This song is such a beautiful song, it describes how being suicidal feels but not wanting to end it, its such an amazing song im so happy that i discovered this song. Everytime i listen to it, it touches my heart. Its so deep and meaningful.
I just heard this beautiful song for the first time. My 17 year old sent it to me. I listened to the words and cried. So I want to give parents with addiction problems a little tough love this morning. I'm trying to "love myself" back to health. Which is hard when you hate yourself. Getting clean is only the first step. Then you have to come to terms with the things you did or said during that addiction that hurt others. When someone experiences trauma or pain and uses drugs to escape their pain, they aren't actually escaping it. They are prolonging it. That pain will come out. But not in a healthy way. When you lose control- which is inevitable, you BLOW APART EVERYONE around you. ESPECIALLY your CHILDREN. You love your children, you would die for them, you don't want to hurt them. But you can't just stop using anymore than you can just stop breathing. That's why UNTREATED addiction is so devastating. You don't mean for this Monster to take over your life and turn you into someone unrecognizable. But it ALWAYS happens. YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR ADDICTION. YOU CAN'T SLOW IT DOWN. YOU CAN EITHER FACE IT AND CHANGE IT OR YOU CAN KEEP DESTROYING YOURSELF WHILE YOUR BABIES WATCH. Taking away their Innocence, their Joy, their Hope, their Love, and even a part of Themselves. They need you RIGHT NOW. They need you to stop making excuses and STOP. YOU CANNOT STOP WITHOUT HELP. And you can't stay Sober (HATE the word "clean") without FACING whatever it is that made you start using in the first place. So PLEASE- if you can't do it for yourself; yet, do it FOR THEM. They are hurting more than you know. More than you can IMAGINE. Because THEY think THEY are LACKING in some way! "If you loved them enough, you would stop", they think. They don't understand that it's not a short or simple process. BUT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. They are CHILDREN. It's not their job to understand YOUR pain, YOUR problems, or to fix YOU. It's YOUR job to protect THEM from YOURSELF. The part of YOURSELF that is too painful to see. The part of YOU that's hurting THEM. Those wounds run deep. Don't miss out on the greatest Joy of your life. Those years your children are growing up go by faster and faster until they're GONE. You come out of a fog and realize 10 years has passed. They don't need you anymore. They've been taking care of themselves, their siblings, and YOU for a long time. You look into their eyes and you finally SEE. UNIMAGINABLE, UNBEARABLE PAIN. YOU WANT TO ERASE IT. BUT YOU CAN'T. I am recovering, slowly. But I'm in agony every single day knowing I MISSED IT. Their CHILDHOOD. Knowing the agony they carry inside was caused by the things I did. Or the things I didn't. I love you so much, my fellow addicts. You are wonderful people, you just have to deal with your pain. Otherwise you just hand that pain over to your babies. I couldn't see it until it was too late. Good luck. And IF YOU ARE A CHILD with an ADDICTED PARENT-it is NOT YOUR FAULT. THEY CANNOT SEE HOW IT AFFECTS YOU. GO TALK TO A TRUSTED ADULT, A GRANDPARENT, A SCHOOL COUNSELOR. Anyone who can help you and your family. It is NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU ARE EXACTLY ENOUGH. YOU ARE TREMENDOUSLY LOVED, EVEN IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT. I'M SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU, AND YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS. 💖
this is the only song i have found so far that perfectly encapsulates feeling suicidal but knowing that it's not really a fair option, so as much as you feel it you're not going to do anything.
There stands a door that I was yet to consider But the locks are all melting and the colors are convincing me Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go away Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music In the valley of nothing where everyone started Before life erased you and made you not part of it Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal And then trapped in a body we beg to return to it Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors But I could labor no longer and float towards what everyone Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows But one day they will realize what I have just figured out Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless But the water gets warmer as you float away from it On my way to live the greatest Life, not have one, or I'll just stick around And see if it gets better This decision lasts forever Seeing pictures, filled with envy Trying to become who I used to be It seems so far from likely Smiling he looks nothing like me Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire And here in your arms I feel miles away from you Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke And then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in Asking me if I had heard of the surface Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe Said that there's a way to always feel the way you feel When you finally find your way to sleep And then it showed me my life How it could end, and where it started And then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it People who love me would never stop hurting From something so simple yet something so permanent Gone into the valley where everyone started Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted There in the light of the stars dancing quietly Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity Broken boy who must keep hoping Maybe one day he will figure this out Or things will heal in time This breathing ghost that never died These bits and pieces all left over From that smiling child I used to be I'm cold and terrified I know there's warmth but I can't find it
I told my friend I needed to listen to sad songs bc I'm going through a breakup rn that's causing me a lot of pain and she told me this song sounded like the definition of depression listening to it, I say I'd have to agree
sé que a nadie le importa, pero mi novio terminó conmigo, nos haciamos daño mutuamente, pero al fin entendí a qué se referían las personas cuando decían que no podrían estar separados pese a ser el veneno uno del otro, y que a la vez la medicina, sin el estoy perdida, con él, igual estaría perdida, pero no sola
A veces es necesario dejar ir para que otras cosas mejores puedan llegar, aunque siempre conserves el amor. Es mejor intentar quedarte con lo bueno, y continuar con tu vida aunque sea doloroso
This song is such a beautiful song, it describes how being suicidal feels but not wanting to end it, its such an amazing song im so happy that i discovered this song. Everytime i listen to it, it touches my heart. Its so deep and meaningful.

