Im not crying.. you are! NF is the only artist I relate to 100%. Depression is the hardest battle, especially when you don't let no one help, because you don't want to burden anyone else.. Praying for everyone and myself who have fought this battle every damn day
I relate to some of the song like my mind is a home I’m trapped in and some other things that make me not smile cause I haven’t smiled since my grandma past it’s kinda like depression
I have depression, and I try to tell my sister and relatives buts they say, "it's a phase you'll get over it" That's the hard part is when you get the guts to tell someone and they tell you that, and when someone says they'll help me, all they do is say "it's okay" The whole time they are watching me have a mental breakdown! Idk what to do anymore......
I can understand I'm in deep depression and I don't really have anyone usually to talk to because most of my family just judge me or shrug it off and tell me "not everything is about you! So shut up and get over it." or they say "oh, your fine, you'll get over it." without even considering asking how I feel so I just try to get by and talk only to the three people in my life that I trust and usually I just grit my teeth and where a fake smile because I honestly don't want them to worry about me, I mean I feel like it's my fault that my bff is depressed I was supposed to be there for her but I wasn't and now she's depressed and I don't know what to do because I already am dealing with a voice in my head constantly telling me I'm worthless and that everything is my fault and that I should kill myself... I talked with my mom one of the three people I actually trust and she recommended a councilor or therapy so I'm going to look into that but, at this point I don't even know what to do anymore... cause honestly I don't even know if I'm still sane anymore I've been trapped in a never-ending cycle of mental abuse with my family it's just so overwhelming. What should I do?
Being someone who lives with PTSD, anxiety and depression, this song does a great job of explain what our minds and lives are like. I love this song. Makes me feel like someone else is telling my story
It's honestly sad because it reminds a lot of people what they gone through and become sad if people understand what I'm saying please don't get depression at all
Cuz we are all battleing the same demon of depression. But your doing okay! Infight it to man some times its just the random your okay!!! Everything is okay! Indont know you but ingot you back!!!
I love how I can read through all the comments and nobody has any dislikes. We're all family here. Thank you NF for bringing us together. Your music has inspired a lot of people, and it has brought together a huge amount of hurt, and struggling people.
I hope so, cuz unfortunately my older brother Joseph, who doesn't like NF, has been going through and disliking NF videos, and a crap ton of comments. I'm really mad at him for that. I love NF, and so do so many other people.
"These walls are my blank expression My mind is a home I'm trapped in And its lonely inside this mansion" Jesus..... all his songs hit hard in the right places for everybody...
@@markedgell299 Congratulations man/woman. Being clean is hard but good for you for not taking or drinking or shooting up or whatever you did. But congrats all the way around!
Scientifically, having a bad mental state might hurt you more then physical pain. Now, here's the difference. Physical pain only lasts a little while, whereas depression/anxiety/loneliness/bipolar/bullying can give you a toxic brain. You'll think nothing but toxic thoughts. Plus, there's no guarantee that pills, counseling, therapy, mental hospitals, or anything else will help. I've turned to all of those things I just listed. They didn't work for me. What do I do now? Wait for something. No, INVITE something good to come into my life. Something I've been struggling with is basically just being bipolar. One moment I'll tell my parents I want to live, and the next I'll probably be suicidal. It's not for attention, it's just how my brain works.
@ReNNN U If you're mental health drives you to self harm, it is worse, actually. You are right about what you said, however, physical pain doesn't cause you to mentally hurt yourself. It's not THAT bad. Whereas, if you have bad mental health, it will bring down your physical health as well. Don't you know cause and effect? Mental health is cause, physical health is effect. Therefore, mental health is worse.
"yo my mind is a house with walls covered in lyrics they're all over the place, there's songs in the mirrors" DAMN his songs always hit hard this one literally wacks me in the gut with aluminum lyrics
This man is a role model, he speaks the language of the abused, he is real with us if not with himself. I write music because he inspired me not to hold back. I don’t know how many he’s inspired, but it’s a high number, but I’m sure he’s helped even more.
3:44 is how I feel around people that I don't wanna lose from my trauma or my overthinking if I am annoying them with my problems or me "complaining" about my depression or if I am tired
I remember when I was homeless at the age of 9 and I used to pretend I was just dreaming I eventually became mentally ill and missed out on most of my life, and missed having a chance to say goodbye to my brother before he went 😭
He's afraid to open the door to let people in at the same time he wants his fear to leave the house and to do so he has to open the door but again he's afraid to open the doors. Damn ❤️. One of the best tracks I heard in my life❤️. Perfect combination of anger and pain and sorrow and expression. 💯
I haven't lost my mom or anything, but I can relate to these lyrics. I'm always lost in my own head and kinda ignore everything unless it's important..
Man, or hurts so bad to listen to his songs. But I just can't stop! Ooooohhhhhhh, every time I listen to one, I see more and more the type of life he's had, like I understand the lyrics better the more I listen! Gosh it's just burns to hear, but I just can't stop!
Been through all of this... Only God can heal this... Sometimes we are taken to a place we don't want to see to be brought to a place we need to be... The testimony we have needs to be shared to help the next one out of the dark hole we have been in.
