Thursday released their debut album, Waiting, in late 1999 with original guitarist Bill Henderson, who left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Steve Pedulla. The band gained popularity with the release of their second album, Full Collapse, in 2001, and released their third album and major label debut, War All the Time, in 2003, which reached number seven on the US Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Thursday released their fourth album, A City by the Light Divided, in 2006, and two further albums, Common Existence and No Devolución, before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2011. In a January 2013 interview, Geoff Rickly confirmed that the band had actually disbanded. However, the band announced a reunion in 2016. Their reunion would conclude with a performance at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, NY in March 2019.
The band has been considered influential to the post-hardcore music scene in the 2000s, and is credited as one of the key bands to popularize the darker emo sound and screaming vocals which came to prominence at the time.

i could've sworn i lost you again
my reply
why do you still pretend
that you forgot me?
when my world began to fall
i had to turn and run
my cries echoed on and on
melancholy got in my throat
sadness alone would never change me
but someday
yeah maybe someday
soon you won't have to find me
when my world began to fall
i had to turn and run
when my world began to fall
my cries echoed on and on
and she asked me where have you been?
i could've sworn i lost you again
my reply
why do you still pretend
that you forgot me?
that you forgot me (4x)
when my world began to fall
i had to turn and run
when my world began to fall
my cries echoed on and on

The repeated lines "when my world began to fall, I had to turn and run, my cries echoed on and on" suggest a traumatic event or loss that caused the singer to retreat and become isolated. They may feel as though they are unable to share this pain with anyone else and are consumed by the weight of their sadness. The idea that sadness alone would never change them suggests that they have been struggling with these emotions for some time.
Overall, the lyrics of "This Sadness Alone" offer a poignant depiction of the complexities of grief and loss. The singer is struggling to come to terms with their pain and is left feeling forgotten, confused, and isolated in the face of this difficult experience.

Dear One, in nothing but love I must ask you the most important question of your life.
The Million-Dollar Question: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer and adulterer at heart.
If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there is good news!!! Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn. 3:16).
Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (It's no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior.
Please, today, repent (turn away from sin and strive to obey Jesus, live holy, depart from all iniquity like Jesus did) and put your faith in Jesus Christ as the only one who can save you from the judgement of God through His sacrifice on the cross. This is so urgent. You do not know when your last breath will be.
God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Eph. 2:8,9). He will give you a new heart that desires what is pleasing to God and the Holy Spirit will live inside you.
Then to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily (God speaks to you personally through the Scriptures) and obey it.
I love you. I beg you. Do not delay.
