A loving girlfriend, a supportive and loving father, awesome friends . even with all of these things depression still has its pull. so "you have nothing to be sad about" dosent work and this video shows that awesomly. great job guys
It’s sad that nobody knows about testosterone supplements. The reason so many men are depressed nowadays is because of low testosterone levels. I would go ask your doctor to get your test levels checked
The loudest cry for help is the one you never hear. It's hard to explain depression and anxiety to people who don't suffer, but I think this song nailed it.
I agree on the fact that it's (nearly) impossible to describe to people what it feels like. It's a great song and an amazing video i can somewhat relate to, but to be honest it only shows a small part of this sickness. I've never seen a picture/video/song that truly shows what it feels like. I imagine it'd be really disturbing to watch/hear.
@@drphilsrightnut2291 It does depened on what type of medication you are taking. Some anti-depressants do numb you and put you into a trance, some anti-depressants do not "numb" you, and it may feel like you are not even taking them, some anti-depressants do not numb you, but they do give you a feeling of "happiness", but you are still in control of yourself and not in a zombie like state, etc. (At least that has been my personal experience), but anti-depressants have different types of effects on different people.
@@drphilsrightnut2291 Yeah they just take the pain away from depression, you still hate yourself, you still want to be alone. Your just content with it now.
I think the ending is probably the most sad/depressing/ aching part of the song. He takes his "happy pills" puts on a drug induced smile, everyone embraces him and goes to acting like he's 'fixed' when in reality he's just coasting thru life in a fog. And the smile while the repeating outro line. Almost as if saying either live a depressed life or live a fake happy life. This hits hard. Brilliant music video
I do not think that that was the point. I think the idea was that sometimes you need a hand to feel better, and to get your life on track. There is no shame asking for or accepting the help you need, and he was finally able to take the first step on that road to a better life. It is not always fast or easy, but you will never get there at all if you do not take that step.
@@andrewhayes1420 I agree with you completely. I'm so happy I finally decided to get help. It took a tricyclic anti-depressant to get me thinking the way I should. It also really helped to open up to those I love. I used to hide all my feelings and thoughts; now I see it was one of my greatest errors. Life doesn't have to always be depressing if you accept you have a problem and actually do something about it.
The worst part is when you thought you were okay for a while and suddenly you feel the same again, for no reason. Those emotions start to build up inside you sadness , anger , bitterness , hopelessness....and then nothing you're just numb. Endlesss loops of suffering and you can't even explain why.
I've been doing "ok" for like 2 months now, ok meaning not feeling sad but not feeling happy either, just floating I guess, which is better imho. though I'm fucking terrified of things going down hill again.
Still a constant battle with depression and anxiety at 30. The feeling of being alone when I'm in a room full of people gets hard at times. Much love to everyone still fighting on the daily. Keep up the fight, we aren't alone
im 32 and im with you brother its a living hell dealing with this shit its like a demon is on your back every where you just slamming your head full of negative thoughts and sucking any ounce of joy you have in you. its like that entity takes pleasure in watching you suffer
I know what u mean..keep your head up...believe me..sometimes it almost seems easier to be in a combat zone instead of the world..I've been back since 2010 and this song has nailed every morning I wake up to face the world..day at a time my friend..
You and a few other hard rock bands are not only raising awareness for depression, but raising awareness for depression in men. I’m in awe of all the “tough” and “hardcore” rock bands/singers bringing light to things that are all too often swept under the rug. Bravo.
I totally agree with you! Too many times, depression is pushed aside as not being real, especially in men. I'm so proud of I Prevail and others for showing vulnerability.
As a man who has, and even continues to, battle the scourge known as depression, it’s definitely real. It manifests differently in people and the absolute worst thing one can do or say if and when you tell them you suffer from it, is belittle it. To say you aren’t depressed. Especially if that person is a close friend of family. If someone is showing signs or even flat out tells you they have or are suffering, talk to them. Help them. Be there for them. Do not belittle them. Don’t deny it because you don’t want to believe it. Talk to them. Talk is cheap and free, suicide is forever. Suicide costs more than just a life. If someone is suffering, help them.
This song/video illustrated depression very well. It hit home for me. Most people don't understand that money and success doesn't necessarily make someone happy. Everyday is a battle. In a way, the success brings more depression because you feel the pressure to try and maintain that success. It gets in your head and is a constant source of anxiety. Especially with thousands of people messaging you everyday online saying you suck. Or fans begging for more of your past successes. It makes us have impossible standards for ourselves. Trying to love yourself is extremely difficult. I appreciate you sharing your struggle, Brian. It helps me feel i'm not alone in this battle with depression.
Not The Expert Love your videos man!! Anyone can suffer from depression, no matter who they are. I’m glad this song does such a great job illustrating what it’s like to be depressed. It truly is hard to explain to people who have never felt it.
Don't worry man, your not alone. It doesn't matter what you do for a living, where you are, what you're beliefs are, this kind of stuff doesn't discriminate. Your free to message me on here and we can bounce shit off each other, I'm all about helping you out if it keeps the pain away.
if someone ever asks what depression feels like... this songs explains it very well how some of us feel... Hugs to all who struggle with depression and anxiety, you're not alone!
Worst part is... Even when you want help... And you know others want to help... You still cannot accept it. It feels like you are a burden upon them, and the moment you try to explain they still don't get it, so you fake your happiness so that they will leave you alone. And you continue struggling. The sad thing about being depressed is that you are your own enemy
Yes in my case I know my friends care really much. But depressions say the don't fcking care just don't join the call u are gonna annoy them. even if u know it isn't true
It makes me sad how so many of us can relate to this. Stay strong 💪 (Edit) To anyone reading I hope your struggles get better and always do your best, it may not be great now but if you’re at the bottom the only other way to go is up.
And everyone just say god you're such a grump... you're never happy you never smile. NO SHIT... what's your problem... oh nothing just want to watch the world burn. Except you cant say that
I suffer from depression....I struggle everyday...I'm hoping that I score my job interview on Monday soo I can stop sitting at home with my thoughts!!! This is what we need music that speaks on mental health issues!!! Ty Brian and I Prevail
I don't know what hit me more: the lyrics, the imagery, the sound itself. I didn't think anything could illustrate how I felt. That black tar weighs on me every day. We can get through this. Whoever is reading this, you're not alone.
Brian... the battles people face, I face, you face, the lyric hits home. I came out of a mental hospital just a week before seeing you live, only to find you weren’t there because you were fighting your own demons. Your music speaks to me. And I know I’m not the only one. This song, it made me tear up. Stay strong. ✊🏼
Or, ya know, you can stop being a cry baby bitch and nut up. Ancient man had to deal with unforgiving weather, no constant food supply, predatory animals and disease. You could die from an infection that resulted from a small cut but fuckers like you are depressed. Depressed from what? Someone didn't like your insta post? Mommy and daddy didn't give you that puppy you wanted? Couldn't beat a video game? People like you are the biggest pussies I've ever heard of. Glad the survival of the human race didn't relie on folks like you.
@@savage-skull yeah man that will help everyone thats depressed. "Cry baby, bitch". People like you are the problem. Ive been depressed for years now and its not from a lack of trying for a better life. You have no idea what it feels like to have the thoughts of just saying "fuck it i give up" but here i am still pushing through it. Going to work everyday, trying to pay the bills i cant afford everyday, buying cheap food because i cant afford decent meals. Maybe i should get a better job? Cant do that i messed up my credit years ago when i was younger so i cant get a loan for school to get the better paying job. So here i am stuck in a loop i dont know how to get out of. And thats what im sick of, the same daily routine ive been in for years with no progress toward a better me. But dont worry man, ill just stop being "a cry baby, bitch". ☝
Absolutely love this song man. Totally sad how many people can relate... the fact that so many people deal with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues is fucked up. Thanks I prevail for making such relatable songs.
Yup, the meds. I’m in the exact same prescription but twice the dose. I don’t smile, but it numbs shit, if I had something to smile about I probably would though.
This is exactly how i felt ,everyday was the same,negative thoughts, same thoughts, no willpower to do anything. I isolated from everyone and almost end it last year, literally on my forced walk, a dog saved me, when he bumped me in my hand with his wet nose. At that moment i felt alive,i smiled from my heart , moments before that i was thinking which tree would be the best,so no one finds me and i don't put anyone through trauma of finding me. Im grateful i stayed , it does get better,but is a lifelong commitment.
Depression is a struggle and this song not only brought awareness but showed a perfect example of what it can be like. Its a hard thing to live with. 😞
I feel the same way. I can’t remember the last time I had a period of happiness. Depression sucks because even though you know you need help and want others in o help you feel this need to punish yourself and just waste away on the couch or in a bottle or with a pill. I don’t know how I’ve survived this long. I guess I’m hard to kill. Anyone struggling with depression hang in there. If you’re still surviving then you haven’t lost yet.
I lost a very close friend of mine, this past September. It’s been hard keep myself positive, Somedays. Now, my wife is pregnant and I feel happy, almost unbelievably so. Now, it’s a fight to keep focused on the ray of hope, while expecting the other shoe to drop.
I'm still here. So are you. There's a reason for that. Just need to find what that reason is. Bipolar depression sucks. Not knowing how I'm going to feel from day to day...I can pretty much assume I'll be down.
