We are hollow looking to fill in the void. Our mind is the hardest prison to break from because it atterly destroy us. Srry for bad English & hope u like it Edit: Thank you so much for 1k..

The reasons are 1)He is a humble and a hard working person. 2)His voice is innocent. 3)His music is great, pleasant to hear and always with different good messages for the audience around the world. 4) Unlike other singers he doesn't chase for fame and money. 5) He's clean with no piercing and tattoos. 6)He is underated, he deserves more love and support..

[@Dog-ru1rz]

What's wrong with piercings and tattoos? How can those affect your feelings towards someone? Since you describe him as "clean", would you call him "dirty" if he were to get tattoos and piercings?

[@wormsandmushrooms]

I mostly agree, but yeah why should tattoos and piercings matter? if you don't like those things in general that's fine, but why should the way he looks have a part in how you feel about him and his music? they wouldn't make him unclean, or affect his ability to write beautiful music and remain the same humble, authentic person you described him as

I remember I found this song as soon as it's out for the first time, 5am in the morning 3 years ago. I cried so much and put this on repeat. Now I'm all okay and happy knowing Im not alone. Ever since then, Ive become his huge fan. Thank you Alec

"They put me back into my cell" Sometimes you wanna run wild , do something new (go the hills) but your anxiety and fears drive you back home.

[@Kaslinski]

This song is deep, It ties in with Depression but a bit of having anxiety too. I like it.

i will NEVER shut up about the fact that this kid is SO SO talented!!! Literally my favorite singer-songwriter his voice is so unique! I dont get why he doesn’t have as much fans as other artists who arent half as talented as he is. Assuming he probably writes from his own experience- and made a poetic well worded song out of it truly amazes me

This song reminds me of dissociation perfectly. Specifically depersonalization derealization disorder and dissociative identity disorder, both of which I have. This song is definitely the most relatable song that exists for me. What a masterpiece.

You can't help but listen to Alec's every song while imagining the story he's narrating with such an amazing voice...... 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

[@meepersxd4123]

I feel like this is a great song explaining what anxiety feels like. The “prison” is anxiety keeping you in, “prodding” with thoughts of doubt, panic, and fear. Scaling the building is having courage to be social without worrying, but not for too long, because the anxiety “finds” them again and keeps them mentally exhausted so they have to leave the social setting.

[@marianabasilio2124]

Tbh this song isn't really about anxiety it depends on how you interpret it, this song can about many things it doesn't have 1 meaning it has many.
