Take me up tight
Strung up like a kite
Dumb, wicked, and white
Love me in spite
and if I betray our lonely nights spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
Would we ever fight when I'm away?
Did your mother always seem to hate me?
I'm sicker every day and now I'm terrified of talking to my friends only to stay still
Dreaming of our first born and your hair covered in popcorn
You never leave
You never leave
You never leave
You leave me up tight
Strung up like a kite
Dumb, wicked, and white
Love me in spite
and if I betray our lonely nights spent out like a light
With no kiss goodnight
Would we ever fight when I'm away?

i realise now that i relate to this song more than i have before
i first found this song 3 years ago, i used it to cry everything out, i always felt better afterwards
until a point where i let go, i attempted, landed in the mental hospital, singing this song was the only way to keep my sanity
my mental health improved when i got out, 2 years later i get married, my husband works night shift
now im spending my nights with the lights on yet nobodys home, with no kiss goodnight,
its lonely
i love him, but i feel so so alone every night
its affected my mental health negatively, along with my hormonal imbalance from pregnancy, i get very irritable, we've had some arguments
his parents don't want to respect that i don't want visitors in the hospital
did they always seem to hate me, im sicker every day
and now all i talk about is my firstborn, like this is my entire identity now, who i once was is going to die very soon
i dont want to lose myself, it makes me want to just be on my own for the rest of my life
but i dont want to leave, ill never leave
im sorry for this weird hard-to-understand rant im just not in a great place right now

this is the kind of song that is played at the end of a movie that makes you question everything about the movie and then you start thinking about your life and you're having deep thoughts making up hypotheticals of what could have been and then you try to rationalize who you are as a human being (or not a human being i don't know your situation). that's what this song made me feel.

its the 52hz worlds loneliest whale. a whale call has been heard during the migration season of blue whales and fin whales, but the call is at a very unique frequency that cant be compared to any other species. it seems to be the only individual with this call, hence describing it as the worlds loneliest whale :(

This song feels like the dreamlike state you enter after something terrible happens. You try so hard to pretend it didn't happen. You create this perfect world in your mind and just stay there. You start to notice small things out of place but you push them aside to try and keep the fantasy alive. You're terrified of talking to your friends and family coz you're afraid that they'll break it. But eventually, the reality of it gets too much for you and you have to wake up.

I can’t tell you how nervous I actually was. It was a usual Friday afternoon, my high school scheduling a football game and a dance in the gymnasium afterward. My hair was up, make up finished, cute dress on, and heels to match. I thought I had overdone it, already done paying at the admission stand to get in while looking for my friends and that specific boy in mind. My mind was racing a mile a minute, but it shouldn’t have. I mean; I was already comfortable and dating this dork; so why exactly did my heart race like it was going to burst out of my chest? And then, I saw him. All those worries of ‘what if I overdid this?’, ‘does this dress suit me?’, ‘will he like my make up?’ disappeared as soon as I saw him wave me over, smile that adorable smile of his, and get me sat down to watch the game by him. The first thing he said to me? “You look amazing!” I can’t tell you how the game was going because honestly, I didn’t pay any attention to it. I was far too fixated on this cutie who was currently cracking jokes and goofing off with his bandmates to care about whether or not my hometown team was winning against our rivals. The game finished up, we headed down off of the bleachers and towards the gymnasium. Our English teacher was there, the look on her face to see us there nonetheless than joyful. She’d suspected we were together before either of us had even made a move on one another- it was no surprise she probably has a third eye for potential ‘what if’s?’. We headed inside. The lights were dimmed, there was a DJ, our friends greeted us and we all talked amongst ourselves for a bit of time. Soon after, I was entertained enough by the balloons decorating the gym floor, picking up one and tossing it into the air. Before I could even bop it back up into the air once more, he caught it, of course. The disadvantages of being a small girlfriend- but an advantage for my tall boyfriend. He smirked, raised the balloon over his head and teased me to get it back. I laughed, stood on my toes and did my utmost best to get that balloon back as if it depended on my life. Finally, I took a step back in that dimly lit gym and looked at him. Those hazel-green eyes of his held so much happiness, his smile was brighter than any of the stars and moon that shone that night. We both just took those few milliseconds to stare at one another. And then I realized I could hear my heartbeat; it was racing as wildly as ever. In those few moments I knew I’d fallen in love with him right then and there. We didn’t dance much at all, instead opting to sit on the bleachers provided and hold hands while sharing shy smiles and adoring laughter. Some might regret not dancing, but I don’t at all. Sitting there, I felt as if we had all the privacy we needed to sit close to one another and talk. Starting off as just some friends on the playground in Elementary, losing contact in middle school, rekindling a friendship once more in high school freshman year, and having the fateful chance of walking together down the halls to go to our shared History class together, we’d grown so much. Last night, at 1 in the morning, we talked about how we’re going to get married in the few upcoming years and what baby names we adored. He’s my boyfriend of nearly 3 years now; he’s my soulmate and my other half. I won’t be giving him up for as long as I can keep him. Here’s hoping I get to walk down the aisle to see his loving face, wake up every morning to see our children giggling and playing, slow dance in the living room at three in the morning with the night sky as our audience and a delicate hum on both of our lips while we hold each other close, grow grey-haired and wrinkles around our eyes because we couldn’t help but smile seeing the other in our younger days. I love you to the moon and back, Tristen. Thank you for showing me how love is really meant to be.

