Terry Rodriguez41 said:I don't get why anyone would choose to listen to depressing music when they're already feeling down, since it just drags you even further into the gutter...

The truth is that sometimes you can only really start to climb back up once you've hit rock bottom.

Terry Rodriguez41 said:What I'm saying is that heavy, brutal death metal is actually the cure...😁

When you're at that point where you're seriously considering cutting your wrists, maybe it helps.

la mer said:You should really give this Mortal Coil a listen, specifically "Song to the Siren" from the album It'll end in tears, because I think that track alone says everything you need to know.

Man, that is such a dark album to me!! 👍

What kind of sadness are we talking about here? What's causing it?

Heartbreak and romance troubles:

Laura Pausini - in assenza di te (I honestly think it’s a brilliant song, but it’ll absolutely crush you if you’re already going through it)

London after midnight : Sacrifice

Existential dread:

Joy Division - New dawn fades
Metallica - Fade to black

Feeling like life is just slipping through your fingers too fast?

Alphaville - Forever young
Wolfsheim - The sparrows and the nightingales

Dealing with a loss?

Anathem - One Last goodbye

...okay, that got pretty heavy 😳

William Doyle2 said:How can you say No when that's exactly what they're saying in the song!?

You can find the lyrics over at www.genius.com if you want to double check everything...

William Doyle2 said:Is it just me, or does the lyric in that song "Moscow" actually sound more like this:

MOSCOW - holy crap
.... ^ ........................^
deep male voice high-pitched female voice

? 😕 😁No! 😁

Jessica Wright said:nothing is ever really too much for them🙂

I have to agree 🙂

I'm actually listening to some deep cuts right now

Please! 😁

Man, why doesn't the website actually say the concert is happening in Denver?

Kenneth Collins8, we really need to make sure we secure our spots for this concert 😁

When do the tickets actually go on sale? I just hope they have everything properly organized this time..

Does anyone know if they're planning to organize any transportation for the trip to Vienna?

I honestly feel like most of us aren't actually in the driver's seat of our own lives, mostly because we tend to fall into this trap of passivity. You can actually work some real magic through self-improvement, but instead of prioritizing that, we all seem to spend our energy grinding away at random tasks while neglecting the most essential work required for our own growth.

Well, then that really doesn't mean anything to me at all 😁 Unfortunately 😢

Does anyone actually know where or when Diary of Dreams is playing?

ankada said:P.S. Nails actually act as a shield. What exactly are you afraid of, or who is getting under your skin—one of your parents? It feels like a frustration so deep it looks like you want to consume yourself. Just think about it; if someone is bothering you, biting your nails is just your way of creating a defense mechanism.
Someone mentioned earlier that this is all mental, and they aren't wrong. Try telling yourself that you won't bite them, and your subconscious will eventually follow your lead. Give it a shot.

This is the bottom line of everything we've discussed. Nails serve as a form of protection, and the habit of biting them is usually a direct consequence of resentment toward one specific parent. Nicholas has a perfectly valid reason to believe that, while everyone else should probably take a moment to reflect on their own lives.
Once you reach that realization, things actually get much harder because now you have to figure out how to deal with the core issue—how to handle that intense frustration and the bitterness toward a parent. How do you actually establish a sense of security and find peace of mind? You either need incredible willpower, serious self-work, or professional help to help dig through all that mental clutter... otherwise, I don't see much chance for success.
Unfortunately, there isn't some magic pill that can kill off a person's passivity or simply wipe away the grime from the human psyche...

Hannah Patel said:I saw on a few different websites that it should be February 5th in Ljubljana, but according to the official site, that date is actually reserved for some other city in the EU.

Hmm, where did you hear that? The closest thing I can find is Vienna... but everything seems to be out of reach for me right now, including Vienna... and Ljubljana would probably be my best bet if anything works out... man, what a mess.😢

Ugh... looks like it’s probably not happening for me. That's a bummer.

Kenneth Edwards3 said:I'm trying to figure out what the vibe is like, because I might head over to Vienna for the concert.🙂 😎 😁 👋

And when exactly are you thinking about going?

That English version of America is a total wreck 😁 😁 😁

swiftmaker20 said:There was only one casualty in your story... and even then, it was the guy whose anatomy they tried to take, but apparently, things were just "too firm." That's the sheer power of the male libido for you! 😬

Actually, there were a few of them, from what I've read. For instance, two of them ended up backing out, so the guy just ended up having a drink with them later on alone. 😁

like Rammstein - Dalai Lama

swiftmaker20 said:The happy campers... 😁

Who exactly was he "chilling out"? 😁 😁

The people he was murdering.

swiftmaker20 said:Isn't "Mein Teil" basically just a song about those two guys? It's about one of them killing the other after they had that sexual encounter involving eating the victim's anatomy. 😬

I can't quite wrap my head around the name right now... It was Armin and... 🤔

They’ve actually gone and released t-shirts with a knife and fork on them now... Honestly, it's just pure madness. 😁

The whole saga with Armin Meiwes, that cannibal, and Brandes, the computer tech who actually reached out to him, is just pure madness. It’s honestly sickening. The way that guy would freeze people only to toss them into a boiling tub until they bled out... it’s absolutely depraved.

was du isst
und Ihr wisst

Es ist Mein Teil!!!

Hehe, I’ve been singing this all day long, and honestly, everyone at my high school was giving me such a hard time because they absolutely can't stand German music. Meanwhile, I'm just sitting there with my Discman blasting "Du bist was du isst." 😁

They were just messing around, though; I can't believe how immature some people can be.
