"Maybe I overreact a bit.
It hasn't destroyed me yet, has it?"

OOF

I think the problem with depression at a young age (under... let's say... sixteen) is the fact that, if you tell people, they'll laugh and say you're just being hormonal or dramatic, and then you start wondering if you really are just being dramatic, when you might actually have a really serious problem. Adults tend to look down on kids, and they don't usually think kids can actually get mental illnesses. Which isn't really fair at all, when you think about it. Kids are probably more fragile and prone to breaking because of things that *adults* might think isn't that bad.
Idk why I wrote this, I've been feeling down lately and I don't have anyone to talk to since my parents are super busy and I don't wanna bug my friends.
If anyone reads this, feel free to write about what you've been going through. It can help you get your emotions out.

Edit: Hey! Wow, it's only been four months. I'm kinda just here to say that I love that people can write out what's going on for them under this comment. Also that, at the time of my writing this, I was considering suicide, I didn't think anything would ever change, and I thought that I'd be depressed for the rest of my life. But right now, I'm probably the happiest I've ever been and if I had really gone through with suicide back then, nothing would have changed, y'know? Please don't ever give up. Everything will get better eventually, even if that takes years or just days.

Edit Apr 5th 2021: I think I'm making a habit of coming back here every four months lol. Things are going fairly bad for me currently, although I'm okay with it now. It's not as bad as it used to be and I'm looking towards the future rn. Again, I'm glad everyone has been able to talk about their problems in the replies. I'm sorry I'm not able to respond to a lot of them, even though I try to ^^" Good luck, everyone, and please don't give up!

Edit July 22nd 2021: Currently I'm tired, I want to give up, I don't see the point in living, and I'm just generally not having a good time. I don't even know why. Things were going well for a while, but I feel like I've hit the lowest of the low lately. The summertime always does that to me, though, for some reason, so I know I'll be fine in a month or two. I guess the good part about hitting this rough of a time is knowing that things can't really get much worse. Peace out

edit august 7th 2023: i kept thinking i should add something else to this comment so that people didn't think i like. died or something. i'm alive, i'm doing so so so much better than i was when i was younger. if you're reading this and you're going through something hard, i want you to know that i love you and things will get better. we're always changing, and so is the world, and even when things seem hopeless there's still so much to live for. this is probably going to be my last update to this comment because it feels cheesy to have this like. diary. just in the middle of a youtube comment section. but yeah, please keep holding on. life is worth living. thank you lizz for this song that gave me hope when i didn't think i had any <3

This song can really be translated in so many ways... There's no such thing as "missing a point".
It gets really annoying since you don't see the song like that person do. I'll list what I see about the song meaning...

It could be...
A loss of a loved one.
A feel of rejection.
A failed high expectations.
Thoughts of suicide.
Loads of misunderstanding.
A regretful thing.
An embarrassment.
Trust issues.
A fear of being left alone.
Anxiety and mental issues.

And could probably be a lot more.
It's okay to see the song however you like or see.
And if you're having issues in life please stay safe and healthy. You are strong and I wish the best for you.
I consider talking to someone who can really comfort you. Thank you <3

"You're sick, aren't you dear?"
"I'm sick of tears."
Man, that hit me like a train wreck... in my opinion, this part describes anyone who is being labeled as having a mental illness that they really don't have. Whenever we have our break downs and moments, some people take that as a sign that something is wrong with our brain. When really, we reached our limit and can't handle the stress anymore. Words hurt more than you might think.

[noellebell]

I listened to this on repeat 5 years ago, it was my song in the sixth grade. I remember that I thought there was no point to anything anymore. I remember my grades slipping, and falling down into the tens, and feeling like an idiot. I also remember wishing my parents would just get along, even if it was better they weren't together. I remeber feeling that there was no point to life other than my friends, and if they left me I was better off dead.

The point is that things change. I still feel like I can't achieve my goals, but when I look back, I've made so much progress. And even though things don't get better always, you learn how to cope with it all.

It's going to be okay, you gotta keep moving.

[MegaLpso]

i think i truly understand whats going on in this song now, Its about being hurt by someone or something and suffering from it..But then those who hurt you Are suffering as well from somebody else. and its just a constant loop its called "irony" for a reason, Because its ironic the abuser is abused and the bully is the bullied one. its truly the saying "Oh, the irony!!"

[phiphi]

The words "It's fairly clear that I'm not alone" is something I use everyday. I know that I'm not alone. I know that I can rely on people. But I'm scared. I'm scared of many things and some of them I don't know why. I'm not alone, but I'm also not okay.

[potatolord]

I feel like I can relate to every word of this song, its so hard to understand a person sometimes and I cant understand myself sometimes. I cant be called happy though I act happy but im actually sad and in pain. It's just so hard to explain this, like a person is crying, but they dont deserve to cry yet they also do. I love this song and the lyrics.

