[@sharkyclawfang7837]

Some people say that lyrics about suicide encourage those feelings. For me, it made me feel like I wasn't alone and the struggle I was going through was valid. This song honestly helped me a lot. Suicide is a huge problem that needs to be talked about. It's only a problem when shows like the one that lists 13 reasons why suicide is a good idea capitalize off of glorifying the act for drama. To whoever's reading this, you're not alone, people care about you and there is a light at the end of the tunnel; depression is just a cloth over your eyes that keeps you from seeing it.

[@berrygyrl4134]

Friend i could not agree more!!

[@SunDiegoRockStar]

Exactly, people that say that probably aren't depressed.Fight fire with fire, a sad song is a great way for the artist to vent or help others and for the audience to relate.

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

That's the problem! Avoid stuff! My father beat me, suicide looked good. I supported him to the age of 38! What a weak geek! He said he would kill my mother an sister if I left! He died 17 years ago! Terrible thing it is that u are glad your fathers dead! But I have been free for the past 17 years! My point is don't give up! That's why I am still alive!

[@mindfullofficial2525]

When he sang "I had nothing to write about" I knew I wasn't alone. Someone else understands what it's like having everything on your mind but nothing to say. Please pull through. Maybe you don't believe this but I want you to know Jesus loves you. You're not alone and I hope everything turns out good for you.

FACTS

[@pjweb3n]

"I am afraid that all the blood escaping me won't end the pain and I'll be haunting all the lives that care for me" is basically what keeps me around.

[@Lovejoyrat2]

Same.

[@donaldhitman6724]

In the old days we were taught to cope with trauma and knew life wasn't fair. I believe it's the idea that bad wasn't ment to happen and is only bad. Some things nobody should experience but the rest are how we become our best selves. If I'd been born these days I'd have green hair and cut my thing off for sure cause I pushed the limits back than but in time I learned to handle things and to not ever expect anyone to care more about me than me. Hope you feel better cause feelings can't be controlled really. Those without are so lucky but also the problem the rest of us struggle with. Your worthy and someone's favorite person no matter who you are.

I lost my beautiful teenage son to suicide. I was driving to the cemetery this morning to visit him, something I do a few times a day, when this song came on the radio. I have never heard this song before, but it hit home with me... I didn't get a letter, all I got was unanswered questions, a broken heart, and a shattered life that will never be the same. I will never heal or understand why this happened. I had no hints, I had no clue. I woke up to find that my son had decided he was ready for his next life. A day I will never forget... If anybody ever needs to reach out, do it. You do matter to several people. Please reach out!

Imagining there is a next life with different possibilities is what kept me from ending it. Takes the pressure off of yourself, because so many believe they only have one shot at being happy. I guess the imagined idea of there being other worlds just keeps my mind in wonder more than angst. Of course, others will have different reasons to live, but mine is just weird, and I can accept that.

This song has really hit home for me. My husband and I lost or daughter to suicide 7 months ago. Everyday I sit and think about my baby girl. I think about the last month of her life. What did I miss? Was she trying to tell me something and I just didn't listen. Did something happen and I didn't pay attention. Did I not talk to her enough...hug her enough? Laugh with her enough? Question get aboutwhat was happening I her life enough? Show her I care enough...love her enough?!!! I go crazy thinking about what I did to make her want to leave. She said good night and I love you too...went up to bed and was gone the next morning. No note no words of the pain my baby was obviously feeling. This song is the closest thing to What I imagine my daughter was feeling. It acc scares the shit out of me to think about how many kids and adults feel like they have no hope. That ending that beautiful life is the only way to make the pain go away. Most mornings I can barely get out of bed. I have no more tears left. My husband children and I hurt so bad and miss Krystine so much but we go on. For her and each other. I know I'm going on when everyone is just trying to listen to a song. Most won't careabout my story but I beg that if one person is reading this and thinking about taking their life just know that it does get better and there are people who love and care for you and can't imagine life without you in it. You can get help even if you have to scream at the top of your lungs to get someoneto listen. I'm a mother who lost her child. I would trade my life for hers in a second but I can't. I'm left here with the pain and questions. Please don't leave your mom or dad or family with that pain. Ask for help.

[@camhoward5147]

I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. Having been to the point of self-harm myself when I was much younger, ive only come to realize that suicide is the most devastating way to lose someone.

Songs like these are proof that EVERYONE struggles, gets depressed, etc. Depression isn't picky, it'll catch anyone it can.

But who really cares about the "possibility" of getting better when you can just have eternal peace? Life is suffering. Birth is a gateway to torture. Yeah, we've all heard about the suicide is a permanent solution yada yada platitude, but no - life is a permanent problem, in at least as far as it can be permanent. Permanent problems would require permanent solutions. Medication, therapy, food, drugs, games, etc -those are pretty temporary, if they work at all. The last thing I want to see is another damn medical health professional and all their bullshit. Or another of those callous-ass hotlines flung out as quickly as pills.

And this song still resonates with me now, after surviving and pulling myself out of that hole, but in a different way.

