Hey I see this is from a year ago….I have two daughters, and my father was kind enough to blow his brains out when I was a child, I am bipolar depressed anxiety just mentally unwell, and not once would I ever put my children through the same thing my dad put me through I know what it feels like to be in pain and not want to go on but harsh as this may sound. Get help good help and don’t do something that SELFISH. I hope your doing well now

Look into 'dark disney' some realise how most western controlled media is a WEAPON, R.R is a real artisan amongst nearly all contractually controlled media puppets..... Media/Medea means scheming & planning !? Learn latin and it goes much deeper still. Regards good one & all

The song itself it largely about how he’s been painted as a monster, a liar, cheater, non-believer by people. If you keep calling him these names, keep pushing and pushing, eventually you’ll get a self-fulfilling prophecy. The demons are not his thoughts but people and the one who calms him down is his daughter. In effect, she keeps him from acting on whatever urges he has to act out in violence. I know it says depression in the song, but dude has a lot more songs than just this one. Voices in my Head is good. Again, it’s largely about moving forward and letting go of your past which keeps your mind chained.

Well that sums it all up on another level! Wow! I hope people realize just how deep end meaningful your comment is!

Well said Brian, well said ♥

@@SongsandThongs I wasn't trying to come across as over simplifying if that is how my comment was received. My comment, while brief, is a response to your apology during the video of being emotional. It struck a chord in me in how we all as a society might feel the need to apologize for having feelings, especially those that overwhelm us. I find myself being overcome with emotion at times (especially when my mood swings, due to the Bipolar Type 2 I suffer from, are severe) and apologize to my partner. She reminds me to never apologize, that even though I am suffering, she is there to help.

We r human after all

Amen to that. Furthermore, science definitely backs it up : bottling up your emotions is the last thing you want to do. Emotions are signals, letting us know what is happening to us :)

This is so true!

Immediately hearing him say that I remember back in my really really REALLY bad depression and when I also was addicted to pain killers. I used to sit outside on my back porch away from everyone and dope sick up for days literally crawling around my room looking for any kind of pill I might had dropped or hadnt snorted yet. Cry my eyes out just wishing to feel "ok" or "normal" used to beg to god if he made me feel normal and not feel dope sick anymore again I would never use again a day in my life. Then I was charged with a recieving of stolen property when I sold a phone my mother in law gave me to sell while i was working in statesboro and she would give me a few roxys well the phone ended up being stolen and I was the face they had that sold the phone I was put on hail and forced for 5 days to just lay down and detox in a jail cell. Once I started feeling " normal" again finally I started hitting up a few of the guys i was locked up with and talking to them about their struggle of addiction although I was went to a 30 day program I think I learned more in the county jail then I would at any meeting or rehab. Program. Not bashing anyone that goes to rehab but I learned more speaking from people still living that lifestyle and was able to finally get everything together and get my medic license back. That was in 2016 and I'm forever grateful that i went through that expierence because it keeps me from going down that route again... it also helps me understand when we go to overdoses and or people who are dope sick and are just begging for any kind of relief. I'm getting way off track but it kills me when I hear a medic say "Oh they just want to get high again there back or whatever isn't hurting" when I know that they may not be in pain but they arent even looking for a high anymore They're looking for that fix just to feel normal for a few hours before their body eventually shuts back down and starts craving the drug again. At that pivotal point is where they are most dangerous. Either they'll try to get it legally somehow or go to the streets and get it illegally or they try something they've never done before. Which can cause an overdose or either they will do something very very dumb in order to get get that normal feeling not even a high again. Anyways the point is ronnie sums up our emotions for us so well and puts it into music although no one story is the same we do share a lot of similarities. More similarities then differences is what I've learned over the past 4 years of being clean and remaining clean. I'm only 26 and have a lot of life to live but that also means I have a very very long battle ahead of myself still too. Going from never even smoking weed to excessive opioid abuse back to living that "normal" life style again. Or well as normal as I can. Going 15 years without ever getting high not once in my life to using prescription drugs for 6 years. 6 might not seem A LOT but it was always strange how I could never remember what it was like to be sober. Wake up and not have to worry about well I'm not sick but I want to get high still. You forget what normal feels like and ronnie helps break those emotions down and put it on paper. but not in a way where you remember what it was like to get high but in a way that kinda scares you from wanting to travel that road again. I've rambled way too much but Ronnie truly is a life saver is basically what you can get out of my essay if you got bored and skipped to the bottom.