Thankyou for being a real person, and making real music. Maybe people will realize depression isn't something you can just get over... Thankyou for trying to help people understand...
Man I'm only 21 and this shit hits home, I haven't felt joy in over a year and the only thing keeping me going is making sure my parents don't have to attend my funeral. You're not alone people, someone cares for you
I know exactly what you feel like and I also know the other side. My best friend ended her pain 7 years ago but now its passed to her friends and family. Stay strong.
I never felt like myself on medication. It was like a fake me in the driver's seat while I sit passenger side and watch everything. I understand the struggle, and I cherish this song and music video. Thank you.
Just found your comment. I hope everything is ok with your life now. Idk if you read tos message but I suffer the same but I’m no letting that shit get over me. I’m still struggling but I now this shit is going to be over soon
You laid it out on the table. Left no room for interpretation. Because it's too real to skirt around the issue. I can't imagine this song was easy to come out with just for the fact that when you're depressed, the easiest thing to do is shut everyone and everything out. You should feel really proud for doing this Brian. Thank you for reaching out to everyone who struggles until they are numb... Thank you. Because it's not easy being your own worst enemy
The moment when he's in the shower and bends at the waist and just SCREAMS. I've been there. Some days I'm still there. When I was a kid I used to think everyone felt this way at some point. After I had kids, I thought NO ONE possibly felt the way I did. Now, as a 34 year old mother of two, I am just beginning to see that it's not something that goes away or gets better or is even cured with meds. It's something you fight every day. You fight it by talking about it, by taking the meds, by leaning on your family, and some days, by bending at the waist and SCREAMING. The black tar is bad, but it's so much worse when it's on the inside. You have to get it out.
It can get better, though. Not saying you won't always have those days when you need to scream. But the intervention of a good therapist coupled with the right medication can make a big difference. You CAN have an improved quality of life. Don't give up.
hey lydia ive dealt with depression for as long as i can remember and i grew up as an only child with no dad and an absent mother so i was alone for many years and developed anxiety and suicidal thoughts... i am now 39 and have 7 kids.... i always try to get better but i dont believe in meds to fix the issues or a shrink.... that stuff is just a bandaid in reality its something that will forever live inside you because its your DNA not a god dam disease like people are saying it is... i can not stand people and doctors who say that!!! you dont just wake one day and contract depression..... it was def passed on to me by my mother who has suffered her whole life with it and took every med there was and went to the shrinks but still she tried to commit suicide!!! my relief to my given depression is MUSIC!!! this song speaks to me like no other.... hit me right in the feels i wish more bands would be this bold to put a face to the madness we feel inside when we here about all the death and destruction in this crazy world.... i seek gods answers everyday
I've been dealing with severe depression and many attempts of suicide and its hard to explain the feeling but this is a perfect way to tell the feeling
Man, you weren't kidding when you said on Twitter that this album opened up a lot of old wounds and y'all went deep into your hearts with it. Both songs so far are straight 🔥🔥🔥 guys. Keep em coming. Also, Brian, stay strong man, I deal with it everyday as well l. It's a major battle, sometimes you feel as though you're on the losing end, but never forget you have your band mates there for you who love and care for you just like we do, your fans. 🤘 rock on brother 🤘
No but Bow down is a banger! The band really shines more when Eric is highlighted and Brian takes just the chorus like a Wage War type. just my opinion
@@al3yes_ttv479 Sometimes you have to try several different medications, until you find one that works best for you. Just try to be as honest with your doctor as you can be.
@@scientistsbaffled5730 You're not on the right medication for you personally then. It's a process, and it honestly sucks. But actually Im going through the process right now, because I want to feel better.
This is my go to song when I feel alone now. You guys helped change my life. For real. Your music inspired me to get help, and that’s probably the only reason I’m still here. Thank you guys.
I go see a counselor today for the first time, never thought this would happen to me, great kids, great wife, but the pain from the military hurts everyday. Again, never thought it was depression.. Talk to someone. please.
First, thank you so much for your service and your family's sacrifice. You are the definition of HERO! I dont know you but I'm proud of you for getting the help you need, instead of doing something drastic and tragic. Prayers for you and your family. YOU GOT THIS❤
It's so hard to admit when we need help, I'm so glad u have found strength in weakness. Thank u for ur service and sacrifices. Much love, keep ur head up brother.
Depression is being around people but feeling all alone. Depression is being told you're loved, yet feeling unwanted, unwelcome. Depression is like being trapped in your own cage with no idea how to escape. Depression is trying harder only to seemingly fail harder. Depression is waking up ready to change, but going to bed even deeper in a hole. Depression is knowing it's all in your head, yet unable to get it out of your head. Depression is unwantingly abusing substances, just to feel a little better. Depression is losing faith in yourself, no matter how many people cheer you on. Depression is pushing away those people who actually do want to help. Depression is wanting to get help, but fearing nobody would truly understand. Depression is trying really hard not to cry, even though you really want to. Depression is avoiding the world, knowing its negativity will only make matters worse. Depression is deep down wanting to not just be told you're loved, but to actually feel it. Depression is real. Millions of us try to hide it, but it grinds our gears all day long.
sometimes i doubt im a person. not sure why else i would have this level of disconnect with what im around all the time. i may as well be speaking a different language it seems. people have told me its scary how quiet i am, but i just dont see the point in talking. i either offend people or get looked at like a complete idiot, no upside to the effort of acting like it matters.
You fkn nailed it. Welcome to my life. Hardest part is not giving into the temptation of just ending it all. I mean who's gonna miss someone like me anyways?
Depression is only wanting to sleep. Because when you sleep you don’t feel the intense feeling of emptiness and sorrow that not even your favourite people and things can break. It’s exhausting and unbearable.
Amber Silvia , thank you,Amber. I went to the mental health dr today. He started me on Zoloft. He wants to start me slowly on meds. I hope they help. Thank you for being here for me.
Brady Ray You are never alone! Some of us have a harder time trying to fight our way through but that doesn’t mean you ever give up that fight! You have come so far. Never give up, never give in. Fight for you! I believe in you and I believe you are amazing no matter what. Even on your worst day, I believe in you. I may not know you but I know that same battle that I continue to fight that is in you. You are worthy. You are amazing. You are f*cking awesome!!!! To continue to fight is evidence that you have so much more strength than you believe. The struggle is real but so worth it❤️❤️❤️
@@bradyray4063 I tried zoloft and it didn't help. Hopefully it helps you. Watching my son grow helped a little. Especially considering I was a single parent raising him and couldn't depend on his mother. But hopefully you find your anchor to keep you steady.
The end of this video is the perfect visualization of the cycle of depression. Genuinely feels happy again for a small period of time, then the doubt slowly seeps back as you try to keep a brave face on, then one thing drags you back into that hole.
I came across this video by accident while I was looking for a different song . This world is filled with so many people whom are suffering from depression, just like I am. I am relieved to see that this music video helps so many of you. I am to the point where the therapy hasn't worked, meds haven't helped, my family doesn't help, what few friends I do have they haven't helped & it's not getting any better for me. I don't know where to go from here, I mean other than into that long dark tunnel. I wish this video could have been done using a happier ending, though I believe that I Prevail made the right decision by choosing not to sugar coat this "disease", and then opting to close the video & story with the ugly truth. Once again I Prevail, you've given the world something else to think about. FanFreakinTastic Job!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I know exactly what your going through. I have struggled with depression since I was 13. But I can tell you that it gets better. You’ll have highs and lows. Some that you feel like you can’t get through, but you can and you will. You’ll continue to find new things to live for and fight for. You’ll climb higher out of that valley every time. Just hang in there strong through the dark times. I’m in a much better place now at 37 and you will be in a better place too. It doesn’t work for everyone but for me training for endurance races and going back to school helped a lot. You got this! Keep fighting and be proud knowing this struggle makes you stronger than anybody who doesn’t have to deal with this!
I absolutely agree with you. But then I was explained two things by both my psychiatrist and my psychologist. The first one is that every episode (for some reason) will last longer than the previous one. And the second one is that the medication is not meant to cure you but basically what it does is to numb you, or kill the noise If you will (and help you sleep) so that you can work on the root of the problem. They also told me that exercise is super important (which I hate but it did help me during the first episode) I hope it helps. Because this type of invisible illness is the worst kind. So let's hope ,like ,people say that it should get better.
