Lyrics
Agnes, just stop and think a minute
Why don't you light that cigarette and
Calm down now, stop and breathe a second?
Go back to the very beginning
Can't you see what was different then?
You were just popping Percocet
Maybe just four a week at best
Maybe a smoke to clear the head
Your head is so numb, that nervous breath you try to hide
Between the motions, that trembling tender little sigh
And so it goes, a choking rose back
To be reborn, I want to hold you like you're mine
You see the sad in everything
A genius of love and loneliness and
This time, you overdid the liquor
This time, you pulled the fucking trigger
These days, you're rolling all the time
So low, so you keep getting high
Where went that cheeky friend of mine?
Where went that billion-dollar smile?
Guess life is long when soaked in sadness
On borrowed time from Mister Madness
And so it goes, a choking rose back
To be reborn, I want to hold you like you're mine
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
#GlassAnimals - Hudba
this was in the old description of the music video before it got updated:
dear friendsâŠnervously excited to share with you the video for Agnes. itâs hard to explain exactly how it feels inside a human centrifuge. you sit in a small egg-like pod about the size of a horse which hangs off a 50 foot steel horizontal frame. It looks like something out of a bond villainâs lair. itâs claustrophobic and uncomfortable and also incredibly hot.
slowly the whole thing starts to rotate like a helicopter blade. Faster and faster until every part of you becomes crushed under the extreme gravity. its like being slowly sat on by an elephant, or like your whole body being punched in slow motion. you have to flex every muscle and use every ounce of strength you have to keep going. breathing requires serious effort. movement becomes incredibly strained and almost painful. everything that once weighed 5 kilograms now weighs 50. its difficult even to keep your eyes open. it hurts in places you really didnât know existed. veins and capillaries burst under the pressure and bruising begins. its a rapid physical overdrive.
the blood rushes from your brain making it impossible to think rationally or focus. your eyes are also drained and you get tunnel visionâŠonly able to see small circles of the world directly infront of you and your sight goes completely greyscaleâŠno more colour. your balance and spatial awareness goes and the world begins to spin like youâve had way too much to drink. but the most striking thing is the way that the machine pulls on your heart. you can actually feel it struggling to beat and changing shapeâŠflattening inside of your chest. Its similar to that horrible sinking, tugging heartache that comes only with complete and overwhelming sadness. and then you pass out.
we ran the centrifuge 18 times while i tried to sing along to a song which i find difficult to listen to at the best of times.
this was probably the most intense video-making experience Iâll ever have. But its the only way that we could just about begin to simulate for a moment what happens within Agnes.
speak soon,
dave
sorry for the notification, but thank you so much for putting the original description here!! it's very important and it really helps you understand what exactly this video means. this song has a special place in my heart
Sorry, but where did you find this out? Iâd like to see the descriptions of other songs.
That is dedication
Thank you for sharing that.
Damn!, much needed comment!
The fact that he put himself through this just to try and understand for a few minutes what Agnes felt everyday is just the most empathetic and heartbreaking thing. Can't listen to this without crying.
1.1k likes and no replyâs ima fix that.
(Normally Iâm not that one person)
â@@Nedrowlemme give you company in that
Queen Alice lives
Actually I think it was to experience the physical pain that Agnes went through in the moment (just by reading his description and experience) Which is even more heartbreaking.
My daughter has suicidal tendencies. I can only hope so hard that I don't replace Agnes's name with my daughter's one day. Give your family members all the love you can everyday
On the vinyl, this song ends in a closed groove, which means that the last second loops, and the song -- and everything it represents -- never ends (until you stop it).
Damn that is an incredibly cool use of the medium
"everything that once weighed 5 kilograms now weighs 50." This sentence truly puts into words how depression feels physically. Every limb is unbearably heavy and moving feels like the air is made of thick honey.
Philip seymour Hoffman , had a similar sentiment to this about heroin. Then once your on heroin your suddenly aware of this weight being lifted, and anytime you arenât you are excruciatingly aware of it being back.
@@tombuzzguy This was me with methamphetamine. Turns out, I had horrific sinus and ear infections for years, as I didn't care for my teeth, and started going insane over that. Got involved with the wrong crowd, and meth was there. It was... the most peaceful, serene thing ever - because it constricts all your veins, relieving the massive inflammation up there. Along with the drug itself numbing the pain.
I didn't even realise I had tooth problems until then, it was just... so much that it overwhelmed everything in my body.
My favorite part of this video has always been the contrast created by the mannequin - Dave is struggling really hard as he tries to sing along while the mannequin is just kind of sitting there - just like while Agnes is struggling with their addiction others who aren't don't have to go through what they do, and don't understand it well at all. Also just like how Dave puts himself through the centrifuge to illustrate Agnes's pain, but as he acknowledges, it can come nowhere near to what they went through.
Where can i find what the meaning of this song is? Like who is agnes :(
â@@athyawa i dont think the name is actually referring to the real person that dave is writing about on this song, as every song on this album is from the perspective of a fictional character. But dave has said that this song is the pretty much the only one from his perspective even though for the concept of the album he wrote it in place of somebody else. The song is about witnessing a close friend slowly succumb to drugs and wither away right in front of their eyes, and its a real thing dave experienced but only told through somebody else for the purpose of the song.
my tear ducts: oh no not again
me: Agnes Time
my tear ducts: oh god please no
lily Agnes tiem is now a phrase Iâm gonna use whenever Iâm sad
Kapten Eskil honestly great idea
I canât even tear up about it anymore. That kills me sometimes.
If anyone is wondering, he's in a human centrifuge, used by militaries all over the world so they can fly in fighter jets without passing out. If the dials in the video are true to what he experience, Dave looks to be pulling around 4.8Gs, he could be suffering multiple symptoms like tunnel vision, colorblindness, and he may even be blind during the video because of blackout. Depending on how many Gs he pulled he may have been in G-LOC territory, this is when the body pulls enough Gs to go unconscious, this due to oxygen in the brain getting pulled away, this is not just his brain not getting oxygen, the oxygen that in his brain tissue is literally being pulled out of it. Each G is effectively the force of gravity times the number, Dave's body at that moment feels about 5 times heavier than it does regularly, for context the average British man weighs around 85kg (188 lbs.), assuming Dave is around that, he'd feel as if he weighed 408kg. (902 lbs.)
