    I'm not an 8, but this song speeks to me on another level. As a person who grew up in an abusive household, the lines " I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too, now I'm a broken mirror." hits close to home, as long as many of the lyrics. This songs may not be talking about it but I see the crooked path of recovery within the words somehow. I love it, this is art.

      I don't really know anything about personality types, but as someone who recently started to learn more about and recover from their complex trauma (bullying and other school problems, abusive friendships, and some family stuff) this song really resonates with me, too. I feel like it really mirrors the way I feel about this recovery journey and the vulnerabilty that comes with opening up about things that remained unspoken for a long time.

  • @ceilpomphrey7656

    Everything about this speaks so much to me, and I truly don't understand how Ryan managed to capture the way Eights' like to talk about their vulnerabilities from a place that allows them to not have to actually be vulnerable. He really showed how we want so desperately to make this world a better place and how we put that burden of being a guiding light and a steady source of strength on ourselves in order to achieve that world. I really loved the opening image of a flipped switch because (and they talked about this in the podcast) Eights have this specific moment where they chose not to follow all the rules and not to be "weak" anymore. I also really appreciated how Ryan didn't fall into stereotyping Eights as having anger issues and instead showed how passionate and driven we are.

      I’ve really appreciated the depth that his songs have given. (As a nine) i have especially struggled to understand and appreciate eights, most of the representations have been really comically antagonist and I felt like there was more to it than that. I was really happy to find how much I could understand from this song and think that that much drive is really inspiring. I’m glad to hear this song is something that finally speaks to the hearts of eights as well as help you be better understood

      Mathia S I agree. If i tell someone I’m an eight, I feel like a lot of people automatically assume that I’ve got anger issues or that I’m going to bully someone. A lot of times if people ask what being an eight really is, I recommend this song cause it gets all aspects of us instead of just like, “anger problems” or “workaholic” like a lot of other things.

      @@drpizzagames1015 The part of the song where the 8 is opening themselves up and learning how to be a protector for others while letting others in, is a very pivotal point in any person's struggle to better manage their fears of trust and abandonment. For me the abrupt ending hit me in a hard way because I interpreted it as this person [The 8] finding their courage to open up and stand up for people who they feel they used to be like, but only for a short period of time before the song cuts off. Like a quick death. Personally, I have a fear that I'll find my courage to trust in someone too late and have my life cut short just as I'm getting to know people (and letting others know me, too). It's a pretty visceral sort of fear so something in the back of my head applied it to this song's ending and when there was only silence, my brain went "Great! Now cry."

    We were the kids who stood up, the kids who became heroes. We saw the weak being abused and we were strong enough to put a stop to it. We were the heroes. But a price comes with being the one who stands up. The kid who fought. We saw the weak being hurt, and we knew to protect them, we couldn’t be weak. We refused. So we fought the wars, we protected the innocent, and we buried the child inside. We pushed back against affection because if we let someone truly love us, they could hurt us. We were strong enough to wear the armor, but not strong enough to take it off. We fought because it’s the only thing we knew what to do. We fought because we loved, and when we loved, we protected. We were the kids who became heroes, became the heroes we never had.

    As a Dream SMP/MCYT fan to other Dream SMP/MCYT fans: this is a (hopefully) gentle reminder to please try not to fill the comment section with fandom-specific references or topics!! This song is much more than just an inspiration for Wilbur’s character. You can discuss that at length in your fandom-specific spaces if you have them C:. There are so many of us that it’s easy for us to fill spaces and speak over comments about the original content, like this song for example. You can still talk about it elsewhere. Just remember to be courteous of other fans :D
    And of course, if someone gets overly annoyed at a comment section, they should take a bit of a break. But this song is so meaningful on its own that I don’t want to overshadow comments about the content itself :D
    Nobody has to agree with me, but I think it would be nice. It’s just an opinion and my words are not the end-all-be-all. I hope anyone reading this has a nice day C:

      To all it concerns
      Here’s to wishing for you all happiness and love ♥️
      If you as a individual can love this hard, why won’t another love you this hard, or any other personality type for that matter. Unless you’re the most narcissistic individual on the planet to think only you are capable of truly loving, then there’s no reason to believe their aren’t people like your characteristics amongst us. Personality types are a guessing guideline not scripture.
      You will be happy God willing. Just focus on being grateful to God because that is a form of self love that no one can replace. If you can’t be grateful for your five senses, your hands and limbs, your time, your interests and passions, and all the innumerable blessings God has bestowed on you, how can you be mad at someone not loving you the way you deserve?
      You do not know what you have until it’s gone. There is innumerable reasons to be grateful. Not the cup of coffee but the One who made the universe bend and shift in order to bring that very cup of coffee to your lips. It didn’t just fall from the sky. From the seed to the production and brewing to the drinking to the tasting and appreciating. In these are all signs of Gods existence and mercy. Had He not sent down rain from the skies, or given the coffee bean the right environment or given life to it, it would not exist. Had you no nose you wouldn’t smell it’s amazing scent. Or a tongue to taste. Or eyes to see it’s beautiful rich colour. Or a mind to think. Or a heart to appreciate and be grateful. The task of being grateful is in and of itself a blessing That you have lips to speak grateful words with, a heart to feel and a mind to think. Hands to care. And limbs to make physical change in the world.
      It is not the coffee ☕️ that you should be grateful to. It is the One who created the coffee bean and gave it life, flavour, existence and purpose. Everything that serves you has a purpose. So then ask yourself, why do you exclude yourself from this? The very cup you bring to your lips serves a purpose. But the drinker is just going through life like a purposefully blind deaf dumb (in regards to the blindness of the heart and mind) individual closed off to the world around and inside of them… why? What logic is this.
      I forward the question to you all…. did you create yourself?

    after listening to a whole sequence of songs i thought to myself "this one must be mine", i did a test and i have 98% Eight. I am also feeling personally related to "two" and i have 91%. you guys made an amazing job with those songs. i can't believe this band is so underrated

      i had the exact same experience, but flipped! I listened to 'two' for about a year without knowing its connection to the enneagram test. when i started listening to this song i loved it, did a bit of research, and eventually took the test. turns out im a 98% match with two and a 93% match with eight haha. never rlly placed much stock in mbti/zodiac/whatever, but the enneagram thing is uncannily accurate haha.

    • @justayeet5905

      I always connected with enneagram better than mbti. But that’s a thing about eights feeling like twos sometimes. When we’re feeling comfortable or unstressed, a lot of us tend to lean towards some attributes of twos.

    Here's the lyrics ..
    I remember the minute
    It was like a switch was flipped
    I was just a kid who grew up strong enough
    To pick this armor up
    And suddenly it fit
    God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago
    I was little, I was weak, perfectly naive
    And I grew up too quick
    Now you won't see all that I have to lose
    And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
    I won't let you in, I swore never again
    I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected
    I want to break these bones 'til they're better
    I want to break them right and feel alive
    You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
    My healing needed more than time
    When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things
    I see the familiar
    I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too
    Now I'm a broken mirror
    But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
    All I've lost in the fight to protect it
    I can't let you in, I swore never again
    I can't afford to let myself be blindsided
    I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
    And all I want is to trust you
    Show me how to lay my sword down
    For long enough to let you through
    Here I am, pry me open
    What do you want to know?
    I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
    To hold the door shut
    And bury my innocence
    But here's a map, here's a shovel
    Here's my Achilles' heel
    I'm all in, palms out, I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
    I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in
    I'll shake the ground with all my might
    I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
    For the innocent, for the vulnerable
    I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
    And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, I'll give my sweat
    An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
    I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
    Invincible like I've never been

But of little things I have been blessed to learn about him, this song sums up who he is accurately... and this song makes me feel like I can understand him and be connected to him in a way... it's the only part of him that has been made public and I cling to that... I hope that someday I can meet this part of him through him... and hold him and love him and protect him like he deserves...

    This is a well-composed song! The best thing about this song is the balance between the upbeat feel and the emotional bits. It is diverse but not overly-complicated, while easily perceivable. I also like how the song transitions from being upbeat to being expressive. It sounds as if the Eight drops their guard, which is exactly what the song is trying to depict. Well done on the word painting and overall production. I find it difficult to compare this with Nine because both of them are really good in different ways, but one thing they have in common is that they are all both my no. 1 songs!

It’s cool to say how you found this song but constantly making references to something else isn’t great.

      Ngl, I was a little annoyed when I went to listen to this song again and somehow, in the time since I'd last been there, the comment section had been taken over by the dream smp people. I keep running into you guys everywhere, despite never having seen any content from the actual smp.
      But like. I've been in some huge, intense fandoms before. I get it. It feels like some kind of cosmic justice that I'm now on the other side of those flooded comment sections.
      And after a bit of thought, I guess I'm more happy that tons of new people are discovering my favourite musician. Tons of young, queer people from everything I gather, which in my mind improves any community :D So yeah.

      Trust me, you’re not the only one. I had no idea, until I saw the damn top comment, but at least SAL is finally getting the recognition it deserves

      Yeah, I felt that way too when I saw this comment section for the first time.
      And like, I don't wanna be mean, they're just having fun and I've been in annoying fandoms too when I was younger (and so have you, I'm guessing, person who calls themselves "sans" lmao). But I can't help but miss the way this community/comment sections felt before one of the Minecraft White Guys sent his army over here.
