Daughter - "Smother"

[@miriam8376]

I love that she says "I wish I'd stayed inside my mother," instead of "I wish I'd never been born." As tragic as it is, it's also more hopeful. Inside our mothers we're at our safest, the closest to another human being we can be, and we still have all of our potential with none of our failures. It's a risk-free, entirely loved form of existing.

Long of the short, I have lost several army buddies due to suicide. I tried several times to connect with them and help them but failed.

“I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother” perfectly encapsulates that feeling when you dont want to take your own life but you simply wish you no longer had to exist.

It's almost 4 years later since your comment but I just want you to know I understand. This song encapsulates all of those feelings and somehow, every single time provides a sense of relief I cannot describe in words. Thank you Daughter.

[@bubblegum248875]

The line that gets me the most is "I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother Never to come out" the idea of never wanting to have been born is so powerful yet so relate-able to anyone who has battled mental illness or been through hard times. This thought is so beautiful, sad, and haunting.

When you just want to apologize for your existence.

[@MichaelMagill1990]

Don't ever apologize for your existence. You owe nature, and society, nothing. You're alive, against your own will. If anything begs you for an apology, remove it from your life. This is your life. We're not slaves of our existence, existence is our slave. We bend it to our will and we force it to be whatever we want it to be. It only requires that you know how, and the knowledge to do so is obtainable. Once you acquire such knowledge, nothing stands in your way. After, it will simply remove itself from your view, willingly, because you're greater than it. This is only possible once you've overcome life's tyranny. The essence of a slave is to be a slave of the times--a slave of the circumstances--a slave of nature. If the times, or the circumstances, or nature gets in your way, burn them to the ground. This is the struggle to survive.

personally for me, this song makes me think of someone who feels like they're being too needy and clingy towards one person, and they feel like they're suffocating from all the guilt they're feeling. hence the line "im sorry if i smothered you" smother i think means love. smothered them with so much needs and wants... just my view on it. :)

[@cheebifred]

I've always felt it referring to someone who's created a lot of problems for others and is an attempt at showing they've realised this and the 'oh lord, I'm sorry if I smothered you' is their way of 'repenting' their sins

I discovered this band completely by accident from their song "youth". Have lived them since. Her voice is so mellow and soothing.

[@iloveonedirectionud]

I love all of daughter's songs but smother for some reason is my favorite one. The lyrics, they are so raw, speaking every word I fail to in the most wonderful way. The. Way I interpret it, she has decided that life is no longer for her, that she is tired of everything she is doing wrong. This explains exactly how I feel. I feel like a waste of life, I always fuck things up and even if nothing wrong is going on in my life, my mind will always find a way to make me sad. I always think that putting an end to everything will be the best thing I could do, to save others from hurting them and to stop my mind from making me feel like that. I hope things will get better someday like everyone keeps saying it will.

[@CheezyC]

Throughout this blissful, exquisite track -though every part of it is important and beautiful -the lyrics that really get me are “I should go now quietly; for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep. Where all my layers can become reeds, all my limbs can become trees, all my children can become me -what a mess I leave.” We all can take a song however we feel it is to be taken, but to me in particular, I take it as she's just so tired from always fucking everything up. From friendships and relationships to even the smallest of things. And she's so tired of trying to fix herself that she would rather just go and leave this world because it's the easy way out, despite that she knows how bad she has messed up. And it isn't just this song that's pure brilliance from this band -it's every fucking song they make. Love you, Daughter, and thanks for understanding.

This song expressed the complete feelings that i have in life after I moved. I still have depression but listening to this song makes me some how feel like I am not alone.

[@soup_ina_box9919]

As someone who has been haunted by dark depressive thoughts, having constant existential crisis, and so many derealization episodes, with trauma, I cannot express how this makes me feel, something in my gut, something sick, something that reminds me of all the people who hurt me, abandoned me, or just couldn't handle my mental issues. I know how hard it is to love me. My views on everything are so depressive and dark, and I know deep down that no matter how much help I receive ill always stay the same. Ive had 8 therapists, and 2 doctors, been on multiple medications and sent to a mental hospital twice. Since second grade I've rationalized my horrible thoughts, after years and years of just believing myself I don't think I could ever be okay again. Sometimes I'm hopeful, sometimes I'm happy, but i know I'll always be just a person who never could be okay. Until the end.

