*This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten. The lost, the broke, and defeated.* This is for anyone who's gone through heartache, or troubles. From getting yelled at or ignored, to losing a family member. This is for anyone who feels lost and afraid. *A song for the heartsick, for the standbys. Living life in the shadow of a goodbye.* This is for anyone who's in need of a friend, someone who'll listen. The neglected, the ignored, the abused, the cheated on. The depressed, the upset. *Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd make believe we were young and had time on our side.* As a kid, we are an unshaped lump of clay. No matter what shape we end up in, there will always be bruises, there will always be scars, and fingerprints. And we will never be perfect. *You're stuck on the ground, got lost can't be found.* We all have moments where we feel alone. Where we feel like there's no-one who gets us, when we feel like the world would be better without us. *Just remember that you're still alive* _But it gets better._ No matter what, it gets better. It starts as simple as telling yourself everyday that you're worth it. It starts as simple as telling a trusted friend your troubles. It starts as simple as consoling in a friend, a parent, perhaps someone you've met over the internet, maybe even yourself. _It gets better_ _Trust me, I know._
Wisdom I’m sorry for being negative. You are right don’t get me wrong, but I’ve done all I could and it’s time for me to stop and give up. Sometimes even if you try to fight for so long. Wait for so long. Hold on to “Hope” for so long, and tell your trusted people about your troubles, it won’t make a difference because it’s deeply imbedded in you. The pain, agony, sadness, frustration, hate, anger, and many more suffering. But do you and I do me
@@NoxiousStar Wait, it doesn't have to be over. It's okay to suffer, to feel despear, but don't stop, keep pushing, or don't, just go with the flow, keep staying alive, that's enough. Just please don't stop
I feel the same way, I was involved in a car accident(a car hit me on a zebra crossing) at age 7 and I can't remember anything before this and I have random gaps in my memory(about 2/3 year gaps) only having from June 2019 being crystal clear. On top of this most of my "friends" didn't except me after I came out as gay(almost my entire secondary school hated me after they outed me to every one).
@@abbybayer9815 we don't like seeing others end up like us. We instinctively try to help each other no matter how we hurt (there are exemptions like asshole bullies and the like)
My husband struggles with PTSD from the military and I played him this song because he is so much stronger than he knows. He's my hero and he doesn't know that I look up to him so much. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here, I'm so happy he is in my life and he has a heart of gold. He still manages to put a smile on my face everyday. Here's to you baby ❤️ You are my hero!
This was posted three years ago but on the off chance you're paying attention. Let him know his fight is worth it. He's not just your hero, he *is* a hero. And I hope you both the best.
The loneliest people are the kindest The sadest people smile the brightest The most damaged people are the wisest All because they don't want to see anyone suffer the way they do Not my words but spread them
This is just weird - i clicked on a comment dug through the songs and happened to click this - and there is My Poem! I left it on "she's like the wind" by Patrick swayze - glad to see it passed along, so Thanks!
Now you've given me the idea to buy a notebook, scribble a whole song like this on it, bring it on a long road trip or something, then just leave the notebook beside someone in hopes they'll read and keep it Would help me put all my art supplies to actual good use lol
I stumbled upon this song today. My friend passed away the 26th and I had sent him a text saying I'm always here for you that same night... Idk if it got to him in time. But I hoped he knew so many loved him. ; Keep marching on.
when I was a baby, I suffered a sever stroke that we are still unsure of the cause. it affected the entire right side of my body. I spent the first 3 years of my life learning how to walk, and fortunately that came easy, but my hand was a different story. I spent most of my young childhood doing physical therapy for my hand. when we tried surgery, the doctor concluded that my hand would never be a working hand. strangely, I'm not bothered by this. sure, there are some difficulties I face that might be simple tasks for others, but I've learned to adapt throughout everything that I come across so much that I'm used to it. in a way, I'm glad I am the way i am. I believe that certain things can happen to us that shapes who we are in the long run. I'm very happy w/ who I am and it's because I've overcome this disability in more ways then one. to anybody who feels stuck or lost because of a disability, don't give up. I know it's going to be hard to get through, but as long as you remain strong, determined, and brave, you will get through. remember, you are NOT alone....
To anyone who is suicidal, depressed, bullied or is dealing with other problems that aren't listed, just remeber that you're not alone. There is always that one person who can light up your world in the darkest of times, even if you don't think so. You are a wonderful person and you should be proud of your scars. It's proof that you tried. That you survived even when you thought you were gonna break. And that means something. So, stay safe.
Dear society, Depression isn't an option, if it was... we wouldn't be like this. Just because we have parents, just because our grades our high, just because we sleep on a bed, just because we have food to eat, just because people call us by our names...doesn't mean we have to be happy. Depression sneaks up behind our backs. It does not reflect what kind of life we have, it reflects on the demons inside us. The demons only we can see and understand. Don't play along, saying you know how it feels when you push us around and force us to keep that same fading smile day by day until night finally falls and we fall too. Sometimes, society is dumb. Depression isn't an option, it isn't a sin. But it's not okay if you let depression take you over completely.
I read this and immediately started thinking back on my life.. Words I couldn't have said becuase I don't know how to actually say it. I grew up in an unstable environment keeping everything in and blocking everyone out.. I'm not the person I am as I was then.. I'm completely different now. Thanks for the thoughts dude. (Just a general term I use for everyone)
KyuunRin Lee this is me, people say my life is perfect and I have no reason to be sad, but I still am, I still cry, I still use faked smiles and forced laughs, and I still feel empty inside. yet this song always seems to make me feel better because I'm not about to give up, not when this is playing through my head
Im...speechless.....your words just almost made me cry...i went through this before it is TEMPORARY im happy now, i know im not the happiest as i used to be but things DO get BETTER! There are times were i get extreamly depressed... And thats normal! Its completely ok to cry... Its ok to be sad... But you always have to remember you were put here for a reason...not to just throw it away...
no one cares, but i feel like this is a good enough place to leave this here. i'm 14 years old girl. i live in england, but i was born abroad and my parents were immigrants. we gained citizenship a long time ago, i have no worries about that. i live in a good country, with a 'bad' skin colour. the majority of my life i've been discriminated for having brown skin. most of it is colourism, which is the saddest bit of it all. yeah, i've been called 'terrorist' multiple times but for some reason that hurts less than other brown people comparing skin colours and you sitting on the side knowing you don't have to put your hand next to theirs to know you're the darkest. it got to the point where i was embarrassed to walk in front of people because of my skin colour. brown people using racist slurs against black people. brown people using skin whitening cream because society have taught them to hate their skin colour so much. i don't care about this anymore. i love my brown skin now. it took a while, but i love it, it's beautiful and a part of me. but at the time when i first started experiencing discrimination, i separated myself from everyone. i became nasty and mean. i was horrible to some people, just because i felt i had to lash out. innocent people. i'd call myself a bully. i was so cruel, always taunting them. but i still had tonnes of friends, and i wish i didn't because it made me think it was okay, to treat people like that. it's not. i began suffering from anxiety, and i was soon after diagnosed with adhd. both these things have stayed with me for three years now, and it's a part of me lots of people find hard to struggle with. i've pushed people away by revealing my problems to them. my ex-boyfriend used it against me after an argument, posting a video of me in the midst of an intense panic attack to 'get back at me'. i was at my weakest, and he exposed me to the world like that. it was horrible, but i felt like i deserved it. for all i'd done to people, for not being nice enough to people. i didn't do anything about it. everything about my life felt like a waste after that, and i honestly felt like there was no point in me being alive. i thought everything i did affected other people badly, and that i was a burden. nothing but a breathing, walking, talking burden. i kept my problems to myself, cut myself where no one to see. it was stupid, it didnt get rid of the pain, so i'd go deeper. i don't understand exactly why i did it now, and i still have a faint scar where i cut particularly deep. this sounds like a sob story, i know. but it gets better. i started to realise the beauty in life - my friend helped me to. i'm now hopelessly crushing on him, but that doesn't matter. he's the one i hold closest to my heart, and i can always count on him more than anyone. he's beautiful, and he actually loves me. he taught me to see the light in things, he's bandaged my battle scars. i've become a way more optimistic, peaceful person. ive learnt to accept my flaws, my little bad habits and love them. i've become a way better person, nicer, happier. most of the time i'm smiling. i'm known as that happy, cheerful person at school that you can go to when you're upset. it makes me happy to know that. that my life has turned itself around, and it's hopefully going to stay this way. of course, there'll be hardships, but i'm strong enough to deal with them properly now. i'm looking forward to the rest of my life. if you've managed to read this far, i want to leave a little message. there's probably such a tiny amount of people who sees this, but if i can make someone happy for even a second, why not? don't stop fighting. things will turn out better, i promise you that. the light will flicker, sometimes the light will be blown out completely, by the air or by a person. all you have to do is find a match. it may take a while, you may forget where you left it, but you'll find it, and the light will come back. please never give up. you're loved.
gguk's - First I just have to say it your ex was a complete jerk for doing that to you and second I’m glad you found someone to help you see the good things in life and I hope things will continue to be good for you. Your right things do get better it just takes a little time
Good words! I'm so glad things got better for you! It makes me feel like an utter fool for making big things over small things. These comments really reminded me of how much harder things are for most people. I hope everything goes well for all of you! ^^
I'm a violinist, a singer. I want to learn how to animate. I want to learn how to create games. I'm love to draw but I'm not good at it. I want to create music. I want to inspire people. People say I'm a good writer. I'm not depressed, but I have no idea what to do in life and I'm afraid that I won't find the answer in time. This... is amazing.
I too am learning how to animate, I'm a sophomore in college, I'm fairly good at drawing cartoons but not very good at software or computer stuff. You want to know the best advice that has kept me going? Be stubborn. Be stubborn as you possibly can and just keep at it and don't stop for anybody or anything, no matter what they say. I'm not going to guarantee you'll figure out your entire life after reading this, but I hope you'll at least look at it and consider it. I've always considered myself to be a dumb sack of shit sometimes, but because of me being a stubborn moron I managed to pull through in the end. It was hard, very hard. I've had to pull a few all nighters and not do what I wanted to do over the weekend. But I managed to pull through, not because I was the smartest or most talented, but because I was too damn stubborn to give up. And I think that is the advice that can help people accomplish even the most difficult of tasks.
I feel you, I also like to draw and what to help others. And want to learn how to animate. But I have a fear of not knowing what to do. Or what to choose in life.
Check out skill share and see other animators! (Jeez I'm doing adds but it works anyway) Skill share can help sort out how to start and how animating works and stuff.
LOL WHY YA'LL CRY, I DONT HAVE FEELINGS!!! I CANT FEEL FEELINGS!! IT WAS WHAT I WAS BORN WITH , I HAVE A DESISE WERE I CANT FEEL FEELINGS!!!! WHHYYYYYY!! I CANT CRY CUASE I DONT HAVE FEELINGS ;-;
I've noticed all the people talking about how they have crazy disorders and listen to this song to help them. Keep fighting the good fight you guys. But, personally, I'm not really depressed, I have friends, get good grades, etc. So, I want to represent the minority. But, everyone has something in their life that hurts. Even fairly normal people like myself. So, no matter if you're depressed, have eating disorders, or if you're am absurd Marvel/DC fan, or if you hate chocolate, keep fighting the good fight. Even if you're broken or normal, you have those highs and lows.
Relative Infinity You speak the truth, My mother had mistaken me with depression which hurt me emotionally that she'd think I'd want to kill myself! But it still hurt going to a psychologist, even if I don't have anything on me. So it's refreshing to see people like you who are normal but still hurt, even if they are small things. :)
Thank you for showing your support for those of us that suffer on a daily basis. I do, however, have a couple of things that I want to say about your statement. 1. You can have friends, get good grades and still have depression... I've been suffering since I was around 15 (I'm now 22) and have plenty of friends that support me through the good and bad days, I also got pretty good grades in high school despite everything going on. 2. Just because we have depression or any other form of mental illness doesn't mean we're not normal... Be it anxiety, schizophrenia, anorexia, bulemia, autism, bipolar etc., we're still normal human beings. Like I said, I know that you're trying to be supportive to the many other people like myself who suffer with their own personal demons but please don't assume that we're all a certain way. No two people on this Earth are the same and those of us with mental illnesses are no different. Yes, everyone has ups and downs, ours are just more severe than most. I'm not trying to be a b*tch here and I apologise if it sends that way, I'm just trying to make you a little more aware. Some people may be reluctant to get help if they think that they'll be seen as not normal for how they feel, something which they have no control over.
As a girl with a family with so many issues, (autism, allergies, Tourrettes, etc.) I've had my own issues, and my own battle scars, but mine are all mental. This song is encouraging for me.
Mine are psychically mentally and spiritual and core type of battle scars. I am all healed from this, but the scars still remain as a reminder of all of the many good and bad and happy and sad and scary and disturbing and hopeful things that I have been put through all throughout my life growing up.
The person owning this notebook at school be like: English class starts Teacher: "ok kids, im going to collect your homework." This guy: pulls out Battle Scars notebook. "Shit." shoves it straight back in bag right in front of the teacher. Teacher: "..."
I'm a guitarist, I'm a writer, I'm a photographer, I'm a musician, I'm bisexual, but I'm also suicidal, I'm self-harm and I'm depressed. But I'm holding on because of one simple promise I made to my closest internet friend. This song makes bad days better and makes me keep on fighting.
I sing, I play guitar, piano, clarinet and bass recorder. I draw, I play tennis, I write. I am a girlfriend, a best friend, a sister, a daughter and a niece. And I am scared in social situations, and am constantly doubting myself. Stay strong. You never know when you or someone else will need it.
wow you sound like my girlfriend you know in a good way I feel like the luckiest man in earth when I'm with her I am also proud because she cut and never smiled and I helped her she doesn't cut and she smiles now so I feel I did good
also do some research in spontaneous healing or watch Zeitgeist moving forward there is always more beyond the horizon whether or not you have seen it yet its there
I was about fourteen the first time I found this video, right after the first time my dad physically abused me. It was also the first time I realized music could heal you. I cried my eyes out, promising myself I would rise to the challenge in the lyrics. Now I'm nineteen. I've finished my first novel, we kicked my dad out, I've been to therapy and worked through a lot of my past trauma. We've moved to a new state and I'm making friends my own age for the first time since second grade. I'm here again but now I'm crying tears of joy. This shit gets better, it really does. I see you, and I'm sending the biggest mental hugs. Keep fighting.
@Bob the Fish huh. Then i wonder how i can be dumb as a rock~ Like literally~ i cant solve a simple division problem without stopping for a few minuites.
I kinda feel bad for not reading the really long coments. Also. Realize this video was made by a random kid in their bedroom who had an empty book, a camera, a ton of markers, and some time to kill
I dedicate this song to my friends who've helped me out when my life has been shattered into pieces. I self-harmed before and I wanted to go to sleep and never wake up again. When my dearest friend showed me this song, I listened to it 24/7 to remind me that even though life may be tough at some point, I would keep fighting with I've you've got. You're not alone. Everyone who cares will help you. So don't make your life worse or even end it because somewhere out there you have friends like mine. Who treats you with care and respect.
+Icephoniex000 "then" is used to show time, such as, "We went to go get ice cream THEN to the park." "Tha"n is used to compare something. In this statement, we're comparing the strengyh in hope versus fear.
I've been think about doing a copy of this song in a composition book for a friend who's started cutting and not having a good home life and idk if she would like it or what.
"If you jump kid, don't be scared to fall" Failure is only the end if we refuse to get up. The past can hurt, but we can either run from it, or learn from it. There will always be someone who cares for you, and nomatter what happens, there will be someone in this planet that loves you. So don't put yourself down, you are your own biggest critic, so always give yourself a five star review. The worst darkness us always followed by the brightest of light, and nomatter how many clouds block the sun, they all have a silver lining. So when you look back on the scars you have, then you can be proud that each one may have hurt, but it was never the end of your story. Don't give up, I believe in you
this isn't just for those who get bullied and "look the part". anyone can get depression and or suicidal. most people don't realize that. that's why I really like this song because it doesn't focus on a certain group. it's to anyone who feels this way. everyone needs help now and again. people from all different parts and cultures. the jocks, the preps, the outcasts, the police, the military, doctors, nurses, etc. anyone can be depressed. remember that.
+Jordan Edwards Very true. My friends think I'm a happy-go-lucky nutjob, and then I go home and never leave my room, because I just get yelled at and smacked.
This song is amazing af... It made me cry and realize that life is worth it. Since I have Depression I didn't cared about anything but now when I listen to this Song ,it made me realize everything... Thank you Paradise Fears... this song made me happy and cry... ❤
I was not expecting to stumble on this tonight. I had sort of forgotten about this song, but the second I saw the image there in a playlist, I stopped still and stared. This song was so impactful to me going through some of the worst years of my life, struggling with my trauma from my CSA, broken family, suicidal ideation. No matter what you’re going through, you are never alone; you are so loved. You are irreplaceable, one of a kind, throughout all the ages that have been or ever will be, there never has nor will there ever be another you. God knew you and loved you and wanted you before you even existed. Let that sink in. He couldn’t abide with a world without you in it. You have so much worth in the eyes of your loving Father. Infinite. You are so cherished and adored. You MATTER. You have purpose. You are enough. You were made for more than pain and suffering. You are LOVED. Hold on. Stay. Life is hard, it might not feel like it now and that’s OK, but every day is a precious blessing and one day you’ll feel that. You bring so much to this life, to this world. Everyone has their own pain and scars, but I am in a much better place now. I don’t say that to sound braggy, I know there was a time when I would have thought anyone saying that didn’t understand true pain or were just being naive, but I say it because I want you to know unimaginable, seemingly impossible things can happen. Life won’t always be the same. What you’re going through will pass. If you need prayer or to let out what you’re going through please let me know ❤
Wow, this helps. A lot. I pray to everyone going through that ugly feeling of depression. If you just "keep marching on" you'll make it through. You may have scars at the end of the battle, but you're alive. And these scars will prove just how tough you are. I should know, going through these sad times can destroy a person, like it's slowly doing to me. But, if you keep your head held high and proud. You will make it through this. I believe in you. Everyone in this comment section does. Just smile, right now, do it. It may feel weird or maybe even foreign on your lips, but it'll help. Just like this song. And the fact that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile just proves that. Even if you're an atheist, just know that God is with you, and if you still can't believe in him. Know that this awkward, teenaged, insane and weird girl is with you. Now, smile and enjoy life. Somewhere in this world, whether it be right next to you or miles away. Someone loves you. They care. Now smile. :)
We all have shared a dark past. But maybe not the same, we just gotta look past where we were broken. An move on into a better future an life. Find the right one, settle down an BELIVE! These dark past are our Battle scars of life. They helped us improve in life. Including the others who are going through pain right now, find them, an find a way to help them like they would help you. Give the gift of giving even if you haven't recived it yet. If you are being bullied, don't fight back, be the better person an walk away. If you feel like there is no one who understands you, there are many people who understand you, you are never alone. Just find the person who understands you. Don't live your life in the shadows, be who you are, an who YOU want you to be not who others want you to be. if you understand, share this please :) help others who need it!-Hellznemisis
I have followed your band for 10 years now and tonight I am minutes away from seeing you live. If not for you myself and I am sure countless others may not be here today. Thank you so much for all that you have done with your light. Here is to a lifetime more of hope, love & safety… May it always be worth it to Keep Marching On.
“Do you remember when we learned how to fly” “If you jump kid don’t be scared to fall” Reminds me of when I ride my horse : ) I’m training her currently and I think we will go far 💗
I've had to put a lot of training into my first horse (yes, I did have riding experience first). When I first got her, she would barely trot with a rider and would buck whenever I tried cantering. Fast forward to a year later and she is constantly trying to go, go, go! She loves cantering and we are working our way up to jumping. Soon we will fly! So I guess here's a happy story among all the other depressing comments.
I hate how about 75% of the comments are just about Undertale, How someone got here from Undertale, or "hearing dis sung fillz u wit determination!!1". Just enjoy the beautiful song and it's wonderful message to keep fighting in life!
***** Well you are right about that. I understand how people can connect to Undertale. I can as well. I just wish that they wouldn't go on about it... It just gets annoying after a while.
People bullied me for my whole 6 years in elementary school just because I liked to read books. That really affected me. But I found my passion, my life, which is music. This song should be listened by everyone, because bullying, is not nice. And us, the bullied, should keep on Marching On. -A Human-
I hate books, but at the same time... I admittedly love them, I just can't find the story I want. I'm sorry you were bullied, I was bullied too and even told I did inappropriate things... It hurts, but it also has to get worse before it can get better.
Little Girl: Whats on your arm? Me: They're battle scars. Little Girl: You fought in a war? Me: Yeah. A long and hard one. Little Girl: Thats so cool! Can I get one? Me: No. Please do not ever get any. But I'll tell you what. Whenever you see someone else with battle scars, I want you to go give them a hug, okay? Can you promise me? Little Girl: Yes, I promise. A few days later we went to a short shopping spree. Suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager. Teen: Why are you hugging me? Little girl: Because... points you have battle scars just like my babysitter. The teen looks up at me, and I roll up my sleeve to show her. With tears in her eyes, she says one thing to me... Teen: My war is far from being finished yet, but I'm not done fighting. She bends down at eye level at the little girl Teen: Thanks for giving me the strength to keep fighting. You are forever my war hero Little Girl: Whats on your arm? Me: They're battle scars. Little Girl: You fought in a war? Me: Yeah. A long and hard one. Little Girl: Thats so cool! Can I get one? Me: No. Please do not ever get any. But I'll tell you what. Whenever you see someone else with battle scars, I want you to go give them a hug, okay? Can you promise me? Little Girl: Yes, I promise.

