Dear - Cavetown Lyrics

[@kainoahthefrog]

"A thing that makes them double think when they're standing at the railway crossing lights. . ." Holy crap this hit home HARD, not just for me but for a lot of others that possibly live near me. Btw it's because I have a railway that I cross a lot and I suffered from severe depression in 5th-9th grade, then starting on pills which helped, but before I remember seeing the train coming and the bars going down, I was ready to step forward but stopped. I know in some other universe I didn't stop and my family would have been devastated, it took me a bit too long to realize how much it would hurt them.

[@kainoahthefrog]

@@solann_ thank you, I was just having my nightly cry to get myself prepared for the next day where I'll probably be crying again lmao. But thank you for making me feel loved for the first time in a while, I really needed it.

People mostly relate to this in a depression way but i actually relate to this in a different way. I have schizophrenia meaning, i tend to see monsters, every day. Being chased, i had to get taken out of school because i would start freaking out in class. I got very sad because of it and started hurting myself before 'the monsters' did. I got put in a mental facility for a couple days, then got let out. They gave me these new meds, they hurt my head but they help alot! So all of you who have little monsters following you, wether it's emotions or illusions, there's always going to be a painkiller for it. I love you guys

To anyone having a hard time: I recently went to hospital for long term for attempting to jump in front of multiple cars I felt so meaningless and just like I didn't belong in the world. This song has never hit harder than it does today looking back at everything. Knowing youre not alone in the world, "gotta stop avoiding the fact that it's not just me in this whole godamn world" people will miss you if you're gone forever, stay here for others, stay here for me. People need you, you're lovely, youre needed

[@Alren-ki]

If I'd found this song about, 3 years earlier, I probably comment something about how hard it was just to push on, and I couldn't find out why. The girl who would have said that finally got her rest though when I figured out what was wrong, I didn't wanna die, but she had to. And lemme say, Alren is so very much happier then she ever was, so now, all I can hear is a conversation to my past self, suggesting a certain other set of identities that have made me much happier ((I'm trans, dysphoria hit early teens hard and disguised itself as depression, Came out and found my community and feel so much more at peace))

Thanks for your outpouring. It only took you for me to understand myself. No one else but you. And that's what I instinctively knew right from day 1. That the Lord gifted me with ...instinct.....but this is a new revelation only discovered a few days ago.

[@cactuscoffin]

As a person with extremely bad BPD among about a dozen other mental health issues this song just speaks to me on a whole different level.

[@waffles9663]

Coming back to this song after about 2 years. I used to sit and cry to this, I lost so much sleep and I was just in pure pain, I had absolutely no hope and I was so, so ready to die. I stopped buckling my seatbelt and taking safety precautions. I gave up on school and failed my classes, I had been in a break up and I was just so tired of myself and my parents, and everyone, life. Coming back to this after 1-2 years, listening it, I realize that I've come really far, I'm doing better in school and I met someone I truly, truly love. I made more friends and I started high school, I have an idea of what and who I wanna be. I'm figured out my gender and identify. I just wanna say, it really does get better. It'll get easier. There are a lot of tough times, but there's always better times ahead, so don't give up, my dear:)

[@raygriffon3177]

*when your life becomes the apology for your face*

[@midnightblueiris]

"I won't even lie, I'm screaming inside all the time, it seems like a breeze, but I don't wanna die" Recently I've been having a really hard time. I consider myself a joyful person, I have so many dreams and I know how to enjoy little things. But still I'm thinking about putting an end to my life and leaving all behind because I don't really know how to solve what I'm going through, and as time passes I feel more and more unworthy and a total waste of time and space. I made people around me suffer and even though I love them I think they would be better without me. As I said, I'm such a joyful person, I love making jokes and seeing others happy. But in the moment I realize I just hurt anyone who tries to approach me I don't consider myself worthy of love anymore. And so I'm thinking about ways to just, you know, go away. I don't wanna die. I have so many things to do. And I'm so sorry for putting this in here but I'm crying so hard and I don't want to hurt anyone more than I already did by telling them I'm recently thinking about committing suicide.

[@Somebody-Somewhere]

Please, please tell someone, sweetheart. I know how it feels. You do not make anyone suffer. I'm going through the same thing, but please, please open up to someone. It will make you feel 100 times better. I care about you, I care about your pain, and i don't want you to leave. Trust me, you make people's lives so much better. People love you, even though it may not seem evident. So please stay with us, open up to someone, and know I care about you, even if I am just a replier to what you said. I hope things get better!! 🤗🥰❤❤

[@midnightblueiris]

@@Somebody-Somewhere I woke up to see this and I smiled a lot. I wrote it during a crisis and when I felt better it embarassed me to think of me putting down something I feel so personal under a youtube video. But thank you so much, I really really appreciate your reply. If you're going through the same thing, then we gotta stay strong for each other too. Let's keep on fighting 'till we win❤️ These little things are something we should really remind of when we are felling at our worse.

[@yeesenia8548]

[@reksutrygg1761]

My parents found out about my self harm because my friend told the school counselor and they called them. So I can’t do that anymore because they want to see my body to make sure I haven’t been cutting. Right now I’m starving myself because it’s my only way to deal with the pain I feel.

[@angryartist3170]

Starving yourself and self harming is only damaging you in the long run. It may feel nice now, but eventually it'll become more and more extreme the more you do it. I know. I've done both of those things and even years later I still struggle with it and it's not healthy. I really think you need to see a therapist and/or a psychologist. They will help you learn to cope with your emotions in healthier ways. It's a slippery slope. And I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

I’m feeling really depressed lately. Nothing ever gets better with my family, it’s the same old shit every day. Fighting, yelling, I’ve gotten so used to it that I expect it everywhere. I’m so used to suppressing that I’m hardly myself anymore. I don’t even know who I am. I haven’t for the past 5 years. I was here in freshman year, and I’m back again. Things haven’t changed family wise at all. It sucks.

[@unscrupulous_shrimp3266]

And now I can’t even spend Halloween with the people who make me feel alive and not a hollow shell. Because I don’t have ride and my mom has been getting sicker and sicker and as she said, will probably die soon. I’m just in a really dark place tonight. At least I’m 16, and getting out of here in two years. I just hope I’ll be able to finally live after I get out of here
