NF - 10 Feet Down Lyrics






[Ruelle:]
Cold nights, cold nights, long night
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All night, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up

[NF:]
Yeah I know the person in the mirror's not a perfect one
I look at him every day and think he's not enough
My life's a book that I don't really like to open up
I'm twenty-six, but I feel like I live in chapter one
I skim through, I've been through it, they laugh at us
You think it's funny, yeah, laugh it up
I always felt like no one listened to me, that's how I grew up
Church is where I found God, but it's also where I learned to judge
Yeah, I had to learn there's a difference between
What you want, and what you really need
I've always been motivated by comments from people tellin' me
Things they think I'll never be, and then I become it, this is my everything
There's so much that goes on in my head that people will never see
You'll probably be terrified of my memories, don't lecture me
Let me be, let me see, let me breathe, how they remember me
Doesn't alter who I am as a person to take my energy, yeah

[Ruelle:]
Hot days, cold nights
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All day, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up
Cold nights

[NF:]
Yeah, my fans made me who I am, but they also deceived me
I've been allowed to live life like I'm already grieving
I'm at a table of lies, but don't eat what they feed me
My hoodie over my face, so nobody can see me
I'm on a plane, 'bout to fly again
Looking out the window, take a moment to admire it
Wondering how high it is, wonder where the time has went
Then I shut the window and go back to feeling like I'm out my mind again, ah!
Yeah, seems like we're all trying to climb a ladder
It's crazy what we'll do to climb it faster
It's like we throw away the things in life that really matter
Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder we're even climbing after
I know the feeling of feeling like everything you deal with will never change
That's part of being a human, yeah
Life's what you make of it, take it, embrace it, and take it, and savor it
Ain't about what you did, it's what you became from it, ah!

[Ruelle:]
Hot days, cold nights
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All day, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up
Cold nights

We all want what we never had
The good life doesn't seem so bad
The good life doesn't seem so sad
Yeah we all want what we never had

Hard days, cold nights
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All day, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up
Cold nights

We all want what we never had
The good life doesn't seem so bad
The good life doesn't seem so sad
Yeah we all want what we never had

Hot days, cold nights
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All day, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up

Cold nights, cold nights, long night
Staring down at an empty cup like
I'ma fill, I'ma fill it up
All night, all night
Ten feet down nearly my whole life
But I'll be rising, rising up

    Nederlands cultureel erfgoed. Fuck ramsis

  2. M.... T....

    I admire his work so much. I have never related to lyrics so much before and his music is a good reminder im not alone.

  3. O.... ....

    I just heard of this song yesterday bro...where has this been...

    This is the greatest song I’ve ever heard. The lyrics hit somewhere you don’t expect anything to reach.

    I don’t think you realize how many lives you impact with every song Nate. You continue to save people just by speaking into that mic

    Never give up Nate. You deserve everything good, and so does anyone reading this comment

  4. L.... B....

    ngvvhbknskvjbgvfsjkvhnskkkhgbvklbbvjhisreally hit me the hardest possible

  5. J.... G....

    This song malfunctioned when I transferred it to my iPod, so I can only listen to it on YT.😢

  6. a.... l....

    I always had a hard time finding artist that I actually like, both personality and the music they make. I would find an artist whose personality is lovable but I don't like ALL of their music. Here, no matter where I click, I can't find a song I don't like, it's awesome

  7. x.... ....

    "Im 26 but I feel like im at chapter 1" I really felt that

  8. E.... D....

    This should have also been on the Shadowhunters soundtrack

  9. C.... B....

    its tare on you tear on you... I believe in nothing but that real white dress
    Hot days cold nights staring down at empty cop lights.
    The good life dont seem so sad the good life dont feel so bad
    Ill be rising rising up
    we all want what we never had

  10. N.... M....

    I can relate to some things and his situations and how he has trouble coping with thoughts, self confidence, motivation, and the past and how memories haunt him. I feel him. I’m all for him in support.