Its hard when you relate to most of the lyrics. Nobody knows how to help you. So to all the people who are struggling I love you Your beautiful Let me be your shoulder to cry on Let your feelings come out slowly, before they all flood out Know your amazing You are you All genders are real Every sexuality is Valid Dont listen to them Dont let yourself fail Be yourself Love yourself Dont listen to those thoughts Dont treat your skin like paper You have so much to live for. Just remember. I love you for you, no matter who you are, you beautiful amazing stranger Have a blessed day ❤️
Holy spirit, those songs of NF, just teach u what life really is, so inspiring, motivational and sometimes sad too. Those r things that i call real song.
On my God same! My friends just look at me like I'm crazy. Then they start talking about there "problems" . There "problems" are like they forgot to do something or whatever . I always help them with there problems but when I'm telling them mine I'm better off talking to a wall because I can say "what did I just say?" And all I hear is silence .
"Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in" I feel like that everyday, its normal to me. I can relate to almost all of these lyrics, its sad, I go to a theripist a lot, but it doesn't help, nothing really does.
Jesus loves you He came to earth to save you and give you eternal lif and hope. Romans 6:23 (ESV): 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NF's songs will always leave me speechless, just his voice holds such power. One thing I like is that with NF's songs it doesn't seem as "angry" as it does "hurt", and because of that the song weighs so much more, at least to me. I admittedly haven't heard too many of his songs, but that's how I am with artists in general tbh. But with each one I hear it gives me chills. Something I love about each one I've heard so far is they all seem to talk from the inside's 'perspective', like in Intro III (unless the sort of fight is going on between him and a personification of something he's addressed as other than just himself and such) it doesn't relate much outside experience, and I find that sometimes the inside is where most of the conflict is. This song captures it beautifully and NF always will do that.
I always change physically abused to s3xually abused so that it feels more personal. This song helps me let out my emotions so much. I rarely ever talk about how I truly feel. Thank you so much Nate. You are one of the few reasons I am not back in the hospital again.
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years I built the safe room and I don't let no one in there 'Cause if I do, there's a chance that they might disappear and not come back And I admit I am emotionally scared to let anyone inside So I just leave my doors locked You might get other doors to open up but this door's not 'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me I'm barricaded inside so stop watching I'm not coming to the door so stop knocking, stop knocking I'm trapped here, God keeps saying I'm not locked in I chose this, I am lost in my own conscience I know that shutting the wall down ain't solving the problem But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em I built it because I thought that it was safer in there But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's living in here Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in Maybe that's the problem 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can 'Cause in order to do that I'd have to open the doors Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore
As a minister, mentor, and counselor, I love your music, I share your music. Thank you for your transparency. Prayers for you, your family, and all those who struggle daily. May the Lord continue to use you to touch, heal, and save lives. God Bless You.🙏🏾
It's amazing how well you put into words what's in my head and I what I've been through. Thank you for doing what I couldn't. It helps so very much to be able to listen and sing along.
I can relate to some of the the feelings he had NF's music has helped me a lot throw the dark time and then I remembered that someone else has it much more worse so I just wanted to say you guys are stronger than you know
Struggling with my religion and these lyrics describe it perfectly. I lost my parents suddenly in a car accident right before thanksgiving of 22. Before that I lost my brother to a car accident in high school. I feel so conflicted on believing that this all was supposed to happen. PTSD, grief, anxiety and depression hit me so hard and this song and others help so much. Thank you for making relatable songs and showing us your life regardless if it’s pretty or not. 🖤
NF is my favorite kind of music. Spoken word poems that don’t need music but use it anyway. Charged with so much more genuine emotion than any other art form could ever hope to convey. Talking about insecurities and flaws and the problems that plague and have plagued the artist. People relate. People *understand*. People learn that they’re not alone. That there are people out there just as messed up as them and that’s alright because, through this, we are in it together. Through this, we can flip on a song and relate to someone that understands the intricacies of our issues and, even if they can’t solve them, we can be together in them.
this song hits close, i was verbally, mentally, emotionally and somewhat close to physically abused by my ex step dad for at least 2 years, i think its so sad that he releases these sort of songs and people dont take them seriously. it hits close to home and i hope that people are able to realise how much emotion and pain he puts into these songs
I love how it says "is it me or the fear talking?" Just like how it says that in intro III but this time he says "I dont know anymore" instead of "what a dumb question" like before
that's tough bro, I lived 25 years by myself because both my parents died during a car accident and I didn't know what to do. My childhood was hard and my life was tough but you have to know that life is a series of challenges and on the other side waits the ultimate prize. I tried to sucide multiple times but remember that ur life, no one can put a price on, ur life has meaning and if it didn't, u wouldn't be here. Tough times become just a memory that will pass by but good times are the ones that will cherish others and you. so Hold on, pain ends. if this gets 100 likes ill tell my whole story
think about it all the time just trying to cope and say, im hear for something its just real hard to find out what that is, my favorite quote "if your going through hell just keep going" - Winston Churchill
You left out the best part! After he spits fire the whole song, the ending is the saddest when he repeatedly says..."it's lonely...lonely...inside this mansion"
"Broken legs but I chase perfection" These lyrics seen to relate to my situation the most, but it was a hard choice. This is because my mother always says my father stole money from her... and it seems that's all she cares about. That and other men. She takes her anger out on me for both me and my father, which is similar to breaking my legs, cause having your own mother beat you as a child hurts both mentally and physically. I seem to be pushed towards perfection because she always wants me to have this doll-like smile it seems. I feel like she makes it almost impossible to reach or even chase perfection because all she's done has made it harder to get closer to perfection while that's the only thing she wants me to do. The only thing that will make it stop. I have a similar coping mechanism to this composer. I make up stories in my head that seem to almost cover the memories another reference to the line that refers to not trying to fix walls but trying to repaint. I feel like the walls, of course, is my mind and the paint are these stories and words that seem to be the only thing that I have and my only escape. I sometimes feel like when she beats me, I'm not present. I'm running through my mind. Happy. Smiling to make her stop, not because I did what she asked but because I'm almost blinded by fake memories of happiness.