Humanity has in vain and naivette, attempted to seperate itself from its primal nature over the ages. Those who fear in jealousy of a person's potential, especiallialy when assuming the other could displace them for a social position or pull their eyes from potential mates by overshadowing their potentials, will attempt to either stifle the growth of another by any means to make them devalue themselves or to get them to relocate from the jealous person's self-declared social turf (which could be to harm them if not seek to kill them in the extreme of responses). Those who lack empathy, and think only in logic, are sadly capable of their thoughts leading to the rationalization pf violence, and yet even the most empathetic among us could also find a lapse in empathy if the primal reactivity overtakes the concious thought and jealousy flares. In the complex case of onlookers to such a situation, there are the oblivious who either are unable to be situationally aware of their surroundings or their subconcious blinds them from noticing as a defense as getting involved may make them a target or the primal in them also fears for the potential of the one currently being victimized, but in the most unhelpful of cases they are just too emotionally occupied themselves with internally taxing thought that they are unable to process data from their senses that would permit them to notice, or they have physical imparement of their senses (which can include inner brain structure or memory issues). Then you have those who notice something, may find thselves lead off the track of discovering truth they want to act on. It depends if they are twarted with being lead to be disinterested in seeking via cover story and if in the event of a failed attempt if they are willing to find a need to act on discovery. Unrelated people will help if they have a moral core to see value in being altruistic, in risking potentially their life to free someone from opression under the assumption that doing so will either permit the value of the victim to be gained by society or that the victim will verbally raise the value of the one who saved them in the eye of society (which could in specific terms mean potential mates -which would be seen as primal or carnal reasoning). As such, the savior can very much be self focused in reasoning behind their actions, and if verbalized could very well insult a saved victim which could in turn just mark them for another to target the victim so the "hero" can continue having people to save as each instance brings more social wealth to them. Finding a hero with true concern for others is not impossible though, as it is only the person who has thought beyond saving for the sake of feeling the chemical reactions in the brain from doing a perceived good for another who is able to taint their good deeds with a twist of shifted focus on selfish gain from doing so. The act can go from bright spirited to dim though. It goes dark when compensation beyond social gain is requested or a bounty was the driving force, yet society tells us to treat financial wealth equivalent to social value of their efforts in an economy. This can get a society well hung up, as the disparity of wealth, when these values to the curreny of finacial wealth are not conveyed, is seen as a social insult to those who realize a disparity but were being lured and baited en mass out of their wealth and thus social value whilst it being propogated and insinuated otherwise that the masses of society had the opposite intents and desire. This betrayal leads to a society failing, and economy going with it due to being treated and concieved as an extention of the expression of the value of a person. It was an overstep and blunder to take something that was representative of valuation and also tack upon it the representation of debt, for humanity is not able to as a whole agree on value of deeds let alone goods as these values are personal and thus always in fluctuation based on the number who do or don't see value in one aspect or other of anything that could be scrutinized for valuation. We are a messy species.
I'm not gonna pretend like I read all that But I read the 1st light 2 paragraphs and yeah pretty close I guess Plus I applaud you for doing all that work
sounds to me like the pills just suppress it. yes he is smiling and seems more friendly in the end but the lyrics repeat I dont really like myself. underneath he still struggles. just my opinion. happens to people I know too.
@@streetzyskater you're absolutely right. Those Kind of pills only hide the Problems you have with dealing with depression. Thats why the End somehow shows for me another falling into the "hole" Depression is.
@@Cortrakx3 Pills and therapy are working just great for me. Of course it's completely subjective and your experience compared to my experience or the hundreds of millions of other people who suffer with this shit are not going to be the same at all.
I've been battling clinical depression for over 10 years now and though it has improved it will rear its head every now and then. For those currently struggling I have two pieces of advice. Look into and study stoic philosophy, and practice gratitude. It can be hard to feel grateful when you want to end your life but finding gratitude is the small things adds up overtime. Stoicism can also help shift your thoughts to embrace difficulties and overcome them. stay strong.
This song is freaking, the emodiment of how I feel. Literally, this song is where I come to when I'm having a depressive episode. Sometimes people just don't understand the people who seem like they're okay, really aren't okay.
i agree so much i been an addict for 14 years and hid my fake smile for so long and been so deepressed nobody cared or even noticed tell i had to get help before ahh yeah
Today I found this music. I listen again and again. I have been suffering from depression for 10 years. This music gives me a lot of strength! Very good lirycs!
Man, the part that hit me hard was when she tried to show him something she was really excited about, and he just couldn't bring himself to care. I've done that many times and I feel so guilty for it when it happens. Its just so hard to care about anything when you're that low.
lol if you shoot down or dont care about something your partner tries to show you, it‘s the most probable indicator that you and your partner break up There‘s research on it, should google it
This!!!! 2 years late but you hit exactly what i relate too. My inner self crawls to care about what's going on even though i really want to care i can't find the strength to do it.
I'm struggling with Depression and Anxiety at 35 and this hits home, no matter how much support you have you feel alone. I feel like nobody understands me.
I'll be 48 years old this month. In my late 20's I wanted to blow my head off. THIS VIDEO HAS THAT FEELING! "I think I think too much!" It's a great song! Thank you I Prevail! I'm happy that I made it this far. Not everyone does. Not everyone has a choice. Choose life and and get help where you can get it.
Hey guys, I see so many of you dealing with depression. I just want to let you know it's going to be ok, just keep pushing! I was at a low point in my life years ago to where I couldn't function from depression, I quit my job ,lost everything, and slit my wrist to the bone, It was so bad that I had to do physical therapy for a year and a half to be able to move my hand again. I still have no feeling till this day in my left hand. This depression went on for years but I kept going through the motions. And one day it all changed, I have never been this happy. I know it seems hopeless all the time but I promise you the hard times will make you stronger, just dont give up. You got this!
The self hatred is one thing I thought no one else had. That final "I don't really like myself" hits so hard. And that escitalopram. Spent the better part of a decade on that
I'm 49 and last week my 49 year old friend from childhood asked me to check this band out. I waited until today. Anyway, he died by suicide on Monday. I'm not blaming anyone or anything but I'm guessing he might have liked this song. Wow. Thanks for being my friend all these years bro. Love you man
I can see how him casually mentioning how he likes this band mightve been a way to call for help without actually asking for it, i mean, what kinda mental state do u gotta be in to like this music. Just a speculation though. Im sorry for your loss, i hope u have great memories of him to look back on
It doesn’t really show its depth. I know because that’s where I’m at and the pills don’t work and not everybody you know cares about what condition you’re in.
Hence his last few words "i don't really like myself" if he's anything similar to myself. I can't stand myself on antidepressants. It changes me and my cognitive abilities are out the window. It all still bugs you. You're just numb to it.
I felt the same feeling when I was listening to Leave out all the rest for the first time. I was going through suicidal bouts at the time so it was like I was hearing my own thoughts laid in front of me.
This time last year, I was suicidal. I Prevail's music was the anchor I latched onto while I screamed my pain from the depths, thinking my words fell on deaf ears. You guys were coming to Northern Invasion in May. One of my best and oldest friends from my childhood I haven't seen since I was like 17 was going to come up to see the show...I was barely holding on. Then at the show, my cousin hears a heart monitor beep, grabs me and pulls me closer to the stage " oh my God, it's your song, let's go!" That connection when you played "Pull the Plug" was the first time I started to feel better in a long time. This new video perfectly captures what a bad day is like in my head. Right down to the days I just want to lock myself in a scalding shower and scream, tragically self-aware of how toxic some of my thoughts are. Aware, but unable to put them down either. Thanks for this one, guys. It feels good to be vulnerable; and I don't think I could've done it without your help.
I was totally there during Northern Invasion. Shit was fire and these guys were amazing. Definitely was amazing. Plus, WCAR was there too... That was the last time I ever saw Kyle perform too... Damn.
I was at Northern Invasion as well and this was my first time seeing them live. For sure an amazing concert to remember and such an amazing band and song, it’s great to see artists doing this to raise awareness for depression because of how common it is in society today. I hope things are getting better for ya dude!
I randomly message people asking if they’re ok. No rhyme or reason. Most, if not all are going through something we can’t see. I went through the hardest time of my life without a peep from anyone. Instead of letting that make me a monster. I choose to give the gift I never received. Much love guys!
I feel immensely comforted, hearing lyrics from someone struggling day to day with similar issues to my own. I've noticed a number of snarky comments on songs like this that approach the uncomfortable topic of mental illness, things like "the new generation is going to be full of emo kids," or, "what happened to all of the happy music?" I think that there have always been a lot of depressed people but that it's just now becoming less taboo to sing about it. I love the exposure that mental illness is getting from this, I feel it's very important and that people need to know the sneaky signs that are red flags that someone is spiraling downward. I almost resorted to doing something entirely regrettable a month ago, then when I started feeling a lot better my former fiance dumped me (he understandably couldn't hack being around that kind of energy). That was my first time being broken up with (always been the dumper, never the dumpee), & he did it over text lol. I was devastated by it. That combined with being back to living with my parents again & a number of other contributing factors I started feeling suicidal again. I'm doing much better now which is awesome, but just found out last night that my best friend heavily self mutilated and almost succeeded with committing suicide herself. This is an important topic that needs to become publicly known and I'm so happy that more popular bands like I Prevail are getting important things out there, "depression/suicide 101" things like self-isolation being a big indicator that shit might hit the fan, when often it is misinterpreted as merely being standoffish. An important message presented in a beautiful way that leaves my ears hungry for more...my hat is off to these guys 👏
@@littlebeanboozke52yearsago2 YES I am so in agreement with this statement. Our culture preaches the false truth that crying makes men weak, less strong, emasculated, "sissies." Bullshit. The ability to face painful emotions, to lean into complete grief & to allow the mind to begin processing heavy shit that needs to be processed instead of stuffing things down & instinctively fleeing...that takes an IMMENSE amount of strength & courage.
