@@EleanorDowdall-n8s I mean, all men are under suspicion because of a few assholes. As someone who no woman has anything to fear, that hits home for me.
I don't leave comments often, but I really love this song, but it makes me sad. I'm a man, and when I first heard the bear or the man question I laughed and wondered why such an obvious question would even be asked. Then I heard so many women saying bear that it was baffling. It's frustrating to think that a woman would fear me more than a literal super predator that would only see an easy meal, but history shows the awful picture of my gender. In conclusion, I can understand why a guaranteed end by a beast is better than a slight chance of running into a monster. "There may not be many, but enough to doubt them all."
I think I speak for many women when I say that your willingness to understand our side rather than immediately pointing fingers and taking offense, means a lot. We all understand that there are good men out there. But what could happen to us if the man in front of us *isn't* good, is such a horrific possibility that we have to be cautious of every man because of the actions of the evil few.
Thank you for your perspective. Yes the sad reality that death is the worst a bear or wolf could do... centuries of oppression against women has proven this and even ongoing oppression. We don't want to think this way. We have to. 😔
I’ve read all your comments and I just want to say: I’m so grateful for all the support you guys have been showing my song. It means so much to me that you can connect with it, feel the rage and sorrow, the frustration and the pain. I hope this song can continue to be your pillar of strength when it feels like the world is crumbling around you 🖤
It’s difference flavor of feminine (well feminine presenting) rage. This one is defensive, the building of a shield on personal level so we can fight to protect us all ^ this is is just my interpretation. Er how it makes me feel. Edit: and remember, not everyone with a uterus is a women and not all women have a uterus. ❤️
@opalishmoth8591 dang. No uterus here.. and they still didn't care, and I was wearing shorts and a tee shirt.. Still feeling the rage and sorrow being a survivor without that part of me.
@@TinkHerBellI am so sorry if I came across as invalidating your experience. I was thinking of cases like myself (have a uterus but am not a woman) but you are absolutely correct. I was trying to find a gender neutral way to say “women targeted”. I guess “targeting of XX-phenotype presenting folks” is what I was looking for? For those who don’t know, phenotype refers to physical trait that is expressed (observed) like eye color, nose shape, ect. Genetics is COMPLICATED (I just have a base level understanding) so different genotypes (genetic code variant of a given gene) can produce the same phenotype. And just because you have a gene doesn’t necessarily mean it’s expressed physically. Environmental factors play a role. So the gender neutral way to say “feminine” is “XX-presenting” XX refers to the 23rd pair of chromosomes, and if you have XX you will be born with a uterus. (XY would mean born with a penis.) ALSO, there is intersex which mean you got some combination of XX and XY. So when I say “XX-presenting” I’m referring to body portions (waist narrower than hips and bust) boobs, higher pitched voice and NOT what’s in someone’s pants. . The external traits that are expressed in association with estrogen. Plus you can be genetically XX and identify as a women but lack a uterus because of a health reasons. Idk I guess “feminine presenting” is simpler
@opalishmoth8591 you're a true saint. Much love and support. You're reply was a level of kindness and respect I never expected. You're a very compassionate person and I appreciate you for being you. Keep being strong xo
The femininity, delicate and sweet, and the rage, fierce, strength. Showing we're both, we're human beings, we can't be reduced to fit into a box like dolls
I love the fact the you mentioned Marylin Monroe, because is really sad ...she was also a victim of SA and abuse,and the fact thet many men were opsses with her ,it so sad...is really scary what happened to her after her death,she didn't deserve it.
When I was a little girl, before I understood all the things women faced, I had always said to my friends and family that I belonged with nature. I have always said that I would rather be killed by animals than humans, because "the animal is just trying to survive". As I got older, I understood better. I told all my friends and family that I wanted to be buried with a tree or some seeds. These songs make me feel validated, this and Last Woman On Earth, because, even as a little girl, I chose the bears and wolves. And I still, to this day, choose the bears and wolves.
She repeated that line so many times, it made me wonder what on eath she was wearing that apparently constantly evoked that remark. Probably not the intention...