Hope that one day everything will be better, but having a hard time makes u realise what not to do and u will be an amazing person bc of it, it's not okay and it should stop but remember that you're a better person then her and who ever is treating you bad, i believe you're a really good person and u really are even tho i don't know you, i know u are❤
when you have everyone, family, lover...but you feel lonely.... none of them understands you, demotivates, mocks you, never let you to follow your dreams and never supports you.... A lover who says she loves me, but hardly spends time with me and doesn't even wants to let me go. Broke.... Working for A job that has no career path.... What am i doing with my life... I dont know. Depressed.... Failed trying suicide
dont give up, say it and talk to other people, make new good friends. We are here for you, you always can talk to me on discord too ( my user is Xmas_foox#0566 ) and everything i say, i mean it! you are awesome and even if i dont know you. its true. dont think bad about yourself please
Damn bro. Keep it up. Dont let anyone take you down. Youre the best hip/hop rapper out there. I also appreciate that you send youre story to millions which is really hard. Keep it up. Never give up. Carry on in life.❤❤
Like almost everyone who loves NF we all have one connection we are all his songs and he sings our feelings to make us feel like good and all I want to say is “thank you NF thank you” I will always remember these songs
"Fear came to my house years ago, I let him. And that the problem I've been dealing with him ever since. I thought that he would leave but it's obvious he never did. He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in. Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win. Or put him back outside where came from but I never can. Cause in ordered to do that I'd have to open the doors. Is that me or the fear talkin' I don't know anymore" Powerful. I get chills everytime I hear that part.
My best friend of 2-3 years recently passed away in May, NF was his favorite artist and this was his favorite song. Listening to it by myself now hurts, but i know this kept him going and made him fight as hard as he could. Unfortunately he was just too tired to keep fighting, i’m sorry I didn’t do anything, but I thank you for letting me inside to meet the true you ❤️ I miss and love you everyday
Damn this song is the only song I have ever heard that really speaks truth like this. I'm crying and I can relate so much to this song. Another great hit by NF.
"it's lonely... So lonely... Inside this mansion" Thank you for putting this to lyrics. This is one of several songs that are on a playlist of mine that I put on when I need to cry and release.
I feel like a lot of the negative people leave your life for a reason.... they KNOW they aren't any good. And if they want whats best for you. They won't stay. For that reason, they want YOU to be happy! Be greatful the bad once walk away..
My experience is they only leave after they realize they can't leach of ya any longer and there's that one person in life you can't seem to cut loose no matter the damage they're causing
I lost someone that was my best friend for a long time bc i made a mistake that he wasnt able to forgive. And from then on he blamed me for the reason he always felt down, adding to my guilt and sadness and he is always name calling me, but no matter how much he is being rude to me i cant seem to be able to let go and i am dieing inside, its hurts so much. And alot of my friends are hurting each other over stupid things and i am always trying to stop them, its becoming a big burden, its been about a whole month that they have been hurting each other and me being the trying to help. But i will keep looking forward and praying to God for help and guidance. No matter what u are going through God will help you get you through it. U ask for wisdom He gives you problems to solve, you ask for strength, He gives you challenges to overcome, You ask for Love and He gives you troubled people to help, and you ask for courage and He gives you danger to overcome.
"see my problem is I don't fix thing, I try to repaint, cover em up, like it never happened'." Felt that. Who am I kidding? I felt this whole song so hard, now I'm in pain.
My best friend sent me this song to describe her now, I wish she knew she didn't have to be lonely in her mansion that I'm there to help her and hold her up and I'm not going anywhere.
as a person that deals with anxiety and intrusive thoughts every day, i can really relate to these lyrics. i stay in my room all day and listen to music. i don’t want anyone to know about the stuff i’m going through because i feel like they’ll hate me, and think i’m weird. that they will never wanna be around me again. i wish the best for anyone who’s like me. it’s a tough time but some moments are worth living. i also dealt with suicidal thoughts so i could end all the pain happening to me, but i was just causing the pain myself. now i understand that. if you’re going through anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts ETC. all pray for you. it’s gonna be alright :).
