That's a fact‐
Appreciate your support! 💜 you guys are the best fans
@Strange and Eerie Stories so true😃
@Strange and Eerie Stories Definitely agree!
@@CitizenSoldier and we appreciate all of your help to all of us
I'm 55. You guys bring it all back to me when I think of my past. A healing is in your words. Keep up the great work guys. I could only image what you've all been through to write, then put music to your works.
Appreciate you Dale 💜
I'm 35 ..have seizures since I was 10 yrs old. Just listen to let it burn. Let the passion resonate
COOL Sound 💯🤘
@@zerocool4835 BLESS your Heart ❤️
Bless you Dale
Another release, another good day.
You're first Titan! 💜
Absolutely
@@CitizenSoldier I came so fast that my notification for the video arrived after the notification for the heart and reply.
@@titan4110 same too lol 😂😂😂😂
Facts man 🤘🤘
I was in middle school, and I had a group I'd hang out with. We would talk about videogames and stuff. We close, until the 6th grade, that's when things started going down hill. Before winter break started, they started distancing themselves without telling me what was wrong. Then they started calling me a stalker when all I wanted was to talk to them. Once school started back up after break, they would not talk to me or anything. The rest of middle school, I stayed by myself, not talking to anyone else. I started reading books outside. The thing about books is that they don't judge you, they don't criticize you. Sorry if this was a little long.
Your good sorry you had people like that in your past but it does put show you that they weren’t for you best wishes for you
People don't seem to like me very much as a person. More like a concept. Y'know, they don't talk to me on a daily basis or try to befriend me, but they all know me for being the small, quiet, smart kid. Everytime someone did try to talk to me, it was obvious that it was out of pity. If they kept at it for more than a few days and I eventually got to the point of being comfortable enough to talk back, it wasn't long before they left. Once, there was a girl who seemed like she really did care. Like she really did want to be my friend. She would talk to me almost every day at lunch because we didn't have any classes together, and she would sometimes even seek me out when she had nothing else to do. It felt amazing. Then, Summer went by. I didn't see her hardly ever once the new year started, and she stopped finding me on her own. I saw her once, walking to a class. I smiled at her. She looked right at me, then looked away and walked faster to pass me. I don't think anything else she could have done would've hurt as bad as that did. Ever since I became the object of pity, I've had an incredibly hard time believing anyone could actually want to be my friend. They all leave sooner or later. So I do other things and I try to stay out of the way. I've always been the kid sitting alone with a book. I know how it feels. I don't know what else to be at this point. I hope you don't end up like me. Sorry for rambling. I'm praying for you💙
The world will reject you… however, the Lord Jesus Christ will always be in open arms. He is making all things new - remember that!
Middle school sucked, high school was a little better but even after that you still lose friends and maybe stay in contact with one or two for a little while. I hear in college your friends stick better in your life, but always be true to yourself, follow your goals and dreams and live life to the fullest, if they wanna leave your life it wasn't meant to be ❤
They weren't real friends from the beginning, real friends sticks together and support each other during good times and bad times! 💯👍God bless 🙌 you. 🙏
"cause I know that I'm not the way you want me"
I've tried fitting in so hard growing up, always changing how I was but it was never good enough for them. So now I fundamentally refuse to change myself for anyone.
💜
"You'll try to fix me till im dead"
Woah, it really hit me, you guys always know how to make me emotional 💜💜💜
"I know am not the way you want me" hit me deep 💜🖤🎶
Appreciate your support! 💜 You guys are the best fans
This song really made me think on my past, when there were "friends" who manipulated me, backstabbed me, called me names, and talked horribly of me behind my back, painting a warped picture of who I really am to others. Thank you for for giving me the confidence to take a stand if it is ever to happen again. And thank you for creating this song.
Appreciate you 💜
I've been there before as well
I was there aswell I completely understand how you feel 😔💔
We all been there
Same... Though most of them were heartless bullies, not friends. They did all of this and more to me for years... The worst years were in elementary school, believe it or not. You’d think it would be middle or high school. Shit happened then too, of course, but nothing compares to 2nd and 3rd grade... Nothing...
"Love is like giving someone a gun, having them point it at your heart. And trust them to never pull the trigger." I don't know who said it but I think it goes well with this song. love you guess and the music you make
I believe it was M.J. Fields, but I'm not sure.
