"Nine" (Lyric Video) | Sleeping At Last

nines, we will be okay

"We have sometimes called the Nine the crown of the Enneagram because it is at the top of the symbol and because it seems to include the whole of it. Nines can have the strength of Eights, the sense of fun and adventure of Sevens, the dutifulness of Sixes, the intellectualism of Fives, the creativity of Fours, the attractiveness of Threes, the generosity of Twos, and the idealism of Ones. However, what they generally do not have is a sense of really inhabiting themselves—a strong sense of their own identity. Ironically, therefore, the only type the Nine is not like is the Nine itself. Being a separate self, an individual who must assert herself against others, is terrifying to Nines. They would rather melt into someone else or quietly follow their idyllic daydreams." -Enneagram Institute

“How do i forgive myself for losing so much time” I FELT THAT 🥺

I'm a nine, and this hits me like a truck cause I literally don't know who I really am

"It looks like empathy to understand all sides but i'm just trying to find myself through someone else's eyes." Just wow.

“How do forgive myself for losing so much time? Wake up. “ oh my goodness

i normally think tests like this are bs but honestly i couldnt make it through the song without crying like a baby

ironically we waited and got to know every other number before truly knowing ourselves in this track

notice how the song switches between "I" and "you" and finally "we" at the end

i hope all the nines out there think this was worth the wait :”)

« I’ve been less than half myself for more than half my life » This hit me. the real me that half my friends dont know. because i always try to act perfect, so that everyone is happy. I just end up forgetting i should be happy too. isnt it nice to know someone understands ?

I’m a four but realizing this is what nines feel like, I’m crying for them. Hang in there sweet nines, you will be ok, you will find yourself <3

I just realized something!! The length of the song is 5:22 5+2+2= 9

“I’ve been less than half myself, for more than half my life...I’m just trying to find myself through someone else’s eyes.” **TEARS** Thank you, thank you. My heart needed this song.

I- the only reason Im probably labeled as a peacemaker is cause I just want others to be happy..Its been a while since I felt okay by myself..I only feel happy in front of others because I want them to see Im okay..I dont want people to worry about me..Id rather help other people than myself to be honest.

This part that really hit me: “Honestly, it’s easier to let myself forget” I tend to always put my feelings aside, I don’t talk about my feelings to others and I just try and let it go. I get really sensitive (I’m crying right now writing this.. lol) and this song hit me. I’m still figuring out who I am, it’s just a big relief to know that others feel the same, and that it’s not just me going through it. I believe all the niners out there, we’ll be just fine. (:

"It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live." -Victor Hugo

You know that heavy feeling you get in the back of your throat and the stinging behind your eyes and sometimes you feel this tightening in your chest with it and everything hurts but it's kind if dulled ?

"i'm just trying to find myself through someone else's eyes" that hit close to home

I was listening to him explain the process he went through in writing “Nine” in his podcast. Since he’s a type nine this song was closer to home for him. He talked about how his heart was closed off for most of his life and he just realized it when he was producing the song. As a type nine myself I felt that in my soul.
