Therapist Analyzes Papa Roach - Last Resort

Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Last Resort by Papa Roach to help individuals understand the mindset of suicidal people as well as encourage those with suicidal thoughts to take one last try toward healing by reaching out for support. Suicidal thoughts tell us that there are no other options for us, but the truth is if you reach out you might find new possibilities.

[@heldrin4968]

this is soo true Taylor about the last cry for help. I was in this situation 5 years ago after my divorce. I was so close to doing it and I said to a co-worker "I don't care I won't be here monday" Thankfully he took it seriously and called my boss right away. It was a sunday. She drove to meet me at work from her home. She started talking to me , taking my feelings seriously. I told her that my daughter would be better off without me and shocked me by telling me that her dad commited suicide when she was little and that she wasn't better off. That shook me and I got some help at that very moment. I am very thankful to her.

[@Dino-god69]

Thank you for staying. Praying for you man. I miss my brother deeply. Same situation. Ive never been the same since. Much love

[@jeffstevens4262]

Wow. What an incredible story. It just proves that when people actually talk to each other about issues such as this, that wonderful things can happen. I've heard a few stories down the years of people taking their lives completely unexpectedly, people with lovely families amid affluent surroundings...no apparent logic. Whatever we're going through, we just need to TALK to someone and share our innermost feelings of fear, loneliness or paranoia. Please, just TALK.

[@Atlas_UK]

The Falling in Reverse cover of this, literally broke me, I bawled. I deal with suicidal Ideology, it's been a none stop battle for the last 9 years and Ronny nailed it with a more adult feeling, Papa Roach made this in my adolescence and the meaning really didn't impact me back then, now.. it's very very real.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @Atlas_UK Yeah, it's interesting how we can re-discover a music years later as it just resonates differently with our heart. I like to think that we somehow "meet" the right music at significant times - and when the timing is appropriate there is a real magic happening. The experience you have with Papa Roach, of now feeling like it's somehow like holding a mirror to you, is one that I'm sure many of us can relate to here. And somehow there may be comfort to find in at least knowing that we are not alone in our struggles, even when it feels like we're prisoners of our own mind and that no one can see it. For what it's worth from a stranger like me, I see you, I hear you right now, and I understand through my own struggles suicidal ideation the heaviness of the burdens you've been carrying. I started to struggle with suicidal thoughts when I was a kid, but to me it is something that comes and go usually. When it's gone though it's not really away. It's simply more muted. It feels like having this dark shadow following you everywhere you go and like you just can't get rid of it. I hate that it manifests as this inner voice that invites me to give up on everything - to give up on hope - whether I am having a good or a bad time. It doesn't discriminate between what's good or not. It's just constantly and continuously there, while it doesn't feel like you can just push it away or ignore it either. It's like being stuck in the same room with someone trying to influence you to move towards a different direction while you know it is no good. It takes so much energy to compose with it daily, to keep finding your way through this life while there's a song on repeat inside of your mind telling you to end it all. Nine years of struggling with this must have been such a hard and intense battle for you. I can't begin to imagine the amount of tears and dark days you had to go through. It is so hard to feel like your own mind is a trap you're stuck in, and that what's inside of it keeps bringing you down more and more. It's even more difficult that it'shard to express it, to actually put words on it and find someone that would be able to hear you out. Suicidal ideation is a lonely burden to carry, and for all these reasons I'm so thankful you chose to speak about it today, because you certainly don't deserve to stay alone with it. Not years ago, not today, not ever. If there is one certainty in the midst of this, it is that you are never wrong for opening up, for talking about it, for reaching out or even asking for help. There are burdens that need to be spoken so they can appear less intimidating, eventually less heavy. And there are people out there willing to carry the burdens with us - who understand what it's like, who get it because they've been there too, and who can bring inspiration as they speak from the other side of this obstacle - from where breathing feels much lighter and is not in contradiction with being alive. To these thoughts that try to take the best of you, I want to say to them that you matter very much, and you didn't come so far to let them have the last word. That you know and understand them, that you see through them and have so much strength within than they could ever imagine. And I want to say to you that you belong in this world, even during moments when you feel like you don't. You will get through this, friend. And through it, you can be sure that you have allies here willing to walk alongside you. You're not alone. Sending much hugs and thoughts your way. -Micro

@@HeartSupport Thank you for the kind message Micro, The battle continues, but I know the consequences would result in not my own demise, but another's too, my mother's heart would give out for sure given her poor health, and it would take her too, taking my own life is one thing but my moms too, I couldn't forgive myself for that, So I fight on.

