I don't think song lyrics have hit me as hard as "I'll say 'you're okay' in your stead" did in the last couple of years. It made me feel incredibly understood.
When i first listened to this song, i was dancing but then when i looked up the lyrics i started sobbing😭 stray kids has done this before. the beat is kinda hype and then the lyrics is giving a completely different vibe. Silent Cry is one of my favorite songs in the NOEASY album. i love ur breakdown cant wait to see ur other stray kids reactions.
I’m currently a Psychology major so it was very interesting to see your breakdown of this song! Here are other songs that I HIGHLY recommend that I would love for you to break down: Scars: Embracing the scars they have endured to move forward (this one is in Japanese and they don’t have subtitles for their MV) Changbin’s “Streetlight”: Being someone’s shoulder but also needing someone to lean on as well (MV but no lyrics) Han’s “Alien”: Feeling different or left out (was based on Han’s trainee days) (audio but with subtitles) The one thing that I will always remember when listening to these types of SKZ songs is that they said they “never lie” in their music. Their lyrics are pure and genuine and because of that, their songs really stand out! I hope you react to these songs!
The fact that they wrote songs on their own makes a stronger grip to fans emotion. This is a message from stray kids, conveyed through music and for stays to relate and learn.
As someone with a music degree and starting to studying music therapy …. I am sooooo glad I came across your channel. Their music is amazing for so many reasons… the lyrics are so honest and truthful, their talent is ridiculous and they are great guys. I love your approach and breakdown from a psychological stance. Thank you!
Thank you, Valerie! I have a few friends who are music therapists and I have witnessed the power of music in certain therapeutic situations. Good luck with your studies!
Before I say anything else, I'd recommend reacting to both the Scars MV and their The First Take live performance! I dunno if you've heard of it, but it's a Japanese series where the artists have to sing live in one take and it's posted no matter the results. The First Take has the lyrics in the video and is a beautiful showcase of their talents. :) I've followed Stray Kids since late 2017, early 2018, when I was struggling with my mental and physical health more than any other time. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at thirteen, and now in my twenties I still deal with it. I'm better in some ways, and worse in others. But for the past few years, I've had Stray Kids and their music. I've always felt understood and comforted by their lyrics, and the members themselves sharing their struggles and supportive words have impacted my life. I remember very specifically that in one livestream, the leader Chan essentially said that our voices are all precious, and there will always be people who want to hear and listen to us. At that time, my anxiety was so bad I couldn't even tell my family, who I love very much, about my day or my interests. It felt impossible to open my mouth and speak. But those few moments, his reassurance, gave me the courage to try. I'm still not entirely over that battle, but his words have stuck with me through these years. Stray Kids really GETS it, and they're not afraid to show that. It's something very precious to me, and many other people. Silent Cry is truly one of my favorite from the NOEASY album, because it doubles as a response to Secret Secret and are their words to the fans. Chan says we can always find them when we need help. Now, I know it's not a healthy boundary between fan and idol to dump everything on them, but just knowing that they're willing to hear is more than enough. They're truly wonderful people and I'm happy to be their fan. 💞 (Top recommendation are: Scars, Another Day, Slump (Also has a The First Take video with lyrics!), and Changbin's Streetlight)
I'm definitely getting that sense from them and that's likely why i've been so drawn to them. I'm so happy I decided to "Jump" and do that first reaction - I truly did not know how much I would love them! 🙂 I will definitely have to check that video out! Thank you for suggesting it! 💙
It`s like you say. I´m struggling with anxiety and depression since my childhood, but since the last year, it gets worst. 3 months ago, I reached my lowest point and I had to fight very hard to stand up again. At that time I discovered Stray Kids. And it was the best thing that could happen to me. At no point in my life have I ever felt so understood. Thanks to your words @Alice Hwang because it´s very helpful to know, that I´m not alone🙏 And a big THANK YOU to @Psynergic ! Your reactions to these songs help me a lot. Everything you said about these lyrics and about mental health/anxiety is absolutely what I feel/experienced. And it helps me to unterstand these lyrics a little bit better, because my english isn´t the best 😅
@@stxrl_st You're definitely not alone!! I've met one of my closest friends through our shared love for Stray Kids, and bonded because we both found them exactly when we needed them. I think it's something a lot of STAYs experience. I'm so glad that you have the kids to help you, and I hope you're having a good day. 💞
Secret, secret and silent cry are my favorites from the new album. Other songs I recommend are "Mirror", "Voices", "Levanter", "M.I.A", "Another day", "19", "Ex"... there's a lot of songs! Every single one of their songs, at least for me, are meaningful, beautiful and some are strong, happy and funny. I would love to accompany you in your stray kids journey 🫂💕 thanks for react to my children ❤
as another M.I.A. and Another Day enthusiast, i can vouch for this! skz has a way with their lyrics and subjects for songs and they all mean so much to us! i’d also recommend songs like awkward silence, airplane, and gone days for their more upbeat happy, but equally impactful lyrics regarding socializing, adults and the current generation, and just all around having fun as themselves!
Thank you so much! I'll make sure all of these are on my list! I will also do interviews and vlogs eventually! I definitely want to learn more about them! I'm excited to share more with you all soon! 🙂
The moment you said that not everyone has that kind of support system, that broke my heart. Because it a sad, harsh truth of reality. I have a friend that moved to another country who have depression, & although I tried to be the best support that she has, the long distance wasn't really working. So I was hoping that her family and the new friends would be enough. Then her mom died, her mental health dropped down from that & cuz his whole family was still grieving no one really paid close enough attention to her. She died of suicide last week, and I'm here praying for her dad and 10yrs old brother to be okay.
It is a sad reality for so many. Like I mentioned in the video, that's something we would work on in therapy too - building a support network. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope that you are doing okay. I'm sending all my positive vibes your way today. Please, take care 💙💙💙💙
I definitely related to the lyrics of Secret Secret as someone who is depressed, but the Silent Cry lyrics hurt way more. For me, I would always try and hide my depression and pretend to be okay because I didn't want anyone to be bothered or burdened by my internal struggles. So hearing a song from the perspective of a person watching their loved one go through (presumably) depression hit me very hard.
this is the reason why i love skz's lyrics, they allow listeners to have look, if not a peek, at their emotions and this video made me appreciate silent cry's lyrics all the more. thank you for this! a lot of the comments have recommended good songs and skz does talk a lot about mental health. i would just like to add side effects to list of recommendations. idk if its the same for everyone but the song makes me feel like i'm going through a panic attack and would love to hear what you think about it~
OMG YESSSSSSSSS i’m so proud for recommending this 😂😂😂 the comfort secret secret and silent cry has been, to me personally, i cant even explain it using mere words. the first time i listened to secret secret without even knowing the lyrics, i sobbed for an hour straight, then i looked up the lyrics and proceeded to sob again 😂 can you please get to know them a bit better tho cause like them as a person is also interesting, probably check out a guide, or “just [member name] things” like “just Bang Chan things”
For the lyric "ill say your okay in your stead", its could be referencing a struggle Han has talked about before. He said he often cant fully speak what he thinks in front of people, it gets srambeled or he is to scared to speak up (relate with that cuz of social anxiety lol). So it can turn into aggression or not being able to apologise or speak about what he needs in meetings. Often he would not be able to speak up in meetings because of everyone and then would be forced in situations he couldn't handle. So as a solution he would talk to one person, often a member, and they would go tell everyone else what he's thinking. Silent cry I think is also a response to anyone that would feel this way, its an important song to many so its nice to know that.
