To anyone out there that came here due to sorrow:
It’s okay. Let your sorrow out but don’t let it destroy you. You don’t have to push it away all the time. You can let it pour like the rain. And as rain does, let it pour, but let it wash away. Let it leave. I promise you that one day things will be okay, but for now, let the rain pour and then wash away. Whenever you’re ready.

[StepikGame]

I'm not depressed and I'm fine. And I'm just here because I like it.

[revolver_oshawott]

I am a man who will fight for your respect,

I am a man who will fight for your trust,

I am a man who will fight for your love,

I am a man who will fight for your freedom

I am a man who will fight for your honor.

[bluesnake]

If you are reading this now, I am not depressed, but I am in pain right now. All I can say is, please go forward and don't be afraid. I tell myself the same thing and it does make me feel better and I move on. Guys, never give up, this empty world still needs you.

[Stolen_Bus]

Mr Chris you saved my life from suicide with this song. I am thankfull... I listen to this song every night. Just thank you...

[CSRLaunchpad]

If people try to bring you down, it only means you are above them.

[midget]

How can i have a loving family and still feel alone and depressed? Is there something wrong with me? i feel bad about being depressed because other people have real reasons to be depressed and i'm sitting here 16 yo with a roof on top of my head, food on the table and my life ahead of me complaining. i'm sorry to whoever read this for wasting your time. I hope you have a great life.

RIP all those who died in plane crashes for you are gone but never forgotten 💔🙏😢😔

[imogencarney]

You worked so hard, you did so well, but it's time for you to rest, the pain has gone now...goodbye honey we will always love you.

[Lance_a_Lot]

If you feel like letting go,
it means you're already holding on.
Don't you dare giving up,
no matter where your soul is at.
The pain won't go away with death,
it'll just steal all your wealth.
What wealth is that?, you may ask.
It's everyday gifts that last.
Just close your eyes for a bit,
and wander through the simplest gifts:
The coffee smell, the sunset rays,
the smell of wet grass and the rain.
The jokes that give you a good laugh,
petting an animal, having a nap.
Hugging a person or a pillow,
reading a book under a willow.
Taking your shoes off to relax,
enjoying foods or drinks or snacks.
The summer breeze, the ocean waves,
the warmth of fire on cold days.
Create your own world in your mind,
to find refuge of any kind.
Your eyes may see bullies,
your mind can turn them into lollies,
your ears may hear insults,
your mind can turn them into fart songs.
Your mind can be a private shield,
that you can edit as you will.
You can add unicorns, rainbows, sweets,
animals, food, jokes or drinks.
No one will ever know 'xept you,
what's in your mind or within you.
No one can judge, no one invades.
You choose the shapes, colours and shades.
Your mind is a weapon so strong,
that's been against you for so long.
So don't waste time, take control,
and become allies against the world!

Even if nobody told you they love you, i do. I don't know you, i don't know what you've done, i don't care, we all do very bad things and mistakes no matter how big they are. I love you. Do you hear that? I love you dear stranger. I know I'll probably never meet you, but always know that there's someone out there that loves you. That's me. And who knows? There's probably more people who do :) Enjoy your life my friend. Use the privacy of your mind to escape from the depressing or sad situations. Make funny scenarios, think of anything that makes you happy. Nobody will know. Only you :)
Have a good life! And when the day comes when you'll naturally close your eyes forever, we might meet up there. Stay strong, don't forget to laugh and go on. Stop seeking death. Let him come to you whenever he thinks it's time. Until then, you don't have to worry about it. That's his job. All you have to do is enjoy life! Love you! :D 🌹❤

This is one of the songs that symbolizes the inredible force of music. Music is able to describe feelings words could never explain.

[dibujosanimados]

I'm here cause the song is sad and I'm depressed.

[jessejamison]

Many perceive depression when they hear this song; however I can only see hard, invested, time and effort about to pay off.
The picture in this video for example: The runner who spent so much time training and revolving their life around this moment and is about to beat whatever goal they set for them self.
Watch the movie The Count of Monte Cristo from 2002. Play this music when Fernand Mondego opens a chest only to find the king piece to a chess set.
For me, this music depicts finally being able to confront what you have been preparing for. Depression may be one of many emotions that play out during a moment like that, but it's definitely not the only one.