Hey! If you’re stumbling on this comment, it’s a sign. You belong here on earth. You are loved and valued and an important part of this world. You deserve happiness and good things. Stay strong!
I’ve been through a lot. I’ve lost three of my grandparents so far, I’m a HSP (highly sensitive person), I suffer from epilepsy, and I struggle with unwanted suicidal thoughts. These types of songs are some of the things that give me the will to keep going. That remind me that I’m not alone.
This is an anthem to the homesick For the beaten The lost, the broke, the defeated A song for the heartsick For the standby's Living life in the shadow of a goodbye Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd play make believe We were young and had time on our side You're stuck on the ground Got lost, can't be found Just remember that you're still alive I'll carry you home No you're not alone Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars You've had enough But just don't give up Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars Keep marching on This is a call to the soldiers The fighters, the young, the innocent, the righteous We've got a little room to grow Better days are near Hope is so much stronger than fear If you jump kid don't be scared to fall Well, we'll be kings and queens in this dream All for one, one for all You can light up the dark There's this fire in your heart Burning brighter than ever before I'll carry you home No, you're not alone Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars You've had enough But just don't give up Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars On and on Like we're living on a broken record Hope is strong But misery's a little quicker Sit and we wait and we drown there Thinking why I bother playing when it's unfair They say life's a waste I say they lack belief They tell me luck will travel I tell them that's why I've got feet Left, right Left, right Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat This could be the last chance you have to fly Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by? Man, you had it all When you were just a kid Do you even remember who you were back then? What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong? What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on? Don't stop March on I'll carry you home No, you're not alone Keep marching on This is worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars You've had enough But just don't give up Stick to your guns You are worth fighting for You know we've all got battle scars Keep marching on Keep marching on (Man, you had it all (When you were just a kid) (Do you even remember who you were back then?) (What do you want in life?) (Will you be twice as strong?) (What would you sacrifice?) (What are you waiting on?) (Don't stop, march on)
One of the best songs ever created. Has such a powerful message unlike a lot of the songs today. Compare this song to JB's Sorry or Rihanna's Work. No contest.
I've been self-harming for two years and I never would've imagined my arms and legs and shoulders and stomach would look like this when I started. It gets better, please never hurt yourself. It's NEVER worth it. Now my story is etched into my skin, when I want nothing to wipe it away and start over. you can DO IT!
+Noah Bradford Personally I would cover my scars with beautiful tattoos :) I know lots of people who use tattoos over scars to help them love their bodies again.
Why would somebody dislike this video? Even if they didn't like the song, do they even realize how much effort it took for this person to plan out the spacing of the words and do tedious work to take a picture after writing down every single word and then get the timing just right???!!!! This is an amazing song and an amazing lyric video!!!! Kudos to destinedtoexplode for taking the time and effort to make this lyric video!!!!!!! :)
Those who feel lost, forgotten, unloved, or have thoughts of suicide, PLEASE read this. Yesterday last night, me and my dad were talking about some friends of friends that committed suicide and some friends of my own who almost have. It’s sad, no one seems to have hope anymore. I tell my friends and other total strangers I see who want to take their life, “I know things are hard and I know lift is tough. But those days are to make us stronger. There will always be good days and bad days, your up’s and downs. Lift is worth living even when you’re in the deepest of the deep, where hope is lost and everything seems dark. But there will always be that little light and you just gotta reach out for it. There are people who need you as much as you need them. They may not seem to care but they do, they really do. You may not know those people yet but you will later on sometime in your life. Everyone as a purpose in life. YOU have a purpose in life. You many not see it yet but you do. If there was no purpose, none of us would be here.” Me as a dreamer, I strive to look for my purpose. I have already found it. I want to save those who have no hope, those who feel like they don’t have a purpose, who feel unloved, forgotten, invisible. No one should feel that way. Everyone is loved. If you are reading this and you feel like this as said above, YOU ARE LOVED. I don’t know you but if no one else will love you, I will.
lyrics: Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-ohhhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-ohhhhh This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten, The lost, the broke, the defeated. A song for the heartsick, for the standbys, Living life in the shadow of a goodbye. Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd play make-believe; we were young and had time on our side. You're stuck on the ground, Got lost, can't be found. Just remember that you're still alive. I'll carry you home. No, you're not alone. Keep marching on, This is worth fighting for, You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough, But just don't give up. Stick to your guns, You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on. This is a call to the soldiers, the fighters, The young, the innocent, and righteous. We've got a little room to grow. Better days are near, Hope is so much stronger than fear. So if you jump, kid, don't be scared to fall. We'll be kings and queens in this dream, all for one, one for all. You can light up the dark, There's a fire in your heart, Burning brighter than ever before. I'll carry you home. No, you're not alone. Keep marching on, This is worth fighting for, You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough, But just don't give up. Stick to your guns, You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on. On and on, like we're living on a broken record. Hope is strong, but misery's a little quicker. Sit, and we wait, and we drown there, Thinking, "Why bother playing when it's unfair?" They say life's a waste, I say they lack belief. They tell me luck will travel, I tell 'em that's why I've got feet. Left, right, left, right, Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat. This could be the last chance you have to fly. Do you like the ground? Want it to pass you by? Man, you had it all when you were just a kid. Do you even remember who you were back then? What do you want in life? Will you be twice as strong? What would you sacrifice? What are you waiting on? Don't stop, march on. I'll carry you home. No, you're not alone. Keep marching on, This is worth fighting for, You know we've all got battle scars. You've had enough, But just don't give up. Stick to your guns, You are worth fighting for. You know we've all got battle scars. Keep marching on. Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-ohhhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh Oh-ohhhh-oh-ohhhh-ohhhhh Keep marching on.
For all of you who are depressive, axious, have suffered bullying, have ocd, been raped or abused, have ever selfharmed, or have any other types of probems that were not listed here, don't worry, you are not alone, and I am here to help you out no matter what. Don't worry, I've been there, I know how it feels, but it is not worth it. Put down the knives, un-tie the ropes, throw the pills away, put the razors back in the sharpner, stay away from the edge of the building and put the gun away. I know it may seem like the end of the world, but trust me, _it gets better._
Please 00130132... Don't do this... Killing yourself is NOT worth it! You still have an entire life ahead of you, killing yourself won't make things better! Trust me, it's not worth it...
man this song gets to me. I lost 3 amazing friends this year to suicide. It kills me everyday knowing they aren't with us anymore. Rest easy Ado, Mike, and Jack. you guys are missed. I love you guys.
Ya ever have a song stuck in your head all day, then realize that song was what you've been needing to hear lately? Just me? Oh okay CX I love this song.
I did play undertale and I am saying that because this song means somethings from my past and when I had only one friend out of 1,265 people in the whole school and I wasn't the brightest but when I moved I have a lot of friends now so... Understand that
Ever since I found this song I've been listening to it every time an especially har final or midterm comes along. I started last year. The second year of uni was not only particularly difficult but many subjects were mind numbing. 8 A.M classes almost every day. Sleeping for 6 hours was a luxury. Finals came along. I lost motivation to study, failed two HUGE exams. This song helped me trough it. I took the exam again. I passed. Here I am, a year later, listening to this song while studying for what is probably the hardest exam I ever had. Every time I feel like throwing the bloody book trough the window I listen to this. It helps.
I've always thought about self harming but I realize it would also be hurting the people that care for me deeply and I don't want that for them, I want them to stay happy. For those that self harm, you can talk to me, I want to help all of you. Please let me show at least some use to all of you who have suffered. I will be here to comfort you all. Come to me, my precious friends. I will help you fight your battle or try. For those that no longer self harm, I'm sincerely glad you have won your battle. Stay well all of you.
To add on to what you're saying, (not trying to offend people), but I think suicide is the most selfish thing you can do. You're ending your misery, but, at the same time, you're forcing misery onto the people who care for you.
+Relative Infinity Suicide and self harm are the most selfish things someone can do and people always right me when I say that , but I am glad that I see someone else to also understand. Finally. Thank you.
Heaven Jones i know it was forever ago you posted this but i just wanted to say its really nice of you to sopport people you dont acually know in person and I dont have any problems my self but great job on staying strong for all the people around you :D
Whether it's writing a last-minute essay, providing motivation for a project or inspire a new will to live, this song does it all and never lets me down. What an absolute masterpiece. ❤❤❤
This is such a great song, there will always be pain, sorrow, injustice, pandemics, etc. But things always get better, there will be brighter days ahead. It's easy to despair, but it's better to hang on to hope. We will beat this pandemic and we will create a better world. It gets better.
I recently lost my 2 friends, I'm suicidal and have anxiety. I love my friends but it's over and I'm insane. My true love are my friends. All I want is a big hug from them, for them to be back. To remove the past. I'm nothing other than a suicidal 11 year old sitting here crying wanted love.
If it helps, I'm a suicidal 12 year old with freakishly low self-esteem. But it's temporary. There's a whole community of people that are fighting or have survived the same battle. Hang in there. We should all live for each other if no one else
Let me tell you something. It's a proven fact that people who think they're insane, aren't actually insane. People who are, tell people they're lying and that they know nothing. And you have people who love you. The people you have lost to death, are now your guardian angels. I lost my great great grandpa when I was 7 or 8 and lost one of my brothers to a drug overdose two years ago on Thanksgiving. I hate it with a passion. But I refuse to commit suicide due to religious beliefs. I'm a 13 year old with ADD and ADHD. I was bullied both mentally and physically, as well as sexually harassed at my campground by someone who I thought was a friend. My mom has brain cancer and lung cancer and is suffering from depression. She has been abused before, and her mother wouldn't take care of her. Now, she wants to die, but refuses to kill herself because of religious beliefs. So don't think that way. People love you. Even if you think they don't, they do. Always remember that.
I have anxiety, depression, my only friend live 635 km far away from me, and the girl I like too. I suffered bullying, I have self harmed and I have past a lot of time crying in my room. I was sexually abused at age 12 by my girlfriend of that moment, now I'm alone. Tomorrow, I will become 14 years old. And I am afraid of life. But at the time. I am hopeful that I will get to see my friend, see my crush someday, she lives near to my BFF, and life is so BIG. WE HADN'T TASTED LIFE. We have a long time to spend happily with the people that matter. So don't give up and cheer, I am with you guys. We will grow and be who we wanna be, we don't have to stop. And we will not, right?
@@kristenk17 Just don't take yourself any time soon. Always remember that there are people in this world who love you (like Daniel), and it IS human to feel like that. But as long as you remember that people care about you, and you stay happy, that will not happen to you. Just hang in there. As you said, it gets better and they are in no pain. You WILL join them some day, just not ANY time soon. We will all miss you if you're gone soon.
I'm 16 years old. I play clarinet and I write. I want to go to college for child psychology or social work. I'm suicidal. I have severe depression and anxiety. My mom has severe anxiety and depression. My stepdad is bipolar and has ADHD amongst other disorders. My biological dad has anger issues and isn't around. I constantly feel like I'm two steps from the edge. This song just became my new favorite.
I listen to this song almost every day, just to remind myself to keep going. I'm a depressed trans kid and this song helps me so much. For me, today happens to be thanksgiving, which means dealing with unsupporting family memebers for an entire day. Including my aunt, who i was relatively close to for most of my childhood, and when I came out to her she called me a whore and said "you can't just magically change your gender, it doesn't work like that." I came home, went directly to my room and listened to this song.
Michael Mell don't listen to your aunt,be what you wanna be,and be it,no one can take your will to be something, and I know someone loves you and cares about you, enjoy life to the maximum and be happy,buddo.
My family is always stressing me out....I'm beaten up at school....and it never stops....one of my few friends I have told me about this song....I listened to it....now I feel a little better....I just need to be me....I can't let them stop me from what I want to do in life
Yes, I came here from Undertale. And I have to say something. I've been betrayed and bullied so many times. I've been underrated, broken, full of hate. But, I know one thing. I'm good student, writer, friend, actress... even after all, weak ones are gonna hate. They would always find bad side, even if you're perfect, no matter that's impossible. Cuz they are filled with hate. They are disappointed, so they judge others. So? Are you gonna surrender just because some idiot doesn't like you. No, I won't fight back. They are not worth it. And I'm not like them. I'm trying to see good in every single being, cuz we all have our brighter sides. So I won't do same thing they do. I know we all came from different fandom, having different faiths. And I don't care. Cuz it doesn't matter what you believe in. It matters you believe in something. In something that keeps you going. So, whoever you are, wherever you are and whenever you reading this - stay determined. Cuz you are worth it. Go ahead and smile right into their face. Whoever they are, whoever stops your dreams - just go ahead. Cuz as long as you hope, there is a chance. There's one more piece of goodness in this world. And one day, you'll be the winner. DON'T LET THEM STOP YOU! HOPE IS STRONGER THAN FEAR!
I just want to say thank you. I was going through a really dark time where I was planning on taking my life and this and plenty of other songs like it kept me going. You guys are amazing
I have been listening to this song since 2016. I ran across it one day after I was released from a 2 week hospital stay after a failed suicide attempt. Whenever I felt down or lonely or like life was kicking me to the curb, this was my go to song. I started a Facebook page for suicide awareness and shared this video every year. Even if it helps just one. From the very bottom of my heart I thank you for this song. It has saved me more than once. Big love!
This video makes me wanna change all the bad things that happened to you or the people who let you down fades , Tha your still fighting for your big dreams.
I haven't cried in weeks. I'm crying from joy. I suffered a great loss recently and things have been getting worse for myself and my friends. TH-cam's recommended this to me for a year, so I finally decided to listen. This is the song I never knew I needed. THANK YOU.
It’s been 6 months I hope everything is a lot better now! I’ve been through my fair share of things and I honestly just found this song! I hope good luck is with you in the future!!
