my parents have smoked for decades. my dad started when he was twelve i believe and they constantly say we dont have enough money then go out and buy packs of cigarettes.
To me, this song has many meanings. It sounds like the male singer tried to host an intervention for his friend to get her to stop her from smoking, and this can be read as the conversation between them. It can also be read as a conversation between two sides of an addict's brain, one side saying it isn't that bad and trying to justify everything they're doing while the other side knows it's wrong. Either way, this song is hauntingly beautiful to me. The melodies fit together well and make it terrifying as a cautionary tale about addiction
Yeah,it sounds like 6 year old me telling my Grandfather to not smoke but he was laughing and telling me he will be fine but he died This January 2023...
In the part where they sing ''Lalala..'', I imagine myself as the happy version of myself, from years ago, next to myself, in the moment. This song makes me reflect on every decision I've ever made, what I could have avoided, it's a mix of emotions.
I’m 13 rn and I stopped vaping almost a year ago,in my school there’s a lot of people including my friends who vape a lot,most started fainting/getting sick which I’m glad hasn’t happened to me. If you smoke vape/cigarettes I advise you stop,I had to learn this by myself the hard way. You can listen to my words and save yourself the trauma. Aside from my past experiences,I’m completely fine now so you don’t have to worry. I thank everyone who read all this :)
I'm proud of you for not vaping anymore. I completely agree with you, vaping and cigarettes are horrible for your health. I just wish more people would stop. I'm not saying it's easy to just stop like that, but people should consider professional help
"Well, it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance" "When I want to stop, I can" " I only did it once" - said every addict at least once in thier life
It's just a cigarette and it cannot be that bad Honey, don't you love me and you know it makes me sad? It's just a cigarette like you always used to do I was different then, I don't need them to be cool It's just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs Well, it's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance It's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can It's just a cigarette and it's just a Marlboro Light Maybe, but is it worth it if we fight? It's just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee Oh, she's gonna get a smack and I'm gonna give you three It's just a cigarette and I only did it once (it's just a cigarette, it'll soon be only ten) It's only twice a week so there's not much of a chance (it'll make you sick girl there's not much of a chance) It's just a cigarette and I'm sorry that I did it (it's just a cigarette, you'll be sorry that you did it) Honey, can't you trust me? When I want to stop, I can La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la La la, la-la-la-la-la-la Edit: Ty for the likes yall! >:D
To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus. To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done! -Not mine, but pass it around babes
It's even more difficult if you're in family that are stuck in the satanic panic in the 80s, are very conventional and authoritarian, and very strict religious kind
It feels like you’re in a nightmare but then you see someone who is special to you-you think you’re saved but something about them is off. (If they normally wear a specific piece of jewellery, it’s not there, or if they have a cast or tattoo-or even a piercing, it’s completely gone.) and while you trust them, they take you somewhere to devour you and out you under their control. You were so blinded by the fact that you’re saved, that you didn’t notice what was different, so it’s all your fault now.
this song is kind of like me and my grandma. she always said she’d be fine, amd i always tried to convice her to stop. she now developed lung cancer, she’s alive and is on chemo, so i think she’ll be okay. i hope she’ll now realize how cigarettes are horrible.
Really I think the song has multiple meanings which is why I relate to some of the meanings it may carry. Here's some of the meanings I think it has : 1. The literal meaning regarding cigarettes 2. Talking about addictions in general 3. ( the way i personally see it due to personal issues in my life ) The lyrics could reflect to how self harm and eating disorders feel for some including myself, for example, u say ,, il skip my meals today and only today to lose a pound or two" which already is not okay but u end up in a loop of forcing urself not to eat till the point where it becomes basic behavior and u can't stop doing this to yourself, same goes for sh, you say ,,il only cut once" or,,il only punch myself once" which already is unhealthy, but without realizing u end up doing it over and over again, till ur covered in bruises from so much punching yourself or covered in scars from all the cuts. This applies to other mental illnesses and traumatic events as well, u wanna let them go, you say that it's the last time ur gonna let urself feel this way, but u end up being stuck in a loop of whatever mental illness you have, because it's too hard to let go, it's too hard to learn to live without the pain u have been living with for so long because in that pain some of us find a small feeling of comfort, maybe cuz we wanna go back to the time we didn't realize what we were going thru was traumatic, or simply because our brain is a weird place that sometimes can't explain why it revisits and holds on to those painful memories more than it does to the happy ones, or maybe cuz it gives us a feeling of control we have been searching for but never found that feeling so we went to keeping ourselves in the loop to feel like we are in control of something and that not everything is hopeless, sadly this is not the feeling u usually end up with, u just feel even more out of control, but before u can realize it u already don't know how to get urself out of the loop u forced urself to stay in
My dads smokes regularly, even tho he doesn't live with us much due to his work,we still have to cope with his smoking whens hes home And this song is just perfect for that..
I'm Russian. I'm often pressured mentally, and I find solace in songs like that. And it is this song that describes me in a strange way... Sometimes I want to lock myself in the bathroom (which I often do), sit in a comfortable corner and play this song on my headphones. I want to close myself off from everyone. It's scary to see my family, my friends, and what's going on in the world. I just want peace of mind.
This song reminds me of my family, both my parents are smokers but my mom is an extremely heavy smoker who will smoke right next to me or my siblings even though she says she never wants us to smoke, both my older sisters smoke and I've been avoiding it but I get cravings because of the amount of second hand cigarette smoke I've breathed in.
At first, you think it's a vibe. The more you think about it, the more you realize society is like this song. Everyone's doing drugs, smoking, vaping, etc. Addictions lead to many deaths in the past decade. Only some people manage to be free from these addictions. The line "When I want to stop, I can" is something many people say, And they never stop. My parents smoke. My grandparents smoke. Only me and four of my cousins and my little sister don't smoke. So, if this song bothers you, you have every right to be bothered.
@@0shine0 It is indeed sad. But sometimes, you can't entirely blame them. Society is harsh and cruel, and vaping/smoking/drinking could be their last resort.

I used to like this song, but when I was still with my ex (it was a toxic relationship) she said that she tried a vape and this is the song that came to mind, it ruined it because now after a few months, after the one person I kinda loved dumped me, it seems to always come back to me when I'm at my lowest, but now I've seemed to master hiding my emotions, but this is one of the few songs that hurt me so bad to the point that I struggle to hide my emotions when I hear it
A lot of people in my family smoke, my father told them to stop but this is too hard for them because it's a real addiction, guys, it's not too late to stop smoking, smoking gives you only bad things like cancer, mental issues etc.
Yes it is horrible but even if it's bad, people are aware of regardless of what they do whether being on strict diet or not, anyone could die at any moment and they do what makes them happy
im sorry this is happening to you. please make sure she goes to a doctor and try to hide her cigarettes from her. i hope you and your mom are okay. good luck.
@@roseyposeyxoxo it's hard to get her to a docter when you're only 12. plus, if i hide her cigarettes, she'll yell at me. she's only down to 3-5 cigarettes a day now, but she can't undo the damage she's already done. i can't do anything at this point.
@@ur_dawgwaterI’m so sorry you have to go through this man,im 13 rn and I realise at young ages most people have problems at home. Hope your mother gets better.
my mom started smoking again. she stopped smoking year ago she found out she was pregnant (with me). now that she started again, i feel all the fault of this. hits hard af
Firstly, I'm sorry this is happening to u but I do have a question, in ur comment u said ur mom stopped smoking a year ago when she was pregnant with you, now she restarted. Are u 1 yr old or..?
