I've been fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now through all the hurt pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again, my world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love & pride
Because of that, it's kill in me inside
It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts, I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything, everything
Everything that matters to me, matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love & pride
Because of that, it's kill in me inside
It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
Ah-ah-ah-ah, tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
Ah-ah-ah-ah, letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
Ah-ah-ah-ah, tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
Ah-ah-ah-ah, letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
The song "Komm süsser Tod," which means "Come sweet death" in English, is a melancholic song about a character who has made some regretful choices in their life that have led them to believe they can never love or be loved again. They have hurt the ones they love, and now they feel that the only solution is to end their life. The character wishes they could turn back time to undo their mistakes. The guilt and regret are all-consuming, and they feel that everything they have lost is the most important thing in the world.
The opening lines "I know, I know, I've let you down, I've been a fool to myself" establish the character's regret and sense of betrayal towards the ones they love. They thought they could live for themselves, but now they realize that the love and respect of their loved ones are more important than anything. The lines "What's done is done, it feels so bad, what once was happy now is sad" emphasize the character's feelings of hopelessness and despair.
The chorus "It all returns to nothing, it just keeps tumbling down" represents how the character feels their life is falling apart, and they are unable to stop it. The line "I just keep letting me down" is a repeating refrain and suggests that the character has lost faith in themselves and their ability to make things right. The song's themes of guilt, regret, and the desire to turn back time are relatable to many listeners who have made choices they regret and long to undo.

“When Shinji is near me, all I do is cause him pain. I thought It was better when I did nothing at all.
Were you afraid of Shinji?
I didn’t believe that anyone could love me.
I never deserved to be loved.”
Gets me every time.

About a year and a half ago, I was sort of homeless for two weeks. I fled my home because I was at risk of physical harm from my stepfather and would end up sleeping in a van or the homes of family and family friends. It wasn't pleasant, but I fear if I stayed home my life might have been in danger.
This event was the final straw of years of putting up with this from him. We got him arrested.
As I watched the arrest I actually listened to this song. The original song I chose was Mr. Blue Sky but just as I stepped out of my room something told me I should change it to this song instead. I wrote a YouTube comment right after on these events and got mostly kind words. Deleted the comment, not sure why. I think I was paranoid.
In the days that I was going between houses, there was a night or two where I slept outside on the lawn in a very remote area (this was by choice; I wanted to see the stars) and my friend streamed the final two episodes of NGE and the entirety of TEOE over two days to me.
Yui Ikari's quotes on happiness being possible as long as you chose to live and that everything would be alright got me through those times.
In the present day, I'm still accustoming to normal life, but I think I've got most of it down. I got to pursue my very nonacademic hobbies like writing and the electric guitar again. I get to listen to music whenever I want, and even play some on my electric guitar too. I get to invite family and even friends sometimes for the holidays, or even hang out with them on random days after school! I can walk to the store, I can wear what I want, I can watch what I want, I can live as I please. I even accidentally came out as gay to my mom and she didn't really mind. As I speak I am still on my way to get full justice while applying to colleges and doing alright in school. Years ago, I did not think I would be here today-- alive and well!
Yes, I still flinch at my shadow and other people. I still can't stand listening to my music even quietly without headphones (I used to get in trouble for that). There are many bad days, but there are many good ones too. I still don't know why this song of all the songs was the one that I listened to that fateful day, but I'm happy it was this one. I also listened to The Heady Feeling of Freedom (song at the end of NGE(?)) a lot that day too, but afterwards.
Most of my childhood was lost to living in constant fear. I cannot get that time back-- but I can make up for it doubled! This is what I have done from that day on, and I hope that I shall keep it up for ever and ever.
"As long as the sun, the earth, and the moon still exist, everything will be alright. After all, you are still alive, so you will always have the chance to be happy."
"Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live."

