Actually i think this song is about her running away from tge memories, but in driver license it's about her reminding herself of the memories even though it gives her more pain
@@NatKhatoon The only reason they’re comparing the two songs is because they were both really popular when they first came out. They’re not saying they have the same meaning lmao.
Like you can HEAR the pain and sorrow in her voice. especially during and after the "staying in my play pretend" part. so heart felt and real. I love this artist so much!
This song reminds me of being 3 years clean from cocaine and heavy marijuana usage, making poor decisions, and recklessness… this song is an ode to my old self. Recovered from eating disorders, and many bad memories. I was just trying to stay high to fill the void of pain I didn’t want to face. Such a beautiful song! And a BANGER
I know I’m just a stranger on the internet- but I’m proud of you! 3 years clean is so good, it’s not easy and I’m proud of you for sticking it out. Here’s to staying clean 🎉🙌
i'm struggling a lot with drug abuse too atm and reading this was actually so encouraging & comforting :') you're doing amazing and you're so incredibly strong
@@sanniedeoki you got this, I believe in you. I never thought I’d be able to get to a point where I enjoyed being sober, I now love being sober. Start with removing the people around you that do those drugs and the environments that make you want to do them, it will be a little challenging but with time you will get there. ❤️❤️
Dude u got me realizing. I used to listen to this when I was a kid and sing to it thinking it’s a cool fun song but now I just be laying on da bathroom floor n shit
Its so cool seeing all these people from years ago probably forgotten rhey commented at all but to anyone who reads this i hope you have an amazing life
@@sallybaaby6165 nah 5 and 6 y.o me would have just been quiet liste ing to the song Currently? I completly understand this stuff life is screwed up big time and i learned that at an early age
Definitely has been a realty for me and in the mist of times struggling for sobriety I played the shit out of this song to never forget where I came from
I'm 12 yet I understand this. XD I guess I'm "old enough" to know that she had to stay high to get the man she loved the most off her mind. She had to hang out with others to forget about him while she was slowly falling apart inside. It's pretty messed up once you get the true meaning of the song, and watch all those people make-out with her like that in the sex clubs.
Quizás necesites eso..parar y mirarte a ti..que quieres?que deseas?que sueñas?se honesto y aunque la vida te tambalee podrás salir de ahí y encontrar ilusión y esperanza en el mañana❤😊saludos desde Argentina😊
+Tiarra Nelson Noting that someone is attractive is not disrespect. That would be something that detracts from her value as an individual, not a compliment
This song came out not to long after my husband suddenly passed away. I completely understand exactly what she is saying because I've lived it. The pain of it all was far too great. It destroyed me. He passed away July 26th, 2014. This song makes me cry every time I listen to it but I still love it! RIP Kevin
Well you are going strong in 2020.... probably will keep on going for many more years to come. Don't worry....Kevin is definitely in the best place Heaven has to offer.😊😊
didn't realize how relatable this song would be one day update 2 years later I've moved on and life's actually good lmao i got jacked and got a v pretty loyal gf I'm just saying this so that whoever is in my that position 2 years back don't stop working on yourself be patient and keep fighting!!! cheers to better days!!
Try not to dwell on the past. You not only hold that memory but also all of the emotions that comes along with it. Those thoughts are what hurt your body, mind and soul. You can’t change the future nor the past. Live for today.
People really do struggle with addiction, it's a struggle not a choice, sometimes people are forced to try things and then get addicted to them so stay up, don't start
This song is not sending out the wrong example, it's art. I wouldn't personally get high to ignore my troubles but I love how this song makes me feel, like I can somehow feel the reasoning behind why this person is getting high and shit. Ahh don't listen to me people, I'm high as fucckkk.
Cioaca Cristian i think some guys who listen to this might see her as a kind of surrogate X girl friend who is in pain ... most people between 15 and 35 deal with trouble like this... it has been going on for 150 years.... i would not like it to change ..... my x ran away from home because of her mother .... she was this kind of person .... i hope she is dealing with change in a good way ...
me n my friend are months clean from getting ⬆️ so we blast this song while spinning really fast and throwing ourselves on the bed in a pitch black room and repeat that for like an hour it’s so fun😭
I hate to be the bearer of bad news..but the older u get the more songs like this hit u in the gut. The lyrics are so TRUE. The older u get the darker life is. Welcome to the beginning of getting jaded.
Melanie Godoy Personnaly, I think that loosing your loved one, especially if its your first one, is the deepest form of loss a human being can feel. Like the feeling is barely describable. Just kinda feels like your sun left and youre left there all alone to slowly rott away. You love that person so much that you can't get over her/him.
that's where we are nowadays in the music industry, sadly. there are tons of examples like this. just (an)other one: 'i follow rivers'... heart breaking original version with so much tension and feeling, but ya know whut? naaa we don't need stuff like that make our brains go dump with a pure four quarter time bassdrum beat and neverchanging melodies ._.
my opinion is, that if you're doin' it properly, remixing and sampling is okay. it's just sad when people remix stuff and let music losse it's heart. it's different for people like Lil Peep for example, cause he took things and added his own ideas and creativity to it making it something completely new... there's an sample i think it wasn't even cleared (The Postal Service - Such Great Heights) in 'white tee'. that's something different in my point of view.
Played at my best mates funeral yesterday RIP Skip forever 29 love you brother you was always high and now you’ve grown your wings you’ll forever be high
When this song VERY first came out I got addicted to crack and use to jam this shit like no tomorrow. 7 years later and I'm listening to this sober and I'm just so proud of how far I've came as a person, and how I'm not sitting in a crack house wasting my life away. Still rebuilding my whole life but man its so much better than what its been. It gets better no matter how dark it gets. Keep going.
