Yo Fam,
I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.
Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.
With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

man your music is cool, dont stop that thing, you never know what future reserve for you, use the gift you have, if is a gift, for sure will have a meanig for your life, is hard to stop, but is need courage to keep going, do ya thang
I was paid 104000 bucks in 2017 by freelancing from my house and I manage to accomplish that by working part time for 3+ h on daily basis. I used work model I stumbled upon from company that i found online and I am so thrilled that I was able to earn so much money on the side. It's so user-friendly and I'm just so grateful that I found out about this. Here is what i did... *newsuperb71.com*
Jay Sarma don't wish for it, work for it 💪🏻
Jay Sarma dont stop uploading bro.....cool music :D
This is hella depressing but everytime I hear the part 'this life is like a razor, When it cuts I bleed. But it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me' I start to cry... my entire life I feel like I've been sabotaging my own life because I don't feel like I'm good enough to live. But I'm trying so hard to change that mindset and become a person I'm proud of being and earning the place I have on this earth. This is honestly my most favorite song ever because it reminds me of how far I've come.
Same I listen to this song 4 to 5 times a day.
You’re gonna make it friend!!! Stay strong! God bless you!!!
Just Keep Going 💜💜
-Change is one of the most difficult things that we face.
-Change is inevitable
-one reason we dont like change is we get comfortable with were we are.
-we get used to our friends, or job, the place we live.
-and even if it's not perfect, we accept it because it's familiar.
-what happens is because we are not willing to change, we get stuck with what god used to do, instead of moving forward and doing what god is about to do.
-just because god has blessed you with what you have, it doesn't mean you can just sit back and settle there.
- you have to stay open to what god is doing now.
-what worked 5 years ago, might not work today.
-if you want to be successful, you have to be willing to change.
-every blessing is not ment to be permanent.
-every provision is not ment to last forever.
-we should constantly evaluate our friendships.
-who is speaking into your life, who are you depending on.
-make sure they are not dragging you down, limiting you from blossoming.
-everybody is not supposed to be in our life forever.
-if you don't get rid of the wrong friends you will never meet the right friends.
What is “good enough”? Who told you that you had to earn your place? You’re here on purpose whether you do something with your life or not. It took me a long time to come to that conclusion. If you do absolutely nothing with your life you’ve already earned your spot. Sometimes just getting up and starting your day is an accomplishment. Life is a journey NOT a destination. Pride yourself in small things, they can add up with time.
This song is incredibly close to my heart. For years I have struggled with depression and anxiety and other things.
I've scared almost everyone in my life away from me because of it. Friends have abandoned me when I needed them the most, family became quiet, and I became distant because of it.. I didn't want to hurt anyone else because I was hurting myself. I would be pushing people away without realizing it, losing myself because of it, stuffing down my feelings til it began to kill me and take over my head. I was all alone with seemingly no one to turn to. I didn't want to take anyone else down with me. So I became quiet too.. I faked a smile, and distanced myself from people who I knew didn't care about me and my mental health, but what I didn't realize is that I was pushing away people who cared. Cause I cared about them too much, I didn't want to hurt them too..
I am at my all time low in my life, attempted suicide because of it a few weeks ago, but here I am still.
I am still suffering more than my brain can wrap itself around, more than I can contain.
Illenium if you wind up reading this, I'd like you to know that when you released this song I had never felt more connected to you. I felt everything that was put into this song. I felt every emotion, every word, every pain felt, everything. I cried as soon as I heard it, drew some art inspired by it, and still listen to it everyday. It reminds me of how you pulled yourself out of a dark time, and I hope I can do it too.
I'd like to thank you for making this, it really hits close to home.
Love you Nick. Thank you for your wonderful music.
Keep living please you are a BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING, never give up i know times get rough and it seems like the only way out but there are better ways to deal with your problems you are loved even by me PLEASE make your life great
don't know why but when the beat dropped I had sensation all over my body. I too am suffering from anxiety disorder (harm ocd , pocd ,mood disorder)
this song broke me into tears ......😭😭😭😭😭
Jett blue wolf
I too was kicked out by everyone when I was going tru the hardest time of my life .....may god bless you and give you power to get rid of this shit
I don't know you neither I know who you are. But these things you said went straight through my heart because I feel the same way you do. We maybe different in terms of creed, caste, religion and society but we feel the same. That's what connects us and the medium being this wonderful song. A person from an another country and place can't feel the same but through a medium relating to both the sides. This is music. Wishing you a great life ahead and success. And for me too. Cheers! 🎂
Good luck my friend. Have it very similliar.
"Take you down" Lyrics
I didn't mean to hurt you
When I hurt myself
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
No I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me
(Chorus)
When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
Take you down, take you down with me
Down with me
This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
When it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way that you can rescue me
(Chorus 2)
When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
You need to let go now
Before you dream
I know that you won't understand
You need to let go of this hand
Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me
*don't wanna take you down with me*
This truly does reflect a lot of people who have any kind of problem with addiction, thank you for making this masterpiece and many others I have personally listened to throughout the years! :)
Trevor Kidd I love so much this lyrics 😊
His story inspired me
Actually i think it's "you need to let it go now, before you drowned"