It would be cool if Hopsin and NF did some sort of collaboration. A rap conversation would be cool, like they go back in forth in verses, illmind linked up with some therapy sounds like it could be special
First time I heard this (right after it was released) it all hit me so hard... I was a youth pastor at the time. I wrote a sermon series, playing one verse each week The mansion is your mind. Verse/Week 1. Living room of pain - the place you let people in. You get hurt, abused, neglected . Room of pain. Deal with ange, etc.. Stage set up: couch. A white wall behind it with words written in grey like pain, anger, abuse, neglect, rape... Skit element: father and son arguing, dad yelling that his son is worthless. Resolution is to forgive others. When you forgive you set a prisoner free, just to realize the prisoner was you. (Lewis B Smedes) 2. Bedroom of regrets - The room you rarely let anyone in. It's the personal space. Where you hide your secrets, sins, mistakes, and deep self hatred. You try to paint over your mistakes, but they show through the paint. It doesn't fix it. Stage design: bed and desk. Wall now has words written in red: mistakes, sin, lies, etc. While preaching try to paint over with thinned white paint, but still shows through paint. Skit: pre-recorded monologue of a girl's thoughts of regrets while she acts it out, compares herself in a mirror to a magazine, acts out cutting herself, etc. Resolution is to accept God's forgiveness and forgive yourself. 3. Basement of fear - you locked yourself in to avoid things. You thought you were escaping from fear but then realized you locked fear in. You want to escape but you're afraid. Stage design: single Edison light bulb hanging over an old grey steel chair. Wall has FEAR written in black. Skit: I wore a straight jacket while preaching. Someone in all black robe and hood walking behind me. Argue with myself about staying there or breaking free. Resolution: trust God and allow God and love to overcome fear. Open imaginary door to someone in all white robe and hood, who sets me free from fear and straight jacket. Conclusion: a man has a nice mansion but loses his job. Over time he can't care for house and it becomes dilapidated and in major disrepair. Eventually he had to foreclose. A man comes to buy the house and pays what it would be worth had it been perfect. He then rebuilds the house, makes it better than it ever had been. Improved it. Turns out he was the original builder of the home and knew it better than anyone. After remodeling he goes to the man he bought it from and tells him that the house is his, and he gives it back with the only condition that he, the builder, could live in it with him. We are the man, the mansion is our mind/heart. God is the buyer/builder/remodeler. He paid for our sins on the cross. He can heal the pain, wash away the regrets, and free you from fear. But he wants to live in your heart.
I love how NF put all his emotions,fear,anger....in his songs!!this song is sooo beautiful and sad at the same time.I LOVE IT!!!Thank you so much,Nate,for sharing ❤️
'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me' that resonates with me so much
sintija bro push through heaven know it’s gets better and the hope that it does has been keeping me alive. Just know you ain’t alone and never will be man we as a community, country, and world dog we are here for you so just don’t forget you’re not alone and things get better trust me. I know I’m a stranger but i don’t care if you hold on to the hope, the feelings man you come out of it a survivor like we all know you can.
Alot of people say depression is an easy thing to get over because they have never actually felt like hurting themselves day after day. I have been dealing with depression since i can remember... People say smiling fixes everything but the more i smile the more I hide the fact that I'm lonely. This song has represented everything that i feel along with a lot of other songs. Know that I think about it i have been depressed my whole life and not a day goes by that i want to hurt myself.
NFs music is a gift for me because he explains what is going through his head In this and I relate to it so if i need to talk to someone I talk a lot about his music because I struggle with talking about my mental health and music comes so easy for me to relate to, I constantly feel like I'm drowning and NF helps me stay afloat.
This is inspiring not only because I can relate to almost everything, except I was emotionally/mentally abused instead of physically to make me feel like I was a waste of space who shouldn't exist, but also because, despite everything he's gone through and the fear he feels has him trapped in his "house", he's still writing songs and making something of himself whereas I'm too afraid to try because I was only ever put down and told to shut up.
I can relate to your story, my dad has cancer, my parents make me feel like crap. i am trapped in the pain that im dealing with but the only thing that is moving me along is my friends.

True. I mean, I didn't go through this and hopefully no one who has to will have to do it any longer❤💔😔
You ok?
@@Elizabeth-lz5kc yeah, just became numb to everything
@@antsis lol do u mean any
@@whitneyjackson3637 Thx
I wanna give this man a hug. Nobody deserves this kind of pain.
I want to meet NF and give him a big hug. He needs it 😢
You're so right! 😩
more than a hug
He needs it? stop hiding your pain. you need one too.
"yo my mind is a house with walls covered in lyrics
they're all over the place, there's songs in the mirrors"
DAMN his songs always hit hard
this one literally wacks me in the gut with aluminum lyrics
H . O . P . E . Hold On Pain Ends
Edit: 10 likes and I'll tell you my story

@@mistwrath5957 lmao
where’s your story
We need to know
Soo...
This man is a role model, he speaks the language of the abused, he is real with us if not with himself. I write music because he inspired me not to hold back. I don’t know how many he’s inspired, but it’s a high number, but I’m sure he’s helped even more.