My name is Agnes. Iâve suffered with manic depression since I was 11 years old and this song hit me so hard. One year clean from substance abuse and still struggle everyday, but we still out here yall
so proud of you agnes! youâre putting in the effort to get better and thatâs what matters.
@@peternoparker đ„șthank you so much
You are powerful, Agnes đž
i know this is coming from a complete stranger one year later, but i hope your still going strong! Proud of your progress:)
Hang in there Agnes
People are rooting for you
Wow, you can tell just how hard on his body that was. In the beginning he was beautiful and perfect, and at the end he was sweaty and wrecked. Its amazing the suffering some artists will go through for their music.
I had to keep going back and forth, it looked as though he aged 10 years! The whole shape of his face changed, and the pain is so so visible everywhere. At first I'm like "why is he sweating so much and WTF happened to those roses?" OH MY GOD I have so much more respect for him now.
Its not 'just for their music'...its for their art, their expression...its part of themselves that they wanna translate accurately, and passionatly...and yes he did go to incredible lengths to express himself
mah socks âtheir art, their expression;â so, their music?
Was he is a G-force simulator
There is no art without pain
I never fully realized the depth of this song until the video was released. When a video adds a whole new level of meaning to a song that its own lyrics could never fully accomplish, that's when you know you got some good shit.
The video is just another artists vision of what the song represents to him/her!
1,200 people didnât read the description
@@Zealant the way I took the lyrics was Agnes is an addict and he wants to take the pain away from her. (Addicts perspective)
@@humanresearchtestsubject4c75 or just "them".
So true.
Sorry if I'm late but I just realized that the intro is a phone ringing and an ambulance siren alarm. What a masterpiece this song is!
I just heard this song today. :)
I never noticed this. Keen observation.
Iâm not so sure.
@@Zealant mid way through you can hear the siren again
woah.. i never would have noticed that.. wow..
i lost my older brother to suicide when i was 11. this song gave me an unexpected gut punch when i first heard it, just how close it hit, those last few weeks before he made his decision. i think of him every time i listen to it now, it hurts but it's good to remember his million dollar smile before he did crazy reckless shit. favorite memory is when he jumped off an overpass into the 8 foot deep river below and resurfaced with a crawdad. adore this song and every other to the core.
exxus I canât fathom your loss. Iâm sure youâre an amazing individual and I send my most sincere condolences. My older brother KEPT me from committing suicide years ago and has always been my rock. I am usually a pretty stoic asshole, but am in tears at the thought of your experience and I cannot imagine your strength for persevering through something like that . Cheers, mate âđŒ
i can't even imagine what you two have been into. I can't relate or simply imagine the pain you've felt, but by your comments, I'm convinced you're both so brave to keep going and I'm glad you've kept the good memories with your loved one at your sides.
stay strong đ
@@narvo69 thank you †I forgot I posted this and I'm hit again with these hard to describe feelings of melancholic remembrance. Your icon gave me a giggle too. Be safe out there, and thank you for the kind passing words đ
Thank you for sharing that memory, may your brother rest in piece
Thats fukn sad dude
the way he describes (in the video description) how he actually felt his heart changing shape and flattening under the pressure makes me really uncomfortable and self-aware
???
I DONT LIKE SEEING DAVE IN PAIN
IM EMOTION
Moony SHIT ME TOO
SAME ;(
That minute when the flowers crumple at the sheer gravity after he says "I want to hold your like your mine" gets me every time. Like his dreams being crushed just like the flowers.
I heard this song for the first time a few months ago after dropping my friend off at a hospital so he could get into detox and rehab. On the drive home it came on my Playlist and drove me to tears.
This kid was smart, funny and very talented. He also suffered from very severe depression and pushed everyone he could away.
4 months later that friend was found yesterday morning dead from alcohol poisoning.
I'll always be thinking about what I could have done differently, how I could have helped more. Please be there and reach out to those you know that are effected by mental illness and substance abuse.
I'm sorry, Dylan. I'm sorry you became another Agnes.
I am so sorry for your loss. đ
I literally fell into a super deep depression from my gf breaking up with me , making me homeless, waiting until I was broke , owing me money, work being slow, feeling lost, feeling alone, my family writing me off. I needed my friends. The friends I first reached out to were absolutely terrible about it so I just spiraled alone at first. Then these four beautiful friends of mine saw this and jumped in the pool after me so to say. I was drowning and two of them leveled with me and got me out of it. I mean I'm still in it but I almost drugged myself and boozed myself to death this time. Seeing that people do care literally saved me. I then stopped associating with those friends who would talk about my plights amongst themselves while just boiling it down to "he seems like he needs space". I needed someone to see me as a person and those people unfortunately didn't. We weren't the friends I thought we were. Now I'm getting a lot better and exercise like crazy for my physical and mental health. .
Sorry for your friend I imagine that loss is very hard to bare. Sometimes we get on those tracks and get seem to get off of them. You did something and showed your love, which is more than what the other four of my friends did. He just couldn't find a way out and it's a shame. None of that is your fault so please don't ever blame yourself. Again sorry for your loss. I bet he was dope.
@@Ojibwa_Islandboi damn bro, are you feeling ok now?
Iâve lost several people very close to my heart and I know your pain. I know it doesnât really feel that good when people say âIâm sorryâ but I deeply am and can relate to what you have been through. Hope you are doing well crrently
"we ran the centrifuge 18 times while i tried to sing along"
Is anyone else concerned about Dave's health after something like this? It can't be good for you :(
I know right I was too but apparently it just makes you really dizzy, you can't drive for two days, and you bruise from blood vessels breaking under the pressure...sounds rough but he said he was fine so
@@olivianathalie you a.
Worth it to express the feeling
@@olivianathalie strangely specific
Person: What is art?
Me: Glass Animals - Agnes (Official Video)
That's so true
This song is so breathtakingly human. It shows how humans are so flawed but they can still care very deeply about something. From what I've found, very few artists are able to create songs that can make you feel so emotional and numb at the same time. David (and the other members of the band if they knew whoever Agnes was) I am truly sorry about what happened. I know this was a while ago, so I hope time has helped ease the pain.
