I LOVE DEADJRRK! THANK YOU SO MUCH

To the person listening to this 25 years later. This guy was a legend.

"The devil doesn't approach you with red horns and a tail, he comes to you disguised as everything you ever wanted"

Every real X fan comes here from time to time to relive those days. What a time it was then

Was 17 when this came out. Was going through severe addiction, lost loved ones back to back, attempted and failed suicide, completely lost. This song, I always went to it. When I was cold and shaking, wrapping up in a jacket, played this. Sober, trying to fight withdrawal. Played this. Coming to grips with losing people, played this. And all these years have gone by, I won’t lie, I’m not in a good place, but I’m far from where I used to be, but I’m always here, playing this song.

I come back here every once in a while.

I used to listen to this when I was all alone, when I was at the end of my rope, when nothing could fill the empty I felt inside. I'm still healing, and this is a good reminder of how far I've truly come since then.

I found X's music when I was 15 in my sophomore year of highschool. I am now 20 years old and going to college. I never imagined how much of an impact he would of had on the music industry and on me. Like many others X saved me when I was in a dark place and he offered a sense of comfort in his music. I will never forget the life long impression you have made R.I.P Jah.

One of the deepest pains is watching everyone around you move on while you are stuck wishing you were in the past.

“We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, but to create something that will.”

So nostalgic. Listening to x before he blew up felt different, still great after but his older stuff, 17 and back is amazing. I feel bad for anyone who didnt experience it, but im glad he’ll never be forgotten because of unique music like this and legendary fan edits like this one

Damn bro, I miss being 16 going on 17 in 11th grade. This song, hell even other SoundCloud rappers and some of their music, was a big staple of life. And I didn’t notice it, but those were a few good golden years, even with all the hardship I faced. And now, I can tell those days, even something to compare, will never come back. I’m 24 now. Those years will always mean something, these artists will always mean something. And so will their songs. Can’t tell you how many times this song really helped, and when he dropped 17 is was literally a few days before my 18th birthday, and possibly one of the most fucked up times of my life. R.I.P King

“don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon” - Paul George/Paul Brandt

"Being alone really makes you realize all you got is yourself" - XXXTENTACION

This song was a secret message, let me fill you in. The title, "I spoke to the devil in Miami, and he said everything would be fine" is literal. Miami is where X sold his soul to Satan for fame and fortune, when he was 17 (hence his albums name). I will now go into my take on this songs lyrical breakdown. (one thing to note is that he is telling a chronological story of the "conversation" he has with Satan) Intro - "It will all be over soon" ---- X was aware that his death was going to be very soon Verse - "I'm always where the sun dont shine, the tears dont show, wont hurt me now 'cause hearts been broke, i hate myself, but it wont show, i constantly lose all my remorse" ---- he starts off by telling us that before he sold his soul, he was very depressed Verse - "And its ten for the wolf, and three for the shepherd" --- in this analogy Satan is the wolf while X is the shepherd. If you arent familiar with this story, a wolf once stayed by a flock of sheep led by a shepherd for a long time, but never did anything to the sheep. One day, the shepherd left his flock with the wolf, for he trusted the wolf. When the shepherd came back to his flock, they were all dead. Through the wolf's cunning, he deceived the shepherd. Satan deceived X into selling his soul for fame and fortune, but in the end, Satan won the trade. Verse - "and it's one for the sheep who Led by your leopard, often gave his perception as a Handle of weapon, took a bite of your apple, give me All you can offer" ---- In this analogy, X is the sheep, while Satan (or one of his demons) is the leopard. Satan used his PERCEPTION (satan is a master deceiver) to deceive X into TAKING A BITE OF HIS APPLE (or selling his soul), in exchange for all Satan could offer X (fame and fortune) Verse - "now I'm trapped in a changing maze Setting my soul ablaze, couldn't control the pace Where is this going?" ---- Since trading his soul to the devil, X is no longer himself, now all he can do is ask himself the question "Where do 'I' go from here?" Verse - "Heartless is recklessness" ---- Remember earlier in the song when X said his heart was broke? Well, because he was heartless, he did not care about anything and was reckless because of it, which led to him selling his soul to the devil. Verse - " it's War with the pacifist to word of a masochist, I'm Off of the map," ----- X doesn't know whether to side with God or Satan, so for the time being he chooses neither. Verse - " my Lord, I spoke to a Baphomet, he Said he would save me if I gave him one thing you needed "What is this thing?", I pleaded boy, it's the key to even, yeah" ---- Satan tells X what he wants from him, Jahsey Onfroy's Key To Heaven.... his soul. Verse - "And as I spoke, my fangs were shown Taken aback, he smiles and tells me "What you crave will soon be yours But what I crave is already mine" Anima vestra Anima Anima vestra Anima" ---- By this point in the song the deal has been made, X sold his soul to Satan. Satan tells X that soon enough he will receive the fame and fortune he craved, but what SATAN craved, he already has, Anima Vestra. (anima vestra means YOUR SOUL).

