I feel like some parents feel that when their child are expressing that they are sad or feel bad, it's a personal attack on them and their parenting ! Like " Oh ! My child says they're miserable, that means that I'm a bad parent...but I'm a great parent ! How dare they be sad when I'm trying my best !" the thing is it's not an attack..just a cry for help...
Yeah my dad told me "I dont know where i went wrong with you" i think he also said "Why are you depressed theres kids STARVING out there and there happier than you."
@@atlandfrisk omg I hate that! My mom has told me and my brother multiple times that "There are kids who wished they had as much as yall do". Like yeah I feel bad for those kids but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have bad emotions 😭
honestly every time i listen to this song i think back to being in high school, when my school counselors had to force my parents to let me get therapy bc my parents didn’t think my problems were “bad enough” to be worth the “shame” of getting help…..really glad i started standing up for myself after i started university
Bro every Vocaloid song is an actual bop. Maretu is really really talented, and all of their songs are so nice to listen to and always give me some kind of chill. I really recommend Pinocchio-p's songs, like Common World Domination. I'm really excited to see how this video turned out since SIU was my first Maretu song, and was close to my first Vocaloid song ever.
The first MARETU song i’ve ever listened to was White Happy (i strongly recommend listening to it if you haven’t) Mind brand and SIU were the second ones
@@onlitolcatfeet the first time I heard of Vocaloid I thought it was going to be very… wel how do I say it, kid friendly? I basically just excepted some cute anime like songs. Ofc there are also very nice friendly songs like electric angel! (And a lot of other ones) but wow was I not expecting this- But I don’t at all regret trying it out! I honestly thought I wouldn’t like it but I really do!
Yeah, agreed. At first i thought i was only only gonna end up liking like 1-3 songs and never end up getting moved by any of them, but ended up liking the entire genre and a lot of producers and felt a deep connection with a lot of song as well. But i don’t regret a single thing!
I feel like SIU can be relateable to everyone, and I think to marginalized groups most, and young people. Or just generally the selfishness we live in through late-stage capitalism that feeds people selfishness. "You're just jealous" "You're being ungrateful" an excuse to undermine someones concerns or points. To disregard their emotions as legitimate. "This person shouldn't have been born." -> I "Why did you let this child be born?" Which can be, as I see it: Why did you let "broken people" be born? (disabled people, neurodivergent people, people of color, mentally ill people, etc.) "This person can't function in a broken world, they shouldn't have been born, put them down already, they're not even human. Survival of the fittest, they're weak, they're broken, they're sick, they're useless. They don't look right. They're disgusting. They're subhuman." another interpretation can ALSO be -> why did you let someone so ungrateful, be born?" (Why would you challenge me? I'm your parent, you should be grateful I even fed and raised you. Which is a real thing said to people who speak out about their abusive parents or just parents who birthed children to be the spitting image of them and not a person.) I pick specifically this lyric because no matter in any which way you spin it it can relate to many experiences, many pains. Maretu is really a gift that keeps on giving.
My favorite aspect of this song is how the sound can be mocking and bitter as well as sad and wistful. Also the words "suck it up" sounds like my parents 😀👍 our experiences cannot be compared, know that your problems are vailid, and ditch all those who say otherwise
Reminds me of when I told my doctor that I was having negative thoughts and suicidal thoughts. I remember my mother being mad at me for doing so because then she had to take me to therapy (which lasted for a couple months). That my issues were not enough to seek help. From then on she told be that I better tell the doctor that I was fine (I was a minor at the time so she was in the room with me during questioning). Her constant saying of her being a good mom, how lucky I was to have a mother like her but I soon realized this isn't how a mother should make her child feel. Helpless and alone. This song really speaks to me as I can see her saying these things. I know parents are human and make mistakes but damn did their actions sting badly.
im in ur place right now, except the fact that my parents still convincing me that im just thinking too much, its working. i mean i am aware but im just being led on, i cant do anything
If you ever wanna react to other songs by Maretu, I definitely recommend “Magical Doctor”, “Coin Locker Baby”, and “Darling”!😩🙏 Edit: ALSO, “Cheating is a Crime” by Takayan and “Candy and Chains” by Otetsu are absolute bangers 💪
I hope you're doing OK now Shooshi. To anyone who needs this: Your feelings are valid. Your experiences are valid. I know some words from a random internet stranger don’t really mean much, but I hope this helps. ❤
I live in a home where crying is seen as a weaknesses, and if your not physically injured you dont deserve to cry, i hate my family, they yell as someone whos crying because theyre "weak". My friends are the same way, anytime i vent to them they tell me "yeah well i have it worse, so stfu" so now ive gotten used to it. It doesnt help that on some of my venting videos people say "cringe" other things, i act like it doesn't bother me, but now i cant open up my emotions, to the point where my friends yell at me for "being a emotionless monster", im rambling.
Hope youre doing better- ik im very late to this comment but pls remember ur suffering is valid and you deserve to be cared and loved by other people Im not good at comforting people but uhh things will be ok, just always remember that
Something I realized about the lyrics saying 'suck it up' is that it keeps getting clearer and clearer, which this may sound far-fetched but I feel like it has relation with how we grow up and start realizing the problems we've had in the past and how we've had our feelings manipulated by the people in our environment (in this case, parents) and how it becomes clearer to us, that no, it never was healthy.
This song kind of reminds me of my grandma and mom. My grandma was against me being born. With my mom she had something that gave her pain everyday and she wouldn't believe that my body hurt when I was little or even now. °~°
I agree with everything you said. I feel like a lot of adults/parents/teachers are hard to talk to because they say like “oh you’re just a kid” or “there are starving kids in Africa” and it’s super invalidating. Just because others have it worse doesn’t mean you can’t have your own struggles. I was bullied when I was younger but i never talked about it until years after because I was convinced that I was overreacting and that’s just how friends were. It wasn’t. It wasn’t normal for “friends” to hit you everyday and force you to do things you were uncomfortable with. It’s truly a horrible feeling and it’s lonely. It makes you feel like you’re the problem when it’s okay to be upset. *Your feelings are valid. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.* I’m sorry you had to go through that experience and I hope you’re doing better now. Thank you for the kind message at the end. P.S. your outfit looks great today shoosh
Oh man I really love your interpretation lately I've been through shit, my parents have screwed me a lot, and when I sought professional help I was diagnosed with TLP (borderline) and my parents don't want to help me because I'm "fine", I'm not the worst And your words really punch my heart, thanks man
No problem. I make these videos and say these things specifically for people like you. I hope this’ll at least show you that you aren’t alone in your struggles. Keep fighting :,)
i personally think its about comparing trauma, basically the same as invalidating struggles though. as someone who compares my own trauma to other's in order to invalidate my own for not having it that bad and yet constantly complaining(which isnt true, and i know it but i still do it), i could relate heavily to it. like im in both roles. everyone's trauma is valid, doesnt matter if you experienced a pet dying, a sudden move, a single divorce, etc, its all equally traumatic, its all equally valid
@@noh8522 i don't like miku's voice that much,so i rather listen to actual singers like Miyashita,but for some reason i can't stand english covers or humans singing maretu's songs,or even vocaloid in general. Maretu is like the only case when i think the robotic voice is irreplaceable
@@beatrizx3159 yo SAME I'm not a fan of Hatsune Miku, I think a lot of Vocaloid producers make songs that simply don't fit her voice and make me prefer covers over the originals, but something about the way MARETU tunes Miku is just so irreplaceably fitting to his style of music and I love it.
@@MochYee that really makes me mad,sometimes the beat is amazing but the vocaloid voice sounds so off. Of course there are a lot of exeptions,where either the song and the voice fit or the voice don't sound too robotic. But about covers(mainly in english),i think the only one i like is that My R cover. One of my fav songs,Bitter Choco Decoration,imo doesn't sound half as good as in the original even when the cover is by Miyashita Yuu. I love him,but the feeling is not the same you know
I once went through this kinda stuff, where i feel bad just for experiencing struggle's in life and i kept thinking that if I'm feeling bad i should just hide it since it bothered people around me and that I'm not allowed to feel this type of things because everyone around isn't feeling bad and I'm just ruining the mood, so i always ran away somewhere to keep everything to myself and just suck it all up. Now i feel so fucked up just for doing that to myself.
