I love that she says "I wish I'd stayed inside my mother," instead of "I wish I'd never been born." As tragic as it is, it's also more hopeful. Inside our mothers we're at our safest, the closest to another human being we can be, and we still have all of our potential with none of our failures. It's a risk-free, entirely loved form of existing.
I wish I could have stayed there forever..
That's a beautiful observation/interpretation. Thank you for pointing it out.
this made me tear up
Wow that’s deep, very true though 🙂
such a beautiful comment
The line that gets me the most is "I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother Never to come out"
the idea of never wanting to have been born is so powerful yet so relate-able to anyone who has battled mental illness or been through hard times. This thought is so beautiful, sad, and haunting.
+EmeraldCityFM like you are just erased, no one misses you because you never exist. it would be perfect...
+itz K.T Emily, To see that beauty one must have two things, both beginning with E, WHAT are they?
+David Norgren Estrogen and Epilepsy
+Emily just to say I agree with your sentiments. She has a Beautiful Voice which conveys the Emotion in her songs
sometimes I wish that as well.. instead of taking my life I just wish I never existed.. so no one would care about the "mess I left behind"..
This song literally gives me goosebumps. I served 9.5 years in the US Army and now suffer from PTSD, TBI, insomnia and, fibromyalgia. Long of the short, I have lost several army buddies due to suicide. I tried several times to connect with them and help them but failed. It hurts...it gets loud in my head sometimes...music seems to quiet it down at times...thank you, everyone, for existing. Much love.
Shawn Mizzles stay strong dude, you're amazing
Nobody ever dies. They are just moved on from here. See you in the next world. Dont be late.
@@jonbainmusicvideos8045 i've got so much respect for you, wow. keep fighting :)
kīds arewëīrß stay strong, you deserve the best in life ❤️
You are going to make 💞
"all my children can become me"
This line just gets to me because even though I am still a teenager, just the thought of my future kids suffering from the same self-love issues as me breaks a part of me.
How is it now? Do you have children😅
you dont have to have any children...

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm wasted, losing time
I'm a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine
I want him but we're not right
[Chorus]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator
[Verse 2]
I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place
To lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave
To follow
To follow
To follow
To follow
[Chorus]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator
Oh love I'm sorry if I smothered you I'm sorry if I smothered you I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside My mother Never to come out
Daughter's songs always make me think I'm drowning. I think it's the beautiful echoes.
All I see is your profile picture.
TheSodaBurst Thissss If I could give you a million likes I would
TheSodaBurst my therapist always told me that feeling came from the echoing of memories
Same
I always cry....And i'm a male person. But this is intense.......
This song sounds like an apology for being the way God made you. It's so painful but breathtakingly beautiful and captivating.
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
No, sad to say that, but I think it’s not referring “the god”.
I will meet my “creators”
And “they” will all agree that I’m a suffocator
Keep your religious bullshit out of here
This song hits hard for me now. My friend introduced it to me when we were in High School as it was one of her favorite songs. She took her own life this year. It has new meaning for me now.
I am so sorry for your lost...hope you’re doing good
I'm sorry.
If you ever need to talk I'm right here in the comments section for you
sorry for your lost
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
This song feels like the perfect song to describe how I feel...
Connor Macfarlane yeep
Every time I'm sad, I'm back listening to this
VetVel what diffrence does it make?
@VetVel lol, *you* are what's wrong with society
I gave up on feelings and emotions long ago.
I just imagine being 65 and listening to this song in a quite room thinking about youthful days
shut up, you're making me cry man..(I'm joking relax) xD
omg ..
i'm 62 and that's what i do
it's not over yet. make more memories.
I am 65 and listening... in a quiet room...
"I sometimes wish i stayed inside my mother, never to come out" This is the saddest lyric i've ever heard.
i need it as my laptop wallpaper
Agreed
Bist du Deutsch?
