What do you think of this song about a young person who decided to commit suicide?

[Julie4]

My dear parents, I'm leaving.
I love you, but I'm leaving.
You won't have a child anymore tonight.
I'm not running away. I'm flying.
Understand well, I'm flying.
No smoke, no alcohol,
I'm flying. I'm flying.

She watched me yesterday
Worried, troubled, my mother
As if she sensed it
In fact, she suspected
Heard it

I said I was fine
Appearing completely calm
She acted as if nothing happened
And my helpless father
Smiled

Not looking back
Moving away a bit more
There's another station in Gard
And finally the Atlantic

My dear parents, I'm leaving
I love you, but I'm leaving
You won't have children anymore
Tonight
I'm not running away, I'm flying

Understand well, I'm flying
No smoking, no alcohol
I'm flying, I'm flying

I wonder on my journey
If my parents suspect
That my tears have fallen
My promises and the desire to move forward

Just believing in my life
Everything that's promised to me
Why, where, and how
On this departing train
Every moment

It's strange, this cage
Blocking my chest
I can't breathe anymore
It's preventing me from singing

My dear parents, I'm leaving
I love you, but I'm leaving
You won't have children
Tonight..

I hope my translation is not too bad 😅

It is dark but uplifting. I'm a lonely introvert that spends much of time writing, and coming across dark music makes me feel not so alone. I started writing a book series last year, and in the first and second novels in the series, my gothic character, Violet suffered major depression. She commits suicide and meets a spiritual guide who sends her back to earth and tells her she must learn how to face her fears. Traveling through time, she and four others work as a team learning how to face fear.

I have horrible anxiety and social anxiety, and last year I was living with a narcissist, who poisoned me (Yeah, narcissists are dangerous people who don't care who they hurt). I had to get out of there, and for a while I was homeless, and I felt like giving up. My writing and novels, along with music is really the only thing I had. My family is all dead or moved away, and my friends all left me.

I understand now why life becomes too much for some people. I have so many fears myself, and one thing I've learned, it's hard to escape a world you don't understand. I feel a lot safer writing my novels. I can live in my own world and stay out of the ruthless one.

Are you sure the song is about suicide? The lyric goes "Just believing in my life
Everything that's promised to me"

It sounds like she is moving away to make her own life without her parents, as we must all do eventually.

But if I'm wrong it's still a beautiful song.

As an added bonus, here's another song that's apparently about suicide:

Well, yes, the song is about suicide. The author had to say it because he explained that no one had understood the song. 🤣

[AngryCarl2]

Well add me to the list I guess. lol

I don't think I could listen to it, considering the amount of times I had thought about suicide. I also self-harmed from 2007-2020. My best friend deals with bipolar and schizophrenia, and the few calls she made to me sobbing and talking about wanting to end herself. I talk to her for about two to three hours straight, and by the time we're done she feels tons better which is always a relief.

Another best friend of mine tried to commit suicide a couple years ago by pill overdose, but she was saved in time.

Reminds me of that song too by Good Charlotte called Hold On. The music video too showed actual people who lost those to suicide.

My most favorite band Linkin Park lost Chester Beddington to suicide a couple years ago. I hadn't listened to Linkin Park since then, until I heard their song Lost which was a previously unreleased track from Meteora. Hearing Chester again, made me immediately cry.

Anything dealing with it is just heartbreaking, especially when I've nearly been through it, and my best friends. Just the THOUGHT that I could have lost both of them gets me upset.

[Julie4]

I'm sorry to hear that you've been through such a difficult time. You have shown great courage and resilience in overcoming these trials. I'm glad you have friends who support you and count on you. You are not alone in this struggle.

I understand that music can be a source of comfort and remembrance, but also of sadness and pain. There's no shame in crying or expressing your emotions. It can help you heal and move on. Maybe you can also listen to songs that inspire hope and joy, like those by your favorite band Linkin Park. Here are a few examples of their lyrics that touch me personally:

“In the end, it doesn’t even matter / I had to fall to lose it all / But in the end, it doesn’t even matter / I’ve put my trust in you / Pushed as far as I can go / For all this, there’s only one thing you should know / I tried so hard and got so far / But in the end, it doesn’t even matter”

“I’m holding on / Why is everything so heavy? / Holding on / So much more than I can carry / I keep dragging around what’s bringing me down / If I just let go, I’d be set free / Holding on / Why is everything so heavy?”

“When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind”

These words remind me that life is full of challenges and suffering, but also of love and meaning. We need to let go of what weighs us down and hold on to what lifts us up. We need to be grateful for the people who love and support us.

I send you compassion and encouragement. You are a strong and precious person. You deserve happiness and peace. Never lose hope. 💖

Sounds beautiful! Kinda reminds me of an old post,

My Wounds. Cry for the Grave!

My Soul Cries, for Deliverance! ...

Will, I, be, denied! Christ! Tourniquet! My Suiciiide...

[molonski2]

Sure its dark , but I think a message that needs to be conveyed , as virtually everyone has been touched by suicide , so its time we started speaking openly about it..

[Julie4]

Yes 🤞

[Anonymous]

I think this video should be banned and no one should ever speak this girls name again like she never existed.

Now you probably think I'm being mean. But I'm not! This bulls*** romanticism suicide it's not cute nor should I be encouraged. Tell every kid thinking of suicide we will DELIBERATELY strike you from our memories.

[ohsheeT]

It's a heartbreaker and they're glorifying suicide from teenagers they need to f****** take it off the air

[inhua]

it shouldn't take a song for suicide to be taken more seriously by society instead of brushing them off as pathetic losers

[BigDog1989]

Republicans, especially white nationalists, will likely hate it

Hm, I wonder why, republicucks

[RavVid]

Very sad. Translation seems good.

[Anonymous]

Heartfelt lyrics. I like it.

[Julie4]
