There was somebody posting these lyrics in other community as something that spoke to them:
You know, suicide isn’t painless,
When you leave everyone in pain.
NOFX - Doornails
Anybody has the right to have any lyrics - or any thing really - to mean whatever it needs to mean to them. But…
I lost a dear colleague and friend to suicide just a week ago and I am myself passively suicidal. Bullying people that contemplate ending their suffering into staying alive or tainting the names and acts of those that already did is just not the way to go.
Edit: this is not critique towards the person who commented those lyrics, but against that artist and society in general.
I just had to rant. Feel free to believe or react in any way that feels right to you.
Because I raged for 10m fixing the formatting, you can break lines from a quote by adding an extra newline between the > and where you start actual dialogue.
The victims are the band members, and the singer, who have lost people to suicide, and the pain - like you’re going through - is expressed in the lyrics your denegrating.
Sure you can be upset at society, but don’t get mad at an artist for making art that hits a bit too close to home rn.
Interpret my post however you want. I don’t think I could’ve been any clearer on that this is my personal take on the matter.
And I’m just reacting in a way that feels right to me. I hope you find solace fam, we’re all here if you need to chat.
Thanks! ^^ What’s “fam”? xD My internet lingo is… Outdated.
It’s a colloquialism for “family” in the American Urban diaspora, with roots in the Black diaspora. Its a gender neutral term that denotes respect and love, but taken from an observational stance.
So if someone is being an asshole one would say, “aight, fam.” to keep it short and change the pace of a conversation. On the flip, my usage is embedded in context, so it could be casually associated w Dude, Bro, Girl, etc. on a more harmonic tone.