May you all find true happiness ,no matter how dark the road is. God love's you all.
Jonathan Rojas God loves you too
Thank you brother
I'm not christian I'm offended...
thank you brother give me strength i am smoking and drinking now but not too heavily
God never helped me.
3:44 is how I feel around people that I don't wanna lose from my trauma or my overthinking if I am annoying them with my problems or me "complaining" about my depression or if I am tired
Same
I remember when I was homeless at the age of 9 and I used to pretend I was just dreaming I eventually became mentally ill and missed out on most of my life, and missed having a chance to say goodbye to my brother before he went 😭
Im so sorry to hear that. May God Bless you and help u through everything :) U are Loved
@@awildtrubel it’s all ok. This moment of my life was pretty dark and the comment now makes me cringe a bit but that’s fine x-x
He's afraid to open the door to let people in at the same time he wants his fear to leave the house and to do so he has to open the door but again he's afraid to open the doors. Damn ❤️. One of the best tracks I heard in my life❤️. Perfect combination of anger and pain and sorrow and expression. 💯
I haven't lost my mom or anything, but I can relate to these lyrics. I'm always lost in my own head and kinda ignore everything unless it's important..
Same
same
same here
Same but every now and again I ignore important things that I really shouldn't
“Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried..” I’m so sorry man.
Man, or hurts so bad to listen to his songs. But I just can't stop! Ooooohhhhhhh, every time I listen to one, I see more and more the type of life he's had, like I understand the lyrics better the more I listen! Gosh it's just burns to hear, but I just can't stop!
Been through all of this... Only God can heal this... Sometimes we are taken to a place we don't want to see to be brought to a place we need to be... The testimony we have needs to be shared to help the next one out of the dark hole we have been in.
Its hard when you relate to most of the lyrics. Nobody knows how to help you. So to all the people who are struggling
I love you
Your beautiful
Let me be your shoulder to cry on
Let your feelings come out slowly, before they all flood out
Know your amazing
You are you
All genders are real
Every sexuality is Valid
Dont listen to them
Dont let yourself fail
Be yourself
Love yourself
Dont listen to those thoughts
Dont treat your skin like paper
You have so much to live for.
Just remember.
I love you for you, no matter who you are, you beautiful amazing stranger
Have a blessed day ❤️
Holy spirit, those songs of NF, just teach u what life really is, so inspiring, motivational and sometimes sad too. Those r things that i call real song.
“ I am lost in my own conscious.” I felt that💯
These lyrics are exactly how I feel.. but no one understands. They just hear noise
exactly :(
On my God same! My friends just look at me like I'm crazy. Then they start talking about there "problems" . There "problems" are like they forgot to do something or whatever . I always help them with there problems but when I'm telling them mine I'm better off talking to a wall because I can say "what did I just say?" And all I hear is silence .
i understand. i'm trapped in my mind too.
chocobo child ya same
...
Not only does NF make songs he telling us the reality of life through his songs and I love it, I also love how I relate to MOST of his songs.
People only miss you when your gone
That’s a quote
thats true
Haylee Webster ye I’m smart
@@damienananaanabanana they don't miss you, they miss the person that loved them so much they never had to love them back.
"Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in" I feel like that everyday, its normal to me. I can relate to almost all of these lyrics, its sad, I go to a theripist a lot, but it doesn't help, nothing really does.
i feel the same way
The word of God does help...listen to NF song, I'll Keep on ..with the scriptures and prayer, you'll keep on...Jesus is REAL
Jesus loves you He came to earth to save you and give you eternal lif and hope. Romans 6:23 (ESV): 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Same here unforchanatly, beeniie this forever and I don't think I'll find out how I cope in the future.
NF's songs will always leave me speechless, just his voice holds such power. One thing I like is that with NF's songs it doesn't seem as "angry" as it does "hurt", and because of that the song weighs so much more, at least to me. I admittedly haven't heard too many of his songs, but that's how I am with artists in general tbh. But with each one I hear it gives me chills. Something I love about each one I've heard so far is they all seem to talk from the inside's 'perspective', like in Intro III (unless the sort of fight is going on between him and a personification of something he's addressed as other than just himself and such) it doesn't relate much outside experience, and I find that sometimes the inside is where most of the conflict is. This song captures it beautifully and NF always will do that.
NF is the mos talented rapper i know, he´s just amazing and i hope he keeps fighting and eventualy win over his demons
@@TN-ue4jr same

K rino is a good artist too
This is probably the MOST real music I've heard in ages! The sad thing is so many of us can relate. Only musician that can bring me to tears
*that picture ain’t blurry at all i just dont want to see it*
I always change physically abused to s3xually abused so that it feels more personal. This song helps me let out my emotions so much. I rarely ever talk about how I truly feel. Thank you so much Nate. You are one of the few reasons I am not back in the hospital again.
If you need to talk I will listen. I love you.
