The fact that so many people share their stories in the comment section of a song says so much about this song. Evokes emotion. Happiness. Sadness. Anger. It's music like this that saves lives. Music is the door to the soul, something a lot of people don't quite understand. People like us, who know the weight and meaningfulness of music are the people who prevail. Stay strong. Live.
the worst is when you realize you've been wasting your time on someone who you don't mean as much to as they meant to you and you feel so stupid for caring so much.
+Senpai the worst part is when you had someone who cared for you so much and you took it for granted and now don't have her and realize how much you appreciated her now that shit hurts
Haoma MusicBlood same here and this song just makes me feel sad but happy in a way because i just think about waiting in till i met how someone really loves me
Haoma MusicBlood There's a hole in my soul, I can't fill it, I can't fill it... There's a hole in my soul, can you fill it, can you fill it ? Sorry. I had to.
“The greatest fear in the world is the opinions of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep; you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.” -Osho
How can someone be so cruel even knowing you will burn your hands in fire for them and then they betray you...lie and just find someone new in a few days...? Do the y really love the one who have replace you?
Getting high and listening to Daughter really helps me to relieve alot of the sadness, confusion, and darkness I always feel swirling inside the empty hole inside me. If only my boyfriend or friends understood my heart.
+Hannah Quackenbush yeah it is a shame. it reminds me that even when i have someone i am still always alone. but it isnt always such a bad thing. its a battle but you know in the end ill always win.
+Tina catz If it helps you feel better, everyone feels sadness, confusion and darkness. It comes from not feeling in control, and escaping with drugs only reinforces it. Stop running away. Face the darkness and do something to change it instead of feeling sorry for yourself
This message is a call for hope and for HER. I went to the Daughter Concert in Luxembourg with a friend on the Saturday 17/11/2013. While the concert was playing, I noticed a girl who was on my right, she was looking at me for about 30 seconds without keeping her eyes off me, I looked her quickly but I did not dare look at her any other time. The reason why I'm writing this right now is that something made me feel extremly strange, though I could'nt catch it during the concert; Yet when I went back home, as I lied on my bed, I sudenly remembered that I've already seen that girl, I'm pretty sure, It was 10 years ago as we were kids, she loved me but I was to shy to even express how I felt for her there. I'm now an 18 year old boy and today I'm just torn appart for having been so shy again and let the chance run away. Don't you feel sometimes like life's mocking you and reapiting things over and over again until you find the key to solve the problem? TH-cam is maybe the last chance that I have to find her, or we will never even have a talk, we will just forget and begin another thing, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, until I have a chance, until we have one, I will not let it fall down. That's what I remember concerning herself She is tall, with brown and long curly hairs, she was standing on the right close to the stage, I was on the middle a bit behind her. If you know her, of if you ARE her, contact me on my youtube message, let me know you've seen that... (ozerion2103@gmail.com) if you can remember I had short-medium lenght brown hairs and blue eyes, I weared a dark blue jeans and a light colored pullover. Thanks for your attention, I wish you love and all the good things the world has, Daughter is a good start, that's the right way!:) Bye
Kindred spirits? Some don't believe in them,but,i do. Find her! You were both meant to find each other. When you do,you'll see and understand what i mean. Good luck! SMILE! You could be past lovers or past old friends....could be in an other life? Who knows?
I dont know what to say ...just hope you find her and if you see her dont lose the chance to talk to her im 18 like you and i totally know what you mean and felt not cuz im same age as you but from the same experience :)
'I want all that is not mine I want him but we're not right' That boy with his poetry and charm, how easy it was for him to take my heart, my mind and space in my head, now left aching and absent. I'm selfish, I want him, but he's not mine to have
My favorite line is "I think I should go now quietly, for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep" Because this is how I feel after a really long cry, or when my depression has devoured me, or especially after an anxiety attack
I love this picture, when you stare at it for a while it seems like the jaws are trying to move as if she's trying to say something but she just cant because she's in awe

Bazı rüzgarlı havalarda oturur. Ağacın dallarından çıkan sesleri dinlerdim. Hep aklıma Hazel gelirdi. Kendi ruhum, HAZEL!! Onu ben her şekilde bekliyorum. Her kimsen, Hazel'in bana her zaman dediği şey " Hüznün mutluluğun olsun. Mutluluğun hüznün olsun. " derdi. Hasta olman senin mutluluğun dur belki hiç bir zaman unutma bence!
My whole life, I've been told that I can. I can win, I can do this, I can do that. I was told I have the power to change the world, the brains to make a difference, the heart to touch millions. I know most of people think that that is a good thing. I'm being told I can do anything - isn't that much more than what many others get in a lifetime? But the thing is, what if, after working my ass off trying to meet these crazy expectations, these sky high standards, and I ultimately fail... who am I? Just a girl who disappoints her family. Just a girl who will end up going to some community college when all her fucking life, she was determined to go somewhere amazing. Do spectacular things. Just a girl, who is drowning, suffocating, in the expectations of those who are supposed to support her through deep and shallow, thick and thin. Just a girl, who is a failure.
+Allison Waters :( You are who you strive to be. You are not your failures, you are the brightness you bring everywhere, you are not a disappointment, but someone who your family supports, no matter if you win or lose. I know it's easier said than done to believe this, but just believe. I wanna fall down into a hole, but I don't..
+Allison Waters Get a high GPA and then transfer to a university. People do that all the time. Then you can pursue a field you want to at a prestigious school.
I believe human are resilient enough to live on this earth no matter how difficult life will be, that will include you too. What we chase and we get will not always the same but I do believe we will receive what we need. I hope life will get better for you
I feel like I invest too much in the people around me and build them up to be better friends than they actually are and then I just disappoint myself when they let me down.
I think that it is just something that every person deals with at some point in their lives. You're not the only one but you know, it makes you the person who you are and you come out even stronger than before. Just think about yourself, be the change that you want to see and don't let others choices and decisions bring you down. After all they don't define you, you define yourself.
This song has intuitively hugged me, as for many of Daughter's music. For some reason, after meeting Daughter (literally) I felt inside me open a box of untapped memories, emotions and feelings I havent felt in awhile. listening to them, isnt the same - i think its because deep down i know that much my life, or many of us have felt this very feeling of uncertainty and pain. Much of how a lot of people here say they feel unappreciated - well listen, thats why im here. I feel the same, I think we all do. But I sometimes think, our kindness is taken for grated, but you shouldnt take your own kindness for grated. You been there for people - though at times, remember this at those crucial times, be there for yourself. because youre full of love. Elena's favorite signature is "So much love!♡" youre filled with so much kindness and gentle hearted. If youre reading this, and feel alone. hugged yourself and know you aren't there's many like us and whenever you feel lonely, ponder all the good you have done for others.
