im the same way bro ive had both.. complete isolation and having "those nights" and i can tell you right now, those nights are the only thing that hurt while ive isolated myself
I was anti social myself, but some go through the hard battles early on. To make us stronger and spread the word when we can, that we have been there. It gets easier the more you expose yourself at your end pace. ♥ stay strong, safe, and keep hope all🤗
I know Skillet tends to drop religious meaning into songs, but this sounds like someone who just misses their childhood with friends having no care. ✊🏻
That's actually so close. According to Genius, this is a song which John Cooper made when he had abusive parents (i think? i don't know it's been a while since I've read it) and always hung out with his bestfriend to escape it
@@yoruka_ according to him at a concert, he would go over to his best friend's house after having to deal with either verbal or physical abuse from his father.
My best friend and I were best friends throughout high school. This was our song. We went through everything together. But now that we hit college, she changed into a completely different person and now we hardly talk...friendships are important...always be thankful for them, you never know how long they're going to last.
yea I love my childhood :D And I feel like I'm one of not many that realize that what we have now is so awesome... I know I'm gonna miss this good life when I'll become an adult. There are good things in being adult, but it all depends on you eventually, if you know how to enjoy and not waste your life on the boring stuff (like work).
I grew up with Skillet and Three days grace... This song describes my teen years... When I was 15... My BIG GROUP OF FRIENDS went to each other's houses. Stayed all night.. Guys and girls... Watching tv... Horror movies... Playing video games... Tried our first cigarettes... Our first alcohol... Had my first kiss and my first girlfriend My first physical moment with my 1st girlfriend Those were the days and nights... Those summer nights kept me alive and my friends... Now I'm 24 And all of us All of us 24 people Have split... Some got married and made kids... Some left the country... Some of us left and moved to a different city... Those were the nights... Nothing lives forever... But I will cherish those memories always...❤😔
This is one of my favorite songs because my sons friends would always come to my house to feel safe.It also gave me opportunity to talk about Jesus. Still to this day I give a warm safe place to sleep away from problems at home.
I miss having a good friend to talk to and just being able to feel loved at the moment I feel so alone... thanks Skillet for your music it makes me feel like someone actually cares about how I feel you guys are awesome.
dakota gray, I have a similar feeling I have a best friend but we haven't talked in a while. Im still trying to get ahold of him to this day we last talked after Christmas eve and the a week ago from when I wrote this
Man this really brings me back when me and my cousin would stay the night at each others houses when we were young laughing at the stupid things we did but now we have grown up and we don't hang out anymore which makes me really sad because we got along so well ;(
Devon Mazak same here except my cousin moved out the house he was living at my grandparents house all the nights we spent in that house man I can. remember the sunlight hitting me in my face when I slept on the couch now 14 it's been since January 2014 never seen him since my grandparents passed my grandma in may 2013 and my dad as well lung cancer due to drugs in November 2013 then my grandpa in January 2014 man such good times maybe 1 day I'll see those moments again such good times
My best friend recommended this song to me. I'm graduating this year while he will still be in high school and he told me this song summarizes our memories we've created. This really reminds me of us, such a beautiful song
The line"didn't wanna go home 'till another fight" could have been Mortal Kombat or something. This makes me think of me, right now, listening to Skillet at 2:00 am (1:59 but whatever)
One of my friends always listens to my problems and is there no matter what, through every hard problem I've ever crossed and ever will come across. I can't begin to imagine how you feel, but I understand the need to have someone to talk to and listen to your feelings. God knows all, and will always listen to you :) He's the one way through every problem.
this reminds me of me and my mom she died at age 33 in January this songs reminds me of me and my mom and the memorys we had together miss you mom love you.
Im so sorry :( I know how that feels when I was very little like 4 or 5 i lost my best friend to leukemia. I lost another friend to cancer a few years after that. I think we will always miss them. You learn to cope with it but it never goes away sadly :( we will see them one day though.
