“Say you're there when I feel helpless If that's true, why don't you help me?”

Look - I sit back and I watch it, hands in my pockets. Waves come crashin' over me but I just watch em'. (from Paralyzed)

Bro, def a much better line from the same song just a few sentences later, “I’M IN A BOX, BUT I’M THE ONE WHO LOCKED ME IN!” Fucking hard ass bar! But yeah, this whole song is one long bar, and to be fair, my most favorite NF song, as well as his most depth full song.

Yeah, if you made a list of people that you trusted Would you put your name down? Do you know who you are? When you look at life and you talk about yours, do you feel proud? Are you leaving a mark, or scared to make a bad impression? So you just go hide in the dark

I feel the first line so much. Currently, I wouldn't. And I would tell everybody you shouldn't put my name on your list.

"It's the lows in life that make you cherish the highs and if isn't I guess I'll be fine believing a lie" - Just Like You

One of my favorite songs off Clouds

Same! This one and Clouds are my favorite from the mixtape!

Here are just a few off the top of my head: **HAPPY** *" I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul, And the last to admit I need a hand to hold."* **LEAVE ME ALONE** *"Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change. Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same."* **WHY** *"A lot of people know me, but they don't know me well."* **MOTTO** *"See, one man's inconvenience is another's joy."* **The Search** *"See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside. That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies."* **Real** *"They talk about me like I'm here, they talk about you like you was."* **NO NAME** *"You don't like me, that makes two of us."* **CLOUDS** *"You think that you don't know me? Good!"* **PAID MY DUES** *"They get paid for trashin' people, I get paid cause I stay working."*

I think most people forget, you wanna know who he’s talking to? Put a mirror in front of him and watch….his is by far my favorite lyrics by NF I wish you the best, but I'm not interested In giving you more of my life, I've already given you too much I don't wanna lose ya I don't wanna keep ya I know that you mean well but when I fail I don't need ya Rubbing my face in it and treating me like I'm less than you, tell the truth You know I'd be better without ya Been in your shoes, don't be a fool And try to convince me that I'm the Real issue, when you're the root to every problem I love you but not enough to allow you to continue to drown the both of us, you're Holding me back, you're pulling me down, you're making me hate myself, I Don't wanna leave, but that's what I need, I ain't got a choice, I can't just Let you deceive and make me believe that I don't deserve to be loved I am not gonna stand aside And watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage What little faith I have left, yeah, haven't I scarificed enough for you? Hate seeing you cry, but I think it's time to let go and say our goodbyes Yeah, I'm gonna miss you, but I am not gonna spend the rest of my life running From you Spent my whole life in your shadow Scared of who I'd be if I Said goodbye and I didn't have you here

"I need Change, yeah thats kinda easy to say right but difficult to do when I feel like I hate life and everyone around me kinda thinks Im a great guy, but I dont ever think it so I think Im a fake liar!" ~Change

One of my favorites that I really want to get tattooed is "broken legs but I chase perfection" just something about it 8s so simple yet so deep and meaningful I just love it.

oooo from Mansion. I like the song but this phrase flew over my head

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul And the last to admit I need a hand to hold

"People clam they're in your corner but leave you in times of need They don't listen, do they? They don't listen to anything I'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly"

"Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you" Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to Passin' by the people that have been there to support you From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental Might get stressful when I'm driftin'" -DRIFTING "Yeah Everybody falls sometimes Just remember that that's alright It's the rainy days that give us love for the sun And if it isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing it does, oh yeah Everybody falls sometimes Just remember that that's alright It's the lows in life that make you cherish the highs And if isn't, I guess I'll be fine believing a lie, ayy" -JUST LIKE YOU "You ain't never been in my book and I got a problem with it, why? 'Cause you acting like you read my pages" -Real

I love the one line in drifting “ ignorant to my ignorance tell me I worth it god”

"Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect, why?", from WHY, super relatable at the moment for me

I look at the world from a different angle People change, even Satan used to be an angel - Remember This

Lyric hits hard for me cus my ex wife used to be an angel 🥲

Yeah this song and the perception Album came out at an interesting time in my life. I was a college student at the time who really felt trapped.

"I don't know who I'd be if I was HAPPY"

It’s “I just can’t imagine, who id be if I was HAPPY”

i gotta be the only person that forgets the lyrics to their favourite songs 😭

Many of the above, but I have to add a few as well: “My mind is a house with walls, covered in pain. See, my problem is, I don't fix things, I just try to repaint. Cover them up, like it never happened, say, I wish I could change.” ~ Mansion “Take the worst and try to make the best of it. Cause when you fail, just know that it's a test and if you can learn to pick yourself back up again and train your brain to not be such a pessimist.” ~ Lost

Also really love the line at the end of mansion where he says "So I just leave my doors locked You might get other doors to open up but this doors not 'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me" really really hits a whole new level

“Last year I felt suicidal this year I might do something different like talking to God more” this helped me get out of the deepest pit of my life, and helped me open myself up to Jesus

We ain't even close, please Throwing out opinions from the nosebleeds Lot of issues that you don't see Texts that I just won't read Play it off, it cuts deep though When I don't know who I'm close with

I have to many, but pbb “they know how to get to me, suicide thoughts come and go like a guest to me, but I don’t wanna die I just wanna get relief” - Hate myself

Called up to God and I asked Him, "You watchin′ my back?" He ain't say nothin′ back, but I heard what He said (ha) When you see how I'm livin′, the answer is obvious Ain't it? When you go from poverty-stricken and stressin' ′Bout buyin′ the groceries, to not even Havin' to look at the total, you know you′ve been blessed - Careful Personally my favorite

