I feel that every day. This is the first time I've heard this song....in fact, I have no clue who [or what] NF is AND I don't care for rap music. But THIS. THIS is REAL. THIS is how millions of people feel every minute of every day. I "get" it. By my age people are supposed to have it all figured out, but LIFE isn't the First Class I've flunked in my "life"...if you can even call it that....
He was abused... He was hurt. He’s hurting. He is traumatized. He writes as an outlet. He lost his mom, and is guilty because he never called her.. yet, he keeps going, and he’s a great person. We all need to realize that.
@Lillian Isbell I feel the exact same way I wanna help my peers and people in the future with issues like these and the trama but how can I help if I truly don’t understand how it feels and the aftermath
The part where he says "fear came to my house years ago" and ends with "is that me or the fear talking, I don't know anymore" always gives me chills because I relate to that so much. I suffered from panic attacks a while ago and that was something I was fighting hard. That was literally a fight against fear and it changed me. I can't do things I used to do out of fear for a panic attack. I'm doing much better and I haven't had an attack in atleast a year now. I'm still building myself back up, slowly trying to do the things I've been too scared to do so man, that whole part of the song is just insanely powerful to me. NF is something else man.
I can't say I get it man but I do understand, my Stepdad was physically and mentally abusive...even to this day anytime I hear a man start yelling I freeze and wonder if I'll need to dodge a blow.....it's tough man but we'll make it through this just keep going never give up.....you're not alone some of us are in this struggle with you. Be safe, never stop, and live the best life you can don't be afraid to let someone in friend or more
@@stealthsword436 It's weird man, I actually have a fine life. Great parents, friends and a job. Still looking for love I guess but that will come too.

I'm on the fucking edge of my life barely hanging on, I seem to have lost my way in life and have no clue how to find my way back to what I used to be. I hope everyday that whomever is in charge upstairs takes me. I hate my life. I have no outlet, no friendships to speak of, no hobbies. I just exist. every miserable day.
"Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in Maybe that's the problem, 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious, he never did He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in Now I'm in a position, it's either sit here, and let 'em win Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can 'Cause in order to do that, I'd have to open the doors Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore"... _this is just insanely meaningful lyrics_
There’s 2 ways to listen to this song 1. Understand 2. Enjoy Im 11 years old going on 12 and have never experienced this but have experienced my mom get beat in an abusive relationship for 4 years we are now doing good and are away from him 😊 but I have experience bad times like this and it hurts to look back and see someone else go through it 😔
I heard this song for the first time today. Every lyric makes me cry. How can he be saying things I think and feel every single day. I didn’t discover NF until today and although I wish I had his music years ago, I can see this is the time of my life these words- his songs are needed.
i don't have depression but i feel like the storm in me is made up of my anger pain and frustration. i never tell anyone how i feel and i keep everything locked up. if i let my storm out i'm afraid of what will happen
Its like I'm drowning and no matter how hard I try or what I do sll I can manage to do is slow the descent into darkness, I'm still drowning and theres no stopping it.
i am 60 and this boy is singing my life except not stepdad...real dad and uncles and whatever... noone really wants or cares to know. keep singing young blood cause you have no idea how far God is making your borders. thank you for being open and real
coming back to listen to this song after i've grown up and seeing all my progress from when i was listening to this on repeat in high school makes me feel so sad for my younger self but so proud of where I am today
I've never related to a song more in my life. As someone who was abused and has survived multiple suicide attempts, this song hits so close to home. To everyone who faces depression and thinks of suicide, let us battle it together. We will beat our demon Please, stay safe everyone
I thank you and your God for caring. While I may have my own beliefs and deities, I respect you and your higher lord. May you and those around you stay safe. May the gods protect you.
I hope you’re alright my friend. Never think of suicide again because things always change and you might cut away happiness. There are people that care about you and they will not want to see life where you don’t exist. I don’t know you but I care because you’re human like me and we need more love than hate.
