It has to be extremely emotionally taxing on the singer to put himself back in that mental state in order to get the emotion in the song right every time. I can't imagine doing that, I do everything I can to avoid putting myself back in that state. Props to him and the band for doing what they do for us.
If I could hug my daughters depression away. That hug would never stop. She knows I'm here for her. I do hug her but the battle is in her. She tells me she loves me and I tell her I love her and I support her. Depression is very personal. All you reading this. Hang in there. Battle for yourself. Your worth it and this Dad values you. I feel you. Hugs
Have you tried getting her to see a therapist where she may be able to confide in? Sometimes loving your child just isn't enough. I loved my son dearly and he still didn't confide in me about his suicidal thoughts. I lost him March 2018 when he decided to take his own life, Elijah was only 23 years old.
@@viktorias6905 I'm so sorry for your loss. I suffer from depression too i met a friend through this song and thankfully I stopped him from committing suicide, in October of 2019 I almost attempted to overdose but something hit me and stopped me. I know exactly how that feels like. I know what I will tell you won't bring him back but he loved you, he knew you did and that love you had for him and the love he had for you is what helped him keep pushing. He was too strong for so long but the pain was too much for him. I know you did everything you could and always hang on to those precious memories you have of him. I'm sorry for your loss. Its the same reason why I'm still here for my mom and my little siblings i know that if i were gone it would be too much for them and my little siblings would be confused and hurt. God bless you and your family, God took in your son and he's in a better place free of pain.
You know the song is good when you can't decide if you like the live version, acoustic version or the studio version better there all bloody brilliant. This song hits home in so many ways it helps to know that someone gets it and that when you look through the comments there are people there that understand too.
Dude (or Dudette) I am with you. All versions are powerful in their own way. One of the most emotional and thought evoking songs I have heard in years.
I wouldn't think hearing this song over and over while being depressed would help and may put the wrong idea in your head. Its a great song but ....maybe find a happier song to cheer you up
No it will help -- it's a reminder that suicide won't take away the pain. Trust me when you battle suicidal thoughts on the daily it's helpful to have a song like this to battle them with.
This is one of my go to songs when I get in a bad stretch of suicidal ideations. It's almost like group therapy. Knowing that other people suffer similarly and come out from the darkness.
i can’t get enough of this song & all of the versions. as someone who suffers from anxiety/depression i can really relate to it. some days are easier than others. i give josh so much credit for this song & expressing his emotions on such a deep level.
My absolute favorite part is the riff where gets to show his PASSION. I’ve never seen an artist put so much into one song. Watching him feel it, makes me feel it
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one. Josh is very articulate in expressing those thoughts and feelings. Absolute genius. I love these guys. 🤟
I love this song and i love how it helps me pull through the hard times. It reminds me to keep pushing forward because the bad thoughts aren't worth it.
As someone who has sliced his arm open and was saved from the final heartbeat by loved ones, this song speaks to me deeply. The thoughts of friends you failed, of not telling your mother 'I love you' that last time, of not leaving a letter beside you, and of the worry that the end of your life might not take the pain away, but leave pain for everyone that cared for you... All of that goes through your mind as you lay bleeding. It's like slowly descending into a nightmare of your regrets and self hate as you get woozy. It's been around 19 years since that day. I'm glad I'm still here to experience things and have a wife that loves me so much
Lyrics I tried it once before but I didn't get too far I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up I tried it once before and I think I might have messed up I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die But nothing very special ever happens in my life Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough And I should have told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah I tried it once again and I think I might black out I should have left a letter but I had nothing to write about My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah I tried it once again and I think I went too far I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart I couldn't tell my mother 'mom, I love you', I'm a bad son This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
If theirs any person I’ve never met but give respect to is josh because of the mental state he was in and goes into be so deep with his music and really touch u with how powerful the lyrics are a man can only go through so much.
I could not tell you which version of this song is better, the original, acoustic, or live, because they all have such amazing emotions being displayed. Thanks to all who help spread the message that suicide is real and heartbreaking, and for continuing to spread the love.
I think the mental health awareness needs to use this song as a tool for helping such destruction. I absolutely love the message for the new generation.
I agree because if you know that lyrically he killed himself then you should also know that as he was dying he regretted it but couldn't stop it this time.
so incredible, the music, the harmonies and his vocals are beautiful but the lyrics are so full of pain and honesty, I feel sick but I can't stop listening