[@lonestar3433]

Therapist, I'm sorry about the friend you lost. You're an inspiration to many lost souls who listen to you. God bless you for the good work you do.

[@DrewHollenback]

Had a feeling youd get around to this one lol Papa Roach is my favorite band, so heres the story behind last resort Jacoby, the singer, wrote it about a childhood friend of his, named Mark Parham. Jacoby and Mark had a rough upbringing, both used drugs + alcohol quite heavily Eventually the drugs sent Mark into depressive spiral, eventually leading to him attempting suicide. Mark went to treatment, got sober, came back, and jacoby felt like he couldn’t relate to who mark had become bc jacoby was still very much in that world of addiction The song is about Marks downward spiral through the eyes of jacoby, who felt responsible for the whole thing because he was the one who introduced drugs to the situation Years later jacoby eventually had his own issues with depression and suicidal tendencies, as such he says the song took on a new meaning for him at that time Today Mark and Jacoby are both alive and well, got sober, and have families

[@yvmqznrmx3971]

[@revsus88888888]

I am suicidal, i have tried to take my own life three times, the first time i got help put on me, that made me realise i needed the help, although it took a long time for me to realise it, but i realised it finally. The thoughts of myself and the way i went through my days at the worst pain, to be honest if people knew and could actually be put into my shoes to see and feel the way i feel as a non suicidal person, they would most likely never even vocal the words that suicidal people are selfish and it is a selfish act. The last time of my suicidal attempt i stood on a bridge in the early morning above a traintrack, if falling from the bridge didn’t do it, the train would definitively do it and send the peace of mind finally to me to get rid of the bullying horrible demonic thoughts that every waking hour haunted me……but my fear of doing it got the better of me, although i blamed myself for that too, that i was such a weak person who couldn’t even do this, i am happy that fear took over once again. For anyone who is suicidal and feel that you are in the darkness wandering alone, remember that you are loved, cherished and appreciated for you, you are amazing and i am sending you lots of love ❤️ and hugs 🤗. You are not alone, you got me, reach out your hand and i will meet it halfway 😊.

40 now but jammed this so hard in my angsty teens! Lyrics have always been the words and feeling i relate to and couldnt put into my own words! Love the idea of working with folks using the love of music and lyrics!

[@polishdrew8060]

Here is my papa roach saved my life. I was 18 when this album came out, was depressed and suicidal, just weird thoughts didn't think my life was worth it. None of my friendsor familyknew what was goingon in my head. I instantly gravitated to this album, they came on tour to my town. Mr and my friends always met bands after concerts, so we find their tour bus and hang out with them. I pulled Jacoby aside and explained to him that his music had helped me rethink certain things. After I told him this he grab the back of my head and pushed our foreheads together and told me to always look to the light, and never give up. Gave me a big hug and thanked me for telling him, autographed my cd. My friends were flabbergasted they thought I had a perfect life, because I was quiet and kept to myself, but internally I was a mess. I have obviously gotten through that awkward point and moved on, still love heavy metal and hard rock. Papa roach especially that album will always be in my heart.