That verse about not letting people in his safe room because he thinks people will leave him had me in tears. I have the same problem and it helps to know I'm not the only one.
It's just amazing that a rapper / hip hop artist can release such a remarkably powerful and most enjoyable songs...and not one curse word used. It caught me off guard when I noticed that. I can't get enough of this one, I'm really glad a friend sent me to this video.
This to increase is blind institutions what's reality with all these questions it feels like I missed my alarm and slept in slept in broken legs but I chase perfection my mind is home I'm trapped in and it's lonely inside this mansion
“I’m barricaded inside, so stop watching. I’m not coming to the door so stop knocking, stop knocking. I’m trapped here. God keep saying I’m not locked in, i chose this. I am lost in my own conscience” that’s me...
Me too, and its sucks cause I know in the end I'm going to suffer, but its like I physically can't let people in sometimes, no matter how hard I try, and tbh that makes me feel safe
*broken legs but I chase perfection* *these walls are my blank expression* *my mind is a home I’m trapped in* *and it’s lonely inside this mansion* Best lyrics ever
Our minds is like a mansion. So many rooms lead to so many thoughts in our head. Some of us lock the mansion so no one else knows what each room has inside. Damn I love this song so much, such true and real words
I really love your remarks on the song you really get it and I’m still listening to the song it is so deep it is just like you said with the rooms have been locked up into there is so much evil came inroom
Then we paint faces on our walls that arent what we feel, but what we want others to think of us as, untill it gets to the point where you even fooled yourself, and your lost in your mansion.
Yes...this song hit me particularly because I bought a 2 story house and there are lyrics that are figuratively and physically directly relevant. There was actually a point where I wrote on walls after painting over a ton of pen marker and crayons left from whatever family lived in the house previously. The second verse is a deadly accurate description of the thoughts and things I have been dealing with in this house...including my mother who has been in and out of the hospital for the last 3 years. Yeah, this some hits "home" for me.
NF and his music is the best therapist I could ever ask for, if only I actually talk to him in person he would probably be able to help me way more. Thank you so much Nate your helping me little by little get away from everything.
To whomever is reading through the comments, I want you to know that you’re not alone in your struggles. I’ve been through a lot. My stepdad would sexually abuse me and my adoptive parents had a hard time with me which made me feel unwanted and like I don’t matter. I faked happiness around them because it made their life easier as they didn’t have to worry about me. Now I am so beyond broken. I’m trying to get better, but it’s so hard now. It all started at age 6 and now I’m 22, almost 23. Hang in there and know it can get better.
It is hard i was abused and beaten when i was young by my mother and stepdad they are on drugs and it hurts to know my mother did that to me and my siblings i know what people are going through and i wake up and ask myself why.
Hap me to. I hate expressing my self, cause if people hear it, I think they wouldn't expect me to feel that way. Cause everyone knows everything about me... except my emotions. People don't expect me to be depressed, cause I act fine and they think I'm perfect.
Erik Munoz Lucky for you. I wish I was lucky like that... when I let one person into MY safe room, they stabbed me in the back. Then proceeded to steal my boyfriend. That's why no one else has been I my safe room ever since.
@@SunShine-zy8ju moral of the story is even after being cheated on, being told I was never good enough for my ex by her mother, stolen from, physically assaulted by an alcoholic who lived with me and battled my internal demons, I did what was neccessary: took the chance!
Erik Munoz I applaud you. Some people have the guts to take a chance. I don't. I use to be. I'm the type of person if you betray my trust, u will never gain it back. I'm to scared to take a chance anymore.
Until today.. I hated rap. Now, here I am laying in bed with my headphones listening to song after song from this guy. His lyrics speak to me more than any other artist I have found. I would be lying if I said I haven't been balling this whole time. 💔
If there is anything that you remember about your career. Please remember that you help a lot of people including myself. I've been dealing with a divorce and my son has found comfort in your songs. I've always been a fan of yours but recent months have made me find comfort myself because of how I can relate to your music. It's been tough and you have helped with coping with my burdens and for that I thank you.