When someone experiences trauma or pain and uses drugs to escape their pain, they aren't actually escaping it. They are prolonging it. That pain will come out. But not in a healthy way.
When you lose control- which is inevitable, you BLOW APART EVERYONE around you.
ESPECIALLY your CHILDREN.
You love your children, you would die for them, you don't want to hurt them.
But you can't just stop using anymore than you can just stop breathing. That's why UNTREATED addiction is so devastating. You don't mean for this Monster to take over your life and turn you into someone unrecognizable.
But it ALWAYS happens.
YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR ADDICTION.
YOU CAN'T SLOW IT DOWN.
YOU CAN EITHER FACE IT AND CHANGE IT OR YOU CAN KEEP DESTROYING YOURSELF WHILE YOUR BABIES WATCH.
Taking away their Innocence, their Joy, their Hope, their Love, and even a part of Themselves.
They need you RIGHT NOW.
They need you to stop making excuses and STOP. YOU CANNOT STOP WITHOUT HELP. And you can't stay Sober (HATE the word "clean") without FACING whatever it is that made you start using in the first place.

UNIMAGINABLE, UNBEARABLE
PAIN. YOU WANT TO ERASE IT. BUT YOU CAN'T.

I wish my mom could see this
this is the only song i have found so far that perfectly encapsulates feeling suicidal but knowing that it's not really a fair option, so as much as you feel it you're not going to do anything.
There stands a door that I was yet to consider
But the locks are all melting and the colors are convincing me
Words on the gate reading I'll make this all go away
Just walk through me to the silence, that's the music
In the valley of nothing where everyone started
Before life erased you and made you not part of it
Broke off a piece of what was silent, but eternal
And then trapped in a body we beg to return to it
Placed in the depths of an ocean, forgetting
How we belong at the surface but everyone's swimming
Towards lights at the bottom reflecting on mirrors
But I could labor no longer and float towards what everyone
Fears the eternal that's found in the shallows
But one day they will realize what I have just figured out
Here, at the bottom, it's cold and it's sort of merciless
But the water gets warmer as you float away from it
On my way to live the greatest
Life, not have one, or I'll just stick around
And see if it gets better
This decision lasts forever
Seeing pictures, filled with envy
Trying to become who I used to be
It seems so far from likely
Smiling he looks nothing like me
Levers and pulleys and spindles of wire
My limbs are all frozen and my lungs are on fire
And here in your arms I feel miles away from you
Know how it's strange, but I mean all that I'm saying, oh
Levers, and pulleys, and spindles of rope
In that perfect machine that I used to be, something broke
And then a thought so unnatural that it felt like perfection
Came and knocked on my door, and in time I just let it in
Asking me if I had heard of the surface
Where nothing goes wrong, and where no one can ever hurt you
And taking my hand it allowed me to breathe
Said that there's a way to always feel the way you feel
When you finally find your way to sleep
And then it showed me my life
How it could end, and where it started
And then it showed me the world but said I'm not a part of it
But the lonely and the hurting have a place, no one's seen it
But once I have shown you, you can't ever leave it
No matter these thoughts, and these words, so inviting
I can't say goodbye just quite yet I'll keep fighting it
People who love me would never stop hurting
From something so simple yet something so permanent
Gone into the valley where everyone started
Where smiles are worn by the hopeless and the brokenhearted
There in the light of the stars dancing quietly
Spirits at home in the warmth of eternity
Broken boy who must keep hoping
Maybe one day he will figure this out
Or things will heal in time
This breathing ghost that never died
These bits and pieces all left over
From that smiling child I used to be
I'm cold and terrified
I know there's warmth but I can't find it
its crazy how someone elses words can feel like they were pulled straight from your own brain
I told my friend I needed to listen to sad songs bc I'm going through a breakup rn that's causing me a lot of pain and she told me this song sounded like the definition of depression
listening to it, I say I'd have to agree
Okie
“Where smiles are work by the hopeless and the broken harted
Somehow it became my fav❤️✨
Thank you
Thanks
I love you
