You can tell that the singer is really putting his heart in to every word.

I'm new to this channel, and I think I want to stay.

this song brings back so many memories

Mark the register if u still here in 2021, Eden is the G.O.A.T.

Man, Eden basically created his own genre of music and perfected it.

I've got nothing but love for EDEN's music!

This is so nostalgic. Back in the day where Eden was my favorite artist. Coming back to his songs every now and then

Returning to this song now is like seeing an old friend :)

Good night to everyone EXCEPT the person that hurt this man.

You can really hear the pain in his voice...

Still coming back to this from time to time

"This place is right where you need to be" is an underappreciated lyric, and it hits me every time, even if it feels like it's only being said in passing. I mean, it's basically saying "This is as good as it gets, your dreams of going elsewhere are so much more hollow than you could imagine. You may feel empty, but this is where you belong."

The line "who says you're one in a million? You're so much better than that" gets me every time 😅

Why isn't this guy famous yet?

'Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm trying to run from our pride 'Til you set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the twenty-third Feeling six feet under When I'm 30, 000 feet in the air Chasing that sundown So far East, I'm Westbound Feeling like the edge of this world is near But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me? So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million Anyway? 'Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong And you keep sleeping through the PM Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You're sleepwalking, just keep talking And maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No B plan in your system Just tell me what you're thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not But you're not And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your makeup Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them When they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million You're so much better than that (Ohhhh) You're so much better than that (Ohh) (Ohhhh) You're so much better than that (Ohh) Stay, you're not what you were hearing (Ohh) 'Cause I've been watching you changing (Ohh) And who said you're one in a million (Ohh) Anyway? And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday Chasing dreams like I'm on novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say You're so much better than that

6 years later I named my son Eden and now I’m folding laundry listening to this with him.

that one moment when you miss the bae you never had

I love how his voice while singing has flaws. makes it that much more beautiful

Hey if your reading this, just remember that this pain is temporary and will not last forever, and while your going through it your not alone we are all in this together doing the best we can, I'm proud of you for still being here fighting everyday, cus it's really not easy but you still strong enough to not give up, know that I care about you and I'm glad your here, your feelings are valid and I believe you'll get to a better place with time. I hope this helps, you don't have to accept my comment or like it but I just did it for the people who needs it. Remember to drink water get some rest and check on your loved ones❤️.

I grew up to this, when i first broke up with my gf 7 or 8 years ago was heart broken and eden was all ive had , we’ve met again 2020 now we’re happily married since 29/07/2021 . Crazy how life could take different turns .

Lyrics for the people that want them :) Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm trynna run from our pride Till you step out of my atmosphere And I remember I would spend the 23rd Reeling six feet under When I'm 30,000 feet in the air Chasing that sundown So far east I'm westbound Feeling like the edge of this world is new But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million Anyway? Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong Keep sleeping through the P.M. Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You’re sleepwalking, just keep talking And maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No B plan in your system Just tell me what you're thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not (x2) And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your makeup Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them? And they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million You’re so much better than that (x3) Stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million anyway? And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say You're so much better than that.

i'm not one of those people who gets sad about everything but damn this hit me hard

Wow, 8 years since I discovered eden. He has genuinely positively impacted my life in ways I can’t explain

This song man, damn, almost 6 years and it still hits the same.

This song hit me harder then my mom's slap.

this song breaks my heart as hard as it was broken almost two years from now and still recovering. I just want to say.. Please, if you know you can cheat on someone and let them down someday, just don't even start it with them.. you might mean the world to them when you do. And they become homeless from the inside and lose their happiness for a very long time and it'll be hard to get their smile back. Please.

Recently, I've had trouble crying. Now, that might seem like a good thing to some people, but not me. I really miss crying my eyes out, I miss the feeling of having a runny nose, but not in the same way you feel it when you're sick. Well you know the feeling. It's gotten to the point where, I can't get a single tear out of my eyes. Even though you could classify me as a "Sad Person" which would be an understatement seeing as I have mayor depression disorder (and I'm also suicidal.. almost went through with it once). But I just haven't been able to cry... But, the first tear I shed in, maybe months, was when I listened to this song on full volume one night. While I didn't cry as much as I wanted to. I got something out, and that's all that matters in this story. I still can't cry, but I hope I can get there, someday soon..

came back to this song to fight the same demons i won 5 years ago.

