When I was in my darkest place, this is a song that I would play to my friends and family because it perfectly described how I was feeling. This song put my depression into words that others could understand.
At one point I didn’t know h what was happening or what was wrong with me. This song cracked me, and I realized this was what I was feeling. It helped me to eventually pull myself out of the pit.
I have made this comment so many times over the last five years. I’ll tell somebody I don’t even know what I am feeling right now and then I will listen to NF song and be like yes! That’s it.
The way you relate to NF is sometimes the way I relate to you. Thank you for keeping it genuine. And for bringing faith in self and/or God to it’s proper level of importance.
His willingness to be transparent and vulnerable is what gives him a unique authenticity. Especially considering he is typically focusing primarily on his own struggle w mental health and emotional trauma... in a genre that rewards and praises pretentiousness, narcissism, and materialism... this guy is being (as she stated) so direct and straight forward w his lyrics that millions of individuals feel he's writing their own thoughts and emotions.
The first time I heard this, I was bawling!!! For the first time in my life, I knew without a doubt that I was not alone in how I feel sometimes. Gonna watch now, had to grab my tissues!
I have never been through what he has. Yet I understand everything he is saying. Been through a lot of stuff in my life. His music has actually pulled me out of the depths. I'm back to where I need to be. Love this song.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and I still get the tears in my eyes. Thank you for doing this one. This is 1 of my top 3 NF songs. I appreciate you and your analysis 🖤💚
NF sometimes can just come off as Too Real Music. It's a gateway drug into opening up and finding new feelings for me too. Always hits right in the "feelios"! Another great reaction too. 🙂
NF being a gateway drug to want to stay far away from drugs and negative destructive behaviors FOR REAL. He raps about topics in like “WOAH DANG NF I DIDNT KNOW I RELATED TO THAT.”
The song immediately after this on the Mansion album is "I'll Keep On" which underscores the very point you make here. There's the reality of the struggle that we see in Paralyzed, and you can acknowledge that this struggle doesn't always end on bright note. It doesn't always come with answers. It doesn't mean hope doesn't exist or that we give up. Both realities can be true. Life is a journey fraught with difficult paths and seasons. The important thing is to be live in the reality of those challenges and to grow through them.
@RosalieReacts if you haven't listened to I'll Keep On, you really must...not necessarily as a reaction, just as salve for the soul. It's a beautiful Worship song that I often have on repeat. Love NF's music so much! Thanks for the real reactions to his real music!
Soo many of you in here are sharing a lot of your life situations with the rest of us. I hope you find yourselves and love yourselves as I appear to love you all in this moment. It breaks my heart to hear read all that I just did when going through the comments. So many of you have gone through things that make my problems in life seem soo small in comparison. I'm in no way comparing anyone's situations with the other, as everyone deals with situations differently and none of them are to be scoffed at. I wish you all happiness and love. Thanks to NF for helping these conversations come to light. And thanks for this channel. And thanks to all of you. Good luck with everything. Love
Gets me to cry everytime and just as REAL as it was when I listened to this album when it first came out. 💔 NF is a dude that knows how to heal ...just being real
I'm grateful i found NF back in 2021. Especially appreciated the end of this video. Agree so much about sitting in that emotion and allowing it to e just that, without looking for a solution since that can be isolating in itself. When you share such a vulnerable moment or emotion and then someone gives you an ABC of solution options which isn't usually needed in that moment. Also how relatable his lyrics are and how we can find our own truth in it.
Damn I truly appreciate and admire you. I am in a super dark spot in life and listening to you interpret and break down NF`s lyrics and the whole range of the music I probably said "Damn I wish I had a friend like her" 4 times. 😂. I will point out one thing about NF too is on top of his powerful music he has made me find amazing people like you and makes me stronger in my Faith..... A trees Branches can't reach heaven without its roots touching hell.
