This song always hits home to me. As the black sheep of the family, middle child, and only son whose parents always sweep under the rug when people ask about kids and they say they have 3 but I'm nowhere to to found. Always seem like I'm underachieving compared to my sisters who they love more than me but even though they treat me that way I still visit them twice a year. "I will be home in a while you don't have to say a word. I can't wait to see you smile. Wouldn't miss it for the world."
Part of me wants to say they're pieces of shit whom you shouldn't care about, but another part of me would probably feel similar in ur shoes and knows it's not so simple, or is hate the best answer
I grew up in a similar situation. My older sister died when I was 3, and my brother was born a month later. She was the angel, he was the miracle, and I was the kid they wished didn't exist. At 40 years old, I can tell you that the best choice I ever made was walking away and going no-contact.
This song reminds me of running away for 5 months. I put this on full blast on my headphones as I walked across to Illinois and couch hopping til I had nowhere else to go but home. Early 2000s was a good time
Después del masivo abandono familiar, solo nos quedan canciones como estas para luchar por ser grandes personas. No solo te salvan de una adolescencia podrida...
Left at 17 now I’m 33. Keep pushing forward without looking back. Dive into what you enjoy and don’t compromise yourself for anything or anyone. Be you and be happy with that.
2019 and still jamming! This was my favorite song when I was 19. It’s funny too, because I was moving out of my parents house and they flipped and we weren’t getting along bc of that lol I totally felt this song and still do !
I always thought of the ending like he found his new home, you know, as an adult. And now he can feel safe there and has someone (wife/girlfriend) he wants to come back to.
I think that a lot of people in the comments don't understand what this song is about. It's not about you being a disaster, it's knowing that no matter what you do or become your family will always be there and you should not blame them for everything that happens to you.
I somehow understand and I think that makes the song sadder in some way. I listened to this song in a time when I argued with my familiy almost everyday because of a severe depression. Eventhough they never understood me, they were there.
I feel like i am not good for anything & i don’t know what i’ve been doing all my life but the thing that i learned all this time is to always take care of your family and don’t hate.
I hope that everyone here is okay. Please be safe and remember that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it sometimes. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. I wish you all the best.
This really is the summary of how my life was. For anyone hurting and going through similar circumstances, God can help you. There is hope! I know Jesus has changed my life and changed my family as well. Me and my family have drawn so much closer and I've never been happier. All that unforgiveness, bitterness, anxiety, and pain I once had is all gone, I have peace now. Call out to God, he can and will help you!
This story of a song made cute knife mark on my left arm, and now I'm 40 years old. I still sometimes look into the sky and say 'how the Heck I'm still alive?'. When I was young, bitch slapped my face and mocking me with trash words every single day, moron acted like he doesn't even care. I can kill them easy, just saying. But somehow I look up to the sky and everything is allright.
as an middle child that is always forgotten and ignored who has no idea what the fuck to do with it's life and hating my alcoholic dad this song makes me wanna tear up and cry but always fights to hold the urge 🙃
@@averyhoard4060 how is that rude? What's wrong with being emo? It's simply just emotional or vulnerable music. Even the Beatles had "emo" music like their song misery or while my guitar gently weeps.
Why does this remind me of reading Frankenstein for junior year English to the point that i sent this song to my junior year english teacher at the end of my junior year about it
as a bass player I can tell it was Cone's idea to have the bass come in 1:13 playing 8 notes before it moves to playing 16 notes when the vocals come in, which is probably why it was cut out in the other version, which sucks.
I rebelled so hard for so long with this song. But this maybe the most Christian song I've ever heard. It's in two parts the story of a kid who rebels because they think their parents don't love them enough. And the story of the bible, like the whole bible.