I’m wasted, losing time
I’m a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine
I want him but we’re not right
In the darkness I will meet my creators
And they will all agree, that I’m a suffocator
I should go now quietly
For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds
All my limbs can become trees
All my children can become me
What a mess I leave
To follow [4x]
In the darkness I will meet my creators
They will all agree, I’m a suffocator
Suffocator [2x]
Oh no
I’m sorry if I smothered you [2x]
I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother
Never to come out
+Mercurial so much feels , i can t feel anything anymore.
Thank you for the lyrics!! ^^
Mercurial thanks
Mercurial damn. this whole time I thought she said "I'm sorry if I smiled at you". totally changes the whole meaning of the line and explains the title if the song. thnx lol
Mercurial i
"I'm sorry if I smother you..." I love this line, is so deep, is like asking for forgiveness just because you love someone.
Hi
right...
Exact feelings that I feel everyday. I like him so much. I even love him. But he feels nothing for me and I dont blame him. After all I smothered him causing him to suffocate. He needed air, and he couldn't have that with a suffocator around....
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
🥺
“I sometimes wish I’d stayed inside my mother” perfectly encapsulates that feeling when you dont want to take your own life but you simply wish you no longer had to exist.
YES
It's almost 4 years later since your comment but I just want you to know I understand. This song encapsulates all of those feelings and somehow, every single time provides a sense of relief I cannot describe in words. Thank you Daughter.
Everyone is talking about "I wish I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out"
but what really got me was " They will all agree that I'm a suffocator "
Same here..
Same. I certainly view myself as someone who just…always bothers everyone with their problems.
i listen to this song sometimes when i have depressive episodes and some people might think that this song would make it any better but it does and the beauty of it just makes me forget about the whole world around me and get dragged into a different one where everything is okay
+Lucy Hopwood I do that too!
That's what I do too
wow this is wonderful.. :)
+Lucy Hopwood i know exactly what you mean, it's like you allow yourself to drown in the fragile despair of the song, only to find a quiet tranquility... in the act of letting go
This is me tonight.
Throughout this blissful, exquisite track -though every part of it is important and beautiful -the lyrics that really get me are “I should go now quietly; for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep. Where all my layers can become reeds, all my limbs can become trees, all my children can become me -what a mess I leave.”
We all can take a song however we feel it is to be taken, but to me in particular, I take it as she's just so tired from always fucking everything up. From friendships and relationships to even the smallest of things. And she's so tired of trying to fix herself that she would rather just go and leave this world because it's the easy way out, despite that she knows how bad she has messed up.
And it isn't just this song that's pure brilliance from this band -it's every fucking song they make. Love you, Daughter, and thanks for understanding.
Corina Frenchy Love this comment. Amazing observation & interpretation.
beautiful comment. I agree! this song is too good for words
my favorite lyrics. so meaningful, and the words can be interpreted so many different ways. I wonder what inspires this women? lovely, just lovely. 😊
+Corina Frenchy Their music makes me understand my real feelings. It is easier than to torture my mind and figure out how I feel about everything. I am grateful for this brilliant lyrics.
This song expressed the complete feelings that i have in life after I moved. I still have depression but listening to this song makes me some how feel like I am not alone.
I loved my boyfriend too much when me and my best friend grew apart, I had no one but him and I became so dependent on him for happiness, it got too much for him and this song is perfect because i feel like I suffocated him with my love, I feel so alone now and he doesn't even miss me
+Lottie M It happens, sorry...
+Lottie M dude, it's so crazy
when someone just stops loving you - i'm not saying it cause i know why - but because it happened to me too
only time will let it go
+Lottie M I hear you. I feel like it's starting to happen with my boyfriend and I. I am recognizing it at least, so I'm hoping it dosent become reality. But I constantly have the feeling that I'm smothering him
I hope you're doing better
+Lottie M I had the same experience. It's a hard thing to feel.
When you just want to apologize for your existence.
Don't ever apologize for your existence. You owe nature, and society, nothing. You're alive, against your own will. If anything begs you for an apology, remove it from your life. This is your life. We're not slaves of our existence, existence is our slave. We bend it to our will and we force it to be whatever we want it to be. It only requires that you know how, and the knowledge to do so is obtainable. Once you acquire such knowledge, nothing stands in your way. After, it will simply remove itself from your view, willingly, because you're greater than it. This is only possible once you've overcome life's tyranny. The essence of a slave is to be a slave of the times--a slave of the circumstances--a slave of nature. If the times, or the circumstances, or nature gets in your way, burn them to the ground. This is the struggle to survive.