That's why I'm so afraid of it. It's like playing Russian Roulette with my heart. I'd rather not, lmao
I'm 14, I've been dealing with depression and self hate issues for a few years now. My parents can be toxic, it's not purposeful and they don't realize it half the time. I broke down a few days ago, and my parents know I like music and they asked me to share a song on how I felt. I shared this song, and my parents kinda dismissed it saying there was a lot going on and they couldn't deal with it at the moment and asked if we could talk about it in a few weeks. No one seems to understand me, they push and pull
and I'm never good enough for them, an A means nothing to them because my sisters get straight A+s. And I don't even know what I'm doing with my life anymore, I feel broken and alone. I don't even know what to do. Sorry this is so long, thank you for listening.
I can relate, I'm 22 now. And still feel broken, i fucked up my school, didn't graduate, tried different schools for 5 years. But been too sick to make it through them, can't keep a job, feeling like I'm at the rock bottom, don't even have enough money to eat most months.
You are still young, and have alot more fun things in your life waiting for you, new friends, maybe closer relationship with your family, it all takes time, but try to find something you enjoy, keep your head away from the bad things, find healthy hobbies. But never ever let someone else define you. YOU are special, you are the only YOU in the world. Sorry for blabbering, i just Hope you well & remember life has many many many things to offer, but you have to do something yourself, it won't just come by it self. Have a nice day/night ❤️😌
@@alexraithel8360 Thank you, this means so much to me. I hope everything gets better for you. You're still young to and I hope you're able to do what you love eventually no matter how much time it takes.
@@crimsonblazes2497 you're welcome, and thank you, appreciate it 🤗❤️
Hey, buddy, you're not alone and even though I don't know you - I wish only good for you. You are strong and I am proud of you ♥️
I'm 15, almost 16.. Dealing with trauma and maybe a bit of undiagnosed depression, or at least what I think are symptoms of it.. Haven't told my parents yet, only a few close friends.. I have a lot of song that relate to my feelings sometimes, and this is one I'm adding to that mental list. And I'm dealing with the same feelings of not feelings good enough with my grades (same with my sis getting A's), and I've been broken and scarred by my traumas even this young.. Recently even tho yesterday was Thanksgiving 2022 for me, the last few weeks have been difficult for me with feelings of self doubt and just how much I feel like I've pushed on my own friends that I can trust with talking about my traumas.
Hopefully your still doing well! Thanks for listening as well, find a way to finish this year strong!❤🩹We are not alone!
I love how this band saved so many lives with their lyrics. And they never needed much to do that... Just for the emotions they bring to us, behind it all... It's amazing, I can only say that and thank you!! U ARE NOT ALONE!!
Thanks Leonardo 💜
You have no idea how true that is and it’s one of the reasons I love Citizen Soldier so much, music is so much more important then most people think, really sorry if that didn’t make sense
Im not kidding when i say that u guys actually saved my life. I was at my very lowest of the low and was thinking about ending it all.
I was afraid of being alone beacuse i always thought about stuff that could end it all and thats when i found u guys by accident and i was crying my eyes out beacuse u understood me when nobody did. 😭😭😭😭
Im still struggling every day but
Ur songs actually saved my life.
I owe u guys my life.. thx u soooooo much for making mental illness aware... u guys save lives. Thx u. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@shadowhawk4164 im crying just reading this, it makes sense and no u did not offered me. Im just happy im not alone.❤
This band awoke emotions in me i didnt even know i had
absolutly amazing. Citizen Soldier NEVER fails to put my emotions into not only words but great songs.
Same
Appreciate your continuous support 💜 You guys are the best fans
@@CitizenSoldier just keep making bangers and it will never change ❤
@@DeathOfTime_Official we should be here for him not only for his songs
@@Cotton_Cloud4792 ik
I'm only 30 seconds in and this has become my new favorite Citizen Soldier Song.
Why it's so true😂😂😂??
Glad to hear that 💜
I feel like every new song becomes my new favorite pretty fast, which is a good thing!
@@CitizenSoldier you guys just keep dropping amazing songs! I love you guys so much!!! You've helped me through some of my hardest days.
