about

*TW: talk of self harm*

I wrote this song in late May of 2021 after a failed suicide attempt as a way to understand what I was feeling at the time, and as a way help my loved ones try to understand how I was feeling. For the last year, I never played this song out. I kept it to myself as a reminder that no matter how dark and alone you might feel, you can pull yourself out. I'm no stranger to rock bottom, and this reminds me if I can come back time and time again there's a reason why I'm here. Over the last 6 months I collaborated with two of my very best friends, Jonah Daneshmand and Eliot Cain in recording this. I trusted them to not judge me, and to help turn this very personal piece into something I couldn't on my own, and they succeeded.
With all that being said, I wanted to do something else special with this song. Since its nothing like anything else I've previously released, and with it having a heavier meaning than most of my songs, I wanted to do strictly a BandCamp release donating all the proceeds to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to help others that weren't as lucky as I was. I never want anyone to feel as alone as I did in that moment, and want to help give resources to those struggling, and to the families that have lost loved ones. I will personally not be keeping any of the money made from this song. If you or anyone you know is struggling with these thoughts and feelings, please reach to the NSPL 800-273-8255 or to me and i can do my best to get you resources. You aren't alone, and it DOES get better.
Love always,
Hannah - Yellow Cellophane

lyrics

1
Whole world fades to black
At the bottom of the ocean
On my back

2
Nothing left to give
Empty inside
Open up my lungs wide

3
Wanted to be more
For the people i adore
All i did was let them down

CHORUS
Help me I’m downing now
I’m screaming to get me out
The ocean drags me down

trapped in darkness here
everything is so clear
i need to escape this place
and see another day


4
reaching towards the light
fighting with all my might

5
running out of air
nobody cares
if i live or die

6
all alone down here
can only rely on
me myself and i


CHORUS X2

7
Coming out alive
looking towards the sky
stronger on the other side
