    LYRICS
    Hey there lonely one
    Did you think you’d die alone?
    I don’t think you want to know
    Hey there lonely one
    When you try to leave the world this way
    You’re not the only one that goes
    But you say so long
    ‘Cause you’re too far gone to waste away
    Long enough to call home
    Stealing life’s a way to go alone
    Stealing life’s a way to move along
    ‘Cause you’re too far gone
    You wont be there to help us carry on
    Bye Bye lonely one
    What was it that you wanted to say?
    You’ve gone and thrown your life away
    And now the lonely one
    I wish he’d read the notes inside his head
    But I don’t think I’d want to know
    But you say so long
    ‘Cause you’re too far gone to waste away
    Long enough to call home
    Stealing life’s a way to go alone
    Stealing life’s a way to move along
    ‘Cause you’re too far gone
    You wont be there to help us carry on
    Bye Bye lonely one
    What was it that you wanted to say
    Waste away
    Long enough to call home
    Stealing life’s a way to carry on
    Stealing life’s a way to go alone
    Stealing life’s a way to move along
    ‘Cause you’re too far gone
    You wont be there to help us carry on
    To help us carry on
    To help us carry on
    To help us carry on
    You are too far-gone to help us carry on

    After 2 failed attempts my life was a mess , saw stuff no child should ever see... felt unloved and truly broken then one day I got married, had my daughter and the feeling of having her in my womb and I swear that gave me the hope and faith that I needed... Find something that gives you drive and hope I swear it gets better maybe the scars will still be there and they may ache .. But remember who you are and know your worth because you sure as hell are worth it !

    Both of my daughters deal with depression. I worry every day that my older daughter will give up while she is away at college....thankfully we still talk every day, but it is a constant thought in my head that there will be a day that she gives up and doesn't call me first. Mike, Ryan, Dave, Pat and Ricky.... thank you for this song and for raising awareness about mental health. I've seen you several times, but was lucky enough to hear this song live last weekend and it was so beautiful. You guys are definitely a favorite...I hope you keep touring so I can keep supporting you by coming to see you!

His name was CHESTER BENNINGTON!!!

    I talked to a friend just the day before he took his own life. I asked him how he was. He said he was okay, but he wasnt a good liar. I decided not to press for a real answer because we hadn't known each other long. But I gave him a donut I was carrying and told him to have a good day. I didnt know what had happened until the next morning.
    It ate me alive knowing that my act of kindness didnt keep his darkness at bay. Made worse by the fact that he didnt leave a note. No one will know what his pain was... and by extension we wont ever know what we could have done to help.

    My cousin. He was my childhood best friend and when we grew up we were still best friends. He was at my house every weekend for days at a time. We were remodeling and he cut the glass for my cabinet doors. We celebrated my birthday March 21 2006. The following Wednesday or Thursday, its blurry, my Mamaw got a call. We were walking to her porch and she said the words that forever changed my life. Brent hung himself. I screamed as I hit the ground. I was screaming buts he's OK right!? No he's gone. I blacked out screaming with my face in the dirt. The following weeks are a blur. We never even knew he was depressed. We never even knew. Brent, I love you and miss you so much. We will meet again.

    I stumbled onto this video and after reading some of the comments realized that we all need hope. I too once thought the unthinkable, but I sought help from a social worker and she explained to me that we tend to over generalize and think things like everyone is thinking badly about me, or I don't matter, or people would be better off without me being around, ect. Well my friend this is a lie and once we realize this we can conquer these demons that want to destroy us. Sure some will think what they will about us and the rest our mind creates. Well not everyone is thinking badly about you, there's many who love you greatly, but knowing the ploy of the enemy makes it easy to defeat him. When dark thoughts come remember you can conquer them, don't allow yourself to over generalize, take the victory over the darkness. You are loved!