I'm REALLY not hooking for any attention here I swear but I love this song because I'm a Catholic teen who's having some sexuality changes that I'm trying to manage so the lyrics that say "I want him but we're not right" "in the darkness I will meet my creators" stuff like that, hits me like cold water. Ily Daughter 💙
I'm positive God loves you just as much everyone else. I think at the end of the day we are judged by our actions and treatment of others, not by who we fall in love with.
i was stuck in a spiral of depression a year ago and this was my song i was on the brink and i'm glad i can come back to this song with a fresh mind knowing things get better
Sometimes my own stupidity amazes me, like caring about someone so deeply only to realize that they don't care. I don't blame them though and you can't force someone to love you. Smh.
i’m so glad my constant feelings of never wanting to exist are over. i’m listening to this song for the first time and memories of all those feelings are running through my brain. i let myself be happy finally and i’m so glad i did. it really does get better. sorry about just another vague positive story about holding on, but i hope you use this and apply it to your life. even letting in just a little bit of light in your life does change it little by little.
This song hits home on so many levels.... it sums up how ive felt my entire life (not relationship wise) just....... in general.... perpetual sadness..... despair.... suffocating all those around me.... eventually im just going to go through with it... and just.... "go now quietly....." eventually.. just havent worked myself up to it.. promised myself not too years ago... I feel I have to help people and do what I have to do on this earth and give back to it..... then again I stare in the mirror everyday and just.... feel so alien... so alone..... I smothered all those Ive ever loved.. and I feel at times I may help the world. help people. give smiles others.... but end up dying alone.... staring at the ceiling wondering what Ive done..... all the things ive ever done.... ill just be another statistic.... a forgotten memory.. with a crying mother....
i love her songs so much. Just lay down at night and watch the stars with someone while listening to some of her songs. I always do this every night i just need someone to share that amazing moment with and trust me... it feels amazing! :3
I was on a live concert of Daughter in cologne, 2016 and overall it was just magical I never was on a concert before and Daughter being my first was definitely one of my best choices in life but when Smother started playing I was just hypnotized standing there and for a moment Elena looked at me and at that moment I really forgot everything around me. It was like if everything didn't exist (or has ever existed) around me except the music, Daughter on the stage and me listening to it, even if it was for just a tiny moment it felt like so much longer. Not entirely sure how else to explain it but I can say it was a once in a life time experience I will hold onto very dearly. I recommend going on a Daughter concert because all the people listening with you to them are super kind, chill and obviously have a great taste in music so you will feel like you are in the right place to be
Two years ago i used to listen to this song constantly. And it prevented me from killing myself. I love this song and the deep meaning behind it it's so sad and peaceful and calm.
ugh, i just love, love this song. Not just the words but the music, the part where it starts "to follow" and the beat picks up, it feels I am drowning in so many things.
This type of music should be on the radio and trending. Not all those other singer nowadays were there's barely some good lyrics. Those type of songs can actually save lives...
Just browsing TH-cam and came across Daughter. I must say,her voice sure lull me. How interesting how someones voice can cause an unforgettable impact. Especially certain moods we may be in,the right music and voice sets the tone and you just feel lost in it. I think she has a capturing and captivating voice. I really like it.
I am so incredibly grateful that I got to hear this live and even more so excited that I get to see the them perform again in March. I'm still left speechless and in tears every time I listen to this song. All the love to Elena, Igor, and Remi x
I get into this mood when I’m listening to music like this and then a face book ad at full blast rapes my eardrums and kills it. Thank you for that....
Song gave me a chill like no other. Before giving my life over to Christ I really struggled with identity, with with purpose. I was such a scared man that I could not hold on to a woman, those last lyrics rang true for me with every relationship I tried to have before then "I'm sorry if I smothered you". The dark hole I dug myself into seemed hopeless until Christ found me. I used to feel disgusting, unwanted, unloved. The day I met Christ changed all this. He showed me my value through his love, through his sacrifice and longing to be with me. He showed I was more than loved, I was sought after. He showed me that even if the world didn't see it, I had a value worth a perfect mans life, he showed me the blessings in my life that were invisible to me before. I don't share this to try and "convert" any one, I share it because that's my story, it's the reality of my life. If you don't believe me that's fine, to each his own, but I cannot be the same man I once was, I now have hope, purpose, and blessings far more than I could count. When I heard this song that dark past seemed so close, yet I knew it was not me anymore, I couldn't help but weep when hearing this it showed me what I used to feel like, and most of all, it showed me how incredible God is that he would pluck me from that darkness.
Fumei Unknown I sense a bit of resentment of my comment? If you have something to say Fumei then be clear. A comment like that wont get anyone anywhere.
I am not religious or something but i love to hear that people can actually get out of that hole. Get out of that struggle in their minds and be free as they want to be. I dont care how this people do! May it be religion, meditation or whatsoever.. It doesnt matter which religion it is this person found himself through. Its about the fact that he did! Which is just beautiful. This is great.. Have a blessed life my friend.
+John Dominy Sorry you need an imaginary friend to feel complete, these disgusts you've been told to have with yourself are imaginary, just like your Christ. To dig yourself out of a hole you need not cry for absoloution but dig yourself less you become a weak worm.
Sheldonthesnail Sorry you need to put down someone elses joy and happiness to feel better about yourself. who do you think is really more joyful about their life, the person who feels this overwhelming need to disclaim someones faith, or the guy who could care less about your negativity? and really? These disgusts are imaginary? have fun believing your some perfect child who deserves everyones love and attention, because first of all, you have no idea who I am, and secondly, you are utterly dillusional if you dont see the mistakes youve made and feel remorse for them. Sorry buddy, but your "more enlightened than though" attitude is not intimidating anyone. get over yourself.
One of my "friends" are always crying and I'm always there to comfort her. When I need someone none are there. I beleive everyone is just using me. Fake Friends. That is my biggest fear just being used and not meaning anything to someone. Like im just a roll of toilet paper...
I know exactly what u mean. I'm always helping my "friends" giving them advice and comfort but if I'm sad and just really really hurt, everyone seems to be busy somehow. and if they're not, they just ignore my silence when they notice it. But u know what? they turn us, good people, with a kind heart, into bad ones and I'm not just going to accept that. or better we. that's why I decided not long ago, and u should too, and everyone else who's going through this kind of bullshit, that we should just leave them. These miserable friends that are more like living hells than true helpers. Bc we don't need this bullshit. and if u think u'll be lonely without them.. of course u will. but just until u find new friends. better people u can feel waaaay more comfortable with. And believe me, it's definitely worth waiting. So just fuck them and leave them. and then maybe they'll finally realise what an awesome person they lost! you are worth more than just a "used-for-bad-times-friend" ♡♡ fighting!♡
I have a "friend" who has a bad health period and she's away from her family, I always help her and comfort her also and in the end she just be like.. No one is there for me here .. Such a drama queen >_>
I keep on thinking that I always meet the wrong guys.. and I must say this song.. THIS BLOODY SONG and the lyrics .. I had an absolute awakening.. like suddenly everything is so clear..