[@thanatosoatmeal8178]

[@BURNOUTRS]

As much as i listen to Daughter when im feeling down and I need to wallow, As much as I use this music to achieve catharsis as it relates to depression, I also come here in good moments. Right now things don't seem so bad, but I can still relate to everything in this song. it's very interesting to me, the way that something that evokes feeling of apathy can also make me feel so content. I listen to this now and think of everything I've been through. I feel stronger. I don't feel alone in having been apathetic or having felt worthless. None of those moments define who I am. They don't have to define who you are. Daughter's music just has this incredible stillness and clarity for me. It's funny how even though our moods can be very responsive to music, music can also be responsive to moods. This same song that I've wept to makes me smile right now

[@ryanpham3308]

Personally, I find this song to be a testament to myself. I've been depressed for four years, since having lost a close friend to the 2015 Paris attacks (will not name who) while I was in middle school. Usually, I was the bright and bubbly outcast who somehow made a name for himself, but for four weeks straight after having received the news, I was sullen and seclusive. Two days after I broke down, making clear the revelation to many of my friends in class, and received much needed counseling and consoling. Not that it helped much. My younger sister OD'd at the end of my high school year (still alive), and while she's let it slide, I still constantly blame myself for not knowing she was in such bad shape personally to have done such a thing. Hell, I had not a clue how depressed _she_ was, prior to having done so. By now, we've ironed things out, but I still cry myself to bed in secret at the thought alone. "Smother" was introduced to me by my second ex-girlfriend, with whom I've remained on good terms, post-breakup. Never before was I touched by a song so much or could relate to it to such a strong capacity, since it reminded me so much of myself and the above mentioned events. My high school senior year, five people who I was close to were killed; one (my German teacher) in a motorcycle crash, the other four by suicide. The school only gave a shit for one student who was on the junior varsity football team; the others went quiet. This year, said ex-girlfriend took her life. I don't look the part, but I'm hurting. So much.

This song describes how I feel right now, I adore this boy and I know he won't ever feel the same. Each day I fall more for him, it's always the same all the time, whilst my feelings are getting stronger, and whilst I have to be "okay" when hes there when the night before I was in tears and couldn't sleep. How he's always in my head, a vivid image and he's always in my dreams, I always try and hold onto this hope. That one day, maybe he will feel the same. I know he won't, each day it shatters me, when I see him he's so oblivious and when he's there everything around me is the same, it's all the same nothing good has happened, everyday and everytime I see him I fall for him so much more, he's far from other people, he doesn't dress like the conventional people, he has his own individuality but it's so casual, he's so authentic and he knows himself so well; he's so unpredictable, I adore him. I wish he was mine and we could be something, I know that won't happen. It makes me want to die, I can't even explain the pain in the slightest. It hurts so fucking bad. I just wanna be happy, it's killing me, he's all I want, nothing else. Why is it so hard? It makes me feel so sick, I hate this so much!

Isabelle Soares its gives your heart to live on

[@madeofstone1901]

Isabelle Soares I'm already hopelessly in love with them despite only discovering them they week. Fossa played live is my favourite performance by anyone I've ever heard.

[@vibebreaker3912]

just found them they are so amazing ! like I can't believe I've never heard of them before !

[@vldptz]

since my 16s i listen to this song. Im 21 now. Still fighting depression. Its hard.

[@nicolasestebansalazarvilla9133]

5 years here too. Stay strong, it's not an easy path but don't give up, you're going to make it. There's hope for us, there's hope and love for you

[@semmerson30]

It's been five years since I discovered this song, right after my mother died. It always reminds me of how far I've come since then, of how much I used to feel and how so many of those feelings have faded into something I can recognise now. It's amazing how time heals us, but also makes us forget the worst kind of pain.

[@iesous93]

I still recall the moment when I saw them live and she whispered through the microphone " I am sorry I smothered you" when I shed tears and my body shivered !!