[@JesseBooth01]

The fact that you describe it as a fight, You're literally in a battle with yourself, and its relentless. Having someone, anyone, to listen and make you feel not alone, make you feel like SOMEONE actually cares if you live or die, is sometimes all you need to push back against the darkness.

sometimes its just because we have reached the limit and want an end of the pain..... i reached out and a friend found me moments from the end and got me to a hospital so good for you for trying to help

[@reaper4earthcod801]

My counselor says "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" I have had many low points in my life, I would be ready to end my life, and every time I backed out at the last minute in fear of dying and fear of it being painful. My most recent one, was only 2 years ago. I grabbed my gun, I knew exactly how I was going to hold it, pin it up to the wall with my weight as to not give it any room to flinch when I pulled the trigger. I knew exactly where I was going to shoot in order to make it quick and painless. When I went to chamber a round, my gun was empty. As it turned out, my wife had noticed my mental health declining for months, and she grew worried, and a week before she had hidden my loaded magazine. Her and I may be divorcing, we may have had some serious problems, and she may have said things to me out of anger that were so aweful that I don't care to repeat it. But, despite everything, she cared enough to remove a hazard from my path, and she actually saved my life because of it. She walked in on me when I was getting ready to do it, and I yelled at her asking where my ammo was, she simply told me she hid it last week. To this day, I don't think she fully comprehends that she saved my life

[@michaelbray6499]

This channel is a refreshing take on some of the feelings our hearts and minds go through. For me it feels like I’m playing hide and seek with the black dog. I think like I’ve found a solid hiding space for a bit of a reprieve. Sometimes for a day, sometimes for years but then the bastard turns up and bites me on the ass. Wish somebody would tell me I’m fine hit hard all those years ago and it still packs a punch. It’s an amazing gift to be able to support someone who has mental turmoil and I really enjoy being others voice of reason and believing in the good in all but fuck me it’s tough when looking for a little reciprocation. Big love. Love the channel and the energy ❤

[@reaper4earthcod801]

I don't know you, but it makes me truly happy to read that you're still here. And I agree, I love her music reaction/break down videos because her energy while listening to it is intoxicating, and then when she breaks down the lyrics to give her thoughts on what it means is so very entertaining and helpful. I listen to all genres of music, but rock and metal are my go to. People tend to think those of us who listen to metal and what not are angry and violent individuals, when in reality, we are actually pretty upbeat people. I think because since we listen to extremely energetic songs that are able to put into words many of our thoughts, feelings and emotions that otherwise we wouldn't be able to express ourselves, it's a form of letting go those bottled up emotions

The thought of doing it crossed my mind today, but I can never go through with it because I don't just think about myself. I consider how it will impact the people around me who love me.

If you're one of those people hurting inside, know that you're not alone and that everything is going to be fine. You'll be alright. Fight the battle and never give up. I hope this helps someone going through hard times. Remember, God is with you, and He loves you.

Sometimes just a quick thought, other times it's a constant presence for days. Two things help me not act on those impulses. 1: my counselor has said to me " suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". I stated this as a response in someone else's comment as well. 2: I try and focus on the one thing in this world that is more important to me then anything, even more important than my life and my darkness.

I wish I could find someone like you to talk to. I love your insights and you seem easy to talk to. I just had my 24 year anniversary of being a quadriplegic and in a wheelchair from a car accident which i was passenger. I have yet to really talk to anyone about it seriously.

[@HeartSupport]

From toastaintbad: @damunchman3120 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, I recommend to talk with someone to express your emotion to others like a mental health professional. That must have been traumatic for you after that car accident. I also will be scared and traumatized too. I'm here to support you and you can always talked to me on HeartSupport platform. I loved to help others too.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @damunchman3120 Oh my friend. I'm really sorry that you have experienced such a tragic accident. I can only imagine how traumatic and life-changing this event has been for you and in your life. Not only the brutality of the accident itself and being confronted to the fragility of your own life, of the life of others. But then to also have to re-learn to live in a complete different way. It's hard to talk about those things, especially when the grief you've been carrying since then keeps weighing heavy on you. Words can be a relief but they are hard to use, especially when you need to find the right person to express them to. For what it's worth, I'm so very proud of you for your willingness to talk about it and share this part of your story with someone. I carry myself taumas I'm still not ready to talk about even though I know I should. There's something about knowing and feeling when the time is right for you, and I hope you don't carry any regret with you regarding the fact that it's been 24 years already. If this had to be your own timeline before getting to the point of feeling like you want to talk about it with someone seriously, then so be it. You have, without a doubt, done your best to survive, cope, navigate through all the deep emotions and hurt that this accident has created in your life - and you can be proud of yourself for not letting it take the best of you. If you would like to share more, please know you are welcome to do so here too. It's different of course and not "live" with someone, but heartsupport is a safe community with people who care about one another. We try to make these spaces as safe as possible especially for everyone to have the possibility to share their story just as they need. You are safe and you belong. Always. :heart:

MUST listen to Falling In Reverse covering it! You will be mind blown !!!!!!!