This song came on as I was having some wine and writing poetry after a really bad day. It gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. I suffer from suicidal ideations regularly, and they have been very bad this year, even though I just got married 6 months this ago. My job has been stressful due to hostility in the workplace. Sometimes on the worst days, I just think of ending it in the worst way; kind of like in this video. I cry so much, and I even tried to get a tattoo of a phoenix for strength (helped a little). This video just reminded me that I am strong and I have been on a long journey; that I want to fight this and get better. It's amazing how music strikes a chord and makes us want to get back up. Thank you Badflower; you do beautiful work.
It's not sad. Underrated bands are the ones putting out real music. Let the mindless masses have their mindless poop/pop bullshit. All the best bands are underrated
Bad flower I've been listening to you guys since you started, and I just want to say that your doing a HELL of a job!!! Really influential music, and you can tell it came from somewhere deep down. 🤘😎🤘
I love them so much the way he feels his music is beautiful they deserve to be huge they have so much raw and pure talent you don't see it now days ever and the lead is so cute nothing sexier than a man who plays guitar and sings
The power and emotion he sings with just amazing. You can feel every word he sings. Sharing your own experiences might help so many people who struggle. Hats off to you badflower
Ben Bagley too much for my heart... I don't know how anyone could listen to this without crying! Literally, this song is well written lyrically and music wise.
I love this song and i love how it helps me pull through the hard times. It reminds me to keep pushing forward because the bad thoughts aren't worth it.
It’s probably going to be a 1 hit wonder, but not much different than 21 Pilots. Listen to Atmosphere or Dynospectrum. They will either lift your spirits or break them down. Love Life! No matter what.
I get chills listening to this song because I understand the feelings he's talking about. Although I've never personally self-harmed nor attempted suicide, I've known many people who have. My hearts are forever with those who have lost someone to suicide. May you be given the strength you need to carry on. 💔❤
If you loved me. And this some have me so in love with the words is as if they knew my heart and soul ❤️ I feel so comfortable in my own skin with your music 🎶.
As a musician this is one of the best songs I've heard. Everything put together neatly but differently and the feel and the sound are amazing. Love it!
They just played at Masonic Temple in Detroit nov 9th. I wish i would've gone but i sadly just heard this song on the radio. Love them now. Hope they come back.
Id love to see Badflower and Highly Suspect together at the machineshop in flint! I've seen things of shows there even though I live back in norwalk ohio now.
I pray for all the ones that face depression everyday. I was depressed and a drug addict for 13 years. Lost everything except my family and real friends. Message to the ones struggling...you can do it!!! Live a positive life and be around positive people. Keep your heads up ❤❤❤❤
The first time I heard this song, I thought the chorus was "Take the Pain away from me." which really brought out some of my own unhealthy depressive thoughts, then later I heard it as "Take the Blame away from me." which reflected my own intense guilt, constantly feeling like I'm a parasite on my family and friends, not doing enough for them. Just now, I finally heard the actual lyric, "Take the Blade away from me," as I was about to hurt myself, and like, holy shit. The edgy teen inside my 21 year old soul was like, "fuck, they know, how does the song know!" Not realizing that was the actual lyric all along and I had been hearing what my own depressed mind wanted to hear.
Holy shit I heard the Pain at first as well too but since I am a vivid karaoke singer was looking into ways to turn this into a karaoke I looked at the lyrics and found out it was blade all along
It's crazy to read this because the entire song (first time hearing it) All I could hear was "take the pain away from me" and this comment made me second guess my own goddamn mind. God depression is stupid Jesus go the fuck away, depression and take ur sibling, Anxiety, with you.
First time after a long time that I cry and get goosebumps after hearing a song for the first time. I usually never comment anything on youtube, but this time I couldn't help it. I'm breathless. I absolutely freakin love it.
Dear Badflower,we do give a “F” about your priceless work after all this time…. I’m still listening this after years ,like it’s being for the first time 💕
You are as unique as a snowflake and you can never be replaced. Please find someone who understands what you are going through and will listen to you. NEVER give up and never stop fighting! I care ..... Elijah's mom, forever 23.
I love this song way too much But i can't help but think about how it must be for josh to sing it with the right emotions EVERY SINGLE TIME . I'm so sad about that
This is the first time a music video has moved me so much emotionally. Connect to it on a deep level and I just have no words for the emotions I'm feeling now but it is powerful. Thank you badflower.
I watch this video nearly every night and I've always felt the need to comment on this thread but everything I've ever typed never seemed to come out right until now. Thanking someone never felt so right, so Thank You for allowing me that privilege. I've never resonated with lyrics deeper than these, and for that I am thankful.❤
Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be THAT. Is one fucking amazing lyric.
OMG!!! I love this song!!! I heard you on Octane on XM radio and I suffer from depression and anxiety I was gonna travel to Kentucky to see you at louder then life but it was cancelled and I see your coming to Pittsburgh pa that's only a hour from me 😊 so happy to see you then ❤
Hillary Rockwell I was bummed about LTL too! I live in Kentucky and it’s the only good festival around here. Going to Nashville to see them in December 😊
I wonder how much pain this brings any time he sings it?! Or if it is actually healing to him because he has overcome or has managed his depression. I absolutely LOVE this song, I relate so much.
Crystal Smith I believe the word you’re looking for is cathartic: the purging of the emotions or relieving of emotional tensions, especially through certain kinds of art, as tragedy or music.
I really love this song. So emotional and raw. Gives me goosebumps! If you have ever been in that state of mind, this song puts you back in that dark place... 🖤

