  • Therapist analyzes the lyrics of "Left Behind" by Slipknot to discuss what it feels like to lose someone to suicide and how the song gives us a lens to move through those feelings which often start with anger and end with despair. We can listen to this song and use it as a call to process the pain of being left behind by those we love and use it to move forward toward to a place of using the pain for our purpose.

    This whole album was music written by depression and addiction and performed by nine dudes that all fucking hated each other.

      I agree to a certain extent. It's true that they were all depressed and addicted to substances and they did have their bouts between each-other, but the bond between them was actually really really strong. You can hear when Paul died Corey and Joey both talk about it literally saying they miss their brother. So I really don't think they hated each other.

    • @VictorrineAurum
      @VictorrineAurum Před 4 měsíci +22

      ​ @testingDEATH During Iowa? Yeah, they all hated each other. Shawn Crahan himself said so and so did Corey Taylor..
      According to Corey:
      “We were just all at odds with each other,” said frontman Corey Taylor. “I don’t know if it was jealousy or if it was just insecurity; ‘Am I pulling my weight? Is this person getting more attention than me?’ It was just dark, and it really spit in the face of everything the band tried to accomplish on the first album.”
      There were plenty of times Sid and Corey would fight during live performances, sometimes Shawn going off on the others, it was dark times for a band that got big quick and were already pressured to make a 2nd album and to then go on tour. Corey said in an interview that after the tour, after Iowa, they finally got time to just settle down and look back on what happened.

    My wife passed away 3/7/2022, she was 65. She went in for a simple surgery and died 2 hours later. She was the only friend and family I had. It crushed me. I didn't deal with it then, I haven't ever dealt with it, I just buried it. This song, (and all Slipknot songs), really speak to me. It helps.

      From Lyss: @patrickg2003 Hey there!
      First off, I just want to say thank you for being open with us here, we appreciate it, we don't take it for granted.
      I am so sorry for you loss, I personally have not lost someone with this relation, but I do know loss very well.
      I can't even begin to think how terrible it must feel to lose someone in this way, especially in this relationship.
      At this time, all of my grandparents have passed on. It has been a tough ride, please know it is ok to grieve, to be emotional. Something my mom has told me that has helped is "it's ok to cry". I think that can be comforting in some aspects, especially when those around you do not show grief openly.
      Loss is so so hard. Dealing with the emotions it brings is so hard to begin, sometimes it just feels easier to stay sad, to stay complacent with thoughts and feelings; that is totally understandable. It is understandable to bury emotions, sometimes it is easier that way, or so it seems. I think a lot of people take this route of burying it down, keeping it inside, you are not alone in that.
      Although it can be tempting to keep things inside, it is not always the best. When I was 14 up until probably 19 I was so depressed out of my mind, I didn't talk about it, I kept it all inside, then one day things changed- I started to be open with loved ones, with friends, with colleagues, and I have learned a lot of them have been through the same kind of things as me, they have had the same kind of thoughts and feelings as me, they have had the same kind of losses that they had to grieve. I think it is good to know you are not alone, although I have not lost the same relationship as you, you are not alone in this.
      It takes time and work to feel okay. I believe that you can work through this, I believe things can get better. I cried a lot through all my loss, I talked about it, acknowledged how I felt, it is still not easy, but it's better. Sometimes it helps me to remember the good times we had, the holidays, the barbeques, the vacations- it can be heart wrenching at times but I think it is helpful in some ways, for me at least, to remember those times. It is good to have things to remember people by, it is helpful to remember that even though we are not together on this earth, they are with us in spirit.
      Friend, please know you are not alone in this journey. I am glad music has been an outlet for you, I hope it continues to be. Please know that we are always here to listen, always here to be a shoulder to lean on. There are people who'll listen, and people who care. You don't have to go through this alone.
      Things will get easier, happiness will come again.
      Much love,
      Lys

    There was a song and music video that the band Good Charlotte did about 20 years ago called Hold On. The song is about people who are depressed enough that they think about commiting suicide, but the song is telling them to hold on to life, to seek help that's out there, and that things will get better. In the music video, they even include real people who have survived their suicide attempts and of family members of people who unfortunately did die from suicide. It's such a powerful song and video that I can't recommend this enough times.