@@ninapoznanski literally
This is one of those songs you could listen to over and over and still find something new and beautiful about it. The absolute attention to detail is fantastic
💜
The vocalist is a GOD
Its always impactful when you've dealt with people who thought were "supportive" but ended up being toxic to your growth. Love the song as always
Much love to you 💜
I know that feeling😔, honestly the people who ‘think’ they are helping you just make things worse and end up hurting you more, so sorry if that didn’t make sense
Also what does impactful mean😕, sorry if that was the wrong emoji, it’s supposed to me a confused face, sorry if that didn’t make sense
@@shadowhawk4164 impactful means something that is meaningful and touching is the best I can describe it.
@@eeveequeen349 thank you😄
I’m a 22 year old who’s still living with their parents. Music is my main way of decompressing when I’m in my own head, I like to be alone most of the time, and I consider myself an extremely selfless person, much to my own detriment. My dad is a narcissist who thinks that every attempt to help him is forced instead of voluntary, so it’s not good enough, yet he constantly seeks my help for anything from vehicle maintenance and yard work down to menial tasks around the house. He gets angry and threatens me anytime I ignore him and listen to music to calm my nerves, making it impossible to calm down or even be alone with my thoughts. And the only ones I’m able to keep in my head are self destructive, because I never feel like what I do is enough, no matter how hard I try. I don’t know whether to let this go like I have been and deal, or just drop everything and start over on my own, because it’s terrifying either way
my advise is not verry good but i think you should go on yourself and give your dad a choice of picking you over the things that he wants done.
Even though I'm alright now I'll keep on listening to you guys. You guys are great for real
Appreciate you! 💜 You guys are the best fans
Same, the main reason I started listening to Citizen Soldier is gone (I think) but I still find their songs so relatable and amazing and I will never stop listening to them, really sorry if that doesn’t make sense, autism makes your brain jumbled (autism is also the only thing I’ve been officially diagnosed for but I’ve done a lot of research and suspect I have plenty of other mental disorders and illnesses, to bad getting diagnosed costs money), sorry for complaining 😔
@@shadowhawk4164 It's alright, mate. We're free. Just be careful not to be too free
@@zackzq007 I don’t know what that means but okay and thank you, sorry if that didn’t make sense
"You criticize until I break and fall" remind me of the one person I thought wouldn't hurt me, ended being the one who shattered me. He tried fixing me and all it did was drag me down, I actually believed I couldn't be myself around him. I wasn't the way he wanted me to be, and it hurts knowing he 'reached his limit.' Your songs and my family are two of the things that help me, and I know I'm stronger than before as a result!
My mom and grandma come to mind while listening to this song...
they're always pushing so hard for me to be perfect that i don't even know who i am anymore..
Stay strong friend 💜
@@CitizenSoldier I'm trying.. It's just getting really hard...
I’m in the exact same position and I don’t know what to do and when I talk about they just say we want the best for you and then nothing is said again it’s tiring
You aren't alone and you are enough just existing 💜🖤
As human we want the to be accepted by the world, and I feel this way as well.
When I am rejected for my looks, beliefs, opinions and my heart, it hurts giving a feeling of self doubt and shame...
But realize this, if you are criticized for the way that God made you, how you feel, how you think, how you are, stand firm and do not wear a mask in a feeble attempt to gain acceptance- be honest to yourself and know that God loves you as you are. God makes no mistakes.
I'm never the way anyone wants me, but I'm me just the way God made, a warrior
messed up sleep schedules sometimes have perks like, being able to listen to a new citizen soldier song when it first comes out. But it's seriously a great song, keep doing what your doing I love the new song.
So true i could not agree more
Glad to hear that friend 💜
Right😂 the best thing ever
So true😀😃
Same here! I am exactly the same haha at least we have such a amazing band to help us and to listen to at times like that!
I’ve never clicked on a notification so fast before. This song is so unbelievably amazing 💜
Appreciate that 💜
@@CitizenSoldier I sincerely hope you know how much your music does for people. Your songs have saved me multiple times in the past, and every new single you release is outstanding. Keep fighting the good fight 💜
@@arcadia8936 you have no idea how true that is, if only people would LISTEN to the songs I show them, really sorry if that didn’t make sense, also nice name/picture thing(I don’t know what it’s called), sorry again
@@shadowhawk4164 That makes perfect sense actually, and I know how it feels to show someone a song and have them completely miss the meaning of the words. At least we can enjoy the songs for what they’re truly saying
@@arcadia8936 thank you so much for saying that Arcadia, for telling me that something I said made sense, also so true 😃
When society tell you that all is just inside your head.
It really is, all the demons inside wants me dead.