As a Seungmin bias, I agree. 😉🙈 Lol can’t wait to see your reaction to their new songs “Christmas EveL” & another song that Han wrote called “Winter Falls” Christmas EveL song & album is dropping Nov 29th 6pm kst, the entire Christmas album is going to be good! If you want on your own time, they have 2 teasers you can check out. One for Christmas EveL & Winter Falls. Stray Kids have some of, if not the best marketing content, their teasers/trailers feel like movie trailers lol
I recomend you " grow up " by stray kids. Thats song really hit me hard. I remember cry offer 1 hour because thats song...thats really heal me...sorry if my english not good
Will you please please react to The View? Its a song onto the aftermath of a difficult situation. Written in 2019, it reflects their feelings during that period
I may have cried a few times watching you explain certain things I experienced that I didn't even realize were caused by depression. Unfortunately I didn't have a support group and had to deal with it on my own so I never really noticed the changes I had because of it. I'm doing good now but I try my best to make sure my friends atleast have me as a support now
I'm so sorry you ever experienced that. I'm glad you're doing better and being a great support to your friends! 💙💙 Symptoms within depression and, in general, mental illness take many different forms. I always recommend chatting with a mental health professional so that they can look at yours specifically and then can come up with a plan with you on how to work on overcoming them! 🙂
The reason for me this song hits hard is because I believe every word they sing. The more i heard about this group and their charisma the more their lyrics hit. Their friendship, the way they care for each other and their fans... Chan singing he will support you, I know he is that kind of person who will do that unconditionaly. That made me really feel it and that is the biggest reason I truly feel their support. Ty for this vid.
i have know SKZ for so long you dont know how much they mean so much to me deep in my heart. i stan a lot of groups BUT Stray Kids is the one who made me felt the connection and the actual feelings deep inside my heart all the sadness, anxiety, struggles. they are the one who help me to speak the words from the inside of me. i love their songs so much, i love them all so much. there is more than just Silent Cry, like right now there is Scars. some other songs for example Side Effect, Voices, I Hate to Admit, Grow up, Another Day, Alien, Streetlight and so much more. Seriously they are the best and they mean the whole world to me
AHHHH THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO SILENT CRY❣️❣️❣️ I recommend reacting to Han’s (one of the member in Stray Kids) song, Alien. His solo songs always has such amazing lyrics that really sticks to my heart, but “Alien” really stuck to me and it is an extremely relatable song. I would also recommend “Voices” and “TMT” by Stray Kids as well :) These two are my personal favourites and they both have very deep and meaningful lyrics! I love watching your videos and listening to you talk about all the aspects in these songs
Agreed, I cried so much because of Alien it's unreal. Like, I have been comforted with skz's songs before and I related to them but Alien hit harder than anything else.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, this video made me feel safe, understood and supported. I can relate to the lyrics and your amazing reaction to them is therapeutic to me, thank you!
My best part of the whole song is 'i will say you are okay instead of you'....really nice....Another song that hit me hard was 'Blueprint'....the world trying to block you and all that...i did not see it coming
Thank you for this. Even though it hits too close to home and making me feel fragile, it’s so important to talk about mental illness. I love how Stray Kids use their art to bring up very personal topics. Not just in an honest way, but also musically engaging. You want to listen to these songs.
When the album came out and I listened to this song with the lyrics I cried non stop for 10 minutes sitting in my living room alone, I felt like they were singing just for me, I'm sure a lot of stays felt the same. Thankfully it's not a slow song or I'd be crying still 😂 Thanks for reacting to skz, I'm new but like your videos a lot ❤
Stray Kids lyrics are what made me a fan of them. I have a chronic illness called POTS and have struggled with anxiety and depression because of it so finding a group that has such relatable, supportive, and encouraging music has been so comforting and motivating to me
I'm actually so curious what you would say about Stray Kids - Side Effects. It's their most controversial song, but it has SO much meaning. I genuinely hope you'll eventually get to this one! Also check out Changbin's SKZ- Player called Streetlight (ft. Bang Chan), and as many others in this chat have already said: Scars, Voices, Slump, Hellevator:)
I really like this song, this song makes me feel like someone is listening to me, and want me tell what make me sad, every i fell sad i always hear this song, and the melody makes us more enthusiastic , Next please reaction Stray kids "chronosaurus"
I have an NPF diagnosis, and have struggled for the majority of my life with all that comes with it, including depression and anxiety and burnout (at the same time, that was a wild ride). What the boys said in this song... it's everything I wanted to hear when I was at my worst, and reading the translation has me in tears. I sort of accidentally fell into listening to Stray Kids, because of their hype hard hitting songs. Now I may be in it for real, when they talk emotions like this. The group that got me into Skz was BTOB, btw. Another group with deeply emotional lyrics and wonderful vocals! Would highly recommend giving them a listen.
Did I expect to cry for 17 minutes and 34 seconds straight? Nope, but hey! Here we are. This is the song that made me really look at how I was feeling and gave me the push to go and seek help. Thank you for reacting to it 💜
omg u HAVE to react to skz changbin's Streetlight! it was released during the mental health awareness month it encourages people to speak up about battling mental health concerns and spreading awareness and everything and the lyrics are BEAUTIFUL
Stray Kids is known for touching these topics, they make their own music so they put their own experiences there, one of their mission is to share that they also go throught this phase same with anyone else in the world. They want to spread a message with their music, that we are indeed stray kids everywhere all around the world. This is why SKZ is very important to me, a lot of us find comfort in them. Their song Grow Up is literally my go to song whenever I wanna feel comforted, I highly recommend that to your next videos~
I feel like Silent Cry also plays into a lot of what HAN wrote about when he wrote Another Day. I think Another Day, Secret Secret, and Silent Cry follow the same thread so to speak. Basically I'm saying to please check out Another Day. Also Grow Up because it's similar to Silent Cry in terms of being a safety net/support song for a lot of us. I really appreciate these videos of yours because, as someone who has gone through and is going through a lot of the things you're talking about, I feel so validated in the comfort I get from SKZ's music (i even have their lyrics tattooed so i think that says a lot lol)
Thank you for the reaction, it was just as amazing as your secret secret one. I feel very thankful to stray kids for using their platform to speak about important issues such as mental health, it's a side of them not many people get to see unfortunately because they only take the time to listen to their "noisier" music such as the title tracks you've reacted to (which is fine tbh, to each their own). Anyways, I hope you have a nice day!
i just discovered this account today and kahskjdjs silent cry sounds very depressing like i listened to it without subs but the feeling and mood felt so heavy that i cried without knowing the actual meaning of the song😭
I agree with all the recommendations they gave you. I would include "The View" so you can hear and read the other side, that is, when you already feel better after a storm. Thanks for listening to Stray Kids.
Loved your reaction! Just wanted to suggest something in case you were interested in getting to know the members a little better. They have a little series on their channel called One Kids Room, with 8 episodes, one for each member. It's basically one member in a room alone talking about themselves, while the other seven are in another room talking about that member together, discussing their personality, past experiences, etc. I highly recommend checking that out if you wanted to get to know them better and I for one would love to watch your reaction to each of the members!