Josh Lanier you said it.. it really is weird how you can’t remember what it’s like being sober and like you almost don’t wanna remember cuz life without drugs(black for me) is just too hard to picture at those moments

For me it is rage!!

Just to feel "ok" is such a struggle that SO MANY will NEVER know

We are sitting here reading your comment through our tears. We created this video without any planning at all and really just hoped that our story and experience with this matter would take over and we said from the beginning that if by some miracle we could manage to touch even one life it would all be worth it. We have been fighting this fight for over a decade and that fight brought us to this point. Our story is not done and we want you to know that YOUR story is not done either. One day someone might need you in order to make it through this same thing, so please stay strong. And reach out to us if ever you need to talk about it. We are here for you. 🙏

Thank you for being strong! I don't know you, but, I'm proud of you, for you. I know its hard.

You could literally stop any stranger on the street and just say I need to talk too somebody! Not a one of them will turn from you. There are so many people that need to just speak. Speak to someone anyone! If you came across me I would listen. Stay strong and know you're never alone just speak. Humanity is not lost and still very much exists.

hey man. how are you now?

Hey soldiers inc, you still there????

yes exactly what i thought about that part. so touching

That's Roonie daughter actually,him adore her,she is his light❤️

Willow made Ronnie face reality. He has said she saves him.

Flip that cross right side up before you let people know about the light. Mr. Dead, did you know that the wage of death is sin? The biggest sin is not knowing christ. I see the heart in your message, and the light. Just make sure you give yourself to Jesus. Dont let Satan have a grasp on your soul. Don't let any graven image be a part of your life. I only say this because your heart is in the right place. I want to see you in heaven. My name is Chase. Please approach me in heaven with a big hug brother, please let me know you're OK when we meet in the world we are meant to be in ❤ hell isn't a place of suffering. Its an end of you're existence at the final judgment. Life everlasting ends with putting on the Armour of God. That Armour is living a life Jesus knows you tried to live in his word. I just wanted you to know. ❤

MOST DEFINITELY!

Yeah. We all wish the best. As with any illness, you win some & you lose some. Wishing the best to all. Much love!

I have the appreciation for this song, it really started my journey to get help and to realize I’m not alone in this battle

Thanks for the comment! He gave it a very quick watch, but couldn't handle the piano music I put in the background after filming, so stopped watching almost immediately. He he.

Thanks so much for sharing, love this and so happy for you. Stay blessed and sending you lots of love from South Africa

I second that! Great reaction!

3rd that

Wow, thank you so much!

Yea, out of all the reactions this is the first (that i've seen) that breaks down the actual song, instead of just rocking out. Ronnie would love this i'm sure.

@@Loozinitizoffhismedz You should check out @thethirdearnest he does a really great job breaking down songs too

This song has truly become one of the most meaningful and important songs in our lives! We have had SOOOO many people get in contact with us after this video and our friendships have grown because this helped us to get to know some friends on a new level. We are ever grateful for this song's existence!

Same... it's a never ending battle

Been through this twice so far, first time lasted so long I thought I wouldn't survive. And as crazy as it sounds getting medical help actually changed things. Kinda still going through it right now to be honest but pills and music help a lot. So don't give up and if you didn't see a doctor about it already do. But if you did and nothing changed then try another doctor with a new plan, sometimes getting the chemical balance right takes time because the drugs that were prescribed aren't always the right ones.

It is only our pleasure. It was quite tough to get through, but it is really necessary.

i think he did 🤔 but maybe i'm wrong. Can't find the video of it. But i've actually seen the video even before i was here. And i thought it was Ronnie reacting to it

yes, He does have a reaction video this song was all about him and the rough times and depression he has went through and may still be going through! Ive watch around about 15 of these videos of people reaction to this song and tbh its bc the song i cant stop watching and listening to the lyrics bc i surfer from a low case of depression and alot of it is probably b.c i have only seen my son 3 times this year and it is slowing breaking me I relate very well with the "Falling inlove with falling apart" B.c im so used to falling apart due to stuff that im going threw this song is a master piece and i love it! this song deff deserve the highest reword!