When the doctor says you just need to take a pill
But what they don’t know is you going through hell.
-As always best music from you guys 💜
💜
Music is always the best remity (don’t know how to spell it) for anything and always will be, sorry if that didn’t make sense
Music definitely is the best remedy alongside time and supportive loved ones
@@missqueenbee98 agreed! citizen soldier is my all time favorite band! their music helps me through everything, and it’s both comforting and encouraging! #CitizenSoldierNumber1
"Blood and Bruises on my name" part just gets me and it's really catchy.
🙏💜
"You hang me up, like art on the wall.
You criticize until I break and I fall."
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜💜
This is one hell of a song!!
This might as well be one of the most encouraging, thoughtful, and powerful songs you guys have ever written! As well as any song you guys make! Excellent work, as usual, Citizen Soldier! You rock our world!
😍😍😍💜💜💜
I might have the feeling of making a short cover of this song! It's addicting!! 🤘🏾💜🤘🏾
💜
Yeah. Those lyrics are hit me so hard. Makes me laugh faintly-cynicaly seeing my dad being those narcistic maniac monster ?
Forgive him ? *No.*
*=D*
@@fluffybunny0124 That's rough, buddy. 😢💔💔
But don't let go of this feeling! It will always help us in the future! And we'll be powerful than the monsters. 💜 😁🤘🏾✨
🤜🏾💥🤛🏾
@@khaliltamashiianimations Are you quoting Avatar on purpose? If you are that's awesome and you have great taste. I agree these lyrics are relatable. You aren't alone if this reminds you of your family members.
@@kenzgitz9884 😁✨💖 Heh! I guess I am doing that on purpose! Didn't even notice! Thank you for your kind words! 💜💜
This sorta reminds me of my dad in a way. Took me in a place I was born from, but don't belong there for a reason. I only went there to visit.
My aunt wanted me to go to college there. My mom didn't like that. And I sure as hell didn't like that either. So I didn't do it. Kept being myself and stayed doing my own things!
Making that choice helped me stay more human. I can't cut them off from my life, but I can always visit at anytime.
No blood and bruises on my name. 😤😤😤💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥
I'm a simple person, I see a new Citizen Soldier upload, I like
Haha love it! 💜
It’s hard to say how much this song resonates with me. I was in an abusive relationship for 10 years and my self confidence and self esteem took a huge hit. I reached my end limit when she hit me in front of a couple friends, I left and it’s been a struggle how much I miss her. This song will be going on repeat to remind me. Thank you so much!!
Stay strong Heather 💜
due respect, you deserve better than that scumbag. Hope you get better dear.
Yoooo its here
It is! 💜
0:50 all of those words/phrases in the background have been said to me many times by the one person that I, like many others about their parents, thought I could count on. This song really resonates with me just like the rest that I've come to love from this band. Thank you Citizen Soldier for finding a way to put into words and music what I have not been able to convey, please keep up the amazing work and doing what you do because your songs and the messages they hold mean a lot to me and many other people.
Appreciate you friend 💜
The pure grind this band has been on is truly inspiring. And I still feel like thank you for hating me helped with my depression more then my meds
💜
So true, though with me it’s “I’m not okay”, it’s gone now but those thoughts will always be there no matter what, sorry if that didn’t make sense
Sleep can wait when it comes to one of my top 5 Favorite Bands of all time
Thanks Andrew 💜
The wait is over let's goooo!
Let's do this! 💜
Yes
These songs always help me because no else will. 💜 music really brings people together and reminds us we’re not alone. This band expresses how I/people feel better than we can even explain it to ourselves.
💜
I commented something similar to that!!! I agree so much with that!!! You put the feelings we can never explain well into words and bring us together. It helps to know that the feelings I/you have are valid, and that people care.
@@ninapoznanski you have no idea how true that is, how much music helps people, sorry if that didn’t make sense
"Always on trial in my head"...exactly what I do in every situation. Another great song that I've listened to multiple times now
I am absolutely speechless. This song speaks so much and brings back memories that I wish I could forget. I always feel like I'm a disappointment to my dad, and sometimes he even tells me straight up that he's disappointed in me among so many other things. I wish that I could walk or away, or that he'd listen, but until I'm out of high school: escaping reality it is!
I know what you mean 😔
It gets better when you are able to leave their home. It used to be the same with my mother so I guess i know what you're going through... Don't give up on yourself. We're standing with you 💜
I'm going through the same things with my parents. I hope you can get out soon.
