This one and Eiley by Too Close to Touch are up there for me. In the latter song, guy screams the lyric through tears, you can hear it. Gives me chills every time
Honestly this song is less sad than some others on this album (specifically Edward Benz and I See Everything). Just because it's not a specific true story, it's still super sad. Also because the instrumentals and vocal performance slap pretty hard on this one, which makes it much more palatable upon further listenings
Just discovered this song and band today - which really surprised me because this is a genre of music I’ve always enjoyed so I don’t know how this band slipped under my radar. What I love about the lyrics, especially at the end, is that they somehow make the shooter a sympathetic character when he asks if he can still go to heaven after dying by suicide. It’s so desperate. He wants to atone for his crime of murder but still somehow wants to think that suicide would damn his soul forever and not the killing of a kid. As a listener I didn’t want the dude to end his life. I wanted him to face justice and “make his peace in the world” for what he did. It’s just such a beautiful and sad song.
i feel like he is asking if he can be forgiven by killing himself bc he is afraid of going to hell later for killing the kid.. maybe i'm being too optimistic about people (hope you understood me bc i'm french so my english isn't perfect)
The lyrics: Another shooting on the southeast side, this a drive-by, mid-day Outside of the bus stop, by Fuller and Franklin, or near there Not far from the park About a block from where the other shooting was last month Or was it last week? Shots were fired from an SUV heading northbound, Eastown The target a rival but they didn't hit the target this time They hit a kid we think had nothing to do with it And I travel backwards through time and space And I disintegrate, become invisible I want to see it where I couldn't when it happened I want to see it all first hand this time I want to know what it felt like So I float behind police lines Reconstruct the scene in fragments of memories I want to know what his mother looked like up close I want to see her leaning over his body So I float there, transcend time I want to capture it accurately I want to know what the color of the blood was Spilling out from the tarp onto the concrete I want to write it all down so I can always remember If you could see it up close how could you ever forget? How senseless death, how precious life I want to be there when the bullet hit And the crowd poured out as the shots drowned into siren sounds Out of there houses now and over front yards All the way up to the place where the police tape ran to mark the crime scene Everybody trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening Of what was going on between the ambulance and all the cop cars Everybody gossiping "Whose kid got hit? Where'd it hit him? And who could've fired it?" Everybody wondering "How did it happen again? And is he dead? These children, our kids." Everybody wondering how far they were from where the victims lived And I visit them, their houses, inside my dream I visit them My spirit, soaring high and high up over King Park Leaves the crime scene, travels further back till far before the shooting Through their windows, to their living rooms I see them younger this time, playing games and doing homework All these marks of youth soon transformed coldly into stone For fights and stupid feuds, for ruins wrapped in gold And cruelly I recall why I have come to find a reason But there cannot be a reason, not for death, not like this, not like this Three days later they made funeral plans, the family Three days later a mother had to bury her son Not far away the shooter holed up in a hotel Near to the highway with a friend and the gun, that same gun He'd fled immediately but was identified by witnesses His picture on TV, only 20 years old They called him "Grandpa" He was older than the others by a year, maybe two And he was safe for awhile until somebody saw him there And notified the authorities who surrounded the hotel First arresting an accomplice while attempting to flee Then chasing him up the staircase to the floor where he'd stayed He closed the door hard behind him, locked himself in the room They could've kicked in the door but knew the gun was still with him One he'd already used and so they feared what he'd do I floated up through the window of a room to the West I hovered out to the hallway, tried to listen in I heard them trying to reason, get him to open the door His uncle begging and pleading, half-collapsed to the floor He preached of hope and forgiveness Said, "There is always a chance to rectify what you've taken, make your peace in the world." I thought to slip through the door, I could've entered the room I felt the burden of murder, it shook the earth to the core Felt like the world was collapsing then we heard him speak "Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself? Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself? Can I ever be forgiven 'cause I killed that kid? It was an accident I swear it wasn't meant for him! And if I turn it on me, if I even it out Can I still get in or will they send me to hell? Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?" I left the hotel behind, don't want to know how it ends