I know this comment was a while ago but can somebody explain to me if this song was related to actually one of the band members?
@@iimalloww i don't think there's any proof for the statement, but how to be a human being's songs were all based off of actual events. for example, youth was inspired by a woman explaining a tragic story that happened to her son (via NPR. "It was one of the saddest things Iâd ever heard, and she was on the verge of crying âŠ,but she also had a sense of optimism and calm. Something in her face said sheâd found a way to be happy again.")
he says in the description that it's a hard song to listen to [even in the best of times]
â@@iimalloww okok i did a bit of digging, i found an interview (showcased on genius and an nme article)
"there are varying degrees of autobiography and my own life in each song i writeâŠbut for the most part, that stuff is buried and clouded in fiction or blended with other peoplesâ lives that iâve heard about in taxis or at parties or on the street. But there is one song that stands apart from the rest. it is the most truthful, honest, and personal story i have ever written. and that song is âAgnesâ."
"While Bayley and the rest of the band were initially vague about the songâs subject, an NME article about subsequent album Dreamland made it clear that the song is about a friend of the band who died by suicide."
I dated a guy when I was fifteen. Two years ago. I really think I was in love. He might have been too. But nobody but me knew about him. I couldnât tell my parents that I was Bi, he couldnât tell his. They only knew me as a friend. Mine never knew him. Two months and I could see he was beyond depressed. I tried my best in every way I could but he would regularly go out and party where he could, swallow what pills he could, and do whatever he was given. Then one night he called me at three in the morning. Through tears he told me this was it. He would make himself overdose and be gone. Then he hung up. I frantically called his sister and told her to get her parents and save him. That night was two years ago. He never spoke to me again. I fully thought he had died that night, but it turns out he simply decided that I had betrayed him for not letting him die. Yet I still think about him, and I still miss him sometimes. Agnes makes me think of him. Wherever you, whatever youâre doing Luca, I hope that youâre better.
funnily enough, iâve been in lucaâs place before. in late elementary school i hid a blade under my bed to end my life. i ended up telling one of my friends that i was done with being alive, that i didnât want to be in pain anymore. later that day the police arrived at my house and i was taken to a mental hospital. he had told the school counselors about our conversation, and i felt i couldnât trust him anymore because of it. i was so hung up on my trauma and my supposed need to end my life that i completely dismissed the fact that he was the reason why i was alive, breathing, and happy. it took me the entirety of middle school and a while after that to thank him for what he had done for me because even after hospitalization the pain never went away. i still struggle today in high school but iâm thankful every day for his bravery and i know now not to take my life for granted. i promise you that one day luca will realize that what you did granted him survival, a second chance. it takes certain types of people a while to come to their senses after getting help but one day i hope he comes back to you.
I'm so sorry for your pain. I thought I was in love with my best friend too. I was 15(F) ad he was 16(M) and initially my parents HATED him. He was a BAD INFLUENCE. I was the the straight-laced, straight-A student, clean-cut as could be and he was the "big ol' rebel," with the green mohawk, banned from the the local mall for "looking suspicious," etc. Come to find out, my dad worked at the same hospital as his saint of a grandmother who raised him, and when my dad realized he was raised by her, he was welcome to Sunday dinner at our house whenever he liked. I both loved and hated that, but it meant I got to spend more time with my BFF
who tf asked
@@nuckingfutz5666 Who the hell are you to ruin the shared moments of these people? Get a life and stop trying to trash on others because of your own petty insecurities or even enjoyment.
@@nicoornelas5676 who the hell are you to stop me from shittin on people that give a story that no one asked for
i love how glass animals wrote a whole description, wile most of artists don't even bother to post it on youtube and if they do they only write the album name and to buy it on itunes, i really hate how money makes people think they are more important than others
and thatâs why glass animals is my favorite band
They've changed after Dreamland..
So true
@@koniskas no?
I mean yeah it does suck when people let money to their head, but just because you want to actually make money off your hard work doesn't mean that you're automatically a dickhead money grubber
the point isn't to understand the video. because this song will never make complete sense to anyone except the man who wrote it. but this is art in every sense of the word, and we are so lucky to have is shared with us.
Idk. The song makes perfect sense to me, but thatâs probably only because I heavily relate to the song.
It kinda explains it in the description
People who are depressed and confused usually feel like life is *heavy* on them and everything is *spinning* around them far out their reach...hhmm, that kinda sounds like the video
Sometimes they don't even make sense to the people who wrote it.
@@kaitlynperta7213 That means they are real bad at making music
I just lost one of best friends to addiction and depression at 31 years old. He was the love of my life for years. Music was one of his great loves. He texted me a few years ago that he couldn't stop listening to this song and it's been in my rotation ever since. Yesterday, which marked one week since his passing, my spotify kept glitching out and telling me I was listening to this song even when a different song was playing. So finally I gave in and listened to it-truly listened to it-and I don't think there's any more apt description for the kind of grief than being in a human centrifuge. When the center of your universe collapses, you are swallowed by the gravity. Your heart pounds slow and heavy as if every beat is a herculean effort. You feel grief in every muscle. It's in my toes. I am grieving in every inch of my body, and "Agnes" is the only thing that comes close to appraising that feeling.
I've been reading these comments for about 45min now, and I must say, this one just hit me; hard. Talk about sending you a message huh.?
I'd say even though he's not 'here', the love of your life is still 'with' you always. I believe that was his way of letting you know. Thank you for sharing!
My fucking guts hurt, it feels so warming to know that someone else is going through this kind of pain and that their pain is also being recognized. Youâve given two different people a voice and itâs absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the hug Dave, I really needed it.
This song has helped me to come to terms with the suicide of a loved one.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Thank you for transforming your pain into something so beautiful.
kdavis1001 me aswell
i think the centrifuge makes him look older than he normally looks which iâm sure is some weird metaphor in itself
v.gaven yeah I feel like it means when you go through something traumatizing or impactful in life it ages you mentally and physically
I lost my best friend due to a drunk driver about 10 years ago...
