@@toxictophat4194 They are AMAZING live!!!! I saw them back in 2013! I got their autographs on a shirt that I purchased from them. They are down to Earth and appreciate all their fans! (I have that shirt framed so it won't get messed up)
This is basically my fucking anthem. It reminds me that apathy leads to the same road walked every day. Bonus points for letting me know that we all have our own demons and not to judge people over a few minutes of interaction.
So sorry to you and your family for your loss. 😢I couldn't begin to imagine the 💔 you endure. I really hope that you guys can somehow lean on each other.
I have no space No room to move around And this box is getting smaller I'm trying to get out How did I get so far From where I was When did I decide To lose my way Who have I become I've got a new low All fifty two cards in a row I see now that I won't let go No I won't let go Well who am I? A cold shoulder left to cry You feel bad well so do I Yeah so do I I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I can not help feeling like I have so much at steak So I lock myself inside my head And I just run in place So many directions I don't Know which way to go I'm so busy doing nothing I got nothing to show I've got a new low All 52 cards in a row I see now that I won't let go No I won't let go Well who am I? A cold shoulder used to cry You feel bad well so do I Yeah so do I I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I make mistakes Just like everybody else But instead I'm letting go of it I can't forgive myself Well I did my time In the window less box Like it or not All I got now is today Tomorrow ain't here And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down
This song was my theme in 2010. Went from seven figures to losing everything over a prescription painkiller addiction. Went to jail for 3 months and it played over and over again in my head. The lyrics' encapsulated my life verbatim. Been sober since 2016 and still come back to jam out to it. I'm so glad I don't feel sick anymore and have to try to take something to feel normal. I can't put a price on it.
Dude I forgot what this song was called but I would whistle the melody in my head and then I couldn’t take it anymore so I typed in: “rock music video where 2 guys walk through the desert” and it was the second result. Love this song. I used to listen to this and a few other bangers: “Paralyzer” by Finger Eleven & “Old Man” by Redlight King …(who took the sample from Neil Young’s “Old Man”)
I just spent 3 hours searching various lyrics trying to find this some because I've had the melody sick in my head all day. Probably haven't heard it in almost 10 years. Finally remembered it was a local band and found it. Still meaningful 10 years later!
I listened to this song and watched the music video on the home computer (lol remember those, old dell) when I was 10yrs old and now I’m 21 and finally finding this song. My life is fulfilled. This song means so much to me
If you’re hear from 2k and still listening after all this years you have my utmost respect.. because y’all have a real grasp of what a song is supposed to be about loving the meaning and of course the beat of it.
Honestly, been hearing this song for 10 years now, and when I listened 10 years ago I had no understanding of the lyrics, but now I realize how fucking truthful this song is
wow you read my mind. I thought of this song the other day out of nowhere and hadn’t heard it in atleast 9 years so I looked it up here. The lyrics actually made me tear up, it’s how I feel about my life now.
I think of the lyric "Like it or not All I got now is today Tomorrow ain't here And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway" ..at least a few times a month.
I remember singing this to my entire cafeteria in 3rd grade 7 years ago. I heard my dad listen to this song often enough that I remembered the lyrics. And finally. I remembered them again. And I'm back. I'm riding one hell of a ride of nostalgia.
I'm 42 yo. I've always been kind of an outsider. My career isn't very successful; I have failed to finish my bachelor's degree repeatedly because of learning disability issues. I haven't accomplished most of my goals. I can't maintain a romantic relationship. I first heard this song in 2013 right after my oldest sister's funeral. She was the third sibling in my family to die. This song SPEAKS TO ME.
I'm sorry for all of your losses. If I had a way to fix them I would. But I'm in highschool and I'm also in a rut myself. But the difference between our two ruts other than age, is I CREATED my rut. I hope you can at least dig you're self out of you're rut.
