  1. If you relate to this song, you are going through the same stage as me; Self discovery, failing, but moving forward on the journey to beautiful times ahead… this is what I call life. what’s does this song mean to you?

    1. For me its just about me realising all my mistakes that are making me even more than depressed
      Things i cant take back or things i cant fix
      I dont know what this song makes me feel

    2. I don’t know what I’m doing, and why, and having everyone’s advice and following it is it worth it at all. I fail a lot, I act like I know what I am planning and doing, but in my own world the whole confidence thing is fake. I relate when he says “whole in my false confidence” or when he says “don’t let those demons in again” and “I wake up young again” if I could restart I would do things so differently.

    3. I have a little bit of a different story with this song. My best friend and I are competitive dancers, and this is a song we are thinking about using. So here’s my story.…

      Basically, you are used to being treated terribly and all the people around you either leaving you, or making you feel guilty about what has happened. Finally you find this person you can see you (like the real you) and understands why you are the way you are, and is willing to “build you up again” after every downfall. This person makes you feel love. The real kind. Not the manipulates kind you’ve always had. The slower/darker parts are your past memories and mental health reminding you of all the bad. The faster parts/chorus is when you are with this person, and the love and reassurance they give you. The end feels like a final hug before you realize that it is all going to be okay

    4. I know I’m just not fine, but I just don’t know how I even begin to help myself,
      I just feel so lost, I don’t know where the walls I’ve built up between myself and others end and whoever I actually am begins…
      I don’t feel like I trust myself because how can you trust someone you don’t even know…?
      I’ve begun trying to talk to people but I’m running out of confidence with no real progress

    5. @Pixataurus “I feel like I don’t trust myself bc how can you trust someone you don’t even know”- that’s ur answer right there my friend, your lost because you don’t know yourself, u don’t trust yourself because u don’t know yourself. That is where ur journey begins. Start by getting to know yourself. Not the self that you put on for others- the self that lays behind all the walls you put up, it is there u will find peace, it is there u will find answers, it is there u will find home. Everything u ever need is within your true self, it is in your soul. Who you are Is good enough. It is yearning to be expressed and shared with the world because no one is You. And that is your power. It’s your job to be You to the fullest. so go be that, and everything else will just fall into place. At least u know now that where u need to be is not far- it is right there within you. ⭐️

  2. This guy 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻 I dance around my house, singing badly and crying with laughter at him being super real in his videos because it’s so beautifully relatable ❤️ Noah Kahan, your music has given me something bright and beautiful to smile about and helped to lift me out of a really dark patch. Thank you 🙏🏻

  3. I went to high school with Noah’s older brother and sister, we graduated together in 2011. We didn’t hang out in the same circle, but my younger sister was in the same grade as Noah and the two were friends. I knew him as a little kid, who I used to find so obnoxious 😂 (as adolescent boys can be lol) He was always so kind to my sister who had a pretty hard time fitting in at that age and they still remain in contact to this day. It’s just so awesome to see his success! Congrats Noah ❤️ (From Emily’s big sister 😉)

    1. @Rasha Aya i thought she was lying i searched on the internet if noah had siblings and they said he was an only child. And lying is not good in the internet. But if i was rude i am sorry. And think about it what would you do if you thought someo e was lying and i got information about how noah had no sibling maybe it was worng like how slideshowgirl said. So im sorry.

  4. Noah Kahan: I was seeing all these people on instagram and online, these artists that were getting attention by looking the part and giving the world this processed version of themselves that fit the spectrum of what brings fans– dressing crazy, or having a vibe or a super crazy aesthetic and I just didn’t have that. I always struggle with social media and branding myself. I love writing songs and singing and I was always comparing myself to people who have great brands. It made me feel like I had to do the same thing to get success. So for a while, I felt like I was losing myself in trying to brand myself or trying to have an aesthetic and look a certain way instead of focusing on the music and what makes me, me. That idea planted the seed for the song.

  5. this song is basically socializing in a nutshell. You gotta change everything about you to fit inside a social circle, and how everyone knows it but decides to ignore it. This song is like the awaken of that person who doesn’t want to fit anymore, he just want to be happy but he knows is going to be tough.

