Reblog if music has saved you in any way.
Music saves you in the little moments. The little moments where you sit down on your bed, and you think about pulling out that blade and finally doing it. Or even just relapsing. You listen to music and it makes it better and you don’t.
Those little moments when you’re crying and you want to grab the pills and pop them all in and you listen to music and you don’t.
That’s when music “saves your life.” You don’t just live because the band exists. You don’t survive because they are.
You’re still here (partially of course, because we all have people that love us and such) because in the moments you wanted to die, their music made you feel better. And that has to count for something.
man people are assholes
Music is also a way to know that you aren’t alone, some bands write about things like self-harm and suicide, and to the people who are listening to their music, it’s comforting to know that you aren’t the only person who struggles through things.
Music saved my life because I took comfort in knowing that some of the greatest people struggled when they were younger too.
Music saved my life as well, when I was in an extremely dark place when I did drugs and would cut, I learned how to play guitar and sing. Now I compose music as a way to cope with my depression that still continues to haunt me. Music saves the lives of not only those who listen but those who express through it.
Fucking Christ. There have been countless artists whom I’ve found to be so inspiring and genuine. Just when I start to lose hope in myself, and it seems like no one understands, I find an artist who manages to put into words what I’ve been trying to say for years. For fuck’s sake, if I hadn’t found out about Eyedea, I would probably feel so much more worthless and useless than I already do. If I hadn’t listened to Ruiner, I probably would never even attempt to write music. If it weren’t for Trevor Strnad, I would never be as into writing as I am. My point is, if it weren’t for musicians being able to express my thoughts and feelings for me and do the things I hope to do one day, I would have left this accursed and terrifying planet 6 years ago. Music is what helps me believe that life is worth living. No matter what you listen to, everybody knows there’s that one band that you could not exist without. They helped you through everything. Thick and thin. When no one was there. Whether they know or not, they helped in keeping you alive. Fuck these people
Music has saved my life more than once, it always helps me.
Im not ashamed to admit ive been diagnosed with two different types of deptession, anxiety, ADD and i have some symptoms of bipolar disorder because you never fucking know who else might be suffering from the same stuff and if you happen to say you have the same problem as them then they know they can relate to you. Its amazing to know that you’re not alone and not the only one suffering, and music has saved my life and im not ashamed to admit that shit happens and some how music was there when it felt like nobody else was and maybe some people cant understand that but it’s fucking possible so shut the fuck up and find other things to diss please