[Lyrics] - 'Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm trying to run from our pride At least set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the 23rd Feeling six feet under when I'm 30, 000 feat in the air Chasing that sundown So far east I'm westbound Feeling like the edge of the world is near But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me So stay you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said youre one in a million anyway? 'Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong with you When you keep sleeping through the PM Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You're sleepwalking Just keep talking Maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No b plan in your system Just tell me what you'r thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not But you're not... And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your make up Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place some day Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them When they mean nothing to me So stay you're not what you're hearing Cos I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million? You're so much better than that You're so much better than that You're so much better than that Stay you're not what you're hearing Cos I've been watching you changing And who said youre one in a million Anyway? And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up everything and more when I get back some day Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say You are so much better than that.

honestly why aren't these songs more popular. i would rather listen to this than most mainstream pop artists

The “you’re so much better than that...” always makes me cry... I really dont know why, it just hits a spot and I cant stop the tears :(

I remember when MrSuicideSheep uploaded this video. This video was how I discovered Eden and he has been my favorite artist ever since. This song will always be #1!

Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm tryna run from our pride Till you set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the 23rd Feeling six feet under When I'm 30,000 feet in the air Chasing that sundown So far east I'm westbound Feeling like the edge of this world is near But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million Anyway? Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong When you keep sleeping through the PM Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You’re sleepwalking, just keep talking And maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No b plan in your system Just tell me what you're thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not [2x] And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your makeup Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them? When they mean nothing to me So stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million You’re so much better than that [3x] Stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million anyway? And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain Screaming through your airways Looking back I almost thought I heard you say You're so much better than that.

Listening to music like this when i'm feeling down is like punching myself in the face

It's been 6 years. 6 years since this song got realesed and I haven't made any progress since I've first heard this at 14

I found this song 6 years ago, still come back once every while 🧡

puts headphones on* sits on bed by window* puts hand on windshield* stares outside and acts like in a cheesy music video*

found this song when my boyfriend committed suicide a few years back. rediscovered it now that my friend passed away the same way, and within the same year lost my stepdad. that last part where the harshness of the song goes down, the "you're so much better than that", hits so hard. i find myself sharing this story with a lot of strangers on the internet because it's easier to confess to people you dont have to look in the eye. it's easier to just say that i cried while typing this than have someone see it. i know nobody gives a shit, im just some guy on the internet sharing some sad story just like everyone else.

I found this song 4-5 years ago, still come back once every while.

2021s ending and still I find my way back to this song whenever it seems like there's no hope left

*Lyrics [ From Genius ]* [Verse 1] 'Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long Out trying to run from our pride 'Till you set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the twenty-third Feeling six feet under When I'm thirty-thousand feet in the air Chasing that sundown So far east I'm westbound Feeling like the edge of this world is near [Pre-Chorus] But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say [Chorus] Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me? So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million, anyway? [Verse 2] 'Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision owns you And you can't see what's wrong When you keep sleeping through the PM Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You’re sleepwalking, just keep talking Maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No B-plan in your system Just tell me what you're thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not But you're not [Pre-Chorus] And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your makeup Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I could fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say [Chorus] Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me? So stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million? [Bridge] You’re so much better than that You’re so much better than that You’re so much better than that You’re so much better than that Stay, you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million anyway? [Outro] And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God, I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say: "You're so much better than that"

At 2:52 , you can hear hidden songs in the undertone of the song. It's starts with interlude, with the line "I've been trying to dig my way out of the ocean" and around the middle with nocturne with "I won't sleep no more." They both play until "you're so much better than that." Like if you hear the secret lyrics.

Ive been listening to your music for over 7 years now, this was one of the songs i loved the most back then, and every now and then i come back and listen again. I get the memories of my school time back, my first girlfriend etc. I literally tear up every time i hear this and i am so grateful for your music. Because of it i started trying to learn to sing and play the guitar. Thank you, you made me better

I’ve had two major heart breaks in my life…. I’m back here for the second time. Appreciate good music and people who have felt the same pain. 3 1/2 years of memories is hard to throw away but I hope she finds her peace.

