A/N: So, this is based off an interview I saw stating from Adam himself that his music actually saved a girls life (you can see it here --> http://m.christianpost.com/news/interview-owl-citys-adam-young-and-how-his-music-comes-from-god--51554/), and I thought that was pretty special, and also wanted to write a short about it, so enjoy! :) (PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I DO NOT KNOW THIS GIRL PERSONALLY, SO MAJORITY OF THE CONTENT IN THIS SHORT IS MADE UP)
This girl is at the end of a rope and she has a container of OxyContin pills with her. She's ready to take her life.
All seems lost and nothing seems like it will get better. She's covered in scars from her self-harming and bruises from the bullies at school. She's picked on because she is different, because she doesn't 'fit in with the crowd'. She feels that there is no other way. She doesn't want to go through it any more.
She turns the radio on to make it seem like everything is normal. Listening to the radio was one of her past times, she always listened to it when doing her homework, and her parents would suspect that's what she was really doing instead of ending her own life.
She puts the note she has written one the pillow of her bed and pulls the OxyContin pills up to her mouth. Just as they are about to reach her lips, something stops her. A faint sound; music. Gentle, beautiful music the floats harmoniously through her bedroom.
She pulls the handful away from her mouth and looks over at the radio, listening to the lyrics of the song.
"I wish I could cross my arms, and cross your mind.
'Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve.
All my life I wish I broke mirrors, instead of promises.
'Cause all I see, is a shattered conscience staring right back at me.
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely, 'cause I'm so afraid.
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?
Lift your arms only heaven knows where the danger grows.
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way.
(Help is on the way, Help is on the way, Help is on the way...)
Help is on the way.
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity,
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me.
Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short.
Oh please be done. How much longer can this drama afford to run?
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend,
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again.
(Back down again, back down again, back down again...)
I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity,
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me.
Then I was given grace and love, I was blind but now I can see,
'Cause I found a new hope from above, and courage swept over me.
It hurts just to wake up, whenever you're wearing thin,
Alone on the outside, so tired of looking in.
The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraid,
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope,
And that makes me feel brave."
She waits as the announcer tells the listeners who the singer and what the song was. When the girl heard the words, "And that was Tidal Wave by Owl City...", she sits down and thinks.
She takes a long time to process those lyrics and their meaning. Suddenly, she throws the pills down on the floor and shouts. "No! I will not do this!"
And from that day on, she never touched another pill, and no more thoughts of suicide crossed her mind.