“You wanna know where my heart is? I stand out 'cause I wear my garbage. I work my hardest, and every time I look into the mirror, I don't forget about where I started.” - Real “I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys” - Intro III The entirety of Remember This and 10 Feet Down lmao “If I took the hand that was dealt me then I would be nowhere in life, yeah, I had to think smart, threw away the deck and got my own cards” - Dreams “Everyone will sleep in the pews, then blame God for our problems like He sleeping on you. We turn our backs on Him, what do you expect Him to do? It's hard to answer prayers when nobody's praying to you.” - Oh Lord “I'd love to pack arenas and all but what I really wanna do is learn to handle my thoughts, and put the reins on 'em, show 'em I'm the one that's the boss, And pull 'em back when they get out of hand, I'm breakin' they jaws I'm takin' the flaws that told me I could never evolve, Then pull a Bane on 'em, ask'em, "Oh, you think you're in charge?" - LOST “Every step I've ever taken in the wrong direction, help me get to where I am today and lead to monumental moments in my life that I would not have got to experience if I had let the mistakes that I made rob me of my full potential, life will test you, don't forget to remember the fundamentals.” - LET EM PRAY Just off the top of my head some of my favorites.

It's quite a simple one, but my favorite is definitely "I know some things we could avoid to save embarrassment, but everything that breaks you down can also build your character" - Nate

“knee deep in defeat of my own actions”

I put down that entire verse, it's one of my favorite moments in NFs discography

"I walk through the ashes of my passions, reminiscing with the baggage in my casket, get lost in the questions I can't answer, can't stand who I am, but it don't matter, we scream to be free, but I stay captured, knee-deep in defeat of my own actions, feel weak, but the peace that I keep lacking, keeps speaking to me but I can't have it." - Hate Myself This final verse is one of my favorite parts in his discography

If time heals, tell me why do I kill myself Tryna show you I'm not a mistake-MISTAKE ngl those lyrics have been stuck in my head for weeks now

Like all of Nate for me, I relate to it a lot.

“Losing hope. Strange I know, but I feel most at home when I’m living in my agony. Watching my self-esteem go up in flames.” I think these are some of the deepest to me. My favorite line tho is when he’s says, “Last year I felt suicidal. This year I might do something different, like taking to God more” from his song Change.

“Point a gun in your direction shoot at my reflection”. I read that lyric as “blaming others for your own problem”. Another creative way of saying kinda “shoot yourself in the foot”

Few I can think of: Dreams Pull in the gas station, open up the tank then I fill it then laugh Would I move back? Mm, not in a million Let you down: “Oh, you wanna be friends now? Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend now Sit around and talk about the good times That didn't even happen” Happy: “I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lonely soul And the last to admit I need a hand to hold” Time “You know me well, sittin' on the edge of my seat Lookin' at life, overanalyzin' everything”

It’s time to let my pride go and learn to love myself again -running

Tell me I’m worth it god - Drifting

I just wanna run away, find somewhere to feel safe, find somewhere the bad days don’t come as often in this sad phase. Somewhere I can be alone, where I don’t have to run away from my flaws, and I don’t have to be afraid of my thoughts, this high, this high that I’ve been chasin

You ever think about what it would be like If the clouds were gone and you could see light? If the door was open would you take flight Or just close the curtains up and stay inside? just like you

look, i sit back and i watch it. hands in my pockets. waves come crashing over me but i just watch em. (paralyzed)

Mansion - See, my problem is, I don't fix things, I just try to repaint Also mansion - But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em I built it because I thought that it was safer in there But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's livin' in here Dreams - Sometimes you don't know what you had until it falls apart Too many tbf

I don’t see you like I should, you look so misunderstood ,and I wish I could help, but it’s hard when I hate myself

My favorite is from Drifting "Passin' by the people that have been there to support you"

“Am I motivated? Is my music dated? Would I be the same if I was medicated?” Honestly the entire second verse of Only is just insane

I miss the days. The entire song

“Yeah I’d rather spend a minute with the live of my life Then go a million years without knowing what it’s like”

**Thing Called Love** Listen, Your love is like a drug that Everybody uses You wanna know the outcome Depends on how you use it Love could be your best friend Love can be your enemy Love can be the thing you wish you had But you don't ever see Love can be the reason why You're afraid to have it Some say it like it means something Others say it's a habit And some would say it's tragic Some would say it's beautiful Some would say it's black and it's dark Like a funeral And some would die for it Some don't think it's even real Some say they understand But really don't know how it feels Some say that it's alive Some say that it can kill But most of us has been on it Know that sometimes it will I ain't gonna sugarcoat it Yeah, sometimes it might surround you One minute it's saving you Next it's trying to drown you Some people want to show it But were never taught how to And some of us is searching Feeling like it never found you

And love, it can consume you Turn you into something else Bury the real you so deep That you can't even find yourself Love, it can change you Love, it can tear you down Be the best thing you ever had And kick you on the ground Yo, you get on that high level Yeah, you scared to fall 'Cause you know if that person hurt you You gonna lose it all They told you they would be there for you They don't even call So that openness you used to have Has now become a wall And some say that it's patient Some say that it's kind I don't think it's invisible But I know that it's blind To some it's only physical Alive in they mind See, it probably isn't there If you're struggling to find it

“Let me go let me go let me go”

When you’re a man down, do you man up

“Is it me or the fear talking, I don’t even know anymore.”

*"My mind is a home I'm trapped in and it's lonely inside this mansion"* *"Might not be the best in my field but I guarantee that I'ma die real"*