*FUN FACT:* The *vocalist* actually is a *male* . The vocals were rasied up to like, *2 semitones* , to make it sound like the vocals belong to a *female singer* .

Thank you Nick, thank you for sharing your story and impacting thousands of people. Your music saved my life, words couldn't even begin how to say Thank you. We're all extremely grateful for your music, keep inspiring us, and helping all of us push past the darkness. Much love brother!

Lawrence Lee stay strong brother!
I love it! Has such an emotional story behind the song, which makes me appreciate this even more! 😍
xX fruitbowl35 Xx shut up loser
Elliot Bell well... you offend people here for appreciate sharing his story. to me you look like a loser tryin to be tough through offending people online that talk about "emotions". sigh... (ps: emotions are REAL, not GAY)
Con Tradict nah, you're gay
Elliot Bell ok mr. idontfeelanything maybe you just skipped some steps in evolution and u are just way ahead of that gay population of emotional beings. i feel so sorry for you that u have to live with us and i truly wish we could all be as tough as u are.
#Motherhood nono, sorry! will edit ^^
Friends: Bro you’re so weird.
Dad: You’re so disrespectful!
Mom: What’s wrong with you?
Brother: Why are you so messed up?
Illenium: Hey man, I’ve been through that and a lot worse. If I can make it, then you can too.
From a human heart to another human heart, I sincerely thank you for your vulnerability and diving deep into this space. It's so apparent why you do what you do. You've shared parts of so many of our souls, and let us know that we're not alone. The darkness can be so lonely, so daunting, so dim, so bleak, so hopeless. But to hear and know that there are others out there in the darkness fighting the same exact demons radiates hope. And even if one can't feel or see the light in this very moment, even if it seems impossible to go on, to know that one is not alone, can be the spark one is looking for. To know that from this place of complete darkness, one can be an alchemist. One can turn the darkness into art, an expression of the human experience. Because at our very core, we're not all that different. We tap into the same pain, we feel the same joy, we experience the same depth in the universe. We're all just various mixtures of the same stardust. THANK YOU.
We are not alone, all those times i thought i'm alone in this, but, now, I'm 100% sure that I'm not alone. To all the people across the globe. You are not alone, we are here for you, I'm here for you. Don't you ever feel that.
You can do it and overcome anything. Keep fighting WARRIORS ♥
Julie Braley Maaaan This is beautiful ❤️
This post was deeper than this song :p
True
I screenshot it maan ✌️✌️ I jst loving it
I know this comment will go unnoticed, and I don’t care, because it’s only for me.
My cat died today. I owned her for only 5 short years, she didn’t deserve the hard life she had, and I wish I could have done more to help make her life better before she passed from some unknown disease.
Cali, you left a hole in my heart that I’ll never fill. And I love you more than anything.
I wish I wouldn’t have taken you down with me. Maybe it was my bad luck, whatever it was, she didn’t deserve it. This world is cruel, and you didn’t deserve anything but the best.
unavailibill well not completely
Rip
I’m so sorry for you loss...
I’m sure you did everything you could to help her and now she is probably in a better place
I'm sorry :(
Sorry for your loss,
in my Opinion loss is the most painful mental pain, especially since I’ve been through it more than once...so I hope you can carry on knowing your kitty is inside of your heart. ❤️