EDENs community is my favorite

In April 2017 I knew Eden by this song. And I couldn't relate but I loved the feeling that music caused, I still do. After a while, around 2017/2018 the songs became real. I always listen to Eden, an artist who accompanied me in different phases and has been accompanying me, always the same songs. But never completely, sometimes I felt that when I died, they would remember me when listening to Eden, especially drugs, I think they still will. I no longer have the suicidal thoughts I used to, although some things have happened. I'm afraid that, in this new stage of my life, the part where he talks about the fall is really becoming real and maybe I'll lose the one I love. Maybe it's a hasty comment but seeing the way he (who I love) is acting, it's been killing me little by little and I can't say much. Maybe my happiness is always fleeting and not for me. But things will get better when I wake up. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or a week from now. But first I need to sleep. And sleeping has not been easy.

I wish I could go back in time. Not just for her, but for myself. I’m a failure, and she just highlighted it

.-. I think I have an addiction to Eden and The Eden Project songs..........

This song brings back the best and the worst memories. Thought I’d come back for a little nostalgia. Stay safe out there guys

2024? Been here since 2018😅

For me this song is all about depression, and coping with depression whilst being in a relationship. The lyrics "So stay, you're not what you're hearing Cause I've been watching you changing" are so powerful and a perfect metaphor for constantly hearing depressive thoughts in your head about not being good enough, and this can be for literally anything, so powerful and debilitating depression can be; but to the other, normal person in the relationship, it is clear that the depressed is getting better, or things were never even bad in the first place, but it never seems that way to the depressed, hence the repeats of "things are better in America" being just a metaphor for how the grass is always greener on the other side; as well as "the sun is always shining somewhere, I just gotta get there" meaning things always seem better at another time, another place, yet never here, and now. There is always something imperfect in the eyes of the depressed, a nagging shade dragging down their moods and they spend their lives trying to reach that special other place, where "the streets are made out of gold". This never happens though, because they cannot escape their minds. The constant need to escape, to hide, and disconnect from the world is perhaps the most damaging aspect that a depressed person brings to a relationship. "Stay, you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them? When they mean nothing to me?" This is from the point of view of the normal person in the relationship, who is bewildered by their partner's need to run and hide instead of dealing with their problems, but the disconnect between the two individuals' mindsets mean it is extremely difficult, if not impossible for the depressed to be understood. You don't truly understand how they feel unless you have been through it yourself. "Maybe I can fly you out this place someday" is the desire of the depressed to make things better for the both of them, to improve his/her condition so that it is no longer the thorn in the side; yet note how the line starts with the word "maybe", which is yet another sad reality that the depressed cannot ever promise anything, because they know, that at any time their condition will kick in, forcing them to abandon their plans, commitments and all responsibilities. This ties in perfectly with "And why your words gotta mean so much to them? When they mean nothing to me" that the words of a depressed man, mean absolutely nothing. Presenting a facade of reliability at the start "to them" is just that, something that will be dropped once the depressed gets to know someone well and is comfortable enough to drop their shields, exposing their ugly side beneath. A haunting, yet beautiful song in my opinion, with sad, meaningful lyrics which hide nothing. "And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to god I'll make up Everything or more when I get back someday" The relationship is doomed to failure, and perhaps should never have started. The song ends with the couple separated, with no hope of ever re conciliating. "Swear to god" and "Everything or more when I get back someday" is a bunch of empty promises, as the depressed has no idea when, or even if they will return. "Looking back I almost thought I heard you say You're so much better than that". The constant need for approval and encouragement that the depressed thirsts for drains the energies of those closest to them; in this case it is the normal person in the relationship. They started off with good intentions, helping the depressed in whatever way they can, endlessly and selflessly giving help and encouragement; but it's not enough, it's never enough. Eventually the patience of the normal person wears thin, and they mentally check out. They have their own problems to deal with, their own lives that does not simply revolve around that of the depressed. Notice how the depressed only ever says "I almost thought I heard you say", not "I heard you say". This confirms the above, that in the past, the normal person tried to help them, but in this last time of separation, they don't bother anymore.