@@Definitelynotatimelord Thank you! Things have been getting much better. Although it's ups and downs, sometimes minor, sometimes drastic, I'm still getting along just fine. I hope your days serve you well in the near future, too. I don't know what you've gone through, what you are going through, but you've got this! Just think of it like this, okay? I've used this metaphor so many times, and I hope it will help. It works as a metaphor for a road to recovery and, well, your struggles through anything, really, it can be applied to many things. You're climbing up a mountain. There's reflective surfaces in every cave, and there's a BUNCH of caves you're travelling through. Your reflection wants to stop and give up, but you have a rope tying the two of you together, so you keep pulling them along. You fall off the mountain, a lot, losing a lot of progress. But you're getting closer and closer, and even if each fall nearly kills you, you get right back up and keep on dragging your reflection along. Your "reflection" is yourself, you're trying to get them to change, to heal, whatever your goal is, you're trying to get them to it. You're dragging yourself along for the sake of yourself and others. There's progress, and yes, a fair amount of regress, but ultimately the net is progress. It's slow, and by GOD it's frustrating and exhausting, but it's worth it to be able to stand on top of that mountain and shout out to the world that you made it, right? To hear your voice echo out for miles, telling everyone that you made it, you did it, you lived. It can take days, months, or even years, and you might even be climbing multiple mountains at once, but once you've conquered them all, it's gonna be worth it. I promise you.
This is a message for anyone who may be struggling. This is my suicide story. Two years ago, I started cutting myself. I still have visible scars leading up and down both sides of my left arm. Ill tell you why: I grew up in a very small trailer that I had to share with six other family members, and many, many colonies of millions of cockroaches. My parents used to be drug addicts. My dad was (and still is) an excessive alcoholic. Both of my parents still smoke cigarettes. So they would fight almost every night, but I never was really affected by it. I was never exposed to the real world until I reached elementary school. I was fearless. Bold. But then, something changed about me. I felt like my parents just didn't care for me anymore, I started talking less at school. I didn't have many friends. I only noticed some of these signs from way early back in kindergarten. These signs only got stronger the more I grew. This is when I met my first demon. It nested itself right in the center of my brain, completely cognating my mind. From that point on, I didn't see the world how my young, innocent self did. Lets skip to 6th grade. This is when I started to cut. My first cut was the deepest of them all. Its the most visible scar I have. The pain hurt at first, but soon adrenaline filled my wounds. It made me want to do it more. And thats what I did. The only person that ever caught on was my older sister. She told my parents, which they didn't really do anything except tell me "I don't get it. Thats stupid." and shamed me for being sad. At least, thats what it felt like. So my situation merely worsened. Nobody ever knew besides my family and rarely, close friends. 7th grade was when I found my longest lasting relationship. I never realized how much I would regret it, because as I said, I was only in 7th grade. I was still oblivious to some parts of the world. I was so happy with him. That is, until my family noticed something off. He was 16, and I was 13. I didn't see this as an issue. I had a normal relationship for a good few months until something took a completely different route. I went into cyber sex. Yes, ill admit it. I did that. I didn't see anything wrong with it at the time. But the first time I got caught, my family opened my eyes. I didn't want to do it anymore. But I still did, because I loved him and I loved making him happy. From that point on, I felt trapped in his bubble. I wanted to escape. The only freedom I thought of was suicide, so I started cutting again. I was never happy anymore. In 8th grade I caught feelings for this boy. He fit exactly my needs. But the thing is, he also had a girlfriend. Keep in mind I was still with my other boyfriend. Luckily, they didn't last long. I didn't want to cheat, but then again, I did. Not like he would know; because he lived all the way across the country. I made the decision of staying loyal and hid my feelings for him under a thick blanket inside my mind. Then he got another girlfriend. Her name was Sara. I noticed how happy they were together, which made me really devastated. I envied her. "Why can't I be just like her?" I remember asking myself. Every time I would walk past and see their hands conjoined, I had a burning feeling inside that made me just want to break down in the middle of school. But after years of torment, I learned to contain it. I noticed after they got together that something wasn't right. They weren't happy at all. My friend pulled me aside one day with Sara helping me break them up. Sara told me that she never really loved him. I was ecstatic, but was also devastated at the same time. After his first breakup, him and I became really close friends. I learned that he too was depressed, so I had no idea how to tell him that his "one and only" (his exact words) didn't really love him. Instead, I rerouted the situation for him to really express how I felt about him. He admitted that he started to like me too. I was ecstatic for the time being... Then things turned to hell. They got into frequent fights, and when I tried to help him, he ignored me and threatened to turn to suicide. Again, no matter what I tried, it didn't help. My last resort was to open up to him more about how I felt about him. Miraculously, it worked every time. We inched closer and closer to each other from that point forward. Long story short, they ended with breaking up. Since he already knew how he felt about me, and him feeling the same way, his temptation got the best of him. He started hugging and holding my hand more often. Then one day, I gave in as well. I let him be my first kiss. The rest of that night, I was scared because I was still in another relationship at the time. I felt so guilty. I cried myself to sleep that night. Lets skip to today now. My boyfriend and I went on our own separate journeys, and I started my own journey with my new boyfriend. Spite having pretty crappy backstories, we're happy together. And I thought it was never going to happen, but it did. Hell, I even got a bunny to lift my spirits. Take this from me and many other similar stories: *things do get better.* don't worry, god is setting up your life plan right now. Just have faith and patience, and a gift will soon come your way. Now some of you may say, "I've been waiting for years, its never came." that only means god is setting something up bigger than you've expected. Just have faith and it will come your way.
I've seen so much pain in my life, I've lost friends to depression, they didn't kill themselves but they're unfixable, their ideologies of the world are messed up, I had to watch it, unable to help anymore, it's left me broken and defeated, it's cruel how they're treated, this world has so many things wrong with it, no matter how you spin it abuse is hard to avoid no matter where you live, yet there's a tiny sliver of hope. I implore you to help those that you suspect are being abused.
I can really relate to this because when you're and equestrian it's hard not to give up. There have been so many times when I wanted to give up. Either it be getting bucked off or frustrated, I have always gotten back on or gotten back to what I was doing before. For those people in dark times, I might be young, but I know those dark times. A few years ago I had my best friend die. For some people when you say your best friend is a horse, they basically tell you to go get a life, but if you understand it then you know that bond that just clicks. And about a month after my horse died, my uncle died. I went into a state of depression and one day I was scrolling through my feed and found an edit. I think it was superroskamgirl or something like that. I remember getting up and going out to see the rest of my horses and I knew I was gonna get through it.
I'm so sorry about your uncle and your horse. I totally know what you mean about how this relates to equestrians though. Do you ride English or western? Horseback riding helped me through hard times as well.
I understand what its like to lose a horse it feels like you lost part of your soul. I had a horse his barn name was Tea, I had known him since I was born and he was the frist horse I rode and competed on. When I lost him I lost my reason to get out of bed in the morning, my parents are not horse people (my grandma has a farm where he lived) so they didn't understand at all. Since then I have had two more horses, Blue (we called him Buba) and Ultra. Blue died last year and I still miss him greatly. Ultra is the horse I currently ride, we ride english. I would like to start Jumping and trail riding.
Ive never been an emotionally external person. i never knew why, but its like i have some blockage keeping me from letting it all out. Im going to be seeing a therapist soon for depression and anxiety. No one that I know as friends seem to care though. I try my best not to mistreat others or treat them badly because of my depression. i also dont use it as an excuse. its just something I am. I just wish some beautiful individual. a women. who truly cares... Not so sure thats even possible. Just someone. anyone. the reason im on here is because i have no one to talk to. or no one will be serious for a second.
Hi, how are you? First, my english is REALLY bad sorry about that! I'm here because I want say this to you: Good luck with life my friend. Yeah, I don't really know who you are and I'm not good to cheer up people but I want to try. I'm pretty sure you'll find a woman who loves and cares you. Good luck with depression and anxiety too. I'm just 13 years old bullied kid and I don't necessarily know how to help, but I've seen a lot of thing. I hope that my comments will help you even a little bit and you will be better soon. Have a really good day and.. DON'T GIVE UP
Dude,I've got bad depression too,none of my friends care and my parents have seen it but they don't care... anyway I hope you're doing well with Therapy and stuff
Wait what, my comment disappeared or something..? O_o I'm too lazy to write it again (sorry about that) but this is the most important thing about it: Don't give up. I'm here trying to cheer you up, who ever you are reading my comment and listening this wonderful song. I hope you have a really good day!
This song brung me to tears…I hope who ever reads this knows this old ass song has just put ALOT of things into perspective. I listened to this song just a year after it released, I thought it was a really good song back then to but I never understood the lyrics due to me being innocent youth. However I’m 18 and I’m struggling to get on my feet along with several other issues I’m facing in life. I came back to this song as I remembered it off of the top of my head after I was told the way I draw hearts was weird lol. So i came back to this song and the lyrics couldn’t be more powerful 9 years later. To the creators of this masterpiece: Thank you, I may still be lost but with my newfound clarity hopefully I can see my way to the long road I’m supposed to march on. Everyone here, to the creators to the person reading this comment you are awesome. Don’t let anyone tell you different, and remember that the toughest battles you fight aren’t with anyone but yourself. Believe in the you within, and keep marching on. 💕
I've had major depressive disorder panic anxiety and ADHD for as long as I can remember. It hurts so bad so much. But the day I told my mom I cut was the best decision of my life. Yes there were bad meds that sent me to the hospital. Yes there were times I had a plan and took the car ride to the hospital crying not wanting to go back. But it does get better. I can't stress that enough so please put down the razors and the ropes and shit and tell someone.
I don’t think it was adhd I think it was the depression you were distracted about cause you’re born with adhd you don’t just get it I think I have adhd but my dad doesn’t believe me
I really want to do that! But I'm scared of what will happen, my parents would maybe yell at me, and every time I try to speak something keeps me from speaking like I'll start off saying "hey Mom I hav-..nvm I forgot what I was going to say.."
to all those who have bean beaten, abised, who have self harmed lr even tryed suiced attempt juat rember theres only one of you and no one can change that please don't touch the raisor put down the gun and put away the knigh you are perfect just the way you are so keep being you nust don't ever try that againg you are strong and powerful keep on fighting talk to someone if you have to find someone and help them through it you are you amd no one is like you you are perfect the way you are.
All of my friends are back in my old state. They all live hours from each other, and yet, this song connects each of us. When I listen to it, I feel like I'm there with them again. The power of music is truly amazing
I'm 27. I've struggled with my depression for as long as I can remember. I've been told I'm too young to know what real depression is. I have nothing to be sad about. It's only recently I've had the courage to actually seek out professional help. I still have a past I need to come to grips with but I am.It's not an easy fight but in the end, it is a fight I'm willing to take. Don't stop fighting.
this song makes me so happy XP I love it so much it makes me want to keep believing so I will :D heh like the song says we all got battle scars but just keep marching on so I will :3
I forgot how much this song meant to me. Thank you I wouldn't have ever seen this without you. I wouldn't be here without this song. Thank you. I'll make sure to thank Paradise fears soon to
![Paradise Fears - Battle Scars [Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
*This is an anthem for the homesick, for the beaten. The lost, the broke, and defeated.*
This is for anyone who's gone through heartache, or troubles. From getting yelled at or ignored, to losing a family member. This is for anyone who feels lost and afraid.
*A song for the heartsick, for the standbys. Living life in the shadow of a goodbye.*
This is for anyone who's in need of a friend, someone who'll listen. The neglected, the ignored, the abused, the cheated on. The depressed, the upset.
*Do you remember when we learned how to fly? We'd make believe we were young and had time on our side.*
As a kid, we are an unshaped lump of clay. No matter what shape we end up in, there will always be bruises, there will always be scars, and fingerprints. And we will never be perfect.
*You're stuck on the ground, got lost can't be found.*
We all have moments where we feel alone. Where we feel like there's no-one who gets us, when we feel like the world would be better without us.
*Just remember that you're still alive*
_But it gets better._ No matter what, it gets better. It starts as simple as telling yourself everyday that you're worth it. It starts as simple as telling a trusted friend your troubles. It starts as simple as consoling in a friend, a parent, perhaps someone you've met over the internet, maybe even yourself.
_It gets better_
_Trust me, I know._
Wow
True to your username to spread wisdom upon song lyrics 👍🏼
That one time you manage not to cry over the song, but then you read this comment
Wisdom I’m sorry for being negative. You are right don’t get me wrong, but I’ve done all I could and it’s time for me to stop and give up. Sometimes even if you try to fight for so long. Wait for so long. Hold on to “Hope” for so long, and tell your trusted people about your troubles, it won’t make a difference because it’s deeply imbedded in you. The pain, agony, sadness, frustration, hate, anger, and many more suffering. But do you and I do me
@@NoxiousStar Wait, it doesn't have to be over. It's okay to suffer, to feel despear, but don't stop, keep pushing, or don't, just go with the flow, keep staying alive, that's enough. Just please don't stop
I want that notebook.
Yeshhhh
I have it
lucky.
@@breannacarlson7600 same lol. You can get them from walmart XD
@I am just more like myself buy one at Wal-Mart
I'm not crying. It's just tear-shaped frustration. I've already watched it seven times in a row.
Princess Valla thirteen times. But sadly, I'm too numb for my eyes to cry.
I cried i dont even know why
Not the only
It's ok cry I will cry with you
"Do you even remember who you were back then?"
No, no I don't. But damn, do I miss her.
Been there done that.
Same here
Makes atleast four of us. Once you get to that place you aren't really able to go back. Wish i could go back though.
I feel the same way, I was involved in a car accident(a car hit me on a zebra crossing) at age 7 and I can't remember anything before this and I have random gaps in my memory(about 2/3 year gaps) only having from June 2019 being crystal clear. On top of this most of my "friends" didn't except me after I came out as gay(almost my entire secondary school hated me after they outed me to every one).
Been there, seen that, I miss her too
That moment when you realize the people in the comment sections of songs care more about you then you do
Faith Switzer It’s kind of amazing how humans always look down on themselves, but immediately encourage others. I wonder why humanity does this
@@abbybayer9815 we don't like seeing others end up like us. We instinctively try to help each other no matter how we hurt (there are exemptions like asshole bullies and the like)
It gives me hope for humanity. And I've met a lot of people who have given me reasons to not trust or like people.
I care about you all. This comment section really is heart warming.
I usually never think of TH-cam comment sections as a place where people are *cough* heartwarming, but yeah, they really are.
every one here talkin about how inspired this made them and i'm just over here
jealous of the handwriting
Well I just came here for the song

