Yung Lean - 'Agony' (Official Audio)

[deathknigt]

This sounds like heaven, but it hurts like hell.

[katiepfeiffer]

I did some 'research' so I sound less stupid... So this song is about reflecting on what happened when he was in Miami in 2015. "I'm chasing witches in the street" is referring to him looking for drug lords' 'potions', "watching horses in the field" is Yung Lean recalling himself staying with his father at his rural house in Sweden after he got out of the hospital, "The dragons rest in agony" is referring to the amount of drugs he took in Miami, "when I'm afraid I lose my mind" is him referring to how he would stay up late in Miami and he was writing a book on his phone called "heaven" which he was recalling nightmares from his childhood and/or how he checked his snapchat after he got a nosebleed and his girlfriend just so happen to have one aswell and feelings started to pour over him and he started to tear apart the condo he was staying in, "Isolation caved it, I adore you, the sound of your skin" is referring to how Yung felt at that time in his life since he was suffering from manic episodes and felt utterly alone, he is expressing his need for human touch, "My furniture has come alive" is referring to him tearing apart his condo, "I'm dancing with a candlestick tonight" is referring to his isolation.

I will always come back to this masterpiece

[GreenMonkey]

I stared at the ceiling for over an hour with this song laying on repeat and just questioning everything. I had company over and never felt so alone . I dont understand how im still here. This song means alot to me. If it wasnt for music idk. Music like this keeps me going.

The year was 2014. I was living in Orlando fl, renting a room in the hood at only 18 years old. Been on my own for a year and a half at that point. I had just discovered sad boys. I listened to lean, sherman and gud as i drove my jeep all over the state of florida for work remodeling homes. I would listen to them on these sometimes 2+ hour drives, at work and in my room. A couple months later i got my girl pregnant. Anothe couple months later i got us a house in tbe daytona beach area. Couldn't afford to drive back and forth everyday so i would sleep hours away from home in my jeep. I would smoke blunts and listen to sad boys and relax as much as possible. A few months after that, i got a job with brighthouse. I drove all around florida listening to sad boys some more but now i was home with my wife and daughter everyday. Did that for 3 years. Got let go when spectrun took over. Took up construction in orlando so i was back to driving there everyday so more sad boys all day then too. Did that for about 18 months, and my girl and i ended up having a son. Hes now almost a year old and im now a chef at high class seafood restraunt and i work for a healthy meal prep company. And i still listen to these guys to keep it all together.

I met a guy on yung lean's fanpage and we started to talk u know, everyday, he was from another country. He lived so far from me. But after a while we were into a relationship, we used to sleep on the phone, do everything on the phone. After 11 months of being together on distance relationship he finally came. I picked him from aiport in another country too. When we came home, we were listening to Yung Lean together and we were listening to this song and we were so happy, we were together because Yung lean. We used to sing and listen his songs together. Now im listening alone.
Sadboy here

[DMystic]

this song is literally an indescribable sadness not only from lean's perspective, but into all of us, i am glad a song like this exists

[Zoogs]

The fact that this man went from rapping about mosquito tits to making music like this in less than 5 years it truly incredible. His progression as an artist is so inspirational.

[simoncotter]

today I stood on a bridge and thought about jumping down, but I didn't cave... I'm at the lowest of lows, but still something kept me from jumping. I realised that I need help and I have to talk to people about how I feel. I think that's the first step to getting better or at least I hope so. Probably no one's going to read this but I just had to write it. If you're thinking about ending your life don't do it, it's the only thing you got. You might end your suffering but you won't be there to realise it. Keep on fighting

[sirky]

I'm not depressed, i'm not in troubles, I don't take drugs, I just love this song, it's very important for me, the most important song in my life, you feel me? But I feel pity, because of you guys, I just believe that everything will be at least fine, I believe in you, keep strong! Greetings from Poland.

[DylNewman]

This song is dangerous if you’re not in the right headspace

[MichaeIKay]

Believe it or not, but the dude, who wrote ginseng strip 2002, made this. And his producers of course, this crew will earn legendary status one day.

[mr.fancyraccoon]

Even more moving than the song itself are the people that gather around songs like this. It's almost like you listen to the song and you know you're hurting in unison with thousands. Art can be such a sanctuary for hurt souls out there and to see someone going through the worst time of their lives reach out to a stranger in the exact same spot and try to give them hope is the reason I'll always treasure humanity, no matter out much we do to tear each other apart. We really are here for one another, and it is beautiful.

my dad has throat cancer and got through radiation and lost his voice. Then his throat started to swell up so now he has a hole in his throat to breath. He's really really down and in pain and it makes me wanna cry. on top of that our medical bills are crazy and i dont know how my family will pay them or make it though this. We're all beaten down and struggling to stay sane and keep going. But it's nothing compared to what my father is going through. i love you all, and i love you lean for helping me keep my wits and stay strong for my family.

[jacbsn]

This deserves so many more millions of views… shit is so magical it hurts your soul

[idleglance]

This song will forever put me into tears everytime I listen to it

[OOE]

When I'm afraid I lose my mind -
Its fine it happens all the time.

This hits home so hard. When I'm afraid, I freak out, essentially losing my mind.
Godspeed anyone reading this comment, this song hits home to me, and I hope it hits home for you too.

When I'm lonely, this song is always there for me.

[TranzlFerHD]

my dad told me something i feel like a lot of people could appreciate and apply to their lives; you will always live with regrets, that much is inevitable but everyday you wake up is a new chapter. the choice to remain being who you were and doing what you’ve been doing on the page before is up to you. you can just as easily go against the grain and change. that is what makes us human.

[bobrossantichrisst]

I’m 30 years old and this is the first time I’ve heard this.
I think this speaks to so many people at so many places in their life.
I can’t believe i’m saying this.
Yung Lean has knowledge