I've been very depressed lately because I just found out that my cousin was doing drugs. When we were little I would spend the night at his house and we would stay up the while night all the time. When listening to this song it reminds me of him
this describes me and my friend cuz i was going through a suicidal time and he helped me he would come over every night and we would stay up all night talking a playing videogames
All of Skillet's songs are so amazing,and inspirational for people who are going through the same thing. They have so much meaning,and really speak to you. This is one of my favourites. I can relate.
I love how this song can make people relate to either friendship, or love. This song reminds me of my best friend, and the lyrics are a perfect representation of what we do almost every weekend. we vent to each other about our problems, and go home feeling a little bit better :)
This song makes me cry but it reminds me friends will always be there to help you and not keep you from doing stupid things but do stupid things with you. 😀🎶🏆
Friends will always be by your side. No matter what crap you have to go through and no matter what bottomless pit you've fallen into they'll help you out 💪😀🎶🏆
my roommate showed me this song and said it was our song and at the moment, I was not being a good friend, this song opened my eyes and now it is officially one of my favorite(: I love you jasmine!
I love this song and cry when I hear it. Not because it's sad but I don't have anyone in my life like that to spend time with. There's that someone I'd want to spend all the time in the world with but I can't :(""
Its a positive alternative.. but this symbolizes faith. that even when its rough to hold on. and I know it talks about 2 pl. but the Lord will place people around you that you can have relationships to cherish. ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. God Bless. The Lord can comfort you.. you don't have to feel that way.. just know that Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life. Give your heart to Christ and he will awaken something so beautiful within your soul...
reminds me of my best friend in high school. he was the greatest person I have ever met and I found out he died in a car crash a couple years ago after we lost contact. R.I.P Matt I miss you so much buddy
To my best friend Tim-- You'll never read this. You'll never know what this song means to me, but it means a lot. I remember Friday night when you hugged me and told you that you couldn't live without me. You said you loved me. And I thought you meant it. But now I don't know. What I do know is that you don't talk to me anymore, and I miss you so much. I love you... Love, Eva :(
This song brings back so MANY wonderful memories with my friends from school! And my cousins as well! Just one night to do to it again I’ll be good to go😊. Just to talk to my friends stay up late,talk about are school days and laugh so hard at three in morning. And my cousins just to go out at night and play ghost in the grave yard till midnight in a bouncy house. And watch my guy cousins play video games and laugh about stupid stuff! And I was usually the one to break up there stupid fights and I’d laugh so hard. Ok I’am done rambling carry on🤦🏽♀️.
this song makes me remember my girlfriend when we started going out we would stay up all night talking over the phone. because of this song we are staying up all night tomorrow. my girlfriend loves this band she showed it to me and now im starting to like it this is my favorite song.
makes me miss my bestfriend... :'( he doesnt even know but he saved my life a couple nights... but i ruined everything over some guy who broke my heart... and now ill never have my best friend back
Ever think about explaining it to them? Maybe they are just waiting for you to reach out. A real friendship will have fights, sometimes months with out speaking even. But try to be honest about it, lay your feelings out there and explain what was going on in your head back then and that you realize how you acted was a mistake. It might not fix your friendship but at least you can say you tried and maybe you guys can start again?
I've been listening to this song a lot lately. I'm struggling with a decision that reminds me too much of the past. My brother and I were the best of friends, but I did a lot of stuff I'm not proud of. I want to let go of all of it and not define myself by what I've done to survive anymore. Thank you for that.
I know that feeling... I mean, my mom doesn't die but someone who I could call 'family' 'friend' died in car accident four years ago.. She could do everything for me, but I left her alone when she needed me most.. If I knew then it'll our last conversation
This was our class song back in 2011. I also sit back and remember back in my sophomore year of high school, this girl i really liked, had a crush on, treated me like no other girl ever treated me (she always made me smile). She was really someone I could talk to. But that bridge burned down along time ago, and I haven't spoken to her in almost 8 years.