Friends and family will often invalidate my feelings, whether it is physical or emotional pain they will tell me i’m fine and that I am over reacting. Even at the smallest things I’ll get so angry that I either get a massive headache or cry, I’ll get so sad that i’ll cry or forget about everything nice and think “am I good enough?” Or I’ll get so anxious that I feel sick to my stomach. I want you to know that you are valid your feelings are valid, you can feel how ever you want to feel and Remember you are all worth it. Also thank you shooshi for making your videos they help me a lot when I’m upset. I’m sorry for anything anyone has said to you to invalidate how you feel. Thank you.
Ok, now I just need to see the taste of cockroach or eraser girl, but this makes me happy nontheless, very happy. Also, I love how Maretu almost in all of his songs, he talks about problems on society or problems that people have, always makes you see them from a different pov, that's why Maretu is and probably always will be my favorite music creator.
I think adults forget that they have to listen and see when others have a problem because they think that since their an adult they have already learned it all, and been throught their own set of expeiriences. They just figure "well I was like that too and I'm still here." The thing is if that was the case there wouldn't be young people and children commiting su*side. What about the people who didn't make it? They probably felt they had to make that choice because no one listened or saw them. I recently had an expeoience just like this. My parents were telling me how I'm so lazy all the time. (i agreed with them beacause I totaly am, but like it's just a lack of motivation.) My mom brought up how I don't even leave my bed unless i have to eat, shower, or use the bathroom. (and shcool) And I was like "yup". Dad chimes in "so you never hang out with friends?" I say "no, none live nearby." And I basically said "I don't really have the motivation, or reason to leave my bed" But i recently noticed this isn't normal... "My friends live near eachother and they hang out." Then my dad says "Oh all teens are like that." I don't even go in the living room, unless there is a geust, which sometimes I pretend there isn't. Sometimes I don't even leave my room to eat, to the point to that I would be weak and shaking from hunger. I only recently realized this is called "isolation". I don't think self isolation is normal for any age but what do I know? Sorry for the long rant, just need to let of some steam. LOVE the vids man, keep it up. ❤❤❤
this song hits really close to home for me. i’m supposed to be in therapy and i was even sent to a crisis center by a doctor not too long ago which my mom bailed me out of before i could walk into the entrance. she belittled my feelings saying that people went through worse than me that she went through worse than me. it made me feel terrible.
When I listen to this song, it's lowkey relatable to point it made me cry just bit because like when I young kid, people who are much older and bigger always Said that to me all the time and it was hurtful with the bullying and awful things from a-holes happened to me back then but overall maretu is one of my favorite Artists and SIU is one of my favorite songs besides magical doctor also I recommend to reaction to either Magical Doctor, ENA, and Backrooms
I love this song bc of how much I can relate to it. Tho I don’t get my feelings dismissed by my family, my friends are the ones that do it. It’s like I’ll say something then they’ll be like, “omg be too” and then start ranting on about something. I know I’m kinda an a-hole for not listening to them but I didnt say it for you to make it about yourself. Even online I’ve been called “emo” if I say something even relatively “morbid” or “sad”. Like I’m not “emo” I’m just going through shit. It fucking sucks having ur feeling being reduced down to basically nothing, which is why when I vented to one of my friends to the first time I was surprised that they listened to what I had to say and didn’t shift the situation to themselves. It’s weird, bc of this mindset I have where nobody cares about my emotions bc in my head im telling myself “ur just being over dramatic”, “no one’s gonna listen anyway”, or “any other thing people can use to make you seem like ur crazy” I guess I just stop talking about my feelings bc I just didn’t think they were important? I just realized I went on a whole rant here so sorry about that. :/
God I freaking LOVE Maretu. I really recommend the song, “Before I was born” the way he uses metal with chip tune together in that song was so perfect.
Ah yes more MARETU songs! Glad to see you reacting to more of his work! A great video for sure! The imagery itself a lot of people say are two parents over a child’s crib btw!
I can relate to this song. Not in a "other people invalidate my emotions and struggles" way, but a lot more in a "I ignore my struggles because it's not as bad as others'". I have this voice in my head that keeps telling me "What if you ask for medical help and it turns out there's nothing wrong?" "You'd be ignoring others' sadness if you talked about yours." "Stop crying like you're the main character." "You've been through nothing compared to others!"
5:05 i think that this part is the comments of the writer to the parent. “If you’re blaming your kid for everything and making they’re life a living hell, why did you bring them to this world?” Kind of thing. That’s at least how I see it. Also this may be a stretch but the line “press your hands together to pray for the hanging corpse” makes me think that this is the story about a parent who invalidated the feeling of their kid, and completely disregarded their mental health, which led to the kid ending their own life (therefore “praying” after finding their kid’s body). So the line that says something like “why did you decide to end your joke only now” possible refers to the fact that the parent only believed their kid’s feeling when it was too late.
Miyashita Yuu's cover of this and Unknown Mother Goose always ends up in most of my playlists LOL You for real gotta check out his cover of Unknown Mother Goose - it'll blow you away
At 5:40 it says "pray for the hanging corpse". I think that the kid that was being belittled ended up hanging themselves because the person singing refused to see their problems as anything serious, which shows the devastating effect of being told "so many people have it worse than you"
I don't know if anyone already pointed that out in the comments but In this song in the start and ending you can hear heart beats. In the start the heart beats are fast, wich may indicate stress, anxiety And at the end the heart beats slows wich may indicate death If you don't believe me search for the instrumental I also had a hard time being able to hear it Basicaly I think it's about parents putting their child to so much pressure and abuse and anxiety then invalidating the child feelings, trauma and experiences by telling them to suck it up and other things wich makes the child more and more anxious, frustrated with no way to cope that either the child dies from stress or take out their own life.
Hey, shooshi, I love your videos. Your the reason that I am now safe. You have genuinely saved a life, please know this. Trigger warning for the following story. Ever since I was a kid, my grandmother(who I call Nana) , of whom I lived with, was very very abusive. Physically, verbally, and neglectfully. I never got the correct clothing sizes, I has never given affection other than money, I was hit when I had the slightest mishap, and when I would tell her I was sad this vocaloid describes what she would tell me, and I never knew until this year that it was not normal and not okay. Shooshi, I hope you are okay and that you live happily. I will always support you and your videos, and I'm going to be getting more streaming/video apps and social medias, so I will be both following your socials and promoting your channels/videos, such as. And on any twitch stream I find of yours(when I get twitch), I'll be donating money. Hope everything is good with you right now and your living a good healthy life.
I view it as the child screaming the words to mock the adults and saying „suck it up“ and telling them how much it hurts by their tone. The image looks to me like two people praying to a casket and I think it might be the final achievement of what the child wanted, validation. When the child sucked it up until they became the hanging corpse the adult put their hands together for „the person with the worst life“
I honestly can relate to this and a lot of other people too even some adults can as well. For me it hurts me a lot especially when it's from my own parents who tell me that I CAN tell me about my problems and don't have to hide it but when I do my mom will say "I don't have time to deal with you right now" or "Stop that, you're not really sad, you're 'fine' you just want attention" which causes things to just get worse and if I do get the chance to say anything it's always her saying and reminding me that others have it a lot worse and she has it worse as well and that my problems aren't such a big thing causing me to feel guilty. It doesn't help that I've been diagnosed with crippling depression and intense anxiety along with ptsd which causes me to over think things more and get even more intense feelings that will cause me to have anxiety attacks/ panic attacks. It could be also that older adults come from a different time where they were really forced to actually keep inside and if they didn't they'd get in trouble for it and if a child is raised like that they could teach there child how to do that as well without meaning to, either way you shouldn't tell a child to suck it up or be little there feelings even though the problem can seem not that serious but for them at that moment it is for them and it's best to just respect it and let them feel that way for a while comforting them in doing so other than telling them to suck it up or that's just life. Although that's how life is that doesn't mean you should take it all on your own because we are human, we weren't meant to take on everything, we were meant to ask for help when we feel we absolutely need it and feel like we will break if we don't. I have friends now that don't be little me even if my guardians do, but even though I do the scars and trauma and being raised with not really any parent figure can linger still and make me feel like I'm alone or if I do something I'll be judged, abandon, no one will love me for me causing myself to have trust issues, clinginess, separation anxiety, abandonment problems to the point where I'll go into a panic attack and my friends will have to remind me that I'm okay now and not alone because they won't leave me nor be little me for feeling a way and accept me for still having a mind like a little kid still do to not having such a proper childhood so the memories I get now help make up a little bit from my past and my friends help me learn the things I didn't learn when I was younger due to reasons. Just know that everyone's feelings are valid and everyone handles things differently and deals with situations differently, that doesn't mean we should be little it especially if you know you wouldn't want someone to do the same and would hurt if they do.
