No TED Talk yet?
I guess it's obvious. Sounds like a letter to a bully. You can't get help, because they'll just hit you harder next time. When you cry, it only motivates them. So you go numb until it becomes safe to feel again.
Eventually, you learn that bullying was probably their coping mechanism, and you actually pity them. It's still not an excuse, but you can't be bothered to hate them for reacting that way so you wish then the best and move on.
Empathising with people can be a curse. It's worse because victims of bullying often end up forgiving them because they (the bully) was going through some stuff. They can put themselves in the other person's shoes and see how hard life must have been. At this point, the victim has probably considered suicide themselves.
They may be projecting a bit, or maybe that's as condescending as they can get, because it's hard to completely forgive someone who's made your life difficult for so long.
On the other hand, that may be the victim's sarcastic inner monologue that stems from pent-up resentment. This entire song could be a victim kicking their bully when they're down cz retaliation is fun (until you realise that you've stopped down to the other person's level.) I just watched a Nuclear Revenge video recently, so I say go for it...
It would be pretty cool if they were praying for their bully like that song (Pray for you by Jaron and the king road to love). I pray for a lot of people myself so I'm definitely projecting.
I wanna know what the AMV will look like. I can imagine “A Silent Voice” as the anime. Are there any older anime about dealing with bullies (or destroying them while laughing)?

don't mind me. i just need lyrics
wicked grin, evil eyes
this ain't a place of compromise
i surrender every time
or you'll strike me harder otherwise
blood, dripping down my lips
skin hanging off your fingertips
brand new day, but the same old shit
so lets just get this over with
used to hurt at first
but the constant repetition
dulled all of my senses
i'm the perfect victim
call me crazy but for you
i empathize
with each and every blow
i sigh, saying
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
even though
you haunt me
i'll make it out alive
you must
live a fucking nightmare
awake and in your dreams
looking for someone
to hold your misery
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
i'll pray for you tonight
i'll pray for you tonight
go ahead, knock me out
beat me down till i'm on the ground
make me scream and cry for help
it'll be a good way to relieve yourself
pain, i take in stride
you will never ever take away my pride
i get back up with my head held high
and it drives you nuts but at least you try
used to hurt at first
maybe i've just been conditioned
all the while you win
i pity your position
call me crazy but for you
i empathize
with each and every blow
i sigh, saying
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
even though
you haunt me
i'll make it out alive
you must
live a fucking nightmare
awake and in your dreams
looking for someone
to hold your misery
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
i'll pray for you tonight
i'll pray for you tonight
used to hurt at first
maybe i've just been conditioned
(i've just been conditioned)
(i've just been conditioned)
call me crazy but for you
i empathize
if i was in your skin
i'd choose suicide
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
even though
you haunt me
i'll make it out alive
you must
live a fucking nightmare
awake and in your dreams
looking for someone
to hold your misery
i'm so sorry
for how you feel inside
i'll pray for you tonight
i'll pray for you tonight
i'll pray for you tonight
for how you feel inside
i'll pray for you tonight

"I empathize, but everyone can see that you're dead inside"
That would also work too. Idk why I'm commenting this but yea.
Loved the song and can't stop listening to it!!!!

As someone who has suffered multiple counts of abuse by family members, this song explains exactly my emotions. I gained strength and started to pity them. These lyrics are so real.
Nico, you are a true inspiration and you hold so much talent- especially when you’re still fairly young. Your music is super calming and so relatable. Thank you❤️

Nico Collins, you're the best! I don't know why you're not popular. Your songs are amazing, relatable and amusing, I love it so much! My favorites so far is this, Burning House, Alone, Set me Free (this made my heart break), Timebomb, On Accident, Honest, 10/10 , Tug of War and many more 😍 I always listen to it in school, house and even computer shops and I make sure to use my speaker so everyone can hear it and appreciate it, hopefully. So far, some of my friends did! Especially those who has been through depression...like me. I hope you can make more of this relatable, amazing and amusing songs 😇