I'm so glad these guys are just so unapologetically raw with their music. If anything I think this is the perfect "suicide song" for lack of a better term because it's so rare to come across a song that tackles the subject of suicide this well. It gives such a hauntingly accurate depiction of the thoughts you have going through this shit I'm sure anyone who's been in this position can agree, but at the same time it really exemplifies just how pointless suicide is and in my opinion it's almost acts as a warning to those who know people living with depression etc that this is the shit that goes through your head everyday at a million miles a second.

[@kellyball4051]

Yeah, they are great with their music! For me, this song is a reminder of what is lost through successful suicide...Seether has a great one as well...very accurate indeed! Is it pointless though? I mean, it DOES provide the outcome that is desired...yes, there are other side effects...such as being dead, but for someone who can not cope with their life, it's not at all pointless...it has a point, it's just fruitless...nothing good comes of it here, on this plane of existence...and who knows what repercussions there may be beyond our awareness. I want to clarify that his situation is not depression so much as guilt --he killed his girlfriend...his suicidal thoughts are not unwarranted--I mean to say that he has a clear REASON to feel this way about himself and his life...but he has no help to cope with the situation and his feelings and such. We must never ignore, or downplay any person's reasons for wanting to kill themselves! Even if they are irrational, those reasons hold the solutions to the problems leading them towards suicide. We have to LISTEN to the suicidal person--we MUST stop trying to help them, and just listen for the solutions to come!

[@SovereignOneGaming]

I think it's so refreshing to have a sonf about suicide that doesn't use cutesie words and metaphors for suicide. This song spells it out straight up. It seems from personal experience, that when you are depressed for a great deal of time (more often than not), people, even those closest to you will become desensitized to it and eventually, as the song says, "no one even looked up." My family barely cares, if at all anymore because they've seen me so depressed for so long (including hospitalizations and plenty of scars on my wrists and marks on my face) that it has become normal for them. They've no idea the level of seriousness of how I feel right now. Maybe if anyone gave a shit they would take notice? Suicidal ideation is beyond difficult. Most people think it's a "cry for help" and all this other bullshit, but there are people in such deep pain out there...it overrides their natural instinct for self-precervation...Keeping yourself alive is one of the strongest instincts we have...can you imagine the pain someone must be feeling to be able to ignore that genetic imperative? I am so sorry to all of you that go through this because I do too. You are CARED ABOUT, at least by this stranger. Love to you all. You're better than you think...

[@iSoldat]

With all of the scars on your arms, it's certain that self-preservation did prevail. We've all been through horrible pain, you are not the first and you won't be the last. It may feel like no one knows, but there are a lot out there who have been through much worse and not only survived but thrived. The pain you feel will only be amplified by those who still care if you succeed. They can't help you until you are willing to help yourself. Pick yourself up and ask for help.

its such an incredible song and i wish i was strong enough to listen to it more often, but sadly it destroys me every single time. just listened to it again for the first time in a year or two and i hope ill be able to listen to it more often now

This is maybe one of three songs in my entire life that's brought me to tears. The entire message has been a state of being and emotion I've been contending with for so many years and ever since the first listen, it's remained one of the most powerful songs I've experienced at a time in my life where I needed it. I'm still here because I don't want to hurt the ones I love. The ones I know who'd be just as hurt if not, more than the pain I'd try to leave behind in this world that feels so overwhelming. I don't feel like I'm living for myself yet. And that's alright. Maybe in the future, that'll change if I stick around.

This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎸🤘

For some.. this is a reminder, as we all deal our pains an pass, it reminds us to keep our selfs goin... because we must heal, even of we have to keep our pains forever...

I love when random songs come on by bands that I've never heard of and I end up discovering a new band that I like. KZbin has been doing that a lot for me lately and it just did it again.

[@imogen31499]

danman6669 I just heard this in my Uber car. It sounded like 2000’s pop rock but the lyrics instantly told me to listen.

For all the people who might not understand the video. The Lyrics and the video story don't really match. The video is called Ghost because the woman he was going to marry dies in a car accident and her ghost comes back and shuts the car off, saving him. Note, at the very very end the wedding ring that he put on her finger is now on the key chain and the engine is off. It took me many many views to finally understand this great emotional video.

The amount of loves this has saved, or pain eased, should honestly put this up there with the likes of American pie as classic

I listen to this song every morning when I wake up to remind myself that suicide isn’t the right choice. The fact that y’all made a song that is so fucking relatable is insane to me. Thank you for saving a life.

This is by far the best song for what is going through someone's head after a failed a suicide attempt. (Mine was the safety was still on) Even years later, and not being suicidal anymore. The feels are too fucking real.

Tried it myself with 2 different guns. Right gun trigger pull to head (click). Point to ground, pull, boom. Left gun to head, pull, click. Left gun to ground, pull, boom. Never once did I rack either. Happened 3-4x each gun. I’m here to stand for my family and help others who suffer inside like I do. Individually weak, but together strong.