[@ElsyGranville97]

her music is brilliant, and has so much depth. I can help but cry when I listen to this song, it hits me hard on so many levels

[@flowerinantarctica]

cried to this when I was 13 and now 17 when things have only gotten so much worse. I don't think anything will ever be okay

[@sctsempra274]

"where all my layers can become reeds, all my limbs can become trees, all my children can become me, what a mess I leave, to follow.." beautiful.

[@lorraine9876]

All the negative thoughts, emotions, they couldn't find an outlet, cause people want "good vibes" and they don't want your meaningless complaints, so these negative things build up in your head and going to explode, they often talk in your head, very noisy, that's why you keep your mouth shut. But there is a kind of people, talented people, called musicians, who can present these negative things in a beautiful way and write them into music. Music temporarily calms these emotions, so you can face them and have the opportunity to reconcile with these negative things. Thank you, Elena.

[@monostar7]

I discovered this beauty just today. By far,the most beautiful thing my ears have ever listened.

This side of KZbin is Breath Taking It takes your heart, uses the pure & impurest drops of your blood to draw before us a Beautifully Depressing Portrait of ourselves in different light & on a Canvas we've never known. Songs like these gently whisper through the veins to our heart as it beats slower, it beats harder to feel every inch of this Melody. It's truly Astounding how deep Music can cut into us for we're Fragile Beings wanting to be gently Loved.

[@marissawidman6841]

[@JOYBOY_SAIHTAM]

Oh, I appreciate it. I really enjoy music like this. I believe every song speaks to people in it's own little way and the songs that are so calming and soothing, I feel as if they shed a little piece of you that you either knew or didn't know you had. Music is a powerful Entity and since there's so much of it out there it's truly an amazing tell tale for everyone.

[@RubenBJJ96]

Around 2.5 years ago I was severely depressed and I was one hundred percent convinced I was going to die that way. I had completely and utterly given up on life. But here I am today, still going, with friends, a hobby and most importantly, a will to live along with HOPE. Things get better guys. I know you all here this a lot, but I swear to god I am living proof,

[@Detir47]

“In the darkness I will meet my creators.” This speaks to me so much..

[@karrhythmkiller9387]

This song... always reminds me of the one I used to love. I really loved him... I even gave away everything I was for him. & he didn't seem to care about it. I didn't liked the way I felt when I was with him. I felt I couldn't fit in his world. I swear I try my hardest. However... I couldn't take it anymore. & Maybe, right now... He's into another girl. He can't even figure out how much I cry every single night... How I ask why did it had to end, why it didn't worked out, why did I felt that way... & all these unfinished conversations just... hurt so much. & this beautiful song says everything I'd like to say to him. Yet... I can't just speak. I stay quiet... & swallow it. Thanks... for saying what I want to say... & I really love this song.

[@lennardo00]

[@juliasofiagalindo2106]

When I found this artist, this song, I was in middle school and I was so full of pain. I'm in such a different place now, I can't fully remember how much I truly wanted to die, how desperate and scared I felt. It's strange now, that this song makes me nostalgic. I'm just happy I never went though with it. I'm glad younger me made it out ok :)

[@DalidaBorghi]

It's been 8 years since I discovered this song and it still describes me... it's so deep and touches my soul. I'm in love with this song and also with "Youth". This band is my life💖

[@PatricParrot]

I don't regret knowing to know who you are. I don't regret seeing who you were behind the veil you show to others. I don't even regret coming to love you and feel my soul awaken with the joy and thirst for the life that we could have made together. I feel the sorrow that you let go of who I am. You forgot the person who you had fallen in love with. Even if it was because of someone else or because of myself. I awake each day feeling the same way I did for you. I awake feeling as though there is something that I should have said. Something I should have felt. That isn't the case. You forgot me. You forgot that I was the one who loved you when you were there. I was the one who told you that you were more than even you saw yourself as. I guess that is the problem with me. I built you up. I was the one who fell. Now I am the one who is the rubble while you are the one. The ones who awoke the dream that lived inside me. Now I am the one who is left behind.

[@torikinslovesyou]

You are loved.

[@PatricParrot]

+Victoria Calvert Life continues and we learn that the one thing that still remains is you.

[@torikinslovesyou]

+PatricParrot life carries on. That is true but what is life in single existence? One life, one breath, one star, one tear, one death, what kind of life is that? Just existing isn't living and you can't live without love. Everyone. Everyone deserves to be loved and everyone is loved by one or the other.