I had to pull over when I heard that verse because of my lived experience. There is a flurry of emotions with this song, but I love feeling so validated too
As an Indigenous person, this is still true,and every Indigenous mothers fear.They didn't repeal the Acts of Indian Agression until the 80 and 90s.We are still fighting. Still not safe.All women, no matter what culture.😢
@Human-hx8yp You know the story of Pocahontas is a complete lie.Her real name was Mataoka.She was between 9 and 12 when John Smith, who was known to lie and cheat came here.She was married and had a daughter.She was taken as a hostage during a period of unrest between her people and the whites.Her husband was never seen again and she lost the rights to her daughter and eventually her son by the forced marriage and conversion with John Rolfe.She was paraded in London and became sick or was poisoned on her way home.Her and her son were buried worlds away. Separated from all who she loved. Even in death.
I love that the different voices have a feeling of an adult helping a child through their trauma; i don't know if that was intentionally done, but its great and oh so sad

If they give you a bowl of candy and tell you that only four are poisoned, you don't eat the damn bowl. Why don't people get that? Another thing that really bugs me is when they segue that with "what about male victims then?" You know who I've never heard say that "but not ALL men" (and variations) bullsh!t? Male victims. They also pick the bear and they know why women do.
@@RavenSutcliffeSo what you’re saying is that based on someone’s gender, they automatically are someone you should fear or belittle? Your comment is outrageously sexist, yet you use “history” to cover up your sad reasons to judge a man.
This is so real. Because of course not every man is a monster, but how can anyone possibly know how vile someone is before it's too late? Therefore there is always doubt because no one can really see a person's true intentions unless they potentially slip up... But some men don't get it because they don't have to live through that need to be hyper aware 😭
Lilith, you've done something powerful here. As a person (female) who lives around and sometimes in Wilderness, multiple kinds of bears and a few different kinds of wolves..you've beautifully put what I always struggled to say when people called me brave or crazy for hiking alone, cross country road trips alone, walk solo at night without lights, etc. A charging bear is a little scare. Rush of life. Gratefulness for a peaceable encounter if only a charge occurs. Makes me feel alive and on top of the world. I am one, with all that is living, including the dance of predator territory and prey. Working with Wolf hybrids, had my entire arm in his jaws, and we're having a who's going to back down contest of wills.. - whew that was close! Might be a little shaky for a bit. Being followed and almost touched by a random human man in the last month..when I stood my ground to see if he was unaware.. or actually creeping; Yep. He was creeping (been a few years since I had some this bold in a simple bookstore) and I immediately wandered like through a maze until he bugged off. Yes, I could have said something. But that would just add to my experience that was already harder to deal with than any of the bears, large cats, wolves, moose or anything I'm might be afraid of that's after me. I'm a small, slight person. I DO pick the Wolves and Bears; and will continue to do so over Men for predictable safety..everytime. Every. Time. Brilliant work and Art.
“It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all” EXACTLY. “Not all men” doesn’t really mean much when it _could_ be _any_ man. Better to always keep our guard up, just in case. Hauntingly beautiful song, Lilith! Stay safe out there y’all.

This gives me Artemis vibes because Bears and Wolves are her sacred animals and she’s a virgin, girlboss, indipendent queen, feminist goddess and also she is the embodiment of female rage
Preying on minors is the most disgusting thing a person can do. I'm so sorry you went through that awful experience. No one should have to go through that..
My apologies that you had to contend with such suffering, it is truly heartbreaking knowing there are people out there who would even consider doing such things against others. May the deities be with you, and I wish you the best of luck in this cruel world we all live in. Stay frosty.
Unfortunately it's a stark reality for many people. The first time, I was six, it happened in my own bedroom, while my siblings played outside. I had to sleep every night in that room, mere feet away from where it happened. And even worse, the one that did it was dating my older sister and convinced my parents I was lying. It didn't stop until I was twelve and their family moved away.
I am sitting here crying because I feel this pain so badly for all the things that has been done to women around the world. Things that are happening right now and things that have happened. My female rage has never been this close to the surface and I am fucking SICK of how we are treated. Thank you for making this song. I feel this virbating through my core.
“you don’t know fear till it’s calling from behind” hits different. You think you have faced challenges, but when you see your life about to break apart you finally realize that this is TRULY FEAR 💔
I wrote a small poem with so many similar lines to this song. One line is literally “I’d always choose the bear, he’d never blame my clothes” This song hits home more than I wish it did. It’s absolutely beautiful, thank you for making this
What an absolutely defiant message to send to the people who feel they have dominance and control over women's bodies and minds because they feel that they have been empowered by recent incredible events in the states. x
You could have been walking stark naked and it still wouldn't have been your fault. I hope you heal and I hope you find better people to surround yourself with
It’s absolutely normal, especially if you can relate to the song yourself. It’s a heart wrenching topic and traumatic to experience. And the song itself was written, sung, and composed so beautifully. I’d be surprised if most people weren’t feeling all that while listening to this song
I just listened to the song and it was amazing, just beautiful and meaningful to us women, it literally represents the anger and strength of us, Your voice and the way you portray the story is so beautiful. ❤😢 I literally cried
Hooooh damn I've got chills! I love the way you use your fairy tale light voice for most of the verses but then you drop to a powerful deep tone you rarely use in your music, it makes my skin shiver in the best way! You've put out another banger, I absolutely love it!!