I honestly got really sad and emotional watching this music video. This song is simple yet raw. It's melancholic in its brutally honest depiction of heartbreak and depression. Now watching the video that goes with the song adds something even more devastating and lonelier to this already gloomy song... Watching Tove emotionally break down in certain parts of this video was so saddening because I know what it's like to break down in the dead of night all alone, and not have anyone hear you, and wanting to always separate yourself from reality because your life feels like shit.
Reminds me of how I felt after my 6year old son died. Cried every day at some point for 10 years. Drove home from hospital (2 hour drive) with my wife in total silence. We cried in the driveway for an hour before we could get out of the car. Did not think the marriage would survive. 21 years an 2 kids later.... still cry about once a week. Will never get over it.
I remember being in freshmen year of high school riding the bus 6:30am in the morning to a school where I didn’t fit in or have any friends. This song made my day then
Flashbacks to when a six year old me would find my sister crying to this song after a breakup, and now being able to feel the same comfort this song gave her
@@apmaz6112 mature people can handle this types of situation due to their experience in life....but for teenagers it really hard cause they don't know enough about how life goes and how to handle different situations... I can see that in my little sister... I was the same when i was in her age So you don't have to laugh on teenagers :)
The reality of what happens when you lose someone you can't get over. You do everything to try to get over them but end up losing yourself in the process.
That loss of ones self.. Is only a portal to true self discovery and evolution. If you can break it before it breaks you Pain is the single most important emotion. Without pain all other emotions would be but a nothing more than a high the masses ingest like a trend untill they fizzle and forever remain unnapreciated
It's what I'm going through rn I haven't lost him exactly I just don't know how to tell him I love him and if he doesn't love me that I would like to have a friendship like we use to have because I don't want to lose him 😭
i remember this song being a vibe when i was younger and didn't understand the lyrics, now i understand, and it's still a vibe, but for different reasons 😂
Searched this song for nostalgia purposes.. listened to this endlessly at a desperately tumultuous time in my life. This song captured every bit of it. Need something to numb the pain; you’re gone and I gotta stay high to keep you off my mind. Aaaahhh!!
yea but without partying and weed distracting me i’d be doing worse things so as of now i’ll just deal with it and continue to lie to myself that i’m ok
man.. ever been to that point when reality is so far behind you in your depression where you play Russian Roulette standing on a bridge to see if you jump or stay? Pretty fucking awful.
Can I just take a moment to talk about how well this video was made. It’s a simple concept but it really brings the feeling and theme of the song out really well. Masterpiece
Went through it a decade ago and feeling that dead inside then I would do all kinds to feel alive again. Turns out scar tissue itches always from time to time but sure toughens the skin.
I just really like the song, mostly because this is what I was like in my early twenties and now I'm 30 getting my self on track studying to be a civil engineer (loving it BTW) and not letting myself get in this state again.
Not really, check out 'My Generation' - The Who, 'Satisfaction' - Rolling Stones, 'A Day In The Life' - Beatles, etc. etc. you sound like you know very little about music.
GravelWorker Those have nothing to do with millennials, though I will confess that My Generation is ageless and applies to every new generation pretty much equally. Fantastic song, too.
AirWaterLandBuffalo Those songs points out the life and heart of the 60s. It defines the generation, and those songs makes up perfectly the generation of the 60s.
Missing her a lot but she’s a lot healthier now and she still look beautiful in my eyes. I’m happy for her cuh. Shi hurt like crazy but sometime you just gotta let them go. 3/22 forever in my heart bbg 😎🖤
@@mepsiemopar8991 im sorry bro you had to go through something like that it will be hard but keep your head high you can get through it never stop believing
Yea, same. I don't really get much sleep anymore, so the lyrics "if anything I'm restless " make too much sense to me. I've also fallen out of a friendship that lasted 4 years, now I ride my bike constantly around my nayborhood. Usually just ride my bike to a trail with some snaks and watch the stars at night, it gets cold sometimes, but I don't mind. I just think about why our friendship had to end? Sorry, songs like this makes me realize how sad I actually am...
@@annepercivalle7324 I read your words and I felt your emotions; so many times I lived your nights, and to know someone has gone through these kind of things makes me thinking about different lives and what can happens to this world. I wish everything will be better for you, otherwise I would like to know you maybe. Good luck for your life, greetings from Italy.
Domenico, thank you for reading my comment. I'm from new zealand but now live in the United States. I'm glad to know that someone has heard me, as I haven't explained to my parents the situation yet, out of fear that they wouldn't understand. I'm also reminded of my bisexuality in this video, I've never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but I've liked both. I don't mean to ramble; I just feel like this is the only place were I can express my feelings.
Carlos Velasquez sane here. When I was 17 during my high school years, I’ve been always wondering what this song was truly about until 5 YEARS LATER!!! XD
Okey this song hits really hard at my age 26, damn. Idk why this song even slipped my tongue. "Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, ooh ohh ohh ohh" .... fr
@@viktoriaszilvasi I understand but why Tibetian monk lol Its literally rarest situation in life n she would not be so sad cause he didnt even left her for someone.
I heard this song a couple years ago and just thought it was cool. Now I'm listening to it again. Song hits differently when you understand the lyrics and actually feel what's being said in the song.
@@deadgirlfrvr has that actually been a true statement she has come forward and said about this music video? :0 i was curious if it was real it seemed like it too real to be acting 4 a music video and just compiled all the videos she had on her phone together and edited them everyday for the song when she truly felt the ways she was expressing through her lyrics
Can't imagine the pain of that person is facing & feeling who'd become like this coz of love for the person. You did a great job on song ma'am, it's full of feelings.