It gets better. I promise. My mom was like that, wildly verbally abusive. Used to tell me that she wished she had aborted me, that I ruined her life, all that shit. And if you hear it enough, you start to believe it. So anytime you start to feel that way, any time you start to wonder if your dad is right, I want you to think of my words instead, ok? Write them down some place of that helps, and every time you need to, read them again, over and over. You are enough. You are worthy, you are amazing. You deserve to be happy, and one day you will be, bevause I promise it gets better. So just hang on
I absolutely love this song already. Lately been struggling to feel good enough. But your music always comforts me and brings me strength to keep going. This song is no different.
Stay strong Olivia 💜
The song was so good, it crashed the app on my phone so I have to use my PC.
Another amazing song that speaks to the soul of everyone here.
Sorry we crashed your PC lol 💜
I swear every song yall make touches me deep. I was raised by emotionally and mentally abusive grandparents, and man it did feel like this constantly. I was the "gifted child", the art on the wall, that they *still* constantly criticized until I broke.
I've escaped, and I'm picking up my pieces slowly. It's a process, but songs like this help show me I'm not alone.
💜
I grew up with my mom and meet my dad at 15. Till I meet him I always felt like I was a extra wheel. I wasn't fully there distant lost angu all the time. Always felt like something was missing, a real father is what I needed. My step dad never gave me that comfort.
How is it that all your songs turn from pure gold to platinum with just a few words?
had exes tell me my mental illness doesn't exist or im making it up daily when i was with them it made me question myself, this song pretty much screams everything i wish i could have said to them thank you for another amazing song!
💜
Ik how it feels, one of my exes told everyone that I only tried to kill myself for attention and made up rumours that everytime he would call someone else I would threaten to kill myself 😐. Ik I'm just a stranger but I'm here if you need to talk
Interesting sound with this one kinda industrial ish. Wasn't expecting that. Banger song
💜
I added this song to my playlist before even hearing it because I knew it would be awesome.
Thanks 💜
I love this "It's raining in this empty cup, filling up, but only halfway, cause I know that I'm not the way you want me.
Can you hear me now, spilling out, when I say: enough is enough, this glass is breaking, let it fall cut me up, I'll still be standing" it reminds me of myself because I feel this way. It's enough, I'm breaking. I'm not the way, others want me to be. I'm breaking under this situation I'm in and currently searching for professional help. I'm reaching out for help and ask the others if they can hear me now, because I show them it's enough for me, and that I want to change that on my own way and still be standing afterwards, no matter how much they they to keep me from my way to happiness.
Thank you Citizen Soldier ❤️
💜
Your songs speak for those of us who are exhausted and have gone silent. Your lyrics portray the unspoken hell that many suffer and others ignore. Thank you.
"it's raining in this empty cup, filling up, but only half way. 'cause i know that i'm nor the way you want me"
OUCH MY FEELS
I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL
This was incredible you guys did so well on this song. And Jake's voice never fails to impress me and hearing the amout of emotion you deliver was amazing much love to you guys and keep it up💜🤟🎤🎸
Appreciate that 💜
I feel bad that I don’t actually know Citizen Soldier’s names or anything about them except for the fact that they have been through the same things we have (which is how they know exactly what to sing to get to us)at least that’s what I think, I make be thinking of linkin park but anyway what you said is so true, so sorry if that didn’t make sense
@@shadowhawk4164 no worries mate I understood lol and yeah they do an amazing job when it comes to putting so much emotion in there songs that's why I love these guys
@@zangetsu1156 thank you for saying that🙂, also so true, sorry if that didn’t make sense, I’m honestly surprised you read my comment so thank you for that too, again sorry if that didn’t make sense
I grew up in a home that was very mentally and emotionally abusive and I very resently just this month got out finally and this song speaks so much to me of what it felt like being there
im sorry to hear this i know it will get better
@@janicelawson8887 Thank it's been a few months now that I've e been out of that environment and it's already too.
Ah yes. Another song I can replay over and over and never get sick of
Thanks Alexis 💜
I love it more everytime I listen to Citizen Soldier. The Empty Cup burns us down until we are gone. Fill the cup with hope and you won't be empty
This is phenomenal!! I love the lyrics, the message, just everything about this song!! I can’t wait to see what your creative brain comes up with next!!