I'm the youngest of four brothers and it's taboo to show any emotion. I push it down. In my early thirties and I work around guys who are all older than me and they come from a generation of "Shut up and do your job". Can't show any emotion, so I push it down. I don't want to show my depression to my girlfriend, I don't want her to have a "whiny" boyfriend. I push it down.
I'm 26 as well and dealing with depression, social anxiety lost many friends, never had a date that lasted longer than a month and a job that didn't last a year without lashing out for no reason I'm currently looking for a job that allows me to be alone hell even a nightshift guard doing rounds at a graveyard would be fine for me..
At least you have a girl. I'm 28 virgin suffering from major depressive disorder and dealing with anxiety considering suicide. Time flies and nothing happen
There is something magical about finding a song that resonates so deeply.... That perfectly reflects how you feel. You guys are amazing, never stop. Fantastic performance in Dallas!! 🙌
can definitely relate to this video on so many levels. The song threw me at first but by the end I can tell this will be a repeat jam for sure, props for making fresh & interesting stuff! Always love your guys' marketing, the first two singles drop on the same day that's sick haha
Thank you Brian ,I'm 63 old drummer and battling Depression for 18 yrs ,I stumbled upon this video ,and lost it ,Your video helped me explain to friends who didn't understand what I'm going through .May God Bless you and Heal You .... Thankyou from the bottom of my Heart. I have 2 adult boys ( musicians as well ) so I can't quit ....Thankyou Brian and Bandmates......
PTSD, and no-ones listenin. Thank u Brian, your bands music helped get this vet off the ledge...more than once. Truly grateful for the motivational music that keeps coming from the band.
Copy that brother..every morning I struggle to face the world..good days and bad...it was easier almost to only worry about keeping yourself and your crew alive...see you on the high ground
Its true theres ups and downs of the good and bad days bro, but thank you for your service too. Really excited for I Prevails future, I use music therapy for the bad days, so please keep the amazing music coming!
Thank you both so much for your service. I really do hope things get better for you both and every other vet. Please know that so many people appreciate you and your sacrifice. I understand how much everything hurts and you feel like the only emotions you feel are painful. Every other time you just feel empty. I don't have ptsd, or every served, but I do struggle with clinical depression and anxiety, so I know that much. Thank you for being alive. Thank you for being so strong. I don't really know you're life, but I hope that you'll feel at least a little better reading this. Continue to be strong.
Erica Dougherty no, there’s a difference. that’s an empty smile, it’s purely on the surface. he’s still burning up on the inside. i could relate to literally every single aspect of this video, and i laugh a lot. but it’s all empty.
Before the pill is just the depression but then after the pill is all fake it's what the pill does to you makes everyone around you think your fine and happy but you see the real person when he walks in at the end and the pill has worn off. All it is is a cycle.
Dude i felt like every lyric of this song. Amazing work, it sounded great but like holy shit man. Brian if you for some reason see this, just know that people are always there for you. And like... you’re awesome. You have great friends. I know you aren’t fully in control but still man. Do you, and please try to remember that tons of people love you.
Brian....your words hit deep, Hell that song hits deep. I live with depression it made it all just feel so much better thank you guys and please keep up the good work.
No one is ready for this album. Incredible work
This is a great year for music!!
wtf never thought you'd listen to this sort of music :O
Oh man.... by the time the albums over how much of my heart is gonna be left or still beating?
Chester Bennington is.
wtf
A loving girlfriend, a supportive and loving father, awesome friends . even with all of these things depression still has its pull. so "you have nothing to be sad about" dosent work and this video shows that awesomly. great job guys
Fr spot on
It’s sad that nobody knows about testosterone supplements. The reason so many men are depressed nowadays is because of low testosterone levels. I would go ask your doctor to get your test levels checked
Yes ,so True ,I'm living with that same story
It's so relevant
@@trenr44 it's chemical imbalances in general, not just testosterone.
The loudest cry for help is the one you never hear.
It's hard to explain depression and anxiety to people who don't suffer, but I think this song nailed it.
I agree on the fact that it's (nearly) impossible to describe to people what it feels like. It's a great song and an amazing video i can somewhat relate to, but to be honest it only shows a small part of this sickness. I've never seen a picture/video/song that truly shows what it feels like.
I imagine it'd be really disturbing to watch/hear.
This song completely nailed it
Really hit it on the head why i love this song so much it makes the silence be heard ❤
Not at all tbh
this comment is so damn relatable
"I don't really like myself" hits me so hard every time. True depression can't be explained but this song comes very close
Honestly 👏👏👏👏
Same ☺
It does come close. The line "I think I think too much" is what it is
Oh my gosh yes, that I was thinking! They nailed it in the sunken, ominous way
Same
The ending, where he's smiling and shit but you can still tell he's depressed. That shit hits home.
Meds only make you feel numb and put a forced grin on you, but the thoughts are still there.
@@drphilsrightnut2291 The worst part is when you take the meds, they numb you and you still can't smile.
@@drphilsrightnut2291
It does depened on what type of medication you are taking.
Some anti-depressants do numb you and put you into a trance, some anti-depressants do not "numb" you, and it may feel like you are not even taking them, some anti-depressants do not numb you, but they do give you a feeling of "happiness", but you are still in control of yourself and not in a zombie like state, etc.
(At least that has been my personal experience), but anti-depressants have different types of effects on different people.
Good ol xanax
@@drphilsrightnut2291 Yeah they just take the pain away from depression, you still hate yourself, you still want to be alone. Your just content with it now.
I think the ending is probably the most sad/depressing/ aching part of the song.
He takes his "happy pills" puts on a drug induced smile, everyone embraces him and goes to acting like he's 'fixed' when in reality he's just coasting thru life in a fog. And the smile while the repeating outro line. Almost as if saying either live a depressed life or live a fake happy life. This hits hard. Brilliant music video
As someone who has been depressed since I was 12 you nailed it. I’m 32 now and still depressed. Just coasting through this hellhole
I can relate. Hit the nail on the coffin.
Suicide is inevitable...
I do not think that that was the point. I think the idea was that sometimes you need a hand to feel better, and to get your life on track. There is no shame asking for or accepting the help you need, and he was finally able to take the first step on that road to a better life. It is not always fast or easy, but you will never get there at all if you do not take that step.
@@andrewhayes1420 I agree with you completely. I'm so happy I finally decided to get help. It took a tricyclic anti-depressant to get me thinking the way I should. It also really helped to open up to those I love. I used to hide all my feelings and thoughts; now I see it was one of my greatest errors. Life doesn't have to always be depressing if you accept you have a problem and actually do something about it.
The worst part is when you thought you were okay for a while and suddenly you feel the same again, for no reason.
Those emotions start to build up inside you sadness , anger , bitterness , hopelessness....and then nothing you're just numb.
Endlesss loops of suffering and you can't even explain why.
.... Exactly
Isn't this the truth. Just once you finally start to feel normal. And bam guess what I'm back. Damn voice never shuts up.
@@craigstrom8619 I feel you, keep fighting 💪
I've been doing "ok" for like 2 months now, ok meaning not feeling sad but not feeling happy either, just floating I guess, which is better imho. though I'm fucking terrified of things going down hill again.
@@sinner7788 I have those ok periods but I mostly feel a weird emptiness when it happens. Like I'm waiting for something to happen idk.
Still a constant battle with depression and anxiety at 30. The feeling of being alone when I'm in a room full of people gets hard at times. Much love to everyone still fighting on the daily. Keep up the fight, we aren't alone
im 32 and im with you brother its a living hell dealing with this shit its like a demon is on your back every where you just slamming your head full of negative thoughts and sucking any ounce of joy you have in you. its like that entity takes pleasure in watching you suffer
♥️
4383 days and counting - stay strong brothers and sister, don't let 'em pull you down!
Absolutely hit nail on head with feels of alone in room full of people. It does get very hard. And most who can relate have been there. Stay strong. ❤
32 here and im usually waiting to be alone so i can break down in peace lol..
Literally felt like I was watching my own life, this hit so hard.
I know what u mean..keep your head up...believe me..sometimes it almost seems easier to be in a combat zone instead of the world..I've been back since 2010 and this song has nailed every morning I wake up to face the world..day at a time my friend..
@@russellhoffmann8353 Appreciate the words and your service. Yeah that's how I get by, day at a time... all the best friend
Me too
You believe you cannot feel any better. You will be happy again, and knowing this will make you less miserable- Abraham Lincoln.
@@russellhoffmann8353 Amen, well said Brother.
You and a few other hard rock bands are not only raising awareness for depression, but raising awareness for depression in men. I’m in awe of all the “tough” and “hardcore” rock bands/singers bringing light to things that are all too often swept under the rug. Bravo.
Tyler Rourke I totally feel this and it’s great that people are finally addressing it
I totally agree with you! Too many times, depression is pushed aside as not being real, especially in men. I'm so proud of I Prevail and others for showing vulnerability.
I'll admit, I struggled with depression, but ultimately, I pulled through and I'm glad I Prevail made a song in awareness of it. Great job!🙏👊🏻
As a man who has, and even continues to, battle the scourge known as depression, it’s definitely real. It manifests differently in people and the absolute worst thing one can do or say if and when you tell them you suffer from it, is belittle it. To say you aren’t depressed. Especially if that person is a close friend of family. If someone is showing signs or even flat out tells you they have or are suffering, talk to them. Help them. Be there for them. Do not belittle them. Don’t deny it because you don’t want to believe it. Talk to them. Talk is cheap and free, suicide is forever. Suicide costs more than just a life. If someone is suffering, help them.
