Always Have
Count Me Out Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you trough feeling sorry for yourself? now tell me who's
At fault for this. have you had enough of trying to place the blame so tell
Me that i've let you down again, when you've done it to yourself so many
Times before. surrounded by the problems that you made. now look
Away from them again the way you always have. you think that you can
Make them go away. how long will that last? how long? look away from
Them again the way you always have. blame everyone but you, what are
You running from? so tell me that you've changed. when you're still...
Still the same as you've always been, when the last place that you look is
At yourself, never thinking that you're wrong. have you had enough of




Trying to place the blame? so tell me that i've let you down. can you tell
Me who's at fault?

Hey all, I want to share a few experiences I've had. <3


Last year I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then an Atheist."



I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.



I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer over a dozen times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and So much more.



Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and I believe we should do our best to follow the 10 commandments.



Always have hope.. I believe Love Is The Answer. <3

I love the symbolism behind Helen’s glasses. She takes them off in the beginning, after lightening the mood by laughing with Kendrick. We then see a complete tone switch when she removes them and states Kendrick texted her at 2am saying, β€œI feel like I’ve fallen”. She then asks why he feels that way.

This moment to me represented the brief moments in therapy or in life where we can be real with how we’re feeling with ourselves and to others with no masks on.

Kendrick replies to her question with, β€œlife”. That’s why he feels like he’s fallen. The song then begins to play and we see a representation of Kendrick’s inner child stumble onto the screen.

The sad inner child then transforms into an adult Kendrick who still has to deal with the unprocessed emotions & grief leftover from life. As we continue the journey thru Kendrick’s psyche, the emotions expressed on Helen & Kendrick’s faces as he tells the story are powerful.

The most impactful part of this video to me are the final scenes. At 2:50 we see Kendrick look at Helen with a sorrowful expression. Almost as if he wants her to say something that will console his pain. As their eyes meet we see Helen look down sympathetically as she’s left speechless by Kendrick’s testimony.

She then proceeds to put on the glasses again, as if the session is over, the facade of not being able to really show up for Kendrick is back up. Kendrick then turns back around to the piano as if disappointed in the lack of a response but not shocked.

Lastly, we see him in the end getting comforted by the inner child we see stumble on screen in the beginning.

This to me was a powerful testimony of how no matter how much you might want people to show up for you and support you through your difficult times, sometimes the only person that can comfort us or save us is ourselves.

@@serpentstailvenom4646 Mr.Moral and the Big steppas. The first half is him admitting his wrongs and basically showing he’s human while the second half is almost a complete juxtaposition. Took me a couple listens to really pull everything together
