This song helped me realize that sometimes you have to kill a dream. And it sucks. But there may come a point when killing that dream is better and smarter than holding onto it
Especially when the dream turns into a nightmare. Sometimes you have to understand yourself and your shadow this completely before you're truly ready to let go.
The sorrow and despair in this song perfectly sum up the feeling I had after my last relationship ended. The truth In these these words ring truer and truer the older I get... here's to those of us holding on by a thread...
I'm definitely hanging by my own thread. NiN has been a constant in my life. The importance of Trent's music is huge for me. I'm 40 next month and since I was 13 I have had this music when it felt like I had nothing else that mattered...
That's not true ..trent has found love and happiness . I think you set the bar too high on happiness and piece of mind..who in their right mind is at happiness or has peace of mind forever...and who ever meant for you to have happiness and peace? Doesn't mean you can find it on your own through hard work and sacrifice
I have found love and I'm so lucky but sadly I have anxiety disorder and panic disorder I think happiness and peace of mind are impossible to reach, is not about finding the love of your life, it's about being capable to love yourself enough to make it work. In my nothing he means everything to me...
For those who know, this song is perfect for a killer. Most people don’t understand that dimension of existence, with hidden messages in everything. But this is one of the most healing songs for someone who’s had to take a life.
This songs describes perfectly how i feel after the last woman in my life left after me fucking things up as usual. The lyrics hit home like no other song I know and go straight to the soul untainted and unfiltered. Thank you Trent, not too many understand but u do sir
We've all been there I tried intentionally overdosing off heroin booze and pills ..i tell people it wasn't intentional but in the back of my mind I knew I was going to die . somehow my mother had an eerie feeling of silence and caught me literally dead and turning blue and luckily had paramedics responding to a minor accident around block enough for them to get narcan into me..woke up vomiting on them with piss all over my pants..waking up in full withdrawal isn't fun either the coldness feels like a new York winter storm laying in snow naked
Me, though it was a lot of pills, that completely fucked me up but failed to kill me... Fuck those pills legitimately... That pain, man... It hurts us all like a knife in a hard place. But they keep abandoning me like it ain’t gonna happen again like I’m just gonna get more fucked up and not hurt myself in another more effective way. This is actually spoken from the heart... And, by the way the last you will hear me not being in character.
So glad you finally found some semblance of happiness and peace ..you will have phases that could be even harder than the darkest time but never give up
This too is a dark time in My life... Thank You Nine Inch Nails. Thank You Trent Reznor for keeping Me strong. I'm "NOT" to be here today. I'm giving up.
i feel like this song gives me exactly what i need right now. im not ready to let go yet and this will take a lot of time, still. you were a part of my life for 2 whole years - every day. i made the mistake and deserve the state im in right now, but it just feels so wrong without you. everything feels wrong and worthless right now. when you were gone it felt like you took away the last bit of happiness i could ever experience. i am sorry i hurt you so bad. i am sorry i was not the right person. take this experience and run far away from me, as far as possible, just as the song states it. even though i reach out for you, and still will, every fucking day. even though i wait for a message. for one sign of life from you - i just hope you are happier now. i hope you get to experience a lot better relationships, a lot better love i couldnt give you. after all, i have the feeling i am just too tired of everything to give that love back to, whoever or whatever will come in the future. what i know though: all of this was real. you made me feel real for the time we existed and a "us" existed. and i am truly grateful for that. i love you, as much as i am still capable of that feeling. please, maybe, sometimes, even if for just a second, remember that about us. remember how we watched tv shows together while cuddling, remember how we played games, travelled together or just spent our 1 year anniversary together. these years and memories will stay with me until i die. and none of this will ever leave my heart and soul. i love you so much.
These are my exact thoughts except it was 15 years. In my nothing she meant everything to me. Now I am truly nothing. I cried reading your words because I feel the same. I wish I had words of encouragement but I don't. Hope is dead. All is lost. And all that could have been is over. Run far away....I am tainted and I always was. I'm so sorry.
@@trentrossdale638 im so sorry to hear that. lets try to grow from it the best we can and take all the time we need. there will be better times again, im sure, just never forget what shaped you to be the person you are now. thats whats important i think. my comment is 3 months old now but there are still always days i cant help but to come back to those thoughts. cant imagine how it must be for you - but you will get through it, i am sure of it. :)
I should have followed through with what I was going to do when Dad died. I regret that I was not strong enough to follow through then. It would of saved My life. To late now.
This song achieves the feat of being NIN darkest song. This song is not heard, it is FELT. It describes a feeling that you only know, if you know.
Pretty Hate Machine is my favorite album but this is definitely my favorite song of theirs
I know
Wtf
⅞] you
I know narcissistic abuse cycle
This song helped me realize that sometimes you have to kill a dream. And it sucks. But there may come a point when killing that dream is better and smarter than holding onto it
What dream did you kill?
😞 this really sucks man..how are you?
Pure truth, that.
Well put sir

And the thread is frayed......

hope you’re doing better dustin
@ghilas6928 thanks for the kind words wish I could say I am but unfortunately going down the same river in the same boat....
That's the most accurate lyric video of this song that I have seen so far. Good job :)
Thank you very much :)
Happiness and peace of mind were never meant for me. For some of us its just fact. Not sad.. Not tragic.. And nothing to cry about. Just fact.
That's not true ..trent has found love and happiness . I think you set the bar too high on happiness and piece of mind..who in their right mind is at happiness or has peace of mind forever...and who ever meant for you to have happiness and peace? Doesn't mean you can find it on your own through hard work and sacrifice
@@absentiabenertia5204 it's not worth it, all that hard work and sacrifice
Man, I wish I could take this serious, but the fact part just looks like a meme.
I have found love and I'm so lucky but sadly I have anxiety disorder and panic disorder I think happiness and peace of mind are impossible to reach, is not about finding the love of your life, it's about being capable to love yourself enough to make it work. In my nothing he means everything to me...
Lack of feelings wouldn't of created this song
There is hope yet if you're reading this.
Hope is dead.
For those who know, this song is perfect for a killer. Most people don’t understand that dimension of existence, with hidden messages in everything. But this is one of the most healing songs for someone who’s had to take a life.
You're right I hadn't thought about that but it fits quite well
I've cried my heart out to this song hits hard everytime
i dedicate this to my daughters mom.

All that could have been still could be , and thanks, Trent for such a lovely bridge that I ALMOST JUMPED OFF... lol but I'm not kidding

This was such a dark time in my life...thank you to every thing that kept me strong. I am happy to be here today and glad I didnt give up living.....

Gosh...I’ve done so much super dark shit to myself almost to death while listening to this on repeat years ago.. I’m a bit better now though!
Love this song
