I'm glad my younger self listened to this song as a pre-teen that way I could come back here and listen as an adult during a time in my life when I need to hear it all. Thanks younger me, and thanks Relient
There are still a ton of great pop-punk bands. Neck Deep, Seaway, Grayscale, State Champs, Man Overboard, Waterparks.... I just miss it being mainstream and almost everyone knowing it. It was easier to make friends.
This song "randomly" popped into my head today and I was singing it for no reason... so I looked it up and I'm here. I hope anyone else finding themselves here is doing well and fighting the good fight.
This is the last thing my sister sent me. Last Christmas we were jamming out to the old school good songs we grew up on and it was awesome. I started this thing where we would send songs to each other. All I did was thumbs up this song. I never sent a song back. She's gone now, I just got word today. Goodbye Michelle.
God was low-key hitting me with the gospel before I even knew him. I just thought it was a cool song back then lol Also, love the ending (those last notes), on the album version!
@@ashleechan22 I thought it was about a girl naively lol. Listening to it as an adult I can hear the gospel undertones. It's so subtle honestly I may not have known if I didn't know they were Christian
@Fuck Yeah Destroy Me why don't you let people believe what they want to believe. I don't believe in religion myself but nothing gives me the right to force my (non)beliefs down people's throat.
It's 2018 and I am turning 27. When I first heard this song in 2004 I was 13, literally half a lifetime away. Hearing this song again really bring me back. So much has changed and I really missed the days of being a carefree teen...
Totally.. I'm 25 and it's like where did the time go. So much has changed but it seems like it did in the blink of an eye. It's great how one song can bring back all those carefree feelings.
I’m 65. This song was genius when I first heard it, still is today, and it is so reassuring to know that it reached so many young people with the message of God’s real love…
I'm 14 and never listened to music like this till my dad started playing reliant k and now I know every song and love them, I really hope they do one more tour so I can see them live!!
Something about being a 31 year old mom to 3 boys and being able to listen and show them some of the bands I used to listen to is the most priceless and rewarding experience. Music like this when I was younger literally saved me.
Saw these guys live with Simple Plan and Good Charlotte...2005 Noise To The World Tour...I was 17 and had the time of my life..Front row, center...Pierre from Simple Plan climbed up on top of me during a song and used my arm to hold himself up over the crowd...What a concert...Ill never forget them slinging water bottles on the crowd and how refreshing it was inside that hot venue.
Holy fucking Shit...A tune I probably haven't heard in close to a decade....Nostalgia overload... When you're 34, your younger days have long since past...God this is literally physically painful nostalgia... ;_;
Just wait till we hit 84 or even 94 then we will really feel old, enjoy your youth man, take care of yourself and your body. Your only as old as you feel
"And the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair" has stuck with me for the last 16 years. I was 13 when this song came out and I'm 29 now. And amidst a really difficult situation, the Holy Spirit brought this particular lyric back to mind and MAN is it powerful. ❤️
"This life sentence that I'm serving I admit that I'm every bit deserving, but the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair." I love this line! I keep replaying this part, because it makes me so happy! Each time I hear my smile gets bigger, and my eyes start to fill with tears. It's the greatest thing knowing that no matter how many times I mess up, that God still loves and forgives me. So thank you Relient K for this reminder, because sometimes I think we all need a reminder.
I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so you won't even know me Apart from this whole world that shares my fate This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption Because I know to live you must give your life away And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there's no way in knowing Where to go, promise I'm going because I gotta get outta here I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I gotta get outta here And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape. I'm giving up on doing this alone now 'Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there And this life sentence that I'm serving I admit that I'm every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair 'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there's no way in knowing Where to go, promise I'm going because I gotta get outta here 'Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake I gotta get outta here And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging You to be my escape. I am a hostage to my own humanity Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made And all I'm asking is for you to do what You can with me But I can't ask You to give what You already gave 'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there's no way in knowing Where to go, promise I'm going because I've gotta get outta here I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake I've gotta get outta here And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape. I fought you for so long I should have let you in Oh how we regret those things we do And all I was trying to do was save my own skin But so were you So were you
It’s 2020, I’m an adult now. I was struggling so hard to remember the song name and who did it. Finally I gave up and tried to remember the feelings when first hearing this song as a kid, now here i am. Feeling lost, hurt, but trying to understand my situation and do better for myself and those involved
I listened to this song in middle school all the time & loved it, never knowing it was a Christian band. I’m still not religious & I’m sure I never will be but it’s a beautiful song & can speak to anyone, religious or not. This isn’t the type of music I listen to anymore too, but I still enjoy giving it a listen every few years when it pops into my mind.
back when i was in kindergarten, my dad would always play relient k in the car so this song and “who i am hates who i’ve been” give me a strong sense of comfort when i listen to them. i’m not that religious by any means but these songs remind of a simpler time, i’m 22 now and can finally relate to the lyrics and understand them.
