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! 🎂
"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! :)
Oh my god.. didn't know this story.. I am glad you made it out to Illenium! Love you more from this moment onwards, I wish I could be as big as you someday! Lots of love from India!

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*
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!
Everyone understood this song and felt it that's y it has no views and no one understood a single word from despacito that's y it has over a billion views
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 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
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 💗
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😭😭😭💗
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 ♥
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.
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.
*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* . IDK why Illenium did it. 😅😅😅
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.
That is precious. Thank you for that, for all of us. You’re a sweetheart for it. I know how most people who don’t comment just don’t know what to say or just don’t feel like it but knowing that there’s someone who wrote a comment specifically for them all is absolutely beautiful ❤
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.
-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.
Thank you to have shared your stories with us Illenium. Hope all that people which are following you (as me) bring you enough love and support. Love you forever man 🖤
The support from us is still all in his head. This all is for him to take on within himself. Only he can do anything about it and dig the dirt he needs to dig.
Sometimes I feel so desperate sometimes I feel so alone sometimes I feel sad sometimes I feel I'm gonna fall apart sometimes depression taking over all my body there are a lot of things happening in my life, are beating me to fall down, I fall down every time sometimes I wish if I fell down I don't wanna get up. but one thing for sure I don't know why this pure music giving me so much inspiration. not all heroes wear capes.
I love you lol make how to sound like said the sky lmao use every single synth you have even on ur abelton ur fl..everything aaaaaannnnddd. Mess with this knob and this do hickey
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!!!
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
The song made me cry but when I saw the description My heart just stop beating its like im on a dark and lonely room It made me realize that "Nothing is impossible if you just Try it" Nice job illenium
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.
Tbh my past self would've cried listening to this song but now whenever i listen to this song all i can think is how far i have come surpassing my dark days and feeling alive again and rn im on my way to acheive my goals. So people whoever reading this please dont give up ik it feels like hell but PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP. you might think that you are not moving forward you are stuck in the same place, but NO you are not stuck in the same place, the progress may be slow but every single day you're GROWING STRONGER and one day you'll feel ALIVE AGAIN. So please DONT GIVE UP FIGHTING YOUR DARK DAYS. YOU GOT THIS MY FRIEND, YOU CAN DO THIS. IM ROOTING FOR YOU, DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF THE DARK DAYS.
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.
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.
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. ❤️
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....
[Verse 1] 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
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 ❤️
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.
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 Spread the love ❤️
I am glad that you existed in this production industry. You have been motivational to me in various ways and I am sure that you will keep on succeeding in your deed to "help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment".
It’s been 40 days since my heroin overdose, I’ve been sober since. Illenium conveys all the emotions that I struggle with so amazingly I can’t even describe how much it means to me. I’m a huge fan and your music is one of my reasons to live, thank you.
IF ANYONE FEELS WORTHLESS OR SAD... YOU ARE PERFECT. YOU ARE WORTH YOUR OWN TIME, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, YOU ARE AMAZING. You WILL GET THROUGH THIS. You WILL BECOME STRONGER PLEASE DONT GIVE UP, you are so so LOVED. YOU ARE NEEDED. You have the power to CHANGE THE WORLD OR SOMEONES LIFE Shoot me a message my beautiful friends🌹
I feel worthless cause I'm in the mainstream. MAINSTREAM = BRAINWASHED IDIOTS. THERE ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE US. SAD THING IS WE ARE APART. THX SOCIAL MEDIA FOR MAKING ME UNIQUE. SUB TO PEWDIEPIE.
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!
We need people like illenium who makes music for people and gives them support they need. In today's time where noone is with u, music helps you cheer up.
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, Nick..... Your music is incredible, and I can truly hear the emotion in every sound you use. I simply cannot express my love for your music and gratitude for your place on earth, inspiring and saving millions from themselves. Thank you so much brother.
I lost one of my best friends to an overdose two years ago. It still hurts and sometimes I still think "I should've noticed something or maybe I could've prevented it". Listening to your music reminds me of all the great memories we shared. To anyone else struggling with addiction, you have nothing to be ashamed about and please reach out to supports.
I never read the description all these years, wow...song got so much deeper. Glad you're still here with us man. Thanks for bringing joy to our own journey's out here.
I haven't even finish reading the description yet and I already cried.. Here I am trying to save my wrecked college life.. ..for Mom 'cause she never gives up on me..
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.
Dj? Lol! He is great electronic artist duh, not some silly dj. He does djing just to promote his work. He is well know for his music, not for his djing skills.
I had to end one of my closest friendships recently and to be honest it hurts like hell, but I know that my future is secure and that God has a plan for me and that I’ll climb out somehow. Thank you ILLENIUM for the amazing music you deserve more recognition.
I have a form of high functioning autism. I have a hard time understanding jokes, I get mad and depressed really easily, and from the age of 5-9, I have been kicked out of over 10 different schools because they "can't handle my attitude". In very rare cases you can grow out of the disability with age, but for the majority of people who have it, it is lifelong. I am almost drivin to insanity knowing that it won't go away, but music has always helped me in some way. but it's our differences that make us stand out. There is no such thing as normal. The more we understand these differences, the more exceptional we will be.
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.
@@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
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!!!
I read the description and I am in tears, you're a beautiful person and have such a great strength as an Empath and Advocate of Love and being loved for who you truly are as a person. I have listened to your art/music/life on a daily and at 50 I don't really hear the audio anymore, just the lyrics. They get me through the hard and ugly times to see the joy in life I deserve and they remind me nothing is so heavy that it should cause me to stop loving myself. I don't say Dark anymore in referencing times of my life because I love the night, the moody and yes sometime's even the sad. The lesson's of my life have given me a comforting wisdom that allows me a peace few will probably undertand ir know. Doubt is responsible for 90%+ of everything bad or negative we find in life, it creates fear, hate, bitterness,, etc. and people hand it out like it is a gift. We were meant to love each other as a part if removing the doubt and to be a part of the affirmations that keeps it out. I love you all, love is our magic. Never Forget Love Will Show You The Way When There's Nothing Else.
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
This song means so much to me.... I first heard this song the same day that I found out that my best friend had lost his battle to opiod addiction. And whenever he would pop in my head this song would come on a moment later as though your lyrics were a message from Heaven from him. Its been a year now and two Christmas's. Your music is so moving and has become my connection to the amazing person that I lost. Thank you for sharing about your struggles and your amazing gift.
Thanks so much for watching! Be sure to check out my new single "Nightlight" at th-cam.com/video/klp-RReW0jY/w-d-xo.html 🙂