Just thinking about this song in passing is enough to totally alter my headspace. I live in Grand Rapids where these events took place and hearing someone mention MLK Park or driving past it can trigger flashbacks of the absolute sobbing mess I was the first time I heard this shit If art is meant to make you feel things, then this song is the greatest piece of art in the world for me
Listening to music like this after dealing with depression your whole life, but now being the happiest you've been is a weird feeling. To anyone that needs to hear this, it gets better, even if you think it never will. You'll have extreme downs, and be at the bottom of the barrel, but you can only build yourself up. It takes fucking years and years of trying, and honestly giving up a few times. But it'll be worth it in the end. Keep on going on, trust me :)
Truth. I have to echo this sentiment. I spent years wanting to end it but I couldn’t bear the thought of doing that to my friends and family. Then my best friend had problems with his wife and he killed himself, which simultaneously made me sadder and reinforced the idea of the pain it puts on others. If i had done it, his kids wouldn’t have anyone that was close to their dad still here to talk to, so it added an ounce of purpose to my life. I can’t say I’m super happy, at least not yet, but I’m glad i held out. Suffering is terrible, but there is something special about enduring it and overcoming it a little bit at a time. I feel like songs like this give me a controlled environment where i can let out some grief and then go on with the rest of my day, so I appreciate it.
depression isn’t something that will go away if u wait. if u dealt with it ur whole life then ur probably gonna continue having to deal. good luck to everyone else dealing and i wish u happiness where u can find it
Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of a mass shooting that left 7 dead in the city where I live, Odessa. I can't put into words the way this song makes me feel.
Bro, this song literally made me cry for the rest of the day after hearing it. It’s just so painfully moving and the fact that it is based off a real life situation is awful.
@@kitt3h I think this song was based off something that actually happened. I don’t know all the details so you can search it up if you want (TW: Mentions of murder and suicide)
This was the song finally convinced me of the brilliance of La Dispute. It might as well be poetry. There certainly aren't many lyric writers who can touch this stuff. And then the band!
I still listen to this and feel awful as if it was my own sibling, even though he is 19 and a fully functioning adult. I first listened to this 9 years ago, I still try to protect him from the world he's so oblivious to.
Honestly- this hits hard! Im gonna go listen to other songs but despite this being relevantly old its still very well made!! The fact that it tells of a tale through the eyes of the actual victim, the desperation of the murderer and uncle is very portrayed excellently. We often told about murder and things like that happening but we dont care cause it doesnt offend us maybe a “aw thats sad” but the song brings out how impactful that could be. And with the music intensifying in the background it really makes us seem like we’re reliving the whole situation and it’s absolutely amazing considering that were only listening to it we arent having any lictures or stuff its honestly very impressive!! And the lyrucs themselves are impactful.
everytime ive heard people reference how heartbreaking this song is they always talk about the outro, but i think the part that paints the saddest picture and isn’t talked about as much is the part starting at 0:52
Absolute MASTERPIECE. This still makes my heart race even after countless listens. 6:34 the cymbals here get so loud, I think louder than any part of the song and it's almost too loud that I wonder if it's intentional. It has the effect of making me clench my teeth which is exactly the kind of response I want from such an adrenaline filled build up. "Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself" is tragically breathtaking.
I love how averagely strong it starts off (I don't know how to properly describe it but it sort of seems like an opening to a fun, badass something like that, right? And then BOOM the lyrics just,,, it just hits yknow?)