At 19 when this came out I was into my punk rock/emo pop rock phase. This and something corporate, jacks mannican, sum 41, simple plan, blink 182, new found glory, etc. was my music of choice. Now hear i am jamming out to it once again with my 8yr old kid while I'm 38.
I haven't heard this song in ten years. I stumbled onto this by accident, looking for different lyrics. I had completely forgotten about it; chokes me up hearing it again. This song helped me hold on through some dark times, and now I feel like I've found a long lost friend again. Thank you for posting! :3
Wow, the nostalgia. I remember having such a hard time many years ago in college, and Relient K really helped me pull through. Fell even more in love when I found out they were a Christian band. Love their songs so much!
@@SourceCod33 They must not listen to a lot of music because there's a ton of music out there with meaningful lyrics and good messages. Especially in the rock/metal/metalcore genres.
The "locked in side the house while you hold the key, I've been dying to get out that might be the death of me" part hits different during covid 19 #quarantine era.....
I’m 33 for some reason feels wild to me I can go multiple years with out listening to rk. Put on a album and rock out/ sing all the somgs and have it give me shivers! praise God❤️
we used to listen to this song at the beginning of our relationship almost exactly 3 years ago. it's our song, we broke up yesterday. I hope I still can fix it.. i don't want 3 amazing years to be thrown away. but i still want to thank you relient k
I've been going crazy because I've tried so hard to remember the name of this song and the name of who singed it, but today I finally remembered some lyrics, I'm so happy right now lol ♡♡♡
heard this song when i got my driving license and i kept running this song and "who i am hates who ive been" all the time. i got to know my girlfriend then and my wife now. oh man, i was so in love with her am im still. thank you for all the good memories relient k!
Dad played Reliant K when we would drive back from church at night in his manual stick little black Miata I’m now 19 and remembered Reliant K and goodness gracious my freshman year of high school when I was the most anxious Reliant K was my go to group to listen to. Thanks dad.
July, 2023. I get it now. And I need someone to help me escape my own life because I can't do it by myself anymore. I thought I had to do everything by myself and now I need someone else to help bring in my new life I want for myself. Truly a humbling reality
Most people are here from nostalgia but this video just kept coming up in my recommendations 😅 i was probably like 2 years old when this song came out.... its amazing though
I used to listen to your music, I then forgot your band name after awhile....I saw a video on my recommended playlist, Relient K? I was pretty sure I knew them...When I went into your music, I started to remember that I used to listen to this music, especially the song who am I hates who I've been. I'm glad I have found them again....
Grace of God has not became for vain;I am becoming 21 this December. Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins and paying them in full so that I and nobody who believes on His name wouldn't have to go the fires of Hell; Amen. Not drukards, homosexuals, idolators NOR sinners will enter the heaven of God which of whom all of us are! We just have to repent and trust on Christ in order to be saved!
First heard this music back when I was 16 back in 2006. . . now I'm 32 and hearing it again is exactly what I needed! Love the messages! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷🌌🌌🌌💜💜💜
Saw these guys live back in 05 I think, they opened for Simple Plan and Good Charlotte in Springfield Missouri. Probably one of the best concerts I went to in high school.
I remember watching the music video for this song with my father constantly as a little kiddo. Couldn't have been older than 8 at most. This song quickly became the song of my childhood and I would rather no other. Thank you, relient k, for giving me at least some good memories.
Just recommended this song to someone near and dear to me. This song means so much to me. Thank you Dakota for showing me this during our late night cruises Can’t wait til you open up the gates for me 💜
I am sooooooo glad my parent’s grew up with this kind of music! I’m not a big fan out the new-age type of of stuff like shape of you and stuff like that. Soooo thankful for my parent’s! Really thankful they weren’t into freakin country😂 (In my opinion I don’t like country)
