This was Circa's last song during their set at Red Rocks in Denver on their tour with AFI of which they did an extended version of this song. Near the build at 4:25 Anthony got off stage and started walking into the middle of the crowd where I was standing. He walked right up to me and EVERYONE ran to the center of the crowd around us SCREAMING this at the top of their lungs with Anthony. Rain started to lightly fall on the crowd as the song reached it's peak. Nesting Dolls was a dear friend of mine's favorite song who unfortunately passed away a month before this show. I cried and screamed this with all of the people around me as a farewell to my friend. It was one of the best nights of my life and I won't ever forget it. Oddly enough that same night I met the now love of my life. Thank you Circa for helping me say goodbye to someone so close to me and giving me that experience.

Thank you, I still come back to this song all the time and just take time to remember my friend and this experience. What's more, is that Anthony wrote this song about his addiction- which is how my friend passed away. I really can't explain with words how important that show was to me, you can find video of the show on Circa Survive's channel in the second episode of their "Summer 2017" video series. It's at the 12:00 mark. I've been to countless shows, seen and worked with countless artists, but this was an experience that went beyond everything.

Circa Survive was there for me after I broke both feet back in 06'. Friends left, people met, but like you I also met the love of my life during my recovery and I haven't let go in nearly 12 years. Now we have a beautiful 2 year old girl named Olivia. It has been and always will be a life long goal to see either Circa Survive or The Sounds of Animals Fighting perform live with my two special ladies. It'll happen someday I'm sure.

Played this song at my brothers funeral. I don’t listen often because of how sad it actually makes me but I come back to it every once in a while. It’s a masterpiece

I posted awhile ago about the impact this song had on me during my battle with opiates and withdrawals eventually to a full recovery. Recently read the song is about Anthony's battle with heroin - that kind of connection through a piece of music is priceless and I can't thank Circa Survive enough for this beautiful track

"There was one song on the record I wrote when I was really f-cked up. It’s called 'Nesting Dolls.' A bunch of people have told me it’s their favorite song on the record, and, to be honest, it bums me out. It’s literally my least favorite song I’ve ever written. It’s the saddest thing. It’s borderline too-honest in my opinion. Musically, it’s a great song. But it’s really hard for me to listen to." - Anthony Green, Highlight magazine interview it makes sense if this is about his problems with drugs and alcoholism. "I don't want to feel like this ever, ever, ever, ever, ever again."

This song is pretty much a milestone of their career. Everything Circa Survive have been through, the growth, the talent, the evolution. And Anthony Green.. Once again, You left me totally speechless. This song you wrote is truly a masterpiece.

This song really resonates with me due to my struggle with psychiatric problems. This song makes me remember "the moment" six years ago where I had had enough of being unstable and extremely unhappy after winding up in a hospital after attempting to end my life. Safe to say that is all taken care of. As a Circa fan since 2009, they've done such amazing work, truly geniuses. As for this song, it's easily the most goosebumps-y song on the album for me, but of course the entire album is certainly one of their bests!

“When we’re young, and everything’s magical, then it all disappears” 😢 that hit me hard.

Circa Survive meets Explosions in the Sky. My personal favorite on the album. Amazing song!

Lily O'Bryan This came out exactly one day after a soul-crushing break up. I've been through them before, but nothing like what I experienced then. On top of that, I was going through a severe mental breakdown and suffering with incredibly bad depression. Then I heard this song, and it was almost as if it was meant to come out when it did. Songs have perfectly worded life for me before, but this felt... Different. Almost like it was meant to be there for me at the right moment. It held my hand through it all, pulled me onto it's shoulder and shook with me as I fell apart, and though I was utterly choked by my tears and wracked with immeasurable internal pain, it kept me going. This song feels like a monument to me now. So, yeah, I know how you feel.

Loving the length of these tracks

I always come back to this song. Makes me tell myself 100 times that everything is gonna be alright. Nobody should ever be depressed, or anxious, or anything that just brings us down. Every one should be surrounded by the people we love and the people who truly love you. Nothing else matters.

One of Circas best songs ever..ever..ever...everrrrr.......

best Circa Survive song ever. Pure emotion and I love most Circa songs, but this one hits me on a whole new level.

As a huge post-rock fan I was originally yearning for a crescendo but after a million play throughs I really appreciate how they decided to end this song. So good.

I saw Circa Survive last night in Chico, CA having never heard of them. Just going with a friend. But this song utterly captured me. It was a beautiful way to end a fun and lively and pretty fantastic set. I guess I'm officially a fan now! ;)

David Robinson As I grow older,I've always felt that there are those of us who wonder what it would be like to meet ourselves.We wonder what we would think of ourselves.The very first time a Circa Survive track surged through my headphones in high school, I felt like I was pulled from myself long enough to experience that. Something about this music always makes me want to be a better version of myself.We all go through our own period of hell or purgatory.We all get those spells of solitude that seem endless even when the room is crowded,but music like this is like a cleansing of the soul.It's as if it's willing to hurt right alongside you and then you have a good cry,stand tall and embrace all that is worth suffering for. No matter how big or small those things, they exist.There are so many things we shouldn't have to endure as human beings,but this band was always a leg up for me.Circa kept me company when I was ready to quit and I became stronger.Forever thankful for helping me find that power.#EternalFanOfCircaSurvive

This guy literally put it all into words for me

I really LOVE the explosions in the sky/post-rock vibe this song has. Too awesome!

