Staind - Epiphany (Official Video)

[@paulh9979]

If you have never suffered from depression , you don't know how dark a night can be. It makes me mad when people say "it's the cowards way out " when they have no idea the pain it brings. For anyone that truly knows , we know the strength it takes to go on ONE MORE DAY.

[@MichaelWilson-zr7oj]

Truth brother 🙏

[@automachinehead]

it really is the cowards way out.. wth are you on about? if I didn't push myself to go out of my bedroom and touch grass after living in obscurity for 11 years, I would've stayed mad and probably lost it by now. thank God for covid, bc of that, people went inside while I did the opposite. the lockdown was all it took for me to find courage to walk out again. damn I hate people still but I am learning not to mind them now.

Why do people always say how old they are?? Mental illness is mental illness regardless of age.

[@johnmcguinness6804]

35 here and this song brought me to my knees tonight. Mental health is no joke, and there’s no real systems in place to treat it. Hospitals aren’t designed for most of the depressed population, outpatient would be just fine, but trying to get someone GOOD or someone AT ALL these days is trash. And expensive. Most of us who suffer live check to check.

I've been dealing with Complex PTSD from childhood to present trauma. I had been to counseling since in my 20's after trying to take my life. No Dr ever diagnosed me properly or ever asked about my childhood until 4 years ago and once I researched what it was I finally understood why I felt the way i did my whole life. Sad that no dr. got it right for that long. I missed out on feeling normal my entire life!!

Grief is one of the hardest fkn things I've experienced so far. I lost my mother in 2000. She was my best friend, she was a down to Earth person. A flower child of the sixties, smart as a whip. Mean as a tiger ,there were so many things she taught me. I miss her so much ,she never let me down. Ever. She was the most tranquil soul I've ever known. A good natured spirit. I could go on and on. I still cry to be with her. She's checked on me every now and then. There is no words really. My mother was a very precious gift to this short life. Sadly the curse of this life is to loose everyone you truly love,and we can't do a dahm thing about it. We just moved forward through it. Accept it. Let go ,but never ever forget. I know she would want me to keep on going. I just hope she is proud of me. I'll love her for all eternity. If there was a award for best mom. She would get it. It gets better. It takes a while. I cried for seven years till the tears ran out. What gave me the strength to carry on ? I got unstuck when I stopped drinking alcohol and doing hard drugs. It was suppressing my healing process by burying my feelings. Clarity unblocks everything. I feel her around me sometimes. I dream and she's with me in my dreams. She still teaches me good wisdom. She was my best friend here. Always will be. Forever.

I was a rebellious teenager when this song first came out and my mom despised the music I listened to EXCEPT this one. She died in 2003, and since then, this is the song I remember her by. She would go on eternal rants about how crazy I was for listening to what I used to listen, and how this song really was different, well composed, emotional, and she even liked how it ended with "heart beats". 18 years later I still miss her, and for a good part of those 18 years I'd cry listening to this; now it makes me smile because it brings back fond memories of when she was alive. Thanks, Staind, and kudos for writing the only song both me and my mom agreed was good. That is an accomplishment in and of itself.

This song is a powerful way to express pain you have inside which maybe hard to put into meaningful words to someone that cares about you and is trying to help and understand.

I read so many who have lost by suicide, I too have been to the edge of that abyss darkness, a nearly silent whisper and I didn’t do it. The next day I lay in a cell surrounded by the hardest of the hard murders only. I awoke to hear one sentence above all the jail noise, “One day God is going to knock you flat on your back, so that the only direction you see is straight up”! I was told that when I was just 17. The angels carried that statement aloft until when I reached 30 they delivered it to me in my crossroads. I know now, for those who are called today to believe, only the harshest is hurtled at them, we, us, you and I. We are truly that important that only the worse is used to stop us. I’m 61 now, disabled just this year and suffering even greater right now than I was way back then, but I’ll never walk up to that edge again. So to you out there, life is only going to match you in this fight, that’s the only way to really be a champion. Take a knee, an eight count but whisper while your down there a single silent prayer for strength. Now that I’ve shared this whisper one for me too, I just broke the rules so here comes the kitchen sink again.

[@Rush714]

Truly poetic my friend, I was in a cell when I spoke to the one above to prove to me that He was there for me and I would be only for Him. Well He proved it and continues every day. Have faith!

[@NightNinja1998]

An instant classic, and songs like this... This is what I appreciate Staind for the absolute most. Way too much secular music focuses on subjects that... Really don't hold meaning in the true world, like sex and drugs and money... None of that holds the real meaning in the world that people are always searching for... However... Songs like this, Home, Fade, It's Been Awhile, Outside, Open Your Eyes, Falling, So Far Away, Warm Safe Place, even their current songs like Here and Now... This soulful music is what makes me appreciate Staind the absolute most, and because of that... I'm praying for them all, along with their families and friends... Genuinely, our Father who is in Heaven, hear my prayer for them all... In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray this, amen. 🙏 To those who also are fans and, also men and women of God, please join me in this prayer for them. ✝️

I lost my mother in 2000. I reached a pretty dark place during that time. I found the Dysfuntion album right around the time I lost her. Aaron's feeling in his songs helped me through it all. As the years passed, and my feelings changed, Staind released Break the Cycle, and 14 Shades of Gray. The tone of those albums fit with where I was emotionally during that time. I owe Staind, like so many others, for keeping me centered during this time. So, thank you to this fantastic band. And I'm still listening in 2022. It helps me remember her.