I agree dude, even bands like Crnifex have touched on the subject in a very similar manner.
This song/video illustrated depression very well. It hit home for me. Most people don't understand that money and success doesn't necessarily make someone happy. Everyday is a battle. In a way, the success brings more depression because you feel the pressure to try and maintain that success. It gets in your head and is a constant source of anxiety. Especially with thousands of people messaging you everyday online saying you suck. Or fans begging for more of your past successes. It makes us have impossible standards for ourselves. Trying to love yourself is extremely difficult. I appreciate you sharing your struggle, Brian. It helps me feel i'm not alone in this battle with depression.
You definitely arent alone in this battle. You channel kicks ass and I'll kick the ass of anyone who disagrees. Keep doing you bro.
Not The Expert Love your videos man!! Anyone can suffer from depression, no matter who they are. I’m glad this song does such a great job illustrating what it’s like to be depressed. It truly is hard to explain to people who have never felt it.
That's sooooo fucking true ,same struggle here
Don't worry man, your not alone. It doesn't matter what you do for a living, where you are, what you're beliefs are, this kind of stuff doesn't discriminate. Your free to message me on here and we can bounce shit off each other, I'm all about helping you out if it keeps the pain away.
I was not expecting you to be here I haven't watched ur vids in a while I'mma change that now😉🙂
if someone ever asks what depression feels like... this songs explains it very well how some of us feel... Hugs to all who struggle with depression and anxiety, you're not alone!
✌👌
Me and my gf doesn’t understand
no hugs please, my anxiety will kick in and that will make me even more depressed
Worst part is... Even when you want help... And you know others want to help... You still cannot accept it. It feels like you are a burden upon them, and the moment you try to explain they still don't get it, so you fake your happiness so that they will leave you alone. And you continue struggling. The sad thing about being depressed is that you are your own enemy
Exactly
Yes in my case I know my friends care really much. But depressions say the don't fcking care just don't join the call u are gonna annoy them. even if u know it isn't true
Well siad!!!!!
Yeah that whole burden upon them is how I felt and lost friends due to that
100% never could find the words to explain completely but you did it for me
It makes me sad how so many of us can relate to this. Stay strong 💪
(Edit)
To anyone reading I hope your struggles get better and always do your best, it may not be great now but if you’re at the bottom the only other way to go is up.
You should listen to infant annihilator they're very relatable
1w1
yup
@Tye Roush I'm glad I'm not alone to
Its scary how im taking the same meds, 2 tablets a day. And I fake smile too and oversleep. idk man life sucks..everything feels like nothing
This hits me hard.
The forced fake smile. The all knowing smile. Got me utterly.
And everyone just say god you're such a grump... you're never happy you never smile. NO SHIT... what's your problem... oh nothing just want to watch the world burn. Except you cant say that
Hey just checking up on you hows everything?

I don't know what hit me more: the lyrics, the imagery, the sound itself. I didn't think anything could illustrate how I felt. That black tar weighs on me every day. We can get through this. Whoever is reading this, you're not alone.
You are not alone. Stay strong tho.
@@oceanedmrtn6021 YEP
Anyone else have this song on constant repeat?
Yep. Daily.
Hell yeah
the other one is better 100%
yep
For sure.
Brian... the battles people face, I face, you face, the lyric hits home. I came out of a mental hospital just a week before seeing you live, only to find you weren’t there because you were fighting your own demons. Your music speaks to me. And I know I’m not the only one. This song, it made me tear up. Stay strong. ✊🏼
100% brother, such a powerful song, a ray of sunlight to such a dark week for myself
Same here.........there are so many times I have to put a mask on to somewhat feel normal in front of people.
A very awesome song that hits home for alot of people including me
That smile he put... I can’t tell you how much I related to that
@@lyssa52887 same here,
there are plenty of songs that talk about depression. few that show a very real depiction of what depression is. this song is amazing
As someone that has been dealing with severe depression for years I just want to say thank you for this song and video.
Deal with it myself dude your a beast awesome song 🤘❤️
deal with it as well, you got this.
This is the depression coping anthem of the 21st century!
Or, ya know, you can stop being a cry baby bitch and nut up. Ancient man had to deal with unforgiving weather, no constant food supply, predatory animals and disease. You could die from an infection that resulted from a small cut but fuckers like you are depressed. Depressed from what? Someone didn't like your insta post? Mommy and daddy didn't give you that puppy you wanted? Couldn't beat a video game? People like you are the biggest pussies I've ever heard of. Glad the survival of the human race didn't relie on folks like you.
@@savage-skull yeah man that will help everyone thats depressed. "Cry baby, bitch". People like you are the problem. Ive been depressed for years now and its not from a lack of trying for a better life. You have no idea what it feels like to have the thoughts of just saying "fuck it i give up" but here i am still pushing through it. Going to work everyday, trying to pay the bills i cant afford everyday, buying cheap food because i cant afford decent meals. Maybe i should get a better job? Cant do that i messed up my credit years ago when i was younger so i cant get a loan for school to get the better paying job. So here i am stuck in a loop i dont know how to get out of. And thats what im sick of, the same daily routine ive been in for years with no progress toward a better me. But dont worry man, ill just stop being "a cry baby, bitch". ☝
"I think I think too much" already relatable
Same here
Yep same it drives me insane
I’m a little bit paranoid!
Paranoid, over thinking? Yep I can relate
tiny moving parts has the same line in their song "happy birthday" and that was released in 2016,,

🔥🔥🎵
only men even in the video the guy has a supporting gf theres many guys totally alone!
The look on his face at 3:07 fricken breaks me. Facing the feeling of defeat, knowing and accepting you have lost and all thats left to do is smile.
That’s the face of the only option left is to become medicated
I have to laugh cause what else can you do life is cruel :-/
Corkas_ not him smiling
Yup, the meds. I’m in the exact same prescription but twice the dose. I don’t smile, but it numbs shit, if I had something to smile about I probably would though.
yessssss . this comment 👌🏼
"Try to hide my demons but they only multiply
" I felt that
Same.
I prevail know show yo hit home.

Omg I said the same thing. Full fangirling atm :)
Sandra Jew I’m glad I’m not alone in this fangirl moment
paige leek ha ha ha same here :) I full just squealed in the phone to my partner lol he thought something was wrong lol
This is exactly how i felt ,everyday was the same,negative thoughts, same thoughts, no willpower to do anything. I isolated from everyone and almost end it last year, literally on my forced walk, a dog saved me, when he bumped me in my hand with his wet nose. At that moment i felt alive,i smiled from my heart , moments before that i was thinking which tree would be the best,so no one finds me and i don't put anyone through trauma of finding me. Im grateful i stayed , it does get better,but is a lifelong commitment.
I'm glad they dropped this one second, it's good to see they're still going to be heavy but also there will be variety just like last album
Oh yeah yeah
This is still pretty heavy. Obviously not as heavy as bow down.
I just hope they won't all be radio ready garbage. So far I'm digging both of the new singles.
Please don't make the same mistake bmth did, heavy is the new pop stick with it...👌😎🔥
Oh yeah nahui
Brian you dont struggle alone brother. Stay strong
Depression is a struggle and this song not only brought awareness but showed a perfect example of what it can be like. Its a hard thing to live with. 😞
I haven't felt happiness in so long that I think if it hit me in the face I wouldn't know... Stay strong, guys! We got this ❤
Hope you are doing better now budy.
I feel the same way. I can’t remember the last time I had a period of happiness. Depression sucks because even though you know you need help and want others in o help you feel this need to punish yourself and just waste away on the couch or in a bottle or with a pill. I don’t know how I’ve survived this long. I guess I’m hard to kill. Anyone struggling with depression hang in there. If you’re still surviving then you haven’t lost yet.
You’ve got this,,, is a phrase I can’t stand. No! We don’t got this! This world and its survivors are drowning.
I lost a very close friend of mine, this past September. It’s been hard keep myself positive, Somedays. Now, my wife is pregnant and I feel happy, almost unbelievably so. Now, it’s a fight to keep focused on the ray of hope, while expecting the other shoe to drop.
I'm still here. So are you. There's a reason for that. Just need to find what that reason is. Bipolar depression sucks. Not knowing how I'm going to feel from day to day...I can pretty much assume I'll be down.
Thankyou for being a real person, and making real music. Maybe people will realize depression isn't something you can just get over... Thankyou for trying to help people understand...
Real music. Real feelings. Real people. Support.
Songs based on emotions are always the best!!
I unliked this just so I could like it again
Man I'm only 21 and this shit hits home, I haven't felt joy in over a year and the only thing keeping me going is making sure my parents don't have to attend my funeral. You're not alone people, someone cares for you
I care for you too man
@@alexanderborg0611 me too I care
Stay strong. Live for yourself before you live for anyone else.
I know exactly what you feel like and I also know the other side. My best friend ended her pain 7 years ago but now its passed to her friends and family. Stay strong.