High Top Higher "read little bit of the inside, it might surprise you"
Nayeli Alvarez What?
*All the people that didn't know what "high" meant at the age of 8 can relate.*
Me definitely💀💀
BRUH YES MY MOM ALWAYS LOBED THIS SONG AND DIDNT UNDERSTAND LMAO
I thought she said, "I gotta say hi"
I was 14 and i didnt get it after a year after
Relate to what? Haha wtf
I used to thought this was about breaking up, but now I can see this could also describe the feeling of grieving over someone's death.
When this song VERY first came out I got addicted to crack and use to jam this shit like no tomorrow. 7 years later and I'm listening to this sober and I'm just so proud of how far I've came as a person, and how I'm not sitting in a crack house wasting my life away. Still rebuilding my whole life but man its so much better than what its been. It gets better no matter how dark it gets. Keep going.
I’m proud of you
If I may ask. how do you feel about the new direction the US going, when it comes to legalization of it? Are you in favor of it or against it?
👊
I am so proud of u!! keep it up
Good work, brother, wish you a bright future
I honestly got really sad and emotional watching this music video. This song is simple yet raw. It's melancholic in its brutally honest depiction of heartbreak and depression. Now watching the video that goes with the song adds something even more devastating and lonelier to this already gloomy song...
Watching Tove emotionally break down in certain parts of this video was so saddening because I know what it's like to break down in the dead of night all alone, and not have anyone hear you, and wanting to always separate yourself from reality because your life feels like shit.
understand
Exactly I don't smoke but I like the message 💔
agreed
I think we all can relate to this song know how it feels. Finding different ways to runaway from devastating reality of life .
oh got a whole storie...... let me get my FRIES this time ooooohh oh ooooh
Reminds me of how I felt after my 6year old son died. Cried every day at some point for 10 years. Drove home from hospital (2 hour drive) with my wife in total silence. We cried in the driveway for an hour before we could get out of the car. Did not think the marriage would survive. 21 years an 2 kids later.... still cry about once a week. Will never get over it.
😓
this needs more likes
I know it’s not much but 🤍
Omg, take care of yourselfs! You are so strong!