I don’t want to be sad but yet I’m here. When I listen to NF’s songs I don’t feel better however I feel understood. I don’t feel alone. I feel like somebody cares.🥺
iv read some of these comments in this comment section and i want every single person that i love them no matter what we are all the same we are all equal and we all bleed the same love yall have a wonderful day
this song puts all my deepest feelings in one sing, other than the abuse part, the angry....the sadness...feeling trapped.... it puts all the feeling i have sometimes in one song... thank you for making me realize i am safe and not alone with this song
I really hope the next glass of milk you drink is slightly too cold, so it sort of hurts your throat, but you're too thirsty to stop drinking so your throat hurt's more and more as you drink more of it.
You stay up brotha never feel like death is the only way out. Always know that GOD will always be there near or far, whatever your relationship is he will always be the one thats there never give up
Don’t do it stay strong I can’t promise it will get better but I can tell you that your friends wouldn’t want you to do it think about them and the people that love you like me
"So this part of my house, No one's been in it for years. I built a safe room and i don't let no one in there. Cause if I do theres a chance they might disappear and not come back. And i admit I'm emotionally scared to let anyone inside. So i just leave my doors locked, You might get other doors to open,but this door not. Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me and I'll be the only that I can blame when you desert me"😪😪😪 Favorite line. The line i felt the most 😪🤧
Not many people know what im going through because im too scarred to tell anyone because i think they'll either not believe me or not care Through most of my life i have tried to hide the fact that im sad and just try to seem happy
This guy is so talented. His words are almost too real....you feel like you are right there with him. I agree with the other comments that His work is just as therapeutic for him as it is for us. I admire him so much.
Crying wont change the current state, thats up to your actions, i got nerve damage and emotional scarring from some family issues. Nothing will ever change by you allowing your eyes to flood out. Crying about things is a waste of energy, rather you put it towards fixing the issue at state, whatever that may be.
Danielle Bates same here his songs help me release when I'm so numb that I can't cry or feel anything it makes me snap back to reality and deal with the things I need to in order to move on. His song Let You Down gets me the most because its everything I feel and the ending is gonna be me the day my life takes a turn for the better and I move out of my parents house!
Listen to me, this goes to anyone and everyone seeing this comment, you can do ANYTHING you dream of doing and there is ALWAYS gonna be someone to bring you down but if listen then you won't make it in life. You NEED to be strong and it might be cliche but it's also true. Just be nice because there is no real point in putting someone down.
" you used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes, then you took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried. Congratulations. You'll always have a room in my mind." That hits me so damn hard. Like why would my own parents do that to me.

I barely ever reply but this has made my tearducts react and I swear I am grateful for coming and reading this stranger.
Thank you 😭 ill try
I'm on the fucking edge of my life barely hanging on, I seem to have lost my way in life and have no clue how to find my way back to what I used to be. I hope everyday that whomever is in charge upstairs takes me. I hate my life. I have no outlet, no friendships to speak of, no hobbies. I just exist. every miserable day.
"Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in
Maybe that's the problem, 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious, he never did
He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in
Now I'm in a position, it's either sit here, and let 'em win
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
'Cause in order to do that, I'd have to open the doors
Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore"...
_this is just insanely meaningful lyrics_
Insanely genius and beautiful truth 🔥🗝🖤
I have no words but I feel exactly the same
Agree soooo muuuuuch🖤
It’s all meaningful ❤️
BNB. P
"I thought it would be safer in here but it's not, I'm not the only thing living in here" I felt that shit in my soul...🔥🔥
I also felt that his lyrics are so meaningful
profanity
It's not shit
There’s 2 ways to listen to this song
1. Understand
2. Enjoy
Im 11 years old going on 12 and have never experienced this but have experienced my mom get beat in an abusive relationship for 4 years we are now doing good and are away from him 😊 but I have experience bad times like this and it hurts to look back and see someone else go through it 😔
I heard this song for the first time today. Every lyric makes me cry. How can he be saying things I think and feel every single day. I didn’t discover NF until today and although I wish I had his music years ago, I can see this is the time of my life these words- his songs are needed.