I've never found a song that portrays exactly how I'm feeling. Word for word. Maybe a line or two will resonate with me, but nothing like this. Every line is so powerful, I can feel my heart break with every listen. I sent someone this song in the hope that they would understand that this is exactly how I feel. That they would listen to it and realize how desperate I am for someone to know, but just can't speak the words. The meaning behind the lyrics was totally lost on them, and I'm left wondering how someone can listen to this incredibly moving, heart wrenching song and miss that.
+Teo MoonLight I don't think the song is implying that they will, hence it's 'can'. Maybe she's melancholious of the underlying fear that they might actually grow up to be so broken, bad, or whatever.
That's one of the reasons why I don't want any children. I don't want the same terrible fates I'm experiencing with my family to be past down through me to them. I wouldn't let that happen, even if it'll mean to never have a baby, I'll make that sacrifice..
@@Natalie-cv2nt Yes. I knew that if I had kids, they would suffer horribly, so I didn't want any. But my husband wanted lots of them. After the divorce, he did the Parental Alienation thing and now my Daughter thinks I'm just a piece of shit and she is smoking and drinking herself to death. My Son doesn't know what to do or how to be. Truly, it would have been better had I never been born.
I went to your concert when you were in my city. I can, with an honest heart say, that it was the most incredible experience in my entire life. Not only has your music shaped me as a person, but also gave me somewhat of a place of refuge for my deepest thoughts and darkest feelings. It´s quite hard to go through life smiling and doing everything that is expected of you, when in truth, deep inside of you there is a pain that only grows and grows, and after the years continues to tighten around your neck, only releasing you in those few moments on friday nights, when the whole world is silent, the sky is a dark grey, there are people scattered across the dangerous streets, but you can just stay in your bed, hide behind the curtains and listen to something that really has meaning and value to you, and takes your mind on long journeys that always continue whenever you close your eyes. It is only in moments like these that I realise how much of a struggle every day has been for me, and I fall asleep listening to my hushed sobs trying not to wake up a person that isn´t even there anymore. I live alone. And after the longest time I realised. I am the person I try not to wake.
"I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother never to come out." Gosh, these lyrics perfectly describe how I'm feeling lately. Hope things will get better soon.
i saw them live in singapore, they were absolutely amazing. and elena was the cutest thing ever, she actually apologised because "the songs was too sad"
I'm so glad I found a music artist to whom I can finally relate to. I feel I care too much about people, and they don't really care about me. The scary thing is that, its hard to let go of those people.
I feel like a certain element of smothering occurs during a relationship whether it be during the beginning because a person goes into it with an open and youthful like optimistic approach or for a guarded person who begins to open up after their significant other has earned a little trust. This isn't due to a form of insecurity. We do this to babies smother them in affection and love. Its simply unfettered love. Hopeful and joyous. People try to cheapen it by putting labels on it but essentially its honesty
Brother: could you please turn this down? Me: I'M GOING THROUGH EMOTIONAL PERIOD STUFF! SHUT UP! But on a more serious note, this is so freaking beautiful.
I recently heard this watching the Netflix series "Between". They used two of her songs. This song and another. Loved Daughter for along time. Was shocked it was used in the series. Made me tear up and get chills.
Daughter is pure perfection... go watch the kexp live performance, they performed this song at the end and I can tell you that they sounded even better LIVE !!
I spent a long time being a suffocator. I felt bad because I cared for my friends and was always there for them, but they wouldn't be there for me. I tried my hardest to make my boyfriend happy but he prioritized other things over me. I made cookies for people and asked them how they were and gave them all my attention and counted every little effort I made. I never had a selfless thought for any of them. I just wanted to win the love I never got at home. It took me years to learn but loving isn't possessing. People don't exist to fill my emptiness, nor I theirs. I'm done smothering. Anxiety and depression are hell but I'm slowly being taught to hope. To look outside and wonder at the clouds and the leaves and be grateful. I have hope in God, that is, in Love and despair isn't going to take hold of this soul, no matter how lonely it gets. I hope everyone else in the comments experiences this same hope at some point in their lives. We are too beautiful to remain tragic stories.
This song is so sad, but if you're someone who can relate to it you may just be able to find some satisfaction knowing theres other people that feel the same way.
Here to let everyone know you’re gonna be okay, I was with someone for 6 years, there was always an absence with her. There wasn’t truth there was only a comfort in routine and before I asked her to marry me she cheated on me. After a two year long depression I found love, not only did I find happiness and something I never thought it existed. I found out she was my bestfriend, the love I’d been looking for was in front of me. I’m marrying her and I’ve never been more happy in my life. I prayed and prayed and God is great, love is whole, and pain is only a reminder to appreciate and learn. I hope everyone here finds their own answers to life. It exists, in one form or another
I've been struggling with a lot lately... This song is beautiful. It's like a lullaby for my darkness. The last lyrics of the song hit me hard. I wish I didn't exist sometimes... No one really knows what I've been going through, I'm to ashamed to tell anyone I know that I self harm. Also I can't ever explain exactly what is going on inside my head to anyone, it's a very scary place right now. I just hate myself so much. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how much longer I can take living like this...
Hi! Whatever it is you're struggling with right now, you really don't deserve it. Remember that storms always come to an end, that your happy moments will come, that you shouldn't give up. As for self harming, you have to seek for help, to go see a psychologist or a doctor or someone who can help you to stop this and fix the problems that give you bad thoughts. I hope you the best!
I think this is the song to best describe how I feel within myself. I genuinely believe with my whole entire being that nobody in this world truly truly loves me. Not my parents, not my siblings. I feel like I am suffocating everyone around me and that they’d be better off without me. That I am easily replaceable in this life, I struggle so much. I don’t even know how to love me: it’s like everything I do is not good, I am not enough. I know my mom cares for me as her child, she has the love that a mother has for her child but I don’t think she likes me very much. My dad? I feel like I’ve always tried so hard to get his favor. I’ve tried so hard for him all the time and I don’t think it’s ever been enough. I just don’t think he loves me or cares for me: Neither does my brother, I can’t think of anyone in this world who truly truly loves me and I wouldn’t blame him. I don’t even know if I have anything to give, sometimes I sit here and I’m crying but I feel so numb and I think to myself are these emotions even real? Am I lying to myself and all those around me? Am I being fake and selfish? I feel so numb. I don’t want to be here, but I’m so scared to not be here. I’m scared of what comes next. I just want to be okay and happy. Why can’t I be happy?
@@Themyzostros thank you, I forgot I wrote this comment it’s been so long ago. I appreciate you taking the time to write this though and I’m wishing you love and happiness!
I have always listened to this song thinking that the speaker was the abuser in a romantic relationship, and she realizes how toxic she was and is asking for forgiveness. That’s how I have always heard it. I was in an abusive relationship where my ex girlfriend was the abuser and I often did feel like I was being smothered. This song helped me let go of a lot of hate toward her, and I understand if others don’t interpret it the same way.