Absolutely chilling. The song itself is already beautiful but the meaning behind it makes it truly that much more powerful. Thank you for this stunning piece of music.
Jonah Karpinski what is the meaning behind ? Can u tell me ?
hey, read the description, it's about his past addiction and how his mother never gave up on him
I lost my husband of 25 years in January due to complications of addictions. We weren't together at the time because of the addiction but we had 4 amazing daughters together and I'll always Love him. In May this year I saw you perform at EDC Vegas and tripped with you. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for that journey through my feelings and helping me connect. "Where'd you go?" was particularly special. Thank you. I am your new fan and I hope you find your peace. Much love to all 💗
@UnlistedHacker thank you, fam. I'm 42. We married when I was 17 and he was 19. I miss him every day. 💗
@UnlistedHacker ❤️
I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. It's obviously not the same, but my best friend passed July 2019 from an OD. I remember thinking at his funeral how I wish he'd been there to crack a joke and make us feel better. He had a knack for making the best of shitty situations, but he struggled after returning from Iraq and the addiction set in hard. Rest in peace bud, and I'll catch ya on the other side.
@Shahid XD yes thank you! Will never stop missing him but we are all ok as he promised we would be. ❤ can't wait to get out to edc this October! Just wish illenium was playing😭😭😭💗
@Shahid XD absolutely! All about the kids
We can't lose you like we've lost the others...
Thank you, Illenium, for all you've done for us.

This is gorgeous man, glad such a beautiful product came from such a difficult time.
I was obssessed with cutting myself, and having suicidal thoughts. i found my peace by listening to Illenium, and streaming video games to talk to a lot of people in the community. This song touched my heart and it made me realize that no matter who you are, there’s always a good reason why people are counting on you.
For anyone struggling with addiction and/or mental health issues
Know that you're not alone and there are people who can help with whatever you need
Let this art be the door that leads to a more peaceful life

No, I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me
When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
You're the love in my heart
Only love in my heart
Take you down
Take you down with me
(Don't wanna take you down)
(Take you down)
Down with me
Down, you're down with me
Down, you're down with me
(You're the love in my heart)
(Only love in my heart)
(Take you down)
This life is like a razor
When it cuts, I bleed
But it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
And there's no way that now you could rescue me
When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
But you need to let go of this hand
'Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me
And I don't wanna take you down with me
Take you down, down with me

Illenium. Nick. You have no idea how much your music means to me. More than words could express. Especially your AWAKE album. Your music has helped me through some of the toughest parts in my life thus far and to read what you've said that you've been through made this song and all your other songs even more special to me. I'd just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work you have done. Thank you for devoting your time and passion into making music for us and thank you for helping not only myself but others as well, though your music. Love you and love to hear more from you!!!

[Verse 1]

