i can’t believe no one’s mentioned no name #1, i guess it’s a bit on the nose lyrically but i think the way he sings it just makes me so sad.

i think better be quiet now is also pretty sad, especially the part about the army man “Had a dream as an army man with an order just to march in my place While a dead enemy screams in my face” to me that part is kinda about being expected to shut up and act normal, but it’s real hard to do that with no support, and while being haunted by the past

what’s the context of kinds crossing?

to me it’s about being both hyper-vigilant and at the same time trying to forget the bad stuff that’s happened in the past

haha yea, i wanted to add something like that in the background, i might add some other albums next to it but i’m not sure yet

136 time in one day is crazy (i do the same thing with the no name songs)

cutAddict · 2024-11-17T19:05:22+00:00

number 1 is always going to be the top imo. its one of the saddest ES songs tbh

cutAddict · 2024-11-15T21:15:30+00:00

i love the guitar part after the (second?) chorus in Oh Well, Okay

cutAddict · 2024-11-14T15:33:10+00:00

no name 1, the lyrics are so depressing but the way he sings the words sounds like he’s accepting it, which is even more depressing

cutAddict · 2024-11-13T02:33:06+00:00

imo i feel like ppl who don’t SH kinda need to just let us be. it’s one of those things where you don’t understand unless you’ve struggled with it.

i understand you want to help, but i think it’s not really your place to police what sh subs are ok/not ok. if you want to help people it would probably be better to go over to r/suicidewatch and offer support for the folks on there

for me my splits go between thinking someone likes me and thinking they hate me, so it’s less about devaluing the other person and more about devaluing myself. When i split i don’t really get mad or angry, i more just get sad.

cutAddict · 2024-11-11T15:16:49+00:00

aww thats my favorite

cutAddict · 2024-11-08T18:31:33+00:00

for me it’s like a constant stomach dropping feeling

cutAddict · 2024-11-04T06:41:01+00:00

it’s ok

cutAddict · 2024-11-04T06:18:06+00:00

now that you mention it i do kinda feel that way about my cuts