As someone who suffers from depression anxiety and ptsd Stray Kids music especially Changbin’s - Streetlight’s hits home and let’s me know that there are others that understand. I especially love Chans room and the fact that he has said publicly he is there and understands. But it also hurts sometimes to watch because there has been times that some send him cruel comments, one episode he was told to unalive himself, or hate him. Actually Lee Know, Changbin and Seungmin have lives with horrible things said to them😢
Stray kids are making a comeback on November 29, btw! Check the album out when it's released! Also if you want to react, react to Sunshine too. One of my favourite tracks from them, written by Han. Also Slump is good too.
I know others have requested it but PLEASE analyze "Scars" as I've been working on a video essay/project using it to explore trauma/recovery and insight from a professional would be an IMMENSE help!!
I founded skz when I was going through some really hard times; their music and presence brought me joy and helped me cope with it. Later this year, they came back with this song which was really cool because that kind of support the song is talking about is what I felt from them during that time. I felt really related to the lyrics and like I wasn't alone again, that's why I think their music and how they are always talking about this topics, sharing their own experiences, is so important
Wow, love love ur reaction! As a stay, I'm so happy when someone took their time to appreciate SKZ's music especially their lyrics ❤️ If you interested, I would love to recommend MINSUNG (lee know+han) friendship. I would love to hear your thoughts about their dynamic. Thanks!
I got 2 things to say. First, I really love Stray Kids although I'm still new in knowing them and I really like seeing you breaking down their song while explaining about mental health issues. So, I hope you'll keep on digging into their works because they're all so talented. Second thing is that I do relate to the part where you mentioned there are 2 types of people that would understand the lyrics which is the practitioner in psychology field and the ones who've been through it. Before this, I've never realised that I was actually going through depression and anxiety at least not until my doctor asked me to be diagnosed for mental health. But it is just like you've said. We all have our masks on in front of others that sometimes we didn't even know what's real & what's not. To the point that the only safe place we can think of is our ownselves and yet dangerous at the same time. And the fact that we tend to push away the ones that really care for us & wanted to help eventhough we really yearned for help deep inside is definitely true which makes it even worse. However, I kinda find comfort from watching your video which reminds me that there are many more who felt this feeling as I do and at least I'm not alone in that sense. So, thank you🌻✨ And I have a list of recommendation for you below so please react to them! I'm really excited for it! 1) Sorry, I Love You 2) Cause I Like You (Changbin & Felix) 3) Gone Away (Han, Seungmin & IN) 4) SLUMP (both the Japanese version & First Take version) 5) Voices 6) 19 7) Chronosaurus 8) Red Lights (Bang Chan & Hyunjin) 9) Mixtape: OH (both MV & First Take version) 10) Scars (Japanese version) 11) Alien 12) You Can Stay (A song from straykids for their fans which are known as Stays to express their thank you & appreciation for all the support & love. It's a very touching song tho)
Stray Kids' lyrics are really something and I'm glad to finally to see a perspective from someone in your field. Their solo projects tend to be especially emotional and deep and I can't wait to see your reactions on them especially Changbin's "Streetlight". His lyricism there is on another level
I love how you explain the meaning of the lyrics from piece to piece, Star Lost is also a masterpiece from the album. Hope to see you breakdown that one.
3Racha really put their true selves out there when composing the songs. They don’t put fluff lyrics out there. I greedily wish they were native English speakers so we could have these songs in my language. I am thankful for what I do get in English. I love Stray Kids for their range of song genres, topics and amazing stage performances. I enjoyed your breakdown. Thanks! Edit: Also, Felix is this group’s lure. He appeals to men AND women and then when you’re in, you fall in love with all of them lol We’ve all been there. Welcome.
Thank you for reacting to skz, ive seen a lot of stay’s suggestions and those are really great, I just want to add ‘The View’ its a really good and meaningful song…. 3rd eye, Awaken, Mirror are my favs(atm lol, it changes a lot), Slump is also by Han, Streetlight by changbin and a lot more, can’t wait for ur next reactions!!!
As someone who is into psychology, had suffer from depression and a fan of StrayKids, I really enjoy your reaction video and at the same time I learned a lot. Looking forward for your other contents.
I can't explain in words How much I fall in love with this song This song hit different for me Lyrics made me cry I was like nobody can understand a personal feelings and relate to them Than these group They are now everything to me So beautiful song ❤️
The withering smile... I’m so glad I watched this video bcuz I’ve done that unconsciously, but I genuinely appreciate the conversation but whenever I leave I go from smiling to stone cold face. I thought I was fake... I that it was weird and I just now realised that it happens to other people.
I love your videos since I get to learn something new about a topic I am genuinely interested about. I see requests for other songs like Scars, Streetlight, Alien, etc. but I WOULD definitely hope for a reaction to Side Effects or Chronosaurus (but I'm leaning more into the former) since most of their mental health-focused songs often focus more on the comforting/encouraging aspect of mental health. What I do like about Side Effects is it describes the messy/chaotic stuff of mental health issues and the music itself is headache-inducing experience. Idk if Chronosaurus is 100% going by a similar mental health theme, but I find the lyrics and the beat itself unsettling in a really nice way (it's also one of my favorite SKZ songs). Anyways, take your time and thanks for the learnings!
lol the other day i was quietly crying in my blankets when this song started crying and i realised what was playing i only sobbed harder hahahahaaa it was such a perfect song with great timing and they omg yes i do love how their lyrics about mental health are actually relatable rather than based off stereotypes. it definitely helps in comforting their audience and each other (cuz the members also like to listen to their own songs)
The fact that these relatable & meaningful lyrics are written by stray kids themselves makes the song 1000 times more touching 🤧🥺 ❤ tysm for the explanation 🙏😊
No Easy is probably my favorite Stray Kids Album other than Rock Star. Because the songs in that album speaks to me and relates to me and yes a lot of other SKZ songs are relatable but No Easy just gets me so well even Red Lights.
Thank you! Yes, appreciate the breakdown of their meanings, especially in the context of a mental health professional. See why Stay like myself (a fossil Stay - a jest amoung some of the older Stay) are Deeply touched by their lyrics. From day one (just after their debut) thought 'dayam if only the KDZ had been around during my youth!!!" yet still today their honest reflection of their own experiences helps with the difficulty of daily life. Especially in the time of Covid , without them the world would be a darker place! Not many people openly discuss in music what Stray Kids does. If you ever have a chance please look at some of the short vids here in RUclips about BangChan's Vlive, he is called our Therapist
In all straykids albums there is that one song that be your mental and emotional attachment to them. Silent Cry made so emotionally that I get chills every time I listen to it. Its by far the best song and anyone battling mental breakdown can relate
Ok usually I’d come here to recommend some more skz songs but I already left a long list on your last skz video and I still really recommend checking out all of the ones I suggested as they are amazing but I also wanted to recommend a couple of the Rose’s songs! One that really hits hard for me is she’s in the rain. It’s beautiful and has some of my favorite lyrics like you wanna hurt yourself Ill stay with you you wanna make yourself go through that pain it’s better to be held than holding on we’re in the rain. Another great one is insomnia! All of their stuff is beautiful but those two in particular have really touched me and I’d love to see your takes on them!