When I close my eyes
I’m climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don’t wanna take you down with me
Take you down, take you down with me
(Take you down, take you down, take you down)
Down with me
[Verse 2]
This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand
And I'm doing it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way that now
You could rescue me
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I’m fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don’t wanna take you down with me
[Bridge]
You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
You need to let go of these hands
Cause I'm going now
And I don't wanna take you down with me
[Outro]
And I don't wanna take you down with me
Take you down, down with me
Al Bruce thx for the lyrics
Beautiful song! Your story is very inspiring and I am extremely happy that you were able to overcome your struggles in order to create this truly beautiful music! You are a huge inspiration to me, and good luck going forward!
That description hit hard 😢. I have been battling depression for so long and honestly those dark times bring out the worst in us. Feels like we have no one to pull us out of the mess we made and it’s like music is the only escape when the pains to strong. Thankyou for yet another awesome song.
go gym bro
~The way Illenium make musics look so sad but in so inspirational in the same time is incrarible!~
Yesssss. Dude, it’s rare that I like half the things an artist makes. But dude, I freakin love pretty much everything you put out.
Tyler Hunt haha same. I only like 1 from each artists album. But illenium I love it all
Tyler Hunt same here! Love almost every song of his!
Bro...I just read your story in the description, YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE!!!
I am so happy for you!
Through an Action, a Man becomes a Hero.
Through Death, a Hero becomes Legend.
Through Time, a Legend becomes Myth.
Through hearing a Myth, a Man takes an Action....
one acts, then dies, then remembered, then forgotten, then remembered again as an inspiration for another one who acts
The letter gave more depth to the song!!
Fellow #Illenials form India, show some love!!
My hero illenium
My top 3:
1. Take You Down
2. Fractures
3. Gold (Stupid Love)
I’ve listened to this song basically since it’s release. Every once in a while I’ll scroll through the comments for hours reading everyone’s stories. The community here is so incredibly supportive and I genuinely thank everyone for sharing their personal life details.
I have never left a comment on any video before, and I don’t know if I ever will again. But with my one comment I just want to give a shoutout to all the people listening to this song who AREN’T commenting themselves. I know what it’s like to scroll and scroll and cry and cry. And I know that even though there are so many amazing people sharing their stories, there are 10 times as many more not sharing. I’ve been there. So for all the wallflowers out there, know that you’re not alone. Even if you’re not talking, as long as you’re here, you will have a community that truly understands.
Hope everyone’s having a good day, and good luck.