Appreciate you Kindra 💜 You guys are the best fans
@@CitizenSoldier Thank you so much for everything you do, also I’m pretty sure you’re one of the only bands that actually take the time to read through the comments and reply to them which just makes you even better, it makes us or at least me feel like we are being seen, heard and there is not enough thank you’s to let you know how much WE appreciate YOU, sorry if that didn’t make sense but thank you🙂😀
It's amazing how you guys can release one meaningful after the other without being repetitive. You guys are amazing, you touch so many people and I hope you continue doing music for a long long time. We need more of you!
Appreciate those words 💜
When you sing the chorus it’s makes me think of what I would love to be able to say to my family. For them everything I do is never good enough. I would get 100% in some classes in high school but they would only say that I should have worked harder in those I got 90%. I got into one of the most prestigious university in my country but they told me that since I don’t have a job that I’m lazy.
I’m so tired of my family constantly saying that I don’t put effort into anything and that I’m never going to do anything good with my life. If only I had the courage to tell them that enough is enough and that I’m breaking inside and that I’m so tired of hiding everything…
All this to say I love your music and you take a bit of the pain away with everything song you write 🙂
There is a song for every mood along the rollercoaster. Thank you. It helps more than you will ever know. So satisfying to sing along. Singing is and always will be the best way for me to shed the bottled up emotions.
Citizen Soldier is just a huge vibe, and if you pay attention to the lyrics, you get a heaping dose of, what could be someone's reality, I absolutely love you guys
I have been following yall for a long time. Your music has helped me with my rough times and even helped me decide to reach out to people. Thank you for writing such meaningful songs that I relate so much to.
Much love to you 💜
Very interesting song, I didn’t expect this, I really like certain parts of this song.
💜
Aside the amazing meaning of the song but some of the lyrics in this song same as thank you for hating me make me want to know more about each band member and who or what they did before joining citizen soldier. Great song guys keep it up!!!!!!
💜
Another song for me to listen to when I feel like crying.. Letting it all out and listening to this bands amazing music just brings it all around. I can listen to 100 other bands, but Citizen Soldier just knows how to describe everything that I feel inside to a T..
Hope you're doing well, sending virtual hugs your way :)
💜
I love it!! ❤️ "Can You Hear Me Now!" So Heartfelt!! 🤗💕
"Always on trial in my head"
I'm 21 and I have borderline personality disorder, to me that quote explains the biggest struggle of them all. Most of the times I don't know whether I'm overreacting on things or I have the right to feel the way they make me feel, relationships are a struggle for me.
It's like having a really bad person inside of you that sees the world in a gray color, usually it's hate, disgust towards others and yourself. Someone always questioning your decisions, your authority, making you questions that constantly evaluate the actions of other people whether they can be trusted or not.
Took me a while to understand that I just can't have a relationship with anyone because of my irrational fear of abandonment ends up hurting the ones I love and loved. So, instead I just distract myself from my "problem" with things I enjoy. Unfortunately maybe I won't ever get to experience happiness without asking myself whether I'm truly happy or not all the time. It's a constant reminder but I'm trying to at least feel happiness through the use of a placebo such as my hobbies and the company of my friends. I'm not dead as long as I'm able to reason and think by myself.
This song is so good to help me and my fiance dealing with the shit his mother is putting us thru and I know it will help us leave and move forward away from the toxicity that she is causing us thank you for making such a powerful song.
You know we all have are moments and some moments last a while but we have to fight right?....thank you citizen soldier for helping us fight...y'all really have helped me a little and I appreciate it 💜🖤💜🖤
Man this hits hard as someone who used to be abused and not being able to stand up for myself when needed.
💜
Английского языка я не знаю,понимаю отдельные слова,но не более.Но ваши песни так цепляют,так захлестывают эмоциями,что хочется,чтоб весь мир услышал ваши песни!
💜
When my thoughts think they’re gonna win, I find myself right here and it’s the best place to be. You guys are beautifully amazing. Thank you and much respect always!!
Another release during the night I guess sleep can wait this song also touches my soul
💜
AHHHH IM SO EARLY
Edit:These lyrics are so beautifully written! 💜 You did it again Jake!!! 👍🏽
You are! 💜
@@CitizenSoldier Jake you did AMAZING with the lyrics💜
I wish there was more of these type of band that can show that true emotional feelings to people if they have a hard time that is what the world really needs.