    The IOWA album is both disgustingly brutal and beautiful. It helped me get through my high school years as my parents were constantly fighting. It reached a point to where my mother hurt herself to where she self-admitted herself to a mental hospital. It got better from there for a brief period, but everything fell apart rapidly where things became physically violent. I'm scarred from those days so hearing you break down the lyrics gives me a better understanding of each song.
    I can't wait to hear you dissect the rest of the IOWA album.

    Im sorry about your friend. I hadnt learned that about you yet. I appreciate you trying to find the silver lining by becoming a therapist and by doing this channel. 20 years ago I had a suicide plan. Metal music specifically the band Hatebreed convinced me to try a little more. So I did. Then I figured out what was hurting me and how I could help myself. I made the hard choices and life got better. Sometimes I forget that I used to live like that. Deeply depressed, incredibly anxious, crying till I screamed in the shower daily. Its been in my mind recently. I lost one friend to suicide November and another in December. The one in November did it where we both work. So it’s impossible to go to work and not think of how much I wish I could have gotten the message through to him. #heartsupport.

      From Micro: @bigsbeeburrito6809 Oh friend. My heart goes out to you. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you've been experiencing while going to your work place lately. I'm so very sorry for your losses. It is brutal to lose people we love in such a sudden way. It creates this hole in the chest and this heavy load on your shoulders. I wish words were enough for you to express the heaviness and complexity of this pain. If anything, I hear you and I feel this pain alongside you.
      It's already beautiful that you have posted about these parts of your story and that you are so bravely sharing your vulnerability here. You make a difference by sharing how you feel and by sharing about them. There is no doubt that they were both an important part of your life, of your heart, and it makes completely sense that somehow the brutality of these losses has made you think about times when things were much darker for you too. When my brother passed away, 6 years ago, I've been myself through this internal turmoil of acknowledging the reality of past traumas and the importance of starting to work on my healing. Grief in many ways is transformative, and it makes sense that it echoes or even reactivates parts of our heart that were wounded before. Somehow I believe that it's an intense call for love - towards others whether they are still present or not, and towards ourselves.
      On a personal note, I am so very thankful that you didn't go through your suicide plan and are still here today. Thankful you pushed through and decided to work on nurturing your heart and soul. Some wounds we carry can't be processed or even *seen* as long as we are not ready for it. But comes moments or seasons that become breakthroughs in our own story. You've learned to hear your pain, to understand it, to heal it and to love yourself more. You've traded survival for *life*, and that is such a profound transformation there. The memories that remain about your darkest times are a good reminder of what was - and somehow of what you don't want anymore in your life. They are a part of your story, and now also a beautiful testimony of your personal growth and healing.
      I hope, while you are navigating through this grief of yours, that ou will see yourself with a very gentle, nurturing and protective outlook. As you deserve all the love, care and peace you'd be willing to receive right now. If you ever need to talk more or just someone safe to listen, Heartsupport's community will be there. :heart:

My father fell through a desk in the living room and I rushed in there in time to watch him slip away before the EMT's arrived. Natural causes. I didn't get along with the guy. Barely knew him as a person. But I was left behind more worse for ware. There was anger, grief... and there still is. I hold grudges for all my memories and never learned how to let go.

