From the Album: Crystal Castles (II)

[aleg]

this song is gonna carry the whole fall and winter season again

[romeostonem]

i want everyone listening to this to know their music taste is amazing

[YourlocalShai-Li]

this song, wintertime, dark outside, taking a walk, headphones on, hands in pockets, enjoying the air after some rain. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE FORM OF THIS SONG.

[ender]

This song is like pain and relief. Not as separate things, but as one.

[VinnyR]

This album ALWAYS reminds me of winter

[rinal.]

This song is like a drug. Listened once - you need another dose, it is addictive. But the feelings and emotions that I experience while listening to this masterpiece cannot be described in words. You seem to find yourself in another reality, a space that draws you into itself. And at this time you feel such mixed and strange emotions - something magical, inspired and at the same time sad and nostalgic. As if what you feel is real, but it is not. This music does not bore you.

When I was 13-14 I listened crystal castles 24/7 just because they were the only band that could undertand my depression
I felt safe with their angelical and scary synths
Today im 20 and now i feel how crystal castles brings me the power to live, to feel, to be sad and to be happy
I feel you if you re broken inside, I was there and the only thing that I can say to you is
You are important, accept your feelings, accept the darkest part of you, cry, cry all the time you need, accept that your angry and let your angry feeling get out of you but dont hurt anyone, express your emotions
Believe in yourself and fuck the World, fuck the people that hurt you, you are special, you are more stornger than your problems
I love you
If you can, meditate, go to the gym, eat heathly, smile, be grateful of what you have, even if is less, forgive the people that hurt you
Say to you that youre the best, even if you dont Believe it, with the time you will see results
If I can Go to the past I will say this to myself of 13-14 years old
You will be okey, I love you
I hope this help to anyone that see this
(sorry if I had a bad english)

[Unknown-fjzu]

This song is technically happiness and depression mixed together

[cakewaIItz]

[Verse 1]
We ignore refused consent
Animals do not repent
Courtesy to intervene
Weathered down my selfish needs

[Chorus]
I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And if I change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as I've wasted my nights and I've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something
You've waited in vain because there's nothing for you
Suffocation

[Verse 2]
Humility yet to be seen
Models made of plasticine
Morality disgrace us now
Entertain and take a bow

[Chorus]
I suffocate
And promise me you won't resuscitate
And if I change my mind it's far too late
I'm wasting my days as I've wasted my nights and I've wasted my youth
You're waiting for something
You've waited in vain because there's nothing for you
Suffocation

(II) is their masterpiece. So visceral and emotional. I can't believe it's been 12 years... Seeing them at the Warfield in 2011 changed my life

[brendacecil]

I love 3:12 is soo celestial, like everything is finally over and you are feeling happy, in peace. This has always been my favorite song since I´m 14, now I´m 22

[MrSheepHere]

6 Years ago, I was totally lost in existence, always thought I was going to disappear as life was really rough back then, however, Crystal Castles had this... feeling to their music that you can only ''feel'' instead of hear... Something that always made me feel like... There was more to life than I thought.
Now... 6 years later, not only I was able to pick myself up from those hard times, now I am married to the love of my life, and we have a kid.
I will always come back to this song to reminisce how everything changed for good, Crystal Castles will always be in my heart.
Stay strong you all, the only thing about hard times is that they never last forever.

[SomeHomesickAlien]

One of the most beautiful songs ever made, one of the most best albums ever made and honestly one of the best bands that ever existed. Its tragic to realize Alice has suffered through all of this. Hope she is in a better state of mind🙏

[JoNotReally]

I hate myself for ignoring this band for so long.

[chickenblaster]

This song's keyboards and vocals are amazing, listen to this very often. Helps fight depression, for real.

[Ivyrus]

"I'm wasting my days as I've wasted my nights and I've wastes my youth" is so relatable, I'm 15 turning 16 in a month and I've been struggling with obsessive thoughts for over a year. Im constantly fighting them inside my head and therefore isolate myself from my surroundings and people. I've finished my first year in high school and instead of having all sorts of memories with new people I remember nothing. Absolutely nothing. My life is so boring, I just want to be normal again

[leftfieldmine]

Music like this really teaches us how sometimes we don´t need advice when we´re feeling down or suffocated.. we just want a mirror where we can feel understood and embraced.

I discovered this song back in April, when i was struggling with self harm. Every time when i listen to this song, it brings back good and bad memories from this year's spring. Now I'm 5 months clean. I still listen to this song, and i realized how much Crystal Castles helped me and how many memories their songs hold, and I'm grateful for that. <3

[jmchichstudio]

For all the depressed people out here - I wish you the best. I don't belive in myself, but I want to believe in you.

[momentocatartico]

I've been listening this song for months and it never annoying me. Love this even if it's a bit suicidal