I had to go to my brothers funeral at age 16 (20 now)
I never felt like myself on medication. It was like a fake me in the driver's seat while I sit passenger side and watch everything. I understand the struggle, and I cherish this song and music video. Thank you.
Such a good band.
I feel like this song was written with true emotions while Brian was dealing with his vocal injury. I am so happy that he is back!!!!!
Songs with real emotions are always amazing!!
Dear god, you could not have dropped this song at a more perfect time...
Can we all just take a second and appreciate the fact that good music is still alive !

@Rafael B. iPrevail is a metal band
@Rafael B. fuck yea, maggot4life

I Agree with that, not only are they good music, but they show real life issues.
Its 3a.m. I haven't slept in two days suffering from PTSD, Depression, anxiety, skits of rani a ...an this song I just found hit me to my core.
I'm here for you
Dont give up man.
I’m right here with you
Just found your comment. I hope everything is ok with your life now. Idk if you read tos message but I suffer the same but I’m no letting that shit get over me. I’m still struggling but I now this shit is going to be over soon
Current meds fuck people up more than they help
You laid it out on the table. Left no room for interpretation. Because it's too real to skirt around the issue. I can't imagine this song was easy to come out with just for the fact that when you're depressed, the easiest thing to do is shut everyone and everything out. You should feel really proud for doing this Brian. Thank you for reaching out to everyone who struggles until they are numb... Thank you. Because it's not easy being your own worst enemy
The moment when he's in the shower and bends at the waist and just SCREAMS. I've been there. Some days I'm still there. When I was a kid I used to think everyone felt this way at some point. After I had kids, I thought NO ONE possibly felt the way I did. Now, as a 34 year old mother of two, I am just beginning to see that it's not something that goes away or gets better or is even cured with meds. It's something you fight every day. You fight it by talking about it, by taking the meds, by leaning on your family, and some days, by bending at the waist and SCREAMING. The black tar is bad, but it's so much worse when it's on the inside. You have to get it out.
This I'm 30 yrs old been dealing with this the majority of my life
You are not alone.
It can get better, though. Not saying you won't always have those days when you need to scream. But the intervention of a good therapist coupled with the right medication can make a big difference. You CAN have an improved quality of life. Don't give up.
hey lydia ive dealt with depression for as long as i can remember and i grew up as an only child with no dad and an absent mother so i was alone for many years and developed anxiety and suicidal thoughts... i am now 39 and have 7 kids.... i always try to get better but i dont believe in meds to fix the issues or a shrink.... that stuff is just a bandaid in reality its something that will forever live inside you because its your DNA not a god dam disease like people are saying it is... i can not stand people and doctors who say that!!! you dont just wake one day and contract depression..... it was def passed on to me by my mother who has suffered her whole life with it and took every med there was and went to the shrinks but still she tried to commit suicide!!! my relief to my given depression is MUSIC!!! this song speaks to me like no other.... hit me right in the feels i wish more bands would be this bold to put a face to the madness we feel inside when we here about all the death and destruction in this crazy world.... i seek gods answers everyday
I've been dealing with severe depression and many attempts of suicide and its hard to explain the feeling but this is a perfect way to tell the feeling
Man, you weren't kidding when you said on Twitter that this album opened up a lot of old wounds and y'all went deep into your hearts with it. Both songs so far are straight 🔥🔥🔥 guys. Keep em coming.
Also, Brian, stay strong man, I deal with it everyday as well l. It's a major battle, sometimes you feel as though you're on the losing end, but never forget you have your band mates there for you who love and care for you just like we do, your fans. 🤘 rock on brother 🤘
Listening to this after finally fully getting out of this state, almost makes me feel proud
Stay safe everyone ❤
Who else cried cause it resonates deep?
🙋🏻♂️
Bro this song tears me up everytime i hear it
Yeah i hear ya
Its almost hard to watch because it hits home. Still an amazing song.
I didn't cry, but it was more of a relief screaming happy relatable sing-a-long, if that makes sense.
Anyone else replay this song multiple times?
I'm on number 4
Watch this video a few times now!!
No but Bow down is a banger! The band really shines more when Eric is highlighted and Brian takes just the chorus like a Wage War type. just my opinion
FazeKTMRyker 64 times so far lol
on 20+ times lost count...
Holy hell, this is an awesome way of explaining what it is like.

Depression is being around people but feeling all alone.
Depression is being told you're loved, yet feeling unwanted, unwelcome.
Depression is like being trapped in your own cage with no idea how to escape.
Depression is trying harder only to seemingly fail harder.
Depression is waking up ready to change, but going to bed even deeper in a hole.
Depression is knowing it's all in your head, yet unable to get it out of your head.
Depression is unwantingly abusing substances, just to feel a little better.
Depression is losing faith in yourself, no matter how many people cheer you on.
Depression is pushing away those people who actually do want to help.
Depression is wanting to get help, but fearing nobody would truly understand.
Depression is trying really hard not to cry, even though you really want to.
Depression is avoiding the world, knowing its negativity will only make matters worse.
Depression is deep down wanting to not just be told you're loved, but to actually feel it.
Depression is real. Millions of us try to hide it, but it grinds our gears all day long.
True
sometimes i doubt im a person. not sure why else i would have this level of disconnect with what im around all the time. i may as well be speaking a different language it seems. people have told me its scary how quiet i am, but i just dont see the point in talking. i either offend people or get looked at like a complete idiot, no upside to the effort of acting like it matters.
You fkn nailed it. Welcome to my life. Hardest part is not giving into the temptation of just ending it all. I mean who's gonna miss someone like me anyways?
Depression is only wanting to sleep. Because when you sleep you don’t feel the intense feeling of emptiness and sorrow that not even your favourite people and things can break. It’s exhausting and unbearable.
And you speak like you deal with it yourself. The biggest thing is we forget we are not alone in this battle
I swear this album, this song in particular saved my freaking life. Got me through a very dark period. Thank you I Prevail!
👈✋✋✋
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎸🔥 🎸 🔥 🎸 🔥 🎸 🔥
"Let me be sad* its another god damn song that saved many lives
Linkin Park was the only band for Years who had songs I could relate to, until now.....Thank you.
Ace Wilcox That’s what I thought too. No one will ever reach me like Chesters voice did but I Prevail is close.
Linkin Park is legend
No there are a lot more bands like breaking benjamin,Red
They remind me of them
listen to Another life, and Headach by miw
I’m bipolar. I listen to this over and over when I’m in a depressive state. It helps me so much. It reminds me I’m not alone
We all feel alone... You're not. Im here if you need someone..
Amber Silvia , thank you,Amber. I went to the mental health dr today. He started me on Zoloft. He wants to start me slowly on meds. I hope they help. Thank you for being here for me.
Brady Ray You are never alone! Some of us have a harder time trying to fight our way through but that doesn’t mean you ever give up that fight! You have come so far. Never give up, never give in. Fight for you! I believe in you and I believe you are amazing no matter what. Even on your worst day, I believe in you. I may not know you but I know that same battle that I continue to fight that is in you. You are worthy. You are amazing. You are f*cking awesome!!!! To continue to fight is evidence that you have so much more strength than you believe. The struggle is real but so worth it❤️❤️❤️
Same. You're definitely not alone ❤
@@bradyray4063 I tried zoloft and it didn't help. Hopefully it helps you. Watching my son grow helped a little. Especially considering I was a single parent raising him and couldn't depend on his mother. But hopefully you find your anchor to keep you steady.
The end of this video is the perfect visualization of the cycle of depression. Genuinely feels happy again for a small period of time, then the doubt slowly seeps back as you try to keep a brave face on, then one thing drags you back into that hole.
I came across this video by accident while I was looking for a different song . This world is filled with so many people whom are suffering from depression, just like I am. I am relieved to see that this music video helps so many of you. I am to the point where the therapy hasn't worked, meds haven't helped, my family doesn't help, what few friends I do have they haven't helped & it's not getting any better for me. I don't know where to go from here, I mean other than into that long dark tunnel. I wish this video could have been done using a happier ending, though I believe that I Prevail made the right decision by choosing not to sugar coat this "disease", and then opting to close the video & story with the ugly truth. Once again I Prevail, you've given the world something else to think about. FanFreakinTastic Job!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I know exactly what your going through. I have struggled with depression since I was 13. But I can tell you that it gets better. You’ll have highs and lows. Some that you feel like you can’t get through, but you can and you will. You’ll continue to find new things to live for and fight for. You’ll climb higher out of that valley every time. Just hang in there strong through the dark times. I’m in a much better place now at 37 and you will be in a better place too. It doesn’t work for everyone but for me training for endurance races and going back to school helped a lot. You got this! Keep fighting and be proud knowing this struggle makes you stronger than anybody who doesn’t have to deal with this!
I absolutely agree with you. But then I was explained two things by both my psychiatrist and my psychologist. The first one is that every episode (for some reason) will last longer than the previous one. And the second one is that the medication is not meant to cure you but basically what it does is to numb you, or kill the noise If you will (and help you sleep) so that you can work on the root of the problem. They also told me that exercise is super important (which I hate but it did help me during the first episode) I hope it helps. Because this type of invisible illness is the worst kind. So let's hope ,like ,people say that it should get better.