+James Collins listen to marshmallow - alive
this comment chain looks like a good place to find some new music
marshmallow is the best!
MELLOGANG!!!
You are the best Maya!
I love all of daughter's songs but smother for some reason is my favorite one. The lyrics, they are so raw, speaking every word I fail to in the most wonderful way. The. Way I interpret it, she has decided that life is no longer for her, that she is tired of everything she is doing wrong. This explains exactly how I feel. I feel like a waste of life, I always fuck things up and even if nothing wrong is going on in my life, my mind will always find a way to make me sad. I always think that putting an end to everything will be the best thing I could do, to save others from hurting them and to stop my mind from making me feel like that. I hope things will get better someday like everyone keeps saying it will.
Armyy
stay strong ❤ if you read this know you've come a long way. You are worth and your life matters.
Heeey same profile pic
heyy fellow kpop trashes!
윤기민 you put my life into a single paragraph
She sings 'Suffocator' and you can hear the depth of its meaning coming out of her throat.
even without knowing what it actually means.
personally for me, this song makes me think of someone who feels like they're being too needy and clingy towards one person, and they feel like they're suffocating from all the guilt they're feeling. hence the line "im sorry if i smothered you" smother i think means love. smothered them with so much needs and wants... just my view on it. :)
I've always felt it referring to someone who's created a lot of problems for others and is an attempt at showing they've realised this and the 'oh lord, I'm sorry if I smothered you' is their way of 'repenting' their sins
goth kid of course smother means loved too much
vary late now but may i say. yes it is to a point but if you feel in to it.....its more then just one.its a way of life that one day you look back on and.....yes you have destroyed and sucked the life out of ppl but if you feel like that its becose you dont know the way out and every one has there own way out of it. you just have to look good and hard and say...yes i was but what am i now what can i be.....and go forward.....good luck out there on this crazy crazy world
that’s how I feel❤️
You just described what I did I was clingy to the one person I though would give me happiness sadly when I was at my lowest and I wanted to feel any type of love she abandon me
When I was 14 years old I was dying to know what the meaning of this song is… now I am 24 and I‘m crying because I can finally understand this beautiful sad song
I relate to you sm!! Same age and all
I agree,even tho im only 19,life has been so hard and im only at the beginning. I dont know if I could survive. Never imagined life would be so hard for the stupid people😅
omg same
Everytime I feel tired and spent and empty, I listen to this song. I cry until I have no tears left, then everything feels bearable again.
this song makes me cry. and i admit to being a baby when it comes to books, even movies, but no song other than this one has hit me this hard. daughter's music connects to your heart in so many ways. i love it.
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
"In the darkness I will meet my creators". Beautiful line.
Everytime I decide it's time to end it, I come back to this song. It's the last thing I want to hear. And it saved me so many times in last few years...and I want to say thank you, Daughter, thank you for your art. I am grateful for being able to listen to this when all I want is a little moment of peace with myself.
I wish u all the best please stay
Jesus loves you so much more than you know ❤️
Sending you loads of love, we will find a way to make it trough this society
Super happy you’ve decided to stick around this earth for awhile, beautiful music like this certainly makes it all a little more worth it :) hope you’re okay, remember that you super matter
Please... Stay...
since my 16s i listen to this song. Im 21 now. Still fighting depression. Its hard.
5 years here too. Stay strong, it's not an easy path but don't give up, you're going to make it. There's hope for us, there's hope and love for you
I discovered this band completely by accident from their song "youth". Have lived them since. Her voice is so mellow and soothing.
She has a voice like an angel! I love going to sleep listening to her music.
Mark Whitley u had a discussion with an angel before ?
Maram Makhlouf why not, I'm conversing with a devil (you) right now? You're funny!