I was agnes for years after...
Just replace percocet and drinking with Amphetamines and xanax...
I listened to this song over 10 times and I fucking bawl everytime.
Just the fact someone is so empathetic they would go to such lengths to even feel an ounce of the agony Agnes carried in her chest everyday...
This song is healing something deep inside me, and I cannot thank you enough for allowing the world to experience this.
My name is Agnes and I'm struggling with episodes of depression and suicidal thoughts, thank you for this song.
Please stay
Don't know why, but Dave looked like Robin Williams while the machine was going for me. Don't know if anyone else saw that too
It made me cry even harder
literally thinking the same thing
which just makes it even more personal and intense tbh
its that same pain
Yes!!
It conveys the raw, yet held back emotion so well. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's sounds heartbreakingly serene, and the lyrics speak volumes as is. The video, and his reaction to every word he sang amplified the amount of emotion that this song brings.
The way they musically express grief is pure art.
It's a very tender melody that brings a ''happy and lovely feeling'' while in the background there's a kaleidoscope type of sound that follows through the music consistently.
Until the last chorus 2:20 where it starts to increases its intensity 2:43 and 3:07.
This increasing intense and mesmerizing kaleidoscopic effect gets overwhelming;
It stuns you in a sense of despair over something that's actually lovely and tender.
All that topped by lyrics' context, IT HITS HARD and for a moment you may get trully trapped in that feeling of loss and grief.
@@tostinesforlunch4338 your analysis sums up why I love this song to absolute pieces, itâs almost Radiohead levels of detailled and nuanced music with a wider appeal and a less demanding listen to dig for the meaning. Dave does an amazing job of just putting it in front of you whilst stirring up all these emotions to create something truly spectacular
They shortened the start of the video it must've broken religion or smth
this song helps me when i'm sucidal. i think about how agnes have friend who want to tell agnes things like 'i want to hold you like you're mine' and that he loves agnes's smile. and still agnes chose suicide. from outside i feel like agnes shouldn't do that and also i shouldn't do that
You are strong. Thank you for staying with us. âĄ
uuu, im so happy to see you make those parallels. you touch SO many more peoples' lives than you realise. peace.

Lazar Paoletti but they should tell. If it keeps them going, then itâs worth it, and Iâm so glad to just hear that theyâre still here.
y'all are calling him ugly but how good would you look if you were in a human centrifuge lmao
We'd all look ugly :p
I'm hurt. I still thinks he's a beauty.
Who tf thinks this man is ugly? Hes a hot dad
Yeah he's super attractive
Been listening to them for a long time and finally seen what they look like , they look pretty normal to me.
[Verse 1]
Agnes, just stop and think a minute
Why don't you light that cigarette and
Calm down now, stop and breathe a second?
Go back to the very beginning
Can't you see what was different then?
You were just popping Percocet
Maybe just four a week at best
Maybe a smoke to clear the head
[Pre-Chorus]
Your head is so numb, that nervous breath you try to hide
Between the motions, that trembling tender little sigh
And so it goes, a choking rose back
To be reborn, I want to hold you like you're mine
[Verse 2]
You see the sad in everything
A genius of love and loneliness and
This time you overdid the liquor
This time you pulled the fucking trigger
These days you're rolling all the time
So low, so you keep getting high
Where went that cheeky friend of mine?
Where went that billion-dollar smile?
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess life is long when soaked in sadness
On borrowed time from Mr Madness
And so it goes, a choking rose back
To be reborn, I want to hold you like you're mine
[Chorus]
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why
You're gone but you're on my mind
I'm lost but I don't know why

Thank you!
No matter how bullshit the CZcams algorithms can be, I think we can all take the time to appreciate the fact there's a replay button
But I couldn't put these emotions into words. I find in touching that Dave sung an emotion rollercoaster while being on a physical one at the same time
this song is actually recomended to me lol
@@Allen-cb6xo you mean by an algorithm?
@@Zealant it was a year ago and I didnt even remember why I made such a pointless comment, the song still jams tho
wish i had discovered this song earlier. i lost a friend to suicide in 2015. it was halloween. i still can't get over the memory of being in school, someone whispering about "hey, a dude who used to go to this school killed himself today" saw an article in the local news about an unnamed teen boy being pulled from the wreckage of a volkswagen jetta, pronounced dead on scene. it had crashed full speed into a concrete barrier. he wasn't wearing a seat belt. i knew instantly it was him, even before the official announcement on his facebook page. i'm crying writing this. i struggle with suicidal thoughts, mental health, trauma, alcohol and drugs, and every time i attempt suicide, i think about him. i think about how i felt when i heard the news. it feels like your heart is being pulled from your body. you don't feel real. nothing feels real. i can't do that to my friends, my family. the day he died, the rest of the school day was cancelled. we stayed in our home rooms for the rest of the day and had a gathering in the auditorium at the end and discussed mental health. i saw my teachers sobbing. i don't want to inflict that kind of pain on others. i no longer celebrate halloween. on that day i just think about what he was feeling before he did it. the pain inside his chest, the same pain i felt when i heard the news. i hope he's resting easier now. i'll never forget him.
I'm so, so sorry. I hope you're alright
when i found this song, i thought to myself that i would never want to personally relate to it. i thought of my best friend who struggled with mental health and thought "i never want to hear this and think of her"
she died from suicide yesterday.
If you're here watching this video thinking about suicide, please. Don't. Reconsider. You will leave absolute carnage behind. Since i couldn't beg her to stay, I'm begging you, whoever you are. Just hold on.
to chloe, you're gone but you're on my mind. i dont think there will ever be a day that you aren't.
How are you doing? â€ïž
Been exactly where you are before đ
@@marthapj7119 i'm doing alright. The grief comes in waves. Its been three weeks and yet, i still can't believe she's gone. Thanks for asking. I think I really needed that. I appreciate it â€.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing okay.
Truly sorry for your loss, keep on being strong
@@spamham3461 hope you're still doing alright â€ïž. i lost my friend a while back now, actually around when this song came out. it gets easier, but this song never loses its meaning.
you're doing a really great job, just getting through these months. Xx
Iâm so sorry that happened. My girlfriend struggles with depression constantly and I had to convince her not to just end it all multiple times. Itâs really scary, Iâm constantly worried the next morning when I wake up, sheâll be gone.