I would love to watch more videos with breakdowns like this. Some other Stray kids songs that come to mind are Levanter, Star Lost, Hellevator and Streetlight(by changbin)
This song makes me cry every time because it's a message I tell to everyone I know but need to hear myself. Stray Kids are open about their struggles and share messages through their music. They make me feel heard and seen and it's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life. Love your reactions!!
I want to recommend to you one of the songs that's i'm in love with. "You can STAY" is one of less popular songs from Stray Kids but I love that song very much. This song is one very big "thank you" from the Boys for every STAY in the world, and you can see how thankful they are that we are here and we just live and adore them
Before Silent Cry, my comfort song from SKZ was Phobia because of it was very relatable which comforted me while still being a song that didn’t sound like every other song that you made me feel understood. Silent Cry was like a bulldozer when I first heard it. I don’t know Korean but when I listened to it without seeing the lyrics I instantly felt a large feeling of comfort envelop me. As someone who watches a lot of anime, I had this visual image of the moment a character breaks down and is just releasing all of their emotions running while crying and screaming. Idk if that’s just because of the high bpm and almost techno feel of the music but that’s what came to mind first. There’s certain parts of the song where I felt a release if my own stress that had built up and reading the lyrics both affirmed those feelings and amplified them (especially since they came from a group of people that I had been following for a while). When someone says that they will be there for you to just listen and find you when you try to hide within your heart is such an amazing feeling even if its just from a song. Love this reaction btw!!
Thanks for the reaction to stray kids silent cry, i recommend to you please check streetlight ( Changbin Stray Kids ) this song very deep and meaningful, and Scars, alien, Levanter, starlost too I hope you like it with my recommendation 💗💗
Loved the video! Would really recommend you to hear/see 'Side Effects'. It was a song panned by many as it's not a conventional K-pop song but I think it's just beautiful and literally evokes feelings of panic and high-octane energy. It talks about side effects of fame and listening to others opinions and how it's changing them as people...
I really love that you love seungmin alot❤🤭😉🤧as a seungmin biased person I feel you🙈he's so cute pretty and hot at the same time I'm losing my consciousness when watching him😝❤anyway thanks for your lovely reaction💜💜💜💜💜
If you want to learn more about the boys I recommend reacting to “an introduction to stray kids 2020 edition” I know it’s 2020 but I feel like this one is the best laid out.
I really love so much this song, really hits me too hear it when I actually feel sad is like a hug. Iam studying graphic designer and as a homework i have to graphic a song and choose this one cause is really powerfull for me, but i didnt have clear where to start so your video helps me, thank you! Please keep reacting to more Stray Kids song cause they have a lot of this thematic.
I really hope you can react to Scars by them. It's a Japanese song by them and I suggest the first take video of scars. In First take, they did it live and all in one take and the video too have lyrics (the MV for Scars doesn't have lyrics). Apart from Scars, I hope you can check out Grow up MV and Voices too. Those songs were a little bit older because it was back in their debut days. Skz discography mostly touch the topic about mental health and they are 100% self produced (from the lyrics of the songs to the beats, they made everything because they have producers who are the members in the group).
The song ‘Slump’ written by Han Jisung always hits me lyrics wise, simple but painful. He wrote it when he was in a dark time. There is a music video and a First Take, but it’s the Japanese version which is good, but the English translation of the Japanese lyrics aren’t as good as the English lyrics from the English version. There are obviously lyric videos and someone put the English version and lyrics together with the video of the First Take. The song itself was used for the ending credits of an anime.
I also liked the song’s beats since the first time I’ve heard it but when I finally read the lyrics - it got to me. I literally saw myself in the lyrics and it broke me down, sobbing. As this is the pattern that I have been following for almost all of my years, especially when having nervous/mental breakdowns, I always go into my room and silently cry in their so no of my family members would notice it as I don’t want to disturb them with what I am going through, no matter what it is. But with Stray Kids and Silent Cry, what I’ve noticed, is that once after having a hard day at work and holding a lot of inside of myself as I stepped out of the bus on my way home, listening to music, Silent Cry came in and I immediately broke down into tears, letting myself to let go. Bc with Stray Kids it literally feels like I can open up to them, even through their songs like this. Their songs are so relatable and this is what I find so incredible about them and as one of the things that hooks you in. Also the songs that I have been relating to a lot, especially last spring when going through my own burnouts and having constant anxiety at the time and not knowing what to do next - "Another Day" and "Slump" really helped to keep holding on to smth, despite all the thoughts I’ve had. The lyrics both of those really described me at the time and cried so much to them even more bc of it, like I am going through the same things that are being literally sung in there. I’m in a much better place now, still a long way to go to deal with anxiety, but still. So check out “Slump" (there is three versions - Korean, Japanese and English) and “Another Day", think you’d like to analyze them. Thank you for your breakdown of the song, it was really interesting to listen what you can say about it~
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m a new STAY and I didn’t realize these lyrics were so meaningful. Thank you for breaking it down, thank you for spreading positivity and awareness of mental health. I stumbled upon your channel through your Stray Kids reactions and I’m so happy to be here! Loved this video :)
Really glad I found this channel. I fall for Stray Kids bcs of their lyrics, they released Grow Up in the right time :"). I really recomend you to react to Changbin's Streetlight
![Natanael Cano - Amor Eterno [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EO4prCs6WpM/mqdefault.jpg)
I don't think song lyrics have hit me as hard as "I'll say 'you're okay' in your stead" did in the last couple of years. It made me feel incredibly understood.
Omg same, something about that line feels so comforting and understanding. I cried like a baby when I first read the lyrics :’)
same for me, I wanna have tattoo with this line + lino is my bias
When i first listened to this song, i was dancing but then when i looked up the lyrics i started sobbing😭 stray kids has done this before. the beat is kinda hype and then the lyrics is giving a completely different vibe. Silent Cry is one of my favorite songs in the NOEASY album. i love ur breakdown cant wait to see ur other stray kids reactions.
Thanks Lyanda! I completely agree! If I weren't paying attention to the lyrics, I would have no idea!
@@Psynergic there's another song in the album with the same vibe! Happy song but precious lyrics: star lost
And I am, too.
what other songs have an upbeat style but sadder lyrics that you’re talking about?
I’m currently a Psychology major so it was very interesting to see your breakdown of this song!
Here are other songs that I HIGHLY recommend that I would love for you to break down:
Scars: Embracing the scars they have endured to move forward (this one is in Japanese and they don’t have subtitles for their MV)
Changbin’s “Streetlight”: Being someone’s shoulder but also needing someone to lean on as well (MV but no lyrics)
Han’s “Alien”: Feeling different or left out (was based on Han’s trainee days) (audio but with subtitles)
The one thing that I will always remember when listening to these types of SKZ songs is that they said they “never lie” in their music. Their lyrics are pure and genuine and because of that, their songs really stand out! I hope you react to these songs!
I so happy you enjoyed the video! Good luck with your studies and thank you for the recommendations! 🙂💙
you can react to Scars on The First Take as well. There they put the english subtitles. and they sing the song live in only one take
ohh Streetlight gets in the feels. ♡
@@lyandaespadas I second the scars first take recommendation! In addition to the english lyrics, you can hear their vocals in hi def!
And so please Side Effects!!