Thanks ^^ tear of happiness dropped this song reminds me my first night with my girl on her garden in a chalet... We just watched tv talked about everything we were laughing all night.. And listened to the radio... This chorus is exactly describing that night... You know that feeling when song reminds you something ? Something nice or bad ? I even *again* realized that i love her much more than i thought i do. And also sorry for loss of everyone who misses someone who died. So if you read it all have a nice day and hey do something nice to someone you like or even love... Or do something nice to any stranger you don´t even know how you can make their day better ^_^
I have a close friend ive known for 4 years and 8 months. She keeps freaking track of that xD we faced it all together. Shes like family and a better sister then the one i have. Every night we talked all night long kept us both alive even though we both had major problems. We kept each other alive and it all paid off in the end
Reminds me of me and my best friend. We used to stay at each other's houses literally every night. We were so close it was unbelievable. But then we had a fight, something changed. Even though we sometimes hangout it's never been the same :(
rise your hand if you cried listening To the song omg tho good old days aaaaaaaahhh man i wish they come back every thing was soo gooood and beutiful and nice )))))))))::::::::::: when we was little kids i now that the song talk about hard times but it remmember me the good times too
you'll drive yourself nuts obsessing about the past. Im not saying don't remember the past, especially the good stuff, but don't let it keep you from enjoying the present. I made that mistake for way too long and wasted some great years.
+THE HUNTER هلا والله جبيتك من افاتارك ميتل جير عشق هاللعبه آآآآه 💔💔💔 من يوم اني صغير الى الحين واللعبة هذي مستمره معي وقصتها المعقدة طبعا 💔😅 Kojima for ever
I absolutely love this band, while they are christian, they state clearly their music isn't just for christians, that each song has 100 different meanings, and it's made for everyone. This song reminds me of high school summers with my best friend and sister, those two kept me alive, and it seems as we grow up, we've all drifted apart. I miss those days.
this song was mine and my sister krista before she killed herself i played this at her funreal she died in my arms. than i joined the us marines and got her name tattooed on my arm with a stitch. she was the closest person to me people dont understand what its like to have a loved one die in ur arms
I just gained a brand new appreciation for this song because in his new book, John says he wrote this song as a reflection of what he was going through as a teenager when his mom was dying.
This song is perfect for me and my friends Sam and Eric. If anything bad was happening at my house i would run into my bedroom, lock the door and call them to come over. they would come five mins after through my window and bring snacks and movies and we wuld watch them until we fell asleep and in the morning they wuld go home. we still do that but not for those reasons anymore. Thank you guys for being there for me through it all i love you guys sooo freaking much.
My childhood was anything, but good, that being said there are and will always be people that have it worse than you. This song is amazing, so many times, with a few of the friends I did have we would play video games all night and then watch videos, and this is just nostalgic.
I miss my grandma she alive but she don't always remember me all the time so I miss that and her being happy but my mom my dad and I take her out and have fun
One of my best friends (more like a brother) showed me this. He stays up late with me all the time because I've got so much going on. I am blessed with 2 people in my life like that. They are my angels. I really wouldn't be here without them.
reminds me of my boyfriend (soon to be fiancee) and me. i come from a controlling and overbearing family where most nights end in fights/tears and i actually dread coming home every night. He's stuck by my side through a lot these past 6 years....those nights truly make a difference in my life....i love you forever and always
Congrats on being engaged (soon) You two sound perfect together, and I hope you have a wonderful life. I'm assuming and hoping you two will move in together and you will finally be free from your family. Before you leave them, say "Dobby is a free elf. Dobby has no master" and run as fast as you can.
The most human and down-to-earth song I've ever heard, ever. What Skillet did here is awesome, heart-warming and (I'm sure) relatable for many people, at the same time :)
This song brings me back to summer, 2014. Was up all night long with friends blasting music, knocking back shots, n playing CoD every single night. And i'll never forget the 4th of July that year, best and most memorable night ever. Really wish i could relive that entire summer at least one more time. 2014 wasn't that long ago but almost everyone i knew back then is a ghost now cuz we've all grown up and started our adult lives of mundane responsibility... But we made our last care-free summer count! \m/
I remember when me and my brother would stay up all night playing video games. I miss that so much, he was always there for me. He is the best brother ever, he made everything okay again. When mom and dad were fighting, my brother was always there to hold me. He's like my hero. I don't know what I would ever do without my big bro. Those nights kept me right.
