This is the first song by Within Temptaion that i have ever heard. I heard it in 2008 and ever since then i have loved Within Temptation. Sharon's Voice is beautiful and full of passion when she sings.
This song makes me cry so hard, since I’m fighting against depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. And the reason that makes me stay here is the person I love so much, so every time I feel I’m done “I remember you’re a reason why I have to stay” 😞
Keep your chin up hun, better days will come out of the darkness. Hope all is going well, and at the very least, this can bring you a smile or comforting thought :)
This song reminds me of my battles with anxiety, and my 'racing mind'. A daily struggle in my mind over all my fears and insecurities. Inside, I know that a lot of my fears are irrational, but when in an uncomfortable situation, it takes every ounce of mental strength to be able to convince myself that it will be alright. Some days are harder than others, and I just want to retreat inside myself because it seems easier, but this song inspires me to stand up and fight because in the end it's worthwhile. Time IS precious, and I've spent too much of it letting anxiety rule my life. This is a personal message, make fun of it if you will, but I'm sharing it anyway.
+Lozz Lozz I've let it rule me since the age of eleven.. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to shift it, no amount of Councillors have helped me in any way. Depression isn't a nice thing to have either, that and a type of eating disability caused by the fear of sick. Anxiety is a battle, and there has been times where I have completely given up, letting it win, keeping me sobbing in the corner, not doing anything. I left school due to it, due to that constant fear of being bullied again. The fear of sick stops me from doing everything, it's a funny illness anxiety. Councillors made promises to me, then left me, or they concentrated on getting me back into school instead of helping me with anxiety and depression. It's difficult watching your family suffer because they don't know how to help you.. This song unfortunately doesn't inspire me, because I don't see the reason why others should fight and stay - there's too much chaos in the world which increases every year. I got chased by a grown man who called me names on the way. Although I try, it isn't enough. Eleven years old, I began to have half an hour long panic attacks, they made me feel sick to my stomach, and my chest went tight. I have them a lot, and half the time I don't know the reason for why. I've been stuck indoors for nearly four years, I'm fifteen. I am tired of trying, because nothing seems to work. CAHMS have left me to cope on my own, so, we're moving CAHMS to see if they can do any better than the previous: but I don't know if I want to put my trust into someone else. Although I used to be confident, I attended a met and I don't know myself; I didn't talk to people, only shrank in my chair and felt like crying. I used to be bullied even when I left school, however now I try not to think of it because I'm no longer bothered by it. Last year I discovered I was a lesbian, unlike others I wasn't bothered, if anything I was glad due to the things I used to get up to when I was younger. Mom says I have talents which shouldn't go to waste: the one friend I have left says I should sing, where as Nan likes my editing on the internet - Mom likes my writing and I just want to be a voice actress, or any type of acting. My question to you is: how can you just fight and win? I've tried but can't seem to do it, something always frightens me, or I miss the girl I loved.. I don't care what others think of me for putting this, I'm past caring. How do you convince yourself you're going to be okay? It's making me feel poorly and I can't cope anymore
+lydia faulkner hi lydia. I am not sure if you are going to see this, but if you do, please allow me to say a few words that im quite positive might make you feel im ignorant one way or the other (smiles). Anyway... Please for the moment think of me as an invisible voice youre listening to in your head. First thing first... Youre right. Youre fighting a losing battle. Hey hey HEYY dont go yet! Judge me after ive typed the rest down (have you any idea how hard it is to tap on alphabets that are so tiny?) What im trying to say is, you are wrong in that youre asking an irrelevant question. You understand it more than anyone that you cant "just fight and win." Then wont it sound a bit more LOGICAL that you dont need to fight in order to win? I have the strangest feeling that you were thinking about most other people who always seem to conquer this and conquer that, and i understand. But you also seem to forget how you are NOT most other people. Quote from The Imitation Game: its the people, who no one ever imagined of, accomplish the things that no one ever imagines (or something like that. I forget things too xd) Be brave. If you really did enbrace who you are as you are when you found out youre different, which i thought and still think is absolutely amazing and bravely self-aware, then embrace also that although life is an arrogant child, you just need to comfort it, give it a hug, and listen to its babytalk while you move on. Gotta go. Disclaimer: i am not les, not gay, not human, not english native speaker (so i do 'ope you endastan xd)
I can say that I owe my life to this song. I remember myself alone, without strength and with nothing to fight for. And this song helped me. I proposed to change myself. Now I can say that I am happy, I found love, i finished college and have a spectacular job. It really is a state of mind, the world is quite cruel, but beautiful. Thank you Within Temptation !!!
I remember listening to this as when I was really young, but since English isn’t my first language, I didn’t understand the lyrics. Soon I stopped listening to this, and after that I went trough a lot of trauma. That really messed with my mental health. Recently I remembered this song and decided to listen to it again. I can speak English nowadays, and I realized how much the lyrics relate to me. I really love this song, because it gives me the determination to be as happy as I was many years ago.
ok so im a born again christian. yup thats right i said it. now having said that. 1. i love WT. and 2. these pictures are absolutely breath taking, and emotionally moving on a level so deep i cant even begin to try to fully understand. im not a fan of the whole vampire thing(has nothing to do with my faith)but i definitely have a place in my heart for whatever is happening in the obscure reality that is Gothic music/art. hope that makes sense.
Beautiful song,Very touching. Listening to this song, I feel like my soul getting clean and strong. I love her voice. I love Florence Welch too. Florence has leather voice and she is Queen. Sharon has velvet voice and she is Goddess.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. This helped me write a poem addressed from a soldier to his wife as he lay dying on a battlefield, telling her how much he loved her. Thank you for posting it.
Emily Samuels Me to . When I first listen to this song I was a child who loved watching Disney mep and found this song. Ever since then I stppped listening to it since I'm busy with school and forgotten all about it . But then I found a paper with the lyrics on it from years ago when I was little so I cried because it brought up so many memories I wish I had cherished. So now I get to listen to it . It's like a beautiful lullaby. It reminds me of yin- yang
Love the song, LOVE SHARON FOR ALL TIME (no kidding!!!)... Love Within Temptation. AND, I LOVE when people put imagry, esp. gothig art to these types of songs. Love it!!!
I totally love this song. It's so beautiful and it makes you think. Also the pictures from the gothic slideshow are very pritty. Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
*LYRICS* The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind Have to stand up to be stronger Have to try To break free from the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say Goodbye, have to make it right Have to fight Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright I know [I] should realize Time is precious it is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it will be alright Have to stand up to be stronger Have to try To break free from the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say Goodbye, have to make it right Have to fight Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain, I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an Angel who calls my name I remember you're the reason I have to stay Have to try To break free from the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can't say Goodbye, have to make it right Have to fight Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades Away, it will be alright
Pale The world seems not the same, Though I know nothing has changed. It's all my state of mind, I can't leave it all behind. I have to stand up to be stronger. I have to try to break free From the thoughts in my mind. Use the time that I have, I can't say goodbye, Have to make it right. Have to fight, cause I know In the end it's worthwhile, That the pain that I feel slowly fades away. It will be alright. I know, should realize Time is precious, it is worthwhile. Despite how I feel inside, Have to trust it will be all right. Have to stand up to be stronger. Oh, this night is too long. I have no strength to go on. No more pain, I'm floating away. Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, who calls my name. I remember you're the reason I have to stay.
Pandora cut out on this song a few seconds in: that's when I came here and this video was the first one I clicked on. I am SO glad I did! I love all of these pictures and could easily see them being the covers of new YA books! Awesome editing as well!