Greek lyrics Ενας άλλος πυροβολισμός στη νοτιοανατολική πλευρά Αυτό είναι ένα drive-by, στα μέσα της ημέρας Έξω από τη στάση του λεωφορείου, από τους Fuller και Franklin Ή κοντά εκεί, όχι μακριά από το πάρκο Περίπου ένα μπλοκ από το σημείο όπου έγινε η άλλη λήψη τον περασμένο μήνα Ή ήταν την περασμένη εβδομάδα; Πυροβολήθηκαν πυροβολισμοί από ένα SUV που κατευθυνόταν βόρεια, Eastown Ο στόχος ήταν αντίπαλος αλλά δεν χτύπησε τον στόχο αυτή τη φορά Χτύπησαν ένα παιδί που πιστεύουμε ότι δεν είχε καμία σχέση με αυτό Και ταξιδεύω προς τα πίσω μέσω του χρόνου και του χώρου και Καταστρέφω, γίνονται αόρατα Θέλω να το δω εκεί που δεν μπορούσα όταν συνέβη Θέλω να τα δω όλα από πρώτο χέρι αυτή τη φορά Θέλω να μάθω πώς ήταν Έτσι επιπλέω πίσω από τις αστυνομικές γραμμές Αναδημιουργήστε τη σκηνή σε θραύσματα αναμνήσεων Θέλω να μάθω πώς ήταν η μητέρα του από κοντά Θέλω να την δω να κλίνει πάνω από το σώμα του Έτσι επιπλέω εκεί, υπερβαίνω το χρόνο Θέλω να το καταγράψω με ακρίβεια Θέλω να μάθω ποιο ήταν το χρώμα του αίματος Διαρροή από το μουσαμά στο σκυρόδεμα Θέλω να τα γράψω όλα για να θυμάμαι πάντα Αν μπορούσατε να το δείτε από κοντά, πώς θα μπορούσατε να το ξεχάσετε; Πόσο ανόητο θάνατο, πόσο πολύτιμη ζωή Θέλω να είμαι εκεί όταν χτυπήθηκε η σφαίρα Και το πλήθος χύθηκε καθώς οι πυροβολισμοί βυθίστηκαν σε σειρήνες Από τα σπίτια τους τώρα και πάνω από τις μπροστινές αυλές Μέχρι το σημείο όπου η αστυνομική ταινία έτρεξε για να σηματοδοτήσει τη σκηνή του εγκλήματος Όλοι προσπαθούν να ρίξουν μια ματιά σε αυτό που συνέβαινε Από ό, τι συνέβαινε μεταξύ του ασθενοφόρου και όλων των αυτοκινήτων αστυνομικών Όλοι κουτσομπολεύουν, "Ποιο παιδί χτυπήθηκε; Πού τον χτύπησε; Και ποιος θα μπορούσε να το πυροβολήσει;" Όλοι αναρωτιούνται, "Πώς συνέβη ξανά; Και είναι νεκρός; Αυτά τα παιδιά. Τα παιδιά μας" Όλοι αναρωτιούνται πόσο μακριά ήταν από όπου ζουν τα θύματα Και τους επισκέπτομαι, τα σπίτια τους Μέσα στο όνειρό μου τα επισκέπτομαι Το πνεύμα μου, ανεβαίνει ψηλά πάνω από το King Park Φεύγει από τη σκηνή του εγκλήματος, ταξιδεύει πιο πίσω Μέχρι πολύ πριν τα γυρίσματα Μέσα από τα παράθυρά τους Στα σαλόνια τους Τους βλέπω νεότερους αυτή τη φορά, παίζοντας παιχνίδια και κάνοντας δουλειές στο σπίτι Όλα αυτά τα σημάδια της νεολαίας σύντομα μετατράπηκαν κρύα σε πέτρα Για μάχες και ηλίθιες διαμάχες Για ερείπια τυλιγμένα σε χρυσό Και σκληρά θυμάμαι γιατί ήρθα να βρω έναν λόγο Αλλά δεν μπορεί να υπάρχει λόγος, όχι για θάνατο Όχι έτσι, όχι έτσι Τρεις μέρες αργότερα έκαναν σχέδια κηδείας, την οικογένεια Τρεις μέρες αργότερα μια μητέρα έπρεπε να θάψει τον γιο της Όχι πολύ μακριά ο σκοπευτής έκρυψε σε ένα ξενοδοχείο Κοντά στον αυτοκινητόδρομο με έναν φίλο και το όπλο Το ίδιο όπλο Έφυγε αμέσως αλλά ταυτοποιήθηκε από μάρτυρες Η φωτογραφία του στην τηλεόραση, μόλις 20 ετών Τον ονόμασαν «παππού» Ήταν μεγαλύτερος από τους άλλους ένα χρόνο Ίσως δύο Και ήταν ασφαλής για λίγο έως ότου κάποιος τον είδε εκεί Και ενημέρωσε τις αρχές Ποιος περιβάλλει το ξενοδοχείο, πρώτα συνέλαβε έναν συνεργό του ενώ προσπάθησε να φύγει Τότε τον κυνηγούσε μέχρι τη σκάλα στο πάτωμα όπου έμεινε Έκλεισε την πόρτα σκληρά πίσω του Κλειδώθηκε στον χώρο Θα μπορούσαν να κλωτσήσουν στην πόρτα Αλλά ήξερε ότι το όπλο ήταν ακόμα μαζί του Ένα που είχε ήδη χρησιμοποιήσει και έτσι φοβόταν τι θα έκανε Πήγα πάνω από το παράθυρο ενός δωματίου προς τα δυτικά Αιωρήθηκα στο διάδρομο, προσπάθησα να ακούσω Τους άκουσα να προσπαθούν να λογοδοτήσουν, να τον ζητήσω να ανοίξει την πόρτα Ο θείος του ικετεύτηκε και παρακαλούσε, κατέρρευσε μισά στο πάτωμα Κήρυξε ελπίδα και συγχώρεση Είπε, "Υπάρχει πάντα η ευκαιρία να διορθώσουμε αυτό που έχετε πάρει Κάντε την ειρήνη σας στον κόσμο " Σκέφτηκα να περάσω από την πόρτα, θα μπορούσα να μπήκα στο δωμάτιο Ένιωσα το βάρος της δολοφονίας, κούνησε τη γη στον πυρήνα Ένιωσα ότι ο κόσμος κατέρρευσε Τότε τον ακούσαμε να μιλά Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ; Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ; Μπορώ ποτέ να με συγχωρήσει γιατί σκότωσα αυτό το παιδί; Ήταν ένα ατύχημα που ορκίζομαι ότι δεν προοριζόταν για αυτόν! Και αν το ενεργοποιήσω Αν το έκανα ακόμη Μπορώ ακόμα να μπω ή θα με στείλουν στην κόλαση; Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ; " Άφησα το ξενοδοχείο πίσω Δεν θέλω να μάθω πώς τελειώνει
This song came up on my Spotify recommendation while I was playing fucking pony town, I don’t like I’ve ever stood so still and now I can’t stop listening to it over and over again. I just keep thinking what if this happened to someone I knew
Yesterday a school shooting happenned in Prague, as of now 15 people are dead and some are still missing. Nothing like this has ever happenned in our country and everyone is in shock. I found this song today, I can't even wrap my head around what must have the people on the scene feel. Or their families and friends. I don't understand anything, it's insane. The shooter killed himself so he will not face any consequences for ruining the lives of so many people. Pathetic loser.
Guys I need your help!! I have a song in my head that I listened to so long ago I forgot the lyrics and the name and I need your help cause the end of this song reminds me so much of it! Basically the end of the song is about a boyfriend finding out that his girlfriends been cheating on him and he finds out that they’re meeting up at a hotel and when he gets there he finds the room. When he gets in he finds the guy and shoots him and then his girlfriends locked in the bathroom and crying and when he talks her out he kills her then kills himself after. If you know please let me know!
