This track is about a point in my life when I was ready to give up on myself, on my family, and on everyone and everything else around me. Specifically the day that I was going to commit suicide, but something stopped me. In that moment, I was alone, I was scared, and I was ready to just let go.. and a thought drifted into my head.. "what if there's something waiting for me... something really worth dying for.."
Music truly saved my life, and those that are closest to me know that. This song is not only a story about me, but a call to all the souls that feel unwanted, and wasted.. to all the people that feel they aren't good enough.. We all deal with these feelings, but it's important to remember that everyone of us has a purpose and it's up to US to find out what it is and to make something of ourselves.
I believe I've found my purpose, this is something worth dying for, and I'm so glad I have had the opportunity to make music and share it with my friends and with people I don't even know.. I never thought I'd be here.. but now that I am, I'll never trade it for anything in the world.
lyrics
Sitting here, staring out my window.. out at the trees, counting the leaves as they fall.
And hearing myself breathe puts me at ease..for now.
and my head's too heavy for my own two shoulders.
A glass filled to the rim, spilling all over.
And I'm still filling up.
Fed up and ready to give up..
I'm ready to give up.
I've been told a thousand times that it's just a part of growing up, it's all in my mind.
Well maybe that's so, but how was I supposed to know, if I was all alone at the lowest point of low.
I never lacked attention, I never asked for affection, but the constant drilling at my head to make no mistakes left me wishing for a fucking second of silence.
I remember that day, it was first sign of peace I'd had in months.
Four white walls closing in, my hands were shaking, my hope and heart were broken..
and for a second I thought, for just a second I thought..
"This could be so easy for me.. to just let go..to just be alone."
but what if, what if,maybe, there's something waiting for me.
Like a love or a dream, or anything REALLY worth dying for..
Imagine what I never would've known, if I never gave myself the chance to grow.
Imagine what I never would've known, if I never gave myself the chance to grow.
Catchy but heartfelt pop punk. I love it when bands can make their music as relatable as Real Friends do. You guys are awesome.
