I’m not 100% sure what’s happening but I think it was hope. Thanks for whatever you did. I’m still not entirely sure

[@user-nc4xi4es7m]

This song speaks right through me. As someone who used to have a lot of friends i sure have spent the last 4 months of quarantine alone, both emotionally and mentally. Im so so glad someone introduced me to him before. I often cry myself to sleep and although most of rex’s songs are sad and mellow sounding, i feel like someone’s there who understands me and is with me.

[@reitumetsemolefe6609]

I relate with this song on so many levels. This year for me alone was probably one of the hardest years of my life. I went through so many situations where I lost control and sense of who I was. Whether it be through the connections I made or the content I allowed into my mind, I lost sense of who I am. I lost my self-worth and I was so depressed I relied on weed to make me feel better (nothing against it, just feel like it shouldn't be abused). I didn't know how to smile or laugh without it in my system. I got help when my parents found out but I obviously did not appreciate it and went right back to smoking. They found out that I had continued the second time I was rushed to the ER. I hated the life of lying to my family, closing myself away from the world and being distant with my friends. But I found myself, call it seeing the light. But through allowing myself to realise my worth and to find my weirdness again, I stayed clean. Prayed more, loved more, laughed more and cherished myself more. It was not easy, I'm still struggling, but I'm learning. I have my family, friends, God and me. Never forget yourself. This song, among many other, have words that make a person realise they come from a long journey and are making progress in getting help. "It's not the same anymore, it's better" and it truly is.

This song popped up when I was at my lowest. Having a hard time to sleep, feeling pressured & just scared of what the future beholds. This song rlly hit me probably the song that I can 110% relate to because I and probably we also miss our childhood where there are no problems and we are carefree. Thankfully now I am slowly recovering so to anyone who's suffering just always remember everything is temporary and don't think and be scared so much of what the future beholds live life at the moment because tomorrow is another day.

This is a very powerful and relatable piece. It starts of with a dim atmosphere, and openly displays a lot of feelings and symptoms of depression. The reoccurring line "It's not the same" alludes to living in the past and not enjoying the present, a mindset that is heavily linked to depression. The artist illustrates many of the thoughts and emotions of someone who is depressed, and I believe he is speaking from personal experience. My favorite section of the song begins at verse 3: "She makes it easy to cry The words fall out of me and there's no more disguise... I used to be so hungry Right now, my stomach's full as hellll" Rex's songs have really great emotional catharsis toward the middle and end. This part of the song hits very deeply, and he begins to express relief and acceptance of his mental state in the lyrics. He details the importance of support and help from others when dealing with mental illness. A detail I love, is that the line "It's not the same" takes on a different meaning at the end; "It's not the same anymore It's better It got better" Now, Instead of alluding to regret and depression, this phrase now refers to getting better and beginning to enjoy his life more. This song conveys a journey of someone who is coming back from depression, and it illustrates such a wide variety of realistic emotions and head spaces. It isn't just "I'm depressed, oh I'm not depressed now", it portrays a realistic journey: the negative thoughts someone might have, breaking down and venting, their relationship with others, and ultimately accepting that they have problems and need help. In many cultures it is normal to push away your problems instead of dealing with them, and this song portrays the effect that that has on someone's mental state and how a mindset of acceptance can help you move forward and do things for yourself. It shows that denying your problems only worsens them; and once you accept them you can begin to work on them and improve your life. Overall I think this song is a really emotional and powerful piece and anyone who has struggled with depression can relate to heavily. Rex puts into words what many people feel on a day to day basis, which helps them feel not alone, but he also shows that despite our anguish, our problems do not define us and if we work on them, things can get better.

I'm glad to say I'm starting to relate to the "it got better verse" 😁

[@bentobeannn8683]

"i lost the joy in my face, my life was simple before" that hit so hard. when i look at pictures fo us and how happy i used to be i just miss the joy that i used to see in myself, things are slowly starting to get better so im happy about that but still, wow. this song is amazing.

[@lutfinikitaalamsyah2968]

Pluto projector : "I'll do the same" This song: "it's not the same anymore" Ok.

[@Ghxstlygraves]

The order of the songs is important. The first 5 songs are a reflection, the next 5 are his more current mindstate. As quoted by him here in the last sentence; Pony is both simple and smart: five songs laying open the troubles that beset Rex over the last year or so, then five tracks teeing up how he turned things round. Or, as he puts it: “The first half to me is the angry, reflective thing. And the second half is: now I’ve gotten over it.” I know this was probably a joke but I aim to educate lol

it's not the same anymore 😭

Was listening this while reading Goodnight Punpun , this really came at the very right time .

[@pipermayberry7651]

the end of the song is so beautiful it brings me to tears

[@flivver2527]

It's better, it got better ♥️

[@phoebegracen6925]

"I wouldn't wish this on my enemy or anyone else" I don't know but even though people disrespect me and always made me feel worthless, I still want the good for them. I never thought that love can be much hurtful than hate.

"and it’s not that rare for me to let myself down in a big way" the sunflower reference aaaaa

Ive never had a song effect me in my life so much. I can always put this song on whenever I’m down and it’ll be exactly what I need to hear. I couldn’t put into a KZbin comment how much it means to me.

