This song got me through the toughest break up in my life. <3 sending all the love

This song reminds me of what it sounds like your mind is unraveling and the world around you is collapsing.

I played this song everyday 2 years ago and it got me through my heart break.. here I am again 2 years later with the same intentions of listening to it again everyday until I feel better again

Here I am back again listening to this song..

"Musicially, “Ontario Gothic” begins where the previous song on the album, “Shadow’s Song” lets off. The the same melody - made from cutting up & copying and pasting singular guitar notes forms the melodic basis for the majority former. The instrumental elements of the middle / transition section make up the Foxes in Fiction song “Breathing In” found on the first Angeltown compilation.

Lyrically, “Ontario Gothic” is written about a close friend name Cait who died in 2010 and to whom the album is dedicated. Cait was one of the closest friends that I had for many years when I was a bit younger. She and I became really close after I had moved back to my hometown in the suburbs of Toronto, away from a farm in rural Ontario that my family lived on from 2001 until 2004. I was coming away from what was the worst and most emotionally tumultuous period of my life at that point and I carried a lot of fucked up anxiety and deep sadness about my life and myself as a person. But more than anything else, getting to know, open up to and spend time with Cait during those first years helped open me up to kinds of happiness and a love for life that I didn’t think was within the realm of possibility at that point in my life. 

She was one of the most remarkable, open and truly good people I’ve ever known, really. The song “Flashing Lights Have Ended Now” was also written about her just a point where we’re drifting apart; a year later she was gone. I wrote this song to crystallize the better parts of our friendship and to remember the healing effect that she had on me as a person which without I would not be the same person or have the same acceptance for life that I do now. I miss her enormously and I feel her influence and presence constantly. "

I was trapped under concrete
Built from the memory
Of all the daydreams
That I buried underneath

Now find me a way to divide
All of the noise on the other side
We’ll change where we live in the fall
Soon it will feel like nothing is wrong

And I could see who I should be
Though a past that casts it’s shadow down over me
In empty fields on summer nights
I feel the flashing lights

Teeth clenched in moonlight
A limitation, want to ignite
Reset my biology
The imitation, the apology

And I felt just like a child
I’m taking it all from the other side
Driving with you in your car
The home that I know seems so far

Spring, fall, I’ve lost it all (the morning fog)
Your empty street where we would meet
These parking lots bless us with peace
Your light has strayed, there’s no release

Foxes in Fiction - Ontario Gothic

woke up now it's time for school
wash my face and brush my hair
put on clothes and tie my shoes
grab your lunch there's lots to do
another day another life
another place another time
last night had a funny dream
this boy i loved was next to me
we kissed until the night went blue
he kissed my lips and said we're through
another day another life
another place another time
but what am i to do
it's obvious superfluous 
it's what we'll do
i was counting on the two
but the lines run slow
you ask me why 
i just don't know
i used to know this girl from school
a pretty face and yellow curls
she smiled one day and said im done
then next day was a funeral
another day another life
another place another time
so maybe this is all a plan
you do what you've been given
but i've done everything they've said
still feel like i haven't lived
another day another life
another place another time

saw you on the first day of school
hi honey tell me what's your name
and the day was so blue
and the sky was so blue
darling why you always acting so shy
i never know the right loving words to say
he said, just stay
one more kiss and i think i could die
your heaven you were my perfect paradise
he said, you're mine
look in the camera
look in the green eyes
what can i do
i still see you even though you didn't stay
you're in my head you're running through my fucking veins
in all the places
in all these faces
and i'm still hoping i could find you in the stars
or on some stranger's lips or underneath these scars
i still love you
i'll always love you
and i hope you're happy up there in that faded sky
i hope i see you when i close my eyes tonight, oh i
i think i'm breaking
i think i'm breaking