The lead singer pours his heart and soul into his performance....you can't look away from him during the show.
It has to be extremely emotionally taxing on the singer to put himself back in that mental state in order to get the emotion in the song right every time. I can't imagine doing that, I do everything I can to avoid putting myself back in that state. Props to him and the band for doing what they do for us.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure the paycheck helps soften the blow, though.
@@dootdoot94xo44 well the song is about suicidal thoughts/suicide attempts and he wrote it when he struggled a lot with his panic disorder
Logan Braun
That’s what an artist does.
Logan Braun it's probably not very hard because he lives there in that zone 24/7.
Logan Braun I agree completely.
If I could hug my daughters depression away. That hug would never stop. She knows I'm here for her. I do hug her but the battle is in her.

I feel like the live version is better and much more powerful than the original and that’s saying a lot.
Dude (or Dudette) I am with you. All versions are powerful in their own way. One of the most emotional and thought evoking songs I have heard in years.
That's what I'm trying to decide now
@@raym598 well ?
Either or is good
I love this song so much when I get depressed I play this song over and over and over again
I wouldn't think hearing this song over and over while being depressed would help and may put the wrong idea in your head. Its a great song but ....maybe find a happier song to cheer you up
Me too it gets collated a lot lol
No it will help -- it's a reminder that suicide won't take away the pain. Trust me when you battle suicidal thoughts on the daily it's helpful to have a song like this to battle them with.
Same
This is one of my go to songs when I get in a bad stretch of suicidal ideations. It's almost like group therapy. Knowing that other people suffer similarly and come out from the darkness.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Seeing them preform it live made me weep openly. It's such a powerful song.
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🔥
Haven’t been this excited about a band in a long time.
44 year old child of grunge, I haven’t been this amped since Tool’s last album...........
Scuba Steve they opened at Kroq last month and they were so good man. Them and Greta Van Fleet stoke the show
Me too. I recently discovered them. Beautiful band.
Anybody that says music is dead never followed youtube suggestions to artists that mop the floor with that theory.
Depression is hell
You still here bro? You good?
Yeah it is. I wish there was a pill which just cures it
@@maria-melek There is but it is also hell :(
@@SnakeHuntersTV :(
Nothing could be as bad as this nothing
i can’t get enough of this song & all of the versions. as someone who suffers from anxiety/depression i can really relate to it. some days are easier than others. i give josh so much credit for this song & expressing his emotions on such a deep level.
. I struggle every day.
I totally know the feeling
My absolute favorite part is the riff where gets to show his PASSION. I’ve never seen an artist put so much into one song. Watching him feel it, makes me feel it
You know it's a hit when band posts 3 versions of the same song on TH-cam. ❤ every one of them
Experience with all of this. You can feel the lyrics and emotions.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🐺🔥🤘
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one.
Josh is very articulate in expressing those thoughts and feelings. Absolute genius.
I love these guys. 🤟
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🐺🔥🤘
Fuckin incredible, these guys make me cry like a baby and I’m a 34 year old man. Love this band and everything about them right now
I'm supposed to be sleeping but this is way more important!!! I love you guys!! Can't wait for the new album 🖤🖤🖤🤘🤘🤘
Jess it is just so sad 😭 I felt like this
I love this song and i love how it helps me pull through the hard times. It reminds me to keep pushing forward because the bad thoughts aren't worth it.
A year later but same!😣😍
How do u feel thus far this mor ning? Hugs 😌🤔🙃 even extra hugs