[@reaper4earthcod801]

So I've suffered from depression since i was 5 years old. I know that sounds odd, and even then i didn't know or understand it until i got older. My mother passed away suddenly when i was 5, then my father passed when I was 15. I'm 29 now, I had attempted suicide a handful of times throughout my life. I now see a counselor regularly, and I take medication for my depression and anxiety. Honestly, I don't think i would be here today if it wasn't for a several people who are incredibly important to me. Two friends of mine, they may not have known the proper words to say, but that was fine, because knowing they were there for me spoke so much louder than words possibly could. My oldest brother, he is always willing to listen and help me understand and talk through what i may be going through or feeling. After our father passed, he was in a low place and almost ended his life after drinking to much, my oldest sister is the one who found him in that state, and got him the help he needed. It's comforting knowing I can turn to my brother when I'm in a low place, since he has been there before, and still came out the other side. When I told him I was going to counseling and was prescribed antidepressants and found a medicine that helped, he said something that he has never said to me before, he told me he was proud of me. And most importantly, my daughter. Because of her, i have completely changed as a person, and she is my reason to stay in this world, she is truly my guiding light when I'm at my darkest place in my head the proper words to say, but that was okay, because knowing they were there for me spoke so much louder than words possibly could. And most importantly, my daughter. Because of her, i have completely changed as a person, and she is my reason to stay in this world, she is truly my guiding light when I'm at my darkest place in my head. I have had friends and coworkers who suddenly ended their lives, and I just can't help but think "how did I miss the signs when I suffer from those demons too? I hide it with humor and always being happy and friendly, and it just hurts knowing that they had done the same thing and I didn't see it. What could I have done to possibly help them? What can I do in the future for someone who may be at the lowest point in their life?" There are many things that keep me up at night, and this is the most recurring one

[@petodigiorgio51]

Look girl there's a reason I assume & or I'd bet that you are successful at what you do because that passion definitely comes across as true sincerity to those seeking words that may help them figure the way out of whatever storm ones in!

Interesting explanation on how you define the two meanings of "The Last Resort." To take that a little further, I think that the one fighting and striving to stay alive might equate to a primal or subconscious process that is inherent in every living thing on Earth, human or not; the will to survive. It's the bad mental side versus the biological side.

You need to do a review of Papa Roach's "Leave A Light On", and Disturbed's "A Reason To Fight" which makes me cry every time I hear it cause it really hits home. Both are huge supporters of mental health reform and suicide prevention. David Draiman (Disturbed) stops the show at some concerts and talks about it. He has people up on the stage who are suffering from thoughts of suicide and need to be lifted up and understood and then plays this song.

@heartsupport Just found your page and enjoyed your video. I was in tears. I’m definitely in a terrible headspace and looking into therapy very late into my suffering and man is it difficult to get support. Now suffering terribly due to my mental health, depression, anxiety and yes the main topic of this Papa Roach song. Don’t even want to type it, refuse. As a long time music fan who just enjoyed music I found it terrible disturbing to relate to these kind of songs. I hate relating to it but they are gifts. I don’t want to relate to this kind of music regarding mental illness. That being said two songs I unfortunately relate to are by a favorite band called @iamx. I think it would be amazing to see you do a commentary video about the songs “Quiet the Mind” and “Insomnia.” Iamx’s singer has opened up about his struggles and tries to support their fans. I think you both could do amazing work together or just hearing your words about the music would be nice. I’m still working on getting an appointment with a therapist. Will look into your resources. Thank you!