This song is strangely comforting....even though the lyrics are heart-wrenching...EDEN is doing good work...may God give him a lot of Success...

7 years later it still gets me

It’s so weird to hear this now. Back when i used to watch FaZe and OpTic youtubers and playing BO2 like there was no tomorrow. I would do anything to go back to those days. This song makes me think of them.

EDEN: Things are better in America Narrator: Things, in fact, weren't better in America

'Cause we've been driving so long I can't remember how we got here Or how we survived so long I'm trying to run from our pride At least set fire to my atmosphere And I remember how I spent the 23rd Feeling six feet under when I'm 30, 000 feat in the air Chasing that sundown So far east I'm westbound Feeling like the edge of the world is near But you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up Everything and more when I get back someday This is more than just a phase, love Shooting stars all break up And even though it seems like half the world away Things will be better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place someday Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them And they mean nothing to me So stay you're not what you're hearing 'Cause I've been watching you changing And who said youre one in a million anyway? 'Cause you see only what you want to Your tunnel vision haunts you And you can't see what's wrong with you When you keep sleeping through the PM Eyes wide open when you're dreaming You're sleepwalking Just keep talking Maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end No b plan in your system Just tell me what you'r thinking I'm scared that you might fall But you're not But you're not... And you'll feel better when you wake up Taking off your make up Sun always seems to wash our fears away And it's always shining somewhere I just gotta get there And even though it seems like half the world away Things are better in America Heard the streets are gold there Maybe I can fly you out this place some day Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say Stay you're not gonna leave me This place is right where you need to be And why your words gotta mean so much to them When they mean nothing to me So stay you're not what you're hearing Cos I've been watching you changing And who said you're one in a million? You're so much better than that You're so much better than that You're so much better than that Stay you're not what you're hearing Cos I've been watching you changing And who said youre one in a million Anyway? And you'll feel better when you wake up Swear to God I'll make up everything and more when I get back some day Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine Screaming through your airwaves Looking back I almost thought I heard you say You are so much better than that.

Goosebumps then. Goosebumps now.

I remember listening to this religiously on a field trip to DC when I was in middle school, feeling absolutely miserable. I've graduated now with my first degree, working on my second, but listening to this again brings me right back to being that little boy, crying on the bus. It's such a weird emotion, remembering how I felt then so vividly, but being so different now, so much older. It feels like being a different person. Music is powerful in a way I just can't put into words.

she broke me and eden fixed me

Got my bottom set of wisdom teeth today. Said I'll be listening to music while I recover. The dentist asked me what kind of music I like, so I told him I listen mostly to a channel called MrSuicideSheep, and he laughed and high fived me and said he had just found your channel, and that he loves the music you post!.. That made me feel better about my teeth.

Listening after 4 years, still felt that feeling at 5 AM while talking with her.

I’ve listen to this song off and on for 6 whole years, and it still brings tears to my eyes man.

This is a very special song to me.

3:42 sounds like hes gonna cry..

haven’t come back to this in such a long time and I’m sad that I have - we’ll all get through this

This song speaks to my heart 💔

This song helped my friend with depression. Thanks Eden!

Swear to god I love this song.

Man, its been a long time since ive heard this song im glad to hear this song still is here after all these four years ago, when i first commented the lyrics, this song gives so much meaning.

find myself coming back to this song every time im teetering on the edge. makes me feel like someone cares whether ill wake up tomorrow

EDEN and Oh Wonder in one song would be amazing

These were the golden days

Words can’t describe how great Eden truly is. He helped me get through so much. To all The ones who found this song… I hope you know u didn’t find him. He found you. In a time where you probably didn’t know if you could make it through. Eden is out here doing gods work saving us one song at a time. Thank you for every masterpiece I’ve been lucky enough to hear. You’re a special talent and it’s very upsetting you haven’t shot into the stratosphere with how incredibly good and meaningful your music is. I think I speak for all of us when I say. Thank you EDEN ❤

EDEN, STEPHEN GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND COLLABORATE

Once you notice his gasps for air, you can’t unhear it.