From combat veterans all the way to struggling parents, he somehow is able to accurately summarize the feeling of personal sacrifice. Art at its finest
I am at the opposite end of the spectrum from this song at the moment because we had to say goodbye to a fur member of the family yesterday, but still appreciate the meaning of this song from times past. Seeing you cry made me cry not only because the song pulled that emotion from you but because my heart is broken once again.
This was therapeutic from your perspective. Words have a strong impact when you listen and absorb. I was there yrs back and I'm in a better place now but not the same person I used to love being before then and I miss me.
@@rosalieelliottofficial I miss the purity and innocent mentality and inner strength and believed that my walls would protect me from negativity and pain. Now I feel week and vulnerable. Maybe I'm just harder on myself than I need to be.
@@AbbieCrescendo I understand that. It's a fine line in my opinion, to be both strong and vulnerable, wise without being bitter and pure without being naive. Lessons I am learning too. May I ask, what makes you feel weak? Is it triggered by external factors and comments or internal? I appreciate you sharing. and in case you are being to hard on yourself, remember healing takes both work and compassion.
Rosalie - Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to NF Paralyzed. I just lost my brother today and I am getting comfort from seeing others react to this song (for some reason). So, thank you.
That’s true. I don’t think anyone does and even if they did we will never know ever aspect and nuance to the heart and kind of another. But he def keeps it real :)
NF has pulled me through hell in my life and gives me the strength to carry on. I've gone from a handful of attempts on my life to finding the reason why I'm here and it's to help people who is in that same dark place but what he's done for me I cannot repay him. I'll probs never get the chance to say thank you to him.
This song… all NF. Man this song was probably the first NF song I cried to. A man trying to find his faith and true life in Christ knowing that he's the one who was faithless towards God and steps towards the death rattle of this world. (Matthew 16:26) Regardless of Christianity, EVERY person can relate to this song at some point in their life, that there is something more.
This song is one of my FAVORITES of Nate's. This song hits me soooo hard! I have had 4 major losses in my life in 2 1/2 years. My daughter, my favorite aunt, my grandma and now my mom 3 months ago. All unexpected deaths. My feelings and my heart are so numb. I am having emotional breakdowns weekly. NF's music and my faith in my Heavenly Father is what gets me through. Also, that is all NF singing. He layers his vocals. Unless he mentions a feature it is him doing the harmonies or pitching his voice somewhat. "How Could You Leave Us" will break you girl! It does me every time and I've heard that song probably 100 times at least. Much love✌️❣️
I am so very sorry for your loss!! :( My heart hurts with you. I wish I could give you a hug. As I look at your profile picture and see the username you chose, I think you must be an incredibly kind and strong woman and your name is fitting. Butterflies are quite the special creation, hidden away and growing slowly, breaking through into something beautiful to eventually fly high and light up the world around them with color. I believe that for you. That your story is not over. That there will be beauty for the ashes. That you will break through and fly again. Nothing will ever be the same. But all things must work for good, they just must! (Romans 8:28) That is a hope I cling too. I lost my first baby girl half way through the pregnancy back in 2011. She would have been 11 this year. That is nothing compared to your loss. I just share to express empathy and understanding for profound pain. No easy answers and no fix. I just pray comfort over you today and please know you are not alone! I mean it. When the going gets tough, you've got a community here. This is more than a random YT channel. You are seen! Sending a big big hug.
@@rosalieelliottofficial thank you, Rosalie! What you have said to me helps me a lot! Having a bad emotional day today plus I am home from work today sick with some sinus garbage...yuck🙄 I am so sorry for your loss as well. It is so hard to lose the ones that are closest to us. I have lost cousins, friends, co-workers, but nothing hurts like losing parents, children or our significant others. I have always loved butterflies. My love for them came from my divorce at 26.Very dark place with 3 small daughters at that time . I blossomed from that with the help of a great family therapist. God bless your sweet heart & soul, Rosalie! You have a special spirit. ❤️
Thank you for your journey, and dont worry your not alone i cry with you. after my 3 yr old daughter was diagnosed with a terminal cancer 2 years ago, This song and NF make me feel im not alone in my own mental lockdown and struggle.