@honeyblush_2714

I remember feeling alive when I first heard this song. It was a bitter cold day, cloudy, and with small pockets of rain here and there. This really special girl I knew showed me this song. It was on the bus ride back home from school. I remember the exact stretch of road, exact time, what the worn out leather bus seats felt like, and how the rain sung its own melody through the windows. I’d say around 2:28 I happened to look at her as she silently sung along. That exact moment was when my stomach and chest realized what I hadn’t. It was that this person was going to be something special to me. In hindsight, she really did live up to that. However, I never really told her how much she meant to me, or even now, how much she still does. I see it as selfish if I were to tell her now how both sorry and grateful I am. Even so I’ll take my chances.

If you happen to see this J, I intend on keeping my promises. I’m trying to be someone you would’ve been proud of. Oh and please, please never stop creating your art. The small pieces of art I have of yours are small doodles but they bring me so much somber happiness. Thank you for everything. I’m sorry for everything.

This song reminding me of my first and only love that went on for seven years with my best friend. And yeah, I still do love him, it’s just that we don’t talk anymore. I wonder what the hell went wrong. We went from visiting each other hours on end, talking about anything we wanted every single day, and becoming each other’s favorite people, to constantly avoiding each other because of one stupid fight, and pretending those precious years we spent with each other never happened. Yeah I want to go up to him but for some reason I can’t. If only I had the courage to speak to him. It’s been almost two years since we last talked and my heart still aches. We promised each other that’d we’d be together forever. I know that sounds corny but I really thought that would happen. I guess everyone was right, promises exist to be broken.

@dark_lynx5132

I truly hope that one day you two reconcile and go back to how you were. It sounds so painful to be yearning for the past for so long, especially with how important that relationship was to you. Just thinking about losing one of my friends makes me upset, so I can't even comprehend how awful that must be to go through. I'm sorry that happened to you.
at the very least, I hope that you can grow around this loss, and eventually accept it as part of your life; something good that happened, but is over now and you are better for it. I don't know what's happened since you commented this, but I wish you the very best of luck on your journey, stranger <3