      From Micro: @sixscribbles8721 I'm so very sorry for your loss friend. It must have been so incredibly shocking and brutal to lose your dad in such a way, even if you were not particularly close to each other. Being there during his last moments and facing this unexpectedly is a heavy experience. You were not prepared - you couldn't be -, and it's absolutely understandable that it has left you in a state of horror and shock. I can only imagine how scary and lonely it was for you to wait for the emergency services.
      What you have been through was a traumatic experience. After it it's like a part of our mind and body remains stuck in that very moment, forcing us to re-live it over and over whenever something activates the memories or the emotions we felt at the time. I struggle with complex ptsd myself, and there are times when the acute memories/flashback surely activate a lot of raw emotions too. The fear that was felt, the confusion when everything was happening too fast, the sadness over the losses, the frustration for feeling in pain all over again... it's a hard place to be in.
      I don't know if you receive any professional support for this, but if not - and if it is available for you -, I would surely encourage you to consider it, just because it can help your mind to process what happen, and to progressively replace the memories where they belong. You're doing the right thing by talking about it here and opening up about the way it makes you feel. The process towards healing and feeling *some king* of closure may seem slow and feel frustrating most of the time. Although you are here today, you are naming what happened and are able to talk about it, which is in itself a huge step and manifestation of your growth/healing. One step at a time, always. I believe in you wholeheartedly. :heart:

    @heartsupport I was left behind by my parents at my grandparents house as a child. I built up so much anger towards them, and it took a long time to forgive them and only wish I had done it earlier than I did. #heartsupport

      From Lisalovesfeathers: @RedDevilTN Hi Friend, That must have been tough as a child, you must have felt abandoned and yes angry and those feelings do not disappear overnight, it is understandable that you held on to them for a long time but the only time it is too late is when they are no longer here to build a relationship with. It sounds like things are better now so try to not be so tough on yourself, have grace with them and with you and enjoy your time as a family. life is short, make memories. xx

      From dr_hogarth: @RedDevilTN Forgiveness isn't something that happens after a "correct" amount of time; it happens when you have processed what has happened to you and can understand the reasons why it happened. I can totally understand wishing that you'd had that extra time, but that is with hindsight through the lenses of forgiveness. You took the time you needed and that, for you, was the right amount of time. x

    • @HeartSupport
      @HeartSupport  Před 5 měsíci

      From EvilGenius: @RedDevilTN Hey there,
      Sorry to hear you had this experience with your parents. Feeling abandoned by your parents, especially at such a vulnerable age is incredibly difficult. My dad abandoned me at a young age, and personally I still find it difficult and I’m in my early 20s. I totally understand the anger you have towards them, for me, I resent my dad, and I don’t ever see that changing.
      Forgiveness is tough, and it’s a process. It involves working through complex emotions, and sometimes accepting that sometimes we just have to move on, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because we deserve peace. I’m glad you were able to forgive your parents eventually, even if it did take some time. However, it is only natural to wish you’d forgiven them sooner.
      Everybody’s healing journey is different. What matters most for you is that you were able to find it in your heart to forgive and let go of all that anger, in order to create some inner calm and peace. This shows you to be a mature person, which is great!
      Continue to be gentle with yourself, and remember that it’s okay to have rough days

    • @HeartSupport
      @HeartSupport  Před 4 měsíci

      From Micro: @RedDevilTN It's okay if it took time for you to get to the point of forgiving them. what you have experienced, abandonment, is a type of wound that can take a life time to be acknowledged, named and processed as such. It hurts very deeply.
      When you felt like reaching a state of forgiveness, it was the right time - your time. It's understandable though that looking back it must have felt like time or energy has been wasted. Somehow, it's easier to see things from a different perspective once we're not *in* the very process of trying to find our way. things become more clear, or at least less cluttered by the way we feel.
      You had to undergo a personal journey that was highly significant and impactful, and even if it had not led you to forgiveness - which would have been absolutely okay too -, every step you took has been worth it and was absolutely valid. We need to explore and wander in order to find what resonates the most with us, to forge our very own path in light of our personal story.
      It is beautiful that you are now here and able to speak about it. Wishing your family and you a lot of peace and healing. :heart:

    Being left behind is a confusing and daunting feeling whatever that loss is. For me this has been happening since my late 20's to present day, from noticing people who you've knocked around with or known moving on with their lives, cutting those out from yours because they've wronged you or they're toxic people and lost people through death.
    It does feel as though you're in limbo, trying to figure out why you're left behind to process it all and a being in that state of loss trying to find a way out and move forward.