Rapids, I am from Milwaukee) I have been suffering with clinical depression w/suisidle tendencies for 20+ yrs, I have tried everything from A-Z, meds, counseling ...
    Music is my saver, band's like yours are finally addressing this, with truefull
    lyrics, heartfelt meaning"s and things that need to be said,Layne,Scott,, Chris and Chester were lyrically genius and they will be sincerely missed, when you listen to ( just about every painstakingly moving song by these great artist's, you can hear, hopeless, broken heart's,,, but I truly understand the darkness,even when lights are on I'm in the black no light shine's in my head, I'm in a hole, but I've stopped digging n can't get out.NO explaining,or even a deserving blurry vision of WHY!!,D Some people are just this way. But I keep getting up every day and wonder why I'm still here??? Sorry for rambling on, these are just my feeling's
    Please kindly keep it up, your message of music helps me to live every day.

    When you're dealing with depression, you know you're not the only one going through what you're going through, but the stigma around depression and the daunting task of finding others like you eventually wears you down to feeling like suicide is the easiest choice and only course of action to end your pain. It's terrible, but some people lose the struggle. Please seek help if you're having suicidal thoughts. You're more precious than you know. Stay strong ✊

  • @stefanieschmidt9002

    It took me some time. But when my beloved and (to me) invicible dad commited suicide, I understood - although I cried my heart and soul out from the moment I was told on and never stopped deep down insinde of me since then - that he had been in such a darkdark place for a while, that he couldn't help himself but end it himself. My mom, my sis and me know it in our hearts, that he has always loved us deep and dearly and that hurting us was never on his mind. But when he went to that bridge that day with a rope, there was nothing left but that cruel disease depression. It is such a burden to bear for me, for us, since then. I never knew he had depression. So what burden it was to bear for him, I will never know either. But I descided for myself (without seeing any therapist) , to respect his descision. It is an honour, to be his daughter. My hope is to have filled our years toghether with love and laughter. I know, I've been filling it with quarrel and unnecessairy fights as well. But I love him. And I know, he loved me. So what remains, my dear friends...is love. And respect. He made his decision. And this decision was made, because he was ill and he suffered. If he'd seen any chance, he'd stayed with the ones he loved most. Depression is a cruel and brutal illness. And it leaves so many of us behind with the neverending question, Why. We all should be aware, if or why our loved ones suffer. Don't look at your mobile - look into the face of the one that you love. Thank you for that song. It made me write down something, I should say and will say loudely more often.

    @Iluvpie6 Před 5 lety +33

    There’s something so bitter to me whenever people pull out the “think about all the people you would be leaving behind and how bad they would feel from your selfish act” argument. It’s a guilt trip, and it seems like the worst thing you can do to someone who is depressed and struggling is heap guilt and blame onto their heads. That’s why I like messages like this that are geared more towards hope and the ability to move forward. Depression isn’t about the people around the depressed person, it’s about them. They’re the ones who need support. It’s only when they don’t get that support that it becomes a problem for the people around them.

      I disagree to the last line.. it's always a problem for family and friends of someone depressed and or suicidal or both.. we all fight with what we have inside of us for ourselves or someone we love and those that don't aren't truly anyone that matters because depression is a heavy thing to fight through with family and friends but without them even that much worse and it is not a them or us thing we are all in this world together and should fight for each other the same way as we love or care!
      I don't need to hear goodbye but I would need to say it and that is just for me not for them.

    • @inventorcreator7267
      @inventorcreator7267 Před 5 lety +2

      Jaded Angel -Jaded Angel- so right!! Saying goodbye isn’t always about anyone else or “them.” The depth of being in that place is something people don’t understand. You realize who really cares about you when you need to say goodbye, and who wants to “understand” why you’re wanting to. It’s not about any intervention or any pats on the shoulder. When you got that moment of surrender you better have some “real” people around you. And it’s a scarce world.....despite how many go through all the same.

    Red Sun Rising, I want you guys to know your song is helping me through a really dark time right now. I’m doing everything I can to try to get better, but every time I find myself coming back to my lowest point, I’ve been telling myself “I can at least waste away long enough to call someone first” and reach out for help. Thank you so much.