Yeah I'm actually haha
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
"I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out" ♥
well that's fucked up man O.o
its a girl ;)
poenan95 Yes Elena is a girl, but I think juandavid means the man who hurt her is f-ed up.
Loni well the guys juan is talking to the girl ayonna so i still think im right
to love someone that doesn't love you back is basically smothering yourself 😔
my current situation. 💔
Why would you love someone that does not love you back? That is half of loving someone in the first place. I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything, but I honestly don't understand this problem. I have never allowed myself to have it.
Trump The Bitch I am not trying to fight you or anything and I respect your point of view. but that's the the thing about love you know, it happens no matter how hard you try not to fall in love. And when you fall in love only to find out that the person doesn't love you back but you can't just stop loving them. So at the end the only feeling you are left with is being smothered.
you don't get to choose who you fall in love with. and once you fall in love with them, even if they don't love you back, you never stop loving them.
+Day&James ex exactly
As someone who has been haunted by dark depressive thoughts, having constant existential crisis, and so many derealization episodes, with trauma, I cannot express how this makes me feel, something in my gut, something sick, something that reminds me of all the people who hurt me, abandoned me, or just couldn't handle my mental issues. I know how hard it is to love me. My views on everything are so depressive and dark, and I know deep down that no matter how much help I receive ill always stay the same. Ive had 8 therapists, and 2 doctors, been on multiple medications and sent to a mental hospital twice. Since second grade I've rationalized my horrible thoughts, after years and years of just believing myself I don't think I could ever be okay again. Sometimes I'm hopeful, sometimes I'm happy, but i know I'll always be just a person who never could be okay. Until the end.
I hate this because I’m the same right down to how many therapists and psychiatrists I’ve had and everything but know that you’ll find people one day that understand what you’re going through and they’ll stay even when it gets hard
I hope ur doing better 🙏
anyone else come here for the pain and memory's of somebody you loved and lost? [2023 it gets better just hang in there kings and Queens
You aren't alone.
Cara Taylor :/
fuck..
nah I just came here to listen to a really good tune.
yeah..
I should go now quietly, for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep..
+itsemgee I read this as it played that part!!:(
+Georgia Read me too! :'D
Weird!!:)
+itsemgee so did i
omf same!!
i cry every time i listen to this song, but i can't stop listening to it..the relatability is just..astounding... "i want him, but we're not right"...
Kayla Chofey me too
Grow up
I think was the only black boy growing up listening to daughter. I never wanted to share my headphones with anybody. Nowadays idc to say it Daughter got me through the hardest times in my life
❤❤❤❤
I don't know how I can't even hate any of their songs. Daughter is one of the best band, and I really think they should be more famous, cause their song are really incredible and depressive, and I like it.
Isabelle Soares i agree, they are amazing, have their own climat of songs
Wiktoria Różak Of course!
Isabelle Soares its gives your heart to live on
Isabelle Soares I'm already hopelessly in love with them despite only discovering them they week. Fossa played live is my favourite performance by anyone I've ever heard.
just found them they are so amazing ! like I can't believe I've never heard of them before !
Personally, I find this song to be a testament to myself.
I've been depressed for four years, since having lost a close friend to the 2015 Paris attacks (will not name who) while I was in middle school. Usually, I was the bright and bubbly outcast who somehow made a name for himself, but for four weeks straight after having received the news, I was sullen and seclusive. Two days after I broke down, making clear the revelation to many of my friends in class, and received much needed counseling and consoling. Not that it helped much.
My younger sister OD'd at the end of my high school year (still alive), and while she's let it slide, I still constantly blame myself for not knowing she was in such bad shape personally to have done such a thing. Hell, I had not a clue how depressed _she_ was, prior to having done so. By now, we've ironed things out, but I still cry myself to bed in secret at the thought alone.
"Smother" was introduced to me by my second ex-girlfriend, with whom I've remained on good terms, post-breakup. Never before was I touched by a song so much or could relate to it to such a strong capacity, since it reminded me so much of myself and the above mentioned events.
My high school senior year, five people who I was close to were killed; one (my German teacher) in a motorcycle crash, the other four by suicide. The school only gave a shit for one student who was on the junior varsity football team; the others went quiet.
