[@nenyablue]

Thank you for this video and song! I'm a clinical therapist in the United States. I work with many children and teens who are being bullied, and I have started using this video as part of my introductory work with them. They have been mesmerized by the story the video tells - not one of them predicted the twist. After the emotions the video brings up, they are in a perfect place to hear the encouragement in the message at the end - the phrase "Never see yourself from the eyes of the bully" is very powerful, and several of them leave my office repeating these words. I can't promise they will all become Bloodywood fans, but I subscribed to your Patreon. Thank you, Bloodywood, for this gift to all of us - your courage and compassion is making a difference.

You can cry because you are human... Man, woman, adult or child... To be able to cry over something emotional is a very human thing. I don't know you, but I know your struggle and I love you! I hope life got better for you and that you rose above the bullying to see the perfections in your imperfections :)

[@gjkzstgbpltw]

This song made more than 25 years of my life finally fall into place and left me completely devastated and more empowered than I ever was before. I was bullied at school for 9 years, became depressed at 16, turned to alcohol when I was 20, spent my early 20's as a suicidal, semi-functioning alcoholic. Now I've turned my life around and became the happiest and kindest version of myself than I ever was. But I never properly processed what happened to me in the past. Until now. These lyrics are exactly what my inner child needed to finally find his peace. We survived and he knows, his suffering was not in vain. Thank you, guys.

Congratulations on rising above it! I'm in my late 30s and didn't really experience any harsh bullying until about 2 years ago. We got a new boss and for some reason she absolutely hates my guts for some reason that she's never disclosed with me. She's been trying to force me to quit for the past year or so. It's been extremely strenuous on me and my family. I was fortunately promoted last week and now there isn't really anything she can do to me any more.

Just want to say thank you, all the way from the northeast coast of the USA. Your music is powerful and uplifting, and my 12year old son also very much appreciates your songs. He was hospitalized a few years back from bullies, he cracked his head among other injuries. He's worked really hard to stay peaceful and be the better person, and as he gets older he's found the confidence to verbally intervene when he sees other kids being bullied to protect them and keep situations from escalating to violence. Music like this helps him feel encouraged to keep walking that path, even when it's not easy. Thank you, very much. You guys are amazing artists and people. ❤

I was bullied at school. It was difficult for me to talk about it (made it worst and worse). I made it to the end of this difficult school year. It was hard for me to have friends afterwards. I was 9 years old at that time. I was 18 when I realized I was « someone ». At 21, I was bullied in a relationship with a toxic boyfriend (alcoholic, bully, addicted to video games...). 10 years after this: I’m who I am, with my past, my scars, my fears.... and your message is very important: bullying is wrong. It can destroy a life. If you’re the victim: never hesitate to talk to someone or to call for help!

This song is the epitome of amazing metal songwriting in Hindi. Don’t get me wrong, I love the English parts but Hindi is on another level. The entire refrain/chorus is just pure gold as far as lyrics are concerned. “In darkness, I am of the lineage of the rays of the sun” that’s probably the closest translation of the last line of the verse.

I was bullied very badly in junior high and freshmen year of highschool. There was one boy in particular who was very horrible to me for 4 years. In my mid-20s, I encountered him again. He turned out to be a fan of my band. I saw him at the bar at a show, and was floored to see him there. All the pain flooded back. My friend, who knew about the bullying, decided to approach him and talk to him. After whatever she said, he sought me out. He didn't apologize. Instead, he told me that he always knew I'd be on stage one day and that he remembers watching me play guitar at a choir concert in high school and just being amazed at how good I was. He told me that he loves our music and wishes he could play an instrument as well as me. I decided to not address the bullying. Instead, I treated him as a fan and got satisfaction from his smile and kindness in that moment. Now I hope that I made him feel valued that night. I hold no animosity. I write this because I know there are kids being bullied that are watching this today. Your pain is real. Their pain is real. They do not handle it well. They take it out on you. They probably cannot acknowledge, even with your compassion, that they are in pain and are causing pain. But, you are empathetic and you are a good person. There is NOTHING wrong with you. It truly is all them. Do everything you can to survive it. On the otherside of that, know, truly KNOW, nothing about you was ever the cause. Often, the bullies are imitating what they experience at home. Think on that. What they are doing to you may very well be what they live with from an adult. Your pain is real, but so is theirs. Survive it, and be better. Be what they weren't able to be. And then, many years later, let it go. Just let it be at peace. Know they were doing the best they could with what their life offered them. Know that you were NEVER the reason. You were NEVER a problem. You WERE what they wished they could be and have. That's why you were the target. I love you. YOU are VALUABLE.

Recently found this song and I wish it was around 12-13 years ago when I was still in school being bullied. I feel that it would have helped me a lot back then for it was for sure exactly what I needed to hear.