Lyrics
I tried it once before but I didn't get too far
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up
I tried it once before and I think I might have messed up
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough
But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die
But nothing very special ever happens in my life
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be
I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough
And I should have told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son
But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
I tried it once again and I think I might black out
I should have left a letter but I had nothing to write about
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up
The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
I tried it once again and I think I went too far
I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart
I couldn't tell my mother 'mom, I love you', I'm a bad son
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
U copy and pasted this
Saw them in Destin! What a show!! Talented beyond belief and humble. They love their fans. I will see them again no doubt
This song cuts me to the core every time i hear it. 💔 But i still love it 💜
I feel this song on so many levels.... call me emo, call me a survivor, call me whatever you want, but call this band and this song amazing.....
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🔥

I can never decide which version of Ghost to listen to bc they are all THE BEST. I usually end up listening to all of them. 🖤
I could not tell you which version of this song is better, the original, acoustic, or live, because they all have such amazing emotions being displayed. Thanks to all who help spread the message that suicide is real and heartbreaking, and for continuing to spread the love.
This sounds almost exactly like the studio version! The only way you can really tell is that this sounds more raw. True talent.
I think the mental health awareness needs to use this song as a tool for helping such destruction. I absolutely love the message for the new generation.
I'm so with you on that this would be a great song for that.
It's a good song for sure but you do realize that, lyrically, he successfully kills himself... Right?
@@jackbuchanan6441 I didn't know that. I still think it has a good message of thought before act.
I agree because if you know that lyrically he killed himself then you should also know that as he was dying he regretted it but couldn't stop it this time.
Keven Pangus ^
Another absolutely beautiful version of a perfect song 💚
I've listened to this song probably 20 times in the past four hours. It's such a beautiful song and I love you guys so much!
Wow, they sound just as good live as they do recorded, not every singer or band should perform or sing live. They are effin amazing!!!
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🔥
still totally underrated!

“Music strikes a chord” AHHHHH I SEE WHAT YA DID THEREEEE 😂😂😂
Woke up to this song and couldn't be happier. This band is so underrated it's sad.
It's not sad. Underrated bands are the ones putting out real music. Let the mindless masses have their mindless poop/pop bullshit. All the best bands are underrated
Im selfish to think that i wish this band could stay underrated, but yeah i guess i am
Probably because they haven't even released their first album yet. They haven't been around for more than a minute

I can’t believe how good they are live wow! Real musicians, it’s so refreshing!
the most underrated band in rock unironically
The power and emotion he sings with just amazing. You can feel every word he sings. Sharing your own experiences might help so many people who struggle. Hats off to you badflower
Such an emotionally raw experience. The lyrics...it’s almost all too much. Well done, Badflower.
Ben Bagley too much for my heart... I don't know how anyone could listen to this without crying! Literally, this song is well written lyrically and music wise.

Badflower+A Perfect Circle= Perfection
I get chills listening to this song because I understand the feelings he's talking about. Although I've never personally self-harmed nor attempted suicide, I've known many people who have. My hearts are forever with those who have lost someone to suicide. May you be given the strength you need to carry on. 💔❤
One person makes a difference of life and death! ❤️
Your music is inspiring and raw and beautiful please give us more 💕
This song is so good it's absurd, I can't stop listening to it. It's obvious he really knows what he's talking about.
If you loved me. And this some have me so in love with the words is as if they knew my heart and soul ❤️ I feel so comfortable in my own skin with your music 🎶.

