eaJ - 50 proof

Lyrics
Do you still wake to sunsets
and eat home alone
watching the moonrise
asking on and on
what's gone wrong
How you been doing
you sleeping alright
I'm worried your tears
still wake you up at night
and you know why
but you don't know why
at the same time
Who holds you on your 50 proof high
been worried all night
wondering all night
who loves you now
Who wipes the problems
like leaves turned autumn
when they won't stop falling
from your eyes
and from your sighs
who loves you
now

my best friend used to sing this a lot when we studied our modules before our exams. then we’d go to the emergency room to assist our consultants despite the raging COVID cases. she was under therapy for depression, and i was also close to the point of succumbing to it because of how heart-wrenching it was to have numerous patients pass away under our watch. there were kids who were much younger than us and elderly people who were older than our grandparents. we felt so helpless, even as doctors-in-training, to do everything we could-none stop 36 hour shifts, skipping dinner, and avoid meeting our families physically bec it was too dangerous-but it’s still not enough. she passed away two weeks ago, due to the same disease that took the lives of our patients. she was only 26.. just two years older than i am. i could remember her sad face before breathing her last in the same emergency room we sacrificed our lives for. i remember her mother telling me to take care of myself. i remember my own parents begging me to quit my duties as a medical intern and just stay at home. some of her antidepressants are still in the locker we shared, i can’t bear throwing them out yet. i still couldn’t begin to erase what’s left of her existence, even though her boyfriend’s starting to accept her passing. but i cant. losing friends who’s been w/ u through thick and thin really hit different. it’s like an actual family member leaving me forever. i feel so alone in the locker room as i’m typing this, even though i’m in the middle of my 30-minute break before going to the emergency room again, because my partner isn’t beside me anymore. but i have to be tough and fight for the both of us, you know? thank you jae. you may not know this but you helped ease our pain, even though we’re from completely different sides of the planet. i know that you have your own share of troubles too. i may not know you personally but i hope that whatever you’re going through.. you’re not alone. there are people who genuinely love and care for you. there are people who will always be gentle and patient with you while you figure yourself, as human and imperfect as you are growing into the person you want to become. and not just jae, but anyone who reads this comment. you’re here, existing, breathing, and alive. you are important and your heart is precious, we love having you here. stay with us, we can get through this in our little ways. i shouldn’t be sharing this on such a public setting, and this will probably just be lost in a sea of beautiful stories from all kinds of people, but it tugged my heart strings so much that i felt like my best friend’s telling me that it’s going to be alright, someday. the pain will lessen with time, and we will see each other again. maxine, wherever you are, thank you. thanks for putting this song on my playlist. miss you, sis.

Jae, these days must have been so hard for you. We all know that you are still in the process of starting anew with your new found freedom. However, another bumpy road has come upon this path. “Who loves you now?” Some may have turned their backs on you but I just want to tell you that you are not alone. There are still people who believe in you and will wait to see the good change in you. I prayed for you last night. I prayed that may you reflect on everything that has happened and be given enough strength to get through this. I prayed for someone to be with you during this difficult time of your life. We will wait for you, Jaehyung.

[@emmawood8463]

This song makes me feel so terribly sad but peaceful and calm. I clicked on this song expecting to read my book while I was listening. As soon as Jae started singing he actually took my breath away and I just sat entranced. I'm not sure how to describe this feeling but I only get it when I listen to certain songs. The lyrics make me think about my future. I had felt so sad and empty that I wouldn't move for days only go to school and the sleep when I got home. This makes me think about my future self. "Am I going to be stuck again? Will I make it out of that place? Will someone be there for me?" It may sound a little selfish but it's terrifying when I'm in that place. The lyrics bring up those thoughts but I'm in a good spot right now so I feel hopeful. I think it will be okay, I'm not going to back there again. It's like my mind is telling me it will be bad again and at the same time I'll make it through. I'm so sorry that was so long for absolutely no reason. That didn't make a lot of sense but I hope you understood if you wanted to. Thanks for reading about my feelings lol.

[@sunandmoon3568]

"Do you still wake to sunsets, And eat home alone, Watching the moon rise, Asking on and on, What's gone wrong." I can relate to this.

