Since May, there have been many more interpretations than the one that is currently out, any comments telling me they are wrong will be deleted.
[Verse 1]
I raised you in the dark
Caught you reading by the sunrise
You wandered from the path
Through the silence of the hillside
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you know I could see it in you even then?
And don't you know I was trying to hold back the darkness?
[Chorus]
And are you really okay?
Are you really okay?
[Verse 2]
You woke me up one night
Dripping crimson on the carpet
I saw it in your eyes
Cutting deeper than the scars could run
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you know I could see it in you even now?
And don't you know I want to help you but I don't know how
[Chorus]
And are you really okay?
Yeah, yeah
Are you really okay?
[Bridge]
And I, I cannot fix your wounds this time
But I, I don't beliеve you when you tell mе you are fine
[Outro]
Please don't hurt yourself again
Just please don't hurt yourself again
Please don't hurt yourself again
Please don't hurt yourself again

I lost my husband to a drug overdose 3 days ago. I lost it when i heard this song. Id beg him to stop poisoning himself. Id always beg him to be there for me and our young boys. He was so tormented by wanting to get better but feeling trapped. And like it does for so many, one last time turned into his last time. I just wish i could have one more minute with him to tell him how much i love him.
@@Mikesusendsadasdc I don't know you but your life is always worth it. Life is always worth it. I learned so much through watching my husbands addiction, completely strip him of all things that made him, him. All of the things he loved including me and the children got tossed aside. It wreaked havok on mine and my childrens lives to see him choose to hurt himself every day. He'd have moments of sobriety and get angry because there wasn't no immediate gratification. Now hes gone and so are all the possibilities that one day hed get back what he lost. That stuff is designed to take away everything from you and leave you at your lowest in pain and withdrawing, willing to do anything, give anything, take anything, hurt anything for just one more high. Then when you have nothing left to give to it it takes the only thing left it can take from you, your life. You're already doing so well. It takes strength to choose not to hurt yourself. You're getting stronger every day you choose life. It will pay off. Its just not imediate. Nothing good is supposed to be immediate gratification. Every notice how something you worked hard for feels better than something given to you? I was an addict 8 years ago. My husband and i would argue over this when hed get clean and want to use again because he couldnt see that it was worth it. It is slowly but surely. I remeber the first time i saw the sunrise with sober eyes. I dont mean the glance i took on day 1. I mean after a year of sobriety the first time i really saw the sunrise. It brought me to tears in its beauty. Every sunrise since has looked that way. I notice beauty in places i never thought to look when i was using. Things i took for granted. If you stay it will pay off i know it will. I know I'm a stranger but I'm rooting for you.
He knew you did but he was struggling to love his self I'm truly sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss. As a single dad with kids whose mothers choose drugs over them, I can only imagine how frustrating and painful it was trying to help your partner. They're still around but not around the kids as sad as that is. I wish you the best on healing, best of luck to yours too
You know, after so long. You stop telling people what's wrong. "I'm okay" becomes a reflex. Once you get to that point it's really hard to open up anymore. I wish i could fix that.
I’m a grown man of 35 and I was full on ugly crying at this 😭😭 what a beautiful track
Same I’m 51
Same however is there a pretty cry?😂
I’m 50 and just found out I’m not right in the head. This song is therapy to me. ❤
Anyone of any age and gender can be touched by the painful beauty of this audio masterpiece.
I'm 43 and wept like a baby. Had a girlfriend that would hurt herself. Reminds me of that period... Crazy
Im a metal head, and this is my favorite song on the album.
Don't really see the reason for you to point out that you're a metal head in accordance to this song being your favourite
@@AtDawnWeKill The narration in my head while reading your comment was hilarious😅
I’m a new metal head and Sleep Token is like chicken noodle soup for my soul. This song is so gentle and kind and feels like a warm hug, even though I’m okay.
Same
💯
No words can explain how brilliant this is…
this is the music i wouldve needed when i was a teen.
I didn’t think this was going to hit me as hard as it did
Omg this was hard to listen to. Made me think of Chester Bennington. I cried so hard my chest hurt.