The fact that they wrote songs on their own makes a stronger grip to fans emotion. This is a message from stray kids, conveyed through music and for stays to relate and learn.
Slump is the first song Han write after his hiatus because of Anxiety. Would be great if you react to it
As someone with a music degree and starting to studying music therapy …. I am sooooo glad I came across your channel. Their music is amazing for so many reasons… the lyrics are so honest and truthful, their talent is ridiculous and they are great guys. I love your approach and breakdown from a psychological stance. Thank you!
Thank you, Valerie! I have a few friends who are music therapists and I have witnessed the power of music in certain therapeutic situations.
Good luck with your studies!
Before I say anything else, I'd recommend reacting to both the Scars MV and their The First Take live performance! I dunno if you've heard of it, but it's a Japanese series where the artists have to sing live in one take and it's posted no matter the results. The First Take has the lyrics in the video and is a beautiful showcase of their talents. :)
I've followed Stray Kids since late 2017, early 2018, when I was struggling with my mental and physical health more than any other time. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder at thirteen, and now in my twenties I still deal with it. I'm better in some ways, and worse in others. But for the past few years, I've had Stray Kids and their music. I've always felt understood and comforted by their lyrics, and the members themselves sharing their struggles and supportive words have impacted my life. I remember very specifically that in one livestream, the leader Chan essentially said that our voices are all precious, and there will always be people who want to hear and listen to us. At that time, my anxiety was so bad I couldn't even tell my family, who I love very much, about my day or my interests. It felt impossible to open my mouth and speak. But those few moments, his reassurance, gave me the courage to try. I'm still not entirely over that battle, but his words have stuck with me through these years. Stray Kids really GETS it, and they're not afraid to show that. It's something very precious to me, and many other people. Silent Cry is truly one of my favorite from the NOEASY album, because it doubles as a response to Secret Secret and are their words to the fans. Chan says we can always find them when we need help. Now, I know it's not a healthy boundary between fan and idol to dump everything on them, but just knowing that they're willing to hear is more than enough. They're truly wonderful people and I'm happy to be their fan. 💞
(Top recommendation are: Scars, Another Day, Slump (Also has a The First Take video with lyrics!), and Changbin's Streetlight)
I'm definitely getting that sense from them and that's likely why i've been so drawn to them. I'm so happy I decided to "Jump" and do that first reaction - I truly did not know how much I would love them! 🙂
I will definitely have to check that video out! Thank you for suggesting it! 💙
It`s like you say. I´m struggling with anxiety and depression since my childhood, but since the last year, it gets worst. 3 months ago, I reached my lowest point and I had to fight very hard to stand up again.
At that time I discovered Stray Kids. And it was the best thing that could happen to me. At no point in my life have I ever felt so understood.
Thanks to your words @Alice Hwang because it´s very helpful to know, that I´m not alone🙏
And a big THANK YOU to @Psynergic ! Your reactions to these songs help me a lot. Everything you said about these lyrics and about mental health/anxiety is absolutely what I feel/experienced.
And it helps me to unterstand these lyrics a little bit better, because my english isn´t the best 😅
@@stxrl_st You're definitely not alone!! I've met one of my closest friends through our shared love for Stray Kids, and bonded because we both found them exactly when we needed them. I think it's something a lot of STAYs experience. I'm so glad that you have the kids to help you, and I hope you're having a good day. 💞
@@alicehwang9266Thank you! 🙏🏻🥰
Oh yes! Being Stay is something very beautiful and I don't want to miss it🖤
Stayyy♡If you want to talk when you feel bad, we are always here💖Please always remember this.
Stray Kids+Stay=FAM🧡
Secret, secret and silent cry are my favorites from the new album. Other songs I recommend are "Mirror", "Voices", "Levanter", "M.I.A", "Another day", "19", "Ex"... there's a lot of songs! Every single one of their songs, at least for me, are meaningful, beautiful and some are strong, happy and funny. I would love to accompany you in your stray kids journey 🫂💕 thanks for react to my children ❤
as another M.I.A. and Another Day enthusiast, i can vouch for this! skz has a way with their lyrics and subjects for songs and they all mean so much to us! i’d also recommend songs like awkward silence, airplane, and gone days for their more upbeat happy, but equally impactful lyrics regarding socializing, adults and the current generation, and just all around having fun as themselves!
@@frances211 YES! I second this too hahaha
Thank you so much! I'll make sure all of these are on my list! I will also do interviews and vlogs eventually! I definitely want to learn more about them! I'm excited to share more with you all soon! 🙂
Oh yes levanter. My go to crying song..
@@Psynergic excited to see your insights and reactions aaa! thank you so much and welcome to the stay journey!
The moment you said that not everyone has that kind of support system, that broke my heart. Because it a sad, harsh truth of reality. I have a friend that moved to another country who have depression, & although I tried to be the best support that she has, the long distance wasn't really working. So I was hoping that her family and the new friends would be enough. Then her mom died, her mental health dropped down from that & cuz his whole family was still grieving no one really paid close enough attention to her. She died of suicide last week, and I'm here praying for her dad and 10yrs old brother to be okay.
It is a sad reality for so many. Like I mentioned in the video, that's something we would work on in therapy too - building a support network.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I hope that you are doing okay. I'm sending all my positive vibes your way today. Please, take care 💙💙💙💙
Please react to scars, its also one of their songs that gives me strength and motivation to continue and move forward.
I definitely related to the lyrics of Secret Secret as someone who is depressed, but the Silent Cry lyrics hurt way more. For me, I would always try and hide my depression and pretend to be okay because I didn't want anyone to be bothered or burdened by my internal struggles. So hearing a song from the perspective of a person watching their loved one go through (presumably) depression hit me very hard.
I AM SOO HAPPY YOU REACTED TO THIS SONG. its the first song that came to mind when you talked about mental illness.
I’m so glad you all suggested it! Thank you! 💙
this is the reason why i love skz's lyrics, they allow listeners to have look, if not a peek, at their emotions and this video made me appreciate silent cry's lyrics all the more. thank you for this!
a lot of the comments have recommended good songs and skz does talk a lot about mental health. i would just like to add side effects to list of recommendations. idk if its the same for everyone but the song makes me feel like i'm going through a panic attack and would love to hear what you think about it~
Silent Cry is a masterpiece
OMG YESSSSSSSSS i’m so proud for recommending this 😂😂😂
the comfort secret secret and silent cry has been, to me personally, i cant even explain it using mere words. the first time i listened to secret secret without even knowing the lyrics, i sobbed for an hour straight, then i looked up the lyrics and proceeded to sob again 😂
can you please get to know them a bit better tho cause like them as a person is also interesting, probably check out a guide, or “just [member name] things” like “just Bang Chan things”
For the lyric "ill say your okay in your stead", its could be referencing a struggle Han has talked about before. He said he often cant fully speak what he thinks in front of people, it gets srambeled or he is to scared to speak up (relate with that cuz of social anxiety lol). So it can turn into aggression or not being able to apologise or speak about what he needs in meetings. Often he would not be able to speak up in meetings because of everyone and then would be forced in situations he couldn't handle. So as a solution he would talk to one person, often a member, and they would go tell everyone else what he's thinking. Silent cry I think is also a response to anyone that would feel this way, its an important song to many so its nice to know that.