I recommend melty land nightmare I think is an amazing (and addicting)song or anything from haruhaki I think his songs are cool and I haven't seen a lot of people talk abt it :D
I’ve had my parents belittle, mock and look down on me for any sign of struggle or hurt I face. They treat mental illness like it’s a joke and have never taken any of my struggles dealing with my mental problems seriously which only has continued to worsen them.
This is the first time I know the lyrics since I have heard the song and from first impression, the meaning a grasped is generational trauma in a family. The mother doesn't know the pain she's giving to their child due to the fact they themselves don't know their own pain. Maybe its something they experienced in the past so they can't understand what is wrong with how they are as a mother. They've been told to suck it up, and now they're the one telling their child to just suck them up. "No, are things enough like this? Or is it not to your liking"
when I first found this song I immediately thought of sexual assault and this song became a comfort song of mine since I had been through sexual assault from two different people. Then I found this video and found the true meaning! I’m glad I found the true meaning.
My mom does this, ALOT! When I open up or try to get help or feel sad, my mom is always bringing up other peoples lives and compares me to other people and it makes me feel like shit. And then she always says "why are you even here if you're so sad and complaining all the time and it's so fucking frustrating. I just wished she'd understand my feelings for once.
It would be nice to see you react to Hollowness by Minami. It's really a banger and so emotional along with the singer singing it with the perfect atmosphere.
That line. “You’re not a b- . You’re just human” That hit hard to home. I always invalidate my feelings, bc I don’t actually have a reason to be like that. Even if I do have a reason, I don’t feel deserving of help, or I don’t think that the reason is enough to make me feel like that bc “suck it up”. I always compare my problems/feelings with others and I always come up with the same. Im just self-victimising for attention. They have a reason, they have experiences, they have memories. I don’t even know why I’m suddenly upset sometimes. I’m just dumb. I feel stupid while talking to others. I feel annoying. Everytime I vent to someone, they give me some kind of solutions. I don’t want solutions rn. I want affection to feel a little better. I want love. I want to feel loved. It’s that much to ask? my brain says that it is
If u want to say anything here, I can listen :> I don't think affection is too much to ask for, since everyone, unless they did something hideous like SA or something, is deserving of love and affection
@@imaddictedtobread thanks man, its rlly nice seeing how ppl on the internet, strangers, support each other. This whole month has been completely harsh, i rlly appreciate ur words
Thank you for listening to MARETU's songs〜🥰 By the way, the logotype of this song's thumbnail is pictograph of God(神 in kanji).His songs always make us surprised n excited👀✨
Bro ur the best i'm literally watching this as my parents fight i always thought that i don't have the right to cry or complain cause other people are going throught worse i even skip meals and don't ask for anything i don't need, i was insecure cause i felt like i was useless and i didn't deserve to be alive and happy people constantly say that i should be more considerate,nice and grateful tysm this gave me confident
i'm in a really bad period and i relate much to this, i always feel like overreacting to the difficulties in my life and i can't vent to anyone because if i do i'll just notice more that i'm and i've always been a crybaby (if that's the right definition), i even used to hope to get worse so i'd have something to be sad about, the only thing i can be sad about rn is me as a person i really appreciated the message you shared, it was really conforting and i hope you're doing well too right now, thank you for everything :D
First of all what a banger of a song and you weren't the only one almost crying at the end. The message part really hit home and I really needed a reminder of that. Thank you for making these videos and I hope only all the best things for you!
Thank you so much for making this video. it made me tear up. I always love to watch you react to Kiko and other vocaloid artists because it's always very inspiring and also awesome music :) oops I'm 2 years late
The way you made me cry; honestly thank you Sometimes I tell myself to suck it up without even knowing. I always tell myself I have no problems and that I'm well off. If that's true, why do I have anxiety attacks? Well, it just happens to some people. It's nothing. If you say the same things to yourself, it's good to at least acknowledge these things. It's hard. You might even tell yourself there's nothing to acknowledge in the first place. That's ok, it takes time. Ilu, you're doing a great job. ♡
I found this on my recommended. At first, I thought "Ooh, this might be interesting!" in the end i ended up tearing up a little, man! I can relate (though to only an extent since.. I guess.. my "story" if you wanna call it that, is different.) I've been quiet for my issues for a while and I just appreciate your words at the end so much! Subscribed to you. You're a fantastic person!
MARETU is such a phenomenal producer and I'm glad you continue to enjoy them!! 🥰🥰 I can highly recommend "The Taste of Cockroach" because I think you'd appreciate it's narrative to a degree, and "Coin Locker Baby" is a react classic! Both by MARETU ofc. Also. Thank you for your incredibly supportive and kind words! Validation and affirmation are important, everybody experiences things by Their own metric and its always a good thing to be reminded of. Nothing is "lesser" or "more" if its just for you. Your feelings abt your personal experiences are ALWAYS valid, because they are inherently yours! Thank you for continuing to put out enjoyable content and for continuing to be such a kind and honest person! I anticipate each video! 💞💞💞
I've had very similar experiences with what was described in the video and in your words and I just wanted to thank you for your kind words of comfort. I really needed to hear that Thank you mooshi :)
This is exactly how my parents are with my sister and me My sister has many MANY mental illnesses but my parents still say stuff like 'well just clean your room, take out the dishes. it shouldnt be that hard, these are things you need to get done.' like um thats not how it works Also last year i told my mom i think i have a very specific neurological disorder and she just went 'no, you dont.' that was it.. so um, very silly!
I adorrre theeese!! X'D Like, not only do I get to hear great music, I get to puzzle over meanings before the end bit!! XD What I got, interestingly, is this does sound like a parent invalidating their child, but it feels worse in my opinion because in one verse it says "I had been careless [...] before you were born" and that that thing was "regrettable", and my mind immediately shoots to someone getting knocked up and the other individual running so they don't have too care for the resulting baby. The fact the child is then also repeatedly saying sorry "like it's an excuse" when they probably don't even know why they're getting told off... Eesh. And then the original japanese lyrics move to the middle as the parent's like "why did they have this kid" at which point they seem to realise "oh, that's an actual kid, that I was meant to parent correctly" before you have "Regret for the body of a servant/Hope for the best parts of the rest of your life" right before the beat his and, uh... "pray for the hanging corpse".... ...on top of the "sacrifice/lol/diorama/careless/punishment" funeral alter with the "pure/maim/unstable" and "irresponsable/becoming/loop" figures praying to it... ....yeah... Traditional Bad Times Vocaloid... ¬w¬ (oh good grief TTwTT) TLDR: In my opinion, this is the song from the POV of an unwilling parent, most likely born female, complaining about their child and then committing the RUclips-Nopesies right at the end. Resulting in the Pure Stranded Child they'd wanted to Maim and the Irresponsible Other Parent praying to a funeral alter for the singing parent, who called their part in raising that child a joke and a punishment...
this hit hard, i tell myself this a lot idk where or how it started but i would invalidate myself a lot, its a hard habit to break, and the one time my mom tried this to my brother i called her out hard on it, but i just see so much bad around me wether its one of my friends or family of some sort and i look at my life, i just tell myself "others have it worse" "deal with it" and other shit like that when i get upset or stressed, those voices have gotten quieter ever since i graduated high school but i would still have the offhand comment like "i just got stressed over the stupidest thing" or "i shuldnt be upset about that nothing is wrong" so yeah this really did hit hard for me
I love your videos because after you discover the meaning of the song you always give the best advice that alot of us need. Thank you for that, also I love your vibe in general its so silly and fun and I generally enjoy it. 💛
I always loved almost every Maretru song!! I would like to recommend if you would listen to Scrumize & Suji because those two songs are supposed to tell a story✌🏾✌🏾
I had such a rough night tonight, and though I know my dad means well, he really doesn’t understand what I go through with my mental health. Yes, I do blow things out of proportion a lot, but that’s because I let my mind win, when I’m trying to fix that. I know it’s all in my head, but I don’t want it to feel like I can’t say things to him because he’ll just tell me “you need to toughen up and not let things get to you”. Years of trauma and self hatred make you doubt yourself and make you feel as though you’ll never be good enough, and that your feelings are too extreme. But I can’t help that. I really needed that message from you. It was very comforting to hear that we aren’t alone and that our feelings and experiences are valid. Thank you.
