You’re a good egg. You care about lyrics and break them down with your expertise/background. More importantly you care for and help others. I’m subscribing. Thanks for reacting to this track too btw!
I so I love your intro to this. About making comments makes me feel like I have a place to come to now !!! Being a metal head for yrs. and being is comfortable!! Thank you @Heartsupport
All good music, like this, is poetry written about deep life events. The combination of screaming and cleans represents the struggle of being at peace with something you're so angry about. Notice how the last screaming part is fading out. And that's just touching on the lyrics and not the waves the instruments represent. I think most people that listen to this understand this, even when it's a subconscious thought. On a more 5th grade level: Screaming in music isn't just the "sound of it." People that realize that are people who are self-aware, secure and are daring enough to explore.
I came across Spiritbox a few months ago and I really like what they do. The bands that got me into Metal for good are Nightwish and Within Temptation. It's been 19 years since I heard "Nemo" and "Ice Queen" for the first time. It was love at first hearing. Listening to Metal has always made me feel better in hard times. In recent years, my health has deteriorated due to excessive stress. The doctor referred me to a psychologist. I'm taking small steps I hope. Recently I was reminded of a song: Within Temptation ft. Piotr Rogucki - "Whole World is Watching" : "... You build your walls then break them away 'Cause that is what it takes You saved yourself, you found who you are That never goes away And I know you wish for more And I know you try And I hope you realize You know the time is right .... Your sacrifice goes through your mind But nothing is wasted, you've made it now You rise again, breaking out Each step that you've taken, you've paid the price The whole world is watching The whole world is watching you when you rise" Sorry for my English. Greetings from Poland
Love your RAWK face! These songs full of painful honesty create much needed catharsis. My mom asked me a couple months ago why i enjoy such "angry" music. My answer was that it validates my feelings knowing that other people have the same struggles as me. (This is me being 47 and having listened to metal for over 30 years now. She's never been allowed to experience or show her emotions.) I'm also enjoying introducing this music to my mental health workers so it can help them with other patients who like hard music.
I've been replaying this song. First of all I love your reaction, felt like I was listening to it for the first time again but with a friend. And second, I started crying as soon as you went over the first line "I feel alone in my body". Thank you for breaking this down!
From Mamadien: Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Taylor nails it on this song doesn't she? It truly does resonate when she talks about the lyrics this way. It sounds like you felt that too. It's a great song with more meaning now. Thank you again for sharing.
From NateTriesAgain: Yeah - there's something so resonant about this song, and to feel like in particular there's something that strikes a chord with "feeling alone in my body" - 100%. It's such an interesting experience feeling like your existence and your experience of it are totally disconnected - like externally you could experience interaction or connection with others, but it's like there's this gap that your heart or mind can't cross to actually feel it, like there's a wall that you can hear relationship going on on the outside of it, but it's all muffled on the inside - like you get a sense that something is happening, but you're still completely alone behind the stone. It's so hard because the things that feel like they make sense to others or easy advice that others give - "just go and make friends" or "get out of the house" or things like that - it doesn't solve the deep sense of loneliness inside. Because of that it feels unsolvable, hopeless. And that's such a deep place of pain and despair to feel.
From Micro: There's definitely something that can hit deeply and strike a chord when it's about this feeling of being alone in our body. It's this acute realization how isolated you can be from others, even when you are sharing the same space, even when you're surrounded by familiar and caring faces. There's the "outside" world, and there's everything that's happening within... and for so many of us, what's going on internally can feel so heavy, so hard to express and put into words, so hard to *communicate* about. And when you remove communication, you feel even more left alone with your own struggles. Many times in my life, but especially during times of high vulnerability, I've felt like going back to this strong separation between others and myself. As if I was stuck in a different room, seeing everything taking place around me, but being completely muted - or at the opposite feeling like it would be impossible to be heard. It's like navigating *being unnoticed* over and over when everything inside of you is screaming for connection. And goodness it's hard to feel unseen when we are hurting. I hope that crying about this has been a good outlet for you and brought you some relief, even temporarily. Although unexpectedly relating to what is said in these videos can feel like a slap on the face at times, it's also a healthy indicator of pains and wounds that deserve our attention. With this door that has been seemingly opened for you, there is potential to explore something difficult but worthy, and potentially feel like reconnecting with yourself and the world around you over time. I wish you a lot of peace moving forward. You matter, friend.
I don't usually do this, recommending another band for a reaction, but right now it's... perfect for you. JINJER - Wallflower (Official Video) | Napalm Records. lovely greetings from germany and from a german musician
I had the same stank face first time I heard her scream.. If you get the chance, see her live... she can get REAL deep screams live.. it's actually incredible!