TRUE!
omg u are bakk
Alfons 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Alfons for a snakk😉
he never left
Never gone i guess
❤️🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
It seems like ILLENIUM made this song for me😅
Crazy thing about Illenium is his music has been the type of music all us sadboi's have been yearning for. Stories/situations of heartache/rebirth/and unreciprocated love.
All his musical pieces stem from special places in people's hearts. Thanks for gracing us with your music, Nick.
Facts.
you nailed it. this is perfect explanation!
Nick understands every fiber of emotion in the human anatomy at an unsurpassed angle/range.
He understands the rage, the lies, the emptiness, the loneliness, the loud banging in your head, the screams, the moments with your loved ones, the moments without your loved ones, the hollow insides of people, the feeling of being abandoned, the list can go on, lol.
Not only is he a beautiful/rare entity seen once in lifetimes, he has the genius to fuse/incorporate/compose these emotions into mindblowing lyrics, verses, choruses, drops, instrumentals. Proof of this is in the genius of Fractures, Lost, Gold, Beautiful Creatures, Reverie, Sound of Walking Away, Where'd U Go etc.
Sure, his songs may sound simple but every measure and every single second in ALL his songs are well-thought through.
Illenium is life.
J V this was very beautiful man!
Al fin! 😍😍😍
francisco razo 🔥🇪🇨💚
Look at all these comments, I mean, we are few but we are the STRONGEST, no hate comments. Nick, you deserve an Oscar. You made one of the best communities among all the artists.
I really hope you succeed in a close future and all your problems from the past disappear.
Love you ❤️
“But it’s in my hand and I’m doing it to me”... fk, anyone else feel that was too deep 😢
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I didn't mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
No, I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me
[Chorus 1]
When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
[Pre-Drop 1]
Yeah I'm loving my out
And you're loving my out
Take you down
Take you down with me
(Down with me, down)
(Down with me, down)
(Take you) down with me
[Drop 1]
Down, you're down with me
Down, you're down with me
(Yeah I'm loving my out)
(And you're loving my out)
(Take you down)
[Verse 2]
This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand
And I'm doing it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
And there's no way that now you could rescue me
[Chorus 2]
When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me
[Bridge]
You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
But you need to let go of these hands
'Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me
[Drop 2]
And I don't wanna take you down with me
Take you down, down with me
The souls that are lost, are never lost alone. Even though it feels that way, music unites us.
I am sorry that you have felt pain, but I rejoice in the fact that that you have chosen to fight. May you never give up. We will all fight with you, for you - for us.
I need this song!!!
💖
I really do appreciate you sharing your story with us about your addiction. I can't ever imagine what that was like for you leaping over that giant wall towards recovery. What I can say; for all of us as fans and maybe even friends; is that we will support and always appreciate you as not only an artist, but as a person. Illenium, thank you for being a part of not only my life, but for all of our lives as fans. We will always be Illenium strong.
Absolutely!!! Beautifully said.
it's toothless yeahh Indeed ❤️
If a friend or loved one sends you this song ,please go check on them ,it may be a cry for help 😢
I spent $74 on an illenium sweater.
Totally worth it tho. Not being sarcastic
I spent $90 on one at Ezoo this last weekend just to wear for his show and after seeing him I'm speechless..
Thats still pretty reasonable for a good quality hoodie
this song makes me cry im so alone i want to die no one understands me no cares about me no one talks to me im left in the dark. im empty inside. my heart aches thank you for the amazing song
I care about you
Just hang in there and be good . Everthing will be fine .
Did anybody else wanted to cry hearing this song?
KevinRayT we all did
Check de description
KevinRayT I cried and got back to my love that suddenly died and now I want to be with him😭😞
You people are so pathetic and weak. The Fourth Reich is going to crush you faster than the third crushed the French.
Kind of impossible holding tears while listening to Illenium
This song seriously never fails in making me cry. So therapeutic.
I can listen to this for a ❤*MILLENNIUM*❤
Still listening to this song. My favorite of Illenium so far🖤
This is not music it is a sign of perfection which need to be famous soon and it is our work to do it..😍😘😊
Most people on this sad rock don't understand what truly is music. Hate to say it but illenium will never become worldly famous, that's just how to universe works. The best is the unknown, illenium if you somehow read this, I just wanna tell you you are and always be the best in this world.
He is
Illenium. Ever since I heard your music few years ago I fell in love.
I had no idea you struggled with opiate addiction. I'm currently struggling with it too. Been struggling for 3 years now.
I'm 72 hrs sober from my latest relapse. It feels like I go in cycles and just keep fucking up, right after things were going so well and life seemed to be going OK while sober. Doesn't take long until I fuck up again.
Sometimes it feels as if there is no way out, but to shut off the lights.
Your music is so beautiful. So so beautiful. Honestly, I'd be glad if I could touch someones life the way you've touched so many with your beautiful melodies. I think that would give me some purpose you know.
Anyways I'm just rambling, thank you for everything you do man.
you're gonna get there, don't give up. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.
Bordax you will succeed. I promise. I’m struggling too.
You are not rambling. You are empowering yourself. Work hard and keep moving forward!
How are you now?
M8 u good now?
It's impossible for Illenium to make a bad track
I love your music ... Brother, you deserve the best of this life ... in my life, your music is the best thing I have in this life ... continue like this♥️
LYRICS:
I didn’t mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
It’s just an empty lie screaming out for help
No, I didn’t mean to scare you