I never drink, I'm not a drinker... Sometimes though when I'm feeling really bad I drink a lot more than anyone should to cope with what I'm going through, everyone has their demons. But my son's face stops me from ending it all, I know he needs me :) It's a selfish act on my part to end it. I need to be strong for my son... As weak as I am right now I just keep seeing his little face smiling and know that everyday when he wakes up daddy needs to be there to guide him and set him up for success... Dad loves you son! I swear I'll be there for you forever

I see it like this. A foreign couple, recently married. Live in a not-so-economically-advanced country in a small house. Two years into this relationship, the man has a dream to move to America. He wins a scholarship or whatever and gets enough money to move. He views their country as a 'dump' compared to America, and doesn't take pride in it at all. All his friends, his family, and even the neighbors congratulate him and tell him to do it. But the woman doesn't want to. Where he sees poor, filth, she sees culture, love, true smiles. Nothing fake, not like America. Take note, many foreign people (before President Trump), thought America was a country of freedom, or prosperity. That's why it has so many immigrants. They saw it as a safe haven. Small, late night fights start. In bed, he tells her, *"But you'll feel better when you wake up, swear to God I'll make up, everything and more when I get back someday."* He was saying that he was going to go, no matter what. He just couldn't bear the thought of leaving her. He was trying to persuade her to come, but she stood her ground and refused. *This is more than just a phase, Love. Shooting stars all break up.* He felt like they're love was cracking. In this context, he referred to his lover as 'Love'. He tries different tactics. *"And even though it seems like half the world away. Things will be better in America, heard the streets are gold there, maybe I can fly you out this place someday."* Once again, many foreign people used to think that America was a land of freedom, love, and fortune. That is not true. *Chasin' dreams like I'm on Novocaine. Screamin' through your airways.* He becomes so stressed, he starts doing drugs and taking alcohol just to clear his mind. On top of that, they start having debts, which piles onto even more stress. He does Novocaine, and chasing the dreams when he's passed out. This may also be a metaphor, where he's working so hard that he's gone impossibly crazy and stubborn wanting that one dream. I see it as both in the story. She fights back. *"Stay, you're not gonna leave me. This place is right where you need to be."* She says it with the understanding that he wasn't ever going to leave her. She doesn't see what was in America that they couldn't achieve in their home country. *"And why you're words gotta mean so much to them?"* She knows that he's worrying about his appearance. His scholarship/money is all the rage in that particular town. Everyone's talking about how if they got it, they would automatically leave. He keep reassuring them that he would go, he just needs time to 'set things up'. But if he denies, he would get looked down upon and possibly lose all his close friends. *"When they mean nothing to me."* She doesn't care about America, or money, or fame or fortune. She just wants him. And his words and promises are beginning to mean nothing to her. *"So stay, you're not what you're hearing. 'Cause I've been watching you changing. And who said you were one in a million, anyway?"* She can see him changing. And who said he was one in a million? She certainly didn't. *"Cause you see only what you want to, your tunnel vision haunts you. And you can't see what's wrong."* They both tell each other this, because they both are too stubborn to look beyond their own reasoning. *"I'm scared that you might fall . . ."* She's scared that he'll fall in America. He's scared that she'll fall by herself in their country. He brings it up again at a party. After it, they start yelling in the car, her screaming that no one was going anywhere but him yelling back that it's only reasonable that they get out of this 'wasteland'. She gets offended and gives him the silent treatment. *And you'll feel better when you wake up, takin' off your make-up, sun always seems to wash our fears away.* He thought, looking at her while she took off her mask. Mask meaning facade of happiness and perfection. *And it's always shining somewhere, I just gotta get there, even though it feels like half the world away.* He knows that opportunity is in America, and he needs to get there, even if it is half the world away. *"Things are better in America."* Note how he went from 'will be' to 'are'. Now he's confident in his decision. *"You're so much better than that."* She's crying when she turns away from him, saying that. She sleeps on the couch that night. Later, when he writes the song (Obv ofc it's not him, just for the story), he looks back and regrets his decision. *"Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say."* He left her. He left her to achieve a dream that wasn't ever going to be fulfilled without her consent. And he terribly regrets his decision. The first lines are what he wrote last. *"Cause we've been driving so long, I can't remember how we got here, or how we survived so long."* The 'drive' refers to their unconditional love for each other. He couldn't remember how they got to where they were now, separating ways as fate had chosen. Or how they survived each other for that long. *"I'm tryna run from our pride, till you stepped out of my atmosphere."* He talks about when he was still with her. Both of them were too proud to admit their own faults. And it wasn't until she "stepped out of his atmosphere", meaning she gave up on making him stay that he realized his decision was terrible.

