No matter how difficult life is in any given moment, no matter how worn out and exhausted with life I might be...This Will Destroy You always brings me back around and keeps me grounded, they keep me striving for that glimmer of hope in a very dark and nearly hopeless world.
This Will Destroy You, you build me up. Thank you
This song, for me, paints the image of what its like to live on that one breath, between life and death itself. The anxiety building as the ramifications of the coices come into play, showing the clear view of what lay ahead, ending at a strange point of bliss and serenity as the last letter falls on the page. The ending here is as you make it, but we all share the journey.
I despise people who misread you, who are pleased in misreading you. I feel despise towards people, because I cannot bear it much longer. I have too much faith for this. Are we still newborns, trying to make ourselves understood by some kind magic, or simply denying it ?
How about you, do you despise that same old feeling which we call loneliness ?
When I hear this song, I hear a story. One of a person who goes into depression, as the song starts off with a sad tune. It goes on to become a repeating theme that symbolizes the depression never coming to an end, seeming like it's all that's left. It goes on and on, and as we desire for the music to go somewhere, the person longs for the depression to just go away. When it doesn't, however, the person begins to have thoughts of changing it themselves. This is when the repeating sad theme starts to pick up. Then I imagine the person finally acting on these thoughts, committing a horrible atrocity in a futile attempt to end the suffering that is their life. This is where the music becomes more hardcore. The hardcore part starts off with a less intense part, which to me, seems like the person looking at the results of their action, thinking "Is this who I really am now?" The song ends by getting more and more intense as the person accepts the evil they have become. I love this song.