When I lost them both my entire world to crumbling down and still feels that way in some places! Much like this song, I can definitely say I definitely felt left behind! Scary world to be right now as a consequence of these tragedies! Watching this, definitely gave me closure! All I can say is thank you! You have absolutely no idea how much these videos and explanations are genuinely helping me right now! Truly, thank you! 🖤🥀

    Just left a comment on another video of yours, which I really rarely do here on yt and thought to myself, let's see this one and I'm done for today, but now I'm here, processing more than I thought I could today. I always somehow looked at "Left behind" from a different angle, relating the feelings it faced me with to a different chapter of my life so this perception shift your views just gave me had me be more honest to myself than ever before and for that I am beyond grateful.
    You give me so much hope as I'm seeing you transforming your pain into purpose while I'm on my path of healing from also being left behind.
    Thank you from my heart 💜

    Slipknot -“Iowa” one of the most powerful songs. It was also recorded in 1 take. There is so much about this song historically, emotionally etc. it’s so deep in many aspects, even historically in the band as it was a re recorded song originally called killers are quiet from the MFKR album. The song Gently from the Iowa album also is the same in that aspect, but is only slightly different sonically and lyrically than the original version, unlike Iowa and killers are quiet.

      From Lisalovesfeathers: @MadHatterWill86 Hello Friend, I am so sorry for the loss of your friend, that is so very sad.
      Reading your post hurt my heart for you both, for your friend because it all seems so unneccessary for anyone to be outside and die from an illness that can be kept under control relatively easiely these days if looked after of course. My heart breaks for you too becasue I think how lovely it was that you two found eachother at times when you both needed the support of a friend and that is special and one thing I know about having a friend is that when you see something good happen to them you feel pride and thankfullness that it has happened.
      It is sad that your friend never wanted your help but I wonder if they just wanted you to move on with the life you now had, the success you were making of things and he didnt want to feel like he was holding you back (this is what friends are like)
      One thing I am pretty sure of, I do not think for a moment that this person would want you to spend years hurting and haunted over this situation. Your friend is now at peace, yes too soon and that is dreadfully sad but they knew how much you cared. The nicest thing you can do now for your friend is to keep living and make a life that you both would enjoy. Best of luck to you. Lisa. x

      First of all, I am celebrating you for getting out of homelessness. Wow! That is not an easy task. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. When we lose someone, I think we as humans tend to look for blame within ourselves and always think we should have done more. Please don't hold yourself responsible for it (holding on to the past can have a negative impact on the future). You were a friend and that means so much. Many people don't even have that. I hope you can let the blame go and focus on taking care of yourself and your daughters.

    • @HeartSupport
      @HeartSupport  Před 4 měsíci +1

      From Micro: @MadHatterWill86 Oh, friend, I'm so sorry for your loss. You must have shared such a special and strong connection for making it through, together, some of the darkest seasons of your life. It's terribly heartbreaking when it feels like you have to keep going without the presence of someone you care about so much.
      I of course don't know you or them, but just through your words here I can see the huge amount of love and compassion you had for them, how much your friendship was strong. There is no doubt that he knew how much you cared for him, and that you were here if he needed anything. Unfortunately we can't force someone to welcome help in their life or even ask for it, as we all have different reasons to not say "I need help", and we have to process them at our own pace. On your end you have not done anything wrong for thinking about your immediate family at the same time. You were being a good parent and committed to your role fully, which is not a fault. None of these circumstances would ever devalue your beautiful friendship and the genuine care you had for each other. :heart:

      From Micro: @nancyweber-xj6os Sending you a giant hug, friend. It must have been so hard to lose the person you love the most, the one you shared your heart with, especially in such a sudden way. I'm so sorry that both of your lives have been impacted in such a brutal way four years ago. Your husband left too soon without any doubt, and there was so many memories for you and him to keep on creating together. It's beyond heartbreaking when you are met with a stop to the future you were envisioning together, to be forced to deal with the silence it creates in your own life. Words are just not enough.
      I hope that, little by little, you will find your way towards let go of the guilt that you've been carrying since then. Of course you wanted to be there and wish you could have make a difference, that he could have felt your presence at this moment too. You are not at fault though for the way things took place, it was completely beyond your control. You couldn't know or anticipate, and being in a different place at the time will never diminish the beautiful love you have for him. It is stronger than time, than distance, than death itself. There is no doubt that your husband knew how much you loved him, and that if you were there at the time you would have done everything you could to save him. The love that exists between you two prevails, my friend. There is nothing more beautiful and strong than the bond that united you, even at that time, and even if you were both in different places.
      I hope October this year will be a time to feel this love within, to honor his memory as well as taking good care of yourself. We are standing alongside you at Heartsupport. :heart:

I’ve probably only watched 3 ‘knot reactions on this channel, but I can assure you it’s been suggested at least a zillion times by maggots in the comments.
    Either way, cool reaction video. You made a Loudwire article.

I cannot imagine how hard it has been for you to lose anyone, let alone four friends to suicide and it would be so easy to say its not your fault and you shouldnt feel guilty because of course it isnt but human beings have an amazing ability to find guilt in any and every situation especially as you say (in the night, when you cannot fall back to sleep) I do hope you have had help over the years with coping with this.

      From AliceBlue: @robinzuchner8583 Losing someone to suicide is a weight that can stay heavily in your heart. All the questions and scenarios keep playing in your mind and it definitely is haunting.
      There’s so many emotions that surface and all of them are confusing and at the same time, they co-exist and are natural.
      It’s okay to grieve and still grieve over time because there no limit on love.
      It’s not easy to be kind to ourselves when guilt is present. In fact, it’s quite easy to do the opposite and allow the guilt and grief to remind us of short comings. I just want to remind you that you have not fallen short. That even though we love and have been loved by those who have come and gone in our lives, it’s not our actions or words that have created the hurt in their hearts.
      We created an environment and space around them that made this world a little more bearable.
      Kia kaha- stay strong

      From Micro: @robinzuchner8583 You've been through hell, and you've been carrying a type of pain that sticks over time, even if its shape changes at times. It's understandable to still think about your friends, to still feel for them, and somehow to still experience this remaining guilt and shame that followed their loss. You have faced losses that were absolutely brutal, and it has left you with questions unanswered, a lack of reason... It's so hard to keep going on with our life when it others that we loved so much stopped so suddenly. Joy feels almost unwanted, if not forbidden.
      I don't know if you ever heard this before, but what happened to your friends was not your fault, and you are not at fault if you smile, if you feel happy or if you live a good life. You've been experiencing a profound injustice, yet the breath in your lungs right now is not something you are guilty of. You are allowed to embrace life as you can while honoring your friends memory at the same time. You were, and you are still a good friend to them. You will always be, no matter what. :heart:

    Just a suggestion, but take a listen to Slipknot's Iowa " I Am Hated". Would love you're reaction.

    @HeartSupport i have now watched all of your Slipknot videos. and i have to say i love your incite, it has helped my further understand what Corey is saying and why they have help me since i started listing to them when i was 14. as some who is bi poler and has ptsd and adhd I've struggled my whole life with little to no support. im sorry but this is gong to be a long one lol. with that said i would like so see your perceptive on Shinedown's monsters. because that song has been one of the few things that have keep me going after me and my wife first split last year and us going back and forth getting together half of that year and finely calling it quits shortly after the new year. and the cadlist for the brake up was that she wasn't in love with me anymore and come to find out she was cheating on me with a guy from work . but back to my point about the song. to me its about are monsters that we have inside control us and when we cry out for help from a loved one or your partner and they just laugh in your face and make you feel like you are crazy for feeling this way and that your (monsters) struggles and feelings are not real. and thats how i feel about my relationship went with my wife when it came to my mental health. so at this point i feel lost and dont know were to go from here like i spent 6 years with this person and my self worth i feel has been thrown away #heartsupport

    Please watch Solway Firth. The power in that song is astounding. There are so many emotions wrapped up in 4 minutes.