"And when I tell the beast all the things you would do, they will cry as well AND FEAR YOU TOO" A bear? Worse thing they'll do is kill you, a man...? What does a man _can't_ do?
Well, women can and will do all bad things that a man can do. And, by the way, the worse things that a bear can do is maul someone, but most men don't do that, all bears do.
I have two comments: While it is true and important to recognize that women can be just as bad as men and that victims of all genders have troubles getting people to believe them, it is also important to recognize that the vast majority of assaults were done by men unto women, and that way too many times, these women are forced to take at least part of the blame when there is zero fault on their side. And secondly, nowhere near every bear would maul you. Most polar bears, some of other species and any bears with pups might do that, but otherwise they usually don’t see humans as prey and will leave them alone if the human does the same.
@@featherofajay4667According to statistics that only focused on male on female abuse. The number of men assaulted by women is much higher than you think.
@@redmist2053a man could hold me captive for the rest of my life, starving me slowly, no outside contact but him, force himself on me, force me to bear his children.. I could keep going on and on.... BEAR ALWAYS let's that mf maul me to death and eat me, it's the worst fate I could have with the bear!!!!! Let me add, the bear won't kidnap me or try to sell me either.
"It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all." This line means so much to me. I was 14 when I was raped. 4 years later and I'm still scared of all men I don't know. I know not all men are out there to hurt me but I'm still worried it will happen again.
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for almost a week and a half. This song is something that should be said but wasn’t said enough thank you for putting into song what most struggle to put into words. Give a little courage to those without the courage to speak up for themselves.
Ally here. At the point where the world disgusts me. I will do everything I can to help when I can. Stand behind me and I will be a shield. If necessary I will also be a sword.
Thank you for understanding. I was 10 when I was SAed by my grandfather for the first time. It's been almost 5 years since the beggining of that sh*t and it still hurts, he was the only one who I thought that care ...
They make you feel like that, but it's not true. He didn't care. And no matter what, you didn't deserve it. I hope he never gets to lay a hand on you or anyone else again. I'm so sorry
Oh honey. I understand. Its so hard to recover. I was six. He was my older sisters boyfriend, the son of my mom's best friend, and someone I saw as family. It was my birthday and we were having a party. I had gone to my room to put away presents and change out of my party clothes and into my bathing suit to go swimming. I didn't even manage to put my toys away. He did as he pleased and By the time I was able to get up to find my mother he was outside, acting normal with everyone else. My mother called me a liar when I told her what happened. I didn't even know the word rape then. My mother chose to believe a boy twice my age, who had scratches on his face and arms, rather than her six year old daughter who still had on torn clothes and blood on her legs. Weekends were hell for me after that. I never knew if he would come over, if he would manage to get me alone. In third grade I was accused of lying to my teacher when I explained a scene in a book I was reading that involved rape. She said I couldn't possibly understand. She had no idea I knew far more than she thought. It didn't end for good until I was twelve and his family moved to another state. I'm thirty now and still flinch when a man moves too fast or gets too close. It doesn't matter if it's my husband, my brother, or a friend, that instinctive fear is there. No one blames a person who was mauled by a dog as a child for being scared of dogs for the rest of their life, why do they have so much trouble understanding it in a different context?
Such a powerful song and so needed right now, the rage, the fight, the unity. The lyrics are all amazing but the lines that hit me hard were about that the beasts would cry too, I beleive they too know a monster when they see one. Thank you for this amazing song.
This is so beautiful, especially after elections. I remember crying in bed late at night and then wondering why nobody was worried. Thank you for making this.