This year, said ex-girlfriend took her life.
I don't look the part, but I'm hurting. So much.
Hey. I'm super late to the party, but just came across this and hope you're doing well. That's an indescribable weight you've had to carry. I hope you've got someone you can talk to when you need it
I don't regret knowing to know who you are.
I don't regret seeing who you were behind the veil you show to others.
I don't even regret coming to love you and feel my soul awaken with the joy and thirst for the life that we could have made together.
I feel the sorrow that you let go of who I am.
You forgot the person who you had fallen in love with.
Even if it was because of someone else or because of myself.
I awake each day feeling the same way I did for you.
I awake feeling as though there is something that I should have said.
Something I should have felt.
That isn't the case.
You forgot me.
You forgot that I was the one who loved you when you were there.
I was the one who told you that you were more than even you saw yourself as.
I guess that is the problem with me.
I built you up.
I was the one who fell.
Now I am the one who is the rubble while you are the one.
The ones who awoke the dream that lived inside me.
Now I am the one who is left behind.
You are loved.
+Victoria Calvert Life continues and we learn that the one thing that still remains is you.
+PatricParrot life carries on. That is true but what is life in single existence? One life, one breath, one star, one tear, one death, what kind of life is that? Just existing isn't living and you can't live without love. Everyone. Everyone deserves to be loved and everyone is loved by one or the other.
That is the painful realisation of life though. That we are born into it alone; live a life of a fleeting existence and return to the nothing from where we came. Nothing means anything and we have no purpose. However we continue, not because of an ascribed version of what we should do in a life but rather what we could do with our lives. What we could become that next day. We live that we may become better and make the life not only for ourselves richer but the lives of those around us.
Love lifts us up yes but it is not the the lone thing in our lives. Life is short and fleeting, enjoy what you have while you still have it. Love will come and go, what remains is you and knowing that your life was once with love.
So long as I see another day I may see another love.
It's original. Granted it has been boosted by readings in philosophy and a life lived thus far. Thank you for saying that though.
this is becoming part of my story
I wrote a book online and this is part of my story
Diego Crusius stay strong my brother...
"In the darkness I will meet my creators.. And they will all agree that I'm a, suffocator."
ion get it
"I'm sorry if I smiled at you" gets me every time.
I love this song because it reminds me of how I felt in my dark times and how far I have come.
To anyone reading this:
Things will get better
It is OK to feel like this
But it is not forever
so close! she actually says "I'm sorry if I smothered you" if that helps
You know when a song just sums you up so much as a person?
I know! .. you're right, it sums the person up from the inside out so much!
Everything about it from her subtle singing voice, the slow build up and the ghostly echoes that resonate throughout hit me hard. So emotional.
This side of RUclips is Breath Taking
It takes your heart, uses the pure & impurest drops of your blood to draw before us a Beautifully Depressing Portrait of ourselves in different light & on a Canvas we've never known. Songs like these gently whisper through the veins to our heart as it beats slower, it beats harder to feel every inch of this Melody.
It's truly Astounding how deep Music can cut into us for we're Fragile Beings wanting to be gently Loved.
That was beautifully said
Thank You Very Much Marissa.
Thank you for that that was truly beautiful and I'm it being sarcastic at all 💕
not^
Oh, I appreciate it. I really enjoy music like this. I believe every song speaks to people in it's own little way and the songs that are so calming and soothing, I feel as if they shed a little piece of you that you either knew or didn't know you had. Music is a powerful Entity and since there's so much of it out there it's truly an amazing tell tale for everyone.
Daughter, Blackbear and Oh Wonder. Their songs are including sadness, real love and realized something like being alone. I love them. They should be more popular.
I was looking for this song. I remember years ago, a person that i loved very much but, choose to abuse me instead.. showed me this song. Well he actually tagged me in it. I cried like no other because, I knew it was the truth. It didn’t matter how he meant it.
The fact that this is a beautiful song. I never forget the feelings this song gave me
As much as i listen to Daughter when im feeling down and I need to wallow, As much as I use this music to achieve catharsis as it relates to depression, I also come here in good moments. Right now things don't seem so bad, but I can still relate to everything in this song. it's very interesting to me, the way that something that evokes feeling of apathy can also make me feel so content.