I lost my son due to addiction 8/16/21 and this song I’m dedicating to all those who are struggling through addiction , depression , self harm and the memory of my beloved Andrew who tried so hard to battle his demons and sobriety. He was my best friend and my life is so empty without him!!!
I wish he could’ve heard this song and hopefully he is !! 💔 🪽
very sorry to hear that. peace to you.
My heart breaks for you and goes out to you. Bless you and your beloved boy 💞
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my husband and the father of my young boys on Wednesday night due to the same thing. It's a devastating pain. I'm sorry you've gone through it too. This song is about self harm but in drug addiction is another form of self harm.
So sorry to hear this...there are no words
This song hits me every time. I‘m struggling with self harm for many years. I‘m clean but it’s still hard. Whenever I feel the need, I listen to this song. 🖤
Hey i know how you feel, if you need anyone to talk or understand, hmu i would be more than happy to talk
@@corey5858that’s incredibly kind of you 🖤 I‘d also be happy to talk
You are so loved 🖤
same here
We got you. Inboxes and hearts open. All you need sometimes is someone who truly gets what you’re going through and wants to be there for you, for the sake of being there for someone in need, because we know… 💙
I just heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago. I havent stopped listening to it since. I have personal experiences with losing a child to suicide and the aftermath of selfharm on my other child. This song tears at my heart. It is beautiful and powerful.
I’ve struggle with mental health since I was young. Depression can hit me hard on some days. In 2021 I was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression, and Dissociative Identity Disorder, we found this all out after hitting a breaking point and me along with one of my alter’s tried to self harm. My best friend found and stopped us before we could serious damage to ourselves. It’s been a very hard and long journey of healing. Today me and that alter listened to this song and we cried so hard.
🙏🏼🤍
Honestly, the lyrics are a perfect song from a dad to a daughter that self harms. This is my new “I miss you dad” song. RIP❤
6 years clean from self harm. Did it for 10 years addictivley. ❤
I'm with you girl
My heart goes out to you 💓
Coming from a parent, this song floors me. Beautiful.
I've lost too many friends to suicide and have struggled with my own mental health. I appreciate the message and comfort this song brings.
This song opens up my heart I felt like I was gonna cry, I struggle with depression and wanting to self harm myself, I can relate to this song a lot
Don’t. Reach out to anyone in this community and be surprised at how much your fellow human beings actually care about you and you being ok. Really ok. 💙
I know it can be difficult at times, believe me, I really do know. You have to stay strong and positive. I know you must have people who love and care about you. I don't know you, but I care. God bless 🙏🏼🤍
I wasn’t meant to hear this particular song until today. Until just now, five minutes ago, when I could finally answer “yes” for the first time in years. Thank you! Be there for one another. 🙏💙🌌
I know what you mean. Until recently, it wasn't one on the album I really cared to listen to, until I started healing. I fishy feel like now is the perfect time to hear the message.
It's been 2 months since you posted your comment and I hope you're doing well and still on that healing journey. I wish you the best.
Finally**
I wish i could send this to younger me.
Just close your eyes, listen to the song and imagine hugging your inner child, it's still there and it heals ❤
Me too... but I know that she's still in there, because I can feel her crying along with me when I cry to this song.
Those moments in the dark, when despair takes hold. When there are more questions than answers, and the only answers are brutal oblivion. Right at the point when crushing finality seems like the only option. Then that's when you have to be stronger than you know, and face the suffering head-on and push past the pain. Are you really OK? Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, or next week. Maybe you have to suffer more, but please believe me when I say that the suffering is not forever. It does get better. And that pain you carry may be heavy now, but it gets lighter, and the dark recedes. And days become bearable, and who you think you are now, changes bit by bit. And I have come to tell you that one day, you'll feel compelled to tell someone, anyone who came so very close to ending it all, that there is hope. It can happen, as it did for me. This song reminds me how low I used to be and how far I've come. ❤
Fantastic writing, Sir!
Holy Hell his voice, the hurt it conveys and the lyrics just tear my heart open.
I can't believe I've only found out about this band 6 days ago... this is what music is supposed to sound like!
WORSHIP!
Welcome!