Yes I think the election made a lot of us feel like we were losing our minds. But together, we know that our worries and our experiences matter and that we won't easily back down ❤
This song is so beautiful and powerful, but also sad. Ksiądz w mojej szkole powiedział, że gdyby kobiety nie ubierały by się wyzywająco, nie dochodziłoby do napaści. Więc dlaczego tak bardzo boje się, gdy widzę grupę mocno pijanych mężczyzn przede mną? Przecież nie jestem ubrana "wyzywająco". Znam wiele historii, w których kobiety były ubrane normalnie, a i tak zostały skrzywdzone. Wybrałabym niedźwiedzia, bo on nie chce mnie skrzywdzić tak jak człowiek. Niedźwiedź broni terytorium, swoich młodych, siebie. A człowiek... Robi to dla przyjemności. To mnie przeraża.
A lot of us had endured abuse... I hope someday, we'll live in a world we can be safe without fearing each time a man walks behind us. Or even at night
I dont often leave comments abt songs but IVE LITSEND TO LIKE 3 OF YOUR SONGS ON REAPEAT AND I WILL PROB NEVER STOP LIKE ... HOW DO YOU MAKE SUCH GOOD SONGS?!?!?
I love how u change the way u sang thru out the song! To me, the more high pitched voice shows innocence and purity (before one was r@ped) and the deeper voice is after a traumatic experience!
The depth of your lyrics is very powerful, Lilith! You go through the registers in your voice flawlessly in a way that underlines each word, well done!
I send my condolences and regards to those who have been mistreated, harmed, and used by the men who thinks it is appropriate to commit such devious crimes. Not all are the same, but there are enough of them to have everyone on guard. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. May the deities be with you all, and I wish you all the best of luck. Stay frosty.
I found this song on a short and instantly listened, being a teen that can relate breaks my mental health but this song makes me feel like I'm not alone and that there are people out there that feel my pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting but I realize that I'm not. Thank you so much for this song ❤❤❤❤ one message. You. Are. Not. Alone. ❤️

0:40 I hurts that we even have to feel this way (I was 13 when I was Sa and it hurt so bad that someone would DO THAT TO A KID)
Preying on minors is the most disgusting thing a person can do. I'm so sorry you went through that awful experience. No one should have to go through that..
@ thank you it means a lot
My apologies that you had to contend with such suffering, it is truly heartbreaking knowing there are people out there who would even consider doing such things against others. May the deities be with you, and I wish you the best of luck in this cruel world we all live in. Stay frosty.
@ thank you so much
Unfortunately it's a stark reality for many people. The first time, I was six, it happened in my own bedroom, while my siblings played outside. I had to sleep every night in that room, mere feet away from where it happened. And even worse, the one that did it was dating my older sister and convinced my parents I was lying. It didn't stop until I was twelve and their family moved away.
I am sitting here crying because I feel this pain so badly for all the things that has been done to women around the world. Things that are happening right now and things that have happened. My female rage has never been this close to the surface and I am fucking SICK of how we are treated. Thank you for making this song. I feel this virbating through my core.
Same, my friend, same ❤
“you don’t know fear till it’s calling from behind” hits different. You think you have faced challenges, but when you see your life about to break apart you finally realize that this is TRULY FEAR 💔
Was just listening to Lydia the Bard and Spotify sent me to your song. Immediately saved it and shared it around. Amazing song. Thank you for this.
"Don't Cry For Your Daughters Eve"?
Your voice is so beautiful. This song can understand women. It's full of pain, fear and power
Thank you! Also love your Jimin profile pic ❤
and you included a fundraiser !!! Lilith you are truly incredible . The world wouldn’t be as kind without you
I wrote a small poem with so many similar lines to this song. One line is literally “I’d always choose the bear, he’d never blame my clothes”
This song hits home more than I wish it did. It’s absolutely beautiful, thank you for making this
What an absolutely defiant message to send to the people who feel they have dominance and control over women's bodies and minds because they feel that they have been empowered by recent incredible events in the states. x
"No matter what they do they won't blame my clothes." That hit me so hard. That's what everyone always asked me.
You could have been walking stark naked and it still wouldn't have been your fault. I hope you heal and I hope you find better people to surround yourself with
Labour hit the sky.. and this pushed the rage in space...the way the voice changed in the chorus... gives me chills everytime.
The switch Is SO powerful
Fr tho
Is it normal for someone to feel the ache and cry listening to this song!?
It’s absolutely normal, especially if you can relate to the song yourself. It’s a heart wrenching topic and traumatic to experience. And the song itself was written, sung, and composed so beautifully. I’d be surprised if most people weren’t feeling all that while listening to this song
It's what it's like to be fully human.