[@PatricParrot]

That is the painful realisation of life though. That we are born into it alone; live a life of a fleeting existence and return to the nothing from where we came. Nothing means anything and we have no purpose. However we continue, not because of an ascribed version of what we should do in a life but rather what we could do with our lives. What we could become that next day. We live that we may become better and make the life not only for ourselves richer but the lives of those around us. Love lifts us up yes but it is not the the lone thing in our lives. Life is short and fleeting, enjoy what you have while you still have it. Love will come and go, what remains is you and knowing that your life was once with love. So long as I see another day I may see another love.

[@PatricParrot]

It's original. Granted it has been boosted by readings in philosophy and a life lived thus far. Thank you for saying that though.

[@ReynaDianaMusic]

i can relate to this song SO much. and I think it is an internal conflict of thinking that you don't deserve to love anyone or to love them because you "suffocate" them.

[@madelinejackson6498]

I have a close friend who had a really rough upbringing and struggles with a lot of demons. We were talking last night, and he was telling me about the guilt he still feels over a past relationship and how it feels like it’s destroying him. This song happened to be playing while we were talking. My god. I’ve never cried so hard. There’s so much raw pain and emotion in this song and it’s tenfold every time I think about him and what he’s gone through as I’m listening.

[@dianamachado2415]

I just imagine driving my car alone, maybe travel to another country or somewhere and listen to this song. I love it so much and feeling grateful for the life.🥰

[@jabrown1978]

This song almost always makes me teary eyed. Her voice, the lyrics, the production, the sentiment of it , at least for me, is the icing on the cake. It’s a gem really.

[@claudiaparvin400]

This song does something more than explain me. It describes something that is more than me. I suffer. Everyday from whatever it is. Depression? Anger? Nobody knows. But this song. This song (alongside 'Human') finds something inside of me and in the emptiness that is me, it's beauty echoes around my hollow body. Daughter is something more than beautiful. Their music is an escape. It's a dystopian paradise in which I can retire. It makes me feel whole again.

[@margoblankenberg3310]

There is such beauty in pain. So many people do not understand it. Her music is so beautiful, it speaks to your soul and you know that you are not the only person in the world that feels like this. Yes, once I too wished to stay in my mothers womb. But life is beautiful, there are not just dark parts but beautiful light sides too. Lets not forget that. #happinessrevolution

[@houyemb5748]

this song hugs me and breaks me at the same time.. it reminds of something never happened, it makes me think about life, memories, old people and all the wasted days, years and all the laughs and pain I’ve experienced and will experience in my upcoming days, and when i listen to the last part i just want to apologise for the way i am and to my creator so much i hope I’ll be forgiven by myself and by him.

[@midinerd]

I left KZbin playing and went to sleep. woke up to this song in my bed, I was not listening to the lyrics. I wasn't really even processing them but had the imagery of a girl in her apartment arranging her things alone. it made me cry without paying attention to the words at all. Normally I would listen to something in a language I can't understand to detach from lyrical influence, but this time it happened with English as well. I can't completely explain it, but apparently, the sheer beauty and sadness, evocation of this piece, still brought me to tears. So weird. Congrats

[@akinoz]

I wish it wouldn’t have been like that.

[@giatorres7947]

This song means so much to me. I can relate to it so much...even tho it takes me to a dark place in my mind. I heard it in 2016 when I started cutting. It was basically the song i would listen to because it made me feel like what i truly am deep inside. I feel the lyrics, i guess you could say. Even up to this day i only listen to it when i'm down and even to cut which rarely happens now. But right now, as i listen to it, i'm grateful for it. I don't know why but i just am. It gave me relief. I don't usually pour out my feelings in a youtube comment section but i felt like i needed to let it out somehow. And maybe some of you can relate maybe not and that's okay.

[@fawnie7025]

[@cadencehart7026]

I love so many Daughter songs, but this one has always resonated with my soul so deeply. ❤ The most epic moment i can remember was, seeing her live and hearing this song, and right at the end...she broke down on stage...yet continued after pulling herself together and nailed the ending more beautifully than I've ever heard her sing it anywhere else. It was such a moment to witness, she is so strong, so much stronger than she may even realize. Shes gotten me through some crazy times with her words alone, ❤ thank you Elena.