3:14 these lines are very true people always give sympathy to the people who had it worst not caring for the other person who is hurting but just “not enough” to care for.
Personally the imagery shown looks like two people on their knees praying at a stool with the feet of someone's hanging body above it. I say this due to the lyrics mentioning it when the imagery was shown "Press your hands together to pray for the hanging corpse."
Hey shooshi, there's a vocaloid song that I think you'd like called Baba Yaga, it's also from the same people who made Traffic Jam so I think you'll like it, but you probably won't see this :)
theory time: i think that the image is supposed to be two people praying over someone hanging, since to me the image looks to me like people praying and the lyrics say "press your hands together and pray for the hanging corpse". the floating square of words could be legs and the thing in the middle looks to me like a stool
I know this video is old, but I always come back to it. Your messages always give me a sense of comfort, really. Life's been really hard for YEARS, and you've helped me out a lot, thanks sooshi :)
This song hits alot of feels, I've heard the message "others are going through worse" so many times it's frustrating. Not in this context though, but if I heard this being used as a "Suck it up, you're looking for excuses" context I'd beat the shit out of them. Mr Mooshi here already said it, but your feelings are valid. People who use that "suck it up" message will prolly throw it out the window when they start feeling even just a bit sad, but will use it again for anyone else. So don't even try to take it to heart❤️
I pop here once in a while and your reactions are always a treat. I didn't expect this one to be so emotional, but I'm not against it. Thanks for the encouraging words, because tbh, I used to be belittled of my feelings and in turn, I used to belittle others' feelings as well. (Going on a vent here sorry) Yeah, like I said, my mom sometimes like to do stuff like this. I love her, I do, and I'm grateful for all she's done for me, but all of us aren't perfect in the end. Sometimes, when I complain or am in pain, she would tell me that she had it worse or that giving birth is more painful than what I'm going through. In the end, it led me to genuinely believe that whatever sadness or pain I'm feeling is petty, that I had it way easier than others and that, well, I should just suck it up. So when I genuinely start to believe that, I acted like that towards my friends as well. Ngl, I was already so toxic when I was a kid, and this just adds to it. When my former friend told me that she was depressed, I basically shut her down and told her to suck it up, that people had it way worse. Now you know why she became a former friend of mine. Eventually, I keep dismissing my own feelings as not important or not heavy enough to the point that it turned my mental health upside down. I felt so guilty that I was feeling what I'm feeling, I started thinking "You have a loving family and you don't have to worry about anything else in life, why do you feel so sad, you're pathetic" to myself. So I sort of harmed myself to deal with that feeling of guilt, and I never told anyone either, because everyone had it worse than me, why should I tell other people? That'll just make me look even more pathetic. Fortunately, one day, I asked for help and I basically told my online friend all about this. He was really supportive about it and told me that my feelings are valid. That it's okay to feel what I feel. And honestly, I wished I heard that sooner. My mental state went better the moment I started thinking that my feelings are valid and that I'm just a human. I still have a bad habit of keeping a lot of things to myself, but slowly, I'm starting to open up little by little and improving myself. Yeah. So if you're reading this shooshi, thanks for saying what you said. If my past self were to listen to that, I would probably bawl my eyes out lol. It's a good message to give. Your feelings are also really valid, please don't forget that and don't forget to take care of yourself, that goes to everyone who might be reading this rn.
The message to us really hit hard for me, this video might be old but it made me realize what I was going through and what I was really feeling, my friends do this a lot to me and what makes it worse is I joke around about my struggles, so they see it as my playing but no its a cry for help. That being said, your videos that have messages help me so much, I almost cried hearing this one lol. Just wanted to say that your videos help me a lot especially ones like these :)
I hope you’re alright Shooshi !! During your little message I could really understand and relate to what you’re going through. I hope things are getting better for you and will get better. We believe in you and thank you for talking about this, even if it is a bit of a more sensible subject it is important to bring it up. Amazing video as always can’t wait to see more
Kinda just gonna share personal experience here but- I actually once had a teacher completely invalidate my feelings when I tried to reach out for help with the deep pit of depression I was in due to life at home, they just walked in on the conversation and said “you know, others have it worse” than proceeded to somewhat lecture me by telling me a story of a kid getting whipped in public. I have yet to actually talk to my therapist about this yet but even to this day it hurts. And this song has somewhat comforted me(as surprising as that may be), it’s like venting but inside my head.
I personally have had to deal with people telling me to "suck it up" when it comes to my problems, and I'll tell you it fucking hurts when people do that. It really pisses me off when someone goes to someone they trust or thinks will listen just scoffs at their problems and invalidates that person. If someone you know is going through a tough time, please don't tell them to suck it up, cause you're making that person feel invalid and hurt all because you chose to be an asshole.
Your message to us is actually relatable. My experience of people not validating how I feel is that my friends always ignore me whenever I vent to them, yet whenever they vent to me I listen and help them through how they feel just to make them feel valid and loved. Idk why they won’t do the same for me, but I am starting to think they’re not really my friends.
Today in the morning, I woke up with such an awful feeling left from yesterday because of a small problem. And I keep repeating this song like it's a reminder "Just bear with it so you don't look like a dramatic kid with silly problem". And then I see your videos and your messages telling "Your feeling is valid. Your problem is real" I'm crying so hard at that time. Even I keep denying it, it feels like you keep encouraging that my problem is not such a silly things. It's real. I never been this touched with such a word. Thank you for the messages even after that I didn't tell my problem to someone else but once again Thank you so much :) ❤

I feel like some parents feel that when their child are expressing that they are sad or feel bad, it's a personal attack on them and their parenting ! Like " Oh ! My child says they're miserable, that means that I'm a bad parent...but I'm a great parent ! How dare they be sad when I'm trying my best !" the thing is it's not an attack..just a cry for help...
Yeah some DEFINITELY take it this way oh my god
did you mean: my mom
Yeah my dad told me "I dont know where i went wrong with you"
i think he also said "Why are you depressed theres kids STARVING out there and there happier than you."
@@atlandfrisk omg I hate that! My mom has told me and my brother multiple times that "There are kids who wished they had as much as yall do". Like yeah I feel bad for those kids but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have bad emotions 😭
@@someonehaha77777 did you also mean: My dad?
honestly every time i listen to this song i think back to being in high school, when my school counselors had to force my parents to let me get therapy bc my parents didn’t think my problems were “bad enough” to be worth the “shame” of getting help…..really glad i started standing up for myself after i started university
Yeah man fr good on you
Dang…that’s sad, hope ur ok
Bro every Vocaloid song is an actual bop. Maretu is really really talented, and all of their songs are so nice to listen to and always give me some kind of chill. I really recommend Pinocchio-p's songs, like Common World Domination. I'm really excited to see how this video turned out since SIU was my first Maretu song, and was close to my first Vocaloid song ever.
I'd like but it's at 69
The first MARETU song I listened to was darling, and I think either Coin Locker Baby or SIU was the second one
The first MARETU song i’ve ever listened to was White Happy (i strongly recommend listening to it if you haven’t) Mind brand and SIU were the second ones
@@onlitolcatfeet the first time I heard of Vocaloid I thought it was going to be very… wel how do I say it, kid friendly?
I basically just excepted some cute anime like songs. Ofc there are also very nice friendly songs like electric angel! (And a lot of other ones) but wow was I not expecting this-
But I don’t at all regret trying it out! I honestly thought I wouldn’t like it but I really do!
Yeah, agreed. At first i thought i was only only gonna end up liking like 1-3 songs and never end up getting moved by any of them, but ended up liking the entire genre and a lot of producers and felt a deep connection with a lot of song as well. But i don’t regret a single thing!
Miyashita Yuu has covered a decent amount of Maretu songs. They always put me out of commission when they play in my playlist.
I feel like SIU can be relateable to everyone, and I think to marginalized groups most, and young people. Or just generally the selfishness we live in through late-stage capitalism that feeds people selfishness. "You're just jealous" "You're being ungrateful" an excuse to undermine someones concerns or points. To disregard their emotions as legitimate.
"This person shouldn't have been born." -> I "Why did you let this child be born?" Which can be, as I see it: Why did you let "broken people" be born? (disabled people, neurodivergent people, people of color, mentally ill people, etc.) "This person can't function in a broken world, they shouldn't have been born, put them down already, they're not even human. Survival of the fittest, they're weak, they're broken, they're sick, they're useless. They don't look right. They're disgusting. They're subhuman." another interpretation can ALSO be -> why did you let someone so ungrateful, be born?" (Why would you challenge me? I'm your parent, you should be grateful I even fed and raised you. Which is a real thing said to people who speak out about their abusive parents or just parents who birthed children to be the spitting image of them and not a person.)