@@yourenotalone6583 Thank you
Hang in there love, you're not alone. Hugs
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years
I built the safe room and I don't let no one in there
'Cause if I do, there's a chance that they might disappear and not come back
And I admit I am emotionally scared to let anyone inside
So I just leave my doors locked
You might get other doors to open up but this door's not
'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me
And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me
I'm barricaded inside so stop watching
I'm not coming to the door so stop knocking, stop knocking
I'm trapped here, God keeps saying I'm not locked in
I chose this, I am lost in my own conscience
I know that shutting the wall down ain't solving the problem
But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
I built it because I thought that it was safer in there
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's living in here
Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in
Maybe that's the problem 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did
He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in
Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
'Cause in order to do that I'd have to open the doors
Is that me or the fear talking?
I don't know anymore
As a minister, mentor, and counselor, I love your music, I share your music. Thank you for your transparency. Prayers for you, your family, and all those who struggle daily. May the Lord continue to use you to touch, heal, and save lives. God Bless You.🙏🏾
That might be one of the greatest hooks I've heard.
Mental health is literally the only thing I've been struggling with other than being able to get my self confidence back
I love this song so much. He’s amazing. I just got a tattoo that says “ broken legs, but I chase perfection”. ❤️
I didnt ohh😒😒
The bible says that you should not mark your skin
Cool!
@Timm Wilczynski yea do what you want! If you wanna have a tattoo because this song means a lot to you or you just like it go ahead!
Nothings perfect in this world ,why Chase it , just be u, great,
song tho
It's amazing how well you put into words what's in my head and I what I've been through. Thank you for doing what I couldn't. It helps so very much to be able to listen and sing along.
I can relate to some of the the feelings he had NF's music has helped me a lot throw the dark time and then I remembered that someone else has it much more worse so I just wanted to say you guys are stronger than you know
You are loved❤️
I love nf this song particularly. This song describes what I went through and going through still.
my mind is a home im trapped in...i felt that
Struggling with my religion and these lyrics describe it perfectly. I lost my parents suddenly in a car accident right before thanksgiving of 22. Before that I lost my brother to a car accident in high school. I feel so conflicted on believing that this all was supposed to happen. PTSD, grief, anxiety and depression hit me so hard and this song and others help so much. Thank you for making relatable songs and showing us your life regardless if it’s pretty or not. 🖤
"Broken legs but i chase perfection"
That hit diferently...
“Broken legs but I chase perfection“
This song hits way too hard. Really puts tears on my face I can't lie
NF is my favorite kind of music. Spoken word poems that don’t need music but use it anyway. Charged with so much more genuine emotion than any other art form could ever hope to convey. Talking about insecurities and flaws and the problems that plague and have plagued the artist. People relate. People *understand*. People learn that they’re not alone. That there are people out there just as messed up as them and that’s alright because, through this, we are in it together. Through this, we can flip on a song and relate to someone that understands the intricacies of our issues and, even if they can’t solve them, we can be together in them.
NF and his music are just so relatable
"I'm not coming to the door so stop knocking, stop knocking i'm trapped here"
this song hits close, i was verbally, mentally, emotionally and somewhat close to physically abused by my ex step dad for at least 2 years, i think its so sad that he releases these sort of songs and people dont take them seriously. it hits close to home and i hope that people are able to realise how much emotion and pain he puts into these songs
The metaphors in this are amazing. I love this. This was written beautifully.
This gave me chills
I love how it says "is it me or the fear talking?" Just like how it says that in intro III but this time he says "I dont know anymore" instead of "what a dumb question" like before
that's tough bro, I lived 25 years by myself because both my parents died during a car accident and I didn't know what to do. My childhood was hard and my life was tough but you have to know that life is a series of challenges and on the other side waits the ultimate prize. I tried to sucide multiple times but remember that ur life, no one can put a price on, ur life has meaning and if it didn't, u wouldn't be here. Tough times become just a memory that will pass by but good times are the ones that will cherish others and you. so Hold on, pain ends.
if this gets 100 likes ill tell my whole story
Sucide?
DS Reaper welp. Get this man 100 likes
Stay strong for me please 🙏 I'm praying for you💘
think about it all the time just trying to cope and say, im hear for something its just real hard to find out what that is, my favorite quote "if your going through hell just keep going" - Winston Churchill
I love you all this helped so much ik you dont know me and idk you but thank you and also thats my fav song bc its the best
You left out the best part! After he spits fire the whole song, the ending is the saddest when he repeatedly says..."it's lonely...lonely...inside this mansion"
"I regret the fact that I struggled trying to find who I am". Shit hits
"Broken legs but I chase perfection" These lyrics seen to relate to my situation the most, but it was a hard choice. This is because my mother always says my father stole money from her... and it seems that's all she cares about. That and other men. She takes her anger out on me for both me and my father, which is similar to breaking my legs, cause having your own mother beat you as a child hurts both mentally and physically. I seem to be pushed towards perfection because she always wants me to have this doll-like smile it seems. I feel like she makes it almost impossible to reach or even chase perfection because all she's done has made it harder to get closer to perfection while that's the only thing she wants me to do. The only thing that will make it stop. I have a similar coping mechanism to this composer. I make up stories in my head that seem to almost cover the memories another reference to the line that refers to not trying to fix walls but trying to repaint. I feel like the walls, of course, is my mind and the paint are these stories and words that seem to be the only thing that I have and my only escape. I sometimes feel like when she beats me, I'm not present. I'm running through my mind. Happy. Smiling to make her stop, not because I did what she asked but because I'm almost blinded by fake memories of happiness.