I listen to this now and think of everything I've been through. I feel stronger. I don't feel alone in having been apathetic or having felt worthless. None of those moments define who I am. They don't have to define who you are.
Daughter's music just has this incredible stillness and clarity for me. It's funny how even though our moods can be very responsive to music, music can also be responsive to moods. This same song that I've wept to makes me smile right now
This song... always reminds me of the one I used to love. I really loved him... I even gave away everything I was for him. & he didn't seem to care about it. I didn't liked the way I felt when I was with him. I felt I couldn't fit in his world. I swear I try my hardest. However... I couldn't take it anymore. & Maybe, right now... He's into another girl. He can't even figure out how much I cry every single night... How I ask why did it had to end, why it didn't worked out, why did I felt that way... & all these unfinished conversations just... hurt so much. & this beautiful song says everything I'd like to say to him. Yet... I can't just speak. I stay quiet... & swallow it.
Thanks... for saying what I want to say... & I really love this song.
i have felt like that a couple of times
but how
James Lennardo thanks to this comment I know that I'm not the only one that's been feeling that way. Thanks for taking your time to answer. I hope you're feeling better now.
no i am always sad i am getting fed up with it but i never think my mind is always blank
Oh dear... u_u I know how does that feels like... It gets harder to breathe right? u_u
On repeat when needing to release the trapped, sticky grief I carry.
I'm wasted, losing time
On a foolish, fragile spine.
I want all that is not mine,
I want him but we're not right.
In the darkness, I will meet my creators
And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator.
I should go now quietly,
For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep.
Where all my layers can become reeds,
All my limbs can become trees,
All my children can become me,
What a mess I'll leave,
To follow
To follow
To follow
To follow
In the darkness, I will meet my creators
And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator,
Suffocator
Suffocator
Oh no,
I'm sorry if I smothered you,
I'm sorry if I smothered you,
I sometimes wish I'd stay inside, my mother
Never to come out.
I lost friends because i guess I was too needy and this song makes it all feel better.
+Yoshi Can i be your friend too?
there's nothing wrong with u just havent met the right ppl )
+Terina Leiato thank you 💜
I lost my "friends" because every single one of them betrayed me LOLOLOLOL
i lost friends because i dont want to be "cool" i just want to be myself, and ofcourse some betrayed me.
her music is brilliant, and has so much depth. I can help but cry when I listen to this song, it hits me hard on so many levels
For some reason this song makes me think of when I lost my baby not my relationship. For some reason the tone and the lyrics and the feeling of emptiness after I lost him are right here in this song. I have only just been able to start listening to this song again 3 years on from it. "Where all my layers can become reeds, all my limbs can become leaves, all my childrencan become me. What a mess I leave". Im glad I didn't leave
can't count how many times I broke in tears hearing "sometimes I wish I stay inside my mother never to come out"
i’m not one to make connections and really open up to people but when i do i smother them and they always end up leaving, i will always be better off alone, or even better inside my mother never to come out
It's been five years since I discovered this song, right after my mother died. It always reminds me of how far I've come since then, of how much I used to feel and how so many of those feelings have faded into something I can recognise now. It's amazing how time heals us, but also makes us forget the worst kind of pain.
This song describes how I feel right now, I adore this boy and I know he won't ever feel the same. Each day I fall more for him, it's always the same all the time, whilst my feelings are getting stronger, and whilst I have to be "okay" when hes there when the night before I was in tears and couldn't sleep. How he's always in my head, a vivid image and he's always in my dreams, I always try and hold onto this hope. That one day, maybe he will feel the same. I know he won't, each day it shatters me, when I see him he's so oblivious and when he's there everything around me is the same, it's all the same nothing good has happened, everyday and everytime I see him I fall for him so much more, he's far from other people, he doesn't dress like the conventional people, he has his own individuality but it's so casual, he's so authentic and he knows himself so well; he's so unpredictable, I adore him. I wish he was mine and we could be something, I know that won't happen. It makes me want to die, I can't even explain the pain in the slightest. It hurts so fucking bad. I just wanna be happy, it's killing me, he's all I want, nothing else. Why is it so hard? It makes me feel so sick, I hate this so much!