Sat for a solid 3 minutes refreshing. Don't regret a thing.
Michael Black god same
your name is fried eggs but your a pineapple
Madison Christie yeah because pork soda but also because I like fried eggs are you seriously judging me
Fried Eggs i love your profile pic omg
no, not at all if anything i respect you lol.
'pork soda' is my favorite song along side 'the other side of paradise'
This is probably the only time I've read the description of a video in full. And god damn
TL DR?
Wait a minute. Do all of these characters represent parts of Agnes (the photographer on the album cover) as a person? Because on the back of the album everyone is looking away where Agnes is the only one looking foward. Also in alternate versions of the album art agnes is covering his face while the woman that works at the restraunt is looking at him concerned but comforting in a way. Does she represent his regret?
woah this is a cool theory
Wow
OHH
Each song represents a person on that album cover right? If so that makes sense because the person for Agnes is the photographer. I'll have to look at the album art again...I like this theory though.
@@markparisi9338 You are right I believe, the songs line up with people on the cover as the concept of the album was to show different human experiences which were based on Glass Animals meeting people while touring and hearing different stories. The music videos also support this by using the same actors as those on the cover (except for this one) The mother and son are Youth (from the video), the basketball dude is Other Side of Paradise (basketball is mentioned in the song), the girl in the blue jacket is Season 2 Episode 3 (from the video), the guy with glasses on the right back is Life Itself (he has a ray gun which matches the song) I think the guy in the red sweater vest is Pork Soda, I think the woman in the pink is Mama's Gun, the guy in the speedo is Cane Shuga, the woman with the gloves is Poplar St, the photographer is Agnes (as has been mentioned), and the person sitting in the bottom right is Take A Slice.
Every time my thoughts inevitably go to a dark place, I come back to this video as a reminder of what I'd put my loved ones through if I ever committed, and man has it helped
Same. I'm going through a rough patch and then I remembered this song. Sometimes it's hard to believe there's people who genuinely love us
@@ignacia3628 I hope youre doing better friend
@@wildthorn2315 i hope you're doing better yourself too
Hey, hope you folks are doing well.
Stay strong, beautiful humans.
This is perhaps the most moving piece of music I've heard. Awestruck.
This is the greatest piece of music to come from the 21st century, bar none
at "i wanna hold you like you're mine" i absolutely lose it
i'm crying as i type this
anyways,,
i can really relate to this song. particularly the lines "you're gone but you're on my mind/i'm lost but i don't know why." i've never lost a friend to suicide, but i once had a friend that struggled with their mental health quite a bit and threatened suicide once. trying to help them through it when they didn't want professional help was the most difficult thing i've ever done. eventually they sought counseling, but soon after they moved away. we quickly lost touch, since our friendship at that point had completely dissolved into nothing but a therapist/patient type thing, but every so often i'd text them "hey! how are you!" and they'd send me paragraphs and paragraphs of everything that was wrong. their anxiety was at an all-time high, and they weren't in therapy anymore. i got so worried that i completely shut down. eventually we stopped talking altogether, and i couldn't stop thinking about them, but i was terrified of messaging them and feeling worse again. so for about a year, they were always in the back of my mind. eventually i convinced myself that they had killed themself and that it was my fault for not being a more supportive friend. i myself began to have issues forming friendships and being vulnerable that i still have to this day. (they used to get mad at me when i tried to talk about my feelings, because they thought i had no right to when they had it so much worse)
but last spring, they messaged me. all of the guilt, worry, and stress from the past year came to a boil.
since all of this happened i've been struggling a lot with social anxiety, accepting myself, and a whole pile of other things. i've always sort of assumed that it was a result of extreme stress from that time, but i never really knew what my problem was and that troubles me a lot.
anyways, enough of that. all in all, bless everyone involved in the creation of this song. it's so wonderful to be able to listen to a song that puts things you can't explain about yourself into words.
honestly, this whole album does that so well.
Depression, bulimia and heroin addiction was my life from 12 to 29 years old. My heart goes out to all those struggling. 1 year free from all of that and going strong â„ïž
I come here everday, shed a tear, leave, then come back tomorrow.
I CAME HERE AS FAST AS I COULD AND I REGRET NOTHING,
But in all seriousness I do appreciate this song. The video goes well with it, and it really does convey the expected emotion in the song. It hurts my heart to listen to this, sometimes, when I really focus on the lyrics. There's a lot of pain and real emotion in this and watching the video did make me tear up a little(call me soft all you want lol). I love this, so much.
I'm so happy that you guys are where you should be, your music is amazing and though my all-time favourite is Black Mambo, Agnes is my favourite out of the whole album. I love the stuff you guys create, and I really hope to see more in the future. I'm so proud and happy. I really am.
samee
Synfull hearing this live is so amazing. It's so great because there are hundreds of voices singing the same words that all hold a thousand different meanings and it's beautiful to just sit there. It was so loud around me but it felt so quiet and it was definitely something I recommend.
Leandra Gilmore Ah, I really wish I could go, but unfortunately even if they came to Singapore I can't attend. It sounds euphoric to be there, though
I totally agree with all you said.
Every time I listen to it I tear up at the end
I think just looking at a frame of Dave at the start of the video then towards the end is enough to show you what the video is about.
That struggle with mental health taking its toll.
This song made me forget to breathe
Saaaaaame
I breathe to the rythm of the song ;_;
It's one of those songs you love so much but sometimes you can't bare listening to it because you know you'll cry, the lyrics are so meaningful
Thanks for reminding me
yeahh
when i first found it, it was groovi and i ended up sobbing a few moments after it started.