Oh boo fucking hoo a big youtuber becomes depressed everyone feels sorry for them but if it anyone else no one cares

@@xLatinAssazzin you mad bro?

Wow, Thank you so much for your awesome comment! We absolutely love that piano version. Thanks for the love! :)

Also im not a Vampire revamped is phenomenal

You totally get it. Thank you and it is only a pleasure.

Thanks for letting us know. One can truly "feel" his pain and rage etc in this song! Our minds are blown!

@JadeBrooker, we are so so sorry to hear about your fiancé 😥😭 Can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through at the moment. Our hearts are sad with you💔 Take the time you need to grief, and just know that there are 2 people in South Africa that are thinking about you and praying for you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way 🥰🤗

Thank you so much! If we could touch only one life with our story it would all be worth it!

Thank you so much for the positive comment. We hope to keep creating good content as much as possible. :)

This absolutely breaks our hearts to hear! Wish we could do more, but we are praying for you and thinking of you. Ps. Losing family members to suicide is nothing new to us, so we know how hard it can be. Love and hugs from us!

@@SongsandThongs Today is exactly 1 year since he passed. Of all days he did it on Halloween. I'm in Australia so it's not as big here but we did the house up last year and 8 pm came around and I got the phone call. So now halloween is a permanent reminder and it will never be the same. I thought it was a joke he was pulling but it wasn't.

😢😢😢 This is really so sad and we are so sorry to hear. Thinking of you! Love and hugs from us! 💖

Wow! Thank you so much for letting us know! That is amazing!

He did prison in like 2008. She was born some time after his release like 2012/13

This comment is EPIC! Thank you so much!

This comment. I'm crying 😭😭😭

Wow, thank you so much for that comment. We truly appreciate it. We truly hope that it can help people that struggle with this horrible condition. It is amazing how a metal type song can be the thing that pulls us together.

Thanks for the comment! That would be quite something! But man, A Massive thank you to the band for blessing the world with this song!

Aweh Johan! We will definitely give them a listen. Thanks.

Thank you so very much! Your comment means so much!

Thank you

💚

Thanks for telling us about the song. It is only a pleasure. We can only hope to help people realize what this disease is and just how bad it is!

Please accept our digital hug!

Thank you so much. This song really hit us hard indeed. Music has a way of saving lives, so we are really glad you found them! :)

There's a whole lot more that I wish I could say personally, but I'm not exactly there yet... but one thing I want say to to anyone in this battle, and it's something I remind myself often. *You are not alone* Don't give up on hope, it can get better.

You should try to talk with a professional. I went through 2 depression, the first one I was lucky to heal by myself, but the second one was so much harder. I'm the kind of person that always sacrifice myself to make other people happy, never opening myself, always thinking i couldnt talk to anyone. And I was lucky enough to find the angel that saved my life. Went to her office for 9 sessions, it didn't fix me immediately, but at least i realised that people around, truly want to see me happy, and to accept stuff from my past. It is fuckin scary, like i was shitting myself the first time i had to go there...but it really save my life. What you're going through is freakin hard, but you are still there walking those road, fighting against this darkness, give yourself the tools to succes you can do it!

Totally get where you are coming from. When I had depression the 2nd time I didn't want my family to know, so only Harry knew about it. It is important to talk about it though and to get help. I didn't think it will work but it did and I'm grateful to be here today to be able to share my story with others. Sending big hug and love from South Africa. Thinking of you. Stay safe and be blessed

Hey there, you don't know me and I don't know you. I read everything you said and I just want to see that you don't have to be alone. Millions of people are out there who have fought through these feelings and have been able to reconcile or even conquer these feelings.

Thank you so much for sharing. It breaks our hearts knowing that you are in this state at the moment! You summed it all up so well, so we can't even add much more, but we will say that there is hope, even if you don't see or believe it at this stage. We believe it and we trust that you will continue staying strong and fighting to get healthy.

Honestly it feels like I wrote this comment, the only difference is I'm 38 and have felt this way for over half my life. I will figure it out, eventually.

Stay strong.

Thank you so much for the amazing comment! We will definitely check those out!

You okay, mate?

Blue October great too, yes

Thank you so much. Thank you for the recommendation as well. We've added it to our list 🙂