The world doesn't care about the man struggling. The world cares about the man whos dead.
Until they forget he existed
Humanity has in vain and naivette, attempted to seperate itself from its primal nature over the ages.
Those who fear in jealousy of a person's potential, especiallialy when assuming the other could displace them for a social position or pull their eyes from potential mates by overshadowing their potentials, will attempt to either stifle the growth of another by any means to make them devalue themselves or to get them to relocate from the jealous person's self-declared social turf (which could be to harm them if not seek to kill them in the extreme of responses).
Those who lack empathy, and think only in logic, are sadly capable of their thoughts leading to the rationalization pf violence, and yet even the most empathetic among us could also find a lapse in empathy if the primal reactivity overtakes the concious thought and jealousy flares.
In the complex case of onlookers to such a situation, there are the oblivious who either are unable to be situationally aware of their surroundings or their subconcious blinds them from noticing as a defense as getting involved may make them a target or the primal in them also fears for the potential of the one currently being victimized, but in the most unhelpful of cases they are just too emotionally occupied themselves with internally taxing thought that they are unable to process data from their senses that would permit them to notice, or they have physical imparement of their senses (which can include inner brain structure or memory issues).
Then you have those who notice something, may find thselves lead off the track of discovering truth they want to act on. It depends if they are twarted with being lead to be disinterested in seeking via cover story and if in the event of a failed attempt if they are willing to find a need to act on discovery. Unrelated people will help if they have a moral core to see value in being altruistic, in risking potentially their life to free someone from opression under the assumption that doing so will either permit the value of the victim to be gained by society or that the victim will verbally raise the value of the one who saved them in the eye of society (which could in specific terms mean potential mates -which would be seen as primal or carnal reasoning). As such, the savior can very much be self focused in reasoning behind their actions, and if verbalized could very well insult a saved victim which could in turn just mark them for another to target the victim so the "hero" can continue having people to save as each instance brings more social wealth to them. Finding a hero with true concern for others is not impossible though, as it is only the person who has thought beyond saving for the sake of feeling the chemical reactions in the brain from doing a perceived good for another who is able to taint their good deeds with a twist of shifted focus on selfish gain from doing so. The act can go from bright spirited to dim though.
It goes dark when compensation beyond social gain is requested or a bounty was the driving force, yet society tells us to treat financial wealth equivalent to social value of their efforts in an economy. This can get a society well hung up, as the disparity of wealth, when these values to the curreny of finacial wealth are not conveyed, is seen as a social insult to those who realize a disparity but were being lured and baited en mass out of their wealth and thus social value whilst it being propogated and insinuated otherwise that the masses of society had the opposite intents and desire. This betrayal leads to a society failing, and economy going with it due to being treated and concieved as an extention of the expression of the value of a person. It was an overstep and blunder to take something that was representative of valuation and also tack upon it the representation of debt, for humanity is not able to as a whole agree on value of deeds let alone goods as these values are personal and thus always in fluctuation based on the number who do or don't see value in one aspect or other of anything that could be scrutinized for valuation.
We are a messy species.
I'm not gonna pretend like I read all that But I read the 1st light 2 paragraphs and yeah pretty close I guess Plus I applaud you for doing all that work
So true
As one who's playing final fantasy 7 and knows these things all come to pass, this comment feels even deeper.
Good to see someone is trying to break the stigma about medication it’s nothing to be ashamed of
sounds to me like the pills just suppress it. yes he is smiling and seems more friendly in the end but the lyrics repeat I dont really like myself. underneath he still struggles. just my opinion. happens to people I know too.
@@streetzyskater you're absolutely right. Those Kind of pills only hide the Problems you have with dealing with depression.
Thats why the End somehow shows for me another falling into the "hole" Depression is.
@@Cortrakx3 Pills and therapy are working just great for me. Of course it's completely subjective and your experience compared to my experience or the hundreds of millions of other people who suffer with this shit are not going to be the same at all.
My new favourite song!
Thank you for being the voice for those who don't have one
Your music makes a difference xxx
That’s an awesome way to put it :)
I've been battling clinical depression for over 10 years now and though it has improved it will rear its head every now and then. For those currently struggling I have two pieces of advice. Look into and study stoic philosophy, and practice gratitude. It can be hard to feel grateful when you want to end your life but finding gratitude is the small things adds up overtime. Stoicism can also help shift your thoughts to embrace difficulties and overcome them. stay strong.
The only thing that's positive about wearing a mask all the time is not having to fake a smile. Glass is always half empty it seems
Wanting to feel better but just cant get there.
It's not in your head .its real
Facts.
You wear a mask for so long though, you forget who you were beneath it
This gave me chills all over my body, I think we can all really relate to this song even if your not depressed
Keith ape wym if you’re not depressed? how can you relate then lmao
Chorus: "I don't really like myself"
Me: damn okay i felt that 😥
Same here. When I first watched this video and listening to the lyrics, really hit home for me.
Victoria Leon you and me both dude still does
@@OhhGerrard Yep I am thinking of taking antidepressants but I dont think you can under the age of 18
@@sxiller9941 yes you can, I been on them since I was 12
That line right there hit me
This song is freaking, the emodiment of how I feel. Literally, this song is where I come to when I'm having a depressive episode. Sometimes people just don't understand the people who seem like they're okay, really aren't okay.
The people with the biggest smiles sometimes mask the biggest pain, if you need to talk im open, if you want more music to help with the lyrics I can
@@jackal_stumpy9230 People like you who offer help to even strangers give me hope that maybe one day the world won't be a shithole :)
I can relate. This depression sucks!
Same Hun You'll Get Through This X
i agree so much i been an addict for 14 years and hid my fake smile for so long and been so deepressed nobody cared or even noticed tell i had to get help before ahh yeah
Today I found this music. I listen again and again. I have been suffering from depression for 10 years. This music gives me a lot of strength! Very good lirycs!
This music helps me let some emotion out
I literally hear it for the first time today and it beyond hit home
Man, the part that hit me hard was when she tried to show him something she was really excited about, and he just couldn't bring himself to care. I've done that many times and I feel so guilty for it when it happens. Its just so hard to care about anything when you're that low.
Dang, that’s actually the same for me.
Jacob Emerson I can completely relate
never realized how many times I did this to my wife or my kids..
lol if you shoot down or dont care about something your partner tries to show you,
it‘s the most probable indicator that you and your partner break up
There‘s research on it, should google it
This!!!! 2 years late but you hit exactly what i relate too. My inner self crawls to care about what's going on even though i really want to care i can't find the strength to do it.
It’s so damn hard to live with depression but damn it’s even harder to try to convince others that you’re okay .
I have to see my family at Thanksgiving and I wonder if I should pretend or not.
Estrella Flores felt that
Hard to believe I’ve struggled with this shit for 10 YEARS (I turn 20 in October). Also having autism and PTSD from school doesn’t help either.
That hit real hard.
Thats the hardest part. Its because you care about others more than yourself
I'm struggling with Depression and Anxiety at 35 and this hits home, no matter how much support you have you feel alone. I feel like nobody understands me.
Very true man. But keep it up.
We understand you ;) stay strong don't give up.
The awkward moment when a random music video you watched turns out to hit home way too hard =/
Yes I break down alot or I over think alot of things all the time
I get that look she makes 1:01 to 1:04 from a friend alot
Bruh...same
The reason that happens is you subconsciously seek out music to match your mood, whether or not you know it.
stay strong
I'll be 48 years old this month. In my late 20's I wanted to blow my head off. THIS VIDEO HAS THAT FEELING! "I think I think too much!" It's a great song! Thank you I Prevail! I'm happy that I made it this far. Not everyone does. Not everyone has a choice. Choose life and and get help where you can get it.
Daniel, I don’t know you but I’m glad your still here buddy. Love you, and I mean that.
Boy do I know that feeling. No medical reason why I'm still alive. Should have died when I was 18
Hey guys, I see so many of you dealing with depression. I just want to let you know it's going to be ok, just keep pushing! I was at a low point in my life years ago to where I couldn't function from depression, I quit my job ,lost everything, and slit my wrist to the bone, It was so bad that I had to do physical therapy for a year and a half to be able to move my hand again. I still have no feeling till this day in my left hand. This depression went on for years but I kept going through the motions. And one day it all changed, I have never been this happy. I know it seems hopeless all the time but I promise you the hard times will make you stronger, just dont give up. You got this!
Thank you
I love this, thank you so much
I meant the words of encouragement
Brandon smith don’t know you but love you brother. Glad your still here.
Brandon smith thanks man!! :)
The self hatred is one thing I thought no one else had. That final "I don't really like myself" hits so hard. And that escitalopram. Spent the better part of a decade on that
Live my friends
I'm 49 and last week my 49 year old friend from childhood asked me to check this band out. I waited until today. Anyway, he died by suicide on Monday. I'm not blaming anyone or anything but I'm guessing he might have liked this song. Wow. Thanks for being my friend all these years bro. Love you man
Dam, man deep sorry for your loss
Respect brother
I can see how him casually mentioning how he likes this band mightve been a way to call for help without actually asking for it, i mean, what kinda mental state do u gotta be in to like this music. Just a speculation though. Im sorry for your loss, i hope u have great memories of him to look back on
Sorry for your loss
My condolences bro
I love this video. It really goes in depth in how depression is.