As a Seungmin bias, I agree. 😉🙈 Lol can’t wait to see your reaction to their new songs “Christmas EveL” & another song that Han wrote called “Winter Falls”
Christmas EveL song & album is dropping Nov 29th 6pm kst, the entire Christmas album is going to be good! If you want on your own time, they have 2 teasers you can check out. One for Christmas EveL & Winter Falls. Stray Kids have some of, if not the best marketing content, their teasers/trailers feel like movie trailers lol
I recomend you " grow up " by stray kids. Thats song really hit me hard. I remember cry offer 1 hour because thats song...thats really heal me...sorry if my english not good
I feel like everymembers understands the essence of their song everytime, not just 3racha who writes it.
Will you please please react to The View? Its a song onto the aftermath of a difficult situation. Written in 2019, it reflects their feelings during that period
Bonus!! There is an MV!!!!
I’ll make sure this is on my list of songs 🙂 thanks for recommending!! 💙💙
I may have cried a few times watching you explain certain things I experienced that I didn't even realize were caused by depression. Unfortunately I didn't have a support group and had to deal with it on my own so I never really noticed the changes I had because of it. I'm doing good now but I try my best to make sure my friends atleast have me as a support now
I'm so sorry you ever experienced that. I'm glad you're doing better and being a great support to your friends! 💙💙
Symptoms within depression and, in general, mental illness take many different forms. I always recommend chatting with a mental health professional so that they can look at yours specifically and then can come up with a plan with you on how to work on overcoming them! 🙂
The reason for me this song hits hard is because I believe every word they sing. The more i heard about this group and their charisma the more their lyrics hit. Their friendship, the way they care for each other and their fans... Chan singing he will support you, I know he is that kind of person who will do that unconditionaly. That made me really feel it and that is the biggest reason I truly feel their support. Ty for this vid.
Knowing Stray kids music exist is literally one of the best things that happened to me over the last 3 years🥺❤️
Lol Seungmin really is so handsome and has such a gorgeous voice!!! People generally rarely notice him so I'm glad you noticed my bias
Yeah🥺🤝💜💜💜💜💜💜
i have know SKZ for so long you dont know how much they mean so much to me deep in my heart. i stan a lot of groups BUT Stray Kids is the one who made me felt the connection and the actual feelings deep inside my heart all the sadness, anxiety, struggles. they are the one who help me to speak the words from the inside of me. i love their songs so much, i love them all so much. there is more than just Silent Cry, like right now there is Scars. some other songs for example Side Effect, Voices, I Hate to Admit, Grow up, Another Day, Alien, Streetlight and so much more. Seriously they are the best and they mean the whole world to me
AHHHH THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO SILENT CRY❣️❣️❣️
I recommend reacting to Han’s (one of the member in Stray Kids) song, Alien.
His solo songs always has such amazing lyrics that really sticks to my heart, but “Alien” really stuck to me and it is an extremely relatable song.
I would also recommend “Voices” and “TMT” by Stray Kids as well :)
These two are my personal favourites and they both have very deep and meaningful lyrics!
I love watching your videos and listening to you talk about all the aspects in these songs
Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendations and I’m so happy you’re enjoying my videos! 💙💙💙
Agreed, I cried so much because of Alien it's unreal. Like, I have been comforted with skz's songs before and I related to them but Alien hit harder than anything else.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, this video made me feel safe, understood and supported. I can relate to the lyrics and your amazing reaction to them is therapeutic to me, thank you!
My best part of the whole song is 'i will say you are okay instead of you'....really nice....Another song that hit me hard was 'Blueprint'....the world trying to block you and all that...i did not see it coming
Thank you for this. Even though it hits too close to home and making me feel fragile, it’s so important to talk about mental illness. I love how Stray Kids use their art to bring up very personal topics. Not just in an honest way, but also musically engaging. You want to listen to these songs.
When the album came out and I listened to this song with the lyrics I cried non stop for 10 minutes sitting in my living room alone, I felt like they were singing just for me, I'm sure a lot of stays felt the same. Thankfully it's not a slow song or I'd be crying still 😂
Thanks for reacting to skz, I'm new but like your videos a lot ❤
Stray Kids lyrics are what made me a fan of them. I have a chronic illness called POTS and have struggled with anxiety and depression because of it so finding a group that has such relatable, supportive, and encouraging music has been so comforting and motivating to me
Both this song and BangChan's "I dont want to admit" (which i recommend you check out too if you havent!) are my biggest comforts songs
seungmin is the cute man that we adore 😂
I'm actually so curious what you would say about Stray Kids - Side Effects. It's their most controversial song, but it has SO much meaning. I genuinely hope you'll eventually get to this one!
Also check out Changbin's SKZ- Player called Streetlight (ft. Bang Chan), and as many others in this chat have already said: Scars, Voices, Slump, Hellevator:)
I really like this song, this song makes me feel like someone is listening to me, and want me tell what make me sad, every i fell sad i always hear this song, and the melody makes us more enthusiastic ,
Next please reaction Stray kids "chronosaurus"
I have an NPF diagnosis, and have struggled for the majority of my life with all that comes with it, including depression and anxiety and burnout (at the same time, that was a wild ride). What the boys said in this song... it's everything I wanted to hear when I was at my worst, and reading the translation has me in tears. I sort of accidentally fell into listening to Stray Kids, because of their hype hard hitting songs. Now I may be in it for real, when they talk emotions like this.
The group that got me into Skz was BTOB, btw. Another group with deeply emotional lyrics and wonderful vocals! Would highly recommend giving them a listen.
Did I expect to cry for 17 minutes and 34 seconds straight? Nope, but hey! Here we are.
This is the song that made me really look at how I was feeling and gave me the push to go and seek help. Thank you for reacting to it 💜
It’s wonderful how they can incorporate beautiful and deep meanings with a “loud” music.
i really think that this song is healing, maybe it's how I believe in it, I don't know, but it's definitely a great song
omg u HAVE to react to skz changbin's Streetlight! it was released during the mental health awareness month it encourages people to speak up about battling mental health concerns and spreading awareness and everything and the lyrics are BEAUTIFUL
I also want to recommend Grow up by stray kids. this is one of my favorite songs and it has gotten me through a lot
Thanks for the reaction and i like your words 😍 now u should check out their Japanese song comeback called Scars 🥺 hope u like it!
Thank you so very much! I can’t wait to see more!
Stray Kids is known for touching these topics, they make their own music so they put their own experiences there, one of their mission is to share that they also go throught this phase same with anyone else in the world. They want to spread a message with their music, that we are indeed stray kids everywhere all around the world. This is why SKZ is very important to me, a lot of us find comfort in them. Their song Grow Up is literally my go to song whenever I wanna feel comforted, I highly recommend that to your next videos~
I feel like Silent Cry also plays into a lot of what HAN wrote about when he wrote Another Day. I think Another Day, Secret Secret, and Silent Cry follow the same thread so to speak. Basically I'm saying to please check out Another Day. Also Grow Up because it's similar to Silent Cry in terms of being a safety net/support song for a lot of us. I really appreciate these videos of yours because, as someone who has gone through and is going through a lot of the things you're talking about, I feel so validated in the comfort I get from SKZ's music (i even have their lyrics tattooed so i think that says a lot lol)
I’m so happy you reacted to skz again!! 🧏
Thank you for the reaction, it was just as amazing as your secret secret one. I feel very thankful to stray kids for using their platform to speak about important issues such as mental health, it's a side of them not many people get to see unfortunately because they only take the time to listen to their "noisier" music such as the title tracks you've reacted to (which is fine tbh, to each their own). Anyways, I hope you have a nice day!
