I miss him everyday and only want him to be happy. But I'm keeping my distance, my dad always pressed me hard, but the slightest criticism I have of my son it backfires and he does something worse, so I am laying low until he can figure it out himself.

I found this song last week, and that single line 'it's not painless' has been something that helped a lot this weekend. Even if you make it painless on your end by taking pills or something, it will never be painless for the people in your life. I've listened to this song probably 50+ times in the past week.

This is one of those songs that a lot of people would probably dance to without actually listening to the lyrics.

Saw them last night after a 12 hours work shift at Best Kept Secret Festival. I was high on tiredness. Then they asked the audience to turn on the flashlights on their phones. It was almost magical.

A lot of men are in the comments section relating to the lyrics despite women primarily being mentioned. I have such a negative brain that I'm quick to assume everyone is hating men all the time but if that was a genuine shout out to men who have been assaulted I'm very grateful for them highlighting it.

"Some girls hate their bodies. Stare in the mirror and wait for the feedback." This hits hard. I hate my body, I've tried for years to love it, but I'm not sure how.

I already posted about this a long time ago but I attempted suicide a week before this song came out, it sort of saved my life after I got out of the psych ward. The reason I'm reposting is, I think what a lot of people might not see about the genius of this song is it both empathizes the perspective of a suicidal kid while also begging them to stop because no matter how you do it, it isn’t going to be good, you are going to hurt yourself and everyone around you. Most songs about suicide are either one side or the other, a depressing song from the perspective of a suicidal person or a song saying how much better it is to live which, no matter how well meaning, will never reach someone who is deep in that hole, trust me I know. This song is fucking genius and can genuinely save lives. Its an anthem for those in the deepest darkest trenches of their minds. Its a millennial anthem for kids trying to survive under the rule of an American dictator while adults around them continually tell them to just grow up and live with it. Its a song with empathy that tells them that yes we, the youngest generation, and we the people surviving day to day with serious mental disorders will make it. It won’t be easy but it will be worth it, because the alternative, the creature comfort of suicide that constantly idles in the back of our minds, tempting us every time life gets hard is a lie, it is never painless.

Richard Reed Parry's choreography: I could drink it in all day.

This song perfectly encapsulates the human condition. We exist as a society in a state of shock and misery, yearning for a sense of purpose and for others attention. Yet it does not come because we want the process to be painless. So we indulge ourselves in the creature comforts like Television, Media, fatty foods, drugs and alcohol. Anything that helps us forget how hard and painful the process of living is. THERE IS A LESSON TO BE LEARNED HERE, what we need to do, is actually celebrate our pain and focus on what we do actually want, for hidden within pain, is purpose and fufillment.

Yes, but you are missing a point. He is asking for 1 of 2 options. You explained the 2nd option. The first option is when he asks God make him famous. In our society, some people think that if they would be “famous and rich” they’d be able to have everything they want, all of their problems would disappear, and they would live happily ever after (which is wrong because our happiness cannot be solved by something external. We need to solve it internally). These people are result oriented, wanting a result or a destination to appear magically without putting the hard work and making the journey. And, if it is not given to him easily and he as to work hard, then, at least, he wants it to be painless. I agree with the message/lesson/conclusion you’ve given. We need to cherish the journey, the hard work, and the pain. There will be ups and downs. And sometimes we learn more from our failures than from our successes.

Brilliant song. Its both sad to hear, and reassuring telling people who feel this way someone understands. In the end they are "born in a diamond mine" and can't even see it. I hope anyone that hears their own feelings in this song, realize they were born in a diamond mine as well. Now is not the only time. And what you feel right now will not be the only feeling.

I first heard this song soon after it was released. I was driving back from the hospital where we had just turned off my Mother in law’s life support. I wanted out of my head so turned the radio up as loud as it would go. Somehow it sounded like she was talking to me through this song. She had drank herself to death. The final words of the song “it’s not painless, she was a friend of mine” still makes my eyes water a bit even to this day. She may have been an alcoholic, imperfect person, but she was kind. And more importantly she was a friend of mine.

I used to love this song, but I didn't quite know why. As my even keeled pastor today mentioned that "he thinks about death all the time" this song came to mind. I have always deeply resonated with those who focus on the "why?", who want to understand their purpose. I often felt alone in this pursuit. Matthew 5:3 Jesus says: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Our hearts are crying out for understanding and purpose and although it is a tough journey we must seek God to be filled with the Spirit we desire.

Arcade Fire has tapped into such a juxtaposition of happy dance music and deep post-modern lyricism; a walking contradiction, the contradiction that is our lives. "God make me famous, if you can just make it painless" The truth is , "it's not painless."

For me the music here is top-notch (not really classic Arcade Fire style, but brilliantly executed and arranged as always) but the lyrics? I don't want to use the popular word "cringy" but come on - the whole first verse and the chorus? What is this? I'm not addressing the topic itself, because whilst being a bit cliche and not really interesting for me, it is presented in the bluntest way possible. Call it post-modern, I call it lazy writing. The simplicity does not have any function here that would justify it. I've noticed the same thing on "Everything Now", but it wasn't as off-putting as it is here.

@jordanmayer5932

Jakub Morawski really man, the lyrics are beautiful metaphors, and it's riddled with them, especially at the end when stating 'you were born in a diamond mine' in the last part of the song... this song has really struck a chord with me lyrically as my whole family, friends and myself all have mental illness in our lives, such as bipolar disorder, and for my sister schizophrenia. this song really touches on the depression and pressures the youth faces. I think the lyrics were meant to be blunt for the most part as people need to pull their heads out of there fucking asses and stop the stigma around mental illness, your just as shallow as your comment

Don't care what the haters say. I absolutely adore every track so far. I can't get it out of my head. Will have it on repeat just as much as I have every other album of theirs. AF has always evolved their sound. Every album has always been an entirely different album conceptually/musically from its predecessor. This album is definitely about irony. It's a living breathing work of irony and ART. And I happen to think it's genius.

In life you will loose friends and family, and its not painless. Music helps express whats inside, comforts because we all feel that way. This band is genus, knowing how to touch that emotion in song. Love.

It was listening to Arcade Fire that helped me to get up and leave an abusive marriage. Creature Comfort and basically every song in the AF catalog is my theme song. I love U Arcade Fire!!!

This song is not about suicide. Yes, it mentions suicide but it is primarily about the abundance and plenty of America. It is about the shallow wants and desires of American culture. It is about instant gratification that leads to a feeling of monotony and dissatisfaction. It is about ingratitude.

Cory Funk : it's about how this abundance in western culture, creates people feeling they don't belong anywhere, only findind shallow responses to their despair through social media and general stereotypes, ending up wanting to die because they see how superficial life can be and cannot find their way to a simpler life with sincere relationships. In a simpler way, many teenager think you need to be popular to exist and fit in, thus fail to create real connexions with people and let themselves die from despair and loneliness. But the message is also that there always will be someone who cares, and suffers from both the pain and the death of their loved ones.

No, it's about how our culture makes young people think if they aren't famous they don't exist. If you're "nameless" the best you can hope for is the "painlessness" of life's creature comforts. It sympathizes with the people it's addressing, but it's also telling them to get out of their narcissistic funk and start living.