"Hope is so much stronger than fear"
Hope stands for
"Hold On Pain Ends"
Sero Hanta That’s a really good way to put it
Yeah
omg! that is shooking 😳😮
Hey! My friend told me this advise and i passed it along and now here i am seeing it again! Thats always a nice thing to see.
The pain will never end for me,
Nothing can save me.
My husband struggles with PTSD from the military and I played him this song because he is so much stronger than he knows. He's my hero and he doesn't know that I look up to him so much. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here, I'm so happy he is in my life and he has a heart of gold. He still manages to put a smile on my face everyday. Here's to you baby ❤️ You are my hero!
That great!
This was posted three years ago but on the off chance you're paying attention. Let him know his fight is worth it. He's not just your hero, he *is* a hero. And I hope you both the best.
I got ptsd from school test (hope your ok)
"Living in the shadow of a goodbye..."
That hit me hard.
I can feel that
Me, too. I felt that.
I do love that line, but I'm just not sure what it means really. What do you think?
Kamille Willets I think that it means that those people don't think they're important, those who get ignored by other people.
@@kamille286 maybe it's about being on the verge of suicide?...
The loneliest people are the kindest
The sadest people smile the brightest
The most damaged people are the wisest
All because they don't want to see anyone suffer the way they do

This is just weird - i clicked on a comment dug through the songs and happened to click this - and there is My Poem! I left it on "she's like the wind" by Patrick swayze - glad to see it passed along, so Thanks!