[@dreamer3082]

It’s just masterpiece… no other song described depression better than this one… “sometimes wish I stayed inside my mother” - gives me goosebumps everytime, feeling the same. Sometimes i wish I will fall asleep and will not wake up… It’s terrible and scary, but I feel it. Depression - it’s a disease, very awful and serious. it is a pity that many people discount this. in fact, such a life is a living hell

[@saraiblanco193]

You know.... The best feeling it's realized you're not sad over something you thought u never could. It's such a great feeling. 3 years ago, I used to listen to this song and the other one (medicine) and I used to cry a lot, seemed like I wasn't able to stop, and it made me feel awfull but at the same time I kept listening to it. Now, I'm here. Listening to it, and I don't feel sadness at all. I'm feeling great. Not sad anymore. Not depressed anymore. When it was my 18 birthday, the gift that I gave to myself was getting over all of that, that makes me feel down. I didn't want to kill myself anymore. It was such a goal to me. And I'm so grateful with myself that I could reach it. ❤️ I hope u guys are okay and if you're not try everything u can to feel better, ask for help, talk to your love ones, friends, family, just someone who you trust and make sure it's realiable and has a good Mental health. If u don't have or want to talk to anyone around u, u can talk to me. 🌻Dear person who's reading this: I hope today doesn't suck, lots of love, ❤️ I know u can make it. (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ

[@throwcup]

I cried throughout this whole song. We love you Daughter, you haven't smothered anyone

[@dollykatt]

This is a masterpiece at it's finest. This reminds me of one person in my life. The person who never gave up and kept on fighting. The person who took care of her children, and raised them proudly. The person who now has grandchildren, and is still giving everything for them, even if it's just a tiny bit. That person will forever have a special place in my heart. I love her with all of my heart, and I finally found a song perfectly describing her. The peaceful, echoing melody is just perfect. I love everything about this.

[@dreamer3082]

this song is an indicator of my depression. if I listen to it in a normal mood, then nothing happens to me. when I listen to it in depression, I cannot stop crying

[@freshh8353]

I'm wasted, losing time On a foolish, fragile spine. I want all that is not mine, I want him but we're not right. In the darkness, I will meet my creators And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator. I should go now quietly, For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep. Where all my layers can become reeds, All my limbs can become trees, All my children can become me, What a mess I'll leave, To follow To follow To follow To follow In the darkness, I will meet my creators And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator, Suffocator Suffocator Oh no, I'm sorry if I smothered you, I'm sorry if I smothered you, I sometimes wish I'd stay inside, my mother Never to come out.

[@rocketracoon709]

This is my deep depression album. Particularly this song. Didn't make me sad but it almost acted as a conduit for me to let those feelings out. Haunting in a way, relaxing in another. Almost feels as if I'm within my mother as she sings this to me in the womb. A deep resonance. I hope one day these feelings really do feel distant to me

[@davidantonio6186]

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

Makes me feel as if I had never been born, as if I were a ghost child, following a maiden. Observing her warm, happy life, as I dream of existing.

[@avenoftheabyss4773]