  11. J.... B....

    Reap what you sow Jesus said. Walk in the spirit 📖 and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ❤️📖🙂

  12. A.... B....

    This man is crazy. In an amazing way.

    Ja, ich weiß, die Person im Spiegel ist nicht perfekt
    Ich schaue ihn jeden Tag an und denke er ist nicht genug
    Mein Leben ist ein Buch, dass ich nicht wirklich öffnen will
    Ich bin 26, aber fühle mich, als lebte ich Kapitel 1
    Ich blättere es durch, ich habe das alles schon durch, sie lachen uns aus
    Du glaubst, es ist lustig, ja, lach mich aus
    Ich habe mich immer so gefühlt, als ob mir niemand zuhört, so bin ich aufgewachsen
    In der Kirche fande ich Gott, aber ich lernte auch, zu verurteilen
    Ja, ich musste lernen, dass es einen Unterschied gibt, zwischen dem was du willst und dem, was du wirklich brauchst
    Ich zog meine ganze Motivation aus den Kommentaren von Menschen, die sagten, ich würde nie etwas erreichen, doch jetzt bin ich was, das ist alles, was ich habe
    In meinem Kopf geht so viel ab, das werden andere niemals sehen
    Du wärst wahrscheinlich von meinen Erinnerungen geschockt, belehr mich nicht
    Lass mich sein, lass mich sehen, lass mich atmen, wie sie sich an mich erinnern, ändert nicht, wer ich als Person bin, um meine Energie zu nehmen, ja

    Harte Tage, kalte Nächte
    Ich starre auf eine leeren Becher,
    Ich werde ihn füllen, ihn auffüllen
    Den ganzen Tag, die ganze Nacht
    Ich war fast mein ganzes Leben lang 10 Fuß unter der Erde
    Aber ich werde mich erheben, mich erheben


    Yeah, meine Fans machten mich zu dem, was ich bin, aber auch sie haben mich betrogen
    Ich durfte mein Leben so leben, als würde ich bereits trauern
    Ich stehe vor einem Tisch voller Lügen, aber glaube die Lügen nicht, die sie mir auftischen
    Meine Kapuze in meinem Gesicht, sodass mich keiner sehen kann
    Ich bin im Flugzeug, bin dabei fortzufliegen
    Schaue aus dem Fenster, brauche einen Moment, um es zu bewundern
    Frage mich, wie hoch es ist, frage mich, wo die ganze Zeit hin ist
    Dann schließe ich das Fenster und fühle mich wieder, als würde ich meinen Verstand verlieren, agh!
    Ja, es scheint, als würden wir alle versuchen, eine Leiter hochzuklettern
    Es ist verrückt, was wir alles tun würden, nur um sie schneller zu erklimmen
    Es ist, als würden wir alles, was im Leben wichtig ist, wegwerfen
    Alles, nur damit wir es bis an die Spitze schaffen und uns frage, wonach wir eigentlich streben
    Ich kenne das Gefühl, dass sich alles, mit dem du es zu tun hast, niemals ändern wird
    Das ist Teil davon, ein Mensch zu sein, yeah
    Das Leben ist das, was du daraus machst, nimm es, umarme es, nimm es und koste es aus
    Es geht nicht darum, was du getan hast, es geht darum, was es aus dir gemacht hat, ah

    Harte Tage, kalte Nächte
    Ich starre auf eine leeren Becher,
    ich werde ihn füllen, ihn auffüllen
    Den ganzen Tag, die ganze Nacht
    Ich war fast mein ganzes Leben lang 10 Fuß unter der Erde
    Aber ich werde mich erheben, mich erheben
    Kalte Nächte

    Wir alle wollen, was wir nie hatten
    Das gute Leben scheint gar nicht so schlecht zu sein
    Das gute Leben scheint gar nicht so traurig zu sein
    Wir alle wollen, was wir nie hatten, whoa

