I'm just dying bc of school.. I study for hours now but you saved me again... Your music never disappoints.. How can you get better with every song ? How is that even possible?

[god]

You are going to be a star one day!
Make it happen!

[HelvyCeleste]

Thanks U N D E R D O G S to make me discover such a good artist !!

This is still one of the most interesting songs to me just because of the unique perspective. Songs are almost always sung from the perspective of the victim, or, if not, with a sense of pride to their actions.

[AstralAtrocity]

I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING, I SAW THIS SO RANDOMLY ON INSTAGRAM AND I AM STUCK TO THIS LIKE WOW. JUST WOW.

Is this the actual nico's yt channel? If it is, Hi! I happened to run into your music yesterday and boy did it make an impression, they really hit close to home and made me feel super emotional and i proudly say that :') my fav so far are honest, alone, stranger, 10/10 and the list is growing by the minute. Your music is always telling a story and i love reading and analyzing the lyrics to understand what you're trying to convey or imply by each and every lyric, its such a bitter sweet ride, and your voice, its so soothing and effortless, i love the sound of it, you really are what ive been looking for all this time in music, overall, im so glad i found you, i feel like you write your own songs and if you do then thats all the more reason to be invested in them, in you. You deserve more recognition. Okay not to bore you and to conclude, overall, Great work nico, im a big fan of yours now, and i cant wait to see what you bring to the table for us in the future :D

Two seconds of the song and I already love it

[AzHiie]

In certain ways I can somewhat relate to the song's lyrics (aGAIN, , YOUR SONGS ARE ALWAYS SO RELATABLE) and it makes me want to sing this outloud wow imma get right on it as soon as I memorize the lyrics by heart

Once again, thank you for your music and your existence. You are appreciated.✨

(Lyrics)
Maybe it's the way I was born and raised
Cut off my emotion to survive my days
Now I see people as a way to get by
All I gotta do is find the truth in my lies


Five months later, you're still around
You should be embarrassed by the way I let you down
Making excuses for you and not me
Blame it on yourself 'cause you're too afraid to leave

You keep saying that you're needing me
See me for the man that you swear I'll be
But you ain't gonna know me the way I do
I'd never give it up on a life for two

Gun to my head and you know you can't help me
Another in my bed and you know you can't help me
Took another hit and you know you can't help me
Just go, yeah, just go
I don't understand why you're so forgiving
Caught me red-handed but you still won't listen
You know what I told you since the day we started
I'll always be "honest"

The cops are at your door and they ask you where I am
You paint a puzzled face and you lie for me again
Risking your life like you do a hundred times
Eventually you're gonna take the fall for my crimes

Slam the door and look me in the eye
Screaming this is gonna be the last time
You're tired of me taking advantage
So I cry and you pay for the damage

Gun to my head and you know you can't help me
Another in my bed and you know you can't help me
Took another hit and you know you can't help me
Just go, yeah, just go
I don't understand why you're so forgiving
Caught me red-handed but you still won't listen
You know what I told you since the day we started
I'll always be "honest"

When it gets heavy, you break down and say
"Why are you heartless, who made you this way?"
I stare at you vacantly, right through your face
I draw a blank
I-I-I draw a blank

Throwing my shit 'cause you don't understand
The reasons behind why I am who I am
You beg for the answer we know I don't have
I draw a blank
I-I-I draw a blank

Gun to my head and you know you can't help me
Another in my bed and you know you can't help me
Took another hit and you know you can't help me
So just go, yeah, just go
don't understand why you're so forgiving
Caught me red-handed but you still won't listen
You know what I told you since the day we started
I'll always be "honest"

have betrayed you
I have betrayed you
Please don't forgive me, I'll do it again
I have betrayed you
I have betrayed you
I'll always be "honest"

I have betrayed you
I have betrayed you
Please don't forgive me, I'll do it again
I have betrayed you
I have betrayed you
I'll always be "honest"

Can I just say - I relate to this song? In middle school and late elementary school I did some stuff that put in a program for troubled students and wound up pushing everyone away. It took finally having a teacher who supported me to get me out of the pit of problems I'd dug myself into. This song hits close to home, because I didn't understand why that teacher helped me at first, because no one had bothered before. She wore me down eventually though, and everything turned out for the best.

I've been sick for the past few days so I'm only now seeing this. I just wanna say, great work on this one man. For some reason, I really like the lyric "Gun to my head and you know you can't help me." This song is just an overall masterpiece.💞💕💞💕💞😊

[radhesethi]

Dude I'm a sucker for good lyrics and your songs are all about them. 👏

[Noramythseeker]

You never hear a song like this anymore much that shows the darker conflict of the some attackers who want to understand why they do this. Pushing the envelope in a wonderful way! I love this!

[anneshagupta]

I'm so sorry for the world....Shit songs are going above the charts day by day whereas this bop song has only got 2k views....I don't know what's wrong with this world....Anyways...Found you through a google add and now I can say that I love google
