Therapist analyzes the lyrics to Fade To Black by Metallica to discuss suicidality and how the problem of suicidal thoughts and feelings is not the emotion itself but the ACTION the emotion points us in the direction of. If we can instead use that emotion to point us in the direction of something else we can say Goodbye to the pain and hello to something better.
Feels weird to be here first but here i am. I love your reactions. You should try listening to Second and Sebring by Of Mice and Men. Super emotional song. Or even some old Asking Alexandria for straight heavy screams and beautiful cleans
I used to sing this song when I worked at 3M as a tech aide. They made me sand metal strips for 4 hours straight every day while they did the intelligent work. My attitude was perceived as anti corporate values.
While I will always prefer live music to studio tracks, I think the live performance here actually distracts me from the haunting relatable pain in the original studio track. Probably not explaining it well. I think I just rock out to this and don’t feel it as deeply. Thanks for the reaction, though
