    It makes me so sad that i cant share my pleasure, listening to these songs with anyone. Cause I don't know a single person who likes this and I simply can't understand why... There's so much passion in it and I really would like to share this joy with someone..

      To me it's a juxtaposition or metaphor, he's saying if he were to commit suicide, he would want it to be like his birth. If his body were to hit the ground, he wants to leave this Earth covered in blood, and free of sin, just like how he came into this world.

    Hey you guys might not know this, but in Cam Smith's book of poetry and short stories, the second to last short story is called seven boxes, containing all of his memories before he turned 18, at the end he burns it all, please read it, the video has so much hidden meaning, this Is so much more than music, Cam Smith is so much more than a writer, he's my idol.

    Cam has mentioned that this new album will be about surviving after a failed attempt at suicide, and how he is having to cope being the one alive while he has lost close friends due to them committing suicide. I feel like this video does a great job preparing us for the album, because it shows him burning his memories (which could symbolize his failed attempt and how he is coping in order to survive) and putting the painting that the girl made next to a flower pot .(This could symbolize that she could have died, and he is mourning her. The flower is also in a pot, which shows that it still has room for growth.) At the end, Cam is seen throwing the 'ash' of what you could assume to be his memories over the flower and walking away. (He is accepting his past, and is making the necessary steps to continue on with his life.) This music video is so surreal.

    I only discovered Hope Cartel just two years ago at 36 years old. I still remember where I was. I was watching my son practice martial arts while sitting in the audience. I put on my wireless headphones and decided to try listening to this spoken word poetry band known as 'Hotel Books'. As the songs kept playing, I was so overwhelmed with emotion I had to get up and leave the dojo so no one would see me burst into tears. I have ever had such a visceral response to music before. The words spoke to me in ways that left me speechless and exhausted.
    Incredible.

That makes me sad, to see him so happy as a child, growing up and learning what pain is. He has so much inside of him that his music is just scratching the surface. I hate pain, and being lost. Stay strong brother. You're an amazing soul.

    Depression is real. One can mask it to seem happy and "themselves" when they're really battling their own demons. I really feel his pain and emotion in this song. I have and still am living this constant torture. Trying to cure myself didn't work. Still isn't working and I am too stubborn to get the help I need. In my head, drinking and sleeping is my closure. Masking my "happiness" around others at work see the "happy, cheerful, full of life dude" isn't so happy and cheerful inside.

    I've always been afraid to fall in love , because there's something about fall that doesn't sound worth it ... life motto right there
