Roar - I Can’t Handle Change

That opening is something special

you know it's getting real bad again when you found yourself coming back to this song again

This song feels like uncontrollably balling your eyes out about something you can’t change, but you really wish you could.

I love the way the singer takes deep breaths inbetween the end notes at 2:28, becuase it sounds like sobs of breathe when your crying

“Nothing I do is ever good” that’s why I love this song

The verse “still lately I begin to shake, for no reason at all” hits so hard for me because I get seizures and like ever since my first seizure, it’s been so hard to like accept the change, the change of how you have to be careful wherever you go and take medicine that might make you more agitated. To be honest for me the true struggle with seizures isn’t the danger but the struggle is everyone’s reaction to it, they’re scared to be around me because they don’t want to witness me and don’t know if I’m gonna make it or not. Edit: Thank you all for the overwhelming support. Ngl I didn’t expect this to get much attention but it’s nice to know you’re not alone. Thank you!

"I can't handle change" "hanging out where I don't belong" "Nothing I do is ever good enough" "Leave me alone" "I want to go home now" "I begin to shake for no reason at all" These lyrics are the reason why this is one of my top favorite songs. It just takes all of the things I think and feel and turn it into an incredible song. Thank you Roar for this.

Why i would be a bad cashier:

It’s weird, when I listen to this song I feel comfortable, sad, nostalgic, kinda... angry? And like I miss something... but I don’t know what. It also makes me happy cause I think of all the good times when the live was easy. It’s the perfect song to just lie with headphones on your bed and drift away. I love this song so much.

i used to be obsessed w this group when i was 14. it was one of the hardest times in my life, i skipped classes all time, was a F student, i was fully alone and dissapointed. there was even a suicide attempt. during all this time i was just enamored with roar, they kinda helped me out. idk why but it makes me nostalgic in a very strange way. im so gratefull that they exist.

Radiohead,ROAR,blink-182,green day. Guiding me thru my depressions lately very grateful that this kinds of bands exist.

2:09 i love the gasp 😭

I love this song so much. I love how it sounds like "I'm all on my own now" after it says "leave me alone". I love the intro. I love the instrumental. I love the lyrics. I am in love with this song.

This song was about my ex, who struggled to be good enough for his parents. This song was about me, when I failed to have a solid group of friends in 12 years of living in another country. This song is about many, many other situations and people in my life. We all are scared to not be enough, to be alienated, to be lost. Its incredible how well made this is.

This hits different when it’s dark outside

play this at 11:57:20 tonight and then the new year begins when the beat drops lol

This song just pulls me into a emotional state I didn't even know I had...

this song just is anxiety to me, the shaking, the screaming, the fear, the guilt, the shame, the anger, pushing everyone away. "I can't help but repeat myself, 'I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!'" lashing out because the world is blaming you for this, like you wanted this. "still lately I begin to shake for 'no reason at all'" feels so awful, I know its all in my head, I know I'm overreacting, I'm the inconvenience, I'm foul because of a chemical imbalance in my brain that I was born with. Somehow I chose that, chose to be like this, before I ever opened my eyes, its all my fault. THATS what anxiety is, its not just the shaking, the crying, the panic attacks, it is shame. It is shame.

the start of the song really is just UGHHHH, the way the song focuses on one side of the headphone is oddly headaching yet also mesmerizing in some way. its so comforting yet so irritating at the same time its beautiful

i'm happy that i properly listened to this song after i finished battling depression (and won!) because im pretty sure if i heard this at my lowest i wouldn't be here
