Crawl out of the hole you're in,
Who you are is not who you've been
Now's the time to sink or swim,
Will you fight the tide or get lost within?
And I know you're feeling low,
Feel like you've lost control
But the darkness that you know,
It's not your home and you're not alone
And all you've wanted
Was just so much more
This world has taking a hold,
Don't let them get your soul
The silence, you feel it,
Cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold,
Don't let them get your soul
Iron bars are a hell to break,
Tell me now, do you know what's at stake?
Your whole life in a blank stare haze,
You walk around like the end of days
And I know you're feeling low,
Feel like you've lost control,
But the darkness that you know,
It's not your home and you're not alone
And all you've wanted
Was just so much more
This world has taking a hold,
Don't let them get your soul
The silence, you feel it,
Cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold,
Don't let them get your soul,
I'm coming at you,
Can you hear me?
They can't break you down,
Let you hit the ground
I promise you it won't be long
You're feeling overwhelmed here,
Drowned by the pain that I fear
The sun up with the dawn
All you've wanted
Was just so much more
This world has taking a hold,
Don't let them get your soul
The silence, you feel it,
Cold as a winter storm
This world has taken a hold,
Don't let them get your soul,
Get your soul
Is it safe to say that this song explains A LOT of how I'm feeling?
Edit: I think its this part i connect to most;
"And I know you're feeling low,
Feel like you've lost control
But the darkness that you know,
It's not your home and you're not alone"
So I just found this song. I listened to it on full blast in an empty parking lot.
I was there to commit suicide and I thought I’d listen to music before I went.
But- this played and I felt a sense like I could finally take a breath.
Music is a form of therapy and no one can change my mind.
This song makes me think of when I was fighting my psychosis. It got so bad that I heard my loved ones voices telling me to end it ( it was all in my head of course). I was able to fight my way out, but I was my personal hell. Nothing but pure terror even in my sleep.
I loved this song before but after work today, I have gained a new level of respect for it. One of my co-workers was former military, quiet guy, just wrenches and keeps to himself usually. He also has a bit of a limp. He asked me who this band was so I told him. He then told me how much it reminded him of when he was in Baghdad. He was on gunner duty on an MRAP one day and they hit an anti-tank mine. 3 to be exact that were stacked which really adds devastation. Said the mines opened the vehicle like a can opener and the only reason he survived was because the explosion launched him out and away from the vehicle. He broke his pelvis, leg, collar bone and lost most of his hearing in his left ear, still managed to pull his guys out of the MRAP afterwords, then said he passed out and woke up in a hospital. No one else in his squad survived, just him. Im not speechless very often but that was the first time I didn't know what to say so I just hugged him and patted him on the shoulder.