Take your time on the journey. “How could you leave us” is a tough one, but sooo many great tracks after! Don’t wait too long after “how could you leave us” to do another track. You need a better headspace track to move on.
The limitless vulnerability of an empathetic psychologist unlocks a hidden depth of understanding that can be a difficult tightrope to walk. Internalized pain is such a powerful inspiration. Let's hope his artistry continues to be the life raft that delivers freedom. It can be an overwhelming balancing act to stay transparently real while burdened with such darkness to battle beyond. The sad reality is to consider the consequence that recovery often results in sacrificing the relatability that enabled the freedom. That is a tough one to reconcile.
i cannot explain the amount of real emotions your videos bring me. seeing someone’s real reactions to whether it’s a happy or sad song it’s amazing. i feel so safe on this channel, i feel like i truly apart of something good and i wish you nothing but the best forward ❤
That makes me so so happy to hear, Maria. You being a part of this is one of the reasons it’s a good thing. You guys make it good. Thank you for sharing your time w me and commenting.
Until today this is in my top 5 song ever. He saved me, without him I wouldn't be here. Great reaction, keep it up! 🤍 You gonna love How Could You Leave Us 🦋
I had goosebumps throughout the whole entire song cause I feel like this everyday to and every lyric just hits me on another level but this song and alien from lucidious helps me talk about them paralysing thoughts
This is a great song, the sad thing is tho I have been feeling paralyzed since i was 16, i didn't realize till i was 18, I'm 23 now and I'm still dealing with this Bs. I listen to this song to help but it only works for a day or so, I barely crack a smile or shed.a tear now , but I love your content ❤ keep trying to help people
THIS is a beautifully haunting song that puts into words that describe EXACTLY how I felt in the months...even years after I lost my son. I would find myself just sitting there completely lost and paralyzed. I went threw the initial disbelief and shock and anger when my son died but then I couldn't FEEL anything. I was completely numb. It took me years to be able to feel again. I cried alot in the first couple weeks adter my Kayden died but then I couldn't cry anymore. When I FINALLY broke through that I screamed and cried like a damn bursting open and so much emotion came.flooding through. Great reaction!!
I think everyone at Some point needs a Form of Outlet or coping. And That NF can be this thing for many people and even bringing people together to a community, where they can relate to each other and Start opening up is amszing. And also for those who wont speak about their struggle or feel like they cant using his songs to Show how they feel is amazing. For me this thing of coping was Start watching Crime shows tho,after my dad passed away. And it helped alot. And From their on Crime shows became a passion for me.
This track makes me 😥😥😥😥 everytime. They use this track in a vid from the Playstation game DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN. And the part where Connor goes "I felt him die!" I absolutely break down
I recall years back, this was a track i found myself subconsciously always drawn to.. and after enough self reflection, i realized it was a massive part of my life i had just somehow ignored when i had a major trauma, triggering my personality disorder to switch fully on. This was like 13 years ago, but i STILL remember the event and this feeling of immediate disconnect with the world i had which i always had attributed to being in full panic attack mode. Frozen, incoherent, feeling alone in a dark corner in a distance with everything just unbearably silent. I lost myself. After a slow few days, i swear to you, it felt as though i had someone ripped my skin/identity away and was some very new person. I went from being an extrovert to very withdrawn, extremely socially anxious, insomia, frozen in what to do. Eventually, due to having been brought up extremely resilient in “acceptance” thanks to my parents who always had an inkling i had received the “family curse”, and basically raised me on a high dose of positive affirmations about myself, i just accepted i didnt understand what occurred, but live on. But, i spent the next 2 years in a very cold stasis. I was functioning on the outside, but frozen on the inside. I began going on mental crusades to find the “old me”.. i swear, bc it sounds so sad remembering how little i knew at the time and naive i was, but i reacted kinda like i had imposter syndrome.. and maybe i did for a few years bc i was just dragging myself along. Eventually, more symptoms began surfacing like dissociation during high stress.. id lose 5min- 2 hour periods of time nearly weekly. No idea it was occurring for months until one person finally took notice, but.. i was stubborn. Doesnt matter.. point is, it lead me to a situation where i briefly lost my own life for 30 secs, and crushed my body forcing me into treatment. I was forced to finally face SOO much i had learned to just tune out and ignore whenever something related to my trauma would come up, id learned to go into some bot mode. TW (my trauma involved the death of an abusive ex who had taken his life, knowing it would force me to be the one to find his body with my dog in the house barking his head off) This song, i think, used to ring so much familiarity for me bc i think it reminded me of the self abuse i took and the results. I was functioning, but on the inside, i was in that box underwater running out of oxygen bc i refused to face myself and who i had become. ❤ #nfrealmusic he hits you in places not even the best therapists could by sneaking into our playlists. He’s a tragic, beautiful, angelic genius.