I always lose myself in this song. Everything fades and it’s just Xs words and it’s deep, crazy what he was able to do with music 🖤

"I didnt realise we were making memories, I thought we were just having fun" -Winnie the Pooh

If anyone is curious this movie/show is called “The Garden of Words”

I’ll never forget when I first heard X back in 2016. I had this blasting in my room late at night and my mom came in and wondered what that weird music was coming from my mom. I told her Idk but I like it. That is the exact notion of all the axis music that unknown temptation of his music is so alluring. I found myself listening to all his songs in the matter of a few days and I was instantly hooked and I didn’t even know what he looks like. All I can remember is how unique you sound was and how good it made me feel to listen to somebody that actually was talking about something so real. Man if he was still around I would feel spoiled I couldn’t even describe the gratitude I would have. R.I.P never forgetten

Bro let out a fat one in the studio at 0:11 😭😭😭

5 years later and I'm still listening to this masterpiece, miss you X🕊️

Every time my life falls apart I come back to video and this song. It’s such a comfort to me. Miss you X

March 2021 gang checking in. This is the first song I ever heard of and listened to from X back in 2016 at 6:30am in the morning when I couldn’t sleep.

Crazy how influential this video was for my life. X was one of the first artists i listened to like on my own and really helped me form my taste and love for music and the visuals from the garden of words encouraged me to watch it, and it has since become my favorite movie ever. Thank you

Today he turn to 23, You still alive in our heart.

To anyone listening to this at any time not knowing or knowing who this guy was, he was a true legend and he helped so many people. To anyone seeing this just know that you are wanted and loved even if you are going through tough times

I remember listening to X when I was in middle school, I remember liking all his music. I graduated last month and I still come back to listen to his music

7 yrs later this still one of the best mv and one of the deepest song ever

2023 and still remembering the art this man made his music was just incredible and what was done to him speaks a thousand evils in this world if you are watching X continue to watch over us bless us with your wisdom that you let shine through these songs you've made for us the people.

this dropped when I was still in school nothing has changed

I was 16 when I first listened to X's music. I became a fan of him a few weeks before he died. And by listening to X I also discovered Peep and both of them are really important to me because with their music they helped me through some really bad times. I'm turning 21 this year and their music still helps a lot. I wish they hadn't died...

"I like being alone,but I hate being lonely"

i listen to this everyday after work.. working back from the office it just gives me this feeling

Justice was served 🖤 thank you thank you Jah. I love you. For everything, Your outlook Positivity heart and your art This is a masterpiece I hope I see this when I find it again in 10,20,30 years. Timeless beauty 🤓

This hit different when u really ain’t got no friends no one to turn to talk to or family for u

every now and then, i come back to this track when i‘m at my worst

All of us were young and we said that we wanted to grow up and have a good future. Here we are wishing we were in the past, still thinking about it. Everyone has to eventually move on from something in life and some day, we lose our loved ones. RIP x.

You will never be forgotten X, thank you for sharing your passion with us. Rest in piece.

haven't come back to this in years. incredible song...

This is a master peice, we all come here from time to time to listen to this such a deep song

Still not a day passes by where I don't listen to you, X.

5 years today, half a decade. come back to this song all the time. a thunderstorm outside couldnt be more fitting. rest in fucking power jahseh.

x's story telling was insane i always admired him because of that and if im honest these type of songs are trully the best ones from him i dont listen to him a lot anymore but when i do it always gets me in feels

First time I heard this I was 17. Now I’m 22 and it STILL hits with a punch. Even got a tattoo to show how X helped me.

