The Guides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can’t live up to the love you have for yourself
I feel a hole in my heart everyday I feel a hole in my heart but whose to say. That this could’ve unfolded any other way I feel a hole in my heart and I won’t sew it up
Can’t blame you for walking out the door I was part of the problem. Can’t go back to the way we were before cus we’ll hit rock bottom
Signs of life left to our own devices. Pave the way towards a foreseeable mess. Internalizing an eternal conflict. Everything must come to an end
The lyrics of The Guides' song "Bottom Of My Heart" convey a sense of introspection and self-reflection about a failed relationship. The opening lines express a realization that the singer has been blaming others for the problems in the relationship, but now understands that they were also at fault. The line "Ricochet from a love that hit a wall" suggests that their love was strong but ultimately met with obstacles that they took for granted.
The chorus delves into the singer's feelings of inadequacy, as they admit that they cannot live up to the love their partner has for themselves. They describe feeling a constant hole in their heart, questioning if things could have unfolded differently but also acknowledging that they won't try to mend it. This conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance of the emotional pain they are experiencing.
The second verse explores the consequences of their actions and the inability to go back to how things were before. They admit that they were part of the problem and that returning to the past would only result in hitting rock bottom. The line "drifting through an emotional minefield" suggests that their emotions are in turmoil and unpredictable.
The final lines of the song reflect on the fleeting nature of everything in life. The phrase "signs of life left to our own devices" implies that they are left to navigate their own destinies, making mistakes along the way. They internalize a perpetual conflict, perhaps between their desires and the reality of the situation. The lyrics conclude with the notion that everything must eventually come to an end.
Overall, "Bottom Of My Heart" captures the emotions of regret, self-blame, and the acknowledgement of a failed relationship. It speaks to a sense of longing and the complexities of human connections.
Line by Line Meaning
Acting out like it's someone else’s fault. But you dot understand it. Ricochet from a love that hit a wall. And we took it for granted.
Blaming others as if they are responsible, but you fail to comprehend it. The love we had rebounded and failed. We never appreciated it.
I just can’t live up to the love you have for yourself
I am unable to match the level of self-love you possess.
I feel a hole in my heart everyday I feel a hole in my heart but whose to say. That this could’ve unfolded any other way I feel a hole in my heart and I won’t sew it up
Every day, I sense an emptiness within me. It persists, and who knows, maybe things couldn't have been different. I acknowledge this void, and I choose not to mend it.
Can’t blame you for walking out the door I was part of the problem. Can’t go back to the way we were before cus we’ll hit rock bottom
I cannot fault you for leaving because I contributed to the issue. We can't return to our previous state because we will only reach a worse situation.
Drifting through an emotional mind field
Navigating through a hazardous ground of emotions.
Signs of life left to our own devices. Pave the way towards a foreseeable mess. Internalizing an eternal conflict. Everything must come to an end
We are left to figure things out on our own, leading to a predictable chaos. We internalize an everlasting struggle. Eventually, everything concludes.

Great informative video, thank you.
So I went indoor climbing and really enjoyed it.
As I wish to take up indoor climbing, i am wondering if I would be best hiring it saving cash in the long run by purchasing some gear now.
I am currently looking at the Scarpa Velocity or La Spotiva Trantulace as a first pair.
Are they both ideal for top rope climbing and bouldering?
Thanks.

This is actually a very well done basic guide , covering the most simple things in a very easy to understand and quick way. Not very deep in detail , and mono brand , but I would say the advice is quite sound and on point for people looking to buy their first shoes . Nice job!
@BingusFodder
My first pair of climbing shoes were probably too big. After they broke in there was a gap from the front of the shoe to my toes. But still I managed to get up to a v7 in them. And I felt secure on the wall even doing slabs with small footholds. Comfort is far more important when your new to climbing, than any gains you may get in foot security from tight shoes. Another great thing about comfortable shoes; you can focus more easily on good technique, instead of powering through a painful climb.
That is to say, I agree with this video.
@benja_mint
respect on progressing to V7 faster than you could wear out a single pair of shoes. thats some pretty fast progress!
@benivan3561
Love the idea behind these videos, and also love the presentation! There is definitely a need for this in the community.
Thank you!

Things I also found out to be helpful and rather important to me:
-sturdy velcro straps (some climbing shoes come with laughable flimsy straps, like the orange/white one in the middle here and friends of mine have ripped those)
-sturdy put-on-loop construction (some shoes may actually rip when pulling too hard on their loops/when they get older)
-easy to re-sole construction (well constructed climbing shoes can easily be re-soled 2-3 times to save money and brake in time for new shoes)
-full rubber heel (makes hooking more secure, needs to fit more exact tho)
@jacobrohr5903
bro just say what model it is no need to beat around the bush

Very solid guide! I went straight into a pair of Solutions as my first ever shoe and although they are not the most comfortable pair you can get, they felt absolutely incredible on my feet and gave me a sense of security that I didn't experience in other more "beginner" friendly pairs. I'd say that, besides comfort, ensuring a snug and even fit is the most important thing. If your wallet allows and the fit feels nice, don't be afraid to go for an advanced pair of shoes right out of the gate!
@LittleMur410
This is such a great video. No bias, no fluff, just straight up quality insight. Thanks!

I'd like to add, as a shoe/boot/climbing shoe fitter, the materials the shoe is made of make a big difference in the fit, feel, and performace of the shoe too. For example the newer knit style shoes, like the zenit shown, are really nice and breathable, but are incredibly unforgiving in the way they fit as they don't stretch and mold to the foot as easily and can produce more painful pressure points than either a real or synthetic suade.
@clairebivore
I would also add - for absolute beginners, it's best to go with a comfortable pair of shoes - most foot holds you'll be using on easy climbs are fairly big anyway! Better to be comfortable at first, then size down as your feet get more used to climbing and wearing climbing shoes.