I think this is one of the most painful pieces of music I've ever heard
This one and Eiley by Too Close to Touch are up there for me. In the latter song, guy screams the lyric through tears, you can hear it. Gives me chills every time
Honestly this song is less sad than some others on this album (specifically Edward Benz and I See Everything). Just because it's not a specific true story, it's still super sad.
Also because the instrumentals and vocal performance slap pretty hard on this one, which makes it much more palatable upon further listenings
This and pretty much any song made by korn or teen suicide, and anything from a grunge band lol
"I see everything" kills it all.
Listen to sleep token
Just discovered this song and band today - which really surprised me because this is a genre of music I’ve always enjoyed so I don’t know how this band slipped under my radar. What I love about the lyrics, especially at the end, is that they somehow make the shooter a sympathetic character when he asks if he can still go to heaven after dying by suicide. It’s so desperate. He wants to atone for his crime of murder but still somehow wants to think that suicide would damn his soul forever and not the killing of a kid. As a listener I didn’t want the dude to end his life. I wanted him to face justice and “make his peace in the world” for what he did. It’s just such a beautiful and sad song.
i feel like he is asking if he can be forgiven by killing himself bc he is afraid of going to hell later for killing the kid.. maybe i'm being too optimistic about people (hope you understood me bc i'm french so my english isn't perfect)
Shut up nerd
@@jule6369 Yeah, i agree. He sings "If i even it out" at 6:36.
This song... leaves me shaking, dude. It's so fucking powerful.
In the back of a car, a chaotic stage of life, on the way to who-knows-where, and this song coming on still stays with me -what a masterpiece
sorry to hear that's something you had to go though. Hope things are better, if not. Praying for progress for you.
Still so relevant...
This is so heavy and for WHAT
I've listened to this song probably hundreds of times by now, and still get chills every time.
The lyrics:
Another shooting on the southeast side, this a drive-by, mid-day
Outside of the bus stop, by Fuller and Franklin, or near there
Not far from the park
About a block from where the other shooting was last month
Or was it last week?
Shots were fired from an SUV heading northbound, Eastown
The target a rival but they didn't hit the target this time
They hit a kid we think had nothing to do with it
And I travel backwards through time and space
And I disintegrate, become invisible
I want to see it where I couldn't when it happened
I want to see it all first hand this time
I want to know what it felt like
So I float behind police lines
Reconstruct the scene in fragments of memories
I want to know what his mother looked like up close
I want to see her leaning over his body
So I float there, transcend time
I want to capture it accurately
I want to know what the color of the blood was
Spilling out from the tarp onto the concrete
I want to write it all down so I can always remember
If you could see it up close how could you ever forget?
How senseless death, how precious life
I want to be there when the bullet hit
And the crowd poured out as the shots drowned into siren sounds
Out of there houses now and over front yards
All the way up to the place where the police tape ran to mark the crime scene
Everybody trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening
Of what was going on between the ambulance and all the cop cars
Everybody gossiping
"Whose kid got hit? Where'd it hit him? And who could've fired it?"
Everybody wondering
"How did it happen again? And is he dead? These children, our kids."
Everybody wondering how far they were from where the victims lived
And I visit them, their houses, inside my dream I visit them
My spirit, soaring high and high up over King Park
Leaves the crime scene, travels further back till far before the shooting
Through their windows, to their living rooms
I see them younger this time, playing games and doing homework
All these marks of youth soon transformed coldly into stone
For fights and stupid feuds, for ruins wrapped in gold
And cruelly I recall why I have come to find a reason
But there cannot be a reason, not for death, not like this, not like this
Three days later they made funeral plans, the family
Three days later a mother had to bury her son
Not far away the shooter holed up in a hotel
Near to the highway with a friend and the gun, that same gun
He'd fled immediately but was identified by witnesses
His picture on TV, only 20 years old
They called him "Grandpa"
He was older than the others by a year, maybe two
And he was safe for awhile until somebody saw him there
And notified the authorities who surrounded the hotel
First arresting an accomplice while attempting to flee
Then chasing him up the staircase to the floor where he'd stayed
He closed the door hard behind him, locked himself in the room
They could've kicked in the door but knew the gun was still with him
One he'd already used and so they feared what he'd do
I floated up through the window of a room to the West
I hovered out to the hallway, tried to listen in
I heard them trying to reason, get him to open the door
His uncle begging and pleading, half-collapsed to the floor
He preached of hope and forgiveness
Said, "There is always a chance to rectify what you've taken, make your peace in the world."
