The Whole Suicides Thing - Comments

i agree (:

I get what you mean and agree with most of it. It's like the newspapers only write about teenage suicides to blame "EMO" for it. They sell better if they pick up popular bands and blame them in their articles for individuals chosing to end their own lives. It's not as interesting to read about for example a Japaneese teen-suicide because it happens pretty often (way too often) that teenagers there kill them selves because of all pressure. They just pick the ones that will make the best-selling story, they are aware that they'll create debate if they add bands in their articles and blame them for ppl killing themselves. It's sick...

I love the song Dead! I guess there's different ways to look at the song because that's not how I think about it. I just read through the lyrics and here's what the song means to me:
I believe that the song Dead! is more about them telling a story about a patient that gets to know that he only got two weeks left to live and he feels disappointed in life because he didn’t get out what he wanted from it – for example, he never fell in love. He’s bitter and starts thinking that nobody loves him and that no one probably will miss him when he’s gone.
It’s reflecting the kind of feelings that sometimes are filling us, the kind of view we sometimes have on life, we feel unloved, unappreciated and disappointed in life. They put the character in a situation really hard to handle, a situation that we’re not in – and thank god for that. I think the song’s message is that it can happen to everyone – you can die any time, so why not try to make the best out of your day and try to look at life in another more positive view? For me Dead! is about appreciating life and what you have today and try to make the best out of it. I know that life really sucks at times but it WILL get better in time, the question’s only where and when. For me it's also confirming that I'm not alone with despising life at times, that we all have our ups and downs. The song doesn't make me feel useless, it makes me try to appreciate life more and it's catchy and well, it makes me smile.

I really like what you're saying in this journal and agree with you!
You really mean A LOT to me! I LOVE YOU SFM! And I'm ALWAYS here for you, you can message or call me anytime, I don't care if it's in the middle of the night and you contact me just because you're bored or if you need someone to talk to. I'm here for you. Just wanted you to know that.

Bye for now <3 xoxo

someone with a bit of sence:D

I love the song Dead! actually... it's just so catchy... it actually makes me kind of happy because i kind of know that they aren't talking about me or anythinbg.

Bullet For My Valentine is dark, but I wouldn't say emo. Screamo? Sometimes.

Psychs suck. I had a counselour that was also a social worker and he was the bomb.

I hope you feel better about yourself.

i agree.