Those who are depressed and take there own lives never truly appreciate the hurt and damage they do to the still living that loved them. If you're not well, stop pouring more rain on yourself by listening to such music. It will pass, speak to somebody.
I didn't wanna risk my family hearing me cry so I went to my car to blast this and cry...and I just repeated it until I felt all cried out and quietly went back inside my apartment.
First heard her a few years ago. TH-cam now makes playlist based on liked videos. I liked "in the shallows" 2 years ago and from this its made a Daughter playlist. Gotta to say i'm happy it did. Some of these songs are breath taking.
I feel like everyone is missing the meaning of the song. It's about a person who discovers/recalls how harsh she was to the people around her. She was always disturbing them and suffocating them but she didn't realise it. But when she did realise it, she lost desire in life, and feels so weak, foolish, and "fragile spine" as in useless. What makes me understand this song is that I am living this moment right now. I'm hurting the people around me and apologising as soon as I realise it, but I'm always late. It hurts when you have that feeling. After that, she continues by saying how her body parts and remains would be helpful, unlike her when she was alive (in her POV). "What a mess I leave to follow..." meaning how even after she was dead, she left a mess behind, a mess that reminds how bad she was to this world, and how the things she left were unresolved. "I'm sorry if I smothered you", she goes on to apologise before she leaves... And the talk about her creator(s) is to emphasise how everyone and everything, even her creator(s) agreed she was a suffocator, a bad influence, unwanted. "I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside...my mother....never to come out", she goes on to realise how unwanted she was, how everyone would've been better without her. She wanted to die, to be nothing. The most beautiful thing in the world is to relate to someone, to have the same feelings, but life always likes to remind you how everything has an end....I hope this was good...
I can't say this is my favorite song out of all their other songs (their other songs are amazing), but I just really love to hear this over and over again.
I was 16 listening to this being a depressed teenager. I’m here now being 25 and still depressed. I don’t think any song has hit me as much as this song has hit me.
Imagine wishing you were a stillborn.. it takes a level of self-loathe to reach that place. I've been there. We've all been there. Sometimes the world can be so cruel, but oftentimes we are crueler to ourselves 💔 if you are reading this, God loves you so much. You don't have to love alone. Let him love you ❤
@@Eat_Acid the science and existence of this universe would not make sense if there was no God to create it, every existence goes back to him 🌏 God is very much real, and he knows everything about you, everything you've been through. He knows that you deny him every day, and he knows that many people have failed you while using his name, but he still loves you either way, and he only waits for you to give him a chance to prove it to you. God is willing to come to you but unlike the devil, he is a gentleman. He will not force himself onto you. He waits for you to go to him first with an open heart and open mind, that is how the Lord reveals himself to us, because he gave us the free will to decide for ourselves what to do with our earthly lives. But when you are willing to give him the opportunity to speak to your soul, then and only then can you know whether God is real.
There used to be a video on youtube with this song and a ufc fight between Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez. They beat the hell out of each other and it was so sad watching while listening to this. Beautiful and sad song.
"I'm sorry if I smothered you..." that line holds so much emotion.
same :(
Who else is up super late listening to a bunch of meaningful songs.
Hey could you give me any suggestions for songs? Thanks 😊
+David Vickers
hmmm... i like so many songs! My favourite from Daughter are Youth, Run and Smoke... :)
+David Vickers oh and candles.
Jessica B Thank you! I love songs like these I just struggle so hard finding them.
yes. I can't believe I haven't heard these songs . they're so beautiful
it's funny to me how everyone only relates to this song in a romantic way, while i relate all my mistakes and my entire life with this song.
I agree
Me too.
Agreed
dream girl sameeeee
I feel this on a spiritual level lol. I've made so many mistakes, "if I didn't learn to laugh at myself I'd be dead right now". -Chris Griffin
The fact that so many people share their stories in the comment section of a song says so much about this song. Evokes emotion. Happiness. Sadness. Anger. It's music like this that saves lives. Music is the door to the soul, something a lot of people don't quite understand. People like us, who know the weight and meaningfulness of music are the people who prevail. Stay strong. Live.
that's beautiful
Bautifully put, I always think of this and you've explained it better than me. Thank you :3
+AryanCOCONUT wow thats amazing and so true for all of the story tellers in the dawn to all the pen to paper 5am'ers
word, truth
Omg your profile name and picture. It's all so adorable. I can't take you seriously rn I'm sorry.
the worst is when you realize you've been wasting your time on someone who you don't mean as much to as they meant to you and you feel so stupid for caring so much.
Don't feel bad for caring. Ever. You deserve to feel.
Fuscia :)
+Senpai the worst part is when you had someone who cared for you so much and you took it for granted and now don't have her and realize how much you appreciated her now that shit hurts
I really connected to this comment...
Just got out of a long-term relationship with someone who never loved me. It hurts so much
Mom asks: how many times are you going to listen too that
Me: as many times for it to fill the hole in my soul
Haoma MusicBlood that's the spirit
Haoma MusicBlood same here and this song just makes me feel sad but happy in a way because i just think about waiting in till i met how someone really loves me
Haoma MusicBlood There's a hole in my soul, I can't fill it, I can't fill it...

"i sometimes wish i'd stayed inside
my mother
never to come out"
That hit me hard :/
There's always abortion :L
I know the feeling.
+secret nights well.. ARMYs are really everywhere xD
That part killed me :(
When you're alone at night just staring at the ceiling while it's raining outside thinking about life
Just described me
yuuuuuuup
XO Love you took the words before i tried to spoke it!
Infires Man ugh. That sounds like heaven, I wish I got to do that right now😣
For me it's more like, during the day staring up at the blue sky laying in the grass, thinking about life
The worst feeling is being hurt by someone who you loved but only used you...and then yourself becoming someone who hurts others because of it.
awww don't cry, craft. love x
I know that feeling :/ stay strong honey
Damn i feel u, me right now constantly thinking about that one female who turned me into this monster 😶
I'm going through the same deal and I feel your pain, I just hope you'll turn out alright in in the end. Stay strong Xx
How can someone be so cruel even knowing you will burn your hands in fire for them and then they betray you...lie and just find someone new in a few days...? Do the y really love the one who have replace you?
This my friend, this is called " hope that all social media and pop culture isn't lost." I love this beyond words.
can I like this again
Abby Milligan I know I was surprised when i saw how many views this has.pretty awesome
yarh, what is often ignored with daughter's music is the stunning musical composition, in texture, tempo, soundstrokes ....
so true!
"I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out"
Anyone else feel the chills when she sings that line?
"sometimes i wish i stayed inside my mother" I can relate so much to this...
forever broken sometimes i wish i died inside my mother, tbh
haha depressing much? that's the story of my life :D
xxlonely cloudxx lol

Getting high and listening to Daughter really helps me to relieve alot of the sadness, confusion, and darkness I always feel swirling inside the empty hole inside me. If only my boyfriend or friends understood my heart.
