Lyrics
Oh I swear my emotions are the enemy
Be dead by now if I’d have done what they were telling me
Whisper lies, but they sound like half-truths
Confusing a sick mind isn’t that hard to do
And you say I’m a hopeless case, I’m a hopeless case
I’m afraid I can’t trust myself, myself
Don’t leave me alone
How you want me to fix myself, myself,
All I’ve ever known, I've ever known
How can I separate
Me from the remedy?
I can’t be sure, be sure
Am I the curse or the cure?
Oh it’s more than a little maddening
got me second guessing everything that’s happening
I think, I think I’m in over my head
the more I think about it, the worse that it gets
All I see are all my flaws
I see is all I’m not
I’m not senseless
I won’t separate this heart
to make it what you want
you can’t tell me anymore
Curse or cure

We're so stoked to see how you are loving the video! Thanks to everyone for your support and for pre-ordering the new album. WE LOVE YOU ICON ARMY! xoxo Ariel & Shawn
We love it!
Thank you so much for sharing it early with the kickstarters! Y’all rock!
you really do spoil us emos!!! you continue you help me with my mental health and self harm. I love you 💕💕💕
Pls come back, your songs are so f good szszsz we miss u, xoxo from Brazil sz
Awsome like always!! i just love it!
When Icon just knows what aesthetic you've been obsessed with. Like hard rock meets dramatic fey fantasy. Love the video
I was thinking the same thing!
Point of order taken full into context, thank you for that, and for yielding your time...
(IK it sounds Congressional. I'm jus sayin thank you, 'cause you got it on one)
we got you Rae:) 💕
@@99blackbirds You won't be disappointed. Welcome to the Icon Army. ♡
Nailed it
When she said “I’m afraid I can’t trust myself” I felt that
Me too. Like, I have to question almost every thought and feeling because I don't wanna be delusional again. And I have to question what I see and hear and ask others if they see or hear it too. It's exhausting af.
Truth
It's ridiculously good. They really bring it with this one!
Icon is back
glad you're feeling it! xoxo
@@99blackbirds wtf are those hashtags?
They really do! \m/
this perfectly describes anyone who's battling mental illnesses for most of their life. After so many years of this treatment and that treatment, mis diagnosises, people telling you how to act and how to be , mixed messages, it becomes so hard to figure out who you are and what you are. Where does the you begin and where does the decease end? I think I will let my therapist hear this.
Yeah. Like, I've got 6 mental illnesses. Just about everything I think or feel is a symptom of one or more of them. I don't know where the illnesses end and I begin. I describe myself as self aware symptoms piloting a meat suit.
I told my therapist about this band. I feel her words from all her music is perfect for anyone who has felt this way so I was like, tell your other clients about them. Ariel put into words things we've been feeling and the emotion behind it is so real, idk what we'd do without them. And idk what's gonna happen when they're gone. Who else will be able to pick up the battle as well?
@@indoorsandout3022 I hear meat suit and think possessed lol but that's kind of perfect 'cause we're kind of possessed by ourselves aren't we? The disease takes on it's own persona. I think that's why this and Supposed To Be are some of my favorites.
this band is criminally underrated for the talent and effort they put in.
Ah! This will be the best b-day present ever!!
Happy birthday 🎁
Happy birthday! Hope your day is great!
Happy early birthday!!!
Happy early birthday!
happy birthday!!!!!
Wow, this music video is my all time favorite. Icon for hire has been my go to band for the past 10 years. Its gotten me through so many trials in life. I love them so much! My dream is to meet them one day. Ariel is my inspiration.
Would love to meet you one day darling!!
Ow i agreee🙌🏻
Somehow my reply is doubled, not my intentipwnn, oowps😅
The Stay-At-Homeschool Mom I got to meet them one year at warp...we stayed in the same hotel as them and was at restaurant at the same time making waffles. Best time I’ll ever remember. They killed at that show as well.
this still lives in my head rent free
Ariel's new hair is beautiful 😍 what a song, what a video! IFH really out here saving 2020 huh?
doing our best out here😂
Everybody is talking about Ariel's hair, but what about Shawn's? I love his haircut!!!😊
This music video is so REL. It feels like perfect merge of Turn Your Pain Into Art and Scripted Icon For Hire. So good.