Great vid. When you get to How Could You Leave Us you're gonna die. It's so emotion. Excited to see you react to some more upbeat songs of his as well. He's got some real banger songs too. Keep it up!👍
Wow! One of my favorite songs. I love that we can feel music on such a fundamentally emotional level that tears are the only way we can express how we feel. I was crying with you! Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and share this with us.
This song I relate to so much because after landing in the emergency room and having two seizures one after another and not knowing why I feel like that took away a part of who I was as a person and I don't know how to get that person back
Hi Ruben. that must have been very scary for you. Have they been able to identify a bit more what may be causing it? I hope you can get the healing and care you need. I hope you can also rest a bit, knowing that you are seen and loved and that you are not your diagnosis. It is a part of what you may be struggling with, so in no way am I saying, it isn't real or valid or hard, but I hope I can encourage you that there is still so much more of who you are, that you can discover. Or as some say, you are becoming who you are. :) you are a human being. it's an ongoing thing. be gracious with yourself.
Dear Rosalie °I send a big hug from Greece. Always is experience to watch your reactions. In my opinion worse than physically is being paralyzed mentally. The line "I'm in a box,but I am the one who locked me in" ,hits hard (as we know that Nate was diagnosed with OCD). Definitely one of my favorite. Thank you. #NFREALMUSIC
Let me open up 🌳💥🟰🟰🟰🛻 how I feel daily but mask with laughter and fake smiles. I feel guilty. Ashamed of what I’m addicted to. I’m scared. I feel like I’m relapsing. I’m in pain on the inside. There’s no question as to why I feel the way I do, because it’s the dumb-a looking back me in the mirror. I hate myself. It burns when my parents say we’re so proud of you. Why am I still here. I don’t remember what peace or joy feels like anymore.
This song is simplistic and so realistic... and hits you right in the gut... with a well placed feelz-stick... surreal and Nate gets iT.... only guy that can make me cry... Great raw reaction Rosalie... got something in your eye... NF journey cuts you to the quick... like a candle of emotions.... slowly burning at the wick... Nate's best song?... take your pick... just one question.... do you like my schtick? ;)
Absolutely in love with you’re reactions to NF well and Angelina Jordan but this is about NF. Sooo glad you’re continuing his journey because I believe with everything I have that because of your degrees and passion for music this is going to be your favorite artist to react to as far as both of those worlds colliding between your passion and degree ma’am! Thank you again and I’m here waiting for your next reaction!!
Started watching your reactions because I love NF, but wow you have Metallica, Tool, and other great bands. Love this. Just subbed. Great work and keep up with the NF. I have so many favs that I hope you listen to.