His softer music is so comforting. The energy just hits for some reason.

Remember listening to this in my darkest darkest times and looking back on this song gives so much memories and makes me realize what all I went through

to anybody listening to this 10 20 or 30 years later x was a legend rip x #LLJ

*I remember listening to this song on repeat 4 years back, I miss 2017 so much*

Breaks my heart every time i listen to this… LLJ 🕊️🙏🏽

I kinda drifted away from listening to x I remember back in 2017 a buddy of mine showed me his SoundCloud stuff and it was fire as fuck. Nothing but anger and arrogance Then he came out with 17 lowkey something I didn’t kno I needed, helped me through a rough stage in my life. Got out of the mental institution I was in and heard this for the first time. Hit me like a brick the soft and catchy melody, The words, the emotions mainly. Happy this exists hope more find this song

Damn 5yrs ago I was 22 & on my first deployment. X still helping me thru tough times as a vet whose lost his way. Semper. RiP

Take me back to the day i first listened to this song, X was still alive, i was still playing bo2 the good old days. ugh i miss him and those days sm

3 years from his death, and he still live in everyone’s heart

My uncle showed my this song and edit late 2017 and it amazing me how someone could incorporate this topic in a song but also not make the song point it out like you have to listen to the lyrics and understand the meaning. And it still amazes me. When my uncle passed I put this song on a reminisce when he first showed me this master peace. Rip xxx and rip uncle

The instrumentals to this song literally shakes my soul. I still shed a tear atleast once a day for Jah…his music was literal therapy to me. I could only imagine what epic sounds he would be sharing with us. He was too good for this evil ugly and sick world. Long Live Jahseh

This song is one of the biggest reasons I kept moving, I would not be here without this song, shouting my thought out, helping the people notice the signs, that I wouldnt he here much longer, I got the help I needed Im still healing, I will till the day I lay my head to rest for the last time. Goodbye everyone, this may be the last time we ever communicate, big world out there, scary one, but lets make X's legacy stay here, never dead, because he lives within our souls.

A lil more than 4 years since I discovered this masterpiece. Will be Forever grateful to your craft , X.

“Nah bro I’m fine I’m just tired”

I miss you so much x. Some will never understand your legacy, but the rest will forever be changed by your music. Long live xxx

i was 10 years old when i heard this im 16 now life still goes on sad u couldn’t see the good and amazing things going on right now in the world wish u could make one more album for the things happening but most im sad i never got to meet u jahseh i know everything about ur upbringing all up to ur end much love from a xxxtentacles supporter

I just came back, 7 years later. The memories flooded back. I feel better. ❤️‍🩹 I’ve grown so much from when I first heard this song but it still hits me like I’m hearing it for the first time. “What you crave will soon be yours… what I crave is already mine.” Crazy how the times change. 💕 I hope you all are doing good

U will never see bad atmosphere under Jah music . So beautifull to be a part of his Energy forever

Discovered x when I was 21 , 27 . I always used his music to get me through my darkest times , during that time I lost my father and brother , countless friends to violence and drugs…. go to court next week I’m facing like 5 years might do 3 god willing , just left a 3 year relationship. I haven’t shed a tear in years and now looking back at everything and looking ahead listening to this song I broke down but the thing about his music is , it’s like he’s sitting there with you telling you “it’s ok I understand your pain you’re not alone” . I never confide in anyone during everything I’ve been through been on my own for a while now and his music is like life being breathed back into me during times like these

For anyone wondering the anime in the background is called “The Garden Of Words” it’s a movie.

this man was a living legend. i would give anything to have him back. he was truly

I remember the day I listened to this! It was raining out. Just lost my girl. Sad af. Felt horrible but I’d gladly do it several time, just for x to make some more of this!

here 5 years later and its still at the top of my playlist

Coming back every now nd then since I first heard this 4years ago.. still hits..

I will never forget X. I will never forget the only artist able to make me feel he understands me. I will never stop listening to you, Jahseh Onfroy. I will always remember you.