I pick specifically this lyric because no matter in any which way you spin it it can relate to many experiences, many pains. Maretu is really a gift that keeps on giving.
HARD agree with everything you said
I screenshotted this comment and sent this to my mum also another comment like this, thank you sm, my mom is finally starting to understand my pain.
有色人種が壊れた人だと…
Hey please never stop making videos, i really really enjoy your content. You're an amazing person, and thank you for all the nice words❤️ keep going
Thank you very much for this. I’ll keep doing my best :,)
@@shooshiMooshi Hi nice video. Love your work
@@shooshiMooshi 🥰
@@shooshiMooshi yayyy
I also enjoy this too!
The shitty part of it is there's actual people in the world
Who's suffering just like that
My favorite aspect of this song is how the sound can be mocking and bitter as well as sad and wistful. Also the words "suck it up" sounds like my parents 😀👍 our experiences cannot be compared, know that your problems are vailid, and ditch all those who say otherwise
Reminds me of when I told my doctor that I was having negative thoughts and suicidal thoughts. I remember my mother being mad at me for doing so because then she had to take me to therapy (which lasted for a couple months). That my issues were not enough to seek help. From then on she told be that I better tell the doctor that I was fine (I was a minor at the time so she was in the room with me during questioning).
Her constant saying of her being a good mom, how lucky I was to have a mother like her but I soon realized this isn't how a mother should make her child feel. Helpless and alone.
This song really speaks to me as I can see her saying these things. I know parents are human and make mistakes but damn did their actions sting badly.
im in ur place right now, except the fact that my parents still convincing me that im just thinking too much, its working.
i mean i am aware but im just being led on, i cant do anything
If you ever wanna react to other songs by Maretu, I definitely recommend “Magical Doctor”, “Coin Locker Baby”, and “Darling”!😩🙏
Edit: ALSO, “Cheating is a Crime” by Takayan and “Candy and Chains” by Otetsu are absolute bangers 💪
Dude totally. Or maybe even Brain Revolution Girl?
The problem with maretu is that i can't read the names of the songs dundkdkdkf
OMG YESSS!!!!!!
@@mono8057 Or Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl if he hasn’t seen it already!
Pink is also a good one
I hope he reacts to these songs!
Edit: Also Pepoyo's songs like Rakuraku Anrakushi or Amedama
I hope you're doing OK now Shooshi. To anyone who needs this: Your feelings are valid. Your experiences are valid. I know some words from a random internet stranger don’t really mean much, but I hope this helps. ❤
Thank you
Yes this means a lot to me thank you so much❤
I live in a home where crying is seen as a weaknesses, and if your not physically injured you dont deserve to cry, i hate my family, they yell as someone whos crying because theyre "weak". My friends are the same way, anytime i vent to them they tell me "yeah well i have it worse, so stfu" so now ive gotten used to it. It doesnt help that on some of my venting videos people say "cringe" other things, i act like it doesn't bother me, but now i cant open up my emotions, to the point where my friends yell at me for "being a emotionless monster", im rambling.
Hope youre doing better- ik im very late to this comment but pls remember ur suffering is valid and you deserve to be cared and loved by other people
Im not good at comforting people but uhh things will be ok, just always remember that
You should escape your abusive household
@@BlueOreo622 I'm waiting for the chance
Something I realized about the lyrics saying 'suck it up' is that it keeps getting clearer and clearer, which this may sound far-fetched but I feel like it has relation with how we grow up and start realizing the problems we've had in the past and how we've had our feelings manipulated by the people in our environment (in this case, parents) and how it becomes clearer to us, that no, it never was healthy.
This song kind of reminds me of my grandma and mom. My grandma was against me being born. With my mom she had something that gave her pain everyday and she wouldn't believe that my body hurt when I was little or even now. °~°
Bruh
I agree with everything you said. I feel like a lot of adults/parents/teachers are hard to talk to because they say like “oh you’re just a kid” or “there are starving kids in Africa” and it’s super invalidating. Just because others have it worse doesn’t mean you can’t have your own struggles.
I was bullied when I was younger but i never talked about it until years after because I was convinced that I was overreacting and that’s just how friends were. It wasn’t. It wasn’t normal for “friends” to hit you everyday and force you to do things you were uncomfortable with.
It’s truly a horrible feeling and it’s lonely. It makes you feel like you’re the problem when it’s okay to be upset. *Your feelings are valid. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.*
I’m sorry you had to go through that experience and I hope you’re doing better now. Thank you for the kind message at the end.
P.S. your outfit looks great today shoosh
Oh man I really love your interpretation
lately I've been through shit, my parents have screwed me a lot, and when I sought professional help I was diagnosed with TLP (borderline) and my parents don't want to help me because I'm "fine", I'm not the worst
And your words really punch my heart, thanks man
No problem. I make these videos and say these things specifically for people like you. I hope this’ll at least show you that you aren’t alone in your struggles. Keep fighting :,)
i personally think its about comparing trauma, basically the same as invalidating struggles though. as someone who compares my own trauma to other's in order to invalidate my own for not having it that bad and yet constantly complaining(which isnt true, and i know it but i still do it), i could relate heavily to it. like im in both roles.
everyone's trauma is valid, doesnt matter if you experienced a pet dying, a sudden move, a single divorce, etc, its all equally traumatic, its all equally valid
Maretu is what got me into vocaloid,and even though miku sounds really robotic,the songs SLAP.
I listen to utaite when the voice gets too robotic for me. So I usually listen to Miyashita Yuu's version
Edit: forgot to say YOU ARE RIGHT
@@noh8522 i don't like miku's voice that much,so i rather listen to actual singers like Miyashita,but for some reason i can't stand english covers or humans singing maretu's songs,or even vocaloid in general. Maretu is like the only case when i think the robotic voice is irreplaceable
@@beatrizx3159 aah okay!
@@beatrizx3159 yo SAME
I'm not a fan of Hatsune Miku, I think a lot of Vocaloid producers make songs that simply don't fit her voice and make me prefer covers over the originals, but something about the way MARETU tunes Miku is just so irreplaceably fitting to his style of music and I love it.
@@MochYee that really makes me mad,sometimes the beat is amazing but the vocaloid voice sounds so off. Of course there are a lot of exeptions,where either the song and the voice fit or the voice don't sound too robotic. But about covers(mainly in english),i think the only one i like is that My R cover. One of my fav songs,Bitter Choco Decoration,imo doesn't sound half as good as in the original even when the cover is by Miyashita Yuu. I love him,but the feeling is not the same you know
I once went through this kinda stuff, where i feel bad just for experiencing struggle's in life and i kept thinking that if I'm feeling bad i should just hide it since it bothered people around me and that I'm not allowed to feel this type of things because everyone around isn't feeling bad and I'm just ruining the mood, so i always ran away somewhere to keep everything to myself and just suck it all up.
Now i feel so fucked up just for doing that to myself.
Friends and family will often invalidate my feelings, whether it is physical or emotional pain they will tell me i’m fine and that I am over reacting. Even at the smallest things I’ll get so angry that I either get a massive headache or cry, I’ll get so sad that i’ll cry or forget about everything nice and think “am I good enough?” Or I’ll get so anxious that I feel sick to my stomach.
I want you to know that you are valid your feelings are valid, you can feel how ever you want to feel and Remember you are all worth it.
Also thank you shooshi for making your videos they help me a lot when I’m upset. I’m sorry for anything anyone has said to you to invalidate how you feel.
Thank you.
I'm literally in tears because of this video
Listen to the version of miyu shita, S.I.U
*THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN SHOOSHI*
Maretu is my all time favorite producer because of his music and my first vocaloid producer that i discovered
No problem. Maretu really is amazing :)
Everytime you do Maretu my life brightens hes my favourite musician ever. I do hope you do PINK, Namida, Darling, Suji and Rebirth someday
He’s my favorite producer as well so I love seeing people react to his music and absolutely love it!
oo oo and before born and packet hero those are some of my favorite o/
yessss I really hope he does pink and darling especially
Which darling? New or old?
legit banger i love all of his songs
Ok, now I just need to see the taste of cockroach or eraser girl, but this makes me happy nontheless, very happy.