+Tina catz you just said everything for me with this comment :c i feel you
+Hannah Quackenbush yeah it is a shame. it reminds me that even when i have someone i am still always alone. but it isnt always such a bad thing. its a battle but you know in the end ill always win.
+Tina catz If it helps you feel better, everyone feels sadness, confusion and darkness. It comes from not feeling in control, and escaping with drugs only reinforces it. Stop running away. Face the darkness and do something to change it instead of feeling sorry for yourself
+Tina catz samee
This message is a call for hope and for HER. I went to the Daughter Concert in Luxembourg with a friend on the Saturday 17/11/2013. While the concert was playing, I noticed a girl who was on my right, she was looking at me for about 30 seconds without keeping her eyes off me, I looked her quickly but I did not dare look at her any other time. The reason why I'm writing this right now is that something made me feel extremly strange, though I could'nt catch it during the concert; Yet when I went back home, as I lied on my bed, I sudenly remembered that I've already seen that girl, I'm pretty sure, It was 10 years ago as we were kids, she loved me but I was to shy to even express how I felt for her there.
I'm now an 18 year old boy and today I'm just torn appart for having been so shy again and let the chance run away.
Don't you feel sometimes like life's mocking you and reapiting things over and over again until you find the key to solve the problem?
TH-cam is maybe the last chance that I have to find her, or we will never even have a talk, we will just forget and begin another thing, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, until I have a chance, until we have one, I will not let it fall down.
That's what I remember concerning herself
She is tall, with brown and long curly hairs, she was standing on the right close to the stage, I was on the middle a bit behind her. If you know her, of if you ARE her, contact me on my youtube message, let me know you've seen that... (ozerion2103@gmail.com)
if you can remember I had short-medium lenght brown hairs and blue eyes, I weared a dark blue jeans and a light colored pullover.
Thanks for your attention, I wish you love and all the good things the world has, Daughter is a good start, that's the right way!:)
Bye
Kindred spirits? Some don't believe in them,but,i do. Find her! You were both meant to find each other. When you do,you'll see and understand what i mean. Good luck! SMILE! You could be past lovers or past old friends....could be in an other life? Who knows?
I think I'm starting believing in it, thanks for your message, I'll do all my best for it to happen :)
I dont know what to say ...just hope you find her and if you see her dont lose the chance to talk to her im 18 like you and i totally know what you mean and felt not cuz im same age as you but from the same experience :)
This is quite possibly one of the sweetest things I've ever read. I really hope you find her.
Oreste2103 I cried! This is so beautiful and I believe you're meant to be... you can find her...
'I want all that is not mine
I want him but we're not right'
That boy with his poetry and charm, how easy it was for him to take my heart, my mind and space in my head, now left aching and absent.
I'm selfish, I want him, but he's not mine to have
faerth I have the same problem, it really sucks. I'm sorry you're going through that, it's the worse kind of heartache
Whose the selfish one if he new and she didn't
I want to hug everyone in this comment section

HUG!!!
Capo DELPAESE no thanks
these lyrics are more meaningful then anyone could imagine
***** oh wow haha, what a small world :)
the world is huge btw
she can sing a single line and i'll start crying
My favorite line is "I think I should go now quietly, for my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep" Because this is how I feel after a really long cry, or when my depression has devoured me, or especially after an anxiety attack
Her voice and many of her songs give me chills... she's amazing.
I love this picture, when you stare at it for a while it seems like the jaws are trying to move as if she's trying to say something but she just cant because she's in awe
That's so trippy...
oh you r so right

I've only heard a few songs, but I'm already in love with this band. It's incredible music.
My whole life, I've been told that I can. I can win, I can do this, I can do that. I was told I have the power to change the world, the brains to make a difference, the heart to touch millions. I know most of people think that that is a good thing. I'm being told I can do anything - isn't that much more than what many others get in a lifetime? But the thing is, what if, after working my ass off trying to meet these crazy expectations, these sky high standards, and I ultimately fail... who am I? Just a girl who disappoints her family. Just a girl who will end up going to some community college when all her fucking life, she was determined to go somewhere amazing. Do spectacular things. Just a girl, who is drowning, suffocating, in the expectations of those who are supposed to support her through deep and shallow, thick and thin. Just a girl, who is a failure.
God, I can relate to you in so many ways. I'm drowning, and the worst part is that I do it to myself..
+Allison Waters :(
You are who you strive to be. You are not your failures, you are the brightness you bring everywhere, you are not a disappointment, but someone who your family supports, no matter if you win or lose.
I know it's easier said than done to believe this, but just believe. I wanna fall down into a hole, but I don't..
+Allison Waters Get a high GPA and then transfer to a university. People do that all the time. Then you can pursue a field you want to at a prestigious school.
Even if you try your absolute hardest. there is no guarantee you'll make it. but if others have, you will 💙 Stay positive. I wish you good luck :3
I believe human are resilient enough to live on this earth no matter how difficult life will be, that will include you too. What we chase and we get will not always the same but I do believe we will receive what we need. I hope life will get better for you
I feel like I invest too much in the people around me and build them up to be better friends than they actually are and then I just disappoint myself when they let me down.
I know that feeling, yo.
Hey there, here's my Facebook if you want to talk or something 😅 Caroline Melikoff (add both)
Caroline Melikoff Aw thank you. I don't use Facebook but it's really sweet of you to offer to talk to me.
I think that it is just something that every person deals with at some point in their lives. You're not the only one but you know, it makes you the person who you are and you come out even stronger than before. Just think about yourself, be the change that you want to see and don't let others choices and decisions bring you down. After all they don't define you, you define yourself.
africkso same. Unbelievably so.
This song has intuitively hugged me, as for many of Daughter's music. For some reason, after meeting Daughter (literally) I felt inside me open a box of untapped memories, emotions and feelings I havent felt in awhile. listening to them, isnt the same - i think its because deep down i know that much my life, or many of us have felt this very feeling of uncertainty and pain.
Much of how a lot of people here say they feel unappreciated - well listen, thats why im here. I feel the same, I think we all do. But I sometimes think, our kindness is taken for grated, but you shouldnt take your own kindness for grated. You been there for people - though at times, remember this at those crucial times, be there for yourself.
because youre full of love.
Elena's favorite signature is "So much love!♡"
youre filled with so much kindness and gentle hearted. If youre reading this, and feel alone. hugged yourself and know you aren't there's many like us
and whenever you feel lonely, ponder all the good you have done for others.
Pull up a second tab, and play Rain sounds, in background, along with this song....perfect
OMG THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUGGESTING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No problem:)
that is perfect thanks
Anytime (: you can do that with other songs of hers as well!