Imagine someone actually finding a composition book with something like this in it
I would write that. Maybe leave it on a long and lonely trail, or somewhere that someone who needed it would find it.
I'd never let it out of my sight
I'm tempted to do this but I know if someone found it they probably wouldn't care bc my school sucks.

Now you've given me the idea to buy a notebook, scribble a whole song like this on it, bring it on a long road trip or something, then just leave the notebook beside someone in hopes they'll read and keep it
Would help me put all my art supplies to actual good use lol
I stumbled upon this song today. My friend passed away the 26th and I had sent him a text saying I'm always here for you that same night... Idk if it got to him in time. But I hoped he knew so many loved him.

Keep marching on.
when I was a baby, I suffered a sever stroke that we are still unsure of the cause. it affected the entire right side of my body. I spent the first 3 years of my life learning how to walk, and fortunately that came easy, but my hand was a different story. I spent most of my young childhood doing physical therapy for my hand. when we tried surgery, the doctor concluded that my hand would never be a working hand. strangely, I'm not bothered by this. sure, there are some difficulties I face that might be simple tasks for others, but I've learned to adapt throughout everything that I come across so much that I'm used to it. in a way, I'm glad I am the way i am. I believe that certain things can happen to us that shapes who we are in the long run. I'm very happy w/ who I am and it's because I've overcome this disability in more ways then one. to anybody who feels stuck or lost because of a disability, don't give up. I know it's going to be hard to get through, but as long as you remain strong, determined, and brave, you will get through. remember, you are NOT alone....
This may be old but, keep marching on.
To anyone who is suicidal, depressed, bullied or is dealing with other problems that aren't listed, just remeber that you're not alone. There is always that one person who can light up your world in the darkest of times, even if you don't think so. You are a wonderful person and you should be proud of your scars. It's proof that you tried. That you survived even when you thought you were gonna break. And that means something. So, stay safe.

My pet snek orzo keeps me alive
Thank you this means so much
Dear society,
Depression isn't an option, if it was... we wouldn't be like this. Just because we have parents, just because our grades our high, just because we sleep on a bed, just because we have food to eat, just because people call us by our names...doesn't mean we have to be happy. Depression sneaks up behind our backs. It does not reflect what kind of life we have, it reflects on the demons inside us. The demons only we can see and understand. Don't play along, saying you know how it feels when you push us around and force us to keep that same fading smile day by day until night finally falls and we fall too.
Sometimes, society is dumb.
Depression isn't an option, it isn't a sin.
But it's not okay if you let depression take you over completely.
I read this and immediately started thinking back on my life.. Words I couldn't have said becuase I don't know how to actually say it. I grew up in an unstable environment keeping everything in and blocking everyone out.. I'm not the person I am as I was then.. I'm completely different now. Thanks for the thoughts dude. (Just a general term I use for everyone)
KyuunRin Lee this is me, people say my life is perfect and I have no reason to be sad, but I still am, I still cry, I still use faked smiles and forced laughs, and I still feel empty inside. yet this song always seems to make me feel better because I'm not about to give up, not when this is playing through my head
Im...speechless.....your words just almost made me cry...i went through this before it is TEMPORARY im happy now, i know im not the happiest as i used to be but things DO get BETTER! There are times were i get extreamly depressed... And thats normal! Its completely ok to cry... Its ok to be sad... But you always have to remember you were put here for a reason...not to just throw it away...
KyuunRin Lee I so agree with you!!😁
KyuunRin Lee t-thanks man
no one cares, but i feel like this is a good enough place to leave this here. i'm 14 years old girl. i live in england, but i was born abroad and my parents were immigrants. we gained citizenship a long time ago, i have no worries about that. i live in a good country, with a 'bad' skin colour. the majority of my life i've been discriminated for having brown skin. most of it is colourism, which is the saddest bit of it all. yeah, i've been called 'terrorist' multiple times but for some reason that hurts less than other brown people comparing skin colours and you sitting on the side knowing you don't have to put your hand next to theirs to know you're the darkest. it got to the point where i was embarrassed to walk in front of people because of my skin colour. brown people using racist slurs against black people. brown people using skin whitening cream because society have taught them to hate their skin colour so much. i don't care about this anymore. i love my brown skin now. it took a while, but i love it, it's beautiful and a part of me. but at the time when i first started experiencing discrimination, i separated myself from everyone. i became nasty and mean. i was horrible to some people, just because i felt i had to lash out. innocent people. i'd call myself a bully. i was so cruel, always taunting them. but i still had tonnes of friends, and i wish i didn't because it made me think it was okay, to treat people like that. it's not. i began suffering from anxiety, and i was soon after diagnosed with adhd. both these things have stayed with me for three years now, and it's a part of me lots of people find hard to struggle with. i've pushed people away by revealing my problems to them. my ex-boyfriend used it against me after an argument, posting a video of me in the midst of an intense panic attack to 'get back at me'. i was at my weakest, and he exposed me to the world like that. it was horrible, but i felt like i deserved it. for all i'd done to people, for not being nice enough to people. i didn't do anything about it. everything about my life felt like a waste after that, and i honestly felt like there was no point in me being alive. i thought everything i did affected other people badly, and that i was a burden. nothing but a breathing, walking, talking burden. i kept my problems to myself, cut myself where no one to see. it was stupid, it didnt get rid of the pain, so i'd go deeper. i don't understand exactly why i did it now, and i still have a faint scar where i cut particularly deep.
this sounds like a sob story, i know. but it gets better. i started to realise the beauty in life - my friend helped me to. i'm now hopelessly crushing on him, but that doesn't matter. he's the one i hold closest to my heart, and i can always count on him more than anyone. he's beautiful, and he actually loves me. he taught me to see the light in things, he's bandaged my battle scars. i've become a way more optimistic, peaceful person. ive learnt to accept my flaws, my little bad habits and love them. i've become a way better person, nicer, happier. most of the time i'm smiling. i'm known as that happy, cheerful person at school that you can go to when you're upset. it makes me happy to know that. that my life has turned itself around, and it's hopefully going to stay this way. of course, there'll be hardships, but i'm strong enough to deal with them properly now. i'm looking forward to the rest of my life.
if you've managed to read this far, i want to leave a little message. there's probably such a tiny amount of people who sees this, but if i can make someone happy for even a second, why not?
don't stop fighting. things will turn out better, i promise you that. the light will flicker, sometimes the light will be blown out completely, by the air or by a person. all you have to do is find a match. it may take a while, you may forget where you left it, but you'll find it, and the light will come back. please never give up. you're loved.
I really needed this. Thank you.
I'll keep trying.
gguk's - First I just have to say it your ex was a complete jerk for doing that to you and second I’m glad you found someone to help you see the good things in life and I hope things will continue to be good for you. Your right things do get better it just takes a little time
Good words! I'm so glad things got better for you! It makes me feel like an utter fool for making big things over small things. These comments really reminded me of how much harder things are for most people. I hope everything goes well for all of you! ^^
racism needs to die
I'm a violinist, a singer. I want to learn how to animate. I want to learn how to create games. I'm love to draw but I'm not good at it. I want to create music. I want to inspire people. People say I'm a good writer. I'm not depressed, but I have no idea what to do in life and I'm afraid that I won't find the answer in time.
This... is amazing.
I too am learning how to animate, I'm a sophomore in college, I'm fairly good at drawing cartoons but not very good at software or computer stuff. You want to know the best advice that has kept me going? Be stubborn. Be stubborn as you possibly can and just keep at it and don't stop for anybody or anything, no matter what they say. I'm not going to guarantee you'll figure out your entire life after reading this, but I hope you'll at least look at it and consider it. I've always considered myself to be a dumb sack of shit sometimes, but because of me being a stubborn moron I managed to pull through in the end. It was hard, very hard. I've had to pull a few all nighters and not do what I wanted to do over the weekend. But I managed to pull through, not because I was the smartest or most talented, but because I was too damn stubborn to give up. And I think that is the advice that can help people accomplish even the most difficult of tasks.
Funny I always wanted to make music, all I can do is animate and draw
Are you my twin?
I feel you, I also like to draw and what to help others. And want to learn how to animate. But I have a fear of not knowing what to do. Or what to choose in life.
Check out skill share and see other animators! (Jeez I'm doing adds but it works anyway) Skill share can help sort out how to start and how animating works and stuff.
I'm not crying. I just have waterfalls in my eyes.

