I lost myself as a teenager. Hanged myself at 18 and if the rope hadn't snapped none of the joys, like my young adult son, would have ever happened. Plus, my parents would have been forced to discover horror. Having nearly lost my son in 2021 at 26 years old, to leukemia, the terror and gut punching pain that i might truly lose my world really made me feel more guilty about nearly leaving my parents that pain. Luckily, he is 2 years in remission and will turn 29 on Sunday! I've also lost several to their own hands and that pain is a specially unhealing wound that can fester. That description in the song is so spot on for depression and suicidal ideation. The imagery it evokes. Being trapped in myself, unable to leave my bruised, broken body with dark secrets in my floors that others have told me, and then i lost the people to their own hand or they left or passed leaving me with this life-changing secrets that I'm supposed to take to my grave because I'm so trustworthy and everyone knows I'm such a good friend... I forgot how to be me back then and it took me years and years to find me again. A decade ago, i fell ill to a severe chronic pain disorder, coupled with hypermobility that caused so many injuries (Plus I'm clumsy as f*ck lol) that i don't exist without pain. So all my carefully fought and won pieces of myself and my mental health came crumbling and falling all around me. I can't ever go back to being that me and that's hard. It's one of the things that's taken me a decade to grieve and finally begin to accept. So now, I'm a broken 50 year old mom (with a VERY patient bf and son), who is trying to discover not only _how_ to be Me, but _who_ i can be... if anything more than a burden is possible Jesus, sorry that sounded so "wah poor me" lol. I just wanted to show how much this song hits me in the gut. Great reaction! Keep it up (and happy American Thanksgiving🦃🍗)

Hey it's Bill from the video. I'm glad you're still here. Keep fighting the good fight. Life can be overwhelming but people do care. I've had some terrible setbacks. I have POTS it's aweful I used to be like a super hero now I'm losing my memory and can't function on a daily basis and I have also known loss. It's aweful the things people deal with. Thanks for watching and keep kicking ass out there. Thank u for sharing as well. It's hard cause I know it feels like you are burdening people (at least I do) but believe you are not. Keep reaching out.

@z-manneversleeps900 thank you so much for responding so thoughtfully. I am surprised that my comment was readable lol Meds sometimes fog up the works, and the brain stops doing the thinky thing. Lol I know that being in that awful dark place is so helpless, and there's no way out that you can see. I know that ending things seems so selfish, and it is, but not in a way that they can help. It's such an alone place to be that you literally _can't_ think of anyone else. That's why I always say, reach out to your friends. The ones that go quiet or change drastically. The caretakers and the funny ones... quite often we are hiding our own pain with jokes or caring or both. Sometimes just remembering that there's someone who cares can light a candle in all that darkness and give them more chance of seeing another way. I'm a burden, I know I am. My bf had to cut up my dinner for me yesterday because my left hand doesn't work properly (damage buildup from hypermobility, plus arthritis, plus nonunited scaphoid fracture causing vascular necrosis, ligament tear and carpal tunnel impingement. And that's just my left freaking hand!!) He doesn't complain, usually, unless I'm being particularly whiny (it happens, bad days suck). I feel like I'm becoming more dead weight every day. I'm so sorry what you're going through, but I'm glad you're here. Just know that you are here for a reason. Probably lots more than one. One thing, even though I'm not important, I needed to hear your kind words. Thank you Please take care of you and, remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So fill your cup from time to time. Hang in there and, hey, if you ever need a non-judgmental, sympathetic ear, I'm around. Take care and I hope that you have a wonderful weekend 😊 🌻💜🌻

"I don't feel safe in my bed voices in my head talking to the dead. Fear and Sin follow me over the valleys and hills below; back home. It suffocates me...Wish I could get out of this tomb (Joe's own mind)" Ren wrote this from Joe's perspective in my opinion... You get to the end of the song and as Ren does so often he then breaks the 4th wall and says, "When HE gave up the fight, the decision he made stayed with me for the rest of my life. I miss you so." My suggestion, Ren - Seven Sins.

I've listened to it quite a few times now and I think Ren is speaking about both himself and Joe. We know Ren is very clever with double meanings, and I feel like a lot of this song could be describing his own grief or Joe's mental health. "I've been talking to the dead" could be a reference to something Joe experience, or Ren talking to Joe. "Do sad eyes blind me" could be a reference to Joe's depression, or Ren's sadness of losing his friend. I think this is an intentional clever use of language to have the song represent both of them.
@reactivereplays56669 ай бұрын
I have heard this at least 30 times now. I have had people make this argument. I cannot say you are wrong, as you said Ren is very clever. I just speak my truth until I hear differently from Ren or a very informed person that has heard it from Ren somewhere. Godspeed

There's another youtube video of Ren a & Chinchilla performing onstage that is more casual in its overall effect . ... so they've had some practice ... But I believe it was just a magic moment here ... THIS bridge they are performing on : ( The Menei suspension bridge that connects wales to the island of Anglesey ) / is the location for this video It was the bridge Ren's late friend JOE made that " decision late in the night " ... So , to me it's a sacred ritual performance ...

Rens sing titled adds context, thr last verse written a long time after the main song, following an interview with Knox Hill is "difficult". . Also ... Looks likevyou haven't reacted to "Hi Ren"? . Many consider it to be his "signature piece", i think it has saved lives. Long, but its a hard hitter for many. (Note.... No copyright strines on Ren songs)

Thank you 🙏❤ MillennialXReactions ❤ for your 🎸🧑🎤🧑🎤🌉 Ren X Chinchilla - How To Be Me (live) reaction! #ren #howtobeme #chinchilla According to either Ren or Chinchilla (can't remember who had the interview), this was take 2 and they left it at that. If you want to stay on Ren's un-alive-ing thread, the next song would be either Freckled Angel (old one, exists in studio and live quality) or Su¡c:de (a new one), then followed up by For Joe. Or leave that track and look into the Money Game trilogy or basically any other song by Ren. Murderer (Official Music Video) maybe. Or look for the fun Ren, with the Love Music quadrilogy or 1990s or Losing It! There are busking videos with Chinchilla & Ren on YT, and Ren has both another Chinchilla collaboration in the making and then also a whole album of new collaborations by artists who want to do some Hip Hop stuff with Ren.

Hi guys, just recently found your channel, very much enjoying your reactions and working my way through your Ren playlist. These two are just stunning together. There are a couple of live busking videos floating around, Ren convinced Chinchilla to join him, it was a first time busking for her. Not sure if you've heard, they are working on a couple of new tracks together as we speak (might be close to finishing) and we are all eagerly awaiting those to drop. Looking to forward to following you on your Ren journey, new sub. 👍

His friend Joe jumped off a bridge. Ren was running as fast as he could to the bridge, but was about five minutes too late. He has other songs dedicated to Joe as well. You should listen to Suic1d and For Joe.
@Codex77779 ай бұрын
Another masterpiece composition from Ren! :) Btw, if people have been talking about a song that's about Ren's best friend ending his life, they're usually talking about either 'Suicide' or a live recording he did called 'For Joe'. Sometimes they're referring to 'Frecled Angels', the title track from his first album. If you haven't heard any of those, they're all worth a listen! Suicide and For Joe are both quite dark but beautiful. For Joe manages to be uplifting at the same time. This track is about how Joe's suicide affected him, especially as it occurred at a time when his physical and mental health were collapsing. However, it's more ambiguous, until the ending lines , than those other songs. Joe is referenced more directly in them, which is why I think they may have been talking about one of them instead. :)