This described how Im feeling right now. I understand man, It fucking sucks
ParxdiseHarry I feel you so much, I'm chasing a girl. I want to hang myself everytime I speak to her. She rejects me but I keep trying and so do you. Without progress you'll do nothing.
Have confidence, kiddo. :')
I still recall the moment when I saw them live and she whispered through the microphone " I am sorry I smothered you" when I shed tears and my body shivered !!
I can´t stop thinking about the lyrics... so good...
2024 anyone?
Yes ..💯
When I found this artist, this song, I was in middle school and I was so full of pain. I'm in such a different place now, I can't fully remember how much I truly wanted to die, how desperate and scared I felt. It's strange now, that this song makes me nostalgic. I'm just happy I never went though with it. I'm glad younger me made it out ok :)
I'm now 30 and I hope that this realisation will come to me at some point. I can feel it getting worse with every passing year...
this song goes wonderfully with sad books
I find is reminds me of darquesse from skulduggery pleasant
cheebifred skuldugerry pleasant is a very good book.
Fidessa Isiko EXTREMELY good book :D got the last 2 in the series to read, didn't get them till this christmas and i'm finishing the douglas adams series first
cheebifred Yeah, I still have a while to go before I finish the series. Sadly I've only been able to read the first book. Would really love to read the others and hopefully I will soon.
Try reading a book when listening to music ita awesome
Omg, this song is amazing.. i love it so much...♥
'Memories never die'...
julia Well are you still listening? Do you remember?
This may actually one of the most beautiful ballets of words and sounds that I have ever heard. Truely drop to the knees in awe. My soul thanks you.
"where all my layers can become reeds,
all my limbs can become trees,
all my children can become me,
what a mess I leave, to follow.."
beautiful.
I could not go deeper than this music
I discovered this beauty just today.
By far,the most beautiful thing my ears have ever listened.
It's been 8 years since I discovered this song and it still describes me... it's so deep and touches my soul. I'm in love with this song and also with "Youth". This band is my life💖
Never have I ever felt so connected to a song. Always come back to this.
It’s getting bad again, this feeling that takes me back to many bad memories. There’s no point in trying again, I’m always going to be this way.
“In the darkness I will meet my creators.” This speaks to me so much..
comments section of Daughter songs is both a place to feel sorry for yourself, as well as a place to start changing your life for the better. In a way it's beautiful.
Thank You Elena, for understanding exactly what we feel and putting it in songs
I truly love you
i love the raw emotion she puts in all of her lyrics. they're so authentic and poetic and it's so beautiful.
Daughter é o meu refúgio
no other song understands me like this one does
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
cried to this when I was 13 and now 17 when things have only gotten so much worse. I don't think anything will ever be okay
My favorite part -
I sometimes wish i stayed inside, my mother
never to come out
do you ever feel that you are too much for everyone.
Yes I'm to much for myself, I just want stop to exist anymore
“In the darkness I will meet my creators…and they will all agree I’m a suffocator.” Unfortunately if you relate to that line as much as me relationships wise (clingy, always getting turned down etc) then I own an apology to you on the behalf of “that person”.
let’s all go to together on a picnic in a field somewhere and scream to let out our emotions then we can jam to some tunes while eating snacks we’ll also talk about problems then cry with each other then we’ll laugh with each other and then sit in silence watching the sunset then we can all talk and gaze at the stars while trying to find constellations while all laying in a circle side by side
I make music very much inspired by daughter. would love if you took a listen.
I like your way of thinking.
this song.... it just puts my anxiety into words i cant explain it
Just saw her live! She is absolute perfection
That first "I'm sorry if I smothered you"... I feel like you can almost hear the pain in her voice...