I loved this one especially the way you connect with what he sings about and how yoyu still break it all down think the fact that your such an empath I think is why I can connect with you so well I am the same way and I am greatful that I found you on here you have become my absolute favorite reactor and I have watched alot of them you make the ride so worth it please always do this. I am telling you this one hit hard and he is definitely very good at making you feel every bit of what he is saying the messages in his stuff are so deep I like him for that. as always your ride or die forever EyyOooo P.S. I no this feeling I was there 2 years ago for sure I am just now getting back to me now this one touched me in a different way because of that.
Amazing reaction Rosalie!💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💯🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻 Your reactions are so raw and real and that's what I love about your channel but mostly you. I have a profound love for people who are real. You are one of the most realest reactors out there. You are truly a member of the NF family💯❤💯🙏🏻 Thank you Roaslie for being you! Your just amazing and awesome! An inspiration to me🙏🏻💯
When I was in my darkest place, this is a song that I would play to my friends and family because it perfectly described how I was feeling. This song put my depression into words that others could understand.

I can only imagine how ur parents must have felt listening to this song knowing that was their daughter feeling that.
Blessings
I got major depression and personality disorder love nf
Know how you feel but there’s still hope
This is why we love NF. He puts into words everything that we are feeling but dont know how to say. He is our therapist in a way.
Agreed nf help through my mental disorders
NF somehow puts into words everything that I feel, but don’t know how to explain.
I have made this comment so many times over the last five years. I’ll tell somebody I don’t even know what I am feeling right now and then I will listen to NF song and be like yes! That’s it.
This song has the perfect lyrics to show how I've felt in the past. This song will always be my favorite. ❤️
Same, bro.
The way you relate to NF is sometimes the way I relate to you. Thank you for keeping it genuine. And for bringing faith in self and/or God to it’s proper level of importance.
Thank you. His music hits home

I think it's the fact that this hits home HARD....so HARD for me
I have never been through what he has. Yet I understand everything he is saying. Been through a lot of stuff in my life. His music has actually pulled me out of the depths. I'm back to where I need to be. Love this song.
I can see you relate like me. There's millions of us.
I've listened to this song hundreds of times and I still get the tears in my eyes. Thank you for doing this one. This is 1 of my top 3 NF songs. I appreciate you and your analysis 🖤💚
And yep I listened to this till the end lol. Ride or die lol. You are amazing and you have a beautiful heart. Thank you again. 🖤💚
Eyy!! thank you :) Ride or Die for real! thank you for the kind comment.

vastly underated singer. no one is the full package like NF
NF is the greatest of all time. He shows you what truly matters.
This song shows why Happy is in fact a happy song - it is about breaking free from the emotional paralysis of living in comfortable, familiar misery.
His music will have you feeling and thinking relating and his talent is raw and real he deserves the support he gets.
Soo many of you in here are sharing a lot of your life situations with the rest of us.
I hope you find yourselves and love yourselves as I appear to love you all in this moment. It breaks my heart to hear read all that I just did when going through the comments.

This was my introduction to nf. When I was in a dark place mentally, I didn't know how to express it. But this song perfectly explained how I felt.
How are you doing now?
@AkashaKumarSwain not much better. A lot has been going on this year. Hoping 2025 will be better 🙏 😔

I’m so sorry for your loss :(
@@rosalieelliottofficial I appreciate it. 😢
Btw when he talks about being trapped in a "house" or "mansion" he's talking about being stuck or lost in his head and his thoughts
NF is simply the best on a multitude of levels.

This song permenatly altered my life the first time i heard it. I just couldnt stop crying. It woke me up from what felt like an emotional coma.
Rosalie - Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to NF Paralyzed. I just lost my brother today and I am getting comfort from seeing others react to this song (for some reason). So, thank you.
NF is more real than any other rapper, though he reveals more than the rest, even he doesn't reveal everything about himself.
That’s true. I don’t think anyone does and even if they did we will never know ever aspect and nuance to the heart and kind of another. But he def keeps it real :)
NF has pulled me through hell in my life and gives me the strength to carry on.