Everyone going through depression understands what being trapped means
For sure I never talk to anyone about it so I let NF speak how I feel
i don't have depression but i feel like the storm in me is made up of my anger pain and frustration. i never tell anyone how i feel and i keep everything locked up. if i let my storm out i'm afraid of what will happen
Indira do boxing it helps with anger, I've been through a lot but you no it ain't stopping me become a boxer
@@jaimemason3704 maybe that'll work if I had boxing gloves and a punching bag
Its like I'm drowning and no matter how hard I try or what I do sll I can manage to do is slow the descent into darkness, I'm still drowning and theres no stopping it.
Each line gives me another wave of goosebumps, it’s so crazy how relatable this song its almost scary
Camden Dornewass I think it's qwitw good
i am 60 and this boy is singing my life except not stepdad...real dad and uncles and whatever... noone really wants or cares to know. keep singing young blood cause you have no idea how far God is making your borders. thank you for being open and real
coming back to listen to this song after i've grown up and seeing all my progress from when i was listening to this on repeat in high school makes me feel so sad for my younger self but so proud of where I am today
"I write when I'm in a bad place and need a release." Yes boy, yes. ♡ It's a healthy outlet for me.
"Broken Legs But I chase Perfection"
That hit hard because I always have presure on me to do things good.
Same...
Me too...
Every word in the chorus, man... it hits
I know how you feel it fucking sucks

I've never related to a song more in my life. As someone who was abused and has survived multiple suicide attempts, this song hits so close to home. To everyone who faces depression and thinks of suicide, let us battle it together. We will beat our demon
Please, stay safe everyone
That was very sweet.
I thank you and your God for caring. While I may have my own beliefs and deities, I respect you and your higher lord. May you and those around you stay safe. May the gods protect you.
do you know rgn d3vil on xbox/discord
@@jackkerr5927 no, I do not. Sorry
I hope you’re alright my friend. Never think of suicide again because things always change and you might cut away happiness. There are people that care about you and they will not want to see life where you don’t exist. I don’t know you but I care because you’re human like me and we need more love than hate.
That verse about not letting people in his safe room because he thinks people will leave him had me in tears. I have the same problem and it helps to know I'm not the only one.
It's just amazing that a rapper / hip hop artist can release such a remarkably powerful and most enjoyable songs...and not one curse word used. It caught me off guard when I noticed that. I can't get enough of this one, I'm really glad a friend sent me to this video.
My favourite part was................
The whole song
Raamis Salman , same💜
Raamis Salman, You are damn right

This to increase is blind institutions what's reality with all these questions it feels like I missed my alarm and slept in slept in broken legs but I chase perfection my mind is home I'm trapped in and it's lonely inside this mansion

“I’m barricaded inside, so stop watching. I’m not coming to the door so stop knocking, stop knocking. I’m trapped here. God keep saying I’m not locked in, i chose this. I am lost in my own conscience” that’s me...
Same
Me too!
And me...
Me too, and its sucks cause I know in the end I'm going to suffer, but its like I physically can't let people in sometimes, no matter how hard I try, and tbh that makes me feel safe
That line hit for me
“So now this memory for some reason just won’t come down”
Damn that hit deep
Finally someone who puts into words what the broken people fail to say.
And the saddest part of it all is we all hid behind our baggy clothes and fake smiles. 🥀🥀🥀
I don't hide
exactly
Yes. I...I still do that
RXSES INC. the real saddest part is who still wears baggy clothes in 2019🤔

*HIGHLY AGREEING HERE ÒWÓ*
Anyone here after watching HOPE? Total full circle moment! 🥹
Still, to this day, the first minute of the song sends shivers through my body. The buildup just makes it that much more emotional.