[@aroundten]

THIS IS SO WEIRD. i've never cried to a song before, never even come close. but today i decided to listen to this album again out of nowhere since i used to listen to it a lot in 2019 (i was literally 12 lol). the album was just as good as i remembered it, but then i got to this song, and the feelings that just hit me were soo unexpected. when i listened to this back then, i remember just feeling such an emptiness and sadness that i couldn't even explain, and i'm much more mature now and it has passed, but i remember listening to this song and just relating to it and wondering when it would "get better". now that i listen to it, it really is not the same anymore, and my life WAS SIMPLE BEFORE. SO MUCH SIMPLER. and i can't even really relate to the "it's better" part yet, but this is the only song that has made me almost cry. i expect a reply to this comment from my future 19 year old self pls. thank you rex for this masterpiece of an album

[@jbondad66]

rex be dropping bop after bop😭 my heart is happy and fucken sad at the same time💕

[@shreksshroomiess7255]

This song sticks. I feel what he’s feeling. Talking about how he see’s himself differently and that things change.

[@madisonreid5836]

this song makes me sad. I hate to hear that he was going through such a hard time and he was beating himself up about it :(

[@rafiqdan]

Makes me think about my ex,she died last year. Yeah I can say it's not the same anymore. Idk why I can't move on. Hope she's in a nice place. God damn I miss her.

This lyrics was so deep :( I miss the days when I was someone else I used to be so hungry Right now, my stomach's full as hell And I've spent many months just hating on myself I can't keep wishing things will be different Or leaving problems on the shelf I wish I didn't need to get help

[@matheusmisterfox]

I'm crying at this Lyrics :'(

[@DsComicColours]

This songs like a rollercoaster of emotions.

[@ManikaVian]

She's gone, she leaves me with no reason at all. All the memories we spent together will be not the same anymore

[@jas-ms8fs]

listening to this during the covid pandemic really makes me emotional.

[@hunterwilson4557]

After years I can finally come back to this song and say it got better 😁

[@willowoodz]

relating to ever single verse of a song is a spiritual experience. this song, for me, is definetly a spiritual experience.

[@greekgeekman]

It’s odd, about a year ago I didn’t like this album, but through the year I’ve had to take up a measurable amount of responsibility. And all of a sudden this is the most relatable album he’s put out

[@juanaa6332]

Same I didn’t like it till I could relate to it LMAO

[@greekgeekman]

@@juanaa6332 We’re so self-centered bruh 💀

[@OliverOils]

I always liked it but thought it could have better instrumentals specifically the song "Always" and "Never had the balls" Always had such good vocals and I LOVE the lyrics but I wish the instrumental hit harder

[@jonkaboo]

it’s 10pm here in california and im sobbing bc depression hits hard and im glad that Rex is feeling better regarding his mental health. take care of yourselves yall

[@rashifarsya]

Rex literally just summarized my life in one song

[@helo-9762]

what a vibe bro

[@klarenzcobie6595]

Title: Its not the same anymore Background: *THE SAME*

[@ianlee5109]

klarenz cobie 😐😐😐😐😐

[@mutatedpiranha4589]

I love how in the beginning, it’s a lot more written word than instruments but, as we get to the end and realize it got better, there’s less lyrics and more sound. It really goes to show how when you are depressed, anxious, angry or lonely, you get these words and phrases going in your head but, as your mind clears and you find yourself getting better, you experience moments rather than berating yourself. I almost always tear up after the long instrumental pause before he says he got better. It would be like if there was a flashback of the happiest moments of my life leading up to now.

[@kit8591]

I cried while listening to this song, i think about how hard my life is, when i was younger i kept on wishing about growing up and i thought my life will be better, so i stopped playing and i focused on my studies and now, i regret every decisions that i made.

[@goldtrojanman781]

Why do I always come back to this song? 😢

[@moonheartsky]

i cried myself to sleep to this song when my boyfriend was in the hospital for a while. i was terrified and so lonely not being able to talk to the closest person on my life. and it was so painful sleeping alone. that same week when he left, i also ended up homeless and sleeping in my car in the cold. i didn’t even have enough money for gas to get to work. that part wouldn’t have been so bad if i at least had my boyfriend with me, but i didn’t. it was probably the hardest point of time in my life. but now he’s finally back and we managed to find a place to stay. so glad that nightmare has ended. it finally got better :)

[@wolfhaley3978]

Darling you are so strong and I wish nothing but success and happiness for you my love I’m glad things are better

[@samanthasmith7983]

this might be my favourite one

[@TangoTangerine12]

Samantha Smith it’s definitely mine! I like the part where he says “my stomach is full as hell” with the strings in the background

[@Love-pv1vd]

this song is so long it took me about 6 tries to listen to it to make it till the end and when i finally did i cried happily because all the times befoer it made me feel so sad i didn't wanna keep listening (but like, it's a nice song right...) but the struggle was real and i'm glad i made it because now every time it comes up i listen to the whole thing because i just know it will make me feel better

[@trololo69]

This song is my therapy

[@lvrvenn]

lmao same

[@user-up9sl4hn3e]

honestly one of my favorite songs of all time, i always find myself relating to it and by the end it feels like reassurance like i’m being told that everything’s gonna be okay. this song will always have a special place in my heart

[@autumnrizzo9812]

I never related to this song before. Then come, today, I realized that this was the perfect definition of how I’ve been doing since march of this year. It’s been a fucking struggle. I want it to get better so bad. I want to be excited for life and the future rather than feel trapped.

[@raiden168]

Same for me, ever since quarantine started everything went downhill and i cant find a way out.