[@nathaniaaldora]

tbh, I listened to this without a thought (it was right after I woke up in the early morning). didn’t know I was going to be hit with all the feels. it felt like (chicken little) Jae was asking me these things, and singing to me, and I know that I would go back to this song again and again and feel comfort and concern and love. I’ve struggled with severe depression for 7 years now and years and years of suppressing it has made all my feelings bubble over and I started thinking about ending my life or disappearing since late last year. i don’t think anyone around me truly understands the severity, nor how much I have retreated into myself and changed myself to become more of an empty shell, just existing and not really living. hell, even I think I don’t understand myself sometimes. things can still be rough, but I finally sought the mental help I needed from a psychologist. i’ve cried on my therapist’s sofa, drank tea while sobbing and did a lot of thinking and reflecting and trying. I just want everyone to know that it’s important to seek help if you need it. also that I’m cheering for all of you to become better and whole selves again :-) much love and bear hugs from a stranger behind the screen (AlSo ThX U JaE For thIS SonG) p.s. I don’t know if it’ll help, but I’ll share techniques I’ve gone through with my therapist that really helps when I am thinking of things I shouldn’t be thinking about. 1. BUTTERFLY HUG (you put your left hand on your right shoulder, right hand on left shoulder making an X across your chest. Then you tap yourself slowly like once every 4-6 seconds? And tell yourself the things you want to hear or say to yourself. Things like “it’s okay. This feeling is not permanent” “I will get better, I can get over this” “tomorrow I am going to have more courage to face my day” things like that) 2. BOX IT (after butterfly hug, think of a box with a lock in your head. then put all your problems and your negative thoughts into it. close the box and lock it and then you should feel that your negative thoughts aren’t floating around anymore, but you know where it is, and you’ve locked it, so you can feel safe and secure enough to sleep. If the thoughts are still too loud, you can do anything to the box like putting it inside another box, wrapping tape around it, sending it to space. Anything you want, but only you will know where the box it and where the key is. I always imagined burying mine and then planting a seed on top of it. Then I watch the seed grow into a big huge tree and it makes me feel like there’s still life and beauty and something growing over negative things.) If you read this to the end, you’re a champ! :-) edit: oops I guess I'm editing this comment because I don't really want to spam all of your notifications with my many replies, but all I want to say is that I'm softened my small tiny message has brought about some form of positive or heartening emotions in all of you + anonymous likers :-) I'll put all of your sweet, sweet words to heart and know that there are human beans at different corners of the world who root for my wellbeing as much as I pray for all of yours as well. on a more serious note, I know that I am not the only one who feels like her sense of self is disintegrating and feeling never good enough for everyone and everything . there are days when I am okay with that, there are days when I feel like I'm so lost while everyone seems to be fine moving forward. the whole cycle of being better, then regressing, then feeling nothing has been tiring, I'm sure many of you can relate to it. I have accepted that sometimes even great friends and family have their own very busy lives to lead and their own problems, so much so that it takes too much of them to be burdened with my stories and problems. instead of being able to confess my darkest thoughts to those closest to me, I had to learn how to cope by myself instead. but at the very least, I have me, and that is enough. I want you reading to know this as well, that regardless of how well or unwell you are at this moment, YOU have YOU. and you come with a huge reserve of strengths and goodness that can carry you through A LOT. (but also when you feel like no one's around, I am your avid cheerleader without a face. I cheer for you and your life.) trying to understand our own selves isn't a straightforward path, it's ups and downs, lefts and rights and sometimes crazy loops, maybe all within a short period of a month. I hope that the strength and goodness within will be able to carry you forward through tough times. okay, I guess I'll end my short essay here! YOU MATTER! I LOVE U! also here's a short compilation of songs that I like for that mellow vibe: trying my best- anson seabra on the train ride home- the paper kites rainbow- kacey musgraves I love you (cover)- audrey mika (original song by billie eilish) love and hugs from a screen apart

thank you so much for sharing. i've been struggling with an anxiety disorder for the past ten years and i've struggled with depression years ago. i know exactly how it feels and the song also slapped me right in the face when i first heard it. took me too long to seek help, but i finally did two years ago and things actually worked out fine and i'm much better now. oh and i loved the butterfly hug thing, i'll keep that in my mind from now on. hope you're having better days and are looking after yourself. sending a big loving hug back!