I've been in and out rut's most of my life too. It's way too easy to look on the downside of everything (This world make's sure of that) But negativity is a habit we've all built up over the years, and of course we can't control external events but it's how we deal with them that will decide the quality of our lives... Habits can be broken and changed. if we change the way we see everything, & have a little self belief, I believe life will change for the better. This is what I'm learning, Happiness is all a state of mind... and once you get there you'll only attract the good things in life, It's how the world works. This is just my opinion though, all the best to you fella's. :)
I hear you there...I was in a bad way summer 2011-2012 I heard this song on a warm day in vegas and it felt like a bucket of hot water over my head...man what a great song...its speaks to me too...
This was such a cool song I forgot it existed. Man the early 10s was such a good time, though not for everyone. Starting to feel nostalgia for it now that I'm in my 40s. Seems so much more different than the mid 2010s.
This song totally sums up an overactive mind that is stressed out , and feels to stuck to do anything about it!! This the theme song for Anxiety and Depression
This song is literally the musical equivalent to being a failure and trying your damnest NOT to be a failure and failing at not failing. And telling yourself to keep trying, but knowing that you've tried hundreds of times before as has everyone in your family, so guess what's going to happen next? Not just the lyrics themselves, but the strain in the guitar that mimics the tension of anxiety in your mind and the beat of the drums that remind you of pacing. This song is perfect to relate to and quite vivid in its emotion.
I am half a decade late to your comment but you absolutely nailed it. I never considered the musical layers to this song but you are absolutely right about the guitar twangs and drumbeats. I appreciate this song so much more now
+ when Zack sings "i got a new low", you can hear the sudden drop with the guitar/bass combo, how deep it goes so when he says that, even the music goes into lower section. The entire album is a masterpiece.
Every time I play this tune on my radio show, I get calls asking about this song. One of my favorite songs to reintroduce to many people. This song stands the test of time. ❤️
This song is an anthem for the days of struggle, a chorus of dramatic wrong turns and loss of faith now trapped in box feeling no escape. The thing that is so hard but really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work on becoming yourself. Cold shoulder use to cry- Cry as hard as you want to. I've stoppied crying, never to cry for the same reason again. Life is rough and people do terrible things to one another that is for sure. But ultimately you have the final say to what you feel. For there is three things that leave and don't ever return: words, time and opptunties. Value whomever values you. After all your dreams have died and morning is in mourning... What are you?
11 years later I still come back to this song. It’s helped me over the years especially when I lost my best friend. I’ve been right I’ve been left I’ve been wrong I’ve been left behind, I’ve been up but mostly down..
@@XxByePolarxXthat is very true, I went 2 years without talking to my best friend and got the call one day that he was gone.. one of the things I regret the most in life
I've lived the chores... and nope, not giving up... Love this song, found over 12yrs later... When I've been living it for 50yrs... Thank you... Lost track of repeat plays...
I finally see that in the video no matter what you go through nothing can kill you. Even going through the struggles in the song, you keep moving forward.
You're luckier than I. I am 29 and just heard these guys end of last year 😳 I feel like absolute shit that I hadn't heard them years ago. And I absolutely love them ❤️
And here you will stay, hunny. If this speaks to you, I'd guess you think different, and that doesn't stop. OH, and let's win year this for Kobe, yeah?
I took the high road for 15 years... I'm actually still taking the high road. I just realized the high road is now making sure that everything is broadcast to as many people as possible. I want to go on every talk show and talk about Jehovah's Witness is lying hypocrisy. AWESOME SONG
Life is rough...not meant to be exactly easy. I been at my best and worst...and seem to find my way out...not easy. Music and animals have saved me more than most people in my life.
I saw these guys in concert and they were rocking it live! They are humble and they love their fans! I got many pics with them and they gave me a couple shirts with their autographs on them. Word to MCR!!!!
This song says everything there is to know about me. Especially the part "I make mistakes just like everybody else, but instead of letting go, I can't forgive myself." Always been like that for me.