So... You see political videos coming from this too? My Bad, I'll stop assuming.
But, Yeah! Same!
@@f_USAF-Lt.G politics? Where?
@@f_USAF-Lt.G w h e r e ?
I like how they're going back to their roots but it still keeps consistent with their more recent music, it's a great combo. Love this band so much
AWESOME !! But, (maybe I shouldn't ask, but) what songs of theirs would you put Right Before and Right After in a Playlist?
😏😈
@@f_USAF-Lt.G that's a tough question :'D Probably two that have similar themes. Maybe Iodine before and Venom after?
OH I SWEAR MY EMOTIONS ARE THE ENEMY
I’D BE DEAD BY NOW IF I HAD DONE WHWT THEY WERE TELLING MEEE
WHISPER LIES BUT THEY SOUND LIKE HALF TRUTHS
CONFUSING A SICK MIND ISN'T THAT HARD TO DO
AND YOU SAY I'M A HOPELESS CASE, I'M A HOPELESS CASE
Why does nobody talk about how gorgeous her hair looks? I’m in love 😍
(We're used to her hair being Best-est)
Check out their history of videos, and see if there's a pattern... Her innovation is also from her creative stylin' ❗🔥❗
Sorry was to busy raving about how great this song is. But I fully agree. Also love the little girl playing little REL.
This band always has the best styles
I agree
For all of those on the live chat who were concerned about my back pain, I can confirm it has been cured after listening to this.
ah yes, emo powers work
Nothing like ICON to put you 🎶👣👣🎶back in step!! 😅💢👍
Why no one is talking about the bass lines? It's simply PERFECT
Took me way too long to realize that this is probably the "little lost girl" she sings about in You Cant Kill Us
After all these years I love how little they have changed
The best thing to happen in 2020, I love the direction of this album!!
Glad youre feeling it thanks!💕
Seriously, this new style is like the perfect blend of everything I loved from each of the previous albums. And the music video gave me WAY more feels than I expected.
Well, honestly it's 2020 so they don't have much competition XD I love it though that they didn't let 2020 stop them and released the album anyway. That shows some guts and that they genualy care.
Same. Loving the style and rhythm of the tracks from this new album. I love there poppier stuff too but this is just my shit right here lol XD
I am so glad to know someone else knows what it feels like to not be safe in your own head...
I'm totally blown away by the transformation that you have gone through! You guys left me speechless! Keep rocking!!
Powerfull and authentic duo
I love their aesthetic
She's so beautiful inside out 💖
It premiered earlier for patreon members and kickstarter backers which was pretty cool. This was a good music video, very different from things they have done. I like this new tone.
heart Yeah, it’s awesome. 💜
I'll get a job just to have money to back this band and get their content
It does remind me more of their first album than the last two tho
this is the old tone
@@xKFCxKAOSx Very true. I meant new in comparison to what the style has been in recent years.
When she says "confusing a sick mind isn't that hard to do"... it hits hard. Especially since it's me anf myself confusing my own sick mind.
I was duped again! I thought it was posted and now my heart has been ripped from my chest, needing to wait 18 hours.
Did you see it yet?! Did you see?! Check This Out!!
@@f_USAF-Lt.G Yeah, I just finished watching it. It was awesome!
Strange & Beatiful
omg as a patron i was *so confused*
Right? Same!
Same
Why?
@@sonyafohlman4191 since for patrons we get videos ahead of time so seeing the premeir hear some may have gotten a bit confused or forgot it was going public today 🙂
sonya fohlman what wolf said but also i was like “am i going mad? i could swear i’ve seen this already 😳” and yeah safe to say i was a bit worried for my mental state for a second there 😂
HAPPY 1 MILLION!!!!!
The Magnificent Seed doesn't know if it's a curse or cure. Speaks volumes.
This band's songs are about strength and self fulfillment in the most awesome way
Holy crap, this is unreal!!!!!!!! This new sound has me OBSESSED. And Ariel and Shawn's aesthetic in this????? Ummm YES please!!!! Can't wait until we can all see you perform live again!