In tears, the raw power in her voice, this song speaks to me so much
This song honestly ends the whole debate. The lyrics are so carefully put together and are so beautiful
Thank you
I just listened to the song and it was amazing, just beautiful and meaningful to us women, it literally represents the anger and strength of us, Your voice and the way you portray the story is so beautiful. ❤😢 I literally cried
Hooooh damn I've got chills! I love the way you use your fairy tale light voice for most of the verses but then you drop to a powerful deep tone you rarely use in your music, it makes my skin shiver in the best way!
You've put out another banger, I absolutely love it!!
Thank you! ❤ ❤
Instant download. Guy’s this is why they choose the bears.
"And when I tell the beast all the things you would do, they will cry as well AND FEAR YOU TOO"
A bear? Worse thing they'll do is kill you, a man...? What does a man _can't_ do?
Well, women can and will do all bad things that a man can do. And, by the way, the worse things that a bear can do is maul someone, but most men don't do that, all bears do.
I have two comments:
While it is true and important to recognize that women can be just as bad as men and that victims of all genders have troubles getting people to believe them, it is also important to recognize that the vast majority of assaults were done by men unto women, and that way too many times, these women are forced to take at least part of the blame when there is zero fault on their side.
And secondly, nowhere near every bear would maul you. Most polar bears, some of other species and any bears with pups might do that, but otherwise they usually don’t see humans as prey and will leave them alone if the human does the same.
@@featherofajay4667According to statistics that only focused on male on female abuse. The number of men assaulted by women is much higher than you think.
@@redmist2053 rather the enemy I’m familiar with than the one who’s unknown.
A wild animal is predictable, a human being is not.
@@redmist2053a man could hold me captive for the rest of my life, starving me slowly, no outside contact but him, force himself on me, force me to bear his children.. I could keep going on and on.... BEAR ALWAYS let's that mf maul me to death and eat me, it's the worst fate I could have with the bear!!!!! Let me add, the bear won't kidnap me or try to sell me either.
This song hits different. Thank you. Chills, crying in realization and empowerment all at the same time.
The way i got chills... from the realization... from every single word.
I don't know of i shud be rage or cry.
"It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all." This line means so much to me. I was 14 when I was raped. 4 years later and I'm still scared of all men I don't know. I know not all men are out there to hurt me but I'm still worried it will happen again.
So if a woman did the same to you, would you have the same reaction?
If a man did the same thing to you would you have the same reaction?@@Aaliyah_bigback
I never wrote a comment under the video, but I really fell in love with this real and beautiful song.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the song! ❤
the lyrics are good, music is catchy, everything is good
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for almost a week and a half. This song is something that should be said but wasn’t said enough thank you for putting into song what most struggle to put into words. Give a little courage to those without the courage to speak up for themselves.
Ally here. At the point where the world disgusts me. I will do everything I can to help when I can. Stand behind me and I will be a shield. If necessary I will also be a sword.
Those two last sentences are entering my vocabulary posthaste. Thank you for being like this
Man...this song slays so hard. So many goosebumps under the span of just 3 minutes.
Thank you for understanding. I was 10 when I was SAed by my grandfather for the first time. It's been almost 5 years since the beggining of that sh*t and it still hurts, he was the only one who I thought that care ...
They make you feel like that, but it's not true. He didn't care. And no matter what, you didn't deserve it. I hope he never gets to lay a hand on you or anyone else again. I'm so sorry
@RavenSutcliffe thank you for your concern about me. I am currently doing better. Sending love and hugs 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶
Oh honey. I understand. Its so hard to recover. I was six. He was my older sisters boyfriend, the son of my mom's best friend, and someone I saw as family. It was my birthday and we were having a party. I had gone to my room to put away presents and change out of my party clothes and into my bathing suit to go swimming. I didn't even manage to put my toys away. He did as he pleased and By the time I was able to get up to find my mother he was outside, acting normal with everyone else. My mother called me a liar when I told her what happened. I didn't even know the word rape then. My mother chose to believe a boy twice my age, who had scratches on his face and arms, rather than her six year old daughter who still had on torn clothes and blood on her legs. Weekends were hell for me after that. I never knew if he would come over, if he would manage to get me alone.
In third grade I was accused of lying to my teacher when I explained a scene in a book I was reading that involved rape. She said I couldn't possibly understand. She had no idea I knew far more than she thought. It didn't end for good until I was twelve and his family moved to another state. I'm thirty now and still flinch when a man moves too fast or gets too close. It doesn't matter if it's my husband, my brother, or a friend, that instinctive fear is there.