Also, I love how Maretu almost in all of his songs, he talks about problems on society or problems that people have, always makes you see them from a different pov, that's why Maretu is and probably always will be my favorite music creator.
Eraser girl is so good!
@@ayacyte443 my favorite Maretu song, and most underrated.
I think adults forget that they have to listen and see when others have a problem because they think that since their an adult they have already learned it all, and been throught their own set of expeiriences. They just figure "well I was like that too and I'm still here." The thing is if that was the case there wouldn't be young people and children commiting su*side. What about the people who didn't make it? They probably felt they had to make that choice because no one listened or saw them.
I recently had an expeoience just like this. My parents were telling me how I'm so lazy all the time. (i agreed with them beacause I totaly am, but like it's just a lack of motivation.) My mom brought up how I don't even leave my bed unless i have to eat, shower, or use the bathroom. (and shcool) And I was like "yup". Dad chimes in "so you never hang out with friends?" I say "no, none live nearby." And I basically said "I don't really have the motivation, or reason to leave my bed" But i recently noticed this isn't normal... "My friends live near eachother and they hang out." Then my dad says "Oh all teens are like that." I don't even go in the living room, unless there is a geust, which sometimes I pretend there isn't. Sometimes I don't even leave my room to eat, to the point to that I would be weak and shaking from hunger. I only recently realized this is called "isolation". I don't think self isolation is normal for any age but what do I know?
Sorry for the long rant, just need to let of some steam. LOVE the vids man, keep it up. ❤❤❤
this song hits really close to home for me. i’m supposed to be in therapy and i was even sent to a crisis center by a doctor not too long ago which my mom bailed me out of before i could walk into the entrance. she belittled my feelings saying that people went through worse than me that she went through worse than me. it made me feel terrible.
Your mom is horrible…
When I listen to this song, it's lowkey relatable to point it made me cry just bit because like when I young kid, people who are much older and bigger always Said that to me all the time and it was hurtful with the bullying and awful things from a-holes happened to me back then but overall maretu is one of my favorite Artists and SIU is one of my favorite songs besides magical doctor also I recommend to reaction to either Magical Doctor, ENA, and Backrooms
This man gets off to more vocaloid songs than actual women
Tf lmaooo
NUH UH.... NUH UH NO YOU DIDNT😭
@@cloudjelly97 when he gets some bitches I’ll retract my statement :omoriDisgust:
shorty tf 💀
Mcfucking what now
I cannot express how happy I am that he reacted to this one!
Parents: my kids are fine
The same kids: listening to GUMI, Kikuo, and Flower/Guichiry, Maretu, never forget them
I love this song bc of how much I can relate to it. Tho I don’t get my feelings dismissed by my family, my friends are the ones that do it. It’s like I’ll say something then they’ll be like, “omg be too” and then start ranting on about something. I know I’m kinda an a-hole for not listening to them but I didnt say it for you to make it about yourself. Even online I’ve been called “emo” if I say something even relatively “morbid” or “sad”. Like I’m not “emo” I’m just going through shit. It fucking sucks having ur feeling being reduced down to basically nothing, which is why when I vented to one of my friends to the first time I was surprised that they listened to what I had to say and didn’t shift the situation to themselves. It’s weird, bc of this mindset I have where nobody cares about my emotions bc in my head im telling myself “ur just being over dramatic”, “no one’s gonna listen anyway”, or “any other thing people can use to make you seem like ur crazy” I guess I just stop talking about my feelings bc I just didn’t think they were important? I just realized I went on a whole rant here so sorry about that. :/
God I freaking LOVE Maretu. I really recommend the song, “Before I was born” the way he uses metal with chip tune together in that song was so perfect.
Absolute nightmare for those who've been crushed by pressure and external scorn
Absolutely
As someone who is going through this nightmare right now I thank you for your sympathy
Ah yes more MARETU songs! Glad to see you reacting to more of his work! A great video for sure! The imagery itself a lot of people say are two parents over a child’s crib btw!
I can relate to this song. Not in a "other people invalidate my emotions and struggles" way, but a lot more in a "I ignore my struggles because it's not as bad as others'". I have this voice in my head that keeps telling me "What if you ask for medical help and it turns out there's nothing wrong?" "You'd be ignoring others' sadness if you talked about yours." "Stop crying like you're the main character." "You've been through nothing compared to others!"
5:05 i think that this part is the comments of the writer to the parent. “If you’re blaming your kid for everything and making they’re life a living hell, why did you bring them to this world?” Kind of thing. That’s at least how I see it.
Also this may be a stretch but the line “press your hands together to pray for the hanging corpse” makes me think that this is the story about a parent who invalidated the feeling of their kid, and completely disregarded their mental health, which led to the kid ending their own life (therefore “praying” after finding their kid’s body). So the line that says something like “why did you decide to end your joke only now” possible refers to the fact that the parent only believed their kid’s feeling when it was too late.
the message to you part had me straight up sobbing😭😭
Miyashita Yuu's cover of this and Unknown Mother Goose always ends up in most of my playlists LOL
You for real gotta check out his cover of Unknown Mother Goose - it'll blow you away
I love Unknown Mother Goose, especially with the mix of the writer’s other songs mixed in the background
At 5:40 it says "pray for the hanging corpse". I think that the kid that was being belittled ended up hanging themselves because the person singing refused to see their problems as anything serious, which shows the devastating effect of being told "so many people have it worse than you"
God i really loved this song so much, also I'm glad you decided to take the time and react to this song aswell!
I can tell this hit you hard
i keep searching up maretu to listen to this song, THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MARETU SONG, I LITERALLY KEEP HUMMING IT LIKE-
I don't know if anyone already pointed that out in the comments but
In this song in the start and ending you can hear heart beats.
In the start the heart beats are fast, wich may indicate stress, anxiety
And at the end the heart beats slows wich may indicate death
If you don't believe me search for the instrumental I also had a hard time being able to hear it
Basicaly I think it's about parents putting their child to so much pressure and abuse and anxiety then invalidating the child feelings, trauma and experiences by telling them to suck it up and other things wich makes the child more and more anxious, frustrated with no way to cope that either the child dies from stress or take out their own life.
Hey, shooshi, I love your videos. Your the reason that I am now safe. You have genuinely saved a life, please know this. Trigger warning for the following story.
Ever since I was a kid, my grandmother(who I call Nana) , of whom I lived with, was very very abusive. Physically, verbally, and neglectfully. I never got the correct clothing sizes, I has never given affection other than money, I was hit when I had the slightest mishap, and when I would tell her I was sad this vocaloid describes what she would tell me, and I never knew until this year that it was not normal and not okay.
Shooshi, I hope you are okay and that you live happily. I will always support you and your videos, and I'm going to be getting more streaming/video apps and social medias, so I will be both following your socials and promoting your channels/videos, such as. And on any twitch stream I find of yours(when I get twitch), I'll be donating money. Hope everything is good with you right now and your living a good healthy life.
hey I'm so sorry you went through that man
I hope ur feeling okay now
have a good day! or night ofc
@@Jadeddoxy thanks, I'm in a new home now and the parents are nice here. I hope you have a good day or night too!
This is why I love this guy! Not only does he react and listen to messed-up music and stuff, but he also encourages you!
Thanks, ShooshiMooshi!
No problem :)
I view it as the child screaming the words to mock the adults and saying „suck it up“ and telling them how much it hurts by their tone.
The image looks to me like two people praying to a casket and I think it might be the final achievement of what the child wanted, validation.
When the child sucked it up until they became the hanging corpse the adult put their hands together for „the person with the worst life“
I honestly can relate to this and a lot of other people too even some adults can as well. For me it hurts me a lot especially when it's from my own parents who tell me that I CAN tell me about my problems and don't have to hide it but when I do my mom will say "I don't have time to deal with you right now" or "Stop that, you're not really sad, you're 'fine' you just want attention" which causes things to just get worse and if I do get the chance to say anything it's always her saying and reminding me that others have it a lot worse and she has it worse as well and that my problems aren't such a big thing causing me to feel guilty. It doesn't help that I've been diagnosed with crippling depression and intense anxiety along with ptsd which causes me to over think things more and get even more intense feelings that will cause me to have anxiety attacks/ panic attacks. It could be also that older adults come from a different time where they were really forced to actually keep inside and if they didn't they'd get in trouble for it and if a child is raised like that they could teach there child how to do that as well without meaning to, either way you shouldn't tell a child to suck it up or be little there feelings even though the problem can seem not that serious but for them at that moment it is for them and it's best to just respect it and let them feel that way for a while comforting them in doing so other than telling them to suck it up or that's just life. Although that's how life is that doesn't mean you should take it all on your own because we are human, we weren't meant to take on everything, we were meant to ask for help when we feel we absolutely need it and feel like we will break if we don't. I have friends now that don't be little me even if my guardians do, but even though I do the scars and trauma and being raised with not really any parent figure can linger still and make me feel like I'm alone or if I do something I'll be judged, abandon, no one will love me for me causing myself to have trust issues, clinginess, separation anxiety, abandonment problems to the point where I'll go into a panic attack and my friends will have to remind me that I'm okay now and not alone because they won't leave me nor be little me for feeling a way and accept me for still having a mind like a little kid still do to not having such a proper childhood so the memories I get now help make up a little bit from my past and my friends help me learn the things I didn't learn when I was younger due to reasons.