Thank you so much, Kirjava! 💙💙
I can’t wait to see more of their work!
The beginning of this song always makes me think of the lanaryu desert region from skyward sword.
i just discovered this account today and kahskjdjs silent cry sounds very depressing like i listened to it without subs but the feeling and mood felt so heavy that i cried without knowing the actual meaning of the song😭
I agree with all the recommendations they gave you. I would include "The View" so you can hear and read the other side, that is, when you already feel better after a storm.
Thanks for listening to Stray Kids.
Loved your reaction! Just wanted to suggest something in case you were interested in getting to know the members a little better. They have a little series on their channel called One Kids Room, with 8 episodes, one for each member. It's basically one member in a room alone talking about themselves, while the other seven are in another room talking about that member together, discussing their personality, past experiences, etc. I highly recommend checking that out if you wanted to get to know them better and I for one would love to watch your reaction to each of the members!
As someone who suffers from depression anxiety and ptsd Stray Kids music especially Changbin’s - Streetlight’s hits home and let’s me know that there are others that understand. I especially love Chans room and the fact that he has said publicly he is there and understands. But it also hurts sometimes to watch because there has been times that some send him cruel comments, one episode he was told to unalive himself, or hate him. Actually Lee Know, Changbin and Seungmin have lives with horrible things said to them😢
Stray kids are making a comeback on November 29, btw! Check the album out when it's released! Also if you want to react, react to Sunshine too. One of my favourite tracks from them, written by Han. Also Slump is good too.
I know others have requested it but PLEASE analyze "Scars" as I've been working on a video essay/project using it to explore trauma/recovery and insight from a professional would be an IMMENSE help!!
I really enjoyed ur reaction ❤️ I personally would like to reccomend Voices, Scars and Hellevator :)) these songs are great with deep lyrics also.
I have them in my list to react to! Thank you for recommending!
I founded skz when I was going through some really hard times; their music and presence brought me joy and helped me cope with it.
Later this year, they came back with this song which was really cool because that kind of support the song is talking about is what I felt from them during that time. I felt really related to the lyrics and like I wasn't alone again, that's why I think their music and how they are always talking about this topics, sharing their own experiences, is so important
Wow, love love ur reaction! As a stay, I'm so happy when someone took their time to appreciate SKZ's music especially their lyrics ❤️
If you interested, I would love to recommend MINSUNG (lee know+han) friendship. I would love to hear your thoughts about their dynamic. Thanks!
I got 2 things to say.
First, I really love Stray Kids although I'm still new in knowing them and I really like seeing you breaking down their song while explaining about mental health issues. So, I hope you'll keep on digging into their works because they're all so talented.
Second thing is that I do relate to the part where you mentioned there are 2 types of people that would understand the lyrics which is the practitioner in psychology field and the ones who've been through it. Before this, I've never realised that I was actually going through depression and anxiety at least not until my doctor asked me to be diagnosed for mental health. But it is just like you've said. We all have our masks on in front of others that sometimes we didn't even know what's real & what's not. To the point that the only safe place we can think of is our ownselves and yet dangerous at the same time. And the fact that we tend to push away the ones that really care for us & wanted to help eventhough we really yearned for help deep inside is definitely true which makes it even worse. However, I kinda find comfort from watching your video which reminds me that there are many more who felt this feeling as I do and at least I'm not alone in that sense. So, thank you🌻✨
And I have a list of recommendation for you below so please react to them! I'm really excited for it!
1) Sorry, I Love You
2) Cause I Like You (Changbin & Felix)
3) Gone Away (Han, Seungmin & IN)
4) SLUMP (both the Japanese version & First Take version)
5) Voices
6) 19
7) Chronosaurus
8) Red Lights (Bang Chan & Hyunjin)
9) Mixtape: OH (both MV & First Take version)
10) Scars (Japanese version)
11) Alien
12) You Can Stay (A song from straykids for their fans which are known as Stays to express their thank you & appreciation for all the support & love. It's a very touching song tho)
Stray Kids' lyrics are really something and I'm glad to finally to see a perspective from someone in your field. Their solo projects tend to be especially emotional and deep and I can't wait to see your reactions on them especially Changbin's "Streetlight". His lyricism there is on another level
I love how you explain the meaning of the lyrics from piece to piece, Star Lost is also a masterpiece from the album. Hope to see you breakdown that one.
silent cry is my favorite stray kids song, I just feel like they understand me :(
3Racha really put their true selves out there when composing the songs. They don’t put fluff lyrics out there. I greedily wish they were native English speakers so we could have these songs in my language. I am thankful for what I do get in English.
I love Stray Kids for their range of song genres, topics and amazing stage performances. I enjoyed your breakdown. Thanks!
Edit: Also, Felix is this group’s lure. He appeals to men AND women and then when you’re in, you fall in love with all of them lol We’ve all been there. Welcome.
Thank you for reacting to skz, ive seen a lot of stay’s suggestions and those are really great, I just want to add ‘The View’ its a really good and meaningful song….
3rd eye, Awaken, Mirror are my favs(atm lol, it changes a lot), Slump is also by Han, Streetlight by changbin and a lot more, can’t wait for ur next reactions!!!
As someone who is into psychology, had suffer from depression and a fan of StrayKids, I really enjoy your reaction video and at the same time I learned a lot. Looking forward for your other contents.
I can't explain in words
How much I fall in love with this song
This song hit different for me
Lyrics made me cry
I was like nobody can understand a personal feelings and relate to them
Than these group
They are now everything to me
So beautiful song ❤️
The withering smile... I’m so glad I watched this video bcuz I’ve done that unconsciously, but I genuinely appreciate the conversation but whenever I leave I go from smiling to stone cold face. I thought I was fake... I that it was weird and I just now realised that it happens to other people.
Watch Dear Evan Hanson 💙
@@Psynergic I will!
I love your videos since I get to learn something new about a topic I am genuinely interested about. I see requests for other songs like Scars, Streetlight, Alien, etc. but I WOULD definitely hope for a reaction to Side Effects or Chronosaurus (but I'm leaning more into the former) since most of their mental health-focused songs often focus more on the comforting/encouraging aspect of mental health. What I do like about Side Effects is it describes the messy/chaotic stuff of mental health issues and the music itself is headache-inducing experience. Idk if Chronosaurus is 100% going by a similar mental health theme, but I find the lyrics and the beat itself unsettling in a really nice way (it's also one of my favorite SKZ songs).
Anyways, take your time and thanks for the learnings!
lol the other day i was quietly crying in my blankets when this song started crying and i realised what was playing i only sobbed harder hahahahaaa it was such a perfect song with great timing and they
omg yes i do love how their lyrics about mental health are actually relatable rather than based off stereotypes. it definitely helps in comforting their audience and each other (cuz the members also like to listen to their own songs)
i really really recommend you alien by han's. its very accurate to how i feel and i really want to hug this man for comfort
Same
The fact that these relatable & meaningful lyrics are written by stray kids themselves makes the song 1000 times more touching 🤧🥺 ❤ tysm for the explanation 🙏😊
No Easy is probably my favorite Stray Kids Album other than Rock Star. Because the songs in that album speaks to me and relates to me and yes a lot of other SKZ songs are relatable but No Easy just gets me so well even Red Lights.