I'll probs never get the chance to say thank you to him.
Everything in NF songs is himself unless it says otherwise. Singing, high voices, low. All him
🖤NF is Life🖤
All him. Layered vocals. Mixed to perfection.
The pain in his voice makes me emotional to songs like Paralyzed, Trauma, How Could You Leave Us, Chasing and other songs he songs on as well.
Love this Song and ur reactions too, much love from Germany
'How could you leave us'by nf no matter how manny times i hear ut it always hits way to deep
This song… all NF. Man this song was probably the first NF song I cried to.

This song is one of my FAVORITES of Nate's. This song hits me soooo hard! I have had 4 major losses in my life in 2 1/2 years. My daughter, my favorite aunt, my grandma and now my mom 3 months ago.

That's how I've been feeling since 2021.. Long story, but I'm still trying to find myself again..
His music is so therapeutic
There's nothing ugly about crying... Drops of tear are more pure than diamonds
Take your time on the journey. “How could you leave us” is a tough one, but sooo many great tracks after! Don’t wait too long after “how could you leave us” to do another track. You need a better headspace track to move on.
Love your reaction nf helped me throughout 2023 to help me understand that I’m not the only one going through hell
The limitless vulnerability of an empathetic psychologist unlocks a hidden depth of understanding that can be a difficult tightrope to walk.
Internalized pain is such a powerful inspiration. Let's hope his artistry continues to be the life raft that delivers freedom.
It can be an overwhelming balancing act to stay transparently real while burdened with such darkness to battle beyond.
The sad reality is to consider the consequence that recovery often results in sacrificing the relatability that enabled the freedom. That is a tough one to reconcile.
Very well said and well written
This song hits so close for me in the way I relate to this song
this song tells how i feel everyday
I love NF and your reactions! Keep up the great work! Take care
How could you leave is a true story of a sad moment in his life!
This song have something else, it is so powerful he puts words on feelings we can't described
If there is no FT than its all NF singing❤❤
i cannot explain the amount of real emotions your videos bring me. seeing someone’s real reactions to whether it’s a happy or sad song it’s amazing. i feel so safe on this channel, i feel like i truly apart of something good and i wish you nothing but the best forward ❤
That makes me so so happy to hear, Maria. You being a part of this is one of the reasons it’s a good thing. You guys make it good. Thank you for sharing your time w me and commenting.
NF's music just hits different ❤
Until today this is in my top 5 song ever.
He saved me, without him I wouldn't be here. Great reaction, keep it up! 🤍
You gonna love How Could You Leave Us 🦋
Im looking back to those days when this song and me were the best of friends😢
GOD Bless You young lady! Great reaction and especially appreciated and agreed with all You shared.
I had goosebumps throughout the whole entire song cause I feel like this everyday to and every lyric just hits me on another level but this song and alien from lucidious helps me talk about them paralysing thoughts
NF is insane! I love his stuff
This is a great song, the sad thing is tho I have been feeling paralyzed since i was 16, i didn't realize till i was 18, I'm 23 now and I'm still dealing with this Bs. I listen to this song to help but it only works for a day or so, I barely crack a smile or shed.a tear now , but I love your content ❤ keep trying to help people
Nf's on a mission to help people, it's as deep as it gets, "Where is the real me?" at 6 maybe...
Take all the time you need, glad to be here for the journey!
THIS is a beautifully haunting song that puts into words that describe EXACTLY how I felt in the months...even years after I lost my son. I would find myself just sitting there completely lost and paralyzed. I went threw the initial disbelief and shock and anger when my son died but then I couldn't FEEL anything. I was completely numb. It took me years to be able to feel again. I cried alot in the first couple weeks adter my Kayden died but then I couldn't cry anymore. When I FINALLY broke through that I screamed and cried like a damn bursting open and so much emotion came.flooding through. Great reaction!!