Just know that everyone's feelings are valid and everyone handles things differently and deals with situations differently, that doesn't mean we should be little it especially if you know you wouldn't want someone to do the same and would hurt if they do.
I recommend melty land nightmare I think is an amazing (and addicting)song or anything from haruhaki I think his songs are cool and I haven't seen a lot of people talk abt it :D
I’ve had my parents belittle, mock and look down on me for any sign of struggle or hurt I face. They treat mental illness like it’s a joke and have never taken any of my struggles dealing with my mental problems seriously which only has continued to worsen them.
I’m crying I recommended it and you actually did it you are my number one favorite RUclips ever
This is the first time I know the lyrics since I have heard the song and from first impression, the meaning a grasped is generational trauma in a family. The mother doesn't know the pain she's giving to their child due to the fact they themselves don't know their own pain. Maybe its something they experienced in the past so they can't understand what is wrong with how they are as a mother. They've been told to suck it up, and now they're the one telling their child to just suck them up.
"No, are things enough like this? Or is it not to your liking"
when I first found this song I immediately thought of sexual assault and this song became a comfort song of mine since I had been through sexual assault from two different people. Then I found this video and found the true meaning! I’m glad I found the true meaning.
this video is already making me emotional, damn. thank you for reacting to this!
No problem :)
My mom does this, ALOT! When I open up or try to get help or feel sad, my mom is always bringing up other peoples lives and compares me to other people and it makes me feel like shit. And then she always says "why are you even here if you're so sad and complaining all the time and it's so fucking frustrating. I just wished she'd understand my feelings for once.
Believe it or not, “S.I.U” was my favorite song on my Spotify wrapped. And MARETU was my number 1 artist.
Same, i got 1% of monthly hearers 😭
It would be nice to see you react to Hollowness by Minami. It's really a banger and so emotional along with the singer singing it with the perfect atmosphere.
That line.
“You’re not a b- . You’re just human”
That hit hard to home.
I always invalidate my feelings, bc I don’t actually have a reason to be like that. Even if I do have a reason, I don’t feel deserving of help, or I don’t think that the reason is enough to make me feel like that bc “suck it up”. I always compare my problems/feelings with others and I always come up with the same. Im just self-victimising for attention. They have a reason, they have experiences, they have memories. I don’t even know why I’m suddenly upset sometimes. I’m just dumb. I feel stupid while talking to others. I feel annoying.
Everytime I vent to someone, they give me some kind of solutions. I don’t want solutions rn. I want affection to feel a little better. I want love.
I want to feel loved. It’s that much to ask?
my brain says that it is
If u want to say anything here, I can listen :>
I don't think affection is too much to ask for, since everyone, unless they did something hideous like SA or something, is deserving of love and affection
@@imaddictedtobread thanks man, its rlly nice seeing how ppl on the internet, strangers, support each other. This whole month has been completely harsh, i rlly appreciate ur words
@@catykat4 I hope u have a good life too :D
Thank you for listening to MARETU's songs〜🥰
By the way, the logotype of this song's thumbnail is pictograph of God(神 in kanji).His songs always make us surprised n excited👀✨
One of my favorite Maretu songs. Can’t wait to watch this one 🥰
Bro ur the best i'm literally watching this as my parents fight i always thought that i don't have the right to cry or complain cause other people are going throught worse i even skip meals and don't ask for anything i don't need, i was insecure cause i felt like i was useless and i didn't deserve to be alive and happy people constantly say that i should be more considerate,nice and grateful tysm this gave me confident
i'm in a really bad period and i relate much to this, i always feel like overreacting to the difficulties in my life and i can't vent to anyone because if i do i'll just notice more that i'm and i've always been a crybaby (if that's the right definition), i even used to hope to get worse so i'd have something to be sad about, the only thing i can be sad about rn is me as a person
i really appreciated the message you shared, it was really conforting and i hope you're doing well too right now, thank you for everything :D
You okay? I’m here if you want to talk :)
First of all what a banger of a song and you weren't the only one almost crying at the end. The message part really hit home and I really needed a reminder of that. Thank you for making these videos and I hope only all the best things for you!
Thank you so much for making this video. it made me tear up. I always love to watch you react to Kiko and other vocaloid artists because it's always very inspiring and also awesome music :) oops I'm 2 years late
The way you made me cry; honestly thank you
Sometimes I tell myself to suck it up without even knowing. I always tell myself I have no problems and that I'm well off. If that's true, why do I have anxiety attacks? Well, it just happens to some people. It's nothing.
If you say the same things to yourself, it's good to at least acknowledge these things. It's hard. You might even tell yourself there's nothing to acknowledge in the first place. That's ok, it takes time. Ilu, you're doing a great job. ♡
I found this on my recommended. At first, I thought "Ooh, this might be interesting!" in the end i ended up tearing up a little, man! I can relate (though to only an extent since.. I guess.. my "story" if you wanna call it that, is different.) I've been quiet for my issues for a while and I just appreciate your words at the end so much! Subscribed to you. You're a fantastic person!
Thank you very much! Glad I was able to make a good first impression on you :)
MARETU is such a phenomenal producer and I'm glad you continue to enjoy them!! 🥰🥰 I can highly recommend "The Taste of Cockroach" because I think you'd appreciate it's narrative to a degree, and "Coin Locker Baby" is a react classic! Both by MARETU ofc. Also. Thank you for your incredibly supportive and kind words! Validation and affirmation are important, everybody experiences things by Their own metric and its always a good thing to be reminded of. Nothing is "lesser" or "more" if its just for you. Your feelings abt your personal experiences are ALWAYS valid, because they are inherently yours! Thank you for continuing to put out enjoyable content and for continuing to be such a kind and honest person! I anticipate each video! 💞💞💞
8:15 I really needed this right now...thank you so much
I've had very similar experiences with what was described in the video and in your words and I just wanted to thank you for your kind words of comfort. I really needed to hear that Thank you mooshi :)
You should absolutely check out Uminaoshi (rebirth) also by Maretu, its a personal fave of mine. Love the vid as usual ❣
Hey Mooshi. I'm a pretty new fan who found you maybe three or four weeks ago. I love your content.
Glad you like my videos! And thank you for watching. I really appreciate you :)
@@shooshiMooshi no problem. Anything for The Great Mooshi :D
Please you have to hear all maretu songs! Hear "Miss Fortune", "The taste of Ckrocoach", "Coin Locker Baby" "Packet Hero", "Eraser Girl" and more!❤️❤️
AHHH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO IT (I clicked the video so fast lol)
You’re welcome :)
This is exactly how my parents are with my sister and me
My sister has many MANY mental illnesses but my parents still say stuff like 'well just clean your room, take out the dishes. it shouldnt be that hard, these are things you need to get done.' like um thats not how it works
Also last year i told my mom i think i have a very specific neurological disorder and she just went 'no, you dont.' that was it.. so um, very silly!
I adorrre theeese!! X'D
Like, not only do I get to hear great music, I get to puzzle over meanings before the end bit!! XD
What I got, interestingly, is this does sound like a parent invalidating their child, but it feels worse in my opinion because in one verse it says "I had been careless [...] before you were born" and that that thing was "regrettable", and my mind immediately shoots to someone getting knocked up and the other individual running so they don't have too care for the resulting baby. The fact the child is then also repeatedly saying sorry "like it's an excuse" when they probably don't even know why they're getting told off... Eesh.
