Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Last Resort by Papa Roach to help individuals understand the mindset of suicidal people as well as encourage those with suicidal thoughts to take one last try toward healing by reaching out for support. Suicidal thoughts tell us that there are no other options for us, but the truth is if you reach out you might find new possibilities.

I stumbled upon your videos two days ago, and I really like these reactions to metal songs, it made me think about changing stuff in my life… so a big Thank You! from here. I would really like if you would react to some Pantera. They are my favorite band, and the pioneers of groove metal which is commonly about personal struggles. Some songs from Pantera (that I can somewhat relate to): Cemetery Gates, I’m Broken, The Sleep, Revolution is my name.

Hey! Great reaction! You should also check out FIR’s cover of this- probably not so much point doing another reaction for what is effectively the same song, but its interesting to hear a completely different style on the same lyrics!

Had a feeling youd get around to this one lol
Papa Roach is my favorite band, so heres the story behind last resort
Jacoby, the singer, wrote it about a childhood friend of his, named Mark Parham.
Jacoby and Mark had a rough upbringing, both used drugs + alcohol quite heavily
Eventually the drugs sent Mark into depressive spiral, eventually leading to him attempting suicide.
Mark went to treatment, got sober, came back, and jacoby felt like he couldn’t relate to who mark had become bc jacoby was still very much in that world of addiction
The song is about Marks downward spiral through the eyes of jacoby, who felt responsible for the whole thing because he was the one who introduced drugs to the situation
Years later jacoby eventually had his own issues with depression and suicidal tendencies, as such he says the song took on a new meaning for him at that time
Today Mark and Jacoby are both alive and well, got sober, and have families

keep up the amazing work. more papa roach is definitely needed - infest, between angels and insects, broken home, dead cell, blood brothers, born with nothing die with everything, getting away with murder, scars, to be loved, alive(n’ out of control), forever, hollywood whore, i almost told you that i loved you, lifeline, burn, kick in the teeth, still swingin’, where did the angels go, wish you never met me, give me back my life, leader of the broken hearts, face everything and rise, falling apart, gravity, crooked teeth, my medication, born for greatness, american dreams, help, none of the above, you’re not the only one, who do you trust?, elevate, come around, kill the noise

I had a very rough experience decades back when my first girlfriend broke up with me.
I turned to the bottle for a short period of time and during one of my binges, I ended up in a very dark place- I’ll spare you the details, as I don’t want to challenge the community guidlines.
After a few hours, a surge af anger overwhelmed me, I stood up screaming “F* this! I’ll never do it- for noone!”.
It took me 15 years to taste alcohol again and I composed a song for the matter, which functioned as a catalyst to accept the siuation and move on.
I am curious about your take on the matter… can an emotion, usually seen as a negative one, be actually beneficial?
To me, it resembles the controlled burning used to control wildfires. Succumb in a healthy way, so to speak.
Honestly though, if not for the music, I don’t know where I’d be right now, or if I would be at all…