Same, and this song was my first experience..it’s a first time in awhile a band made me feel..
I knew of Sleep Token a while ago, actually the first song I heard was Granite and I fell in love with them instantly. I just found this song and omg, I have no words, it's absolutely beautiful, I cannot stop listening to it🩷
The most beautiful song of the year 😭
I agree this song and Euclid are my favorites!!
Absolutely!
I’ve never been a fan of metal and stuff but this is the best band I’ve ever heard in my life
I began listening to Sleep Token in late 2023, around when my mom was having a very difficult time taking care of herself. I would often have to go over to her place in the middle of the night because she often would fall and injure herself. She always would say she was fine, but I knew she wasn't. She passed away in November of 2023. As beautiful as this song is, it creates a reminiscent haunting and heavy feeling on my heart, yet I still find myself listening to it now and again.
Thank you sleep token for getting me through all of the pent up sadness I've had built in me forever. Having made jewelry with silver and leather scrap most of my life, Ive just started drawing. You guys have inspired.. everything🖤
My cousin's son took his own life last year. This song touches my heart so emotionally.
i hope you are doing okay. that is rough. if you need anyone to talk to i'm here
Thats nice
My heart goes out to you and all his loved ones 💓
Happy Heavenly Birthday Tim ❤
this song helped me facing my feelings instead of running away from it. thank you, sleeps
Fantastic.
I've been in a bad place recently and this track feels like a ray of light breaking through the clouds 😀
Don't cry often but this got me. Well done ❤
I love metal and this band.. This is the best fucking song they’ve written in my opinion
also a fan of metal and I 100% agree. its the most raw emotion on the album
agreed
Totally agree
Crying my eyes out… My daughter has been a selfharmer for many years and this song hits my so hard… It been long time since she hurt herself, but I am still watching her arms and wandering…. Are you really okey?
This song is amazing🥹 Also feels so much like Pearl Jam too me.
Dude I've been thinking the same pearl jam vibes on this and tool or a perfect circle vibes on chokehold
I find myself needing to hear this song multiple times a day thank leo.
Vessel.
Thank you brother.
😢 🫂
This is definitely my favorite. Rivals "Cosmic" for my favorite of the year.
Very impressed with this band. Gotta dive a bit deeper into their older stuff.
I will not hurt myself again, Vessel. I promise. Your voice is in my life and I never thought I needed one in an indirect musical way. But apparently, I do. Vessel, you are a Godsend. You. Saved. Me.
Such an amazing masterpiece and discovery. I cried so much. Maybe the most beautiful song I’ve heard in 21 years of listening to music and metal !
Second time listening to this since the release. It still destroys me , but it’s Ok.. Really.
Worship
cried like a baby ... 39 yo
Another great song. I hear Led Zeppelin influence right away.
I lost my best friend early this year, it still hurts… this song helps though… thank you
Pure love in every note. God bless
Made me cry so much ngl
Dude...I'm about 2 bourbons deep and weeping like a baby in my man cave lmao 😂😭💔
Me too
My ex did thee old warm tub slit and I cried like a baby with this song and I haven't thought about that since 2008 prior, you unzipped what I suppressed
🙏🏼🤍
I dedicate this to you Samantha, wherever you are, I hope you are really okay❤
This song describes my exact point of view and everything I felt when my boyfriend was thinking about suicide.
Really feeling these lyrics right now as someone seeing someone in so much pain, wanting to end it all because they don't feel they are worthy. Tonight has surely been a night. I'm hoping he will be OK. 11 years is a long time to love someone but not long enough when you pledged eternity. My heart hurts.
“Are you really okay” Hits hard..
In the last few years, i havent been the happiest a person could be. Things people who're close to me have told me things that make me feel as if im unworthy of anything, like how im abusive, mean and hateful, being made fun of for my body (albeit, deserved), and just the things ive told myself for the last few years and months have had me consider suicide and selfharm (even recently). Then, like an angel from the sky, comes Sleep Token. This fuckin band is fantastic, and not one song have i heard from them i didnt like. Thank you for the beats, Sleep Token
This should be used in the new Crow movie.
Wait. There’s a new Crow movie?