Everyone of Daughter’s songs give me goosebumps. But this songs speaks the most to me, each line is true to me
First time hearing this song and can't stop listening to it.. Got me thinking about my lonely life. I have friends but I always feel alone. When I go out I'm not enjoying myself. And getting to know someone is so hard for me cause I push everyone away. It's been years now.. Can't do this anymore idk what happened.
This song almost always makes me teary eyed. Her voice, the lyrics, the production, the sentiment of it , at least for me, is the icing on the cake. It’s a gem really.
You wanna know something? No matter how hard life is, it'll always get better. Do you remember when you fell off your bike and got a bruise? That's right. And did you give up? No, you didn't. That's because you got hope and determination. You got a bandaid on your bruise. See where I'm getting at here? No matter how hard things get, there's always hope. It's like the bruise. It takes time to heal, but in order for it to quicken, you gotta have faith and hope. And the bandaid? Well, don't you ever feel like you're so lost and empty and no one cares about you? The bandaid is a person who cares about you; its a person who loves you. Please... no matter how much the struggles and hardships you face, you shouldn't give up. You gotta stay determined, okay? I'm here for you. You may not know me, and I may not know you. But I wanna help people when they're sad. And, wanna know something else? Hope stands for something. This is what it stands for: HOLD ON, PAIN ENDS.
your comment made me cry for some reason
god, thank you so much, that means a lot
Optimism is a thought from people who stand under the light in the night and wait for it to pas ignoring the fact that night wil always return in our world. But looking to these small periods of happines they thend to forget that everything has a date of experation. Trying to forget the suffering they got while looking into the light. Praising evolution for only letting us remember the good moments.
Your comment just killed me :o "HOLD ON, PAIN ENDS" I've never thought about it like that. I'm really thankful for your comment. It cheered me up a little bit :) We need more people like you on earth :) And btw I guess I will quote this sometime ;) If I am allowed to? :D :o
Mary Nary Sure , im glad i've cheered u up :)
"Agobio"
Soy un desperdicio, pierdiendo el tiempo
Soy una tonta y frágil espina dorsal
Quiero todo lo que no es mío
Lo quiero a él, pero lo nuestro no es posible
En la oscuridad me encontrare con mis creadores
y todos estarán de acuerdo en que soy un agobio
Debería ir me ahora, silenciosamente
Con mis huesos hayando un lugar para enterrarse y descansar
Donde todas mis capas pueden volverse juncos,
Todas mis extremidades pueden volverse árboles
Todos mis hijos pueden convertirse en mi
Que lío que dejo
para seguir ...
Oh, Amor
Perdoname si te he agobiado,
Perdoname si te he agobiado,
A veces desearía haber permanecido dentro de mi madre
para nunca salir de ahí
I understand now how people can die from broken hearts. I feel my heart slowly decaying and I do not wish for it to heal.
hope u feel better now ...
Ur body will try to do watever it can to save itself
descobri essa música há quase 4 anos e até hoje quando eu escuto, eu sinto como se estivesse descansando em um mundo paralelo... muito intensa
Escuto essa música a mais de 5 anos, com ela chorei e cresci. Espero que daqui a mais 5 anos, ainda não tenha esquecido ela❤️
Around 2.5 years ago I was severely depressed and I was one hundred percent convinced I was going to die that way. I had completely and utterly given up on life. But here I am today, still going, with friends, a hobby and most importantly, a will to live along with HOPE.
Things get better guys. I know you all here this a lot, but I swear to god I am living proof,
I just imagine driving my car alone, maybe travel to another country or somewhere and listen to this song. I love it so much and feeling grateful for the life.🥰
This song is so hauntingly beautiful and sadly relatable
found this song when I needed it
I have a close friend who had a really rough upbringing and struggles with a lot of demons. We were talking last night, and he was telling me about the guilt he still feels over a past relationship and how it feels like it’s destroying him. This song happened to be playing while we were talking. My god. I’ve never cried so hard. There’s so much raw pain and emotion in this song and it’s tenfold every time I think about him and what he’s gone through as I’m listening.
I listened to this song a lot when I was suicidal, now I come back every so often to feel it gripping at me the way it did when I was on the edge.
I feel a strenght on my soul when I listen to this incredible music