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.
i wish i could be that great so We can collab together in a Project ! You're out of this world dude ! Such an Inspiration for Me

I wish your wish will come true one day brother! Don't give up!!!we will see this one day ABC song illenium ft albert vishi :D

"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! :)

Sad Vibes gay
Elliot Bell no just human
Xeox pathetic human
Sad Vibes yes sad history for an epic music some respect for Illenium 🌟
Elliot Bell Stop being an annoying ass. Thank you.
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
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
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!
We can't lose you like we've lost the others...
Thank you, Illenium, for all you've done for us.
Oooooo💅ooooooh
Nice song
*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* .
IDK why Illenium did it. 😅😅😅
What the.. I thought it was Female voice.
@@17zan nah. It's not. 😅😂
@@17zan me too Bro
@@thesxndey1066 😅😅😅
Am I the only one who can clearly hear male vocals?
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.

That is precious. Thank you for that, for all of us. You’re a sweetheart for it. I know how most people who don’t comment just don’t know what to say or just don’t feel like it but knowing that there’s someone who wrote a comment specifically for them all is absolutely beautiful ❤
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.
Thank you to have shared your stories with us Illenium. Hope all that people which are following you (as me) bring you enough love and support.
Love you forever man 🖤
The support from us is still all in his head. This all is for him to take on within himself. Only he can do anything about it and dig the dirt he needs to dig.
"This life is like a razor
When it cuts, I bleed
But its in my hand and I'm doing it to me."

sometimes depression taking over all my body
there are a lot of things happening in my life, are beating me to fall down, I fall down every time
sometimes I wish if I fell down I don't wanna get up.
but one thing for sure I don't know why this pure music giving me so much inspiration.
not all heroes wear capes.

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!!!
Equinox stay strong bro!!
This song seriously never fails in making me cry. So therapeutic.
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
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 love it! Has such an emotional story behind the song, which makes me appreciate this even more! 😍

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 ^^
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.
The song made me cry but when I saw the description
My heart just stop beating its like im on a dark and lonely room
It made me realize that
"Nothing is impossible if you just Try it"
Nice job illenium

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.

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.

I’m sure you did everything you could to help her and now she is probably in a better place

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]

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

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

Underrated comment
The last airbender
This is gorgeous man, glad such a beautiful product came from such a difficult time.
Seven lions and illenium are both so underrated and probably the most talented. Bring more collabs
thats so true
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 ❤️
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?
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
Spread the love ❤️

My hero illenium
It’s been 40 days since my heroin overdose, I’ve been sober since. Illenium conveys all the emotions that I struggle with so amazingly I can’t even describe how much it means to me. I’m a huge fan and your music is one of my reasons to live, thank you.
This guy should be in the top of the charts!
illenium's music is to pure to be recognized by those lowly people who love mumble rap and the retarded lil trend

IF ANYONE FEELS WORTHLESS OR SAD... YOU ARE PERFECT. YOU ARE WORTH YOUR OWN TIME, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, YOU ARE AMAZING.
You WILL GET THROUGH THIS.

