Sometimes you just need to cry, there’s something I don’t want to talk about either. I hope anyone reading this is doing well in life and if no one else will say it, I love you and I’m proud of you.
I like the fact that whoever wrote the lyrics for this song (I don't know if it was Mike or Jeremy) did it out of a deep sense of self-criticism, roasting himself for having said "I hope that is cancer and not something else" as if it were a good thing. Singing a phrase like that and publicly and openly acknowledging your mistake is one of the most admirable attitudes that a human being can have.
In an interview, mike hranica said he wrote this in relation to the high suicide rate, many of those being people he respected. Someone else passed and he assumed it was suicide, later to find it was cancer. He said he was oddly relieved to hear that person didn’t kill themselves
“Lyrically, this song is about how many of the people I have looked up to and idolized have ended up committing suicide. It is something that has always made me question if I was on the right path in my own life. During the recording process, we learned of a another death, and I immediately assumed it was suicide. It ended up that this person had been secretly battling cancer for years, and for some reason, that made me feel relieved. The track addresses how messed up that thought process is and the guilt that comes along with it.”
Reach out to your loved ones. Actually talk with them. Don't let them become a statistic. The worst that could happen is leaving them to drown in their thoughts.
I was more than right when I said an acoustic version of this song would destroy me. 😭 "Care about Heaven or Hell." The way they sing this lyric on both versions will always make me emotional.

Nice version of the song. Just wished the harsh vocals weren't so far back in the background. It's almost like they are trying to copy the bass guitar on justice for all with the unclean vocals...
The harsh vocals aren't the focus in this version, being further back in the mix they effectively amplify the anguish. I think it's a brilliant move for this melancholic version.
Seen them live with ABR and was kind of disappointed. Not a bad show but their set list was just meh :/ these new songs like Chemical and Noise are just bad
No, their earlier music that y'all love to praise for some odd fucking reason is what's bad. The songwriting and emotion present on _Color Decay_ puts it in a league of its own compared to the rest of their discography. I would say that one day you and many others will be able to realize that, but I don't have that much faith.
@@SWC-el8lp Color Decay is a bad polished emo album. 8:18-The Act was raw and different. Color Decay was a huge step back. I mean they’ve always been kind of a “boy” band but this new album really shows it
Why don’t you go ahead and cry about it. Go ahead and keep listening to all your raw and heavier stuff. You don’t have to be here. You’re just another voiceless opinion to be honest. They don’t know you. But most importantly they didn’t make this album just for you. The way you don’t appreciate the album and the growth really shows how much maturity you haven’t gained. They’re getting older, and really nobody wants to be doing the same thing for 15+ years. So if you want heavy. There are other bands and you can leave.
@@SWC-el8lp Yeah Transit Blues was finally decent and they've been progressively getting much better. Mike's vocals were so bad in their old days that it's borderline unlistenable.
This song is a constant tearjerker for me. Making this acoustic is like a whole onion in song form 😭 this album is a masterpiece!
mf said tearjerker
@@cristo_crosta_gesu2910 Please tell me there's something better
@@cristo_crosta_gesu2910 Well I wish there was someone
"I hope that its cancer, and not something else" is one of the most meaningful lyrics I've heard..... the song just hits home for me.

I love you and I'm proud of you too, stranger
@ we will get through anything homie, nothing is too tough.
@@kalebnolan8343it's true 🙏🏻
Those intro keys had us like 🤤TDWP 🖤
I'm not crying, this is just a rain
i am
The lyrics of this song are so deep. God bless you guys.
I've beening waiting for the acoustic version since day 1 release of this album. I love this whole album with all that I am.
I never got the line about pretending to know every story until now. this is such a complex song emotionally. the world is so fucked man
This band is so F'ing amazing. This song is so deep and sad dealing with the horror that depression can do to friends and family.

I think Jonathan wrote it

Jon wrote it about someone he looked up to. Quick google search but it’s been out there for a while

@@mrBWgames Thanks for that info pal!
Always makes me cry
Since the very first time I heard it I always wondered how it would sound in acoustic. Now I know. Thank you guys
Heartwrenching. Beautiful song.
Good Lord this is beautiful!
This song is the best I've heard on the entire album and I like the acoustic version as well as the original version.
This is pain :(
Damn this hits hard.
Amazing song, sometimes I feel this way
Tanto que espere con ansias el album

Right in the feely feels.

"Care about Heaven or Hell."

As if the original version wasn't sad enough :(
just WOAH.
Both versions of this song are so good!
😢😢😢😢 that was beautiful
The Devil Wears Onion
😂😂😂
❤ hermoso señores
I loving this
Beautiful
Simplemente hermosa!!!
the screaming in the back oh my god
❤
It means "the love of most will grow cold" (--Jesus) in the extreme, after leaving the jaded middle
For anyone that doesn’t know, this song is about losing people to suicide

Please Mike keep silent in this version😊