I think the whole idea of trying to sing along while in the centrifuge is supposed to represent the difficulty of talking with others about topics such as their mental health, or recounting a lived one's life after their suicide.
you really couldn't have found a much better way to communicate the sentiment behind this song. this is such a perfect way of connecting w/ those who understand. love you man i appreciate this vid sm i'm glad u had the guts to do it (emotionally as well as well as literally haha)
katstiel his name is Dave
I donât understand the video. Could you explain to me? Please :)
The way I see it, this song is about a person (Agnes) that commited suicide/died. The singer is telling us how he feels after Agnes' death, how he saw his friend as he got more and more depressed and how he tried to help. The video parallels the way he feels now that his friend is gone with the way you feel inside a human centrifuge, as Dave said in the description and I quote: ''every part of you becomes crushed under the extreme gravity, you have to flex every muscle and use every ounce of strength you have to keep going, breathing requires serious effort, movement becomes incredibly strained and almost painful, it hurts in places you really didnât know existed, the blood rushes from your brain making it impossible to think rationally or focus, your eyes are also drained and you get tunnel vision⊠and your sight goes completely greyscale, no more colour, your balance and spatial awareness goes and the world begins to spin like youâve had way too much to drink, ...the machine pulls on your heart, you can actually feel it struggling to beat and changing shapeâŠIts similar to that horrible sinking, tugging heartache that comes only with complete and overwhelming sadness, and then you pass out.''
I have never seen a better way to describe the feeling of loosing someone dear to you.
@@JacquiMB Agnes is a dude. He can be found on the album cover of How To Be A Human Being, holding a camera over his face.
NobleMason117 omg I didn't know that! Thanks for the info, I'm gonna check that picture now! I feel kinda iffy for misgendering him hahaha
I thought he was going to spin until the G-Force made him pass out!
Willliam Robson same
Just recently there was a post on twitter about it... they edited out all the times he passed out..
lol he did. like, a lot. they cut it all out obviously.
can i just...that is so not healthy lmao
the things hes ready to do for a music video.... hes really trying to get a message across
He didnât do it to be artsy, he did it to feel the pain of what Agnes went through. Even if it was just for a moment of how much pain there is, he would never obtain all of their pain.
You say that he looks ugly but thatâs what mental diseases do. They make you look like the monster but really itâs a call for help when we go through the pain. We need help from ourselves and families. Be there for them even if they donât you there. Donât say anything or do anything, just sit there with them.
@@marcosm123 This is why you hire actors that can not only capture the emotions needed but also look good while doing it. Singers should stick to singing.
You can tell he meant every lyric and every note with every fiber of his fucking being.
What other artist/band would do something like this for their music video? Talk about dedication. One of the reasons I'm obsessed with this band. That and their unique sound that makes you feel things you didn't think you could before â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
This is the only place on CZcams that is not contaminated.
Because literally how can you listen to Nujabes and be a dick
There's barely ever even lyrics to get mad about
thats cuz glass animals fans rock
Denise Rodriguez it's everyday bro with that England city flow
Look what you've done
T H damn.
I cry my eyes out to this all the time. My best friend and I love this song and she's the thing that keeps me holding on. I'm her Agnes. Ive struggled with serious mental illness my whole life, addiction, abuse and sicknesses and she's always been the one to be right there. This song makes me realize what it would do if I ever followed through with one of my awful suicidal thoughts. She's going to college soon and I'm not. Idk what to do without her.
ik this was commented two years ago, but i seriously hope youâre doing better. just know sheâs not the only one rooting for you
My very best friend texted me that he loved me and my family and he was "so sorry". I was 350 miles away and called him and called him and finally called and woke my parents up screaming that they had to call 911 to my friend's address. Thank Odin and the universe almighty, my best friend is still here, he is married to a *magnificent* woman, and they have the cutest, most kick-ass kid around. But this song makes me think of him every time. Swear to god, if he'd died that night, I would have died that night. I obsessively doodled when I was on the phone with him and I still have the piece of paper I doodled on, but I keep it in a box I don't like to look in.
â€ïž
I have listened to this song probably 100 times now. Iâve never understood why it impacted me the way it does, until now-1.5 years into sobriety.
Agnes might be a song about the total loss of a friend to substance and sadness, but I feel like that cheeky friend-perhaps not a genius but Iâm someone who is incredibly open about my love and about my loneliness with my friends. I started to feel like people were losing me to substance abuse, most of whom had no idea about my internal and private struggles with addiction and crippling depression.
And listening now, the meaning seems to have even more nuance. I now feel like the songâs ending refrain also reads as a momentary struggle with self-identity, in the grips of addiction or grief or depression. And thatâs what really hits me like a hammer. Youâre gone, but youâre on my mind. It reads like the internal dialogues Iâd have with myself when I was nostalgic for a once care-free and innocent life.
For anyone out there whoâs struggling to cope, or lay down the crutch⊠it is not easy, but with each passing day it _becomes_ easier. Your breath is your best friend. inhale 5, hold 5, exhale 5, hold 5.
Youâre on my mind. And Iâm so happy youâre still here.
im not crying you're crying
the_cosmic_alexolotl correct. I am sobbing. Like not in the ironic context.
its ok to cry man. :) let us all cry our hearts out
we're all crying mate it's alright
yeah
im not crying because i am a toxic man
i want to be Agnes. i've been overdosing since i was 16. and now im 20. trying to kill myself almost every week is unhealthy but i have to live so the people around me are happy. and that makes me happy. so when i hear the second verse, especially
"Where went that cheeky friend of mine,
Where went that billion dollar smile?"
these lines stop me from ending it all. so that people dont have to go searching for the cheeky friend with a billion dollar smile
::edit, 2 yr update::
Doin fine now. Better, i hope. Not busy unaliving myself now and I'm close to graduating. Still listen to this song every once in a while to keep reminding myself to stay alive. All loves to Glass Animals. Thank you
Please stay strong and believe things will get better. Find someone that can help you get to a better state of mind. Get a professional if you don't feel comfortable sharing it with your loved ones.
I lost my best friend to suicide 4 years ago, and the pain is still unbearable some days. I had no idea how much she was hurting until it was too late.
Azizah Zarei things will get better, people love you and you deserve to be loved, I hope youâre doing ok now and if you ever need someone to talk to Iâm here
please don't go, i will miss you. i almost ended it a year ago. it gets better, i promise.
the fact that my name is agnes means so much

there's people who think this man is ugly?? wtf??