(Not in a creepy wired way.) but in a fellow human being, relatable and it just doesn’t feel like such a lonely way.) no one really gets music most of the time. They just like the melodies. Thank you

When I took electric guitar lessons as a teenager my guitar teacher Jack wanted me to learn this song.

[@riztol1060]

Try being "unemployable" for 10 years... I thought of topping myself. Now i manage my own store. Theres always light at the end

[@DPRyan-vd5pp]

This album is one of those rare albums that you can play from first to last song without skipping!! Another no skip album is the Rancid….and out come the wolves album!

[@Musulmi]

Love your analysis, i would like u listen to Youth of the Nation from POD, and The kids aren't alright, from The Offspring. Those songs always hit me hard.

[@YukiAshinaKiller]

If no one has mentioned this if im not mistaken he wrote this song because of one of his close friends who had attempted suicide and later when he hit his lowest this song also helped him.

[@ericgaudet5488]

Great job with your analysis and reaction to the song Last Resort from Papa Roach if you enjoy this song you might want to check out We Are The Youth of A Nation from P.O.D.

[@pascaldesnoeck8671]

therapists always say we know what you feel realy you don't, after my deadly motorcycle accident all i hear is we feel the pain the struggle to survive i don't think so. i'm sick of it

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @pascaldesnoeck8671 The frustration you've been feeling and what you describe makes so much sense. Keep ontrying, my friend. You deserve to feel supported after this traumatic accident. www.loom.com/share/ab4ec6d7d159426d9822747566d92721

And I'm back to my teens for a moment.

[@GuuhSilva1995]

Please, PLEASE, tell me you gonna post Ronnie's version of this song! As someone who loves both bands and hear this kind of music ever since I was in my late childhood, I say that both resonates with the time that passed, iykwim. The pain transformed into rage and hate as a teenager and then you actually allowing yourself to feel, to sorrow, to cry and whatnot, y'know

[@chriskindstedt2298]

Would love to hear your reaction to Papa Roach’s latest song Leave The Light On. A great song of hope for those struggling.

As a person who has suicidal ideation pretty much every day, to keep going is a choice. I've not lived for myself my whole life, up until 2020. Always trying to appease someone or fit into a mold of someone else's idea of an ideal person. A close friend took his life in 2020 and it still haunts me today. Which is why I wouldn't do it. I know the pain, and would never want anyone else to feel it. But, it's still there. I'm working on putting the intrusive thoughts into a song, at the moment. It might help put things into perspective for those who don't deal with them. Hopefully my pain can help someone else.

[@HeartSupport]

From Lisalovesfeathers: @musickf Friend I cannot imagine the moment this happened to you, the pain of losing a brother would be hard enough, the shock of losing him overnight unexpectedly is horrifying and the fear of knowing how it happened and the guilt of feeling it was your fault completely explains why you feel so eaten up. I am so incredibly sorry for loss of your brother; I have a brother myself and cannot imagine losing him. I am also desperately sorry for the whole situation that you found yourself in, what a tragic thing to happen to both of you, I say that because its sounds like both of your lives seemed to have ended that day which of course was not meant to be. When someone we love passes, we always can find a reason to feel guilt, it appears to be inbuilt, we all have this ability to find a reason to punish ourselves for so many different things, a couple of them being **Regret Over Past Actions**: People might feel guilty about things they did or didn't do when the person was alive. This can include unresolved conflicts, unfulfilled promises, or missed opportunities to express love and appreciation. **Perceived Responsibility**: Individuals may feel they could have prevented the death or loss, even if this belief is irrational. They might replay events in their mind, thinking of what they could have done differently. As uncommon as the situation behind your brothers passing is, the reaction and grief you are feeling is understandable and perfectly normal however it is not something you should have to continue to be “eaten away” by for years to come, you don’t deserve that because you have not done anything wrong, and I am beyond certain that your brother would not want that either. As hard as it is, what happened albeit because of drugs, what happened was a tragic accident that could have happened at any time. You may have been there, you may have acquired the drugs, but you did not make anyone take them, that friend was only one person’s choice that night. Having said that, that does not take away the pain of loss, that desperate feeling of wanting so badly to see them one last time, grief counselling can help though, it doesn’t stop you grieving but it can help you to manage it so you can continue to live and hopefully not feel guilty doing so. I don’t know what your thoughts are, I am not a religious person but I do like to think that our past loved ones are still nearby and that your brother is desperately trying to let you know that you can let go of that guilt and that he loves you and knows that none of this was because of you and that he wants you to move forward and make the most of the life you have left, live for both of you. I am thankful the music and video brought you to heartsupport and I hope it continues to be helpful and at least some of my words may have helped. I wish you well friend. Much Love Lisa. X