[haothinguyen]

I feel that walking has become another chore
I don’t think I can go on walking anymore
Forgive me for those words,
I know they’re but a cliche to you
But life is tiring, my feet are feeling sore
I wish that I could have a bit of time
To heal the ache that’s growing stronger all the time
But I know time stops for nobody,
let alone me, and so I go,
inevitably…
Whenever things are going rather happily
It turns out life is just playing a trick on me
It’s slightly shameful to admit the truth,
I end up in tears
And so returns the same old melancholy
I miss when life was just simplicity
And misery wasn’t always chasing after me
It’s pretty obvious now,
I should have left my regret
But I held onto it, so foolishly
Maybe I overreact a bit
It hasn’t destroyed me yet, has it?
But everything I desire is always just too far to get
Honestly, it’s just me, brainlessly, so silly
Always hoping for good to be
If that’s the case then just hear my plea
Pick me up and drop me into unfaltering sleep
You say to look hard for a solution
But wouldn’t that depend on the person?
So, I could never, no I could never
Believe a word anyone says
I know that everyone has their hardships
It’s fairly clear to me that I’m not alone
But how is it that they can just leave them
I just don’t know at all
Often I’m told I need to clean up my act
Although maturity is something I lack
And so when some simple little problems arise
I over think them, over and over again
It seems that the world is just a
troublesome place, so
Sometimes I think that I should just end the pain
“You’re sick, aren’t you dear?”
“I’m sick of the tears”
Why can’t everything just end simply?
Everything I aspired to be
Is nothing that will become of me
If my expectations are too far-fetched,
then just what am I to do?
Give a sign, give a sign, a reason not to die
Give me a chance to prove my worth
I constantly search for a place to cry
Why won’t these tears just stop pouring from my eyes?
It’s hard to constantly think of the same things
It’s just unnecessary to think too much
You always told me stars
would guide me back home
Although they only show at night
You always showed me so much kindness
I don’t deserve it, I have failed you too much
I think my tiny heart is going to split
Just leave it be, for now…
Step back from me…
Please leave me be…
This so-deceitful world that I stumble on
is never going to end
It’s getting difficult to maneuver
And it’s just worthless to try and run away
So I’ll just hold my hands over my ears
And block out all this noise
How can I live not knowing what life is?
Sometimes my dreams seem to be more realistic
Obviously I can’t be called happy
Then, what am I, after all...?

[lemonkirby]

This songs hits really close to home for a lot of people. That's probably why they love it so much. It describes how they feel, they way they've been telling themselves.

[BubblesBFF]

Man, Lizz, singing this must've been emotionally draining. No wonder you wrote in the description "I don't have much to say." Good job on this! This is so much more emotionally and beautiful compared to the original!

[karolineluvi]

“Everything I aspire to be, is nothing to become of me”
Ouch. My mom keeps calling me stubborn and that I was so much better when I was a kid. Sometimes, I fell like she doesn’t love who I have become. She told me I could tell her what I want and she would give it but all she has done is reject me. That’s why I hide so many things from her, because I don’t think it’s worth arguing over what I want. Just give her what she wants, it’s not like I’m not spoiled already but... I love this song.

[cbonde]

There are many lives this song can represent. And this *greatly* represents them. This is actually, probably, the manifestation of all the troubles you can have in life. I don't know how anyone could get into a possibly bad life like this, but for those suffering and reading this right now, *there is hope.* *Stop over-thinking.* *You can do this. There is hope. The happy end is WITHIN REACH.* *Change, if ya have to, but look on the positive side.* *Look on the bright side. Every cloud has a silver lining.*

*You just have to find it.*

[OwlskiTV]

One of my friends recently passed away after a long battle with depression. This song was on her favorites, and I can just only imagine how much she must of been able to relate to it.

My friend cared greatly about others close to her, and she was a light in the dark for others. She never seen herself as anything special, but if she knew how many hearts she touched when she passed, she would of never doubted herself, or her potential for a better tomorrow.

I can't promise life will get easier, but if you keep your heart open and use it to find that shimmer of hope (no matter how dark), you'll be able to pull through, and in the end find the happiness and love that everyone deserves.

[Studio_Pinwheel]

You know. It’s been about 5-6 years since I heard this for the first time, and I’m a 16 year old boy.
It’s really hard to accept that even tho so much time has passed, this song still describes me very well.

[thesouthparkgirl]

It's so hard to live in the world sometimes. You feel awful because you have no ability to solve your problems, and then you see everyone around who seems to be suffering worse than you, but they're able to push those problems aside so easily. You want to really badly express your emotions and feelings, but you feel everyone will hate you for them and dismiss them. Then, when you do express those emotions, they make you look weak, pathetic. It hurts to want to be perfect, to know you've tried so hard, but you failed. You have far fetched beliefs and expectations, and it gives you a sense of hope. But then you fail. And it hurts so much. Everyone around you tells you that failure is a huge step into getting to success. They make it seem easy, but it isn't. None of it ever is. So you run. You say you'll be an optimist, and sometimes you lose yourself in that optimism. For some of us, it works. Some of us just keep walking down that dark road. Sometimes it's both, and both sides hurt equally as much. If you can't be called happy, not depressed, then what are you? Why can't things be much simpler? Things are always dependent on the person, so why we keep falling victim to generalizations? Those words "Are you okay?" They mean nothing. You want no one to worry for you, or potentially call your problems very small. You want to scream, but you also think that you'll only be accepted by the world if you don't scream. People tell you to express yourself, but why do we get punished for crying? Some people make life look so simple, so easy. You get convinced that you can make it that way, but it never actually ends up that way. It's painful. Overreaction is a common thing, but hey, it doesn't destroy us, right? Honestly, it's just me, brainlessly so silly, always hoping for life to be great and easy. Dang. That was a mess to type. It's such a profound, contradictory thing. That's probably why it's called irony.

You always told me stars would guide me back home although they only show at night...

[seonglvr]

It hurts

Every thought is a battle
Every breath is a war
And I don't feel
Like I'm winning anymore