No one blames a person who was mauled by a dog as a child for being scared of dogs for the rest of their life, why do they have so much trouble understanding it in a different context?
@@evanalian poor you, that must be hard. But he will surely pay for this sh*t. Sending love and hugs 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶
Thank you so much for this
thank you for enjoying it
Remember girls, there was a reason why belle chose the beast instead of Gaston
The beast was also a man tho 😅
Such a powerful song and so needed right now, the rage, the fight, the unity. The lyrics are all amazing but the lines that hit me hard were about that the beasts would cry too, I beleive they too know a monster when they see one. Thank you for this amazing song.
The strength of the words but the control of the vocals, and the sheer anger and sorrow In the meanings, this needs to be broadcasted everywhere
This song deserve more views
Agreed
Then share it then. Send links to your friends and talk about it under comments of similar songs like labour by Paris Paloma
@@Spiceodog yeah I did.
@@saikarri4101 🥳
This song is such a vibe. The lyrics are so good and the change from a deeper angry voice to a soft one was just..perfect 😭🙏
HOW IS THIS NOT MORE POPULAR?? SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 👏👏
Because indie artists are under represented. Songs are listened to more because of who sang them then how good the music actually is unfortunately
My body my choice 🔥🔥🔥
This is so beautiful, especially after elections. I remember crying in bed late at night and then wondering why nobody was worried. Thank you for making this.
Yes I think the election made a lot of us feel like we were losing our minds. But together, we know that our worries and our experiences matter and that we won't easily back down ❤
Love this song, I cant stop listening to it on repeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤
I'm feeling this song under my skin 💔 so powerful and your voice is so emotionally
This song is so beautiful and powerful, but also sad.
Ksiądz w mojej szkole powiedział, że gdyby kobiety nie ubierały by się wyzywająco, nie dochodziłoby do napaści. Więc dlaczego tak bardzo boje się, gdy widzę grupę mocno pijanych mężczyzn przede mną? Przecież nie jestem ubrana "wyzywająco". Znam wiele historii, w których kobiety były ubrane normalnie, a i tak zostały skrzywdzone. Wybrałabym niedźwiedzia, bo on nie chce mnie skrzywdzić tak jak człowiek. Niedźwiedź broni terytorium, swoich młodych, siebie. A człowiek... Robi to dla przyjemności. To mnie przeraża.
I just love the switches between the different lines
I don’t often tell anybody about my SA experience, because I was too young to remember it.
*I was too young to remember it.*
This song hits me in the soul in a way that is indescribable.
I want to scream that chorus from the rooftops.
I'm in love with this song its criminally underrated frr gurl you're so brilliant like im in love
Thank you!! ❤
I'm a woman, and I will always choose a bear. Absolutely in love with this song.
This song give me a lot of strength to fight for right.❤❤
❤❤
I've been waiting for you to. release this! Thank you!!!
A lot of us had endured abuse... I hope someday, we'll live in a world we can be safe without fearing each time a man walks behind us. Or even at night
"It may not be many but enough to doubt them all" hits different 💔
I dont often leave comments abt songs but IVE LITSEND TO LIKE 3 OF YOUR SONGS ON REAPEAT AND I WILL PROB NEVER STOP LIKE ... HOW DO YOU MAKE SUCH GOOD SONGS?!?!?
I love how u change the way u sang thru out the song! To me, the more high pitched voice shows innocence and purity (before one was r@ped) and the deeper voice is after a traumatic experience!
The depth of your lyrics is very powerful, Lilith! You go through the registers in your voice flawlessly in a way that underlines each word, well done!
Thank you! ❤
I needed to cry so hard while hearing this the first time, so touching
I send my condolences and regards to those who have been mistreated, harmed, and used by the men who thinks it is appropriate to commit such devious crimes. Not all are the same, but there are enough of them to have everyone on guard. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. May the deities be with you all, and I wish you all the best of luck. Stay frosty.
I found this song on a short and instantly listened, being a teen that can relate breaks my mental health but this song makes me feel like I'm not alone and that there are people out there that feel my pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting but I realize that I'm not. Thank you so much for this song ❤❤❤❤ one message. You. Are. Not. Alone. ❤️
"because even when you're ash they will never let you go" i love this song. so. much.