No friends. My friends always leave me behind. I'm adopted, and while my siblings all got to be with each other, it was just me who was left alone. Not to mention why we got adopted out being the reason a few of the messed up ones, including me, got PTSD with all the other mental issues that I can thank our parents for since all they did was huff paint and drink when they had us and our mother even when she was pregnant. I still remember the times when my parents would lock us in this small closet just because we were being loud from crying, the only person in there with me being my other sister who's a year older. I remember her crying. I remember having lice in my hair, my teeth having bottle rot, my stomach protruding from being malnourished. I remember whenever I got scared, sad, or hungry, it wasn't our parents there, as they were off getting drunk or high, but it was two of our older siblings, my eldest sister and youngest brother. Whenever I cried from a bloody nose, my eldest sister would be the one to calm me. When I woke up screaming from nightmares, they would be there for me. I remember getting adopted out. They all got adopted with each other, the three brothers and one sister, the one who would cry with me in the closet, moved somewhere. My other three sisters, including my eldest, the one who always took care of me, moved to another house as well. I remember them visiting when we were younger, we would all have so much fun. Then it would be time for them to go, and as I stood at the screen door and looked out, I would watch them go as they weren't all together but at least they had each other. Over the years, they visited less and less, and now I don't even hear from my brothers or one sister. My brother brought me a teddy bear once, and I hugged it as I walked with him down my adoptive parent's sidewalk; he was wearing jail clothes. Unsurprising since my brothers have all been in jail at least once, my sister lost her children once already, and my other sister with my two other sisters has been in and out of psych for her bipolar disorder. One time she even shoved her mom, or was it hit, I don't remember. She's a mess too. Our biological parents have been dead for years now. Then they all try and talk to me on something like Facebook, and say "I love you" like we're "Family." Yeah right. We haven't been family since were were just kids. I want to tell them, "I don't need you, maybe I did once, but now I don't want to," because it's true, I don't need them. Them, or my former "friends," or the ones in name only like on Facebook. And now, I'm all grown up. No friends. I used to have friends, but they decided to leave me behind also. Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, some FAS even, I'm a mess. I've thought of suicide before, of cutting my wrists, because I'm really a waste sometimes. And even with medications, I still get so gut-wrenchingly depressed. As far as I'm concerned, I have no family except my mom and dad, the ones who adopted me. When they die, I'll be completely alone. I've thought of just ending it right there, because the thought of being absolutely alone terrifies me. My adoptive sisters, I have two, already had their own family when I was adopted. I rely on first impressions only, and I remember my one sister, the younger, giving me the feeling of almost resentment. I was an outsider, I got that easily, and I was a kid. The other sister, she tried to get close, but since I was already so gone, she never got through and now she never will. Their kids, my nieces or nephews, I got close to, but they would eventually grow up and move on also. I'd say I've broken from them also, but I was never truly close...so that helps. This song makes me think of all the things in my life that I now look at bitterly. There are things I do treasure in my life though, but it has nothing to do with siblings or friends. It's my adoptive parents, my parents, my little pet furballs (gerbils), my hobbies, my books, and online things or people. I think of this song, get depressed, but then I remember that if I accomplish my dream of being a graphic novelist, maybe I'll gain some real friends. One day I'll be happy, not alone, or not afraid of being so. For now though, I'll take the occasional time to wallow. For that, I thank songs like this, as nothing makes me think of my past as such. It also feels better to get stuff out, even if no one gives a care. Ha. And they say therapy would help, it's just talking. This will do.

[@avenoftheabyss4773]

A few paragraphs isn't my whole life though, but...I do actually feel better, for now. heh.

[@sassafras8324]

Aven of the Abyss I feel like the ones who have experienced more hardships are the ones with the strongest hearts. It's good that you shared this with us, keeping it in will only hurt you even more. I've had depression when I was around 11 years old and 3 years later, I'm starting to shake the depression away by doing what I love, drawing. So, do what you like, express your passion. Never lose it. Another thing I'll like to address is being alone, I know that feeling far too well. But I see being alone as a double edged sword, even though you're very distant towards people and not talking to anyone, it's also a time in need to create, observe and discover. You don't get that very often if you're talking to people. Sometimes it's nice to step away from the crowd and just be invisible, I feel like we all need some periods of loneliness to really developed and love ourselves, but that doesn't mean we can't meet new people and bring up conversations. Next time you're walking around town, just do a little smile and a quick "Hi", it could help brighten a day or two. Or, you could have a chat with me or anyone else here, in any form of communication. But most importantly, reach out to your family. They love you. You can always trust in us strangers to take care of you and love you, even though we might never meet you in person. Xx

[@luisc9203]

Don't you hate it when you want to help someone but you have absolutely 0 ways to help? I don't know you at all, but do know this: just by the fact that you've been fighting this kind of personal battle for your whole life is amazing. I hope your life gets better.

As cliché as it might sound, you are stronger than you think, you've been through so much already and you are still here, don't let your suffering be in charge of your life or make you stop loving yourself.

First time hearing this song and can't stop listening to it.. Got me thinking about my lonely life. I have friends but I always feel alone. When I go out I'm not enjoying myself. And getting to know someone is so hard for me cause I push everyone away. It's been years now.. Can't do this anymore idk what happened.