I first heard this when I was 16 I’m 20 now and it still hits the same X saved my life!!!

I found X was I was 13 and he helped me thru a lot of everything I was going thru now I stop by to get peace long live the realest may u rest easy 💞🙏🏽

Xxx is my inspiration. The true healer of all my problems. I’ve tired suicide multiple times & i always listen to his music to keep me going. You’re a legend, a God among men. You’re the greatest ever in my heart and in my life. Drop EP’s in heaven for me to listen to when i get there X🖤

Bro the open to this instrumental was like opening a crips bagg of memories the bitter sweet ones I reflect on of my joy and depression those rainy nights alone in my adolescents 😔

This song always comes back it’s always going to be there for you when your at your lowest, you got this we all believe in you 🖤

jumping back to this in 2023, 6 years 44M views, songs finally releasing fr in 2 days..... how things have changed

Found X when I was 15 and going through some tough shit and his music helped me. Idk how but it did and I’m 20 now. Sometimes I go back and listen to him when I’m down and it just helps. It’s like it kinda numbs me.

2022 and still the most underrated X song.

God how many years has it been wish i could go back to 2016 when me and my brother found his songs

So young yet so wise. he could have changed the world, even outside the music industry. Rest in Peace. Everytime I play one of his songs I get goosebumps and hope he (whereaver he is) sees there are still many loyal fans. Cant replace this versitility and talent ever. Juice was the better freestyler okay but these guys even including Lil peep literally helped me through my teenage years growing up without a dad and they just formulated what was on my mind. So sad to see 3 (potential) GOATS die so early. They deserved more time on this planet.

His music was a special kind of music, the kind that speaks to your soul ❤️ RIP X I saw a shooting star last night while I listened to this song

i remember watching this with my older brother at like 3 am years ago we were both just some sad fools listening to x but this song numbed the pain

I feel so bad that kids never got to experience x when he was alive and i feel bad for everyone because his life was cut so short and was such a big influence to this generation

Hey person scrolling through the comments right now, you'll probably never see me ever again because I'm only 1 of the billions people out there, but all I wanted to say was, I hope you have a wonderful day. Don't let anyone or anything bring you down. You're special in your own way and don't let anyone or anything take the feeling of being special away from you. Love

One of the most underappreciated talents. You will be missed ❤

One of my favorite song. It’s sad to tell it, but when you are alone and sad it feels good.

"People are being hated for being REAL and loved for being FAKE" ~Humanity

for some reason his song brings me nostalgia from years ago, would like one day to repair all the mistakes I had and how bad I was at some point...

Jah I wish you would've said no to satan.....may God have mercy on your Soul 😓😪

The Most Beautiful Animation Edit I Have ever Seen, Reminds Me All The way Back From Age Two and a Half, To about everything in Between Up Until 18. I Always Reflect Onto My life with this song , During good weather with some dense clouds Like lightnigng Clouds Beween Oregon and Washington.

Thank you for making this song x 💯

I come back to this a few times a year and just reflect on everything. Such a poetic song and such a shame he died. Really makes me thankful for life. To anyone who reads this, you are wanted and loved. #LLJ

Found x when I was 18 he wasn’t as big as he was now like everyone only knew him from look at me bruh it’s like his music grows with you I’m 25 now and listen to this every so often he’s like a friend that you lost tragically and his music makes u feel like he’s still here with yoy

I was 12 years old when i first ever heard this, I am now 18 years old and it still be hitting the same.

A bit strange to listen to this song in 2023 when it was 2017 I listen this song while I was sad for people who are no longer in my life since.

Heard and saw this edit video at about 15, 21 now. Song is still hitting like it used to, he was a genius amongst our time.

First heard x when I was 15 and since then he has remained my favorite artist of all time. His music helped me so much. I’m 21 now

the edit made this song 7000x more beautiful 💕💕

R.I.P Lil Peep R.I.P Xxxtentacion R.I.P Mac Miller These past few months have been hard times in the music industry

Crazy I first listened to bro when I was 12 now I’m 19 time flies fr

I just released an instrumental inspired by this on my channel called “I wonder if the devil cries”. I wanted to make something for all those inspired by this here song. Thank you.