@Anna333 This feels different to the early stuff though imo! Big fan of all their records and they certainly have progressed since Scripted. Its been especially great to see their success since going independent from a label & having no restrictions on their music/creative ideas! This next album is gonna be such a treat, I can't wait
I can do cures 2 from within my heart 🥰🥰 Merry Christmas and a Cured new year. ❤&Light😊
My whole day has been like: "Is it 7pm already?". So hyped, can't wait to see it.
Going in for another full night listening to this beauty
Since no one’s done it yet
LET ME INNN
Fiend reference?
JLyons Rocker of course
Lmaooo
Alexia is almost through with her transformation cant wait
I am BEYOND excited
IM SO EXCITED
0:16 I love this hairstyle
Damn! I love their sound! Just found them tonight!❤️💜♥️🔥🔥
Rock + Fantasy = Perfection
This is gonna be so good, I can't wait!!!
I'm loving this lavender blue hair Ariel is sporting😍😍😍
This video has so many early 2000's emo era vibes to it and I'm honestly so for it
So excited!!
Wait Icon is rock again ? Wow you have no idea how long I have waited for you guys to return to rock.
I seriously have goosebumps!
I love Icon for Hire. I love their style and music in equal measures.
Their rock sound is back 😭 I’m so happy
im SO READY FOR THIS
Drowning in emotions falling through between the realities.
When you’re over here hitting the like button before you even watch the video ‘cause you know it’s icon for hire and there is no doubt in your mind that the video will be amazing.
😳😲... same.
This is absolute fire. It came in on the wings of Pegasas and left with the souls of an Empire.
WHAT?! A new music video on my birthday. I'm gonna pretend this is for me. : D
Happy birthday.
lol mood, the song itself came out on my birthday
🎉 GOOD!! STEAL MOMENTS FOR YOURSELF TO SHARE!! 🎊 😏 🎂🍰🍧 🎉🎉
Sooooooooooo epic!!!!!!!!!! I love Icon For Hire!!!!!!!!!!
I've been listening since I was 10 and it's strange to think in a few months I'll be 16. Their music is still amazing
The caption spoke volumes to me, y’all got voices of the warrior and music of champions
Super excited for this!
Ariel's voice combined with insightful lyrics and face-melting rock make this song magnificent!
Wow! The aesthetic of this video is making me speechless... Love the whole witchy/cult vibes and that staircase-like scene is cool af
I was thinking the same thing. Like, Icon for hire started working with In This Moment on their aesthetics!
Heavy witch vibes.... and I LOVE IT!!!
Ariel, you have always been a very down-to-earth artist. When I first came across Icon For Hire, I really wasn't sure what to think; But you grew on me. I started to understand your work better. You're a phenomenal artist, I can hear your heart in your songs. That's not something just any person can do. You ask the realest questions, and you aren't afraid to be honest with anyone listening to your songs, truly hearing what you're saying. Ever since Under the Knife, I've found a deeper respect for what you do, and I'd love nothing more than to keep showing my support and enjoying your music until the end of Icon For Hire. I can't wait for things to settle enough for tours become safe again, I want to go to your stage again, it's been too long.
Finally, they went back to what made me fall in love with them. Glad to see them back to this style. Still miss the pinkish vibe of the older stuff though.
Lyrics
Oh I swear my emotions are the enemy
Be dead by now if I'd have done what they were telling me
Whisper lies, but they sound like half-truths
Confusing a sick mind, isn't that hard to do?
And you say I'm a hopeless case
I'm a hopeless case
And you say I'm a hopeless case
I'm a hopeless case
I'm afraid I can't trust myself, myself
Don't leave me alone
How you want me to fix myself, myself?
All I've ever known, I've ever known
How can I separate
Me from the remedy?
I can't be sure, be sure
Am I the curse or the cure?
Oh it's more than a little maddening
Got me second guessing everything that's happening

And the more I think about it, the worse that it gets
And you say I'm a hopeless case

All I've ever known, I've ever known
How can I separate

I can't be sure, be sure

All I see are all my flaws
I see is all I'm not
I'm not senseless
I won't separate this heart
To make it what you want
You can't tell me anymore
(Curse or cure)
I'm afraid I can't trust myself, myself
Don't leave me alone
How you want me to fix myself, myself?
All I've ever known, I've ever known
How can I separate
Me from the remedy?