Hope that one day everything will be better, but having a hard time makes u realise what not to do and u will be an amazing person bc of it, it's not okay and it should stop but remember that you're a better person then her and who ever is treating you bad, i believe you're a really good person and u really are even tho i don't know you, i know u are❤
We're here for ya. I am for sure.
Thats deep ....
bro your family needs help if thats real
You guys are so nice lol, my family has started seeing a therapist and it's gotten a bit better. Thanks :)
when you have everyone, family, lover...but you feel lonely.... none of them understands you, demotivates, mocks you, never let you to follow your dreams and never supports you.... A lover who says she loves me, but hardly spends time with me and doesn't even wants to let me go. Broke.... Working for A job that has no career path.... What am i doing with my life... I dont know. Depressed.... Failed trying suicide
dont give up, say it and talk to other people, make new good friends.
We are here for you, you always can talk to me on discord too ( my user is Xmas_foox#0566 )
and everything i say, i mean it!
you are awesome and even if i dont know you. its true. dont think bad about yourself please
Damn bro. Keep it up. Dont let anyone take you down. Youre the best hip/hop rapper out there. I also appreciate that you send youre story to millions which is really hard. Keep it up. Never give up. Carry on in life.❤❤
Like almost everyone who loves NF we all have one connection we are all his songs and he sings our feelings to make us feel like good and all I want to say is “thank you NF thank you” I will always remember these songs
"Fear came to my house years ago, I let him. And that the problem I've been dealing with him ever since. I thought that he would leave but it's obvious he never did. He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in.
Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win. Or put him back outside where came from but I never can. Cause in ordered to do that I'd have to open the doors. Is that me or the fear talkin' I don't know anymore"
Powerful. I get chills everytime I hear that part.
I find security in these songs. Amazing music Nate.
My best friend of 2-3 years recently passed away in May, NF was his favorite artist and this was his favorite song. Listening to it by myself now hurts, but i know this kept him going and made him fight as hard as he could. Unfortunately he was just too tired to keep fighting, i’m sorry I didn’t do anything, but I thank you for letting me inside to meet the true you ❤️ I miss and love you everyday
Damn this song is the only song I have ever heard that really speaks truth like this. I'm crying and I can relate so much to this song. Another great hit by NF.
"it's lonely... So lonely... Inside this mansion"
Thank you for putting this to lyrics.
This is one of several songs that are on a playlist of mine that I put on when I need to cry and release.
I feel like a lot of the negative people leave your life for a reason.... they KNOW they aren't any good. And if they want whats best for you. They won't stay. For that reason, they want YOU to be happy! Be greatful the bad once walk away..
My experience is they only leave after they realize they can't leach of ya any longer and there's that one person in life you can't seem to cut loose no matter the damage they're causing
I lost someone that was my best friend for a long time bc i made a mistake that he wasnt able to forgive. And from then on he blamed me for the reason he always felt down, adding to my guilt and sadness and he is always name calling me, but no matter how much he is being rude to me i cant seem to be able to let go and i am dieing inside, its hurts so much. And alot of my friends are hurting each other over stupid things and i am always trying to stop them, its becoming a big burden, its been about a whole month that they have been hurting each other and me being the trying to help. But i will keep looking forward and praying to God for help and guidance. No matter what u are going through God will help you get you through it. U ask for wisdom He gives you problems to solve, you ask for strength, He gives you challenges to overcome, You ask for Love and He gives you troubled people to help, and you ask for courage and He gives you danger to overcome.
"see my problem is I don't fix thing,
I try to repaint, cover em up, like it never happened'."
Felt that.
Who am I kidding? I felt this whole song so hard, now I'm in pain.
The way music was meant to be felt
This song makes me feel like he is narrating my my mind. It's nice to know your not the only with these feels 💯💯💯 respect
This song is so power, and I got goosebumps when listening to the lyrics
My best friend sent me this song to describe her now, I wish she knew she didn't have to be lonely in her mansion that I'm there to help her and hold her up and I'm not going anywhere.
Nf u r bad ass and super talented! ..keep the faith. U will rise above.
as a person that deals with anxiety and intrusive thoughts every day, i can really relate to these lyrics. i stay in my room all day and listen to music. i don’t want anyone to know about the stuff i’m going through because i feel like they’ll hate me, and think i’m weird. that they will never wanna be around me again. i wish the best for anyone who’s like me. it’s a tough time but some moments are worth living. i also dealt with suicidal thoughts so i could end all the pain happening to me, but i was just causing the pain myself. now i understand that. if you’re going through anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts ETC. all pray for you. it’s gonna be alright :).
It would be cool if Hopsin and NF did some sort of collaboration. A rap conversation would be cool, like they go back in forth in verses, illmind linked up with some therapy sounds like it could be special
I absolutely adore the vocals on this song-
Great song! You can hear he's gotten even better in the last 3 years!!