Paige Martin Yeah it works with Intro by The XX
I'm REALLY not hooking for any attention here I swear but I love this song because I'm a Catholic teen who's having some sexuality changes that I'm trying to manage so the lyrics that say "I want him but we're not right" "in the darkness I will meet my creators" stuff like that, hits me like cold water. Ily Daughter 💙
+Jonathan Stike Just remember, God loves you for you.
lol hooking up
+Jonathan Stike u are loved
I always have to think about your story when I'm listening to this song now
I'm positive God loves you just as much everyone else. I think at the end of the day we are judged by our actions and treatment of others, not by who we fall in love with.
The worst feeling in the world is falling in love with someone that doesn't love you the same way :(
+CheesusChristGames Yep...
Agreed. I'm technically single, but my heart belongs to someone I can't call my own.
+CheesusChristGames Feeling your pain bros... Felt the same for many years.
yeah.
Oh yes,and if you think you have a chance...
i love song like this, it make me feel in another world, who just exist me and this music and nobody else.
Exactly how I feel!
i was stuck in a spiral of depression a year ago and this was my song i was on the brink and i'm glad i can come back to this song with a fresh mind knowing things get better
I come back to this so often and still I could cry every time
Sometimes my own stupidity amazes me, like caring about someone so deeply only to realize that they don't care. I don't blame them though and you can't force someone to love you. Smh.
Emi Hayashi same..
michelle slasssh Sometimes you have to stop crossing oceans for people, who wouldn't jump puddles for you. You deserve *better*. Good luck mate!
Emi Hayashi for real but I feel like that with everyone I know
Emi Hayashi Wonderfully said. Your words should be put in a song.
Creepy Bunny Haha, thanks mate! :)
i’m so glad my constant feelings of never wanting to exist are over. i’m listening to this song for the first time and memories of all those feelings are running through my brain. i let myself be happy finally and i’m so glad i did. it really does get better. sorry about just another vague positive story about holding on, but i hope you use this and apply it to your life. even letting in just a little bit of light in your life does change it little by little.
This song hits home on so many levels.... it sums up how ive felt my entire life (not relationship wise) just....... in general.... perpetual sadness..... despair.... suffocating all those around me.... eventually im just going to go through with it... and just....
"go now quietly....." eventually.. just havent worked myself up to it.. promised myself not too years ago... I feel I have to help people and do what I have to do on this earth and give back to it.....
then again I stare in the mirror everyday and just.... feel so alien... so alone.....
I smothered all those Ive ever loved..
and I feel at times I may help the world. help people. give smiles others....
but end up dying alone.... staring at the ceiling wondering what Ive done..... all the things ive ever done....
ill just be another statistic.... a forgotten memory.. with a crying mother....
i love her songs so much. Just lay down at night and watch the stars with someone while listening to some of her songs. I always do this every night i just need someone to share that amazing moment with and trust me... it feels amazing! :3
I was on a live concert of Daughter in cologne, 2016 and overall it was just magical I never was on a concert before and Daughter being my first was definitely one of my best choices in life but when Smother started playing I was just hypnotized standing there and for a moment Elena looked at me and at that moment I really forgot everything around me. It was like if everything didn't exist (or has ever existed) around me except the music, Daughter on the stage and me listening to it, even if it was for just a tiny moment it felt like so much longer. Not entirely sure how else to explain it but I can say it was a once in a life time experience I will hold onto very dearly. I recommend going on a Daughter concert because all the people listening with you to them are super kind, chill and obviously have a great taste in music so you will feel like you are in the right place to be
I would never be able to sing this without bursting to tears.
Two years ago i used to listen to this song constantly. And it prevented me from killing myself. I love this song and the deep meaning behind it it's so sad and peaceful and calm.
This comment section is the most wholesome and genuine
thing I’ve ever read
ugh, i just love, love this song. Not just the words but the music, the part where it starts "to follow" and the beat picks up, it feels I am drowning in so many things.
This type of music should be on the radio and trending. Not all those other singer nowadays were there's barely some good lyrics. Those type of songs can actually save lives...
It's better while underrated
Just browsing TH-cam and came across Daughter. I must say,her voice sure lull me. How interesting how someones voice can cause an unforgettable impact. Especially certain moods we may be in,the right music and voice sets the tone and you just feel lost in it. I think she has a capturing and captivating voice. I really like it.
everyone who listens to this song under their covers with teary eyes gets a free hug. nvm anyone at all who listens to this song gets a free hug, ily
Who else thought it was "I'm sorry if I smiled at you." Never payed so much attention to the lyrics on this song, I really love Daughter's lyrics.
I am so incredibly grateful that I got to hear this live and even more so excited that I get to see the them perform again in March. I'm still left speechless and in tears every time I listen to this song. All the love to Elena, Igor, and Remi x
I get into this mood when I’m listening to music like this and then a face book ad at full blast rapes my eardrums and kills it. Thank you for that....
This is taking me back to when I was 12 and depressed. Only now here I am back at 19
I know how it feels..
Song gave me a chill like no other. Before giving my life over to Christ I really struggled with identity, with with purpose. I was such a scared man that I could not hold on to a woman, those last lyrics rang true for me with every relationship I tried to have before then "I'm sorry if I smothered you". The dark hole I dug myself into seemed hopeless until Christ found me. I used to feel disgusting, unwanted, unloved.
The day I met Christ changed all this. He showed me my value through his love, through his sacrifice and longing to be with me. He showed I was more than loved, I was sought after. He showed me that even if the world didn't see it, I had a value worth a perfect mans life, he showed me the blessings in my life that were invisible to me before. I don't share this to try and "convert" any one, I share it because that's my story, it's the reality of my life. If you don't believe me that's fine, to each his own, but I cannot be the same man I once was, I now have hope, purpose, and blessings far more than I could count. When I heard this song that dark past seemed so close, yet I knew it was not me anymore, I couldn't help but weep when hearing this it showed me what I used to feel like, and most of all, it showed me how incredible God is that he would pluck me from that darkness.
He truly does change lives.
Fumei Unknown I sense a bit of resentment of my comment?
If you have something to say Fumei then be clear. A comment like that wont get anyone anywhere.
I am not religious or something but i love to hear that people can actually get out of that hole. Get out of that struggle in their minds and be free as they want to be.
I dont care how this people do! May it be religion, meditation or whatsoever.. It doesnt matter which religion it is this person found himself through. Its about the fact that he did! Which is just beautiful.
This is great.. Have a blessed life my friend.
+John Dominy Sorry you need an imaginary friend to feel complete, these disgusts you've been told to have with yourself are imaginary, just like your Christ. To dig yourself out of a hole you need not cry for absoloution but dig yourself less you become a weak worm.
Sheldonthesnail Sorry you need to put down someone elses joy and happiness to feel better about yourself. who do you think is really more joyful about their life, the person who feels this overwhelming need to disclaim someones faith, or the guy who could care less about your negativity? and really? These disgusts are imaginary? have fun believing your some perfect child who deserves everyones love and attention, because first of all, you have no idea who I am, and secondly, you are utterly dillusional if you dont see the mistakes youve made and feel remorse for them. Sorry buddy, but your "more enlightened than though" attitude is not intimidating anyone. get over yourself.