I've noticed all the people talking about how they have crazy disorders and listen to this song to help them. Keep fighting the good fight you guys.
But, personally, I'm not really depressed, I have friends, get good grades, etc. So, I want to represent the minority.
But, everyone has something in their life that hurts. Even fairly normal people like myself. So, no matter if you're depressed, have eating disorders, or if you're am absurd Marvel/DC fan, or if you hate chocolate, keep fighting the good fight.
Even if you're broken or normal, you have those highs and lows.
Relative Infinity You speak the truth, My mother had mistaken me with depression which hurt me emotionally that she'd think I'd want to kill myself! But it still hurt going to a psychologist, even if I don't have anything on me. So it's refreshing to see people like you who are normal but still hurt, even if they are small things. :)
Thank you for showing your support for those of us that suffer on a daily basis. I do, however, have a couple of things that I want to say about your statement.
1. You can have friends, get good grades and still have depression... I've been suffering since I was around 15 (I'm now 22) and have plenty of friends that support me through the good and bad days, I also got pretty good grades in high school despite everything going on.
2. Just because we have depression or any other form of mental illness doesn't mean we're not normal... Be it anxiety, schizophrenia, anorexia, bulemia, autism, bipolar etc., we're still normal human beings.
Like I said, I know that you're trying to be supportive to the many other people like myself who suffer with their own personal demons but please don't assume that we're all a certain way. No two people on this Earth are the same and those of us with mental illnesses are no different. Yes, everyone has ups and downs, ours are just more severe than most. I'm not trying to be a b*tch here and I apologise if it sends that way, I'm just trying to make you a little more aware. Some people may be reluctant to get help if they think that they'll be seen as not normal for how they feel, something which they have no control over.
As a girl with a family with so many issues, (autism, allergies, Tourrettes, etc.) I've had my own issues, and my own battle scars, but mine are all mental. This song is encouraging for me.
Hey.. Can we be friend?

Mine are psychically mentally and spiritual and core type of battle scars. I am all healed from this, but the scars still remain as a reminder of all of the many good and bad and happy and sad and scary and disturbing and hopeful things that I have been put through all throughout my life growing up.

don't stop the climb
also do some research in spontaneous healing or watch Zeitgeist moving forward there is always more beyond the horizon whether or not you have seen it yet its there
I was about fourteen the first time I found this video, right after the first time my dad physically abused me. It was also the first time I realized music could heal you. I cried my eyes out, promising myself I would rise to the challenge in the lyrics.
Now I'm nineteen. I've finished my first novel, we kicked my dad out, I've been to therapy and worked through a lot of my past trauma. We've moved to a new state and I'm making friends my own age for the first time since second grade. I'm here again but now I'm crying tears of joy.
This shit gets better, it really does. I see you, and I'm sending the biggest mental hugs. Keep fighting.

When my dearest friend showed me this song, I listened to it 24/7 to remind me that even though life may be tough at some point, I would keep fighting with I've you've got. You're not alone. Everyone who cares will help you. So don't make your life worse or even end it because somewhere out there you have friends like mine. Who treats you with care and respect.

"If you jump kid, don't be scared to fall"
Failure is only the end if we refuse to get up. The past can hurt, but we can either run from it, or learn from it. There will always be someone who cares for you, and nomatter what happens, there will be someone in this planet that loves you. So don't put yourself down, you are your own biggest critic, so always give yourself a five star review. The worst darkness us always followed by the brightest of light, and nomatter how many clouds block the sun, they all have a silver lining. So when you look back on the scars you have, then you can be proud that each one may have hurt, but it was never the end of your story.
Don't give up, I believe in you
this isn't just for those who get bullied and "look the part". anyone can get depression and or suicidal. most people don't realize that. that's why I really like this song because it doesn't focus on a certain group. it's to anyone who feels this way. everyone needs help now and again. people from all different parts and cultures. the jocks, the preps, the outcasts, the police, the military, doctors, nurses, etc. anyone can be depressed. remember that.
+Jordan Edwards Very true. My friends think I'm a happy-go-lucky nutjob, and then I go home and never leave my room, because I just get yelled at and smacked.
you sound like one of my friends he's so happy at school but when he gets home he just gets yelled at and nobody knows
thank you :) you just spoke my mind
For anyone, we've all got battle scars. Even those who simply got bored of life, and couldn't find more to be happy about.
Very True

This song is amazing af...
It made me cry and realize that life is worth it.
Since I have Depression I didn't cared about anything but now when I listen to this Song ,it made me realize everything...
Thank you Paradise Fears... this song made me happy and cry... ❤
I was not expecting to stumble on this tonight. I had sort of forgotten about this song, but the second I saw the image there in a playlist, I stopped still and stared. This song was so impactful to me going through some of the worst years of my life, struggling with my trauma from my CSA, broken family, suicidal ideation.
No matter what you’re going through, you are never alone; you are so loved. You are irreplaceable, one of a kind, throughout all the ages that have been or ever will be, there never has nor will there ever be another you.
God knew you and loved you and wanted you before you even existed. Let that sink in. He couldn’t abide with a world without you in it. You have so much worth in the eyes of your loving Father. Infinite. You are so cherished and adored. You MATTER. You have purpose. You are enough. You were made for more than pain and suffering. You are LOVED.
Hold on. Stay. Life is hard, it might not feel like it now and that’s OK, but every day is a precious blessing and one day you’ll feel that. You bring so much to this life, to this world.
Everyone has their own pain and scars, but I am in a much better place now. I don’t say that to sound braggy, I know there was a time when I would have thought anyone saying that didn’t understand true pain or were just being naive, but I say it because I want you to know unimaginable, seemingly impossible things can happen. Life won’t always be the same. What you’re going through will pass.
If you need prayer or to let out what you’re going through please let me know ❤
Wow, this helps. A lot. I pray to everyone going through that ugly feeling of depression. If you just "keep marching on" you'll make it through. You may have scars at the end of the battle, but you're alive. And these scars will prove just how tough you are. I should know, going through these sad times can destroy a person, like it's slowly doing to me. But, if you keep your head held high and proud. You will make it through this. I believe in you. Everyone in this comment section does. Just smile, right now, do it. It may feel weird or maybe even foreign on your lips, but it'll help. Just like this song. And the fact that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile just proves that. Even if you're an atheist, just know that God is with you, and if you still can't believe in him. Know that this awkward, teenaged, insane and weird girl is with you.
Now, smile and enjoy life. Somewhere in this world, whether it be right next to you or miles away. Someone loves you. They care.
Now smile. :)
thank you for what you said. You have made my day. 💖 Again, Thank you.
+Alyssa Arreola no one gives a shit
+Alyssa Arreola thanks
I never thought a comment could meme me sob. You helped me a lot.
thank you that helped a lot!!!
We all have shared a dark past. But maybe not the same, we just gotta look past where we were broken. An move on into a better future an life. Find the right one, settle down an BELIVE! These dark past are our Battle scars of life. They helped us improve in life. Including the others who are going through pain right now, find them, an find a way to help them like they would help you. Give the gift of giving even if you haven't recived it yet. If you are being bullied, don't fight back, be the better person an walk away. If you feel like there is no one who understands you, there are many people who understand you, you are never alone. Just find the person who understands you. Don't live your life in the shadows, be who you are, an who YOU want you to be not who others want you to be.
if you understand, share this please :) help others who need it!-Hellznemisis

May it always be worth it to
Keep Marching On.
“Do you remember when we learned how to fly” “If you jump kid don’t be scared to fall” Reminds me of when I ride my horse : ) I’m training her currently and I think we will go far 💗
I've had to put a lot of training into my first horse (yes, I did have riding experience first). When I first got her, she would barely trot with a rider and would buck whenever I tried cantering. Fast forward to a year later and she is constantly trying to go, go, go! She loves cantering and we are working our way up to jumping. Soon we will fly! So I guess here's a happy story among all the other depressing comments.
I hate how about 75% of the comments are just about Undertale, How someone got here from Undertale, or "hearing dis sung fillz u wit determination!!1". Just enjoy the beautiful song and it's wonderful message to keep fighting in life!
*****
*****
That's not the point, I'm saying that people should be focusing on the songs message rather than Undertale.
*****
Well you are right about that. I understand how people can connect to Undertale. I can as well. I just wish that they wouldn't go on about it... It just gets annoying after a while.
._. Am I the only one who read ''hearing dis sung fillz u wit determination'' with a retarded WILDCAT voice?
I'm sorry I jumped into a serious conversation about that.... I just had to mention it... :
Eko Wolfe
No I just reread it and I did too
People bullied me for my whole 6 years in elementary school just because I liked to read books.
That really affected me.
But I found my passion, my life, which is music. This song should be listened by everyone, because bullying, is not nice. And us, the bullied, should keep on Marching On.

I hate books, but at the same time... I admittedly love them, I just can't find the story I want. I'm sorry you were bullied, I was bullied too and even told I did inappropriate things... It hurts, but it also has to get worse before it can get better.
@@witheringrose1929 Very true. I'm sorry you got bullied. Bullies are insane, they're literally crazy. I just don't know why they're so cruel.
@Faye Naya Keep trying, it's all I can say! Good luck! Ignore the bullies. Books are awesome btw. ;D
@@sonic4528 I know... I just, stupid
@@witheringrose1929 How are you stupid? :3
hey, if you're reading this, dont give up and make sure to smile today! :)
Emma ツ卌 Thank you for your wonderful comment.
Thanks for that :) it’s hard to smile sometimes when your life is wonderful, but the one you love most has a life of hell
It’s a amazing comment but I’m not doing any good today. I dont Think i ever will....
Emma ツ卌 reading this did just make the smile come out
Little Girl: Whats on your arm?
Me: They're battle scars.
Little Girl: You fought in a war?
Me: Yeah. A long and hard one.
Little Girl: Thats so cool! Can I get one?
Me: No. Please do not ever get any. But I'll
tell you what. Whenever you see someone
else with battle scars, I want you to go
give them a hug, okay? Can you promise
me?
Little Girl: Yes, I promise.
A few days later we went to a short shopping spree. Suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager.
Teen: Why are you hugging me?
Little girl: Because... points you have
battle scars just like my babysitter.
The teen looks up at me, and I roll up my sleeve to show her. With tears in her eyes, she says one thing to me...
Teen: My war is far from being finished yet, but I'm not done fighting.
She bends down at eye level at the little girl
Teen: Thanks for giving me the strength
to keep fighting. You are forever my war

Hey! If you’re stumbling on this comment, it’s a sign. You belong here on earth. You are loved and valued and an important part of this world. You deserve happiness and good things. Stay strong!
I’ve been through a lot. I’ve lost three of my grandparents so far, I’m a HSP (highly sensitive person), I suffer from epilepsy, and I struggle with unwanted suicidal thoughts. These types of songs are some of the things that give me the will to keep going. That remind me that I’m not alone.
You are most definitely not alone! I’ve lost some people in my life and have been through I would say a lot! I hope you have luck in the future!!
I just found out about this band today, and I already love them
ikr!

This is an anthem to the homesick
For the beaten
The lost, the broke, the defeated
A song for the heartsick
For the standby's
Living life in the shadow of a goodbye
Do you remember when we learned how to fly?
We'd play make believe
We were young and had time on our side
You're stuck on the ground
Got lost, can't be found
Just remember that you're still alive
I'll carry you home
No you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
You've had enough
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
Keep marching on
This is a call to the soldiers
The fighters, the young, the innocent, the righteous
We've got a little room to grow
Better days are near
Hope is so much stronger than fear
If you jump kid don't be scared to fall
Well, we'll be kings and queens in this dream
All for one, one for all
You can light up the dark
There's this fire in your heart
Burning brighter than ever before
I'll carry you home
No, you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
You've had enough
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
On and on
Like we're living on a broken record
Hope is strong
But misery's a little quicker
Sit and we wait and we drown there
Thinking why I bother playing when it's unfair
They say life's a waste
I say they lack belief
They tell me luck will travel
I tell them that's why I've got feet
Left, right
Left, right
Moving along to the pulse of a heartbeat
This could be the last chance you have to fly
Do you like the ground?
Want it to pass you by?
Man, you had it all
When you were just a kid
Do you even remember who you were back then?
What do you want in life?
Will you be twice as strong?
What would you sacrifice?
What are you waiting on?
Don't stop
March on
I'll carry you home
No, you're not alone
Keep marching on
This is worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
You've had enough
But just don't give up
Stick to your guns
You are worth fighting for
You know we've all got battle scars
Keep marching on
Keep marching on
(Man, you had it all
(When you were just a kid)

Nice job. Also, I hope you and your crush ended up in a relationship.
Yes lesbians exist y’all
Lol this is old but i am happy for the both of you
One of the best songs ever created. Has such a powerful message unlike a lot of the songs today. Compare this song to JB's Sorry or Rihanna's Work. No contest.
+Sophie L Agreed. I love this song so much.
"WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK"
"Keep marching on, your worth fighting for!"
Which is better???
true... i dont really think rihannas or jb's work is really meaningful
Ever heard about melanie martinez?
Try listening to twenty one pilots,car radio for example
I've been self-harming for two years and I never would've imagined my arms and legs and shoulders and stomach would look like this when I started. It gets better, please never hurt yourself. It's NEVER worth it. Now my story is etched into my skin, when I want nothing to wipe it away and start over. you can DO IT!
Honestly, this is the greatest comment I've ever seen.
Ikr. so true.best comment so far Noah:)
+Noah Bradford Personally I would cover my scars with beautiful tattoos :) I know lots of people who use tattoos over scars to help them love their bodies again.
Can we just appreciate someone took the time to hand write and take a picture of every word?
Why would somebody dislike this video? Even if they didn't like the song, do they even realize how much effort it took for this person to plan out the spacing of the words and do tedious work to take a picture after writing down every single word and then get the timing just right???!!!! This is an amazing song and an amazing lyric video!!!! Kudos to destinedtoexplode for taking the time and effort to make this lyric video!!!!!!! :)
They suck they are nothing
EurynomeEclipse13 Who? Paradise fears? No they are'nt!

