Yo Fam,
I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.
Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.
With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

I lost my husband of 25 years in January due to complications of addictions. We weren't together at the time because of the addiction but we had 4 amazing daughters together and I'll always Love him. In May this year I saw you perform at EDC Vegas and tripped with you. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for that journey through my feelings and helping me connect. "Where'd you go?" was particularly special. Thank you. I am your new fan and I hope you find your peace. Much love to all 💗

[@Gripstress]

[@decidiousrex]

I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. It's obviously not the same, but my best friend passed July 2019 from an OD. I remember thinking at his funeral how I wish he'd been there to crack a joke and make us feel better. He had a knack for making the best of shitty situations, but he struggled after returning from Iraq and the addiction set in hard. Rest in peace bud, and I'll catch ya on the other side.

[@Gripstress]

This is hella depressing but everytime I hear the part 'this life is like a razor, When it cuts I bleed. But it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me' I start to cry... my entire life I feel like I've been sabotaging my own life because I don't feel like I'm good enough to live. But I'm trying so hard to change that mindset and become a person I'm proud of being and earning the place I have on this earth. This is honestly my most favorite song ever because it reminds me of how far I've come.

-Change is one of the most difficult things that we face. -Change is inevitable -one reason we dont like change is we get comfortable with were we are. -we get used to our friends, or job, the place we live. -and even if it's not perfect, we accept it because it's familiar. -what happens is because we are not willing to change, we get stuck with what god used to do, instead of moving forward and doing what god is about to do. -just because god has blessed you with what you have, it doesn't mean you can just sit back and settle there. - you have to stay open to what god is doing now. -what worked 5 years ago, might not work today. -if you want to be successful, you have to be willing to change. -every blessing is not ment to be permanent. -every provision is not ment to last forever. -we should constantly evaluate our friendships. -who is speaking into your life, who are you depending on. -make sure they are not dragging you down, limiting you from blossoming. -everybody is not supposed to be in our life forever. -if you don't get rid of the wrong friends you will never meet the right friends.

[@KC-kb4pz]

What is “good enough”? Who told you that you had to earn your place? You’re here on purpose whether you do something with your life or not. It took me a long time to come to that conclusion. If you do absolutely nothing with your life you’ve already earned your spot. Sometimes just getting up and starting your day is an accomplishment. Life is a journey NOT a destination. Pride yourself in small things, they can add up with time.

[@jettbluewolf1861]

This song is incredibly close to my heart. For years I have struggled with depression and anxiety and other things. I've scared almost everyone in my life away from me because of it. Friends have abandoned me when I needed them the most, family became quiet, and I became distant because of it.. I didn't want to hurt anyone else because I was hurting myself. I would be pushing people away without realizing it, losing myself because of it, stuffing down my feelings til it began to kill me and take over my head. I was all alone with seemingly no one to turn to. I didn't want to take anyone else down with me. So I became quiet too.. I faked a smile, and distanced myself from people who I knew didn't care about me and my mental health, but what I didn't realize is that I was pushing away people who cared. Cause I cared about them too much, I didn't want to hurt them too.. I am at my all time low in my life, attempted suicide because of it a few weeks ago, but here I am still. I am still suffering more than my brain can wrap itself around, more than I can contain. Illenium if you wind up reading this, I'd like you to know that when you released this song I had never felt more connected to you. I felt everything that was put into this song. I felt every emotion, every word, every pain felt, everything. I cried as soon as I heard it, drew some art inspired by it, and still listen to it everyday. It reminds me of how you pulled yourself out of a dark time, and I hope I can do it too. I'd like to thank you for making this, it really hits close to home. Love you Nick. Thank you for your wonderful music.

[@amalkumar230]

I don't know you neither I know who you are. But these things you said went straight through my heart because I feel the same way you do. We maybe different in terms of creed, caste, religion and society but we feel the same. That's what connects us and the medium being this wonderful song. A person from an another country and place can't feel the same but through a medium relating to both the sides. This is music. Wishing you a great life ahead and success. And for me too. Cheers! 🎂

I’ve listened to this song basically since it’s release. Every once in a while I’ll scroll through the comments for hours reading everyone’s stories. The community here is so incredibly supportive and I genuinely thank everyone for sharing their personal life details. I have never left a comment on any video before, and I don’t know if I ever will again. But with my one comment I just want to give a shoutout to all the people listening to this song who AREN’T commenting themselves. I know what it’s like to scroll and scroll and cry and cry. And I know that even though there are so many amazing people sharing their stories, there are 10 times as many more not sharing. I’ve been there. So for all the wallflowers out there, know that you’re not alone. Even if you’re not talking, as long as you’re here, you will have a community that truly understands. Hope everyone’s having a good day, and good luck.

"Take you down" Lyrics I didn't mean to hurt you When I hurt myself It's just an empty voice screaming out for help No I didn't mean to scare you But I couldn't see That when I went to hell I was taking you with me (Chorus) When I close my eyes I'm climbing in the dark Trying not to fall apart Sometimes I get so high Falling is the only out I see And I don't wanna take you down with me Take you down, take you down with me Down with me This life is like a razor When it cuts I bleed When it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me Sometimes it's like an ocean And it gets too deep There's no way that you can rescue me (Chorus 2) When I close my eyes I'm fighting in the dark Trying not to break your heart Sometimes I get so high Falling is the only out I see And I don't wanna take you down with me You need to let go now Before you dream I know that you won't understand You need to let go of this hand Cause I'm going down And I don't wanna take you down with me *don't wanna take you down with me* This truly does reflect a lot of people who have any kind of problem with addiction, thank you for making this masterpiece and many others I have personally listened to throughout the years! :)

Crazy thing about Illenium is his music has been the type of music all us sadboi's have been yearning for. Stories/situations of heartache/rebirth/and unreciprocated love. All his musical pieces stem from special places in people's hearts. Thanks for gracing us with your music, Nick.