I thought to slip through the door, I could've entered the room
I felt the burden of murder, it shook the earth to the core
Felt like the world was collapsing then we heard him speak
"Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?
Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?
Can I ever be forgiven 'cause I killed that kid?
It was an accident I swear it wasn't meant for him!
And if I turn it on me, if I even it out
Can I still get in or will they send me to hell?
Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?"
I left the hotel behind, don't want to know how it ends
Just thinking about this song in passing is enough to totally alter my headspace. I live in Grand Rapids where these events took place and hearing someone mention MLK Park or driving past it can trigger flashbacks of the absolute sobbing mess I was the first time I heard this shit
If art is meant to make you feel things, then this song is the greatest piece of art in the world for me

Bro hearing the last lines live fucking shook me to my core forever i still get chills
Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of a mass shooting that left 7 dead in the city where I live, Odessa.
I can't put into words the way this song makes me feel.
This song makes me cry every single time I listen to it without fail
same everything about it be having me shaking crying man
holy shit this song always hits
This song came out my freshman year, and I’m so happy after so long it is getting the attention it deserves.
Bro, this song literally made me cry for the rest of the day after hearing it. It’s just so painfully moving and the fact that it is based off a real life situation is awful.
What real life situation?

This song is perfect during the ww3
i like the way this song is layed out if that makes since. like he saw it all as an astral projection
The singer portrays such strong emotion in all their music

This song just hits different. It’s so sad but so good. Great job to the writer of the song.
Discovered this band not to long ago. I absolutely love them!
Greek lyrics
Ενας άλλος πυροβολισμός στη νοτιοανατολική πλευρά
Αυτό είναι ένα drive-by, στα μέσα της ημέρας
Έξω από τη στάση του λεωφορείου, από τους Fuller και Franklin
Ή κοντά εκεί, όχι μακριά από το πάρκο
Περίπου ένα μπλοκ από το σημείο όπου έγινε η άλλη λήψη τον περασμένο μήνα
Ή ήταν την περασμένη εβδομάδα;
Πυροβολήθηκαν πυροβολισμοί από ένα SUV που κατευθυνόταν βόρεια, Eastown
Ο στόχος ήταν αντίπαλος αλλά δεν χτύπησε τον στόχο αυτή τη φορά
Χτύπησαν ένα παιδί που πιστεύουμε ότι δεν είχε καμία σχέση με αυτό
Και ταξιδεύω προς τα πίσω μέσω του χρόνου και του χώρου και
Καταστρέφω, γίνονται αόρατα
Θέλω να το δω εκεί που δεν μπορούσα όταν συνέβη
Θέλω να τα δω όλα από πρώτο χέρι αυτή τη φορά
Θέλω να μάθω πώς ήταν
Έτσι επιπλέω πίσω από τις αστυνομικές γραμμές
Αναδημιουργήστε τη σκηνή σε θραύσματα αναμνήσεων
Θέλω να μάθω πώς ήταν η μητέρα του από κοντά
Θέλω να την δω να κλίνει πάνω από το σώμα του