I think you should check out Low by Wage War, I think that one's really good too.
It doesn’t really show its depth. I know because that’s where I’m at and the pills don’t work and not everybody you know cares about what condition you’re in.
@@buzzkill7575 I'm on lexapro 20mg and half of the time the thoughts still control me. I can barely function.
@@mdodson141 Maybe it isn't the right medicine for you. It took me years to find the right meds for me, and they still have to be adjusted
2 in 1 day?! 😮 damn!!
Right lol I’m loving it keep me coming please 👍
Would love to hear your opinions/reactions on them :)
Lately all the great bands are dropping music man. While She Sleeps, Of Mice and Men, Attila, I Prevail. Its amazing
reaction vid?
Gonna have to drop 2 reaction vids wyatt lol
I’ve felt how he describes. Depression can hit you all at once and it sucks. Wishing you all better days ahead.
This song is hitting me in the feels man.
The video makes it really amazing!!
I haven't had a song hit me this hard since I first heard "Crawling" by Linkin Park! Thank you for what you're doing!
Hence his last few words "i don't really like myself" if he's anything similar to myself. I can't stand myself on antidepressants. It changes me and my cognitive abilities are out the window. It all still bugs you. You're just numb to it.
I felt the same feeling when I was listening to Leave out all the rest for the first time. I was going through suicidal bouts at the time so it was like I was hearing my own thoughts laid in front of me.
What about 'Run Away'.
Fucking song hits hard especially if u know depression....live that life every fucking single day
Oh my god RIGHT. I still love crawling as much as I did the first time
This time last year, I was suicidal. I Prevail's music was the anchor I latched onto while I screamed my pain from the depths, thinking my words fell on deaf ears. You guys were coming to Northern Invasion in May. One of my best and oldest friends from my childhood I haven't seen since I was like 17 was going to come up to see the show...I was barely holding on.
Then at the show, my cousin hears a heart monitor beep, grabs me and pulls me closer to the stage " oh my God, it's your song, let's go!"
That connection when you played "Pull the Plug" was the first time I started to feel better in a long time. This new video perfectly captures what a bad day is like in my head. Right down to the days I just want to lock myself in a scalding shower and scream, tragically self-aware of how toxic some of my thoughts are. Aware, but unable to put them down either.
Thanks for this one, guys. It feels good to be vulnerable; and I don't think I could've done it without your help.
I was totally there during Northern Invasion. Shit was fire and these guys were amazing. Definitely was amazing. Plus, WCAR was there too... That was the last time I ever saw Kyle perform too... Damn.
I was at Northern Invasion as well and this was my first time seeing them live. For sure an amazing concert to remember and such an amazing band and song, it’s great to see artists doing this to raise awareness for depression because of how common it is in society today. I hope things are getting better for ya dude!
Thank you for sharing your story, keep at it brother, it'll be okay..
thisissooolegit Fuck WCAR gonna miss Kyle their last album was so amazing shit sucks.
Omg love northern invasion what's up Wisconsin also check out beartooth
I randomly message people asking if they’re ok. No rhyme or reason. Most, if not all are going through something we can’t see. I went through the hardest time of my life without a peep from anyone. Instead of letting that make me a monster. I choose to give the gift I never received. Much love guys!
So good. A message a lot of people need to hear. And not just people struggling with depression like myself, but also the people who love them.
I feel immensely comforted, hearing lyrics from someone struggling day to day with similar issues to my own.
I've noticed a number of snarky comments on songs like this that approach the uncomfortable topic of mental illness, things like "the new generation is going to be full of emo kids," or, "what happened to all of the happy music?"
I think that there have always been a lot of depressed people but that it's just now becoming less taboo to sing about it. I love the exposure that mental illness is getting from this, I feel it's very important and that people need to know the sneaky signs that are red flags that someone is spiraling downward.
I almost resorted to doing something entirely regrettable a month ago, then when I started feeling a lot better my former fiance dumped me (he understandably couldn't hack being around that kind of energy).
That was my first time being broken up with (always been the dumper, never the dumpee), & he did it over text lol. I was devastated by it. That combined with being back to living with my parents again & a number of other contributing factors I started feeling suicidal again.
I'm doing much better now which is awesome, but just found out last night that my best friend heavily self mutilated and almost succeeded with committing suicide herself.
This is an important topic that needs to become publicly known and I'm so happy that more popular bands like I Prevail are getting important things out there, "depression/suicide 101" things like self-isolation being a big indicator that shit might hit the fan, when often it is misinterpreted as merely being standoffish.
An important message presented in a beautiful way that leaves my ears hungry for more...my hat is off to these guys 👏
And girls say that men aren’t oppressed we definitely are maybe a bit more than women
@@littlebeanboozke52yearsago2 weird flex.
@@littlebeanboozke52yearsago2 YES
I am so in agreement with this statement. Our culture preaches the false truth that crying makes men weak, less strong, emasculated, "sissies."
Bullshit.
The ability to face painful emotions, to lean into complete grief & to allow the mind to begin processing heavy shit that needs to be processed instead of stuffing things down & instinctively fleeing...that takes an IMMENSE amount of strength & courage.
I'm the youngest of four brothers and it's taboo to show any emotion. I push it down. In my early thirties and I work around guys who are all older than me and they come from a generation of "Shut up and do your job". Can't show any emotion, so I push it down. I don't want to show my depression to my girlfriend, I don't want her to have a "whiny" boyfriend. I push it down.
Anyone else get chills when he say “I think I’m breaking down”!!
Crying will I listen to it. Exactly how I feel. ❤
Still suffering from depression at 26, my girl doesn’t get it and neither do my friends. Stay alive lads and lasses, the good outweighs the bad
I felt this bro, I’m here for ya we all are
Had a row with my pops today and im 32, cuz he just doesn't get it. Also doesn't get that some words really hurt.
I'm 26 as well and dealing with depression, social anxiety lost many friends, never had a date that lasted longer than a month and a job that didn't last a year without lashing out for no reason
I'm currently looking for a job that allows me to be alone hell even a nightshift guard doing rounds at a graveyard would be fine for me..
At least you have a girl. I'm 28 virgin suffering from major depressive disorder and dealing with anxiety considering suicide. Time flies and nothing happen
Take anti depression medicine helped me been taking them for 15 years I'm 35 now and happy I did
There is something magical about finding a song that resonates so deeply.... That perfectly reflects how you feel. You guys are amazing, never stop. Fantastic performance in Dallas!! 🙌
can definitely relate to this video on so many levels. The song threw me at first but by the end I can tell this will be a repeat jam for sure, props for making fresh & interesting stuff! Always love your guys' marketing, the first two singles drop on the same day that's sick haha
How is the new down and dirty album coming?
Caden Fontenot I forgot this dude looks like Denis

Thankyou from the bottom of my Heart. I have 2 adult boys ( musicians as well ) so I can't quit ....Thankyou Brian and Bandmates......
Just discovered this band. I'm a fan now
PTSD, and no-ones listenin. Thank u Brian, your bands music helped get this vet off the ledge...more than once. Truly grateful for the motivational music that keeps coming from the band.
Copy that brother..every morning I struggle to face the world..good days and bad...it was easier almost to only worry about keeping yourself and your crew alive...see you on the high ground
Its true theres ups and downs of the good and bad days bro, but thank you for your service too. Really excited for I Prevails future, I use music therapy for the bad days, so please keep the amazing music coming!
Thank you both so much for your service. I really do hope things get better for you both and every other vet. Please know that so many people appreciate you and your sacrifice. I understand how much everything hurts and you feel like the only emotions you feel are painful. Every other time you just feel empty. I don't have ptsd, or every served, but I do struggle with clinical depression and anxiety, so I know that much. Thank you for being alive. Thank you for being so strong. I don't really know you're life, but I hope that you'll feel at least a little better reading this. Continue to be strong.
You are worth it, thank you for all that you do. You matter and dont ever forget that.
I had PTSD when my son almost died at two years old and nobody got it. Even though he survived I had a nervous breakdown. through years
As someone whom suffers greatly from both Depression and Anxiety, man, this song had me slightly tear'd up at the end. Amazing song!
This song hits hard. Always has. Depression is fucking HARD to live with.
This song helps me through my depression, anxiety and PTSD

@@joaquinbaca7963 i know that feeling and its not a good feeling
Hes beautiful. Honestly. Knowing he struggles with the same shit but then seeing him smile makes me happy. Love this song.
Erica Dougherty no, there’s a difference. that’s an empty smile, it’s purely on the surface. he’s still burning up on the inside.
i could relate to literally every single aspect of this video, and i laugh a lot. but it’s all empty.
Smiling while on medication aint no smile at all......
We fake smile everyday for those around us and then isolate ourselves in our demons alone. It's a never-ending cycle.
Before the pill is just the depression but then after the pill is all fake it's what the pill does to you makes everyone around you think your fine and happy but you see the real person when he walks in at the end and the pill has worn off. All it is is a cycle.
This hits so hard. Especially the line "I don't really like myself" and I promise I'm not crying I promise I'm not