Anthony Green and his band Circa Survive is the most uplifting, inspirational band I have ever seen. This song really is a show of emotion and I know will drag feelings out of the toughest individual. What a great band. They are on Sumerian records now, which is the label that signed my brothers band. Broadcast the Nightmare. Too bad Broadcast finally broke up, because there could have been a nice tour. GOD! I'm about 3:30 into the song and I've got chill bumps. My hair stands up.

For the past few weeks my 4 month old son has been teething so he's extreamly fussy. When I play Circa Survive, he always chills out a bit. But this particular song, calms and relaxs him so much. Without fail, it ALWAYS calms him down. Which is werid, because it makes me kind of depressed (in a good way) He is now asleep in my arms after listening to this song twice. Thank you!

I've been to their show at the knitting factory and this song was the most emotional part of the set. It hits home.

This album is going to help me get through my final exams. Absolutely beautiful music

Its strange how a song can explain exactly how you feel and whats happened.

I know…circa is on a hiatus. But when this song comes up, my old relationship comes up. And when that happened, I felt like we were done. It’s at that point she started listening; she realized that after much abuse, our relationship was on the fritz. At that time we were about to break up, with me in tears, because I never wanted feel that way again. Ever again. In spite of us not making it later, we never wanted to feel like this again. So as much as I love circa survive, I never wanted to feel like this. And I hear it now, feeling like I don’t recognize her or myself in that circumstance, I don’t feel like I am that person anymore. And I have circa to thank for that. It’s the weirdest feeling.

my favorite off the album so far,this is beautiful

This would be my favorite track off of the album... Way chill with a hearty slathering of melancholy.

While Juturna will always be their breakout album and a fan favorite you can't deny the quality of their music hasn't changed from the start. If anything they have gotten even better. Not many bands can put out more than 2-3 albums without a dramatic decline in creativity or increase of repetition.Everyone will have their own opinion in what their best album is but everyone has an opinion. Circa Survive's music has always been on the highest tier of creativity. Thats a fact. I can only speak for myself but I can listen to every Circa Survive album without having to skip a track. I can go to the moon in my living room. Just press play. Circa Survive > Mainstream Bunk. Talent is undeniable.

Travis Cobb I get what you're saying... But Circa has always been about building to a certain moment. Every time the release music, they build up to it. "Nesting Dolls" for me was the best way to end this CD, the sense of angst, the sound of Anthony's voice being so uncertain, and the lyrics pretty much stating "I never want to feel like this ever again" build up over and over again. I like to look at it like the 5 stages of grief, the song around the 5:30 song reflects acceptance. The way the lyrics are drowned out by sound, letting the moment settle into you. Giving you the ambient noise and a final few notes, like it's assuring you it's over. But I respect your opinions man, to each his own. :)

Agreed as the ending track but I like that there was no climax. It suggests that "I don't wanna feel like this ever again" is a work in progress. That's my interpretation anyway.

Still hurts I can't forget ,I can resonate with their music got me Tru last year with a horrible break up and this year too sadly things didn't workout I was so inlove but drugs tore us apart.But now am ok my ass went to rehad this year .so I been sober n clean almost 6 months as right now am ok still struggling with personal stuff .

definitely best song on the album, top 5 theyve ever written. this song really hits home

This album is pure magic!

During the ending last 2 or 3 minutes he starts singing "I don't wanna see.. See my future.. Anymore. " But then after that before repeating that line, or in our words every other line he says something else obviously different but indistinguishable what he says to me. Anyone have any idea from hearing it live or does it say in the lyric booklet or does anybody somehow know? It's " I don't wanna ______... _______. ____... Anymore". On the second line of it.

Played this song at my brothers funeral. Honestly the most perfect song and band.. I always thought my bro looked little bit like Anthony. Mostly because he had that same fade hair style like Anthony. And unfortunately both were addicted to heroin and such and I swear to fuck he fucking nails these songs, especially when they come out at times that would make sense most. Same with that new song Flesh and Bone. The fucking cherry on top of things I relate to

truly beautiful

This song is my life. So good!

reminds me of Think of Me When They Sound. So atmospheric.

Assalamu alaykum everyone. I cant believer Circa Survive is capable of making me feel so many emotions at one time. Such a beautiful song. When this album came out I really didn't appreciate as much as I do now. I understand so much.

Just got out of rehab for opiate addiction and alcoholism, my wife won't hardly talk to me. This song hits the nail on the head of how I feel, and I really wish it didn't.

Boomerang: This came out exactly one day after a soul-crushing break up. I've been through them before, but nothing like what I experienced then. On top of that, I was going through a severe mental breakdown and suffering with incredibly bad depression. Then I heard this song, and it was almost as if it was meant to come out when it did. Songs have perfectly worded life for me before, but this felt... Different. Almost like it was meant to be there for me at the right moment. It held my hand through it all, pulled me onto it's shoulder and shook with me as I fell apart, and though I was utterly choked by my tears and wracked with immeasurable internal pain, it kept me going. This song feels like a monument to me now. So, yeah, I know how you feel.

Was using heroin when this song first came out. I listened to it and thought I had it in me to get clean. A month here or there, mostly only ever sober when incarcerated. Lost my brother a few years ago to an overdose. The mother of my two children, whom we are not allowed contact with, is currently fighting for her life. She is hospitalized because of a infection from using needles, had caused vegetation on her heart. I am lying to myself when I say I am only getting one more bag. It has been the last one for years. Except now I have reached the end of the line. If I don't embrace sobriety, heroin will have finally taken everything from me.

This is awesome.

This song reminds me of tides of mans young and courageous album and explosions in the sky. Definitely my favorite song on this album as well.