I remember being in freshmen year of high school riding the bus 6:30am in the morning to a school where I didn’t fit in or have any friends. This song made my day then
lets be honest. you didn’t randomly find this. you searched for it.
drummer girl yeah
Yep. ;)
Brandon Holton ahahahaha me too
I heard in line somewhere recently...it reminded me how great this is....I am going to put it in my set. Feel the pain.
Because we know what we want (probably)
There's no drug strong enough to numb the pain of heartbreak
Lou JNT there is... the power of now. Unleashing your conscious mind and letting go of emotion.

Flashbacks to when a six year old me would find my sister crying to this song after a breakup, and now being able to feel the same comfort this song gave her
Damn ! It's deep .

I can see that in my little sister... I was the same when i was in her age
So you don't have to laugh on teenagers :)

This song clearly represents the dark side of falling in love , relationships.
Amazingly portrayed
For anybody listening to this, no matter what happened, it gets better.

This song makes me feel relieved, after suffering it all. Thank you tove, your music is a warm embrace
Everyone’s talking ab how depressed she is, but not the fact that she threw perfectly good French fries on the ground? Priorities people.
Someone being depressed is more important than some fries on the ground

LMAO... I see the humor in that for sure!! I was so depressed one day I was crying while eating a donut... Now that's FUNNY!!
The reality of what happens when you lose someone you can't get over. You do everything to try to get over them but end up losing yourself in the process.
That loss of ones self.. Is only a portal to true self discovery and evolution. If you can break it before it breaks you
Pain is the single most important emotion. Without pain all other emotions would be but a nothing more than a high the masses ingest like a trend untill they fizzle and forever remain unnapreciated
I see this clip for the first time in a tv comercial!😍😍😍! I Fell in love instantly 😍😍😍
It's what I'm going through rn I haven't lost him exactly I just don't know how to tell him I love him and if he doesn't love me that I would like to have a friendship like we use to have because I don't want to lose him 😭
Ive been there and still going through this
DATA-CORRUPT tyler brannon I’d argue that fear is the most important emotion
i remember this song being a vibe when i was younger and didn't understand the lyrics, now i understand, and it's still a vibe, but for different reasons 😂
F
fr
same tho
😭 I listened to this song while my brother played modern warfare 😭 the nostalgia is so intense
TRUUUUU✋😭
Searched this song for nostalgia purposes.. listened to this endlessly at a desperately tumultuous time in my life. This song captured every bit of it. Need something to numb the pain; you’re gone and I gotta stay high to keep you off my mind. Aaaahhh!!
I love how she shows the other side of partying and drugs, the real side. A side that many of us face yet we don't always want to admit to ourselves.
yea but without partying and weed distracting me i’d be doing worse things so as of now i’ll just deal with it and continue to lie to myself that i’m ok
And sometimes. That's ok.
Gosh it's so true

This version sends a completely different vibe than the remix. It hits you in the gut and makes you feel the pain.
agreed!!
Finch Racing yes! Finally someone understands 😂
man.. ever been to that point when reality is so far behind you in your depression where you play Russian Roulette standing on a bridge to see if you jump or stay? Pretty fucking awful.
oh man. you know it... D: big hug to you my friend, and anyone and everyone out there who knows this pain and sad altered reality.
EJL2004 suggest me some music like this, plz
This song is no joke. It's exhausting keeping a lifestyle that everyone thinks is a vacation. I love this song. ❤❤❤❤❤
drinking is a full time job no joke best to quit yeee ha
im not depressed or anything i just really like this song
Sure, me too.... depression it is just deep sadness, everybody get sad sometimes

