To all of you who feel like this song sounds who are still here...thanks for keeping up the battle. I'm proud of you.

"Break the Cycle" probably makes my top 10 albums of all time. This is one of my favorite songs ever.

I lost my 20 year old son to a kayaking accident. He was missing in the lake for 3 days. I had to identify him. I died that day. I literally felt my soul leave my body. This is exactly how I feel daily😢😢 I love and miss you so much son😢

[symphonyoflife]

My wife loved this song oh how I wish she was still here with me see you again my love....

[jefftreeburner]

This is the only song that describes what major depressive disorder makes you feel like everyday

Been a Staind fan from the beginning. 34 years old and just saw them for the first time this week live. When Aaron played this solo, I lost it...not gonna lie.

Just saw staind last night. Aaron said this song is about his personal struggles with ADD. I liked this song when it first came out. Now 20 years later and having kids my self that deal with ADD this song has a whole new meaning. Another note I saw staind in 2000. They have not changed. Still sound the same.

Your words to me, just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

[Chorus]
‘Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should’ve said

So I speak to you in riddles
‘Cause words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
‘Cause I can’t take anymore of this
I want to come apart
I dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

[Chorus]
...

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Though I always try to hide
‘Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don’t know how I feel
But I know I’ll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

[Chorus]
...

[DanielJayUSA]

I forgot about this song, man. Takes me back.

[simspawn]

I lived a large portion of my life as this song. I had my reasons the same as anyone else has theirs. I don't think this will be a popular opinion, but I know that it didn't stop for me until I chose to take control of my emotions, and actions, and life. It was never going to change, and literally cannot change, until that is done. I know that to a large extent our emotions and feelings are a reaction to reality around us, but I've also learned they are as much and even more reliant on how we as an individual CHOOSE to feel. It has a lot to do with perception and focus, what you look for you truly do find, but only so far as you actively look not passively wait to find. It has a lot more to do with just choosing to be happy, to live a happy life, to take happiness in what you have. It also builds into so much more. There is so much more to being a human being than just feeling like shit, and so very much more to being human than simply not feeling like shit. But hey, for me, and some of us, that is a necessary first step. Damn it's a hard one too.

If you are still living this song, please know first you aren't alone, nor are you doomed to it. You can escape, even if my methods don't work for you. Other people have gotten out to. Don't give up hope. Where there is life and Will, there is hope.

[RaymondS]

This is one of the most powerful songs on any album I can think of

[briansaxton]

Thank you Aaron. This puts me in a somber instead of depressed mood I owe you for that

[ingrid_inthesky]

I used to run away at 14 before school and only bring some smoke and this cd. I would just sit in an empty apartment wishing for someone to find me.This album got me through but the trauma is still there as if it were back then.

[SKIADK]

This song is really Brilliant lyrically. 😢

[cassaronie]

My dad just passed away and this was the last song he sent me. Listening to it now and I’ve known this song but it’s so much more now. 😭💔

[fatzgalore]

It's interesting when a song describes exactly how you feel all the time...every day of your life.

[bobg]

I can listen to this over and over I'm on my 8th time😊😊😊😊😉

[berrinwilliams]

I just found this letter with my dad's favorite songs n it was only about 7 of them n this is one of them by Staind he listed n it was to my mother whole he was locked up. Its speechless of how my life has been but I'm here n still going n will continue to live n live for what my father didn't get to. Just thought I'd share with everyone that just hang in there n believe better n do that better for yourself n make a life no matter how hard it gets keep your head up n in complete respect for all religions I believe in the Lord n everyday something tells me there is something in the future just keep pushing through all that pain n there will be your uprising in life that will bring you much more better in life but just do right in life love help n we all family.

[Chase-uprd]

This was always my favorite song on the album!

"I know I'll do the right thing, if the right thing is revealed."
Never thought I'd prove that statement out.
It took a catalyzing moment for me, but I made it out of the place this song describes. It can happen boys, but it can take 20 years. Worse still, it's gotta come from within you.
I hope you all get that moment. You will do the right thing when you can finally see what it is.