    Harte Tage, kalte Nächte
    Ich starre auf eine leeren Becher,
    Ich werde ihn füllen, ihn auffüllen
    Den ganzen Tag, die ganze Nacht
    Ich war fast mein ganzes Leben lang 10 Fuß unter der Erde
    Aber ich werde mich erheben, mich erheben
    Kalte Nächte


    Wir alle wollen, was wir nie hatten
    Das gute Leben scheint gar nicht so schlecht zu sein
    Das gute Leben scheint gar nicht so traurig zu sein
    Wir alle wollen, was wir nie hatten, whoa

    Harte Tage, kalte Nächte
    Ich starre auf eine leeren Becher,
    Ich werde ihn füllen, ihn auffüllen

    2020 first day girl left me 2nd day found out she's got a new man 3rd day got fired from my job 4th day got kicked out 5th day accused of stealing from my own mother I might hate my mom but I don't talk to her for a reason 6th day got pulled over not knowing my lisence was suspended and there was a war rent out for my arrest cuz they said I fail to reply to a citation but I mailed it in and even got back paper work saying they did and to set up payment plain fuck 2020

  17. J.... ....

    One of my favorite artists, Thank God for the real ones! He talks to the things that everyone feels but no one reveals about themselves. This guy takes the mask off and gets personal. His song Wake Up was a big one for me, I felt like I was sleeping my life away, couldn't escape, couldn't wake up. Music was the only thing that kept me awake when I was laying in bed staring at the ceiling hating myself and the outcome of my life. When I'm down, I turn him on, when I'm up, his music still feels relatable and real. If stuff feels lonely, this music talks to my heart, If I'm feeling afraid, it reminds me that I'm not the only one. The music is an encouragement and a comfort to someone who feels like a failure too often and it sometimes gets hard enough that I don't know how I'm going to get back up. It's a blessing in my life and like the lyrics say, you feel like you're in it, even if I can't relate to all the things that you've been through. So keep bagging it up and waking us up, your music has life in it and it matters/makes a difference. So Thank You.
    Wake Up, Ten Feet Down, Can You Hold Me, The Search, If You Want Love, Time, I can't even name all of the ones that you've put together that have touched my life in a good way. Five Finger, Tedashii and For King & Country all come in a close second for comfort music/food. What would we do without music? Music is life <3

  18. B.... D....

    Please come to Michigan? 😂😭 I don't even wanna see anyone else now.

  19. K.... N....

    I love you man.

  20. H.... R....

    had a dream,
    NF & me crying in the same room.
    feels more real than everything else though.

  21. D.... 1....

    I checked the language settings on YouTube at the beginning then looked at the comments after to find out, I did all that for no reason 😂

  22. J.... S....

    I felt it whenever he said “my life’s a book I don’t really like to open up”








    DEEP!!!

  23. K.... H....

    Who's listening in 2020...👍

  24. a.... b....

    Truthfully I don't do the social media thing there's nobody I really wish to contact I'll come back down here soon but it won't be under good terms and most of y'all will never know I'm here as you all know my mom is sick and not going to make it it's terminal cancer but I have to go back for a little while so when I come back it'll be to bury her and say goodbye to this town for the last time I'm not saying that playing a game I get my new phone this morning and I'm out of here by next week I just wanted to keep trying a little longer hopefully I could have brought my baby home with me I'm sorry for my ignorance

  25. a.... b....

    TK I would love you the rest of my life that's why I came home and you know it

  26. a.... b....

    I'm really sorry I failed you all the fact is I'm not angry no more I get mad at people's nasty comments because they don't know what they're talkin about and truthfully I don't do social media I only did this so I can try to get her back she don't want me and that's okay whatever she's doing or has going on I'm happy for the woods on back road is a nice place I'm going back home to my nice place my peaceful not a lot of people around but I like it that way my driveway is a little long off the Trail of Tears but I love the horses in my backyard in the hummingbirds around my door

  27. F.... V....

    Wrote this at 22 for when i reached 26 now i'm 27 and nothing's changed, healthcare is going down and angels became insects.
