@heartsupport Just found your page and enjoyed your video. I was in tears. I’m definitely in a terrible headspace and looking into therapy very late into my suffering and man is it difficult to get support. Now suffering terribly due to my mental health, depression, anxiety and yes the main topic of this Papa Roach song. Don’t even want to type it, refuse. As a long time music fan who just enjoyed music I found it terrible disturbing to relate to these kind of songs. I hate relating to it but they are gifts. I don’t want to relate to this kind of music regarding mental illness. That being said two songs I unfortunately relate to are by a favorite band called @iamx. I think it would be amazing to see you do a commentary video about the songs “Quiet the Mind” and “Insomnia.” Iamx’s singer has opened up about his struggles and tries to support their fans. I think you both could do amazing work together or just hearing your words about the music would be nice. I’m still working on getting an appointment with a therapist. Will look into your resources. Thank you!
My brother took his life in 2007. None of us who knew him best had a clue. He called me on a Tuesday and we planned a trip together. Saturday morning he shot himself.
The part about not being left alone doesn’t always work. In 1995 my friend who was more like a brother. We had been best friends since second grade. He called me and said he was having some thoughts. I went to his house and hung out with him. He told me he was going to the bathroom and when he came back he had his dad’s .44. I told him he didn’t need that. He said ain’t it pretty and before I could get to him he put it against his head and pulled the trigger. I was there with him, he was looking at me. I have PTSD from several things in my life. This is one of them that I can still smell everything.
As a person who has suicidal ideation pretty much every day, to keep going is a choice. I’ve not lived for myself my whole life, up until 2020. Always trying to appease someone or fit into a mold of someone else’s idea of an ideal person. A close friend took his life in 2020 and it still haunts me today. Which is why I wouldn’t do it. I know the pain, and would never want anyone else to feel it. But, it’s still there. I’m working on putting the intrusive thoughts into a song, at the moment. It might help put things into perspective for those who don’t deal with them. Hopefully my pain can help someone else.
Eerery time I Reich out iend up in jail😢
40 now but jammed this so hard in my angsty teens! Lyrics have always been the words and feeling i relate to and couldnt put into my own words! Love the idea of working with folks using the love of music and lyrics!
SUPER AWESOME MESSAGE!!! Something about Gen X… it seems like there was allot of “cutters”/self mutilating tendencies. I knew people who were competitive. Literally, seeing who could hold a burning cigarette between their arms the longest. https://youtu.be/f_WqGCqjNAk?si=a2YvDtPOqVOTZo0e Media like this is a conversation starter. https://youtu.be/qHeqq6b6Vtw?si=WCCk2_fwW8ea2H7h
Here is my papa roach saved my life. I was 18 when this album came out, was depressed and suicidal, just weird thoughts didn’t think my life was worth it. None of my friendsor familyknew what was goingon in my head. I instantly gravitated to this album, they came on tour to my town. Mr and my friends always met bands after concerts, so we find their tour bus and hang out with them. I pulled Jacoby aside and explained to him that his music had helped me rethink certain things. After I told him this he grab the back of my head and pushed our foreheads together and told me to always look to the light, and never give up. Gave me a big hug and thanked me for telling him, autographed my cd. My friends were flabbergasted they thought I had a perfect life, because I was quiet and kept to myself, but internally I was a mess. I have obviously gotten through that awkward point and moved on, still love heavy metal and hard rock. Papa roach especially that album will always be in my heart.
You really should listen to Falling In Reverse’s reimagined cover of this song…same lyrics but a different perspective.
Ma’am. You need to listen to Ronnie Radke’s version of this song.
As a millennial who grew up with this song. Jacoby got us with that teen angst perfectly. Like hands down. This was perfect. We were angry. We were hurt. We were broken. But we were kids. Kids breaking shit and letting out anger.
Ronnie’s version… is not that. Thats the version for when were older and the worlds literally chewed us up and spit us out over and over and over again. Its beautiful and devastatingly haunting. It had me bawling when i heard it.
This song was a real hit when it came out, now it’s a classic
I love your ability to make shit right…
This song is immensely powerful, and I must say that you and your trained words are, too!! Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Should you ever read this comment, listen to this song as a cover from an artist called Lauren Babic, you may enjoy it? Keep the good things up Taylor x
You need to react Twenty One Pilots - At the risk of feeling dumb, its about friends supporting their friends in difficult times.
This shit made me fricken cry. I know that battle that’s inside. That voice does get louder, and it starts to reason with you that maybe the world may better off without you here screwing it up. I won that battle and I’m still here however long later. Speak to anyone guys! You’re not alone!
It is not fun to Live in this world. Self Hatred Destroys a person. Thank you for your help.
In that time Papa Roach were real artist.
@heartsupport I’ve always loved this song but relate so much more to it now because of your double purpose explanation of this song and have experienceed the second part with a loved one and oh my goodness it hits in the feels
I would love to see you REACT to the Falling in Reverse version of this song to me it’s like the modern day version of how people see and read the lyrics but would love your input
Have you seen Broken Home by Papa Roach already? cause it’s some 
The dancing in the beginning…TERRIFIC!!! lol