One of my "friends" are always crying and I'm always there to comfort her. When I need someone none are there. I beleive everyone is just using me. Fake Friends. That is my biggest fear just being used and not meaning anything to someone. Like im just a roll of toilet paper...
+MSHS61603520 thank you so very much!
I know exactly what u mean. I'm always helping my "friends" giving them advice and comfort but if I'm sad and just really really hurt, everyone seems to be busy somehow. and if they're not, they just ignore my silence when they notice it.
But u know what? they turn us, good people, with a kind heart, into bad ones and I'm not just going to accept that. or better we. that's why I decided not long ago, and u should too, and everyone else who's going through this kind of bullshit, that we should just leave them. These miserable friends that are more like living hells than true helpers. Bc we don't need this bullshit. and if u think u'll be lonely without them.. of course u will. but just until u find new friends. better people u can feel waaaay more comfortable with. And believe me, it's definitely worth waiting. So just fuck them and leave them. and then maybe they'll finally realise what an awesome person they lost!
you are worth more than just a "used-for-bad-times-friend" ♡♡
fighting!♡
I have a "friend" who has a bad health period and she's away from her family, I always help her and comfort her also and in the end she just be like.. No one is there for me here .. Such a drama queen >_>
+banu p dude, salute.
+Martin Sibara thank you:')
I keep on thinking that I always meet the wrong guys.. and I must say this song.. THIS BLOODY SONG and the lyrics .. I had an absolute awakening.. like suddenly everything is so clear..
I haven't had chills like this from a song in years. This song is profound.
I've never found a song that portrays exactly how I'm feeling. Word for word. Maybe a line or two will resonate with me, but nothing like this. Every line is so powerful, I can feel my heart break with every listen. I sent someone this song in the hope that they would understand that this is exactly how I feel. That they would listen to it and realize how desperate I am for someone to know, but just can't speak the words. The meaning behind the lyrics was totally lost on them, and I'm left wondering how someone can listen to this incredibly moving, heart wrenching song and miss that.
"All my kids can become me"
I hope that doesn't happen ...
+Teo MoonLight I don't think the song is implying that they will, hence it's 'can'. Maybe she's melancholious of the underlying fear that they might actually grow up to be so broken, bad, or whatever.
I know that I just wish it wouldn't happen to me because well ...yeah .
+Teo MoonLight exactly what you're saying is followed in the next line "what a mess I'll leave to follow." expressing the same fear.
That's one of the reasons why I don't want any children. I don't want the same terrible fates I'm experiencing with my family to be past down through me to them. I wouldn't let that happen, even if it'll mean to never have a baby, I'll make that sacrifice..
@@Natalie-cv2nt Yes. I knew that if I had kids, they would suffer horribly, so I didn't want any. But my husband wanted lots of them. After the divorce, he did the Parental Alienation thing and now my Daughter thinks I'm just a piece of shit and she is smoking and drinking herself to death. My Son doesn't know what to do or how to be. Truly, it would have been better had I never been born.
This song is beautiful.. I listen to this song too much. Omg. Perfection.
I went to your concert when you were in my city. I can, with an honest heart say, that it was the most incredible experience in my entire life. Not only has your music shaped me as a person, but also gave me somewhat of a place of refuge for my deepest thoughts and darkest feelings. It´s quite hard to go through life smiling and doing everything that is expected of you, when in truth, deep inside of you there is a pain that only grows and grows, and after the years continues to tighten around your neck, only releasing you in those few moments on friday nights, when the whole world is silent, the sky is a dark grey, there are people scattered across the dangerous streets, but you can just stay in your bed, hide behind the curtains and listen to something that really has meaning and value to you, and takes your mind on long journeys that always continue whenever you close your eyes. It is only in moments like these that I realise how much of a struggle every day has been for me, and I fall asleep listening to my hushed sobs trying not to wake up a person that isn´t even there anymore. I live alone. And after the longest time I realised. I am the person I try not to wake.
Sansa Stark whoa...
"I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother never to come out." Gosh, these lyrics perfectly describe how I'm feeling lately. Hope things will get better soon.
Daughter definitely writes the soundtrack for my life.
i saw them live in singapore, they were absolutely amazing. and elena was the cutest thing ever, she actually apologised because "the songs was too sad"
this song is like a punch in the gut
More like a punch in the feels.
I'm so glad I found a music artist to whom I can finally relate to. I feel I care too much about people, and they don't really care about me. The scary thing is that, its hard to let go of those people.
The worst thing is knowing you smother others because you get attached easily. The best is knowing your not who you used to be. Keep growing !
I feel like a certain element of smothering occurs during a relationship whether it be during the beginning because a person goes into it with an open and youthful like optimistic approach or for a guarded person who begins to open up after their significant other has earned a little trust. This isn't due to a form of insecurity. We do this to babies smother them in affection and love. Its simply unfettered love. Hopeful and joyous. People try to cheapen it by putting labels on it but essentially its honesty
mluvese this is an amazing comment
Auva Stratos thankyou
*INSERT GROSS SOBBING SOUND EFFECTS HERE*
*half ugly crying, half ugly laughing*
*•Deep inhales•* *•sobbing uncontrollably•* *•snotty nosed snorting•*
I don't think any crying is ugly tbh...I think it's a bittersweet semblance of being broken but still feeling.
This song perfectly encapsulates exactly my feelings. If I choose to end it, this will be my go to song
are you still here with us? :( really hope you are and doing better
This is just so pure talent,it cures my soul.. whenever I feel down,and alone,she helps me to deal with my emotions..
Brother: could you please turn this down?
Me: I'M GOING THROUGH EMOTIONAL PERIOD STUFF! SHUT UP!
But on a more serious note, this is so freaking beautiful.
#sorrynotsorryifIsmotheredyou
Gözde Balcı a whovian?
ohhh I don't know Doctor Who :P that's why
Crystal Lefebvre its a show.
Yes I know that, I meant I don't watch it haha :)
I recently heard this watching the Netflix series "Between". They used two of her songs. This song and another. Loved Daughter for along time. Was shocked it was used in the series. Made me tear up and get chills.
This song saves me every day
Daughter is pure perfection... go watch the kexp live performance, they performed this song at the end and I can tell you that they sounded even better LIVE !!
They're perfect live!!
recovering from a heavy heroin addiction, and this song helps me through my cravings. amazing how music can heal someone.
I spent a long time being a suffocator. I felt bad because I cared for my friends and was always there for them, but they wouldn't be there for me. I tried my hardest to make my boyfriend happy but he prioritized other things over me. I made cookies for people and asked them how they were and gave them all my attention and counted every little effort I made.
I never had a selfless thought for any of them. I just wanted to win the love I never got at home. It took me years to learn but loving isn't possessing. People don't exist to fill my emptiness, nor I theirs. I'm done smothering. Anxiety and depression are hell but I'm slowly being taught to hope. To look outside and wonder at the clouds and the leaves and be grateful. I have hope in God, that is, in Love and despair isn't going to take hold of this soul, no matter how lonely it gets. I hope everyone else in the comments experiences this same hope at some point in their lives. We are too beautiful to remain tragic stories.