Thank you! Yes, appreciate the breakdown of their meanings, especially in the context of a mental health professional.
See why Stay like myself (a fossil Stay - a jest amoung some of the older Stay) are Deeply touched by their lyrics. From day one (just after their debut) thought 'dayam if only the KDZ had been around during my youth!!!" yet still today their honest reflection of their own experiences helps with the difficulty of daily life. Especially in the time of Covid , without them the world would be a darker place!
Not many people openly discuss in music what Stray Kids does. If you ever have a chance please look at some of the short vids here in RUclips about BangChan's Vlive, he is called our Therapist
I WAS WAITING FOR THISS
In all straykids albums there is that one song that be your mental and emotional attachment to them. Silent Cry made so emotionally that I get chills every time I listen to it. Its by far the best song and anyone battling mental breakdown can relate
Ok usually I’d come here to recommend some more skz songs but I already left a long list on your last skz video and I still really recommend checking out all of the ones I suggested as they are amazing but I also wanted to recommend a couple of the Rose’s songs! One that really hits hard for me is she’s in the rain. It’s beautiful and has some of my favorite lyrics like you wanna hurt yourself Ill stay with you you wanna make yourself go through that pain it’s better to be held than holding on we’re in the rain. Another great one is insomnia! All of their stuff is beautiful but those two in particular have really touched me and I’d love to see your takes on them!
I would love to watch more videos with breakdowns like this. Some other Stray kids songs that come to mind are Levanter, Star Lost, Hellevator and Streetlight(by changbin)
This song makes me cry every time because it's a message I tell to everyone I know but need to hear myself. Stray Kids are open about their struggles and share messages through their music. They make me feel heard and seen and it's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life. Love your reactions!!
You might want to listen to their song Voices, that song made me connect with them on an emotional level.
I want to recommend to you one of the songs that's i'm in love with. "You can STAY" is one of less popular songs from Stray Kids but I love that song very much. This song is one very big "thank you" from the Boys for every STAY in the world, and you can see how thankful they are that we are here and we just live and adore them
I really can't wait for you to react to more Stray Kids, you're gonna love them!!
Before Silent Cry, my comfort song from SKZ was Phobia because of it was very relatable which comforted me while still being a song that didn’t sound like every other song that you made me feel understood. Silent Cry was like a bulldozer when I first heard it. I don’t know Korean but when I listened to it without seeing the lyrics I instantly felt a large feeling of comfort envelop me. As someone who watches a lot of anime, I had this visual image of the moment a character breaks down and is just releasing all of their emotions running while crying and screaming. Idk if that’s just because of the high bpm and almost techno feel of the music but that’s what came to mind first. There’s certain parts of the song where I felt a release if my own stress that had built up and reading the lyrics both affirmed those feelings and amplified them (especially since they came from a group of people that I had been following for a while). When someone says that they will be there for you to just listen and find you when you try to hide within your heart is such an amazing feeling even if its just from a song.
Love this reaction btw!!
Thanks for the reaction to stray kids silent cry, i recommend to you please check streetlight ( Changbin Stray Kids ) this song very deep and meaningful, and Scars, alien, Levanter, starlost too
I hope you like it with my recommendation 💗💗
Loved the video! Would really recommend you to hear/see 'Side Effects'. It was a song panned by many as it's not a conventional K-pop song but I think it's just beautiful and literally evokes feelings of panic and high-octane energy. It talks about side effects of fame and listening to others opinions and how it's changing them as people...
I really love that you love seungmin alot❤🤭😉🤧as a seungmin biased person I feel you🙈he's so cute pretty and hot at the same time I'm losing my consciousness when watching him😝❤anyway thanks for your lovely reaction💜💜💜💜💜
I Love stray kids
Me too! 💙💙
If you want to learn more about the boys I recommend reacting to “an introduction to stray kids 2020 edition” I know it’s 2020 but I feel like this one is the best laid out.
I cry with this song most of the time at night when I'm so tired and fed up....
I would definetly recommend another day, it's one of my favourite songs when I'm sad
This song just always makes me cry.. I literally started crying again while watching this...
Love the Seungmin love lol he’s slowly becoming my bias
I really love so much this song, really hits me too hear it when I actually feel sad is like a hug. Iam studying graphic designer and as a homework i have to graphic a song and choose this one cause is really powerfull for me, but i didnt have clear where to start so your video helps me, thank you! Please keep reacting to more Stray Kids song cause they have a lot of this thematic.
Thank you so much. I love your reaction on Stray Kids’ songs. I can recommend you Chronosaurus, that’s an amazing song! 🤍
Honestly, being called a Beautiful Sinner....felt way too real to me rn...especially with what my reason for beng obsessed with this song are rn🤣
I really hope you can react to Scars by them. It's a Japanese song by them and I suggest the first take video of scars. In First take, they did it live and all in one take and the video too have lyrics (the MV for Scars doesn't have lyrics). Apart from Scars, I hope you can check out Grow up MV and Voices too. Those songs were a little bit older because it was back in their debut days. Skz discography mostly touch the topic about mental health and they are 100% self produced (from the lyrics of the songs to the beats, they made everything because they have producers who are the members in the group).
The song ‘Slump’ written by Han Jisung always hits me lyrics wise, simple but painful. He wrote it when he was in a dark time. There is a music video and a First Take, but it’s the Japanese version which is good, but the English translation of the Japanese lyrics aren’t as good as the English lyrics from the English version. There are obviously lyric videos and someone put the English version and lyrics together with the video of the First Take. The song itself was used for the ending credits of an anime.
Yes. It’s hard to talk about it, so Stray Kids helps. Do Scars next.
I also liked the song’s beats since the first time I’ve heard it but when I finally read the lyrics - it got to me. I literally saw myself in the lyrics and it broke me down, sobbing. As this is the pattern that I have been following for almost all of my years, especially when having nervous/mental breakdowns, I always go into my room and silently cry in their so no of my family members would notice it as I don’t want to disturb them with what I am going through, no matter what it is. But with Stray Kids and Silent Cry, what I’ve noticed, is that once after having a hard day at work and holding a lot of inside of myself as I stepped out of the bus on my way home, listening to music, Silent Cry came in and I immediately broke down into tears, letting myself to let go. Bc with Stray Kids it literally feels like I can open up to them, even through their songs like this.
Their songs are so relatable and this is what I find so incredible about them and as one of the things that hooks you in. Also the songs that I have been relating to a lot, especially last spring when going through my own burnouts and having constant anxiety at the time and not knowing what to do next - "Another Day" and "Slump" really helped to keep holding on to smth, despite all the thoughts I’ve had. The lyrics both of those really described me at the time and cried so much to them even more bc of it, like I am going through the same things that are being literally sung in there. I’m in a much better place now, still a long way to go to deal with anxiety, but still.
So check out “Slump" (there is three versions - Korean, Japanese and English) and “Another Day", think you’d like to analyze them.
Thank you for your breakdown of the song, it was really interesting to listen what you can say about it~
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m a new STAY and I didn’t realize these lyrics were so meaningful.