But I couldn’t see that when I went to hell
I was taking you with me
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I’m climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don’t wanna take you down with me
[?]
Take you down, take you down with me
[?]
(Take you down, take you down, take you down)
Down with me
[Verse 2]
This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand
And I'm doing it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way that now
You could rescue me
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I’m fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don’t wanna take you down with me
[Bridge]
You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
You need to let go of these hands
Cause I'm going now
And I don't wanna take you down with me
[Outro]
And I don't wanna take you down with me
Take you down, down with me
COPIED FROM GENIUS.COM
Thank you, I struggle with alchohol, depression, emotional abuse and suicidal ideation pretty much daily..... just writing that on an anon account was terrifying. This song is beauty itself.
Illenium songs is soooo emotional. that's why i like Illenium, keep up the good work man.
This song makes me think about my depression
Callie Plays you re not alone, never forget that!
❤
If you ever need help, please talk to someone. I hope you get better.
Joshua Richter thx
Same...
This song really hit home.
I've been struggling with social anxiety, bad self-esteem and depression for quite a while. Maybe 7 to 8 years now.
And it is the worst combination...the worst.
Sometimes I'm fine. Sometimes the darkness overtakes my life and I can't seem to find an exit until I self harm.
The day I realized I needed professional help was when I realized that I don't know what happiness truly is. I'm not sure I've ever experienced it.
And just last year in September my doctor told me I had diabetes. Which did not help with my self-esteem...I started eating less...I probably lost 40 pounds within a short amount of time...and ever since....I've had a bad relationship with food. I don't love me.....If it weren't for my boyfriend, I think I would have developed an eating disorder. Yes, I'm still battling my relationship with food. Yes, I still throw up my food (not as often as before) and yes I'm still scared to eat....but I've gotten better.
I'm not sure where I was going with this....but I just want you guys to know that you aren't alone if you guys are going through something.
I know it can be hard (trust me, I know) but keep fighting. I still am.
Take care.
Hope the best for you all.
ExtremeJoci you’re a very strong person and I really wish you all the best for your way. Hope you will get better soon ❤️❤️
Stay strong
He definitely deserves it. His way of sound just brings tingles down my spine
Same thing happening to me and i feel lost i don't know who i'm anymore , i hate myself so much
@@christinawalker9915 u fight till the end cuz u don't have any other choice except giving up but I think you won't give in after this u can do three things:
Give up
Give in
Give it your all
It's not your choice whether you wanna live or not...........when you realise that only then you will give your life all you got and that's the purpose of life........stay strong
This is the most underrated music ever, the world doesn't know music anymore😫😤
Ever since "Awake" has come out, I thought the meaning of the songs are kind of abstract yet I still love it, but now after reading your letter I just found out that the album itself is telling a story, a story of your life and most importantly your struggle to fight addiction I guess. This does make me listening to the "Awake" to another level of meaning. Crawl Outta Love, Fractures, Leaving, Lost and Sound of Walking Away are pretty obvious examples of telling the emotional phases you have gone through I think at least, and also the album name itself "Awake" is kind of self explanatory right? Well...my point here is I just love how Illenium is an amazing artist putting a lot of efforts and emotion into his works and YES we get it Nick, what you wanted to say and what you wanted us to hear. :) From Myanmar with Loves
i agree to 100% bro
Bro his music since Awake.. I don't even know how to express my feelings
Love from the netherlands🇳🇱
@@pixelatedshotgun yall live in cool places im jealous
Bruhhh...i never knew there are Illenials here
These past few days, I’ve been feeling so depressed. It’s not surprising either, for I have been through this phase plenty of times. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past that I truly regret. I still make mistakes to this day, and these mistakes are what fuel my depression. However, I know for a fact that giving up is NOT an option! I’ve never been one to give up, even though my dark side of me has told me to just give up. I know I’m not perfect, and I never will be, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t strive to be the best person that I can be. There are a lot of things that I can do better in life, and if I just keep following the light that’s at the end of this dark tunnel that I’m in, then eventually, I will become a better person and achieve a lot of great things that life has to offer. If there’s anything that I want to say to those who also feel depression, just love who you are, and live life to the fullest. Stay positive, and reach out to someone if you need help. You are loved. ❤️
Much strong man, i know what is that feeling.. I just passed a difficult phase, but now im here, healthy and good!! I learned with myself and i can tell you, DONT GIVE UP!!! Stay Strong!!!
thank you, I really needed to hear this. I am on the verge of giving up for good
You just gave me hope! Thanks a lot!
Read the description
You got this, don't give up

Electronic music is more accurate.

Never enough 😉
Bradley Sherlock Sorry about your loss...I too found many great artist from sheepy's channel and I've been listening to it from more than 3 years!
But he deserves more than enough.....
This song made me realise that ...no matter what; people will never understand you 100%...
I was filled with suicidal thoughts ...I was feeling almost nothing I started posting suicidal posts on my socials but people said am js looking for attention...this made me more hurt 😔...I died inside .Its a miracle that I'm here listening to this piece of music that changed my life and I'm still breathing because of this song ...IN THIS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH IS UNDERRATED.
Yeah man

Stay strong bro