And then the original japanese lyrics move to the middle as the parent's like "why did they have this kid" at which point they seem to realise "oh, that's an actual kid, that I was meant to parent correctly" before you have "Regret for the body of a servant/Hope for the best parts of the rest of your life" right before the beat his and, uh... "pray for the hanging corpse"....
...on top of the "sacrifice/lol/diorama/careless/punishment" funeral alter with the "pure/maim/unstable" and "irresponsable/becoming/loop" figures praying to it...
....yeah... Traditional Bad Times Vocaloid... ¬w¬ (oh good grief TTwTT)
TLDR: In my opinion, this is the song from the POV of an unwilling parent, most likely born female, complaining about their child and then committing the RUclips-Nopesies right at the end. Resulting in the Pure Stranded Child they'd wanted to Maim and the Irresponsible Other Parent praying to a funeral alter for the singing parent, who called their part in raising that child a joke and a punishment...
this hit hard, i tell myself this a lot idk where or how it started but i would invalidate myself a lot, its a hard habit to break, and the one time my mom tried this to my brother i called her out hard on it, but i just see so much bad around me wether its one of my friends or family of some sort and i look at my life, i just tell myself "others have it worse" "deal with it" and other shit like that when i get upset or stressed, those voices have gotten quieter ever since i graduated high school but i would still have the offhand comment like "i just got stressed over the stupidest thing" or "i shuldnt be upset about that nothing is wrong"
so yeah this really did hit hard for me
I hope that you feel better and same to anyone who needs to hear this
I love your videos because after you discover the meaning of the song you always give the best advice that alot of us need. Thank you for that, also I love your vibe in general its so silly and fun and I generally enjoy it. 💛
I always loved almost every Maretru song!! I would like to recommend if you would listen to Scrumize & Suji because those two songs are supposed to tell a story✌🏾✌🏾
I had such a rough night tonight, and though I know my dad means well, he really doesn’t understand what I go through with my mental health. Yes, I do blow things out of proportion a lot, but that’s because I let my mind win, when I’m trying to fix that. I know it’s all in my head, but I don’t want it to feel like I can’t say things to him because he’ll just tell me “you need to toughen up and not let things get to you”. Years of trauma and self hatred make you doubt yourself and make you feel as though you’ll never be good enough, and that your feelings are too extreme. But I can’t help that. I really needed that message from you. It was very comforting to hear that we aren’t alone and that our feelings and experiences are valid. Thank you.
:,)
I’m going through shit right now and what you said after the video somewhat helped. Thank you mooshi
3:14 these lines are very true people always give sympathy to the people who had it worst not caring for the other person who is hurting but just “not enough” to care for.
Personally the imagery shown looks like two people on their knees praying at a stool with the feet of someone's hanging body above it. I say this due to the lyrics mentioning it when the imagery was shown "Press your hands together to pray for the hanging corpse."
Hey shooshi, there's a vocaloid song that I think you'd like called Baba Yaga, it's also from the same people who made Traffic Jam so I think you'll like it, but you probably won't see this :)
That's good too! especially with flower and Kafu's voice
holy shit... i got goosebumps as soon as the song started...
the message you said at the end is exactly what i'm going through, thank you because your words really helped
theory time: i think that the image is supposed to be two people praying over someone hanging, since to me the image looks to me like people praying and the lyrics say "press your hands together and pray for the hanging corpse". the floating square of words could be legs and the thing in the middle looks to me like a stool
btw, this song bangs!! i hope that you'll react to more maretu in the future!
Ohhh damn nice observation and theory
I know this video is old, but I always come back to it. Your messages always give me a sense of comfort, really. Life's been really hard for YEARS, and you've helped me out a lot, thanks sooshi :)
MARETU's new music has been updated! So I hope you will listen to it!
It had NO RIGHT being so damn catchy 😩🤚
This song hits alot of feels, I've heard the message "others are going through worse" so many times it's frustrating. Not in this context though, but if I heard this being used as a "Suck it up, you're looking for excuses" context I'd beat the shit out of them.
Mr Mooshi here already said it, but your feelings are valid.
People who use that "suck it up" message will prolly throw it out the window when they start feeling even just a bit sad, but will use it again for anyone else. So don't even try to take it to heart❤️
I pop here once in a while and your reactions are always a treat. I didn't expect this one to be so emotional, but I'm not against it. Thanks for the encouraging words, because tbh, I used to be belittled of my feelings and in turn, I used to belittle others' feelings as well.
(Going on a vent here sorry)
Yeah, like I said, my mom sometimes like to do stuff like this. I love her, I do, and I'm grateful for all she's done for me, but all of us aren't perfect in the end. Sometimes, when I complain or am in pain, she would tell me that she had it worse or that giving birth is more painful than what I'm going through. In the end, it led me to genuinely believe that whatever sadness or pain I'm feeling is petty, that I had it way easier than others and that, well, I should just suck it up.
So when I genuinely start to believe that, I acted like that towards my friends as well. Ngl, I was already so toxic when I was a kid, and this just adds to it. When my former friend told me that she was depressed, I basically shut her down and told her to suck it up, that people had it way worse. Now you know why she became a former friend of mine.
Eventually, I keep dismissing my own feelings as not important or not heavy enough to the point that it turned my mental health upside down. I felt so guilty that I was feeling what I'm feeling, I started thinking "You have a loving family and you don't have to worry about anything else in life, why do you feel so sad, you're pathetic" to myself. So I sort of harmed myself to deal with that feeling of guilt, and I never told anyone either, because everyone had it worse than me, why should I tell other people? That'll just make me look even more pathetic.
Fortunately, one day, I asked for help and I basically told my online friend all about this. He was really supportive about it and told me that my feelings are valid. That it's okay to feel what I feel. And honestly, I wished I heard that sooner. My mental state went better the moment I started thinking that my feelings are valid and that I'm just a human. I still have a bad habit of keeping a lot of things to myself, but slowly, I'm starting to open up little by little and improving myself.
Yeah. So if you're reading this shooshi, thanks for saying what you said. If my past self were to listen to that, I would probably bawl my eyes out lol. It's a good message to give. Your feelings are also really valid, please don't forget that and don't forget to take care of yourself, that goes to everyone who might be reading this rn.
Always looking forward to your videos! This is one of my favorite songs so I'm really excited!
The message to us really hit hard for me, this video might be old but it made me realize what I was going through and what I was really feeling, my friends do this a lot to me and what makes it worse is I joke around about my struggles, so they see it as my playing but no its a cry for help. That being said, your videos that have messages help me so much, I almost cried hearing this one lol. Just wanted to say that your videos help me a lot especially ones like these :)
I hope you’re alright Shooshi !! During your little message I could really understand and relate to what you’re going through. I hope things are getting better for you and will get better. We believe in you and thank you for talking about this, even if it is a bit of a more sensible subject it is important to bring it up. Amazing video as always can’t wait to see more
Kinda just gonna share personal experience here but- I actually once had a teacher completely invalidate my feelings when I tried to reach out for help with the deep pit of depression I was in due to life at home, they just walked in on the conversation and said “you know, others have it worse” than proceeded to somewhat lecture me by telling me a story of a kid getting whipped in public. I have yet to actually talk to my therapist about this yet but even to this day it hurts. And this song has somewhat comforted me(as surprising as that may be), it’s like venting but inside my head.
I personally have had to deal with people telling me to "suck it up" when it comes to my problems, and I'll tell you it fucking hurts when people do that. It really pisses me off when someone goes to someone they trust or thinks will listen just scoffs at their problems and invalidates that person. If someone you know is going through a tough time, please don't tell them to suck it up, cause you're making that person feel invalid and hurt all because you chose to be an asshole.
i thought i wouldn’t cry while listening to ur message but tears just started to fall…tysm i never realised but i actually needed those words🖤
Your message to us is actually relatable. My experience of people not validating how I feel is that my friends always ignore me whenever I vent to them, yet whenever they vent to me I listen and help them through how they feel just to make them feel valid and loved. Idk why they won’t do the same for me, but I am starting to think they’re not really my friends.
Today in the morning, I woke up with such an awful feeling left from yesterday because of a small problem. And I keep repeating this song like it's a reminder "Just bear with it so you don't look like a dramatic kid with silly problem". And then I see your videos and your messages telling "Your feeling is valid. Your problem is real" I'm crying so hard at that time. Even I keep denying it, it feels like you keep encouraging that my problem is not such a silly things. It's real. I never been this touched with such a word. Thank you for the messages even after that I didn't tell my problem to someone else but once again Thank you so much :) ❤