Anyone else just play NF in the background all day everyday or is it just me?
John Kus i do too
John Kus i would literally wear headphones all day
OMG if i had a phone i would listian to nf alllllll day in my room
John Kus i love NF so much
E
Why do I relate to all his lyrics...
RapidFoxx 01 same I can relate to everything
My dad beats me and my siblings with a belt to “discipline” us but he doesn’t realize how many bruises he gave me.Hes going to hell.I just know it
me too...
SAME
RapidFoxx 01 this is weirdly correlated with all my anxious thoughts
Why is all of his songs so relatable? The part that got me was "And I admit I am emotionally scared to let anyone inside"
This song is listening to myself, I love how he used a mansion to describe mental issues and life pains.
Our minds is like a mansion. So many rooms lead to so many thoughts in our head. Some of us lock the mansion so no one else knows what each room has inside. Damn I love this song so much, such true and real words
Your so right i couldnt say it better myself
I really love your remarks on the song you really get it and I’m still listening to the song it is so deep it is just like you said with the rooms have been locked up into there is so much evil came inroom
Then we paint faces on our walls that arent what we feel, but what we want others to think of us as, untill it gets to the point where you even fooled yourself, and your lost in your mansion.
Oof
So it was only a figurative mansion?
That's true
Did anyone else actually feel that feeling in every word?
Tyler Cricchi meeee.🙋
Yes...this song hit me particularly because I bought a 2 story house and there are lyrics that are figuratively and physically directly relevant. There was actually a point where I wrote on walls after painting over a ton of pen marker and crayons left from whatever family lived in the house previously. The second verse is a deadly accurate description of the thoughts and things I have been dealing with in this house...including my mother who has been in and out of the hospital for the last 3 years. Yeah, this some hits "home" for me.
Oath powerfull shit right here 👍👍
Tyler Cricchi yeap💯
I did too
Anyone still wake up look in the mirror and put on their happy face every morning
So Gifted and open to everyone he doesn’t have to be this open but he is he speaks smartly smarter than I’ll ever be
I think it's a release for him like we're all the ones listening to his story and that's all he's ever wanted I bet.... someone to listen
There is 2 ways to listen to this song
1: Enjoying the song
2:Understanding the story within the song
Skyler _playz when you’re happy you enjoy the song, when you are sad you understand the song
thanks skyler that was really deep man
Yeah
Both
Im number 2
I'm crying nf is real and his music is real I understand everything he feels and his music helps me alot
Jesus is real too ❤️

NF and his music is the best therapist I could ever ask for, if only I actually talk to him in person he would probably be able to help me way more. Thank you so much Nate your helping me little by little get away from everything.
To whomever is reading through the comments, I want you to know that you’re not alone in your struggles. I’ve been through a lot. My stepdad would sexually abuse me and my adoptive parents had a hard time with me which made me feel unwanted and like I don’t matter. I faked happiness around them because it made their life easier as they didn’t have to worry about me. Now I am so beyond broken. I’m trying to get better, but it’s so hard now. It all started at age 6 and now I’m 22, almost 23. Hang in there and know it can get better.
It is hard i was abused and beaten when i was young by my mother and stepdad they are on drugs and it hurts to know my mother did that to me and my siblings i know what people are going through and i wake up and ask myself why.
"i built a safe room, and i let no one in there, cause if i do i'm afraid they'd disappear"
Atleast im not the only one who understands.
Hap me to. I hate expressing my self, cause if people hear it, I think they wouldn't expect me to feel that way. Cause everyone knows everything about me... except my emotions. People don't expect me to be depressed, cause I act fine and they think I'm perfect.