Would you believe I cried a lot listening to this?

I hope Eden never stops making music. Going thru the biggest low of my life and somehow they help me hang on ❤

8 years and still amazing to listen. ❤

His voice brings them feels out though!! any of you agree?

You can hear the pain in his voice and thats the reason why i always come back here because this song is true. Bless

So happy to see that Eden makes strangers confess some deep stories I hope you all the best in life

ah, the golden days of mrsuicidesheep

Just lost my best friend.. this was our song.. ((:

This song ages like a fine wine

eden's music is great comfort when you are depressed. they were my companion a few years ago, when i was floating off into a dark hole. i'm not happy, but i'm doing better now, and i still feel fondness for his music. i'm glad and grateful that i had him when i had to drag myself out of the mental fog i was trapped in. i couldn't, and still struggle immensely to, confide in others when i went under, and in those moments of pure loneliness, music was the only thing that kept me going, kept my mood up, made me feel understood without needing to stumble over my words.

I love how Eden's songs always have abrupt endings. No music cue. No fade. Just the end. (Dem likes doh)

my favorite part is from 2:47 to 3:25. i just love the way he pronounces the word "say" in "looking back i almost thought i heard you say". i also love the way he gasps between "and why your words gotta mean so much to them" and "and they mean nothing to me" also the microphone like lyrics in the background♥♥♥♥ years passed and will pass, and this song will remain my best💜❤❤❤❤

How have I been listening to this song for 6 years...

She saved me & Eden remains our connection.~

His voice shows his feelings so beautiful...I realy like his voice..

My best friend recommended me this song last week, she passed away yesterday. I just can't stop crying when I hear this

This song will Never get old. ✋🏼😔

I don’t know why, but I just suddenly remembered this song. I honestly think I remembered it unconsciously in my dreams, so I went to hunt for it, not remembering anything aside from the background. Then I finally remembered the fact I first listened to it on SuicideSheeps channel; and hearing the melody kick into life, I suddenly had a hit of nostalgia hit me full force, and thinking back to when I first discovered this song and comparing it to now, I think, unconsciously, I wanted to make myself listen to this again and realize just how different to myself all that time ago. And honestly? I’ve come to realize just how much I’ve come to love myself finally; I am better then that. I’ve read all these comments below, and I realize just how many people really are in a similar fashion, and you need to know; you are better then that.

So, I was listening to "Wake Up" by Eden and paying close attention to the lyrics and I think I cought on to something. I think Wake Up is not about a lover but about Eden himself. One the most memorable quotes from the song is "why your words gotta mean so much to them, when they mean nothing to me". I think EDEN is talking about his song lyrics. He's talking about how confusing it is that his words can touch so many people and yet make him feel nothing. Another clue was that if you listen closely you can here "interlude" in the background during the chorus. Interlude is a personal song about his own struggles. He also talks about how he's been watching someone "changing". This is yet another clue because in vertigo he keeps telling himself that changing as a person isn't the same thing as losing yourself. I THINK WAKE UP IS A LOVE SONG TO HIMSELF, in the most beautiful way. btw i copy this in internet,this is the reason of the song.

this song makes me cry everytime I hear it

I love finding old hidden gems i never listened to before. This song is so good.