For me personally NF is the best. His songs was my only solution and hope 😢
How this song never made it to radio is beyond me.
This is my go to song after being paralysed.
I think everyone at Some point needs a Form of Outlet or coping. And That NF can be this thing for many people and even bringing people together to a community, where they can relate to each other and Start opening up is amszing.
And also for those who wont speak about their struggle or feel like they cant using his songs to Show how they feel is amazing.
For me this thing of coping was Start watching Crime shows tho,after my dad passed away. And it helped alot.
And From their on Crime shows became a passion for me.
This track makes me 😥😥😥😥 everytime. They use this track in a vid from the Playstation game DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN. And the part where Connor goes "I felt him die!" I absolutely break down
This song is the goat of sad fan edits of movies/shows
I recall years back, this was a track i found myself subconsciously always drawn to.. and after enough self reflection, i realized it was a massive part of my life i had just somehow ignored when i had a major trauma, triggering my personality disorder to switch fully on. This was like 13 years ago, but i STILL remember the event and this feeling of immediate disconnect with the world i had which i always had attributed to being in full panic attack mode. Frozen, incoherent, feeling alone in a dark corner in a distance with everything just unbearably silent. I lost myself. After a slow few days, i swear to you, it felt as though i had someone ripped my skin/identity away and was some very new person. I went from being an extrovert to very withdrawn, extremely socially anxious, insomia, frozen in what to do.
Eventually, due to having been brought up extremely resilient in “acceptance” thanks to my parents who always had an inkling i had received the “family curse”, and basically raised me on a high dose of positive affirmations about myself, i just accepted i didnt understand what occurred, but live on. But, i spent the next 2 years in a very cold stasis. I was functioning on the outside, but frozen on the inside. I began going on mental crusades to find the “old me”.. i swear, bc it sounds so sad remembering how little i knew at the time and naive i was, but i reacted kinda like i had imposter syndrome.. and maybe i did for a few years bc i was just dragging myself along.
Eventually, more symptoms began surfacing like dissociation during high stress.. id lose 5min- 2 hour periods of time nearly weekly. No idea it was occurring for months until one person finally took notice, but.. i was stubborn. Doesnt matter.. point is, it lead me to a situation where i briefly lost my own life for 30 secs, and crushed my body forcing me into treatment. I was forced to finally face SOO much i had learned to just tune out and ignore whenever something related to my trauma would come up, id learned to go into some bot mode. TW (my trauma involved the death of an abusive ex who had taken his life, knowing it would force me to be the one to find his body with my dog in the house barking his head off)
This song, i think, used to ring so much familiarity for me bc i think it reminded me of the self abuse i took and the results. I was functioning, but on the inside, i was in that box underwater running out of oxygen bc i refused to face myself and who i had become. ❤ #nfrealmusic he hits you in places not even the best therapists could by sneaking into our playlists. He’s a tragic, beautiful, angelic genius.
Great vid. When you get to How Could You Leave Us you're gonna die. It's so emotion. Excited to see you react to some more upbeat songs of his as well. He's got some real banger songs too. Keep it up!👍
You're like the perfect blend of a person. Thank you for this reaction!
I relate a lot to this song right now.
I love your videos so much 💕 quickly became one of my favorite channels on RUclips period so thank you!! I cannot WAIT for how could you leave us omg
I’m honored! Thank you very much :)
thank you for this awesome reaction and breakdown
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching :)
Wow! One of my favorite songs. I love that we can feel music on such a fundamentally emotional level that tears are the only way we can express how we feel. I was crying with you! Thank you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and share this with us.
well said!! so true. sometimes there's only tears and emotions that can't be put into words. Thank you for your comment and kind feedback
Love experiencing the journey again with you, great content❤️
This song I relate to so much because after landing in the emergency room and having two seizures one after another and not knowing why I feel like that took away a part of who I was as a person and I don't know how to get that person back
Hi Ruben. that must have been very scary for you. Have they been able to identify a bit more what may be causing it? I hope you can get the healing and care you need. I hope you can also rest a bit, knowing that you are seen and loved and that you are not your diagnosis. It is a part of what you may be struggling with, so in no way am I saying, it isn't real or valid or hard, but I hope I can encourage you that there is still so much more of who you are, that you can discover. Or as some say, you are becoming who you are. :) you are a human being. it's an ongoing thing. be gracious with yourself.
