This song gave me the power to leave a toxic narcissitic relationship where I was being abused all the time and broken down from my GF, at the heart she is a genuine good person but all those shortcuts taken in life left a mark on her soul and attitude how she treated her fellow people poorly especially treating men like she treats woman friends. She criticized so many people and I was like look your self in the mirror. she belittled me and I was like yes she is right i agreed with her and I kept showing her the mirror that she is no different than me, we only have different attitudes in life. i wanted to encourage her to clean up her own mess first and earn that right to talk ill of peoples individual actions in life by showing them a better way forward by leading with a good example and good intentions and inspire. I could not find that will to be genuine as she still took shortcuts and hurt her conscience in the process over and over again. Whatever success she do achieve will be with a trail of guilt and destruction behind her wake, and it will prevent her form reaching her true potential in life and what makes it so sad and why I cared for her in the first place. teaching her lesson that society and her parents are supposed to teach. To have good respect and decency to people. At the very least a good health baseline and give opportunities for people to ern more respect and decency from her in a reasonable fair manner that builds competence and character, It is all about building deeper level of trust and networking.
I'm sorry to hear that. She...reminds me of me actually. My mom said I'm a good person at heart, but sometimes there are flaws in me that I need to change for the better. Ofc, the difference between me and your former GF is that I listen to advice. When ppl give you genuine good advice, you listen to them and not ignore them. I read about the Proverbs from the Bible where it says that wise ppl always listens to advice and add it to their learning
@@thefighter5182well he doesn’t care either what you say because I’m sure he wouldn’t let some loser quote un quote bully him you obviously don’t no what it’s like to be hurt or your just saying that because your hurt and if that I’m sorry for you and don’t judge someone until you been through what they’ve been through
not really..the song is about being your own person regardless of what other people think of you, calling them weak in that line doesn't really say much compared to 'I'am free'
@@ritwik5774 This is a matter too subjective to discuss, in my opinion. Everyone is free to understand the message in a personal way, related to their past and their own philosophy.
not really again since the only message is the one the song is about...that's pretty much the only thing you can derive from it, write your own songs for your own stuff
this is exactly the relationship I have with my family and my mom. I just heard this song and it just simply blew me, this song is the definition of true beauty !!
Same man. My family hates me, but I got used to it. The sad thing is, everybody gets numb to the pain of losing the only people in your life that SHOULD love you. Everybody numbs themselves somehow..
My mom and her boyfriend threaten to kick me out again. The day they do I'm gonna play this for them. All they ever do is tell me how embarrassed they are of me and how I'm not good enough and how they want me to change to keep a good appearance in the community, but I don't wanna live a lie.
The break... "I'd rather be a sinner than a slave. I'd rather be an outcast than bow down and obey. When it's all done, there's only one.. Name upon my grave! I'D RATHER BE A FREAK THAN BE A FAAAAAAAAAKE!!!" Only kids that were bullied and ostracized in school will fully feel the depth of those words.
That's the truth. I first heard this song when I was at my lowest point in school. It felt as though my life was on a short path to nowhere. Upon hearing this song I realized there are people out there in the same boat as me that have pulled through it and are fighting to stay afloat. This song has influenced my life as well as many other songs but numerous other artists to the point where I decided to join a VOLUNTEER fire department. I'm not saying you should too I'm just saying it helped me make this decision. Mainly because some people have no respect at all for volunteer firemen. So theoretically you could say that by being bullied instead of continuing the trend I turned it into something good but in my opinion I turned the rage and anger of being bullied into motivation to do better not only for myself but for my community.
@@thefighter5182 Why can't I abbreviate it LAS?? For example AFI is A Fire Inside and they go by AFI. AIC is Alice In Chains, so what did I do wrong? Please take the time to enlighten me!!!! I want to be correct!
My dad says drummers can only do so much with music and are limited 2 what they can do, he played 4 over 30 years. This song is an exception this drummer did wonders to it
Saw these guys live in Austin. Incredible performance, came down into the crowd and met with everyone while the next band was onstage. Hope they come back soon.
Indeed. It also helps solidify the shifting confused thoughts floating through one's head whether you are Christian or Atheist. Believe me, I see these lyrics from both perspectives easily for their intent and their unintentional application.
This song is legit really good And a lot of different people can probably relate to it for different reasons Which makes it hilarious that some of the top comments are just gatekeepers
I'm not here to be good enough. I'm here to be imperfect, because perfection is something people have to let go of. The sooner people let go of perfectionism, the sooner they'll be more at peace with themselves and those around them. Trying to be perfect is just a problem starter.
So very true. Been there done that. I said why do you want to change me or anybody. I said that's why I'm with you it's because of the Way You Are .if I wanted you to be different I wouldn't have been with you and I hope you feel the same. If you're going to try to change somebody why don't you just find someone like you're looking for right off the beginning. I didn't say you can't grow in a relationship.
Its funny because most albums I listen to and buy is for one, maybe on occasion two key songs, and the rest of the songs even if I end up liking them or think they are good are just along for the ride. Like A Storm, every single song I hear I love as much as the last. Amazing band, love their work. Decent voices, perfect blend of scream/sing. Not a fan of screamo or anything really I can't understand the lyrics to. These guys do a great job with the blend as well as a few songs displaying the talent of having great voices too not just rocking out. Glad I stumbled across them.
josh bull you mentioned a familiar word I haven't heard in such a long time 'album' even though the quality of 'sound' and the hundreds of endless songs that can be streamed w/out commercial interruptions - which now a days are expected, I sure do miss the sound the needle makes as you carefully lay it down and the sound of the hiss just before it plays the 1st song and in between each song thereafter. as for the commercials I never minded them because that's how we knew who was coming in concert 🎤 (dating myself, huh?)
Me neither, this came up on my recommendations. But I love Breaking Benjamin, dance with the devil, I was just listening to it like, 4 songs ago. I also love Starset and 3 days Grace

For everyone - on many lyricswebsites it's "live the life" but i'm sure now after listening this many times xD it's "live the lie you want me to"... xD so sorry for the "maybe" incorrect lyrics :o

Honestly i love the didgeridoo, and love they incorporated in the song. Such a cool and unique instrument. Used to know a buddy of mines teacher that used to play it for everybody in front of a local coffee shop next to where i worked. Apparently it is really hard cause i almost got laughed at out of playing the instrument lol.