[@benbattersby9239]

one that is incredibly heavy but also allows great discussion is Su$cide from Ren. its done in 2 parts where first is from a the persons perspective and the 2nd is from someone left behind and it really is an eye opener.

[@aronbresztyak7517]

I stumbled upon your videos two days ago, and I really like these reactions to metal songs, it made me think about changing stuff in my life... so a big Thank You! from here. I would really like if you would react to some Pantera. They are my favorite band, and the pioneers of groove metal which is commonly about personal struggles. Some songs from Pantera (that I can somewhat relate to): Cemetery Gates, I'm Broken, The Sleep, Revolution is my name. Edit: I would definitely watch a Linkin Park or a TOOL reaction too

[@strikethatreverseit9108]

My friend took her own life as a Master's Degree holder in Counseling with her own practice. She also had young children. It's so hard.😢

[@HeartSupport]

From toastaintbad: @strikethatreverseit9108 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. You did the best you can to support her. Your friend seemed like a wonderful person to help others struggling with mental health issues. It's super important for others to take care their mental health before others. Work can overtake our lifestyle that makes us stressed out.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @strikethatreverseit9108 My heart goes out to you, friend. It's so hard to lose someone you love to suicide. You can't be prepared for it, for the shock it creates and the brutal reality if forces you to face. Sometimes we think that people around us have it all together and are doing okay, while internally they feel like burning, the feel lost, as if life becomes absolutely excruciating and nothing else. It's hard when you are the person who stays and feel the powerlessness it creates in you. You ask yourself if things could have been different, maybe prevented, you wonder if there are signs you didn't see - it's pure torture to the soul. Then thinking of all the opportunities lost, the time that isn't going to be spent with them anymore, the family they leaft behind them. It's devastating. I'm so sorry you've been knowing such loss and grief, my friend. In the midst of it, if you feel any sense of guilt, then I truly hope you can anchor yourself in the truth that it wasn't anyone's fault. I have been myself on the two sides of this situation, and suicidal thoughts usually leads one to not see anything or anyone beyond their pain. We can know rationally that we are loved and have support in our life, but the very act of reaching out feels overwhelming, if not shameful. There is no doubt that you were a good friend to them and offered them the possibility to build good memories in their life. That you were a caring presence and they knew it deep inside. Sending so much hugs your way. :heart:

[@reaper4earthcod801]

I would love to see you do a breakdown video of Popular Monster and Voice's in my Head by Falling in Reverse

Eu ainda estou aqui! Só me lembro de uma frase do filme náufrago: continue respirando nunca se sabe o que a maré poderá trazer.

[@Swank2387]

He is right about it being selfish to commit suicide. Because it brings all this pain onto the people in your life. When your the one having these thoughts and struggling you look out and see and all you see is the ones you love hurt because that’s what you mind makes you see. So to keep from hurting them if you are no longer around they won’t hurt because you believe you’re the one hurting them. I have been in this position more times in my life than I want to admit and honestly if not for my kids I would have done it but I know I have to be there for them to protect them. I also have had to watch my teen go through this and had to take him to the hospital and he was committed for a week and it broke my heart cause I know how hard life is and scary these thoughts are.