[@befordmorgan8790]

Thank you. Me being an american I hear of alot of music that say get back at your bullies. This is the first time hearing just endure; your true struggle isn't with them it's yourself; take those times and learn from them; work on yourself; Now as i bleed i feed the seed, born of weakness finally free; For my own ship, I bear the oar; My shield strengthens with scars; Find love under your own skin. Thank you again. I know someone somewhere said words like these before but sometimes it's said in a way that just clicks with you.❤‍🔥

How is this song so badass but so precious? I just discovered you guys and y'all are AMAZING!!!!!

[@cbelden2]

Bloodywood ..... EVERY TIME! You make a danged song that hits me right in the heart, all while playing to my metal tastes! You guys need to come tour the US! And your focus on mental health means so much more to me these days, not just for Veterans of the military, but in general. Having lost friends to the darkness of the mind, it means more to me to hear that there are people out there that genuinely care. It makes me proud to be a fan.

[@anderswallin3883]

I was bullied in school. One of the worst bullies actually had a hard time at home with his dad. That does not excuse his behavior, but it might explain why he did it. Another guy simply did not understand that he was bullying me. He thought that he was joking and being funny. I tried being friends with him a few years ago but he acted pretty much the same. So i confronted him and said that he wasn't funny and i did not want anything more to do with him. He changed his tune a bit when i did that and he said that he thought that i was a cool dude, but it was too late.

[@Jamjosh]

I dont think I have ever had a metal song that went so hard make me cry. This was beautiful and you guys are really something special.

[@netherwhite4098]

I'm a french christan, this song is linked to the christ message. Love and forgiveness and can't be outpowered ! Love you ❤️❤️❤️

Hey I am very happy I found your band, you have really changed my life and I will support you no matter what. I am very glad you are doing what you are doing and I would absolutely love it for you to come to South Africa! You are my favourite band, keep humble like you have always been :)

[@rallivsalado6806]

Just found this song, this meant a lot as I dealt with a lot of bullying in my young and teen years and managed to carry on, now with friends and people to fight for. Just discovered your band today but I'm a massive fan of your work. Best wishes from Spain!

[@anisa_mazaki23]

The message at the end bought me to tears, cuz even though I'd always been aware (and always found solid evidence to back up what I say) - that bullies/trolls/haters use their personal issues to take out their bs onto me (or other people) - their negative behavior still does affect me even today, (especially considering that I am a black/mixed race, lgbtq person suffering from depression etc, is half blind, who lives close to the middle of the "Western" side of the world where the epidemic of "karen/ken" type (extremist) bullies exist. Those people often don't regret their actions/ behaviors cuz they believe they are justified, nor do they ever apologize for said behavior either and they usually have a tendency to stalk you, make hate propaganda about you and try to find people who didn't like you to side with them. It's too the point now where some of us have to call in the Police or file for lawsuits just to deal with such people. It sucks to feel like you can never be safe anywhere you go.

[@saurophaganax_0]

how did I absolutely missed that the paralel of the video is not just that who we think is the bullied kid grown up is actually the bully, but that he is bullied as a grown up the same way he did because violence is a cylce that can only truly be ended by having the strength of forgiveness and uncerstanding freedom

[@DiktatrSquid]

That ending was damn powerful. Thank you.

Why every single one of their songs are amazing??

[@pandapuffzee8255]

Because they love and live what they are creating. Honestly I just found them and I'm so excited I did.

[@gfimadcat]

Because they aren't beholden to some corporate overlords who tell them how to act, what songs to write, and what sells best. These guys just... do whatever tf they want to do, and apparently a lot of us love what they do and support them so they can keep doing it their way. And I hope they will keep doing so for a very long time.

I often return to this song when I'm having a rough time, or feeling helpless and hopeless. It makes me cry every time.The words in the chorus speak so deeply to my inner child, who hasn't healed from years of torment, and struggles with self worth and feeling like I belong. Even though my pronunciation is probably no good, I love singing this song. I found this song when I was at my worst, and near suicidal. It brought me so much peace to listen to, along with Jee Veerey. Thank you so much for your gift to us with your music, and for helping me.

I don't think that I have broken out into tears like this in a very long time. I was bullied to horrifically as a child that my parents had to take me out of public school to home school me. What is most poignant about this video is the fact that I struggled so hard out of poverty to put myself through school to become a nurse. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with nine years under my belt working the Medical/Surgical floor at a local rural hospital. I am also in my last semester of school working on my Associates Degree to become a Registered Nurse. I feel the struggles presented in this video and was shocked to see the ended. I burst into tears as I know as a nurse that disease, poor health and death affects us all. I would gladly care for my former bullies loved ones like I do any other patient. Granted, it would be nice if they could see the reality of things and appreciate life on a level field. I carry great traumas with me from my past and my scars are innumerable. But as a health care professional, every life that presents itself to me is worthy of my best effort.

[@nashdasmurayan1975]

Glad you came through all that and found meaning from the suffering you endured. May everyone hear your inner lion roar. Shine bright.
