If you haven’t checked out their last EP, it’s just as heavy as this one!
I really enjoyed this vid man. Normally I hate long reaction videos but youre super thoughtful and articulate and very insightful! Great vid my dude 👊
That’s EXACTLY what I was hoping for going into this! Thank you so much brother 👊🏽
Good stuff. Gonna check out your band too.
I hope you enjoyed it dude! Thanks so much!!!
So happy I found your channel! Looking forward to seeing more videos!
So glad I came across your channel man!!! The Amity is one of my top fav bands, I love the reaction!!!🔥
These guys have been in my fucking life they always rip and they didn't disappoint with this song and i see dead people
I'm ready enjoying your content keep up the amazing work.
while I can't be certain of the exact meaning of the song because I don't have the opportunity to ask them, my impression is that it is a song about self-loathing. feeling like the person telling the story feels worthless, and that the people around them would be better off if MC (main character, or person telling the story) was dead. asking to meet the so called god who would let MC die via gun. so it's definitely an Amity song through and through, and relatable to many people, and so far my favorite of the 3 singles released up to now, March 29
Dude your band is awesome!
Love your videos man! I followed you everywhere!
You’re the best dude, thanks a ton!!!
Ayo good reaction man! If you havent been around TAA for a while for the heavier stuff id defintley react to "Death is all around" and "Like love"

Awesome reaction and just checked you out on apple., your music is killer, just added you to the playlist.
Duuuuude THANK YOOOUUU!!!
I'm here from the bad omens reactions but this is a hell of a way to start your own channel - amity, bad omens, dayseeker, etc. good shit, man. I also got to see amity with blessthefall & secrets for my 15th birthday - they're just as good live as well
Thanks so much! I got to see them when that package hit Portland! I unfortunately didn’t know much about them back then, but they were stellar live.
As an on-off Amity fan since the Youngbloods album many years ago, this was a refreshing track from them. The usual issue they have with their choruses all sounding a little too similar (Aaron has a great voice and they are always catchy, but there's this predictabiliy about them that is hard to put into words), but otherwise the bones of this track were super solid and it sets a cool tone with the synth choir etc for where they're heading next.
Great video!
I interpret it as a rebuke to the people in his life telling him those meaningless phrases "god has a plan", "if you just accept god", etc.. and his response is kinda like "if god is really gonna save me, then quit trying to stop me from meeting him". Most of their music has sort of anti-religious undertones, so I feel like my interpretation is solid. Good review bro. Aslo pretty sure that the "well" he's asking to be thrown down is the barrel of a gun, so "throw me down the well, throw me into hell" is a euphemism for suicide.
Hell yeah, thanks so much for the info and input!
Good reaction man!! You should react to like love by amity affliction it’s sooo good as well!!
*Like Love, Drag The Lake, Soak Me in Bleach, All My Friends Are Dead* are some fantastic songs by Amity!
And they’re hit or miss for me as well, but I think you’ll love these
As an Australian, I feel the lyrics may be a nod to the violence that comes with "gun fanatics", and I'm not talking about second* amendment rights or gun ownership, I'm talking about the "fanatics" who liken owning a gun to playing god with anyone who comes at them. I probably read the lyrical content too literal, but growing up as a teen in Australia's gun law reform, I can't help but think it may have had an influence in my mind. Could be way off, but that's just my interpretation. That's the beauty of music - you get what you need out of it.
All interpretations are welcome, my friend! If it is, they’re certainly hitting the nail on the head.
Yeah as a fellow Aussie I got the same impression. With so much international conversation around mental health, access to firearms and the historical backdrop Amity grew up under over here that seems to be one way to interpret things.
With that lense, the song's message essentially boils down to that line 'if I had your god in my hands, i'd be dead tonight', with 'your god' being a bit of a jab at American gun culture and the way in which it has almost become its own religion. The song as a whole touches on the themes of loss, suicide, mental health etc that Amity are well known for but also throws in a bit of commentary that, as a rule, people at their rock bottom in Australia don't have access to firearms the way somewhere like the US does.
That can be interpreted by i'm sure many as a positive; one less potent tool in the hands of someone at risk of harming themselves or someone else. I also feel the song looks at it from the other perspective of the person experiencing suicidality and the rollercoaster of emotions they go through (from 'if I had a gun I could just go through with it easier', to the sobering realisation in periods of clarity that their lack of access to one might just be the thing that has kept them alive).
fuck yea :)
Bro is that the buster sword from ff7 tattoo? Anyway great reaction man! Definitely gonna check out some music from your band.🤘
HELL YEAH IT IS!!! FF7 was the first video game I fell in love with as a child 👊🏽 Thank you so much, brother!
nice video man!
Возможно, я буду не прав, но. это мое представление об этой композиции. Если на секунду представить, что лирический герой, это пистолет, то получается интересная картина. Ведь в начале сказано: "Мальчик, который кричал wolf" звук выстрела - крик. Когда ты находишь пистолет он пыльный, грязный и прогнивший, нашедший своего хозяина, у которого явно не благие цели. И на припеве нам как бы говорят: "Желает ли бог тебе смерти, зажав оружие в руках?". И вывод: "Не делай этого, брось оружие куда подальше. Избавься от него, кинь его в ад."
А в конце прям очень четко нам говорят о том, что если бы бог был в руках пистолета, а не его владельца, то владелец бы был мертв, утратив веру. Ведь у пистолета были великолепные планы.
