    “There will be a day when you can say you’re ok and mean it” and “I promise you it’ll all make sense again” are the most uplifting lyrics I’ve ever heard. Ever.

    This song NEVER fails to make me cry and it’s always those two lines “there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry and I get that they don’t get it but they love you so much that you won’t regret it” those lines just open the flood gates but after I’ve cried for a little bit it doesn’t feel so bad anymore.

    When I was deep in my depression, this song sometimes sounded like a life line, other times it felt like it was mocking me. Now, it’s one of my favourite songs because I’m not perfect, but I’m a hell of a lot better than I once was. And I’m proud of myself for that💛

    Honestly, the ability Dodie has to actually relate to any and every person who has ever been through any tough situation just blows my mind. It's like she's having the most genuine, eye-opening conversation with you and there just happens to be incredible music accompanying. I have the utmost respect for her and her ability to write lyrics that hit home, every bloody time. She deserves everything good that ever comes her way, and more.

    A message for people who are feeling down :
    Please , don’t die . I know you feel like know one understands what you are going through but try making some friends , Internet ones are great as it’s not as awkward as talking to people irl . Take a hot bath , maybe a shower whatever suits you , then read a book , have a snack . Do little things that make you feel okay , do things that make you feel human . Get a hot water bottle and curl up under a duvet. Keep warm . Try helping other people as well , you have experiences that give you knowledge that some people will never have and use it to help people , the reward is great.
    You’re not going to believe a word I say
    But everything will be okay
    Maybe tomorrow
    Maybe a long time from now
    But there will be a day where you can say you’re okay and mean it .
    If you need to cry
    Cry
    If you want to scream
    Scream
    Break something
    Shout as loud as you can
    This is your world
    And you are in control of it
    If something is upsetting you
    Tell someone
    More people care about you than you realise
    I promise , I care .

    {LYRICS}
    I've got a secret for the mad
    In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad
    And I get that I don't get it
    But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it
    You're not gonna believe a word I say
    What's the point in just drowning another day
    And I get that I don't get it
    But the world will show you that you won't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    There's nothing to do right now but try
    There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry
    And I get that they don't get it
    But they love you so much that you won't regret it
    You're at the bottom, this is it
    Just get through, you will be fixed
    And you think, that I don't get it
    But I burned my way through and I don't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again

    The last part reminded me of when my school let go of hundreds of balloons, symbolising letting go of someone who had died who I was very close to. We would never truly let go of them, but we would discover peace, and remind ourselves that they were now at peace.
    This song and this video are pieces of art. Thank you.

  • @AlwaysLovee28
    @AlwaysLovee28 Před 6 lety +198

    I feel like the kite represents the internal issues we burden with ourselves constantly because we don't know how to let the negativity go since you've been holding onto it for so long. But once you learn to let all of those things go, you stop spinning in the circle and focusing on this problems - instead you learn to see the world around you that you may have missed before.
    Beautiful dodie

    • @amyb2589
      @amyb2589 Před 5 lety +8

      I agree - and I think when she realised there were other people going through the same thing at the end, it made it easier to let go with them, because you don't feel so alone.

    this song is so therapeutic for me. I've recently gone through the worst 4 years of my life where I was (an still am) struggling with extreme anxiety, depression, and depersonalization/derealization. I've gotten so far down that I attempted, more than once. But now i'm on anti-depressants and you know what? I went ice skating for one of the first times ever and talked to a bunch of people there, and just a couple of months ago I would get hour-long panic attacks just by thinking of going to school and seeing people. What dodie says really is true, you just gotta stick through it because where theres a beginning, there is always an end.