[@hanaoh2936]

I am not sure if you're reading this Jae but in the slightest chance that you are, I want to say thank you. While you're music may not be that long, it still gives me just a little bit of strength to battle my own demons I am facing. I often feel alone in this world because I lost the my best friend that made me feel like I wasn't alone. They were my home, the person who was my safety person. Ever since our friendship had been broken off, your music has given me comfort. It feels like a big warm hug that tells you you're going to be okay. Jae, because you're music has given me comfort, I just want to let you know that through your journey of becoming your own artist, you are never alone. I am here, your fans are.

not to be one of those sad sappy comments, but, this song is the most calming thing i’ve heard all week. you see, im currently fighting a heart disease/defect and am supposed to be getting another surgery this year. the problem is, with this whole pandemic going on, i’m worried i might not be able to get into the hospital which just puts my life at more danger. my mind hasn’t stopped running all week and on top of that i have to switch to online schooling which is tough. but, when i listened to this song, time stopped. i felt loved, i felt cared for, i felt understood. thank you jae for your music, it means more than you think. and thank you to everyone who read this far, have a lovely day/night

[@obliviousplant6068]

i think that jaes music is so relatable because he doesnt just seem like an idol or whatever, ofc all singers are real people with emotions but i just vibe with jae more if that makes sense, with his sense of humor and maybe the fact that we are from the same area (i lived like 35-45 mins from around where hes from) maybe i just really like his music but i think thats why it all hits me like a truck. kinda like "oh this guy from where im from gets it? hell yeah man! wait why am i sobbing?-"

[@amouryong]

Two years later, I'm just now realizing these lyrics reflect on how I felt at the time and how I still do now. It was so shocking to me, it's like I'm the person the song is about. There's like some parts of it that where things and thoughts I did/had more in 2020, and more I have now in 2022, this is scary. But, it only makes me love the song more now. Hopefully I find a day where the song doesn't hit so close to home, but I'll never stop loving it

At first, it felt like it’s a song for someone. An old friend or an ex. But then it hit me, that maybe that someone doesn’t necessarily mean another person. Maybe that someone is one’s self. A song talking to one’s self? Anyway, this will always be my favorite. Thank you for writing this, Jae. And for sharing it with us. :)

[@olyakvitko2903]

true! I thought about this song in the same way. Like he is questioning himself if he is lonely, if he has someone to rely on, and reflecting about his anxiety and bad/depressive thought, maybe.

As a myday who has discovered Jae since kpop star and Day6 during their debut, I feel truly disappointed of how you are trying to take a control of those people who know Jae from streaming... please be more respectful toward those people especially a newcomer who know him from streaming and become his fan because of his music and his gaming... they don't deserve to be treated this way and this is definitely not the way to help Jae gaining new fans... while we need to respect the artist, we also need to be respectful and grateful toward those people who are willing to be part of this community.. hope you will understand this

i know this comment was posted 4 months ago, but for me as someone who discovered jae and day6 from his twitch, i first thought "oh, i didnt know that he's also musician". and i guess there's nothing wrong with that. eventho now he stopped streaming, i'm really glad that i discovered him through twitch, maybe i would never know about him or have interest with him if he didn't stream. and until now i'm still listening to jae's music/song as a fan.

Dear Jae, This song helped me heal during a recent difficult season in my life. I live far away from home and I've been struggling with feeling like there's purpose in life anymore. It felt lonely all the time and I wished someone checked on me the way I did for them too. When I found this song, it was as if someone was doing exactly that for me. It was so touching and warm. I didn't feel so alone anymore. Please don't stop writing and creating. Your work is powerful and you have a truly beautiful soul. I am immensely grateful to have found Day6's music and later, yours. Much love to you, Jae. 💙 I hope you're doing well too. Praying for you and, cheering you on!

[@katec8142]

I don’t think I’m the only one when I say I answered those questions in my mind. I have a lot of friends, some close friends, some not so close friends. I’m not a popular person in school but I have a lot of friends. Somepeople say I’m lucky to have so many friends and have so many people I can trust but it’s not like that. My friends are all different with different dreams and interests but not a single one shares my interests, understands me and I feel like an outcast. The only thing I wanted was one true friend who would ask me the same question as this song, who would understand me and someone I can talk to about my interests. I have so many friends but not a single one is the friend I want. I love this song because it showed me that there is someone out there who will listen to me or ask me those questions. As of right now, I have lots of online school work to do and it just keeps coming. Because I have so much work to do, I feel like doing nothing. When my school closed, I was perfect fine with the online work. But then, we had our Easter holiday and they didn’t send work then and it completely shut my school mind off. Now, I don’t feel like doing anything. Tbh, I started staying up late, sleeping during the day, not eating some meals, not doing work, etc. Everything that was fun before became boring. I listen to this song on repeat everyday since it’s the only thing that understands me. Thank you so much Jae for this song 💜 I really needed it. I used to write song lyrics just like this but now I write stories. This song made me think about stuff I never thought about before. So thank you so much 💜💜💜 Edit: To all the people who read this, thanks. I know it’s long but this is just a fraction of what I feel. I just hope I can help other know that they’re not alone and maybe someone can help me too.