  6. This perfectly captures the feeling of chaotic and high energy mental breakdowns and I love it

    1. @pj thats such a gross thing to do. Ive got ADHD and autism and I would love to not have them. All the weird people that tell me its so cool and i must be happy makes me so uncomfortable 😕

    2. @pj I understand what you mean. I have impulvie type adhd and mental breakdowns are almost a weekly thing. We see a lot of media glorifying stuff like this on mainstream media… At the same time, I try to look at all the posivites that exist within the “neurodivergent world”. And I do agree with the poster, this song does capture the energy, and I also love the fact that something so complex can be “represented” in a beautiful song.
      Stay positive my dudes and dudettes

  7. “I wonder why i tear myself down to be built up again” hit me hard. I’m always tearing myself down wether I want to or not and my friends unconsciously build me up and it just plays on repeat

  8. this song is one of few that makes me feel that life is worth living. ive been in a slump of depression and self hate the past week or so, then i came across this song. i realized i can and i will get better. to people like me out there listening, i want you to know its okay to feel like this. its okay to cry yourself to sleep every night for weeks, because just know youll be okay at some point.
    i didnt think i’d make it to 13 but i did. im still here, and you can make it too. take my hand when you’re ready, i’ll wait. i wont force you to get better, i know its hard.
    -Raymond

    1. I’ve been feeling so lonely and depressed for the past 2 weeks I forced myself not to cry or feel sad then I found this song and all the feelings came out at once now I’m much much better. For everyone feeling lonely everything is gonna be okay trust me all the bad days gonna end eventually ❤

    2. I feel. I never made any long term plans, because I never thought I’d make it to 16. Then 18. And now I’m 20, and somehow I survived all the bullshit, made so many mistakes I deeply, deeply regret, hurt people I never wanted to, and been in intense emotional agony. But I’m still here, somehow. There are still people who love me, incredibly. I got a diagnosis, I’m up for an interview for a job, and I‘ve been clean from my drug dependency for going on 2 months now, which isn’t a lot, but it’s a step forward. I can rebuild. I can heal. I can live a life that isn’t defined by fear and misery. And maybe someday, I’ll feel like I’m secure in myself again, and not at the tallest point of a paper tower built on sand. It’s a long shot, but if you don’t aim high you won’t even get halfway there.

  9. I haven’t heard this song in like a year, and part of me didn’t realize how much I sing it to myself. It’s something I constantly need to hear. It’s the truth.

  10. Don’t take yourself so seriously
    Look at you all dressed up for someone you never see
    You’re here for a reason but you don’t know why
    You’re split and uneven your hands to the sky
    Surrender yourself

    And I wonder why I tear myself down
    To be built back up again
    Oh I hope somehow, I’ll wake up young again
    All that’s left of myself
    Holes in my false confidence
    And now I lay myself down
    And hope I wake up young again
    Hope I wake up young again

    Don’t let those demons in again
    I fill the void up with polished doubt, fake sentiment
    Surrender yourself

    And I wonder why I tear myself down
    To be built back up again
    Oh I hope somehow, I’ll wake up young again
    All that’s left of myself
    Holes in my false confidence
    And now I lay myself down
    And hope I wake up young again
    Hope I wake up young again
    Hope I wake up young again

    Why won’t you take me seriously
    Look at me all fucked up over someone I’ll never meet

    And I wonder why I tear myself down
    To be built back up again
    Oh I hope somehow, I’ll wake up young again
    All that’s left of myself
    Holes in my false confidence
    And now I lay myself down
    And hope I wake

    I wonder why I tear myself down
    To be built back up again
    Oh I hope some how I wake up young again
    All that’s left of myself
    Holes in my false confidence
    And now I lay myself down
    And hope I wake up young again
    Hope I wake up young again
    Hope I wake up young again

  11. Don’t take yourself so seriously
    Look at you all dressed up for someone you never see

    I wonder why I tear myself down
    To be built back up again

    Holes in my false confidence

    Hope I wake up young again

  12. Don’t take yourself so seriously