I can't be sure, be sure
Am I the curse or the cure?
Am I the curse or the cure?
Am I the curse or the cure?
The part where you were singing by the water and then in it all kicked back in when you threw your arms out was my favorite part.
This song encapsulates exactly where I am right now with my depression. Im not on the floor crying anymore, but I'm incredibly unsure and scared even though I am trying. This song shows everything I fear and hope to escape from. Thank you icon for hire once again for being here so I am not alone :)
Hab zwar die Lyrics ins Deutsche übersetzt gebraucht, um alles zu verstehen, aber es trifft dermaßen tief, wenn man sich selbst darin erkennt ... Und total passend, dass ich es mir zum ersten Mal an einem Tag anhöre, an dem es mir schlecht geht ... Manche Textstellen hatte ich sinnmäßig schon oft in Gedanken
I needed the lyrics translated into German to understand everything, but it hits so deep when you recognize yourself in them ... And totally fitting that I listen to it for the first time on a day when I feel bad goes ... Some passages in the text I had often in my mind (Google-Übersetzer)
How did I just find this band?? Better than never I suppose ❤
There we go. That's the icon for hire I know and love.
Ahhhh I can't wait
I love Icon for Hire ❤️❤️❤️
Saw this during the early premiere and OMG I had no idea now addicted I was to Icon for Hire! I love this! Need more of the cure!!
And, now you have example - Every gift is both a curse and a cure... But, who's?
Iconic just like the bands name much love ❤ rock on 🤘
I’m glad that you’re brought back this sound, I’m not gonna lie I didn’t enjoy your most recent works but this one is my fucking cup of tea like the old days!
Great job guys ❤️
Welcome back, Jerry!
By far my favorite video
I have been a fan for years. I just love the messaging and as a dad my daughter and I had a hard time finding an artist we could agree on. IFH supplied me with metal tones from the guitar and excellent riffs (TY Shawn). And Ariel..... Damn! So hard to find a better person for a teenage girl to follow, look up to, and take interest in. The tone of this song reminds me of The Scripted album and I love it! I am thrilled to see a full bad again ( I'm not sure if that is just for the video but I love it still). I have seen you guys a couple times so here's hoping 2021 sees the return of live music. Much love from the STL. Please come back. We are so close to Decatur anyway. Thanks for all you do!!! Keep it positive!!!
One word: LOVE
¡No puedo creer que ya pasó medio año desde que salió este temazo! 😳 😳 Que rapido se pasa el tiempo escuchando buenas canciones 😍🎶💜
Think I have watched this about... 50 times.
Streamed about.. 100.
Headbanged.. 1,000.
New favorite over rock n roll thugs!
Whenever I don't understand what I'm thinking or feeling Icon always knows how to express it for me and let it known what is going thru my mind... It's like they have a secret connection to my inner self and it helps to get it out... Love you guys..... Main reason I'm a huge fan!
bassline drop go craaaaazy I love this
I'm glad this has the classic icon for hire sound that I love :))
All i can say is Yes!! ❤️
They jave come so far since climbing out of the "box" that Tooth and Nail records placed them in. I'm glad to see the independent ventures have yielded such good results and they havent sold out or gone to the wayside. I hope y'all keep doing your things for years to come. Love the new music.
thank you for your kindness and support!
This song has beem on repeat since it came out. I'm obsessed
I love the guitar throw Shawn. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album...
I really like her movements in this song.
Крутая песня!
This is the Icon for Hire I remember! I'm glad they changed their style back
tmrw is my birthday so thanks for the present
happy early birthday 🎉
(You're showing your age) Every Time They CARD YOU !!😅
With such emotion, I can't wait! 😍💗
😍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the slient hill siren at the beginning also the love the song
It's almost like she had stumbled into some cultic shit... So awesome though this has got to be their best video yet!
(Every heritage has some kind of cult like mysticism)... But, Yeah they damn Good!
Always the best and always beautiful Ariel
Excellent! Can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I totally respect all your artistic endeavors. But this feels like a return to form for me that I really enjoy.
Love this! Congrats babes!
I cannot say much from experiencing your band's full spectrum from the "Make A Move" era to now (since I just discovered you).. BUT.. I have to say I am really loving the new sound and look forward to listening to it all from start to finish!