Those who feel lost, forgotten, unloved, or have thoughts of suicide, PLEASE read this.
Yesterday last night, me and my dad were talking about some friends of friends that committed suicide and some friends of my own who almost have. It’s sad, no one seems to have hope anymore.
I tell my friends and other total strangers I see who want to take their life, “I know things are hard and I know lift is tough. But those days are to make us stronger. There will always be good days and bad days, your up’s and downs. Lift is worth living even when you’re in the deepest of the deep, where hope is lost and everything seems dark. But there will always be that little light and you just gotta reach out for it. There are people who need you as much as you need them. They may not seem to care but they do, they really do. You may not know those people yet but you will later on sometime in your life. Everyone as a purpose in life. YOU have a purpose in life. You many not see it yet but you do. If there was no purpose, none of us would be here.”
Me as a dreamer, I strive to look for my purpose. I have already found it. I want to save those who have no hope, those who feel like they don’t have a purpose, who feel unloved, forgotten, invisible. No one should feel that way. Everyone is loved. If you are reading this and you feel like this as said above, YOU ARE LOVED. I don’t know you but if no one else will love you, I will.

For all of you who are depressive, axious, have suffered bullying, have ocd, been raped or abused, have ever selfharmed, or have any other types of probems that were not listed here, don't worry, you are not alone, and I am here to help you out no matter what. Don't worry, I've been there, I know how it feels, but it is not worth it. Put down the knives, un-tie the ropes, throw the pills away, put the razors back in the sharpner, stay away from the edge of the building and put the gun away. I know it may seem like the end of the world, but trust me, _it gets better._
Thank you ♡
"killing yourself doesn't make your life better, it just guarantees it wont get better"
I've almost done all the things you said not to do. I almost jumped off a bridge down to a busy highway, and its only getting worse.
Please 00130132... Don't do this... Killing yourself is NOT worth it! You still have an entire life ahead of you, killing yourself won't make things better! Trust me, it's not worth it...
it seems like every day I get closer and closer to my breaking point I cant take it anymore
man this song gets to me. I lost 3 amazing friends this year to suicide. It kills me everyday knowing they aren't with us anymore. Rest easy Ado, Mike, and Jack. you guys are missed. I love you guys.
I'm sorry for your loss :( I lost my aunt to suicide. I can't even remember what she looked like
T-T this comment had me in tears...Hope they rest well...

+Emily C. Nice!
Yes im not the only one!!!!!!
I did play undertale and I am saying that because this song means somethings from my past and when I had only one friend out of 1,265 people in the whole school and I wasn't the brightest but when I moved I have a lot of friends now so... Understand that
Ever since I found this song I've been listening to it every time an especially har final or midterm comes along.
I started last year. The second year of uni was not only particularly difficult but many subjects were mind numbing. 8 A.M classes almost every day. Sleeping for 6 hours was a luxury. Finals came along. I lost motivation to study, failed two HUGE exams.
This song helped me trough it. I took the exam again. I passed.
Here I am, a year later, listening to this song while studying for what is probably the hardest exam I ever had. Every time I feel like throwing the bloody book trough the window I listen to this. It helps.
I'm proud to say that this song had become one of my motivation songs. :')
Me too :)
I've always thought about self harming but I realize it would also be hurting the people that care for me deeply and I don't want that for them, I want them to stay happy. For those that self harm, you can talk to me, I want to help all of you. Please let me show at least some use to all of you who have suffered. I will be here to comfort you all. Come to me, my precious friends. I will help you fight your battle or try. For those that no longer self harm, I'm sincerely glad you have won your battle. Stay well all of you.
To add on to what you're saying, (not trying to offend people), but I think suicide is the most selfish thing you can do. You're ending your misery, but, at the same time, you're forcing misery onto the people who care for you.
+Heaven Jones So you are only interested in talking to suicidal people and self harmers ? If not only them , then I am interested.
+Relative Infinity Suicide and self harm are the most selfish things someone can do and people always right me when I say that , but I am glad that I see someone else to also understand. Finally. Thank you.
Heaven Jones can I contact you somehow I really need it
Heaven Jones i know it was forever ago you posted this but i just wanted to say its really nice of you to sopport people you dont acually know in person and I dont have any problems my self but great job on staying strong for all the people around you :D
Whether it's writing a last-minute essay, providing motivation for a project or inspire a new will to live, this song does it all and never lets me down. What an absolute masterpiece.
❤❤❤
This is such a great song, there will always be pain, sorrow, injustice, pandemics, etc. But things always get better, there will be brighter days ahead. It's easy to despair, but it's better to hang on to hope. We will beat this pandemic and we will create a better world. It gets better.
I recently lost my 2 friends, I'm suicidal and have anxiety. I love my friends but it's over and I'm insane. My true love are my friends. All I want is a big hug from them, for them to be back. To remove the past. I'm nothing other than a suicidal 11 year old sitting here crying wanted love.
Mr.Ben Playz
I'm so sorry... If you need anything, I could probably help you...
If it helps, I'm a suicidal 12 year old with freakishly low self-esteem. But it's temporary. There's a whole community of people that are fighting or have survived the same battle. Hang in there. We should all live for each other if no one else
Let me tell you something. It's a proven fact that people who think they're insane, aren't actually insane. People who are, tell people they're lying and that they know nothing. And you have people who love you. The people you have lost to death, are now your guardian angels. I lost my great great grandpa when I was 7 or 8 and lost one of my brothers to a drug overdose two years ago on Thanksgiving. I hate it with a passion. But I refuse to commit suicide due to religious beliefs. I'm a 13 year old with ADD and ADHD. I was bullied both mentally and physically, as well as sexually harassed at my campground by someone who I thought was a friend. My mom has brain cancer and lung cancer and is suffering from depression. She has been abused before, and her mother wouldn't take care of her. Now, she wants to die, but refuses to kill herself because of religious beliefs. So don't think that way. People love you. Even if you think they don't, they do. Always remember that.
I have anxiety, depression, my only friend live 635 km far away from me, and the girl I like too.
I suffered bullying, I have self harmed and I have past a lot of time crying in my room. I was sexually abused at age 12 by my girlfriend of that moment, now I'm alone.
Tomorrow, I will become 14 years old. And I am afraid of life.
But at the time. I am hopeful that I will get to see my friend, see my crush someday, she lives near to my BFF, and life is so BIG.
WE HADN'T TASTED LIFE. We have a long time to spend happily with the people that matter. So don't give up and cheer, I am with you guys. We will grow and be who we wanna be, we don't have to stop.
And we will not, right?
@@kristenk17 Just don't take yourself any time soon. Always remember that there are people in this world who love you (like Daniel), and it IS human to feel like that. But as long as you remember that people care about you, and you stay happy, that will not happen to you. Just hang in there. As you said, it gets better and they are in no pain. You WILL join them some day, just not ANY time soon. We will all miss you if you're gone soon.
I'm 16 years old. I play clarinet and I write. I want to go to college for child psychology or social work. I'm suicidal. I have severe depression and anxiety. My mom has severe anxiety and depression. My stepdad is bipolar and has ADHD amongst other disorders. My biological dad has anger issues and isn't around. I constantly feel like I'm two steps from the edge. This song just became my new favorite.
I listen to this song almost every day, just to remind myself to keep going. I'm a depressed trans kid and this song helps me so much.
For me, today happens to be thanksgiving, which means dealing with unsupporting family memebers for an entire day. Including my aunt, who i was relatively close to for most of my childhood, and when I came out to her she called me a whore and said "you can't just magically change your gender, it doesn't work like that." I came home, went directly to my room and listened to this song.
that is so uncool what your aunt did too you I hope things get better for you. #lgbtforlife!!😊😊✌✌✌
Keep fighting, Karkles. I kinda know how you feel. I hope that someday, sun will break through your clouds.
Alexander Hamilton Just because you can't change your gender doesn't mean you can't try
Don't focus on the people who dislike you for you being trans, focus on the people who support you for discovering who you are.
Michael Mell don't listen to your aunt,be what you wanna be,and be it,no one can take your will to be something, and I know someone loves you and cares about you, enjoy life to the maximum and be happy,buddo.
My family is always stressing me out....I'm beaten up at school....and it never stops....one of my few friends I have told me about this song....I listened to it....now I feel a little better....I just need to be me....I can't let them stop me from what I want to do in life

