      That's weird.. I was just reliving those years when I heard this song.. this song was popular while I was in rehab for heroin and that's where I heard it for the first time. Music from that time period hits me in an entirely different way than anything else

      +Sophie Arabella I think it's supposed to show how the light of his life (her) is walking out on him.
      Edit: I noticed how the scene of her leaving is the only time he's fully lit in the video. The parts afterward he's mostly only lit on half of his face, showing his feeling of emptiness.
      Also after the line "...So I put a bullet where I should of put a helmet and crashed my car 'cause I wanna get carried away" (Saying he blew his brains out in his car, so he could at least have a decent funeral) He is completely dark on this point forward from the video, signifying his death.
      Just added this to support my theory, any other ideas anyone?

    @syifanadiarahmawati1256 3 года назад +73

    Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
    Calling my name and I follow just to find you
    I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather
    And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause
    I frozen time between hearses and caskets
    Lost control when i panicked at the acid test
    I wanna get better
    While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
    I was losing my mind 'cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
    That I gave wasted on a nice face
    In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
    Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
    So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars,
    Hey, I wanna get better!
    I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better
    I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better
    I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
    Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
    Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
    Now I'm a stranger
    And I miss the days of a life still permanent
    Mourn the years before I got carried away
    So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself,
    Hey, I wanna get better!
    I didn't know I was lonely 'til i saw your face
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better
    I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better
    'Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
    I'm screaming from my bedroom window
    Even if its gonna kill me
    Woke up this morning early before my family
    From this dream where she was trying to show me
    How a life can move from the darkness
    She said to get better
    So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
    And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away
    That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself,
    Hey, I wanna get better!
    I didn't know I was lonely 'til i saw your face
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better
    I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
    I wanna get better, better, better, better,
    I wanna get better

    “I didn’t know I was broken until I wanted to change” really resonated with me.
    I ignored my mental health problems and alcoholism and didn’t want to address them, convincing myself I didn’t have a problem.
    I finally admitted I had a problem when I went to get help.

    If anyone is going through things mentally and feels alone, just know that this will get better as long as you’re willing to fight. Even if you aren’t willing to do it for yourself. Do not give up, breathe, know that I don’t even have to know your name or where you’re from but I love you and we’re all fighting together. We will get through this. You are strong, you are beautiful, and you will get better.

    sitting outside AA 2 hours before they open at 8am and after the suicide hotline didnt answer listening to this song because i needed to change my life is the most powerful thing ive ever felt. lip syncing, smoking the remnants of a pack of cigarettes realizing i really do want to change and after almost a year living the life i know i deserve, a loving wife, a baby on the way. this song has truly changed my life in a way i never thought possible by music (i never wanted it to mean so much to me imagine being influenced by music lol) but it was and it kept me sitting there for the whole 2 hours so i can change my life for the better. And it worked!~ there is hope people its just 1 more week its just 1 more day from now. trust me a random guy on the internet who had nothing and gained everything even if it feels like nothing is going your way it truly is i only did the 1 AA meeting so this isnt some religious thing but really truly you can do it you know you can and i know you can just hold on please.

    [Verse 1]
    Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room
    Calling my name and I follow just to find you
    I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather
    And I've trained myself to give up on the past cause
    I frozen time between hearses and caskets
    Lost control when I panicked at the acid test
    I wanna get better
    [Verse 2]
    While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines
    I was losing my mind cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love
    That I gave wasted on a nice face
    In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet
    Counting seconds through the night and got carried away
    [Pre-Chorus]
    So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars
    "Hey, I wanna get better!"
    [Chorus]
    I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
    I wanna get better, better, better, better
    I wanna get better
    I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change
    I wanna get better, better, better, better
    I wanna get better
    [Verse 3]
    I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling
    Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling
    Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was
    Now I'm a stranger
    And I miss the days of a life still permanent
    Mourn the years before I got carried away
    [Pre-Chorus]
    So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself
    "Hey, I wanna get better!"
    [Chorus]
    I didn’t know I was lonely 'til I saw your face
    I wanna get better, better, better, better
    I wanna get better
    I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change
    I wanna get better, better, better, better
    I wanna get better
    [Bridge]
    Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi
    I'm screaming from my bedroom window
    Even if it's gonna kill me
    [Verse 4]
    Woke up this morning early before my family
    From this dream where she was trying to show me
    How a life can move from the darkness
    She said to get better
    So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet
    And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away

    One of the few songs (and even artists) that how I think of their songs has grown with me. COMPLETELY different than the first time I heard it. AMAZING.