Thank you Nate for another relatable song- Your lyrics and life is powerful.
This song gets really personal. NF is honestly one of the greatest rappers around.
This is one of the rare songs I connect to completely. All the lyrics match exactly how I feel
First time I heard this (right after it was released) it all hit me so hard... I was a youth pastor at the time. I wrote a sermon series, playing one verse each week
The mansion is your mind.
Verse/Week
1. Living room of pain - the place you let people in. You get hurt, abused, neglected . Room of pain. Deal with ange, etc.. Stage set up: couch. A white wall behind it with words written in grey like pain, anger, abuse, neglect, rape... Skit element: father and son arguing, dad yelling that his son is worthless. Resolution is to forgive others. When you forgive you set a prisoner free, just to realize the prisoner was you. (Lewis B Smedes)
2. Bedroom of regrets - The room you rarely let anyone in. It's the personal space. Where you hide your secrets, sins, mistakes, and deep self hatred. You try to paint over your mistakes, but they show through the paint. It doesn't fix it. Stage design: bed and desk. Wall now has words written in red: mistakes, sin, lies, etc. While preaching try to paint over with thinned white paint, but still shows through paint. Skit: pre-recorded monologue of a girl's thoughts of regrets while she acts it out, compares herself in a mirror to a magazine, acts out cutting herself, etc. Resolution is to accept God's forgiveness and forgive yourself.
3. Basement of fear - you locked yourself in to avoid things. You thought you were escaping from fear but then realized you locked fear in. You want to escape but you're afraid. Stage design: single Edison light bulb hanging over an old grey steel chair. Wall has FEAR written in black. Skit: I wore a straight jacket while preaching. Someone in all black robe and hood walking behind me. Argue with myself about staying there or breaking free. Resolution: trust God and allow God and love to overcome fear. Open imaginary door to someone in all white robe and hood, who sets me free from fear and straight jacket.
Conclusion: a man has a nice mansion but loses his job. Over time he can't care for house and it becomes dilapidated and in major disrepair. Eventually he had to foreclose. A man comes to buy the house and pays what it would be worth had it been perfect. He then rebuilds the house, makes it better than it ever had been. Improved it. Turns out he was the original builder of the home and knew it better than anyone. After remodeling he goes to the man he bought it from and tells him that the house is his, and he gives it back with the only condition that he, the builder, could live in it with him.
We are the man, the mansion is our mind/heart. God is the buyer/builder/remodeler. He paid for our sins on the cross. He can heal the pain, wash away the regrets, and free you from fear. But he wants to live in your heart.
I love how NF put all his emotions,fear,anger....in his songs!!this song is sooo beautiful and sad at the same time.I LOVE IT!!!Thank you so much,Nate,for sharing ❤️
This is my favorite song of all time
Unreal music loved him for over 3 years, Who else excited love this Legend.
Dope af these artists are really letting it go now a days 💪💪👏🤘👆
This is every broken person's anthem. Bring light to the darkness inside our minds.
'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me
And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me'
that resonates with me so much
God gives the best people the hardest obstacles because he knows they are the people who are strong enough to get through them.
been sleepin in for the past 7 years.
You've kept going. I am so proud of you because i don't know how to do that anymore.
Better wake up late than not at all
sintija bro push through heaven know it’s gets better and the hope that it does has been keeping me alive. Just know you ain’t alone and never will be man we as a community, country, and world dog we are here for you so just don’t forget you’re not alone and things get better trust me. I know I’m a stranger but i don’t care if you hold on to the hope, the feelings man you come out of it a survivor like we all know you can.
That hook! Wow.
I love him so much. It would be a dream come true to gn o to a concert
Go*
He's amazing to see live tbh
Thank you NF
2019 and still jamming
Alot of people say depression is an easy thing to get over because they have never actually felt like hurting themselves day after day. I have been dealing with depression since i can remember... People say smiling fixes everything but the more i smile the more I hide the fact that I'm lonely. This song has represented everything that i feel along with a lot of other songs. Know that I think about it i have been depressed my whole life and not a day goes by that i want to hurt myself.
This song gives me chills
“I should stop now , I don’t have enough room for this song”
I’m damn there cried
NFs music is a gift for me because he explains what is going through his head In this and I relate to it so if i need to talk to someone I talk a lot about his music because I struggle with talking about my mental health and music comes so easy for me to relate to, I constantly feel like I'm drowning and NF helps me stay afloat.
When he said he lost his mom, I'm sure he meant physically, but I feel I have lost my mom mentally. So these lyrics hit deep.
This is inspiring not only because I can relate to almost everything, except I was emotionally/mentally abused instead of physically to make me feel like I was a waste of space who shouldn't exist, but also because, despite everything he's gone through and the fear he feels has him trapped in his "house", he's still writing songs and making something of himself whereas I'm too afraid to try because I was only ever put down and told to shut up.
I can relate to your story, my dad has cancer, my parents make me feel like crap. i am trapped in the pain that im dealing with but the only thing that is moving me along is my friends.