Beauty is relative. :D
@@DoartYT no, itâs not relative, ITâS LITERAL, JUST LOOK AT THAT MAN.
they probably didn't realize he's in a human centrifuge lmao
Does this song resonate with anyone elseâs inner pain? Because man I listen to it just about every time I want to wrestle my existence and am left with pure chaos.
Incredibly deep song and video, also notice the roses buckling under the force, they are genius.
Agnes just stop and think a minute
Why don't you light that cigarette and
Calm down now stop and breathe a second
Go back to the very beginning
Can't you see what was different then?
You were just popping Percocet
Maybe just four a week at best
Maybe a smoke to clear the head
--
Your head is so numb
That nervous breath you try to hide
Between the motions
That trembling tender little sigh
And so it goes
A choking rose back
To be reborn
I want to hold you like you're mine
--
You see the sad in everything a
Genius of love and loneliness and
This time you overdid the liquor
This time you pulled the fuckin' trigger
These days you're rolling all the time
So low so you keep getting high
Where went that cheeky friend of mine?
Where went that billion dollar smile?
--
Guess life is long
When soaked in sadness
On borrowed time
From Mr. Madness
And so it goes
A choking rose back
To be reborn
I want to hold you like you're mine
--
...You're gone but you're on my mind..
I'm lost but I don't know why...
Lydia-Corrin Beckwith thank you xo
Thank you!
thank you đ
Thanks
Lydia-Corrin Beckwith oh thank god, I was looking for that person that posted the lyrics.
So much respect to Dave for being able to perform this song as well as go through the filming of this video. It's been a while since I've seen a band portray such raw emotion and it currently has me in a slight state of shock and awe.
Just watched this video for the first time, my friend passed away last night at 36. The description, the video, express exactly what I'm feeling. Thank you, Dave. Thank you.
This song is helping me through a branded grief I honestly never thought I'd have to experience, because I always thought I'd be the first to go. He was much older, I am chronically ill. Living on the best I can is the last gift I can give him, and spare him my own passing.
But God, the intensity behind my shallow eyes, combined with the hot pressure in my chest feels like my steadfastness is spilling out. A portion of my soul escaped me on Oct. 25th and turned into the fractal that now surrounds me. I see him in everything that made me a better person. I miss him in absoluteness, and this pain in perfectness.
I really appreciate this video, I'm not sure if there's a plot but the emotions expressed are really clear.
Elizabeth D Check out the Glass Animals instragram, he's in a human centrifuge
pheonixxia - you should see his insta post about it, i think you'll feel a lot more about the video if you did
it's in the video description too 0:
its about his friend who apparently killed themselves? someone correct me if im wrong. so this friend was mentally ill and hes trying to visualize how they felt in this video
yeah, i'd mostly agree with that. i always took the song as reflecting on feelings after a friend had killed themselves. retelling what happened, how the person feels after it happened.
Dave I really hope you're okay!! Both emotionally and physically. I'm happy this video came out but i just want to make sure you're all right!
I don't get the "oddly handsome" thing. The guy is downright gorgeous. I've never actually seen him before and been listening to his music for years now. I had somebody completely different in my head. Weird.
I thought he was a 25 year old gay black man. Seeing him, he remindes me of Gotye in a weird way
The way Dave describes crying makes me cry. I dont think I've ever heard crying described so succinctly.That trembling tender little sigh đ„č
I always listen to these guys every time I'm on the bus on my way home after an exhausting day and I keep falling in and out of sleep and starting to experience these crazy dreams about the songs I'm hearing... it's such a weird feeling and I have never felt that with any other band
and idk if anyone else feels this but I kind of miss it when I first discovered this band 'cause all the songs were new to me and I didn't know the lyrics at all so the dreams used to come with more ease as my brain didn't keep track on the lyrics so strictly and now that I've gotten to know the songs so well (since I've listened to them plenty of times) it's hard not to predict the next line of lyrics, the next whatever and so on.. falling asleep to them is becoming a challenge when I'm so focused on the songs themselves
This was the first song I could listen to after losing a close friend to suicide last December. It was agonizing feeling time slip away from when he was alive, from less than 12 hours to a day and beyond, and the fact the measurable distance of time my mind could understand would cease. You can imagine hours, and feel a day, but your mind lets time bleed after that. I didn't know how I would live letting his life and memory slip away like that. He had the warmest smiles and love and humor and compassion I have found in someone to this day, and 8 months on not a day goes by where I don't think of him. We battled depression together for years, intimately and terribly private from others. I thank god every day I got through it and can breathe and smile again, but losing him made me think how truly fragile our lives are on earth, this "borrowed time" if you will he had left (and I think we all do) I didn't even know about. It feels like his life was so out of all of our hands, his stupid self-destructive ways of hiding it getting the better of treatment. Realizing I couldn't have done anything to save him was earth shattering. I couldn't take in anything related to living for 3 days, everything online and media related felt so hollow, and eventually, the only thing I gravitated to and let myself mourn with was this song. It still makes me cry, and I guess it always will, but it's just because it's his song and everyone else who's died this terrible way who shouldn't have. He'll always be gone, but he'll always be in mind as well too; they're intrinsic to each other. I could write a novel on this song and my mourning, but thank you for the song. Death when in focus of life is a tough business, but it's meant more to me than you can probably imagine.
I still remember the moment I realized he was in a centrifuge in this video. Everything clicked into place.
This is an incredibly powerful piece of art. And it's really what intense emotion/grief feels like. Like being crushed and spinning uncontrollably, barely hanging on
They actually worked the sound of a centrifuge spinning up into the song
Oh my God they did
I heard it loud and clear...very unusual!
Wait when?
Around 0:43
This song changed my life. I canât express how grateful I am.
Iâm so glad this song exists. This is one of the like maybe 5ish songs in the entire world that can actually calm me down when Iâm having a mental breakdown.
It's so interesting to me that some people feel panicked by this song. To you and me, it calms us, it reminds me things CAN be okay again.
I listen to Glass Animals since 2017, I listen to this song rarely because despite knowing it well and listening to it for 4 years, it still makes me feel the same emotions as the first time. The lyrics, the sound, everything is so perfect and fits with the deep meaning of this song. A part of Agnes will be forever in everybody who listened to this.