Dear Rosalie °I send a big hug from Greece. Always is experience to watch your reactions. In my opinion worse than physically is being paralyzed mentally. The line "I'm in a box,but I am the one who locked me in" ,hits hard (as we know that Nate was diagnosed with OCD). Definitely one of my favorite. Thank you. #NFREALMUSIC
wow I didn't know he had been diagnosed with OCD. how fitting. and thank you, Demi! :) You said that well. Mental paralyzation is no joke.
This is life
Let me open up
🌳💥🟰🟰🟰🛻 how I feel daily but mask with laughter and fake smiles.
I feel guilty. Ashamed of what I’m addicted to. I’m scared. I feel like I’m relapsing. I’m in pain on the inside. There’s no question as to why I feel the way I do, because it’s the dumb-a looking back me in the mirror. I hate myself. It burns when my parents say we’re so proud of you. Why am I still here. I don’t remember what peace or joy feels like anymore.
Hey I hope you’re doing ok. I know it’s eight months later but I’ll be praying for you ❤
NF 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
This song got me through a lot of dark places
Raction after reaction, you are slowly becoming my favorite reactor...thanks for this!!!
What an honor. Thank you :)
🔥🔥💯💯 Reaction NFrealmusic 💯💯, I really enjoy listening to your thoughts on NF'S tracks, and completely agree with everything you shared.
This song is simplistic and so realistic...
and hits you right in the gut...
with a well placed feelz-stick...
surreal and Nate gets iT....
only guy that can make me cry...
Great raw reaction Rosalie...
got something in your eye...
NF journey cuts you to the quick...
like a candle of emotions....
slowly burning at the wick...
Nate's best song?... take your pick...
just one question....
do you like my schtick? ;)
Well done!! 👏 😀 yes, I def had something in my eye. NF knows how to keep it real!
This song saved me ❤️
I believe there's something like an orchestral mix of this as well.
Absolutely in love with you’re reactions to NF well and Angelina Jordan but this is about NF. Sooo glad you’re continuing his journey because I believe with everything I have that because of your degrees and passion for music this is going to be your favorite artist to react to as far as both of those worlds colliding between your passion and degree ma’am! Thank you again and I’m here waiting for your next reaction!!
Thank you :) I’m excited to explore his music more and more.
THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO PARALYZED, Consider reacting to "Let You Down" also by NF
This is my favorite NF song, as an empath & domestic abuse survivor this song applies to the past & present 💗 💫
Every question has an answer yin yang
The end is the best in my opinion
Started watching your reactions because I love NF, but wow you have Metallica, Tool, and other great bands. Love this. Just subbed. Great work and keep up with the NF. I have so many favs that I hope you listen to.
Welcome! :) thank you. I’m excited to explore lots more
I loved this one especially the way you connect with what he sings about and how yoyu still break it all down think the fact that your such an empath I think is why I can connect with you so well I am the same way and I am greatful that I found you on here you have become my absolute favorite reactor and I have watched alot of them you make the ride so worth it please always do this. I am telling you this one hit hard and he is definitely very good at making you feel every bit of what he is saying the messages in his stuff are so deep I like him for that. as always your ride or die forever EyyOooo P.S. I no this feeling I was there 2 years ago for sure I am just now getting back to me now this one touched me in a different way because of that.
Amazing reaction Rosalie!💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💯🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻 Your reactions are so raw and real and that's what I love about your channel but mostly you. I have a profound love for people who are real. You are one of the most realest reactors out there.
