LEWIS DEL MAR - Live That Long Lyrics

Thanks dog

this one goes out to one of my best friends, we don’t see each other very often but i know if we we’re to chill within 10 mins he’d have this chorus on smash filling my heart with pure love and joy. love you bot wardy, forever and always 🤍🤍

As someone who tries to help people and gets abandoned all the time. The line: "Understand me when I say: 'All I had I gave away'" really hits home for some reason

What a talent have this guy! So real,I feel in my soul

June 2019❣️

masterpiece

💗💗💗💜💜💜💜💘💘💗

I love your music

this might get a little real. But this is gonna be a catharsis.
I found lewis del mar a ways into my first relationship, which has still left me shaky on affection.
The person i was dating started changing, became fixed on the mindset of doing things that weren’t safe, treating people like they didn’t matter. And that ended up being me too.
There was gaslighting, silent treatments, the unwillingness to quit bad habits on both sides, i’ll admit.
I became disillusioned and depressed. I became almost completely just a shell of myself. Listening to the album, this song became a crutch. Some lyrics still remind me of how my relationship took a turn and how it affected me.
I was being held at arms length by someone who wouldn’t let me come closer, but held on tight. Who smiled at me, but looked at someone else. I don’t know.
This song was my mind.
And so i shut down and waited til they broke it off, and then i stopped listening to music completely and immediately.
So i’ve been “reclaiming” some of the music i listened to when things got tough. I listened to Lewis Del Mar for the first time again a few days ago.
It’s still hard to listen to Malt Liquor if i’m being honest.
And now this song makes me feel happy. It makes me feel peaceful.
I can’t stop listening to it.
This might sound stupid. But this music means so much to me. I felt i had to say this, even if it seems a little strange to share one long sad story.
I don’t know. Things get better i guess.
Even though i felt like all i had i gave away, and that i was and had nothing, i ended up making some of myself back. I might not live that long, but i’m living.

This is exactly what i’ve lived through last couple of months, thank you for sharing your story ’cause it means so much for me and all of a sudden i don’t feel like the only person on the world.
I know that feeling of despair, when a person you cared so much for just change without real purpose and don’t really say, whats the reason, ’cause the person is lost in their mindset and don’t know. I can’t blame. We wrote each other afterwards.
And you can’t stop your energies just like that, so you start to act like a narcissist or borderline, just because you care and you feel like there must be a reason for all this suffering, but all of a sudden you start doubting the heaven, the sky, even yourself and you can’t be a good guy, you can’t be even a bad guy, last thing you can do is to do nothing. Be in the corner, scared of anything you say.
As if I became all the fears a second person had about me and I hated myself for that. When I was accused of narcissism, yeah, that literally shaked all my beliefs in myself off the cliff, ’cause I’ve never thought in intensions like that and I feel like I should prove something, that made it even worse. Yeah I have a narcissist traits, but I also feel so much that only art can understand. And it literally change my methaphysical outlook on the world, even now I’m not sure, even if everyone laughts at me when say them I’m maybe like that, even if I also create music.. But everything you do can be twisted and used against you I guess. Romanticism can be judge like a violating of human right and love and unity as a draining.
People nowadays are thinking like this: narcissist people are devil vampires that have no feelings but I dont eat it, they’re the most sad and fragile creatures in this world and they deserve the love and caring like everyone else. It would be perfect world, where we stop takings these things in absolutes and scrap a person like that. It’s not about unconditional love, or compassion, it’s just plain individual standart. I don’t know.. We live in a world of instant absolutism, with no object constancy about anyone, when the things go bad.
In the end I had to end this story, because I was so affraid she’ll hurts herself, i couldnt function normally and said i cant continue. Makes me narcissistic? If so, I am.

This album was also a counterpoint of that and I feel so grateful to have at least one thing I could return to without pretending like Im not hurt, im not scared and im not lost. This music is a temple of my life, it evolves as I evolve through my life and there is no other album, that understands me like this one. I might not live that long, but i’m living.

PS: (please take yourself a time and don’t blame yourself of anything bad, cause that makes the possibilities of being so)

just amazing

this makes me daydream !!!!

2018 Anyone?

Enjoy

X-ray mornings and the mirror cracks again
Bad luck making and my bones are breaking in
This is the year that the years caught up to me
Sinking eyes and my thin vacation days
Do I grow or do I fade away?
Or do I talk about how things have changed?

[Chorus]
Cause I won't live that long
No I won't live that long
But it don't feel wrong
When our minds are gone
On the roof at dawn
I won't live that long

[Verse 2]
X-ray evenings, cross examining my case
Crossed my heart before I lied straight to your face
I said I believed our best years had yet to take place
But I don't really believe in anything
Cause now I know that all plans fade away
And so I'm only planning for today

[Chorus]
Oh I won't live that long
No I won't live that long
But it don't feel wrong
When my mind's all gone
On the roof at dawn
No won't live that long

[Outro]
Understand me when I say
All I had, I gave away
All I had, I gave away
Understand me when I say
All I had, I gave away
All I had, I gave away

Understand me when I say
All I had, I gave away
All I had, I gave away
Understand me when I say
All I had, I gave away
All I had, I gave away

Can’t believe this doesn’t have more views.

This song is my only peace of mind

This album is a masterpiece.

In one of my worst depressions , ever thing is just wearing me down. Life's just to surreal and this seems to be the only thing grounding me... I need to start making music again...