Holy shit. I left a comment on here four years ago. My life was so much different then. I looked much younger and I was so happy. I was dating the most wonderful person on earth, going on little adventures with her and spending hours sitting in a car with her just enjoying each others company. We had a dog named Bean. He was like a son to me. We had chickens too. They liked following me around. I lost everything since then. She’s moved on to other men, the chickens are gone, and Bean just isn’t the same anymore. My wounds haven’t healed. They festered and the infection has spread everywhere. I’m in such a dark place.

[haleysandoval]

I miss the old me. I look at old pictures and realize how that spark in my eyes is gone. I just want to feel happiness because this pain is the worst pain I have ever felt it’s almost indescribable and unbearable. I feel so fucking tired and nobody is there I’m drowning and nobody is helping me. I don’t want to die but suicide crosses my mind everyday now and honestly idk if i’ll ever have a good future

[jbarth]

I can’t tell how much this song helps me rn. I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for almost 5 Years now and I’m only 16. Sometimes I feel like there’s nobody who understands me, nobody who can relate and nobody who knows about my feelings. Some days it just feels like I’m drowning in my tears but everyone around me ist breathing clearly or doesn’t even seem to care about my mental health. And sometimes it feels like I’m slowly dying inside. Music rescued me so many times. I’ve been really desperate lately and I’m trying so hard not to make the worst out of everything. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads my comment rn because I feel like you are the only human beings on this planet who listen to me and that low key cures my sorrow. ( and I’m really sorry if I spelled something wrong because I’m from Switzerland and I’m not a native English speaker)

I hope you all are feeling better than when you first wrote these comments.
The first time I came to this song, I was intrigued by the title. I fought for my friends, but I didnt feel fought for. I was bullied a lot, and assaulted daily. I started to just want to slip away. I would come home, go to my room, and cry for hours listening to movie soundtracks and slow songs. I would daydream of a world where there wasnt pain, but victory. I would reflect back on the day and wonder why I was so different. Why I was so easily a target. Why no one liked me.

I came to realize these thoughts were just plain destructive and not true. There are people who wanted to know me, who were too shy to reach out to me. Bullied like me. Who wanted to be my friend. My depression isolated me and made me accept a reality that wasnt true. I became blind to truths in front of my face. I didnt accept good things for myself because i thought i didnt deserve them, or that they didnt exist. But they did exist. They were what i lied on. A bed. A family who wanted me out of my room. A dog who sat by my door as I cried, waiting for me to open it and come out to use the restroom. A house. People who tried to be a friend to me who I pushed away.

Dont let your depression lie to you. Dont let it make things worse than they actually are. Dont let it drag you down. It's so easy to slip off into that wonderland. But before you do, remember what's true. Remember what's real. Theres good in this world. The first thing I started with was music and the sunrise/sunset. Those were my beauties and goods. Start with that if you truly feel you have nothing. Hold onto it.

And know it does get better. When I first heard this song, I couldn't see it at all. I just got sad and insulted myself to music. But the thing is, there is more to this life than that. And it's worth holding on for. I still struggle with mental illness issues, but I've found a lot of things to help. I accepted friends. I reached out to make friends. I fought hard to accomplish something because I was tired of telling myself i cant. Its bullshit. And i proved depression wrong. And you can too. Its takes time, but it's worth the wait.
"I am a man who will fight for your honor."
I am going to fight for my own honor. Say it with me. I am going to fight for my own honor.

[chay]

"I am a man who will fight for your honor, but I will still lie. For how can I be honest in a world that lies to itself? A childish lie taught to the offspring of every person I know. They assume that they hide the truths of the world from their children, but we keep those lies, their truths, as our wall against worldwide panic, for our truth would shatter weak will in a singular moment. Our children will not be like that Clavi', they will grow strong and righteous. They will make the world see itself for what it is, then the universe." -Follower Zealot Stith, 1981

I had to post this as soon as I saw the song name.

[ndymond]

I dont normally cry but dam, i was sobbing by the 10 minute mark

[MustyOnur]

I'm living with depression for years, I dont know what is happiness called, I will never understand how people can happy, can laugh... I wish my life is happy, I wish I can be happy, I wish I can laugh and smile all time, I wish I have someone to hug, someone to cry on shoulder... This song... I'm happy to found this song weeks ago, I can step on my darkness and listen this song, it is just beautiful <3