_sassy_bean agreed
Yes, I came here from Undertale. And I have to say something.
I've been betrayed and bullied so many times. I've been underrated, broken, full of hate. But, I know one thing.
I'm good student, writer, friend, actress... even after all, weak ones are gonna hate. They would always find bad side, even if you're perfect, no matter that's impossible. Cuz they are filled with hate. They are disappointed, so they judge others. So? Are you gonna surrender just because some idiot doesn't like you. No, I won't fight back. They are not worth it. And I'm not like them. I'm trying to see good in every single being, cuz we all have our brighter sides. So I won't do same thing they do.
I know we all came from different fandom, having different faiths. And I don't care. Cuz it doesn't matter what you believe in. It matters you believe in something. In something that keeps you going. So, whoever you are, wherever you are and whenever you reading this - stay determined. Cuz you are worth it. Go ahead and smile right into their face. Whoever they are, whoever stops your dreams - just go ahead. Cuz as long as you hope, there is a chance. There's one more piece of goodness in this world. And one day, you'll be the winner.
DON'T LET THEM STOP YOU! HOPE IS STRONGER THAN FEAR!
agreed
*You are filled with DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE, KINDNESS, INTEGRITY, PATIENCE, JUSTICE, BRAVERY, and HOPE while reading this!*
What undertale video? I found this song when I frequented watt pad when I was 12
@@kadenic someone out there probably did an undertale amv with this song.
Same but i love this song
I just want to say thank you. I was going through a really dark time where I was planning on taking my life and this and plenty of other songs like it kept me going. You guys are amazing
I have been listening to this song since 2016. I ran across it one day after I was released from a 2 week hospital stay after a failed suicide attempt. Whenever I felt down or lonely or like life was kicking me to the curb, this was my go to song. I started a Facebook page for suicide awareness and shared this video every year. Even if it helps just one. From the very bottom of my heart I thank you for this song. It has saved me more than once. Big love!
This video makes me wanna change all the bad things that happened to you or the people who let you down fades , Tha your still fighting for your big dreams.
I haven't cried in weeks. I'm crying from joy. I suffered a great loss recently and things have been getting worse for myself and my friends. TH-cam's recommended this to me for a year, so I finally decided to listen. This is the song I never knew I needed. THANK YOU.
It’s been 6 months I hope everything is a lot better now! I’ve been through my fair share of things and I honestly just found this song! I hope good luck is with you in the future!!
@@Definitelynotatimelord Thank you! Things have been getting much better. Although it's ups and downs, sometimes minor, sometimes drastic, I'm still getting along just fine. I hope your days serve you well in the near future, too. I don't know what you've gone through, what you are going through, but you've got this!
Just think of it like this, okay? I've used this metaphor so many times, and I hope it will help. It works as a metaphor for a road to recovery and, well, your struggles through anything, really, it can be applied to many things.
You're climbing up a mountain. There's reflective surfaces in every cave, and there's a BUNCH of caves you're travelling through. Your reflection wants to stop and give up, but you have a rope tying the two of you together, so you keep pulling them along. You fall off the mountain, a lot, losing a lot of progress. But you're getting closer and closer, and even if each fall nearly kills you, you get right back up and keep on dragging your reflection along. Your "reflection" is yourself, you're trying to get them to change, to heal, whatever your goal is, you're trying to get them to it. You're dragging yourself along for the sake of yourself and others. There's progress, and yes, a fair amount of regress, but ultimately the net is progress. It's slow, and by GOD it's frustrating and exhausting, but it's worth it to be able to stand on top of that mountain and shout out to the world that you made it, right? To hear your voice echo out for miles, telling everyone that you made it, you did it, you lived. It can take days, months, or even years, and you might even be climbing multiple mountains at once, but once you've conquered them all, it's gonna be worth it. I promise you.
No apologies. No excuses. No regrets. Never forget. March on. x
This is a message for anyone who may be struggling.
This is my suicide story.
Two years ago, I started cutting myself. I still have visible scars leading up and down both sides of my left arm. Ill tell you why: I grew up in a very small trailer that I had to share with six other family members, and many, many colonies of millions of cockroaches. My parents used to be drug addicts. My dad was (and still is) an excessive alcoholic. Both of my parents still smoke cigarettes. So they would fight almost every night, but I never was really affected by it. I was never exposed to the real world until I reached elementary school. I was fearless. Bold. But then, something changed about me. I felt like my parents just didn't care for me anymore, I started talking less at school. I didn't have many friends. I only noticed some of these signs from way early back in kindergarten. These signs only got stronger the more I grew. This is when I met my first demon. It nested itself right in the center of my brain, completely cognating my mind. From that point on, I didn't see the world how my young, innocent self did.
Lets skip to 6th grade. This is when I started to cut. My first cut was the deepest of them all. Its the most visible scar I have. The pain hurt at first, but soon adrenaline filled my wounds. It made me want to do it more. And thats what I did. The only person that ever caught on was my older sister. She told my parents, which they didn't really do anything except tell me "I don't get it. Thats stupid." and shamed me for being sad. At least, thats what it felt like. So my situation merely worsened. Nobody ever knew besides my family and rarely, close friends.
7th grade was when I found my longest lasting relationship. I never realized how much I would regret it, because as I said, I was only in 7th grade. I was still oblivious to some parts of the world. I was so happy with him. That is, until my family noticed something off. He was 16, and I was 13. I didn't see this as an issue. I had a normal relationship for a good few months until something took a completely different route. I went into cyber sex. Yes, ill admit it. I did that. I didn't see anything wrong with it at the time. But the first time I got caught, my family opened my eyes. I didn't want to do it anymore. But I still did, because I loved him and I loved making him happy. From that point on, I felt trapped in his bubble. I wanted to escape. The only freedom I thought of was suicide, so I started cutting again. I was never happy anymore.
In 8th grade I caught feelings for this boy. He fit exactly my needs. But the thing is, he also had a girlfriend. Keep in mind I was still with my other boyfriend. Luckily, they didn't last long. I didn't want to cheat, but then again, I did. Not like he would know; because he lived all the way across the country. I made the decision of staying loyal and hid my feelings for him under a thick blanket inside my mind. Then he got another girlfriend. Her name was Sara. I noticed how happy they were together, which made me really devastated. I envied her. "Why can't I be just like her?" I remember asking myself. Every time I would walk past and see their hands conjoined, I had a burning feeling inside that made me just want to break down in the middle of school. But after years of torment, I learned to contain it.
I noticed after they got together that something wasn't right. They weren't happy at all. My friend pulled me aside one day with Sara helping me break them up. Sara told me that she never really loved him. I was ecstatic, but was also devastated at the same time. After his first breakup, him and I became really close friends. I learned that he too was depressed, so I had no idea how to tell him that his "one and only" (his exact words) didn't really love him. Instead, I rerouted the situation for him to really express how I felt about him. He admitted that he started to like me too. I was ecstatic for the time being... Then things turned to hell. They got into frequent fights, and when I tried to help him, he ignored me and threatened to turn to suicide. Again, no matter what I tried, it didn't help. My last resort was to open up to him more about how I felt about him. Miraculously, it worked every time. We inched closer and closer to each other from that point forward. Long story short, they ended with breaking up. Since he already knew how he felt about me, and him feeling the same way, his temptation got the best of him. He started hugging and holding my hand more often. Then one day, I gave in as well. I let him be my first kiss. The rest of that night, I was scared because I was still in another relationship at the time. I felt so guilty. I cried myself to sleep that night.
Lets skip to today now. My boyfriend and I went on our own separate journeys, and I started my own journey with my new boyfriend. Spite having pretty crappy backstories, we're happy together. And I thought it was never going to happen, but it did. Hell, I even got a bunny to lift my spirits. Take this from me and many other similar stories: *things do get better.* don't worry, god is setting up your life plan right now. Just have faith and patience, and a gift will soon come your way. Now some of you may say, "I've been waiting for years, its never came." that only means god is setting something up bigger than you've expected. Just have faith and it will come your way.
How does this not have more likes?

MARCH ON..!"
I've seen so much pain in my life, I've lost friends to depression, they didn't kill themselves but they're unfixable, their ideologies of the world are messed up, I had to watch it, unable to help anymore, it's left me broken and defeated, it's cruel how they're treated, this world has so many things wrong with it, no matter how you spin it abuse is hard to avoid no matter where you live, yet there's a tiny sliver of hope. I implore you to help those that you suspect are being abused.
To anyone who is reading this: You are worth fighting for! Someone cares about you! Keep marching on! You can do it!
Oof I’m one of the only people reading this. Oh well, I can still pass on your message to my poor boyfriend
Not really. No one ever told me directly that they care about me... I don’t mind though because I deserve it after all I have done to the world
I can really relate to this because when you're and equestrian it's hard not to give up. There have been so many times when I wanted to give up. Either it be getting bucked off or frustrated, I have always gotten back on or gotten back to what I was doing before. For those people in dark times, I might be young, but I know those dark times. A few years ago I had my best friend die. For some people when you say your best friend is a horse, they basically tell you to go get a life, but if you understand it then you know that bond that just clicks. And about a month after my horse died, my uncle died. I went into a state of depression and one day I was scrolling through my feed and found an edit. I think it was superroskamgirl or something like that. I remember getting up and going out to see the rest of my horses and I knew I was gonna get through it.
I'm so sorry about your uncle and your horse. I totally know what you mean about how this relates to equestrians though. Do you ride English or western? Horseback riding helped me through hard times as well.
Horselover 101 Thanks! I ride both, but I am hoping to start riding English more. :)
Nice! I ride English :)
I understand what its like to lose a horse it feels like you lost part of your soul. I had a horse his barn name was Tea, I had known him since I was born and he was the frist horse I rode and competed on. When I lost him I lost my reason to get out of bed in the morning, my parents are not horse people (my grandma has a farm where he lived) so they didn't understand at all. Since then I have had two more horses, Blue (we called him Buba) and Ultra. Blue died last year and I still miss him greatly. Ultra is the horse I currently ride, we ride english. I would like to start Jumping and trail riding.
Ultra 101 I haven't had to put a horse down, but I have had to give away a horse I had since I was 4. I do jumping as well
Ive never been an emotionally external person. i never knew why, but its like i have some blockage keeping me from letting it all out. Im going to be seeing a therapist soon for depression and anxiety. No one that I know as friends seem to care though. I try my best not to mistreat others or treat them badly because of my depression. i also dont use it as an excuse. its just something I am. I just wish some beautiful individual. a women. who truly cares... Not so sure thats even possible. Just someone. anyone. the reason im on here is because i have no one to talk to. or no one will be serious for a second.
Hi, how are you?
First, my english is REALLY bad sorry about that!
I'm here because I want say this to you:
Good luck with life my friend. Yeah, I don't really know who you are and I'm not good to cheer up people but I want to try.
I'm pretty sure you'll find a woman who loves and cares you.
Good luck with depression and anxiety too.
I'm just 13 years old bullied kid and I don't necessarily know how to help, but I've seen a lot of thing.
I hope that my comments will help you even a little bit and you will be better soon.
Have a really good day and..
DON'T
GIVE
UP
Dude,I've got bad depression too,none of my friends care and my parents have seen it but they don't care... anyway I hope you're doing well with Therapy and stuff
It's ok,your English is really good
Wait what, my comment disappeared or something..?
O_o
I'm too lazy to write it again (sorry about that) but this is the most important thing about it:
Don't give up.
I'm here trying to cheer you up, who ever you are reading my comment and listening this wonderful song.
I hope you have a really good day!
if you'd like I can chat with ya! I wanna help anyone that needs help if I can
This is so heart touching to some people cause all the man is singing is true...
This song brung me to tears…I hope who ever reads this knows this old ass song has just put ALOT of things into perspective.
I listened to this song just a year after it released, I thought it was a really good song back then to but I never understood the lyrics due to me being innocent youth. However I’m 18 and I’m struggling to get on my feet along with several other issues I’m facing in life. I came back to this song as I remembered it off of the top of my head after I was told the way I draw hearts was weird lol. So i came back to this song and the lyrics couldn’t be more powerful 9 years later.
To the creators of this masterpiece: Thank you, I may still be lost but with my newfound clarity hopefully I can see my way to the long road I’m supposed to march on.
Everyone here, to the creators to the person reading this comment you are awesome. Don’t let anyone tell you different, and remember that the toughest battles you fight aren’t with anyone but yourself. Believe in the you within, and keep marching on. 💕
I've had major depressive disorder panic anxiety and ADHD for as long as I can remember. It hurts so bad so much. But the day I told my mom I cut was the best decision of my life. Yes there were bad meds that sent me to the hospital. Yes there were times I had a plan and took the car ride to the hospital crying not wanting to go back. But it does get better. I can't stress that enough so please put down the razors and the ropes and shit and tell someone.
I don’t think it was adhd I think it was the depression you were distracted about cause you’re born with adhd you don’t just get it I think I have adhd but my dad doesn’t believe me
I really want to do that! But I'm scared of what will happen, my parents would maybe yell at me, and every time I try to speak something keeps me from speaking like I'll start off saying "hey Mom I hav-..nvm I forgot what I was going to say.."
i sung this and passed my crush while I was walking home once, and they followed me until I finished XD
oh my god that's adorable ♡

I can’t take anybody here seriously because of the shitty grammar and emojis.
@@Tidepod_Prince IKR, tbh its a bit like gibberish.
All of my friends are back in my old state. They all live hours from each other, and yet, this song connects each of us. When I listen to it, I feel like I'm there with them again. The power of music is truly amazing
This made me feel better. And loved
OMG HEY ANJEE XD I SAW THIS ON A SHORT FILM AND LOVED IT AND NOW IC YOUR COMMENT

I absolutely love this song, it literally picks me up out of hell
Karasukya same
I'm 27. I've struggled with my depression for as long as I can remember. I've been told I'm too young to know what real depression is. I have nothing to be sad about. It's only recently I've had the courage to actually seek out professional help. I still have a past I need to come to grips with but I am.It's not an easy fight but in the end, it is a fight I'm willing to take. Don't stop fighting.
this song makes me so happy XP I love it so much
it makes me want to keep believing so I will :D
heh like the song says we all got battle scars but just keep marching on
so I will :3
marry me ?
I forgot how much this song meant to me. Thank you I wouldn't have ever seen this without you. I wouldn't be here without this song. Thank you. I'll make sure to thank Paradise fears soon to
This song is so beautiful. And the video is so creative