  • @sophie-sg4dc

    I’m currently going through emotional numbness which basically means I feel things but not like how it’s meant to be, like my feelings are in my head but not my heart, telling me what should be happening but they just aren’t. It was really bad this past summer, and I was listening to Dodie’s originals for the hundredth time & even singing along, but this time I really truly listened. And as soon as she sang “you’re at the bottom, this is it. Just get through, you will be fixed,” I completely broke down and every single feeling came rushing in and it was an experience like nothing else. I haven’t felt emotions that strong since then, but I know that one day that’ll be what’s normal for me, and I’m very excited for that. This song & Dodie hold a very special place in my heart, thank you Dodie for being this kind and sharing your thoughts with us like this

    So many little things to notice that I don't know if they were intentional or not. For example:
    -when the little plants in the background became big and the trees were smaller it just makes so much sense, sometimes the small things are just looming over you while the big things can feel so easy to deal with
    -The way the seasons flowed, there was more winter/fall than spring/summer. It always feels worse than it does sunny but if you keep moving you'll come to a good spot.
    -And the last thing I noticed is that when she finally let go of her kite the tree's stopped falling apart really fast like they normally did which I think means that while your going through tough times living can feel like a blur.
    Sorry for any mistakes or confusing statements I'm typing through tears.

    I’m listening to this song after so many months, and it’s bringing all those memories back. Last year, I was severely depressed and had a really bad anxiety problem. I was so fed up that one day I hopped in my tub, took a blade and held it up against my arm. I had previously written suicide notes to my friends and family; I was ready to go. However, I decided not to do it. Once I got out of the bathroom I unlocked my phone and launched CZcams, this song was the first thing on my recommendation. I clicked on it since I loved your other songs and when I listened to the lyrics, I broke down crying. It was a sign that I had to try to live, to look for help. Here I am, over a year later grateful for this song and for the opportunities it gave me. Thank you Dodie for doing this❤️

I just need them around to not look lonely. And they need me, cause they all have no one else. Not even each other. That’s the funny thing. All these people, and none of them really like each other at all. Some actively hate each other. They’re there for me, and I’m not nice enough to tell them to get a fucking life. So no, not amazing.

    The ending was my absolute favourite part. When everyone just appeared with their kites, it was so beautiful. And then when they all let their kites go, it felt so much more personal. These are all people, going through similar things and they can help each other, be there for each other and love one another. Let go of your kite, see those around you, and realise that you are not alone ❤️

    Dear Dodie,I am a 6th grader with high functioning autism, anxiety, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. Sometimes I can barely make it through a school day without having a meltdown. In fact, last friday I ran out of my orchestra class screaming. When I have completely lost control, I have physically injured myself, to the point where I have scars on my hands and arms from stabbing myself with earrings. I have gotten better at controlling myself, but now it ha gotten better because of your song. When I listen to I I feel like you are there talking me through it. I have an approved Spotify playlist that I can listen to at school to calm down, and I tend to skip the songs and just loop yours. I love you and your music, and someday I would like to meet you.

    About a year ago, I was walking over to the cupboard and was genuinely considering overdosing because my sadness and depression had simply become too much to bear. I'd texted a friend of mine, saying what I was intending to do. I figured that if anyone could help me out of it, they could.
    And they did. They said a lot of meaningful things, but one that I very distinctly remember is when they told me to listen to Secret of the Mad and 6/10. I was apprehensive, but I did. I sat down on my couch, took out my phone, plugged in my earbuds, and put on Secret For the Mad.
    And I cried. I cried a l o t. Because I knew what Dodie was trying to say. I knew that what she was saying is true. And it pulled me through that night. I went back to my room, away from the cupboard, and listened to Dodie's music. I listened to it and cried until I eventually fell asleep. While I was still sad, I was hopeful, and I was alive.
    Now, a year later, I've struggled through a lot of things, and still am dealing with depression (among other things) but I feel so much better. Without this song, I'm not sure if I'd still be here.

The lines "You're not gonna believe a word I say What's the point in just drowning another day And I get that I don't get it But the world will show you that you won't regret it" really get to me because It shows how many depressed people think and the people who try helping them.

Last year I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Panic Disorder, and when I heard thing song for the first time, it was as if you wrote it specifically for me. I sincerely want to thank you for sharing it all those months ago. Whenever I am panicked or feeling sorry for myself because of my strange mental health, I look to this song (or your music in general) and it always calms me down. This video is beautiful, and it perfectly pairs with the song. I just sat here and completely zoned out for the duration, and I think it will serve as a great place of visual refuge for me in those moments of uncertainty. Thank you for sharing. Sending you much love.

    So I would be really proud of you if you're still there. And if you're reading this, I need you to fight and to be strong cause I'm trying my best right now and it will mean a lot if you do too.