[@jarrodlespreance8518]

Badflower-Ghost the music video version for analysis, the 'unplugged' for listening

[@quintonwalls6174]

My brother took his life in 2007. None of us who knew him best had a clue. He called me on a Tuesday and we planned a trip together. Saturday morning he shot himself. The part about not being left alone doesn't always work. In 1995 my friend who was more like a brother. We had been best friends since second grade. He called me and said he was having some thoughts. I went to his house and hung out with him. He told me he was going to the bathroom and when he came back he had his dad's .44. I told him he didn't need that. He said ain't it pretty and before I could get to him he put it against his head and pulled the trigger. I was there with him, he was looking at me. I have PTSD from several things in my life. This is one of them that I can still smell everything.

[@HeartSupport]

From Micro: @quintonwalls6174 I can't even begin to imagine the pain you're going through. Losing your brother to suicide, and having to witness it firsthand, simply goes beyond words. It is completely understandable that, even now, there are sensations that come back to you from that day and would make you feel like you're still there. This very moment has shifted your entire world. The flashbacks, the triggers, the constant state of being on edge, like your mind and body are stuck in that horrific moment, unable to move forward... it's like being trapped in a living nightmare that you can’t wake up from, a scene that’s burned into your memory. The world moves on, but for you, it feels like time has stopped at that moment. It is so hard to carry this weight with you everyday, and I'm so very thankful that you've opened up about it here. Even if it's just about connecting with one another here, even just for the possibility of letting you know that someone out there hears your pain and is sitting right next to you in this virtual space. For there is, truly, no right or wrong way to process the reality of what happened. You are seen and your pain is felt. You are not alone my friend, and it's absolutely understandable to feel the way you do. Sending so many hugs your way. :heart:

[@Dementat]

I can't describe my anger at the "radio edit" of this song. It's a rallying cry to those who are at thier last resort, it tells them they are not alone that someone understands. How DARE some radio censor or pearl clutching republican try to hide that from those who need it

[@dezpretty]

You really need to go down the rabbit hole with papa roach. Id suggest scars be the next one for sure

[@todneal]

You've got to do the new Nothing More song If It Doesn't Hurt

[@tmbrwlf3295]

You have to dig into Wage War. A few of my favorite tracks, Stitch, Don't Let Me Fade Away, High Horse among many more.

[@chinook1501]

DO the song Fire Away by Chris Stapleton, perfect for this channel

[@kaceylinne344]

keep up the amazing work. more papa roach is definitely needed - infest, between angels and insects, broken home, dead cell, blood brothers, born with nothing die with everything, getting away with murder, scars, to be loved, alive(n' out of control), forever, hollywood whore, i almost told you that i loved you, lifeline, burn, kick in the teeth, still swingin', where did the angels go, wish you never met me, give me back my life, leader of the broken hearts, face everything and rise, falling apart, gravity, crooked teeth, my medication, born for greatness, american dreams, help, none of the above, you're not the only one, who do you trust?, elevate, come around, kill the noise

[@calmacdonald2417]

You need to delve into Nightwish. Such meaning in their lyrics. To start I recommend Storytime by Nightwish ( live cut from Wacken Open Air 2013).

[@StevenResnick]

Also most songs by Citizen Soldier good to react to

Take a look at avenged sevenfold song: I won’t see you tonight (part 1)….that song really gets into the mindset…but might make you cry :-(

The video for the song inspired Demons by Imagine Dragons

[@KostasHolopain]

I had a very rough experience decades back when my first girlfriend broke up with me. I turned to the bottle for a short period of time and during one of my binges, I ended up in a very dark place- I'll spare you the details, as I don't want to challenge the community guidlines. After a few hours, a surge af anger overwhelmed me, I stood up screaming "F* this! I'll never do it- for noone!". It took me 15 years to taste alcohol again and I composed a song for the matter, which functioned as a catalyst to accept the siuation and move on. I am curious about your take on the matter.... can an emotion, usually seen as a negative one, be actually beneficial? To me, it resembles the controlled burning used to control wildfires. Succumb in a healthy way, so to speak. Honestly though, if not for the music, I don't know where I'd be right now, or if I would be at all...