I don't really have anyone to talk about nge and my experiences with it so I will just post a comment here lol
This is song is impossible for me to listen without crying, it's suck a melancholic melody and no song made me feel like i was empty inside, like my existence was ceasing and that I would finally encounter peace
Nge is a great anime and made me emotional almost every episode, I'm grateful for everything the show has showed me. Recently I've started again to feel like i was empty, like i was worthless but seeing characters that feel the same thing, but in different ways made me feel blissful. I don't really like venting to people cuz they will either misunderstand everything i said and will feel pitiful of me, i don't want your pity i want a shoulder to cry on, and it seems like Evangelion was this shoulder I could cry
I was never good in putting my emotions into words, but after watching this masterpiece, i now have some words to express myself
People joke saying Evangelion gave them depression, but Evangelion made me feel in peace, like i finally realized some things i never thought about
It's really sad that it's not that popular in some places, because i think it should
Evangelion portrays perfectly how you just want to not exist, not like death or have never been born but just to magically disappear, and appear in an empty world where it's just you and your self
Death is just too *permanent*, it takes effort and sometimes it's painful, I think we, humans, tend to just say to the other what is easier for them to understand
Something i also feel identified in is the congratulations scene, for me it's about shinji finally realizing he doesn't need to apologize to exist, he can just be
He doesn't need a purpose to exist, but in the end of Evangelion i saw that he couldn't still accept that, it's hard to accept things that you just realized, and slowly trying to digest it is called "healing yourself"
Sorry for the long text, i have way more things to say but i will stop right here

"Fun" fact: the original lyrics to this song, written by Anno, were actually even darker than these ones. I feel like they tied into the main themes of the series and Shinji's character more so than these lyrics do. They've been translated into English by fans. Here's a translation of the original lyrics:
I feel uneasy.
I feel uneasy.
I'm afraid of being hated by everyone.
I'm afraid of being hurt.
But I'm more afraid of hurting other people.
But I end up hurting them.
I hurt the people I like.
That's why I won't like people.
That's why I hurt myself.
Because I'm scared.
Because I hate myself very much.
I mustn't come to like other people.
That's why I hurt myself.
Tenderness is extremely cruel.
If I yield my heart, I will be broken.
If our hearts touch, that person will be hurt.
So, I have no recourse but to be broken.
No recourse but to return to nothing.
Let's return to nothing.
Let's return to nothing.
That is the place filled with tenderness.
That is the place without the pain of truth.
The place without wavering of the heart.
Let's return to nothing.
Let's return to nothing.
Let's return to nothing.
Let's return to nothing....(repeat)

I had very similar feelings, after EOE, I sat in silence for half an hour trying to figure out what I had just watched and whether the ending was good or bad....
That was 5 months ago and I still don't know 😂
@ghostghost514
Shinji: No one understands me.
Rei: You never understood anything.
Shinji: I thought this was supposed to be a world without pain, and without uncertainty.
Rei: That's because you thought everyone else felt the same as you did.
Shinji: You betrayed me! You betrayed my feelings!
Rei: You misunderstood from the beginning — you simply believed what you wanted to believe.
Shinji: Nobody wants me. So they can all just die.
Rei: Then what is your hand for?
Shinji: Nobody cares whether I live or die. Nothing will change. So they can all just die.
Rei: Then what is your heart for?
Shinji: It would be better if I never existed. I should just die too.
Rei: Then why are you here?
Shinji: ... Is it okay for me to be here?
(Silence.)

Hey man, I know I’m just some stranger in the internet, but I’m sorta in a similar situation and just want you to know I wish you the very best. They’ll see that you tried your best in the end. They’ll see how much you really care, and in the end it’ll all work out. It may not be immediately, but it will happen. Just take some time to evaluate yourself and how to improve. There’s always a way up when you’ve hit rock bottom.
Whatever mistake you have made does not define you brother, rather it is how well you pick yourself back up that counts. Show them you care.
I’m rooting for you.
