If you have never suffered from depression , you don't know how dark a night can be. It makes me mad when people say "it's the cowards way out " when they have no idea the pain it brings. For anyone that truly knows , we know the strength it takes to go on ONE MORE DAY.

it really is the cowards way out.. wth are you on about? if I didn't push myself to go out of my bedroom and touch grass after living in obscurity for 11 years, I would've stayed mad and probably lost it by now. thank God for covid, bc of that, people went inside while I did the opposite. the lockdown was all it took for me to find courage to walk out again. damn I hate people still but I am learning not to mind them now.

No Dr ever diagnosed me properly or ever asked about my childhood until 4 years ago and once I researched what it was I finally understood why I felt the way i did my whole life. Sad that no dr. got it right for that long. I missed out on feeling normal my entire life!!

Grief is one of the hardest fkn things I've experienced so far. I lost my mother in 2000. She was my best friend, she was a down to Earth person. A flower child of the sixties, smart as a whip. Mean as a tiger ,there were so many things she taught me. I miss her so much ,she never let me down. Ever. She was the most tranquil soul I've ever known. A good natured spirit. I could go on and on. I still cry to be with her. She's checked on me every now and then. There is no words really. My mother was a very precious gift to this short life. Sadly the curse of this life is to loose everyone you truly love,and we can't do a dahm thing about it. We just moved forward through it. Accept it. Let go ,but never ever forget. I know she would want me to keep on going. I just hope she is proud of me. I'll love her for all eternity. If there was a award for best mom. She would get it. It gets better. It takes a while. I cried for seven years till the tears ran out. What gave me the strength to carry on ? I got unstuck when I stopped drinking alcohol and doing hard drugs. It was suppressing my healing process by burying my feelings. Clarity unblocks everything. I feel her around me sometimes. I dream and she's with me in my dreams. She still teaches me good wisdom. She was my best friend here. Always will be. Forever.

I was a rebellious teenager when this song first came out and my mom despised the music I listened to EXCEPT this one. She died in 2003, and since then, this is the song I remember her by. She would go on eternal rants about how crazy I was for listening to what I used to listen, and how this song really was different, well composed, emotional, and she even liked how it ended with "heart beats". 18 years later I still miss her, and for a good part of those 18 years I'd cry listening to this; now it makes me smile because it brings back fond memories of when she was alive. Thanks, Staind, and kudos for writing the only song both me and my mom agreed was good. That is an accomplishment in and of itself.

The vocal dynamics to this song is what makes it such a masterpiece. You just listen to Aarons voice and it takes you on this uplifting ride out of your depressive comfort zone and into normality, if only for a moment, and then the song ends.

This song can be interpreted in many different ways. Surprisingly he wrote this song about living life with ADD. I’m diagnosed with ADHD and this song makes a lot of sense to me because of that.

Aaron Lewis is pure heart when he sings.

Such a delicate and fragile song I can't help but feel it emotionally and cry every time It comes on.

@ Annie Watson Coventry i feel the same way i lost my dad due to a stroke and depression in January of this year 3 weeks short of of his 75th birthday and i was floored when he started playing Staind and i told him 'Dad I didnt know you liked Staind' and he said 'you play them enough and couldnt help but like them' and i smiled a secret smile inside and was like yes i finally turned him onto good music and this was 1 of his favorite songs and it still makes me smile and cry at the same time :) and ive still got so many unanswered questions that only he can answer that i will never have an answer to

I’m a high functioning autist with clinical depression, and holy shit, this resonates with me like crazy… the feelings of regret and confusion are all consuming some days. “I know I’ll do the right thing / if the right thing is revealed” has got to be one of the strongest lines, imo

You know, when you lose someone you love, it haunts you, the fights, the things you say that you don’t mean, it hurts, then you lose them, and you can’t take it back, your left with a hole ripped outta your soul, but, you move on, you have too

His music always have a way to strike at the inner part of my soul

thank you all u people for helping me

One of their most underrated songs. This dude can flat out sing

This song describes my mental illness perfectly no one understands when your having a panic attack trying to tell them what's wrong bcuz I'm crying I start to stutter and get called a crack head and laughed at sux feeling alone stay strong anyone struggling I'm rooting u find peace in your life and I pray I do too

I lost my mother in 2000. I reached a pretty dark place during that time. I found the Dysfuntion album right around the time I lost her. Aaron's feeling in his songs helped me through it all. As the years passed, and my feelings changed, Staind released Break the Cycle, and 14 Shades of Gray. The tone of those albums fit with where I was emotionally during that time. I owe Staind, like so many others, for keeping me centered during this time. So, thank you to this fantastic band. And I'm still listening in 2022. It helps me remember her.

I have played this out at my own funeral countless times. Truly one of the songs that speaks to me inside my soul- close your eyes and listen to the words

It's crazy how much I can relate to this song. I lost my husband to suicide almost 2 years ago. It's put me in such a dark place. I feel hurt. angry. guilty. lonely. Trying to keep myself together while also adjusting to being a single mother to 3 kids under 6. It's been rough but I'll always keep pushing forward. I have hope that things will get better again one day ❤️‍🩹

An instant classic, and songs like this... This is what I appreciate Staind for the absolute most. Way too much secular music focuses on subjects that... Really don't hold meaning in the true world, like sex and drugs and money... None of that holds the real meaning in the world that people are always searching for... However... Songs like this, Home, Fade, It's Been Awhile, Outside, Open Your Eyes, Falling, So Far Away, Warm Safe Place, even their current songs like Here and Now... This soulful music is what makes me appreciate Staind the absolute most, and because of that... I'm praying for them all, along with their families and friends... Genuinely, our Father who is in Heaven, hear my prayer for them all... In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray this, amen. 🙏 To those who also are fans and, also men and women of God, please join me in this prayer for them. ✝️

Stained was my band back when I was 14-18 Ah the memories. Without good music I'd be dead. Feel sad for the kids today not having songs that can change their day.

I struggle everyday with depression on top of being homeless not knowing what my life will be like today just hoping for the best each day but I get through don't no how but I do but the inner strength some how having one person believe in u is the most amazing thing in the world and I thank u Bridget if not for u n my son I'd have given up on me

I listen to this with tears in my eyes. I miss my stepdad who died in "01, my brother who was murdered in "08, My oldest sister who died in '15 and my younger sister who died in '16. I wish they could hear the things I wish I'd said.

Listened to this song often about this time last year as I was caring for my dying father. He passed a few weeks later, after a long battle with cancer. It was the most horrific torture that I have ever dealt with. Watching your loved one die slowly and painfully. This song cuts me to my soul every time.

Oh my Lord, my heart breaks at the sight of this place. What horors they do to each other. There is no regusrd for YOUR TRUTH. please give me strength in this hour for i am so tired. Do with me as YOU WILL DESIRES

Watch Aaron perform this solo in London and he reveals what this song is actually about....ADHD

Literally my favourite song, this will never age in my opinion.

It hits that certain spot

If they released this song in 2020. It would be just AWESOME. Timeless music from my teen years. This band is so AMAZING.

This song, this whole album has been my therapist for almost 20 years now. You would think you would get used to being depressed...

My ex-husband just passed and our only daughter found him. It's has been hard on all of us. He died Jan 19 2021 a month after his birthday on Dec 19. It all seems unreal and it hurts bad. And listening to his favorite song hits home.

This song hits 10x harder after you've been given a late life diagnosis of ADHD and you now know why he"s depressed. It's not an easy condition to live with, especially when you don't know you have it.