Can I just take a moment to talk about how well this video was made. It’s a simple concept but it really brings the feeling and theme of the song out really well. Masterpiece
Can you please check out my music video and drop a quick comment / subscribe if you like it(:
Song hits different when your actually going through what she’s singing about.
@VirtualX Hope you're joking
Yep
Went through it a decade ago and feeling that dead inside then I would do all kinds to feel alive again. Turns out scar tissue itches always from time to time but sure toughens the skin.
deadass going through a heartbreak right now 😢
I just really like the song, mostly because this is what I was like in my early twenties and now I'm 30 getting my self on track studying to be a civil engineer (loving it BTW) and not letting myself get in this state again.
This time is for A U T H E N T I C V I E W S i remember when Tove Lo- ruled the world due to this !
i hate how she threw the fries. 😡 fries are life
+Megan Colby hahahahha ikr
+Pocky Queen's I thought I was the only one
😂
she could have shared them.
agree with you lol
The sad look in her eyes during the whole video is unbelievable it's like she's really been through all of this
most drug addictions happen over the loss of a lover
she probably did went thru it
***** I fuckin went through it myself
+Suck Start A 45 She said in an interview that she did go through it! She said she had to revisit all the pain for the bathroom scene!!
+Ryan Hoeven me too, and I don't wish it on ANYONE!
***** Ryan Hoeven wish you guys safety and healthiness
I don't think any song has ever summarised the millennial generation as well as this one does
***** Yep. Trying to party away the pain and despair and failing. That's us.
+AirWaterLandBuffalo Reactionary to the world we're given, just waiting for us to do something about it. Lol
Not really, check out 'My Generation' - The Who, 'Satisfaction' - Rolling Stones, 'A Day In The Life' - Beatles, etc. etc. you sound like you know very little about music.
GravelWorker Those have nothing to do with millennials, though I will confess that My Generation is ageless and applies to every new generation pretty much equally. Fantastic song, too.
AirWaterLandBuffalo Those songs points out the life and heart of the 60s. It defines the generation, and those songs makes up perfectly the generation of the 60s.
Missing her a lot but she’s a lot healthier now and she still look beautiful in my eyes. I’m happy for her cuh. Shi hurt like crazy but sometime you just gotta let them go. 3/22 forever in my heart bbg 😎🖤
Our generation is... just kinda depressed and songs that we used to listen hit hard when finally we all understand lyrics.
Exactly 😭
"old songs" it's from 2014 😭
Its a classic ... and I still feel like it was yesterday when the song came out and i was a 6th grader. I refuse to believe its been 7 years already
yes
What's "our generation"
this song hits different when someone's in your mind
tá bem ?
Fr tho 🥴
Everyday
I never had a girlfriend so I'm like, whatever
omg yes.
Losing someone you care about is one of the worst feelings in the world.
True :(
Try actually being with someone for 15 years and then they just "can't do it anymore" after you both fought for so much.

“Spend my days locked in a haze trying to to forget you babe, I fall back down” is the most raw line
The older i get the more the lyrics start to make sense.
Yea, same. I don't really get much sleep anymore, so the lyrics "if anything I'm restless " make too much sense to me. I've also fallen out of a friendship that lasted 4 years, now I ride my bike constantly around my nayborhood. Usually just ride my bike to a trail with some snaks and watch the stars at night, it gets cold sometimes, but I don't mind. I just think about why our friendship had to end? Sorry, songs like this makes me realize how sad I actually am...
Tove, went through Hell, over, this relationship ending. I think people relate to this song, because, most listeners have had the same experiences.
Yep. The older you get, the more it makes sense.
@@annepercivalle7324 I read your words and I felt your emotions; so many times I lived your nights, and to know someone has gone through these kind of things makes me thinking about different lives and what can happens to this world. I wish everything will be better for you, otherwise I would like to know you maybe. Good luck for your life, greetings from Italy.
Domenico, thank you for reading my comment. I'm from new zealand but now live in the United States. I'm glad to know that someone has heard me, as I haven't explained to my parents the situation yet, out of fear that they wouldn't understand. I'm also reminded of my bisexuality in this video, I've never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but I've liked both. I don't mean to ramble; I just feel like this is the only place were I can express my feelings.
Once you hear the song, you can not get it out of your head.
It is impossible, I can not.

When I was younger I didn’t realized the true meaning of this song...
Which one? Welcome to North Europe xD ?
Carlos Velasquez sane here. When I was 17 during my high school years, I’ve been always wondering what this song was truly about until 5 YEARS LATER!!! XD
Sameee
I wish I didn’t understand this song when I was younger.
RIP
Okey this song hits really hard at my age 26, damn. Idk why this song even slipped my tongue.
"Gotta stay high all my life to forget I'm missing you, ooh ohh ohh ohh" .... fr
But I don't need someone to numb the pain, that part reminds me of why I left my ex.

Can't imagine the pain of that person is facing & feeling who'd become like this coz of love for the person. You did a great job on song ma'am, it's full of feelings.
It makes you want to die. That's what it's like. Don't try and imagine it, you don't want to know.