Here as soon as I leave work gonna blast this all the way home getting in my feels again
💜
I swear, the newest releases always end up becoming my favorite song. They make songs people NEED and WANT to hear lmao. This is great!!
💜
Wow! The imagery, the lyrics.. I expected it to be great, and it is, I just didn't expect it to hurt so much.
💜
I really needed this. I have had many relationships in which I am supposed to be someone and unable to change. Grant it, I change to be who people want, but I have been trying to be around people who let me change and accept me. It's terrifying to admit someone is toxic, but extremely important to grow and be comfortable in your own skin.
Thanks for sharing Sophia 💜
This song summarises 16 years of my life perfectly. I lived with a relative who treated me like I'm not a person - no, I simply wasn't allowed to have interests and attachments like any other person. They wanted me to only follow their instructions, since, I guess, they thought it would make me perfect. To them, I needed be something they could show off with to their friends. Their own secret work of art. Well I wasn't a sculpture or a painting. I was, am, and will be a person. Broken because of all the mental abuse and mistreatment, but I'm still human.
It's funny how all their attempts to make me flawless ruined most of me. I have 2 PTSD disorders, lack of confidence, and scary thoughts in my head that I wish had never appeared.
My relationship with this person isn't over. They keep taunting me whenever we meet, but I try my best not to listen to a single word they say. I will not give in to their mental torture a second time.
I really like your songs I wish I heard them when I was younger music tends to help me when I'm in a dark place so now as I grow up and like me I'm sure you songs have probably saved lives your music reminds me why I am still alive and to going.
I love you guys! You never disappoint! #myfavemusic
Thanks Kaitlyn! 💜

Exactly 💯
How is every song that’s released so amazing! One of the most consistently amazing bands I’ve ever heard!

I didn't want to sleep just to hear these beauty 👌🏻

You know it's a good song when you can't stop listening to it on repeat.
As usual the first time I listen to a Citizen Soldier song I'm crying because it seems like you guys get in my head and say the words I can't. I'm finally finding the strength to face my inner critic that spews all the criticisms and self doubt I've carried for almost 40 years. The realization that I can break free is an amazing thing.
I honestly lost track of time and didn't realize it was late until people commented abt it😭👍🏻anyways the song is really great and I just wanna say that your music really has helped me through a lot and I hope you realize how much your music helps people
It’s ok 💜
Another great song. Excited for more.
I agree 💯
Appreciate your support Tyler 💜
Every song y'all make makes me feel amazing and helps me feel better. Not to mention every time I listen to a song I just wanna learn how to sing and play guitar so i can make others feel the same way y'all make me feel. Keep making these masterpieces!😍🥀✨🎶🎸🎤🤟
Glad to hear that 💜
Modern day skillet is exactly what I think. Hands down. ABSOLUTELY UNDERRATED ❤️
When I say
Enough is ENOUGH
This glass is
BREAKING!
Let it fall
Cut me up
I’ll still be
STANDING!”
Most relatable lyric for me. I’ve gone through Hell and back to get where I am, and even though I keep getting knocked back down to the ground almost every day, I’m still standing strong and proud. 💪💜🤍👍

Fantastic job!!
This is another amazing song.
As always with almost all of your songs or hits close to home.
Being emotionally/mentally abused as a child, toxic people in my life and self hatred I relate to this song and the pain/trauma I went through and still deal with to this day.
Thank you again for giving us another amazing song 💜💜
Appreciate you Steph 💜
This song reminds me of when someone very close to me once told me that all of my hopes and dreams were basically never going to happen and actively pushed against me doing what made me happier, so I had enough and I'm working towards my dreams without him to pull me down.
Thank you for another great song Citizen Soldier!
It’s impossible to find a bad song by Citizen Soldier 💯

Amazing 👏 work i absolutely love the song 🖤🖤🎶🎶👏👏
I love your work so much!!! I watched part of your stream on Sunday, and it made me realize how very much you care for your fans mental and emotional health, not that I didn't believe it before, but I saw a whole new level of you being completely understanding and even offering to have one on one conversations with your fans, which not a lot of bands are willing to do. You are loved by and I hope I'm not hurting anyones feelings by saying this) all of us!!! You have saved me from myself by just making me see that I'm not the only one who feels these things. Thank you so much for that.
I realize I'm rather late to the party though...
I LOVE THIS I WISH I COULD SONG WRIGHT LIKE YOU❤️💓💖🤗