the lyrics are wrong in this song. It isn't love is jaded, rather it is blood is jaded and it changes everything about this song. here are the actual lyrics from Courtney LaPlante. Lyrics: I feel alone in my body I feel a silence underneath In these valleys of blood In these rivers of rust Shoulder all the blame again Mirror locked until the end It was violent and rough I was never enough But what if I was stable enough to wind me down the road Like a remora swims? But what if I was inside a thousand lives to give my ghost? It’s never enough It’s never enough And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated Blood is jaded I’ve never found a way to be honest All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded Blood is jaded In my dreams all I see is a crimson key Tethered by a falling string Meant to turn in the lock for me I can’t leave so I justify Interloper of confidence Under pressure of influence Not a curse that I caused Never to rot But what if I was? But what if I was? It’s never enough It’s never enough And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated Blood is jaded I’ve never found a way to be honest All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded Blood is jaded I know where I want to go But you know that it’s too close And you know that it’s too late this time And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to Fall into a dream with my honour I’ve never found a way to be honest All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded Blood is jaded And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated Blood is jaded I’ve never found a way to be honest All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded Love is jaded What if I was?
I was trying to better understand this message and why it resonated so much with me; I've recently felt increasingly hopeless and trying to be aware of self built blind spots help. I appreciate your expertise and perspective.
From eagertuna0: Thank you for sharing this with us. Hopelessness is incredibly hard and I feel for you in your struggles to push through these feelings. With that said I'm so glad to hear that this was helpful for you and hope this awareness continues helping into the future. If you'd ever like to share more about how you're feeling and/or those hopeless feelings, we're here for you on the HeartSupport forum (forum.heartsupport.com/) and would love to hear more. Thank you, once more, for sharing.
From bunfart90: I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing hopelessness. It can feel really hard to experience things or develop certain attitudes about ourselves that can shape our outlook for the future. It's good that it sounds like you have some self awareness about certain blind spots you may have. I'm glad to hear that this video could help you, and thank you for sharing.
From EvilGenius: Hey friend I'm really touched that you value our expertise and perspective in your journey of self-awareness and personal growth. Remember, you're not alone in facing these challenges, and there's always room for positive change. Here are a couple of inspirational quotes that might resonate with you: 1. "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs 2. "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein Your willingness to acknowledge and address your blind spots is a courageous step towards a brighter future. Keep that hope alive, and we're here to support you every step of the way! Hopefully this is somewhat reassuring!
From Micro: Yes, it makes such a big difference to start realizing that our internal world can be subjected to narratives that we create about ourselves, about our future, about the world around us... or others that we have simply internalized because of hurt and pain. It is a type of awareness that opens the door to so many new and different opportunities. A bit scary at first as it can feel like you would have been working against yourself -- but through all the self-built blind spots, there is often a high need for us to care for ourselves, and practice developing a kind outlook on who we are or the situation we're in. It makes such a big difference when we take the time to look within and practice distinguishing what *serves* or from what is simply sabotaging us. For so long I've personally *only* relied on painful narratives - and still do at times -, but it's been life-changing to lean towards a path where I allow myself to be my very first ally in life. It's a strange dynamic, and it feels super uncomfortable at times! But it's so worth it. Excited for you as lean into this practice of self-awareness, and hoping for you to embrace the new spaces of growth that it will enable for you. Hopelessness can be part of our experiences and makes us profoundly human. But it does not need to take over our life and our personal choices. In between, it is possible to forge your path. You got this, friend. I believe in you.
Would love to see you react to the band AVATAR and their song Napalm (Live from Ages). They are from Gothenburg, Sweden. They just hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rock Airplay, and got a fossil named after them!
Is there a way to specifically request you as a therapist? I went through BetterHelp and enjoyed my sessions, but feel like you’re more in line with what I’m going through
Man this song has been stuck in my head for days
I'm ready to here this played at blue ridge next week
hopefully you didn’t experience the hell that i heard it was
Dude her happiness is so fucking infectious. I found this channel like 2 hours ago and my gf is asking me to come to bed. Cant. More videos needed.
As a therapist you might love their song Constance and also Blessed be, those are fire ! :)
I keep asking for Hurt You
I can’t believe I never found this band before. The first Canadian metal core group with a phenomenal lead singer.
Check out iwrestledabearconce or unicron...her old bands
This song has been stuck in my head a lot lately, but then again, so have I.
Daily play for me still
You’re a good egg.