We need people like illenium who makes music for people and gives them support they need. In today's time where noone is with u, music helps you cheer up.
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, Nick..... Your music is incredible, and I can truly hear the emotion in every sound you use. I simply cannot express my love for your music and gratitude for your place on earth, inspiring and saving millions from themselves. Thank you so much brother.
I lost one of my best friends to an overdose two years ago. It still hurts and sometimes I still think "I should've noticed something or maybe I could've prevented it". Listening to your music reminds me of all the great memories we shared.
To anyone else struggling with addiction, you have nothing to be ashamed about and please reach out to supports.
I never read the description all these years, wow...song got so much deeper. Glad you're still here with us man. Thanks for bringing joy to our own journey's out here.
this is a gift for depressed souls.
Bro...I just read your story in the description, YOU ARE AMAZING DUDE!!!
I am so happy for you!
This is the most underrated music ever, the world doesn't know music anymore😫😤
fam, that just gave me goosebumps.
Illenium songs is soooo emotional. that's why i like Illenium, keep up the good work man.
Listening to the song while reading the description of this made me cry the first time...
and it does, still.

I haven't even finish reading the description yet and I already cried..
Here I am trying to save my wrecked college life..
..for Mom 'cause she never gives up on me..
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
Illennium is the most underated DJ of the world!
Dj? Lol! He is great electronic artist duh, not some silly dj. He does djing just to promote his work. He is well know for his music, not for his djing skills.
Also known as 'producer' :D he was a musician before being Illenium tho. That's why I love him.
not DJ but Producer
I had to end one of my closest friendships recently and to be honest it hurts like hell, but I know that my future is secure and that God has a plan for me and that I’ll climb out somehow. Thank you ILLENIUM for the amazing music you deserve more recognition.
Definitely Illenium is already a legend in EDM
Electronic music is more accurate.
_ LUNI _ *future bass *more accurate
it's the same, and yes it's future bass
I'm incredibly proud of how far Nick has come. This song reaches so many people on so many levels. I just want you all to know, it's okay to cry. ❤
3 years later and I still agree with this message. ❤️
My mom told me this song was boring, then i read the description for her
We both cried

@BiFrozT when you dont have a heart
Sorry to say, your mom does not have a good taste in music.
@@bshivam2001 ye, i'm aware of it
This song....is something special shared by the angels out of this world.
It's impossible for Illenium to make a bad track
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...
I ain't never getting bored of this masterpiece
I have a form of high functioning autism. I have a hard time understanding jokes, I get mad and depressed really easily, and from the age of 5-9, I have been kicked out of over 10 different schools because they "can't handle my attitude". In very rare cases you can grow out of the disability with age, but for the majority of people who have it, it is lifelong. I am almost drivin to insanity knowing that it won't go away, but music has always helped me in some way. but it's our differences that make us stand out. There is no such thing as normal. The more we understand these differences, the more exceptional we will be.
This takes my breath away I can’t breathe 🙏😭
Jeewon Han then get to a hospital
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
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
These are the words every addict has in their mind, this gives me shivers. Thank you, Nick. This is beautiful.
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
*THIS SONG HAS SOUL IN IT
That description gonna change my life 💚💚
ILLENIUM thank u for all this 💚💚
Ayush I wish you a better life ahead
THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY HIS LIFE...I READ THE DESCRIPTION AND THE SONG GOT OVER🥺❤️..LOVE YOU ILLENIUM
Absolute CHILLS
1:20 is unbelievable 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥great , you made it by your heart💜❤
The letter gave more depth to the song!!
Fellow #Illenials form India, show some love!!
I read the description and I am in tears, you're a beautiful person and have such a great strength as an Empath and Advocate of Love and being loved for who you truly are as a person.
I have listened to your art/music/life on a daily and at 50 I don't really hear the audio anymore, just the lyrics. They get me through the hard and ugly times to see the joy in life I deserve and they remind me nothing is so heavy that it should cause me to stop loving myself. I don't say Dark anymore in referencing times of my life because I love the night, the moody and yes sometime's even the sad.
The lesson's of my life have given me a comforting wisdom that allows me a peace few will probably undertand ir know. Doubt is responsible for 90%+ of everything bad or negative we find in life, it creates fear, hate, bitterness,, etc. and people hand it out like it is a gift. We were meant to love each other as a part if removing the doubt and to be a part of the affirmations that keeps it out.
I love you all, love is our magic. Never Forget Love Will Show You The Way When There's Nothing Else.
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
This song means so much to me.... I first heard this song the same day that I found out that my best friend had lost his battle to opiod addiction. And whenever he would pop in my head this song would come on a moment later as though your lyrics were a message from Heaven from him. Its been a year now and two Christmas's. Your music is so moving and has become my connection to the amazing person that I lost. Thank you for sharing about your struggles and your amazing gift.