Έτσι επιπλέω εκεί, υπερβαίνω το χρόνο
Θέλω να το καταγράψω με ακρίβεια
Θέλω να μάθω ποιο ήταν το χρώμα του αίματος
Διαρροή από το μουσαμά στο σκυρόδεμα
Θέλω να τα γράψω όλα για να θυμάμαι πάντα
Αν μπορούσατε να το δείτε από κοντά, πώς θα μπορούσατε να το ξεχάσετε;
Πόσο ανόητο θάνατο, πόσο πολύτιμη ζωή
Θέλω να είμαι εκεί όταν χτυπήθηκε η σφαίρα
Και το πλήθος χύθηκε καθώς οι πυροβολισμοί βυθίστηκαν σε σειρήνες
Από τα σπίτια τους τώρα και πάνω από τις μπροστινές αυλές
Μέχρι το σημείο όπου η αστυνομική ταινία έτρεξε για να σηματοδοτήσει τη σκηνή του εγκλήματος
Όλοι προσπαθούν να ρίξουν μια ματιά σε αυτό που συνέβαινε
Από ό, τι συνέβαινε μεταξύ του ασθενοφόρου και όλων των αυτοκινήτων αστυνομικών
Όλοι κουτσομπολεύουν, "Ποιο παιδί χτυπήθηκε; Πού τον χτύπησε; Και ποιος θα μπορούσε να το πυροβολήσει;"
Όλοι αναρωτιούνται, "Πώς συνέβη ξανά; Και είναι νεκρός; Αυτά τα παιδιά. Τα παιδιά μας"
Όλοι αναρωτιούνται πόσο μακριά ήταν από όπου ζουν τα θύματα
Και τους επισκέπτομαι, τα σπίτια τους
Μέσα στο όνειρό μου τα επισκέπτομαι
Το πνεύμα μου, ανεβαίνει ψηλά πάνω από το King Park
Φεύγει από τη σκηνή του εγκλήματος, ταξιδεύει πιο πίσω
Μέχρι πολύ πριν τα γυρίσματα
Μέσα από τα παράθυρά τους
Στα σαλόνια τους
Τους βλέπω νεότερους αυτή τη φορά, παίζοντας παιχνίδια και κάνοντας δουλειές στο σπίτι
Όλα αυτά τα σημάδια της νεολαίας σύντομα μετατράπηκαν κρύα σε πέτρα
Για μάχες και ηλίθιες διαμάχες
Για ερείπια τυλιγμένα σε χρυσό
Και σκληρά θυμάμαι γιατί ήρθα να βρω έναν λόγο
Αλλά δεν μπορεί να υπάρχει λόγος, όχι για θάνατο
Όχι έτσι, όχι έτσι
Τρεις μέρες αργότερα έκαναν σχέδια κηδείας, την οικογένεια
Τρεις μέρες αργότερα μια μητέρα έπρεπε να θάψει τον γιο της
Όχι πολύ μακριά ο σκοπευτής έκρυψε σε ένα ξενοδοχείο
Κοντά στον αυτοκινητόδρομο με έναν φίλο και το όπλο
Το ίδιο όπλο
Έφυγε αμέσως αλλά ταυτοποιήθηκε από μάρτυρες
Η φωτογραφία του στην τηλεόραση, μόλις 20 ετών
Τον ονόμασαν «παππού»
Ήταν μεγαλύτερος από τους άλλους ένα χρόνο
Ίσως δύο
Και ήταν ασφαλής για λίγο έως ότου κάποιος τον είδε εκεί
Και ενημέρωσε τις αρχές
Ποιος περιβάλλει το ξενοδοχείο, πρώτα συνέλαβε έναν συνεργό του ενώ προσπάθησε να φύγει
Τότε τον κυνηγούσε μέχρι τη σκάλα στο πάτωμα όπου έμεινε
Έκλεισε την πόρτα σκληρά πίσω του
Κλειδώθηκε στον χώρο
Θα μπορούσαν να κλωτσήσουν στην πόρτα
Αλλά ήξερε ότι το όπλο ήταν ακόμα μαζί του
Ένα που είχε ήδη χρησιμοποιήσει και έτσι φοβόταν τι θα έκανε
Πήγα πάνω από το παράθυρο ενός δωματίου προς τα δυτικά
Αιωρήθηκα στο διάδρομο, προσπάθησα να ακούσω
Τους άκουσα να προσπαθούν να λογοδοτήσουν, να τον ζητήσω να ανοίξει την πόρτα
Ο θείος του ικετεύτηκε και παρακαλούσε, κατέρρευσε μισά στο πάτωμα
Κήρυξε ελπίδα και συγχώρεση
Είπε, "Υπάρχει πάντα η ευκαιρία να διορθώσουμε αυτό που έχετε πάρει
Κάντε την ειρήνη σας στον κόσμο "
Σκέφτηκα να περάσω από την πόρτα, θα μπορούσα να μπήκα στο δωμάτιο
Ένιωσα το βάρος της δολοφονίας, κούνησε τη γη στον πυρήνα
Ένιωσα ότι ο κόσμος κατέρρευσε
Τότε τον ακούσαμε να μιλά
Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ;
Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ;
Μπορώ ποτέ να με συγχωρήσει γιατί σκότωσα αυτό το παιδί;
Ήταν ένα ατύχημα που ορκίζομαι ότι δεν προοριζόταν για αυτόν!
Και αν το ενεργοποιήσω
Αν το έκανα ακόμη
Μπορώ ακόμα να μπω ή θα με στείλουν στην κόλαση;
Μπορώ να μπω στον παράδεισο αν σκοτωθώ; "
Άφησα το ξενοδοχείο πίσω
Δεν θέλω να μάθω πώς τελειώνει
I commend thee
This song came up on my Spotify recommendation while I was playing fucking pony town, I don’t like I’ve ever stood so still and now I can’t stop listening to it over and over again. I just keep thinking what if this happened to someone I knew
I wasn't there when the bullet hit, but I sure as hell felt it.
Piercing through my shell.
I want this to be played at my funeral
You want a song about an accidental gang shooting to be played at your funeral?
Uhhh. What an awkward 7 minutes that will be...
6:16
this is a song that has to be listened to with both earphones in
I remember how I would listen to this song almost daily, it feels just as heavy as when I first heard it
Já se passaram 3 anos e eu sempre volto nessa música
This song breaks me every time I return to it.
Can't wait to hear this on the when we were young festival so i can lose my shit mosh and end up dead in loudwire so they can write a song about me
I'll never get over this
Ahaha i really love this song.
Yesterday a school shooting happenned in Prague, as of now 15 people are dead and some are still missing. Nothing like this has ever happenned in our country and everyone is in shock. I found this song today, I can't even wrap my head around what must have the people on the scene feel. Or their families and friends. I don't understand anything, it's insane. The shooter killed himself so he will not face any consequences for ruining the lives of so many people. Pathetic loser.
I'm completely speechless
I like da song
I don't know.
Same lqnwlwbwb
Still listening in 2021???

John Wilkes Booth didn’t you kill Lincoln 😳😳😳
Hutch Wasserman Yes!
Not sure if anyone thinks this but what if the singer is the victim and he's seeing it all unfold
Guys I need your help!! I have a song in my head that I listened to so long ago I forgot the lyrics and the name and I need your help cause the end of this song reminds me so much of it! Basically the end of the song is about a boyfriend finding out that his girlfriends been cheating on him and he finds out that they’re meeting up at a hotel and when he gets there he finds the room. When he gets in he finds the guy and shoots him and then his girlfriends locked in the bathroom and crying and when he talks her out he kills her then kills himself after. If you know please let me know!

Good thing this song didn't get really popular on there
damn... i-🙂
To me this.song.is about empathy, putting yourself in anothers shoes and understanding what they are going through
The line « the last shooting was last month (or was it last week) » is just- so well thought