I let a woman into my safe room even though I knew she was going to disappear. 3 years later, we are engaged and have a daughter on the way.
Erik Munoz Lucky for you. I wish I was lucky like that... when I let one person into MY safe room, they stabbed me in the back. Then proceeded to steal my boyfriend. That's why no one else has been I my safe room ever since.
@@SunShine-zy8ju moral of the story is even after being cheated on, being told I was never good enough for my ex by her mother, stolen from, physically assaulted by an alcoholic who lived with me and battled my internal demons, I did what was neccessary: took the chance!
Erik Munoz I applaud you. Some people have the guts to take a chance. I don't. I use to be. I'm the type of person if you betray my trust, u will never gain it back. I'm to scared to take a chance anymore.
Until today.. I hated rap. Now, here I am laying in bed with my headphones listening to song after song from this guy. His lyrics speak to me more than any other artist I have found. I would be lying if I said I haven't been balling this whole time. 💔
Bitch this anit rap dumb ass
Saleem Cash stop the hate bro its not needed or liked
@@saleemcash1372 please do tell me what it's classified as then? No need to act immature.
@@saleemcash1372 I'm not anyone's "hoe" 🙄
@@BrittneyFife this is rap👍 just to answer your question
If there is anything that you remember about your career. Please remember that you help a lot of people including myself. I've been dealing with a divorce and my son has found comfort in your songs. I've always been a fan of yours but recent months have made me find comfort myself because of how I can relate to your music. It's been tough and you have helped with coping with my burdens and for that I thank you.
I don't like rap but I LOVE nf music. He puts a message in his music that I can relate to I love his music 💖
Its almost not rap. More of a ballad tbh.
then you'd also like juice wrld
I don’t want to be sad but yet I’m here. When I listen to NF’s songs I don’t feel better however I feel understood. I don’t feel alone. I feel like somebody cares.🥺
Agreed
Facts
I care💗
Deep down, someone always cares!
Me too😢
iv read some of these comments in this comment section and i want every single person that i love them no matter what we are all the same we are all equal and we all bleed the same love yall have a wonderful day
Yes we are, what shit are you on?
I mean there are shitty people but in general everyone basically gets treated the same.
Bleed the same is a Mandisa song- and i agree
" I regret watching these trust issues eat me alive..."
That hit home hard
this song puts all my deepest feelings in one sing, other than the abuse part, the angry....the sadness...feeling trapped.... it puts all the feeling i have sometimes in one song...
thank you for making me realize i am safe and not alone with this song
Anyone still listening to this in 2020
PS:Still the best song in the world
Lol.. yes. I Only recently found it. I left music years ago coz almost all 2000-2020 is absolute crap
Me lol
I really hope the next glass of milk you drink is slightly too cold, so it sort of hurts your throat, but you're too thirsty to stop drinking so your throat hurt's more and more as you drink more of it.
@@rushshort6760 Yes
@@kingkensei1292 you're welcome
I’ve had 4 of my friends commit suicide, the depression is killing me, this stuff is the only thing stopping me from ending it
Theyre watching over you, you just have friends on the other side now
Don’t do it, please.
You stay up brotha never feel like death is the only way out. Always know that GOD will always be there near or far, whatever your relationship is he will always be the one thats there never give up
All I can do is feel the empty alone and the war with in my thoughts
Don’t do it stay strong I can’t promise it will get better but I can tell you that your friends wouldn’t want you to do it think about them and the people that love you like me
This is real on a whole other level.
But facing our inner demons is what unlocks the door to healing.
Be well everyone.
"broken legs but I chase perfection" "what's reality with all these questions?"
Dang 😿🤜🏼
Ayy who’s listening to this piece of perfection in 2018💯🤙
meeeeeeeeeeee
It's not that old so....
Always
Canukreid5 5 me bruh!
Meee
Who still watching this masterpiece in 2018?
Luis Taboada idk about watching, but I'm listening to it lol it needs a music video.