This song is so sad, but if you're someone who can relate to it you may just be able to find some satisfaction knowing theres other people that feel the same way.
why would i ever get satisfaction out of people feeling suicidal
Everyone on this side of TH-cam is so well spoken
Here to let everyone know you’re gonna be okay, I was with someone for 6 years, there was always an absence with her. There wasn’t truth there was only a comfort in routine and before I asked her to marry me she cheated on me. After a two year long depression I found love, not only did I find happiness and something I never thought it existed. I found out she was my bestfriend, the love I’d been looking for was in front of me. I’m marrying her and I’ve never been more happy in my life. I prayed and prayed and God is great, love is whole, and pain is only a reminder to appreciate and learn. I hope everyone here finds their own answers to life. It exists, in one form or another
Congratulations! You're in my prayers :)
I've been struggling with a lot lately... This song is beautiful. It's like a lullaby for my darkness. The last lyrics of the song hit me hard. I wish I didn't exist sometimes... No one really knows what I've been going through, I'm to ashamed to tell anyone I know that I self harm. Also I can't ever explain exactly what is going on inside my head to anyone, it's a very scary place right now. I just hate myself so much. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know how much longer I can take living like this...
Hi! Whatever it is you're struggling with right now, you really don't deserve it. Remember that storms always come to an end, that your happy moments will come, that you shouldn't give up. As for self harming, you have to seek for help, to go see a psychologist or a doctor or someone who can help you to stop this and fix the problems that give you bad thoughts. I hope you the best!
I think this is the song to best describe how I feel within myself.
I genuinely believe with my whole entire being that nobody in this world truly truly loves me. Not my parents, not my siblings. I feel like I am suffocating everyone around me and that they’d be better off without me.
That I am easily replaceable in this life, I struggle so much. I don’t even know how to love me: it’s like everything I do is not good, I am not enough.
I know my mom cares for me as her child, she has the love that a mother has for her child but I don’t think she likes me very much.
My dad? I feel like I’ve always tried so hard to get his favor. I’ve tried so hard for him all the time and I don’t think it’s ever been enough. I just don’t think he loves me or cares for me:
Neither does my brother, I can’t think of anyone in this world who truly truly loves me and I wouldn’t blame him. I don’t even know if I have anything to give, sometimes I sit here and I’m crying but I feel so numb and I think to myself are these emotions even real? Am I lying to myself and all those around me? Am I being fake and selfish? I feel so numb.
I don’t want to be here, but I’m so scared to not be here. I’m scared of what comes next. I just want to be okay and happy. Why can’t I be happy?
Hope everything is ok there’s a life ahead of you , someone loves you
@@Themyzostros thank you, I forgot I wrote this comment it’s been so long ago. I appreciate you taking the time to write this though and I’m wishing you love and happiness!
I think.. I´m in love with this song, love you Daughter
This song is so beautiful... but so sad.

Stop spamming.
God dammit the feels just stabbed me again.
yeah ....
I have always listened to this song thinking that the speaker was the abuser in a romantic relationship, and she realizes how toxic she was and is asking for forgiveness. That’s how I have always heard it. I was in an abusive relationship where my ex girlfriend was the abuser and I often did feel like I was being smothered. This song helped me let go of a lot of hate toward her, and I understand if others don’t interpret it the same way.
The comments to these videos and the music is all I need on a bad day
i love her chill voice it calms me
Those who are depressed and take there own lives never truly appreciate the hurt and damage they do to the still living that loved them.
If you're not well, stop pouring more rain on yourself by listening to such music. It will pass, speak to somebody.
anyone staying up late..and crying..?
yes.
Kat S We all are...
I didn't wanna risk my family hearing me cry so I went to my car to blast this and cry...and I just repeated it until I felt all cried out and quietly went back inside my apartment.
"I Sometimes wished I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out "♥️ feel this in my soul
First heard her a few years ago. TH-cam now makes playlist based on liked videos. I liked "in the shallows" 2 years ago and from this its made a Daughter playlist. Gotta to say i'm happy it did. Some of these songs are breath taking.
Shit, this makes me sad, but this is so good, damn it
I feel like everyone is missing the meaning of the song. It's about a person who discovers/recalls how harsh she was to the people around her. She was always disturbing them and suffocating them but she didn't realise it. But when she did realise it, she lost desire in life, and feels so weak, foolish, and "fragile spine" as in useless. What makes me understand this song is that I am living this moment right now. I'm hurting the people around me and apologising as soon as I realise it, but I'm always late. It hurts when you have that feeling. After that, she continues by saying how her body parts and remains would be helpful, unlike her when she was alive (in her POV). "What a mess I leave to follow..." meaning how even after she was dead, she left a mess behind, a mess that reminds how bad she was to this world, and how the things she left were unresolved. "I'm sorry if I smothered you", she goes on to apologise before she leaves... And the talk about her creator(s) is to emphasise how everyone and everything, even her creator(s) agreed she was a suffocator, a bad influence, unwanted. "I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside...my mother....never to come out", she goes on to realise how unwanted she was, how everyone would've been better without her. She wanted to die, to be nothing. The most beautiful thing in the world is to relate to someone, to have the same feelings, but life always likes to remind you how everything has an end....I hope this was good...
This song is too much for me, so good!
I can't say this is my favorite song out of all their other songs (their other songs are amazing), but I just really love to hear this over and over again.
I was 16 listening to this being a depressed teenager. I’m here now being 25 and still depressed. I don’t think any song has hit me as much as this song has hit me.
You sound like Cat POWER!!
"In the darkness I will meet my creators, and they will all agree, i'm a suffocater"
i want him but we're not right ❇

Imagine wishing you were a stillborn.. it takes a level of self-loathe to reach that place. I've been there. We've all been there. Sometimes the world can be so cruel, but oftentimes we are crueler to ourselves 💔
if you are reading this, God loves you so much. You don't have to love alone. Let him love you ❤
There's no God
@@Eat_Acid the science and existence of this universe would not make sense if there was no God to create it, every existence goes back to him 🌏 God is very much real, and he knows everything about you, everything you've been through. He knows that you deny him every day, and he knows that many people have failed you while using his name, but he still loves you either way, and he only waits for you to give him a chance to prove it to you. God is willing to come to you but unlike the devil, he is a gentleman. He will not force himself onto you. He waits for you to go to him first with an open heart and open mind, that is how the Lord reveals himself to us, because he gave us the free will to decide for ourselves what to do with our earthly lives. But when you are willing to give him the opportunity to speak to your soul, then and only then can you know whether God is real.
There used to be a video on youtube with this song and a ufc fight between Gilbert Melendez and Diego Sanchez. They beat the hell out of each other and it was so sad watching while listening to this. Beautiful and sad song.