Great band...they opened at rock on the range and had never heard them before and they really stood out to me
What other band shows this much emotion in their music?! I feel it. Amazing.
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🔥
A lot of bands do
This song is overwhelming and Im ready for the next one ...
As a musician this is one of the best songs I've heard. Everything put together neatly but differently and the feel and the sound are amazing. Love it!
The more I hear these guys the more I lile them. My local station has finally started playing Ghost too. Can't wait to see you in Michigan sometime
They just played at Masonic Temple in Detroit nov 9th. I wish i would've gone but i sadly just heard this song on the radio. Love them now. Hope they come back.
They play it like every day in the part of Tennessee I live in
March 3rd in Grand Rapids
Death Blow that funny this band is from my home town and im about to move to michigan

I was cruising the radio fm dial one day and stumbled on a alt rock station n ATX n heard this song and wow it's really good.
live like this is great. can hear the song not all the cheering like a concert
This song is seriously the best, especially when I’m alone drinking myself numb
Yup

I thought it was “Blade”
It's crazy to read this because the entire song (first time hearing it) All I could hear was "take the pain away from me" and this comment made me second guess my own goddamn mind. God depression is stupid Jesus go the fuck away, depression and take ur sibling, Anxiety, with you.
im sure its take the blade away from me??
Fluffy SamuraiCrusader you are correct, Sir
First time after a long time that I cry and get goosebumps after hearing a song for the first time. I usually never comment anything on youtube, but this time I couldn't help it. I'm breathless. I absolutely freakin love it.
Some of us have been in this state, the song will bring a tear to your eye but damned if it doesn't make you want to defy the odds and keep fighting.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Dear Badflower,we do give a “F” about your priceless work after all this time….
I’m still listening this after years ,like it’s being for the first time 💕
This life is overwhelming and i'm ready for the next one
You are as unique as a snowflake and you can never be replaced. Please find someone who understands what you are going through and will listen to you. NEVER give up and never stop fighting! I care ..... Elijah's mom, forever 23.
Can’t wait until February 😍
Orion Cruz SAME
I'm too excited!
I discovered them from a Spotify list with their acoustic version. This song is tough and speaks a lot.
Pure goosebumps.
Great song. Everytime it comes on the radio I crank that volume up. Lol
I love this song way too much
But i can't help but think about how it must be for josh to sing it with the right emotions EVERY SINGLE TIME .
I'm so sad about that
God I would love to see them live.
This is the first time a music video has moved me so much emotionally. Connect to it on a deep level and I just have no words for the emotions I'm feeling now but it is powerful. Thank you badflower.
Finally real music 🤘🏻🎸
Your lyrics describes exactly how I feel. Thanks for that!
Amazing ❤️ I love this song. It means so much to me❤️❤️❤️❤️ Everytime life gets real rough I listen to this song❤️
I watch this video nearly every night and I've always felt the need to comment on this thread but everything I've ever typed never seemed to come out right until now. Thanking someone never felt so right, so Thank You for allowing me that privilege. I've never resonated with lyrics deeper than these, and for that I am thankful.❤
mad props to badflower to be able to come up with this stuff that is very real and a problem suicide, herion etc
I think I fell in love with that voice 😍
Enjoyed seeing you guys at Summerfest, hell of a show. Hope you guys come back!!
Wow, they're amazing live! Great job! Love you guys :)
Saw these guys at the Masquerade last week, outstanding live band.
Take the blade away from me
I am a freak, I am afraid that
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
I died to be the white ghost
Of the man that I was meant to be
THAT. Is one fucking amazing lyric.
OMG 🤘👽 What a beautiful song
OMG!!! I love this song!!! I heard you on Octane on XM radio and I suffer from depression and anxiety I was gonna travel to Kentucky to see you at louder then life but it was cancelled and I see your coming to Pittsburgh pa that's only a hour from me 😊 so happy to see you then ❤
Hillary Rockwell I was bummed about LTL too! I live in Kentucky and it’s the only good festival around here. Going to Nashville to see them in December 😊
Hillary Rockwell I discovered bad flower off octane as well!!
I wonder how much pain this brings any time he sings it?! Or if it is actually healing to him because he has overcome or has managed his depression. I absolutely LOVE this song, I relate so much.
Crystal Smith I believe the word you’re looking for is cathartic: the purging of the emotions or relieving of emotional tensions, especially through certain kinds of art, as tragedy or music.
Can't wait for the album 😭😭 still one of my favourite Songs by then, that and move me, love you guys ❤️
Can't wait for March 20th!
Me too!
@Badflower, lot of fire in your ! Love the energies
You know it's getting bad when you start to listen to this song again......
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🔥
This song touches a dangerous part of my soul that I have tried to leave behind.
Sux..how many of us relate to this
Love y'all
Gotta Fight for life
♡🤘

What a great and melodic song to play to my daughter who just recovered from suicidal ideation, we're currently at 0:14
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧🎸
Saw them in detroit at riffest. I had never heard of them before that show, and they were amazing!