ME! This song is one of the best!
“Masterpiece” lol nah.
Mee
Everone hopefully
"broken legs but I chase perfection", that hit hard for me
Ive known this song since 2018, listened to it a thousand times. But what's crazy, is that every year I come back, relating more and more to it.
NF
Real music
Till the day
we
die
HELL YEA
True
PSA: No one cares what year you're listening to this in. Just keep listening.
Finally someome with some damn sense
November 2019 and I heard this song like 4 or 5 years and I didn't know who it was but I remember these lyrics like it was yesterday..
y
@A Non December
Right?!
"So this part of my house,
No one's been in it for years.
I built a safe room and i don't let no one in there.
Cause if I do theres a chance they might disappear and not come back.
And i admit I'm emotionally scared to let anyone inside.
So i just leave my doors locked,
You might get other doors to open,but this door not.
Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me and I'll be the only that I can blame when you desert me"😪😪😪
Favorite line. The line i felt the most 😪🤧
Who’s here after watching the master piece HOPE. ❤
Me. So good
“Physically abused, now that’s a room I don’t wanna be in”
Dang, that hit home. Especially for me...
Nate... you’re the best
“and i admit, i’m emotionally scared to let anyone inside”
I felt that. Every time i open up they can’t handle me.
Not many people know what im going through because im too scarred to tell anyone because i think they'll either not believe me or not care
Through most of my life i have tried to hide the fact that im sad and just try to seem happy
Willy25 Bosss relatable
As a victim of abuse this song speaks to me
Thank you for making this. It feels like real music, not fake like some people.
This guy is so talented. His words are almost too real....you feel like you are right there with him. I agree with the other comments that His work is just as therapeutic for him as it is for us. I admire him so much.
He writes music to help his viewers. Look at Therapy Session for example.
This helps me cry when I feel numb
Thanks Nate
I am numb but no matter what I do I cant cry I hate it I just wanna cry glad u can at least do that #realmusicNF
Theressa Fountain I found that crying doesnt help anyways.
Crying wont change the current state, thats up to your actions, i got nerve damage and emotional scarring from some family issues. Nothing will ever change by you allowing your eyes to flood out. Crying about things is a waste of energy, rather you put it towards fixing the issue at state, whatever that may be.
Danielle Bates same
Danielle Bates same here his songs help me release when I'm so numb that I can't cry or feel anything it makes me snap back to reality and deal with the things I need to in order to move on. His song Let You Down gets me the most because its everything I feel and the ending is gonna be me the day my life takes a turn for the better and I move out of my parents house!
"Physically Abused, that a room i don't want to be in"
that hit hard since i am also Abused
I am so sorry. Let me know if you need any help I can give from a distance.
This is the most depressing song ever, but I keep going back to it
*See my problem is I don't fix things I just try to repaint.*
Repent
I see my people
Panic! at the twenty øne brides i just had an ad of a elephant painting lmfao sorry

This speaks of real life.
Of real scenarios.
Of real thoughts.
This is real music.
So good it keeps up with NFs recent songs
Listen to me, this goes to anyone and everyone seeing this comment, you can do ANYTHING you dream of doing and there is ALWAYS gonna be someone to bring you down but if listen then you won't make it in life. You NEED to be strong and it might be cliche but it's also true. Just be nice because there is no real point in putting someone down.
'My mind is a home I'm trapped in.. And its lonely inside this mansion'
Can relate to this whole song immensely. Just wow!
Chelsie 92 u have a mansion?
Ikr
" you used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes, then you took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried. Congratulations. You'll always have a room in my mind." That hits me so damn hard. Like why would my own parents do that to me.
A girl it was his moms new boyfriend
@@paganmin7489 they said why would their parents do that to them, they are not talking about nf
Saaame! 😭😭😭
This song says things I can't put to words. Thank you.
This is my favorite song cause it explains my feelings perfectly,like most of his music