[@joshbouquet4978]

Facts.

[@Atmanam]

you nailed it. this is perfect explanation!

[@JV-ps6xp]

Nick understands every fiber of emotion in the human anatomy at an unsurpassed angle/range. He understands the rage, the lies, the emptiness, the loneliness, the loud banging in your head, the screams, the moments with your loved ones, the moments without your loved ones, the hollow insides of people, the feeling of being abandoned, the list can go on, lol. Not only is he a beautiful/rare entity seen once in lifetimes, he has the genius to fuse/incorporate/compose these emotions into mindblowing lyrics, verses, choruses, drops, instrumentals. Proof of this is in the genius of Fractures, Lost, Gold, Beautiful Creatures, Reverie, Sound of Walking Away, Where'd U Go etc. Sure, his songs may sound simple but every measure and every single second in ALL his songs are well-thought through. Illenium is life.

Illenium. Ever since I heard your music few years ago I fell in love. I had no idea you struggled with opiate addiction. I'm currently struggling with it too. Been struggling for 3 years now. I'm 72 hrs sober from my latest relapse. It feels like I go in cycles and just keep fucking up, right after things were going so well and life seemed to be going OK while sober. Doesn't take long until I fuck up again. Sometimes it feels as if there is no way out, but to shut off the lights. Your music is so beautiful. So so beautiful. Honestly, I'd be glad if I could touch someones life the way you've touched so many with your beautiful melodies. I think that would give me some purpose you know. Anyways I'm just rambling, thank you for everything you do man.

Thank you, I struggle with alchohol, depression, emotional abuse and suicidal ideation pretty much daily..... just writing that on an anon account was terrifying. This song is beauty itself.

Sometimes I feel so desperate sometimes I feel so alone sometimes I feel sad sometimes I feel I'm gonna fall apart sometimes depression taking over all my body there are a lot of things happening in my life, are beating me to fall down, I fall down every time sometimes I wish if I fell down I don't wanna get up. but one thing for sure I don't know why this pure music giving me so much inspiration. not all heroes wear capes.

[@roshanm6881]

You know what's worse than feeling depressed when no one is there when you need them the most? Feeling depressed even there are friends & family that loves and cares for you. Yet you don't know why you're still depressed. This song resonates so hard with that feeling. Here's hoping all of us gets the strength we need to fight it.

[@TG-nh6ni]

And when they ask what can be done to improve things, the response is "I don't know". 💔

[@daconqueror4080]

Ironically believing that maybe friends/ family can fill in that void u have within but they only make it worse. Especially sharing a secret assuming they’re best friends protecting ur back. but they’re the one that stabs it when they get the chance for their benefit/amusement. Have friends but nothing more the human being is nothing more than a greedy/selfish.. species

I know this comment will go unnoticed, and I don’t care, because it’s only for me. My cat died today. I owned her for only 5 short years, she didn’t deserve the hard life she had, and I wish I could have done more to help make her life better before she passed from some unknown disease. Cali, you left a hole in my heart that I’ll never fill. And I love you more than anything. I wish I wouldn’t have taken you down with me. Maybe it was my bad luck, whatever it was, she didn’t deserve it. This world is cruel, and you didn’t deserve anything but the best.

I lost one of my best friends to an overdose two years ago. It still hurts and sometimes I still think "I should've noticed something or maybe I could've prevented it". Listening to your music reminds me of all the great memories we shared. To anyone else struggling with addiction, you have nothing to be ashamed about and please reach out to supports.

[@juliannabraley1321]

From a human heart to another human heart, I sincerely thank you for your vulnerability and diving deep into this space. It's so apparent why you do what you do. You've shared parts of so many of our souls, and let us know that we're not alone. The darkness can be so lonely, so daunting, so dim, so bleak, so hopeless. But to hear and know that there are others out there in the darkness fighting the same exact demons radiates hope. And even if one can't feel or see the light in this very moment, even if it seems impossible to go on, to know that one is not alone, can be the spark one is looking for. To know that from this place of complete darkness, one can be an alchemist. One can turn the darkness into art, an expression of the human experience. Because at our very core, we're not all that different. We tap into the same pain, we feel the same joy, we experience the same depth in the universe. We're all just various mixtures of the same stardust. THANK YOU.

[@KoussayFridhi]

We are not alone, all those times i thought i'm alone in this, but, now, I'm 100% sure that I'm not alone. To all the people across the globe. You are not alone, we are here for you, I'm here for you. Don't you ever feel that. You can do it and overcome anything. Keep fighting WARRIORS ♥

I really do appreciate you sharing your story with us about your addiction. I can't ever imagine what that was like for you leaping over that giant wall towards recovery. What I can say; for all of us as fans and maybe even friends; is that we will support and always appreciate you as not only an artist, but as a person. Illenium, thank you for being a part of not only my life, but for all of our lives as fans. We will always be Illenium strong.

This song means so much to me.... I first heard this song the same day that I found out that my best friend had lost his battle to opiod addiction. And whenever he would pop in my head this song would come on a moment later as though your lyrics were a message from Heaven from him. Its been a year now and two Christmas's. Your music is so moving and has become my connection to the amazing person that I lost. Thank you for sharing about your struggles and your amazing gift.