    My Uncle Paul was, for so many years, my best friend - we laughed together, we cried together, we struggled together and we fought together, but in the end it was all too much for him. He made the decision to decide his own time to pass into the next Realm. Everyone was distraught, angry, disappointed, upset, furious with him. But I felt nothing but sadness and empathy. The note he left was addressed to me - I keep it and treasure it, even though it is oddly impersonal, a catalogue of things that need to be resolved and a statement of apology. They were his final thoughts, and he thought to leave them to my care, and mine alone. It scarred me, but it also made me stronger. There is not a day that goes by that I don't regret the way things transpired. I wish I had realised how bad things were; I wish that I had noticed the warning signs; I wish that he were still here so that we could laugh and cry together like we used to. But it has been 12 years. 12 years and I miss him every single day.
    To anyone who's still reading, to anyone who still cares, s**cide is not the answer. People love you. People need you. People can only be who they are when you are a part of them. No matter how hopeless things may seem, you are loved. In the very worst of times, someone will take you in, care for you, give you what you need, comfort you, nurture you, give back to you all the good things that you have given to them. I can't begin to express the emptiness, the sadness that a person's loss is to those who love them the most.
    Thank you, Red Sun Rising, for this song. It means the world to me, it truly does. It is beautiful and haunting and perfect in every conceivable way. The lyrics cut me to my very bones, but they mean so very much to me. A truly beautiful ballad.
    xx

    About thirteen years ago, I had this friend. Brilliant kid, loved drawing and designing engines, talked about his mom all the time (he'd been a foster kid for a while, but near as I could figure he still had contact with her in some capacity), bit of an odd-ball with a tendency to get into the most ridiculous kind of trouble like accidentally stabbing himself with a pencil when he tried to annoy someone with the eraser end he'd just licked.
    He was bullied in school a lot for his engine obsession and a verbal tic he had that ended up becoming something of a meme at our school, which was probably why we were friends - really, making friends with the other outsider kids was pretty much the only reason why I had friends in school. But after a while, he just abruptly stopped coming to school. I'd had a lot of stuff going on myself at the time and I'd made the assumption that his mom had finally gotten her shit together enough that he could go back and live with her.
    It took two years and a high school rally about suicide and bullying for someone to tell me that he'd killed himself at his foster parents' house. I've blamed myself a lot since - for not noticing the demons he was constantly fighting, for not doing anything to help him before he died, for not being a good enough friend to pull him back from the edge. But I finally came to the realization that blaming myself for something I could have done different during a long-gone time when I'd been fighting to keep my own head above water that might not have made any difference at all wasn't helping anyone; it wasn't helping my mental health and it certainly wasn't going to do anything for him. It's still hard to think about and I wish that someone, anyone could have helped him.
    I've had a few suicides and premature deaths in my life, in my family and outside of it. My friend's was just the one that hit me the hardest. There will always be regrets there for me about things I could have or should have done and as I get older, I get more and more aware of how young he was when he made that decision to end it. But I suppose really the best I can do now is try to carry on.

    Great song! Has some tears flowing. I suffer from PTSD due to things that happened in my childhood. Every day I wish that I didn't have to deal with it. The anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts. Many times I stood at the edge of a bridge, ready to take that final step. Many times have I thought of stepping in front of a moving vehicle. So many times have I prayed to not wake up. Yet, I am still here. When asked how I have made it this far, I say that I hate to lose. If I take my life, I lose. I also have two daughters, even though their mother keeps them from me, they keep me going. I have been to the depths of hell, sometimes, I still go back. But hating to lose and my two beautiful daughters pulls me out of those depths.

    I attempted to take my own life around ten years ago. Though things are much better now, it's something that never really goes away. Those thoughts are always lingering away in the back of my mind, and it's something I constantly have to be mindful of. What really got me through it, and what continues to get me through the hard times is music. It's one of the only things that can evoke emotions in me, and it's my constant source of therapy.
    Great song, and a subject that needs much more coverage.

    Unfortunately, this song has much meaning to me. I've lost a friend, nephew, and cousin due to suicide. I write music also and my fellow bandmates and I made a decision to only write songs that were uplifting to the soul and not the trash that so frequents our airwaves anymore. This song here, having more meaning to those left behind, yet tends to throw the guilt at the one already depressed. I would think anyone listening that was already thinking about suicide would not benefit from being sent on a guilt trip for thinking about it! IMO I applaud this group for bringing attention to such a devastating, all too often, occurrence in our society. In my experience, nothing we said or did made a difference in the end. The "too far gone" lyrics seem appropriate and the most accurate.