Just wanted y’all to know that I found this song maybe 3 years ago, and I found it from this boy. Of course, by starting this off with “this boy”, i’m sure you have an idea of where this is going. So yes, I caught feelings for him. But it was fast. Incredibly, and dangerously fast. I wasn’t too sure what it was, but when looking back at it.... I was falling in love. I met up with him one Wednesday in July, 2018. We’ve been good friends for a couple months now- and we never really got to see each other since he went to a different school in our area. We met up at the park. He lived out in the country- and I lived in town. We both didn’t have our drivers license since we were so young, so I walked as he rode his bike there for maybe 6 to 8 miles (damn). I remember walking up to him- with this song playing in my earbuds to calm me down. He looked up. His eyes were piercing, electric blue and sleep deprived. Brown curly cue hair and the cutest button nose you’ll ever see in your life. We just sat there at the red bench- talking. For hours. Then as the summer continued, I didn’t think he liked me back, so I distanced myself with the intention of protecting my heart. I was gone for a couple months. Once I was healed enough, me and this boy returned to being friends in maybe September of 2018. And we were, we were great friends.... when I was in a relationship. If I wasn’t, I acted as if I was his- and honestly, he acted as if he was mine. He’d call me pretty and say he missed me, and i’d call him cute and say I missed him too. We’d go out to football games and he’d bring a blanket to keep me warm, and his puppy to give me extra company. We would sit at the top left corner of the bleachers, and under the warm sunset glow I swear to god- I’ve never seen something more beautiful than him. We also went to the town fair together around May, 2019. He was too scared to go on the “scary” rides, so we just ended up walking to the grade school park (since it’s away from civilization). The sun was setting and it was getting dark- and we cuddled at yet another red bench as the moons glow blanketed over us. He said if I could tell him how the eclipse works- he’d love me endlessly. I knew he wasn’t being all too serious, but for some reason I remembered that exact moment really well. But of course, we were busy people- and we never ever officially dated. We didn’t meet up much but when we did it was like magic, every. single. time. It’s been maybe a little bit more than two years and a half now- going on three years of this on and off nonsense. It was my birthday, November 29th. And you know what I wanted? I wanted to see him. And I did. He had his drivers license now, so we went to see a movie. He brought a blanket (again? how sweet), and one of his hoodies with his last name printed on the back. The theatre had those chairs that you could recline- and we sat in the back. It was late, maybe 9 o’clock if i’m thinking correctly, so I was a lil tired. I laid on top of him, and he held me like it was the last time he ever would. Then he started to do this thing where he’d press his face against mine. We were whispering back and forth about how much we “hated” each other. With our lips slightly brushing up against eachother, I felt the tension. Those small breaks in between our sentences began to grow longer, so we were just laying there. Face to face, lips slightly parted. So I whispered back- “just do it”. He responded with “what?” and I only persisted- “just, do it”. “oh.” and then- we kissed. It only took two years- but we kissed. And then that was our thing. For that day, at least. As he dropped me off at my house- the last thing he did was kiss me. I kept his hoodie and this song was on repeat for hours that night. And then within only a week, we didn’t speak to each other again. And that’s when I realized, no matter how much we wish or hope, some stories just don’t have happy endings.

You're absolutely right... In fact, I'd argue that almost no stories have happy endings. However, it doesn't sound like yours is exactly over unless you want it to be. You said that you've gone a few months without speaking.. Maybe this is just another those? But like I said, it's only over if you want it to be. Unless something else has transpired within the last two months of you writing this comment. Maybe he made up a bunch of excuses as to why he's not ready for a relationship, but you knew that he was lying and got her to admit that she doesn't like you anymore despite leading you on for 5 months..? lol yeah that's what happened to me...

I’m 18 and for the past year + (updated due to me finally finding my previous documentation) I’ve been worried out of my mind that something is wrong with my health. My doctor turned me away the first time. I got a second opinion, they were concerned and are referring me to get tests done anytime soon. Nobody really knows how afraid I am. I’m terrified. I want to sob. I just want to be pain free and okay. I’ve turned to music for comfort and this one has been stuck on my mind lately. Thank you Ricky and the Honeysticks for setting my mind at ease for a little bit

Update 1-11-23: today I got an ultrasound done. The woman who attended me was extremely kind. It was comforting. I’ll soon get my results. A part of me thinks that it’s going to be nothing. In one way that would be good because that’s great for my health, but in another way I’m anxious. Because if it’s nothing then what I feel will remain unlabeled. I don’t want to seem like I’m making it up. Let’s see how it goes.

Update 1-13-23: the estimated date for me to get my results was 1/18 but I got a call today that they want to see me on 1/16. I’m nervous. The days are going by so fast.