'Cause that is what it takes

That never goes away
And I know you wish for more
And I know you try
And I hope you realize
You know the time is right
....
Your sacrifice goes through your mind
But nothing is wasted, you've made it now
You rise again, breaking out
Each step that you've taken, you've paid the price
The whole world is watching
The whole world is watching you when you rise"

I saw a comment recently about metal music that was so spot on. Metal music doesn't scream at you, it screams for you!
Your reaction make me smile!!!!! Great reaction
This is such a true statement, every one of her reactions puts a smile on my face too. So enthusiastic and really feels the music!
Appalling this didn't win the Grammy.
Grammy suck but absolutely
You definitely need to check out Too Close/Too Late. Definitely gives me all the feels
That was my song while in inpatient...such a banger
When I was first told I was enough I started sobbing.
Uh huh.
Thanks for the video. Spiritbox is a best band of the planet.
Please make the song "constance".
They get me through this shtty life daily. I feel as of Courtney went through a lot of the same a me 😢
Thanks for this
been stuck in my head for days
Your content makes me happy. Thanks for your expertise and entertainment!!!

Spiritbox taking catchy to the next level
Only a minute into the video and I've already subscribed. Love what you're doing.
I’m an LMHC metalhead too and I love your reactions and psychoeducation afterwards with the lyrical breakdowns great fucking job! 🤘🏼
I don't usually do this, recommending another band for a reaction, but right now it's... perfect for you.

lovely greetings from germany and from a german musician
I had the same stank face first time I heard her scream.. If you get the chance, see her live... she can get REAL deep screams live.. it's actually incredible!
This song deserved grammy god dammit. 😢 It is so good.
Grammys suck but it 1000000% was the best. SB is otherworldly, other than tool they are my absolute all time favorite ❤
the lyrics are wrong in this song. It isn't love is jaded, rather it is blood is jaded and it changes everything about this song.
here are the actual lyrics from Courtney LaPlante.
Lyrics:
I feel alone in my body
I feel a silence underneath
In these valleys of blood
In these rivers of rust
Shoulder all the blame again
Mirror locked until the end
It was violent and rough
I was never enough
But what if I was stable enough to wind me down the road
Like a remora swims?
But what if I was inside a thousand lives to give my ghost?
It’s never enough
It’s never enough
And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I’ve never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
In my dreams all I see is a crimson key
Tethered by a falling string
Meant to turn in the lock for me
I can’t leave so I justify
Interloper of confidence
Under pressure of influence
Not a curse that I caused
Never to rot
But what if I was?
But what if I was?
It’s never enough
It’s never enough
And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I’ve never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
I know where I want to go
But you know that it’s too close
And you know that it’s too late this time
And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to
Fall into a dream with my honour
I’ve never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
And I’ve always been ashamed that I want to
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I’ve never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Love is jaded
What if I was?
This song is hands down a Fkn 10!!

I googled her and found her website but she is out of network for me😢
hello!! nice reaction!! can you do war of being from tesseract? i will be a good excercise for self acceptance!! cheers
If you would like to react to something you might not have heard of before, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with their song Gods & Gold