@@flutistnotflautist4740 yep... starring Bill skarsgard. Done filming too and yet no media on it whatsoever. It’s supposed to be a remake of the first movie. To be honest no media whatsoever is not a good sign. I wonder if it’s getting test screened right now.
Would work well👍🏻
beautiful absolute chills xxx
Wow this song is like chef’s kiss ❤.
And I went to a concert just to listen to sleep token.
What a beautiful song! 🤗
Epic and sad,and emotional, touches the heart
Vessel: Are you really okay?
Me: NO 😭😭😭😭😭
This song is fucking amazing but anyone else get a led Zeppelin thank you vibe from this song!
I said the same thing!
In my mid 40s with health issues. A lifelong drummer (love you ii) This song rocks me to my core. 🫶🙏
For a lot of Gen Xers and late Millennials, this song will touch a chord as it's similar to songs from bands we grew up listening too but also a childhood filled with power ballads.
Finally some good fuckin rock music.
Worship
This song, I can't stop listening to it🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Yes I have hurt myself
Please don't again. You are enough. You have value. You are forgiven. You are loved.
The beginning reminds me of Zeppelin Thank You.... Love it...
I’m not crying, I’m not crying 😭
I'm getting a real 80s vibe from this song love it.
My sister always takes the piss out of my music taste, but bitch i heard you singing this yesterday, So whos laughing now!!!!
LOVE!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😢😢
Metal heads here getting soft they are art
Rest in paradise baby sister! I love you, til we meet again.... your big brother!
I really don't want to like this group....... But it's getting harder and harder ❤
Just let it happen 😅
🖤🙏🖤 Worship
🖤🖤🖤
In my youth I let my demons win. I was a burn out that hurt so many people that loved me.. I sat behind my grandfather's house with a 12 gauge in my mouth all night. I couldn't hurt the ones that loved me like that. I really wasn't ok
Sunday I celebrated 3 full years since I last self harmed. I'm sobbing after hearing this song for the first time.
THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER
Yes I am thank you Lord
Really good song 😢
Oh the feeleys
This is for my love who’s battling his demons. I won’t give up I’m trying so hard.
Listening right now to try to fight the urge to 😔
so beautiful🖤
I am really okay now. I won't hurt myself ever again.
Never self harmed but came close ,,betrayal is a sharp knife
F*ck man...I am bawling...this just hits...hard.
Some how this song found me a couple days ago I’m glad it did
Hits hard
sad song .. so real .. I am not okay .. but you asking me that does not change any thing
I cut two weeks ago.. Im still not okay but im gonna make it too that one month mark this time... Im 20. Been struggling with self harm since the 7th grade and it progressed into deeper cuts
I am my worst enemy and I’ve been dead once and in a coma for 7 weeks I learned how to walk again but i didn’t learn anything about life yet Iam addicted to sadness loneliness it’s not depression because Iam happy when everyone is happy but me I love that feeling I am really ok you can’t help me you don’t know how
He’s singing about himself
I think he is talking about himself in this song
My ideal self to my present self:
No, no, thank you for asking I'm not okay
I've been begging, pleading, and imploring with the rich man
But nothing changes, it's the same everyday
I'm still lonely with the clowns head games of lies for his plan
I tell em' how to help me, to hold my hand
And to take me to always and forever learning land
But he just keeps on with his hidden agenda
And I keep praying for God to be my defender
Cuz in the end he has the final say
Men and women can walk away
But Jehovah and Jesus will be forever in ones broken spirit
I'm not okay.
Ive lost a few of my best friends to suicide, This song hits incredibly hard, but it also connects us who listen. its a tough struggle, but were never alone, because the band who wrote this, and the fans who follow understand. We're right there with you, much love man 💚
Wow
Why don’t they play this song live?
I WOULD DISLIKE THIS SONG TWICE IF I COULD
Fuck. Im crying
Oh my God I'm getting breaking Benjamin vibes that is crazy😮❤
If I were plaiyng this on any other medium other than digital, i would have worn it out to the point of it being unplayable at this point.
Ion no why this reminds me of 3 doors down with out you baby 🤷🏾♂️