In the year 2020, I became riddled with issues, rooted from my upbringing. Being stuck inside the house caused all this shit I'd been avoiding to catch up with me. I was an alcholic and I was suicidal. In 2021 I found this song through my boyfriend at the time and it really just hit me. Now I'm sober and things are looking a tiny bit brighter. But everytime I come back to this song it hits me so hard because it brings me back to the lowest point of my life.
I just woke up from a long night of drunken self harm, and I think this video showing up is a sign. Thank you
matthew lanphier I've been there before. I love you, stranger. Take care of yourself, please.

Theory: watch dave's facial expressions. My friend and I interpreted the video as him experiencing the five stages of grief (in order). Also side note white roses represent true love, purity, and sympathy.
SydEmerson Wow, I didnât think about that
I never thought of that! What a cool interpretation!
Still one of the most beautiful songs ever created. I love you, Davey. â€
one of my best childhood friends shot themselves while driving last year. i've never cried at a funeral before his and i still cry when i think of him, he would have turned 20 soon after he passed away. rip justin, at lease you're free from your demons now.
I can still remember the exact moment when I first listened to this song. I downloaded the album when it first came out on Spotify, and listened to it all day. It was quite the experience, with each song being so unique and quirky. However, "Agnes" caught me off guard. It started playing as I was leaving the grocery store, and everything about it, the lyrics, the beat, hit me hard. The emotions and soul was just so raw and honest... I never experienced anything like what was described in the song, but I could feel the emotions Dave was trying to get across. I feel the same way when I watch this video, and as a creative, I really admire Dave's courage to be so honest and vulnerable. It shows you really don't need much to get your point across in art, as long as you keep those two qualities the center of your deliver.
Dave and company, this is beautiful, and I'm proud to be a fan.
Dave looks so much like Robin Williams in this video.
Maybe that's why his voice and face make it so epic.
Jessica F
too bad he committed suicide
Nah, he looks like Indiana Jones
He looks like a blonde Bono instead.
I was totally thinking that the whole time!
I donât know how many times Iâve played this song. To imagine Dave went through this to have an inkling what Agnes went through is heartbreaking. Life is long when soaked in sadness
God, you suffered so much for this video, and this is so beautiful, it's shockingly amazing. Thank you the whole team!
you can see how even his hair starts to get dragged down, his skin too
also people saying he looks like robin williams during the drag is wholly painful
This video perfectly compliments the song! Then throw in the touching sentiment of Dave opening himself up and sharing his feelings about the significance of this song to him, coupled with the intense experiences he went through filming this video, and before you know it you're suddenly getting hit with all the feels. Absolutely amazing job! Looking forward to seeing Glass Animals at the Shrine in a couple months so much more now.
My sister recently died due to alcoholism. Everytime I hear this song it makes me cry. If someone you love is struggling with addiction, do everything in your power to make sure they get the help they need.
Just finished detoxing from pills that i knew were fent-laced. Came here to remind myself of something beautiful. The human capacity for kindness and love is incredible. I think of the people I care about and am overcome with emotion.
I hope all of you are doing well in this hard world.
Stay strong, beautiful humans â€
I can't stop watching this video. Emotions I didn't know I had just came spilling out. So creative, honestly I'm in love with this, and such a great song as well.
Verity Mendes me too, I can't get enough. Been listening a couple of times daily
i love this man
Andrea Clare he's our baby
Andrea Clare You donât know him. At all.
Fell in love with this song even before I knew the meaning behind it. What he did to try to even get close to Agnesâs pain, much respect. I wish you would come out with more songs like this. Your emotion sung out is truly amazing
There's so much care and effort put into this entire thing. The way he's singing sounds like he's trying desperately not to yell and cry. The centrifuge, at first, I had thought was just him pulling insane faces, but the description adds so much more. The vivid description of the pain of being in the centrifuge hit very close to home- especially the description of the heavy weight pressing down. I know that a lot of people describe depression as an extra weight on them, and I want to be perfectly honest, it is. Having depression and anxiety makes people age faster. Personally, I can never escape the feeling that my chest and heart are being squeezed to the point of pain. It's a very good song.
Thanks, Dave, for making this, for spreading words.
I wish everyone on earth knew who glass animals are
i still remember i only recently started really actually liking glass animals before i was just like everyone and how they only liked the song heat waves , then my brother who loves playing the guitar told me to listen to popular st and like that i started obsessing over pork soda life itself but i'd never complete the album but soon other songs got added too . i never used to pay attention to agnes i'd skip it half the time cause i was mostly very obsessed with pork soda , and then one day i was just smoking a cigarette and listening to how to be a human being again and was way too lazy to switch and let agnes play and i swear to god it broke me IT broke me so much i couldnt believe how i kept skipping it i couldnt believe i was skipping such a beautiful fucking song the amount of pain i literally couldn't comprehend how beautiful it was and when i learnt the meaning behind all the lyrics it intensified and especially how it starts with "light a cigarette" i literally kept crying and it was always on repeat after that i just fell in love with this song it's so beautiful and it's still on repeat every day
edit : no ones prolly gonna read all this but idk i just thought i should share it cause honestly it's a beautiful song
at first i was confused about what i was seeing and hearing, but reading the description and the lyrics brought me back to when i lost someone very very special in 2016⊠i understand the anguish of feeling like you could have done something, begging them to think again, to hold on for just a few more days⊠if i had just called her on her birthday, if i had just not dropped out of school, if i had bothered to do literally anything would she still be here? would she have graduated with the rest of us? found a love and had a family? i cant help but blame myself and seeing him go through an excruciating experience just to understand what his friend felt, i understand that, and i desperately wish i would have understood it before it was way too lateâŠ
It's been 3 months since u posted ur comment. I hope that ur in a better way of understanding the things that ppl do. This song shld be an eye opener. That when u meet some that's down that maybe u can be thier light.
This song is helping me tremendously through my friends passing. I want to thank you so much Glass Animals and whoever was involved making it. I donât know if there is other songs out there that perfectly fit what Iâm going through, but if anyone has any songs theyâd like to share that are impactful or amazing to YOU- by all means reply to this comment. I need comfort and music is the thing that gets me through the most.