Forgive yourselves. Every government wants it's citizenry to feel hopeless! If government ever crossed you, made your life miserable, write them, and tell them just what's up, do NOT let them run fear in you! Keep faith!
It can't just be done we wish we could just forgive ourselves and I Don't Trust the Government Who wants to write them only thing they care about is a check and next sketchy ass war we can get involved into too make another country haste us.
I don't think they needs our consent they try to do it there way until they see it failing miserably and then look the other way or they try something else but the vote's are decided and carried out essentially through them It's always completed they're way in the end If they interfere with something that I believe in I'll stand up for that until I can't stand anymore i'm not scared I just Perceive it for how I feel it is rigged.
When i first heard this song, it was in 2011, I was actually doing time. I was listening to the walkman radio and I was playing Spades, that fun competitive card game. While the lyrics were so easy to understand and his voice is nice to hear along with the grunge music. I get chills when I hear it. It describes my life. And knowing I am not the only one who has their moments. Only love can conquer hate.
I got real lucky first time hearing this band. Before I went to school in the mornings years ago, I would put on Fuse on the TV which played a top ten list of current rock music videos. Before I left for the bus, this song and video played and I stayed and watched the whole thing. I had the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
This song has pulled me out of a lot of dark places I've spiraled into more times than I care to count. It makes me feel not alone in my struggles, and if they can get back up from the punches life throws at them, well, so can I.
Boy.... The lyrics hit home after hearing this today. Funny when u can relate. In the red. But, I won't let go. Or give up! This is my new morning drive music! Done being left behind!
First time I heard this song was on 106.1 on my way back home from chemotherapy. Back in 2011 man...I now fully understand the message this song brings...now more than ever.
This has to be the best rock song of the last 20 years. It is a perfect rock song (lyrics and melody are awesome as well as the genius of keeping it three chords) It's hypnotizing.., and most people never have heard it...Im pretty sure this band is broken up now...."Busy being Born" is also a great one by them, but this is my jam for life.
Wow ok... Discovers song in 2021, repeats about 5x in a row... opens spotify, searches for "middle class rut" 😁 🧐 i now have a new playlist on spotify and a new favourite band... 👌🤗 better late than never.
I wanna Thank Middle Class Rutt for writing this song. First off I wanna say this song got me through 1 year in prison. At the same time it was a reflection of myself for why I was in prison. Listening to it after being out of prison 3 years later it reminds me of losing life in prison. Life = prison.
Its description of attention disorders to me yes its is very much important song for me to know how I am feeling about life and how I keep going in the worldly shit l don't give up brothers and sisters
In my car with my Service Dog RN. This song is so inspiring as a now single female artist... Like I am scared? Haha. Thank U for making this song... 💓 Universe Is The Universal Language Energy Is Frequency Where Yall at Now 🤘🖤
One of the most underrated rock duos of recent time. I met Sean and Zack at Great Woods (Mass) in 2013, and they were awesome guys to talk to. Their performance was top notch too. Pick up any of their 3 albums or EPs and you won't be disappointed in the tunes. I wasn't.
I found this on my favorites the other night. It's been a long time since I've listened to this song. Funny back in the day it had a much different meaning then, but still relevant to now. Glad I found this again
My husband and I heard this on the radio today. I haven’t heard it in 10 years. It brought back a lot of memories. The lyrics are spot on for those memories.
I heard this song years ago and ive been trying to find out the name of the song and the band and I finally found it. Ive listened to it 20x already and it doesn't get old.
This song convinced me to quit my grind of a job to focus on myself and my lovely wife. I now work for myself, and though I make less money than I did before, I'm much happier. I did my time in a windowless box Like it or not. All I've got now is today Tomorrow ain't here And yesterday's gone dead on my anyway. I decided to forget about yesterday, stop worrying about tomorrow, and do something with today. Thanks for liberating my soul, gents.
