After my 2nd deployment to Afghanistan I was struggling really bad with PTSD and I felt like I was walking around with a floating chalk outline, numb, hollow, this song hits so hard for me personally and I've loved watching others find more of Ren's music.

"I'm scared of being okay" I think is referring to people who literally feel a sense of guilt for having a good day, like they don't deserve it. Negativity becomes normality. Positivity is abnormal and becomes feared because it always gets "taken away"

“Such a perfect day, take it just in case.” My daughter lost the battle with Mental illness and Addiction in 2021. She would manage to ruin good events with us by doing this very thing. Times when I had such hope for some “normalcy “ that I could provide for her, her daughter, and us. This song brought me to a breakthrough in healing and understanding of her point of view. Every freaking word. Also working on my own “reaction lyrics” because my perspective as a Mom can be described with this, as well. Ren is somewhat my “savior” at the moment. Much love, One love.

A chalk outline is a representation or a reminder of the person that used to be there and signifies the moment they were lost.

For reference, Chinchilla's first words, Sertraline is a SSRI. Brand name is Zoloft.
And the whole time she is singing, she is tracing a "Chalk" outline around Ren with her hands.

I’ve watched it at least 20 times so don’t mind the stoppages. The reaction is what I came for

Why was this not a hit? Why is he not more well known? People tend to believe that the radio is giving them the best music that is around at the time. If you want to find gold you need to dig for it!

So glad you are reacting to Ren. This kid is unbelievably brilliant.

Chinchilla (Daisy Bertenshaw) is 26 years old, from London, UK, and she is a rising star on the British music scene. She was a supporting act on Sting's 2019 European Arena tour and the opening act for the 2021 McFly tour. Chinchilla has also played some big European music festivals.

I lived in Brighton for a few years & had the pleasure of watching Ren busk on the streets on many occasions. We all knew he was meant for greatness & what a top bloke he is too. A true gentleman & thoroughly decent through and through. ❤

It's called The Stockade. The Gallows are where you're hanged. The Stockade is where your hands and head are through the wooden plank and you are left in the street.

The harmonies are just beautiful ❤

The scared of being okay line is interesting, and something I find very relatable.

I struggle with anxiety, and you kind of get used to always being a little on edge. It becomes your normal. You get used to that heightened awareness, the edginess, it's almost comforting.

I have had days where I have woken up and just felt really off. My heart rate has been lower than usual, and I had this really weird feeling, and that feeling almost becomes disconcerting and worrying. And then you realise, that feeling is calm. You just aren't anxious.

And however silly it sounds, that, what is essentially "feeling ok" because it's not the norm, is very scary.

Ren allows reactors to play his whole songs/movies and also tells reactors that if they are blocked due to a copyright claim, to appeal it and he will approve their videos.

My breakdown ..Rehab clothing ..they are singing about taking medication for mental heath issues and recreational drugs together ..the medical drugs to try fix the problems and the recreational drugs to try numb the pain of the side effects ..Not every medical drug works but the side effects are horrendous ..as she says in the video ..but dont worry theres a pill for everything

This is my favorite of his right now. I found Ren Last week after finding out my mom unexpectedly passed away. I had Ren on repeat during the 12 hr round trip. This one needs to be on the radio. As someone whose been on certain meds, now a days we aren't suppose to feel anything. Just take a pill that deadens your emotions. I'm also one who is afraid when things are going good because when they go bad it will be worse. Love yalls reactions. Thank you

I adore this song. REN is such an amazing, powerful and impactful artist. So happy we are all experiencing his genius.

Ren made a post guys saying he's arranged so if YouTube flag you for copyright on any of his songs hit dispute and you'll be able monetize it no issue. His way of thanking for the help in spreading his talent

Let's not bypass the fact this is a live take, both singing like this and playing with no dubs. "Talented" feels like not a strong enough word to describe REN

Heartbreaking, beautiful....amazing Ren xxxx
