Basically it's about the inner struggle of being alive but not feeling like you are living , you are not wanting to commit but you are poisoned with depression. Even though you are depressed you try your best to stay positive but in reality you are barely holding on tired just always feeling like you are missing something. Hoping to find that thing you are missing but it's uncertain "holding on to smoke". Through it all fighting to tell yourself this isn't you.
Exactly why this song hits so hard for me. Been going through a lot lately and feels like you never get a break. Your day starts out great and just collapses out of nowhere. Greatly appreciate lyrics like this as it reinforces so many other people go through these exact same feelings

Of all of MIW song, this one really hits me most. It describes my life perfectly. Depression, anxiety, self doubt. I basically live by going through the motions.
I've never wanted to be someone's friend so badly 🥺 Every song hits me in the heartstrings and brings back things I've never finished working through. A big thank you to the whole band for the cathartic, screaming therapy 😌🥰
thats what this kind of music is, the cheapest therapy you'll ever find. (good headphones are seriously worth the investment if this is your preference)
A song quite literally about our own personal decadence. That we indulge in to hold onto some morsel of a good reality we can live with. Smoke we barely hold onto.
I’m not addicted but I’m not clean!!! Relate to that!!!! I love you guys!!! I would love to see y’all at a Concert!!! I’ve never been to a actually concert an I’m almost 30 lol. But I love you Chris motionless!!! I relate to you and your lyrics. Biggest fan!!!! MTW!!!! Thank you for keeping me sane
Inferno Gaze you're entitled to your opinion. Even if it's the wrong opinion. Debuting #1 on billboard hard rock albums chart is nothing to sneeze at. Though overall it still didn't perform as well as Reincarnate. Voices, eternally yours, and soft are some of the best songs I've seen them perform live.
This album hits hard. They've outdone themselves with Disguise, and I love them even more for this. There is already a whole tattoo sleeve planned, dedicated to the lyrics out of the songs of MIW that mean the most. The centerpiece will be this song.
Who else is going to Rockville to see these guys I can't fucking wait almost every song speaks to me in my soul sometimes I jus smile listening to all their songs the Bring out the stronger darker side of me ❤
Had my three year old niece head banging so that’s a thumbs up from her lol. A thumbs up from me too! This is awesome, guys. 🖤 Always are achieving above my expectations. 😍 Never disappointed.
Can we apriciate so much how under so simple title there is such a deep song?! Chris is awsome in whriting lyrics. Real talent and poetry. If He was not a singer i would just pay for his book of poems! I would sleep with it and cry)

Not gonna lie... I've been at that kind of place for a while. Still haven't found what is missing yet to make me finally get back on track.

God this whole album is everything I thought itd be and more!
Same
Same!
Oh yess
Relistening to it all today on repeat in prep for the new one lmao
MIW is OFFICIALLY it’s OWN genre and OFFICIALLY my FAVORITE GENRE
You’re completely right ^_^
Uhhhhhhhh this sounds a lot like other bands already nothing new here
@Onyi Turner come on, they are good in what they are doing but it's nothing new, that ain't a genre only they play
I honestly think this song sounds more like breaking Benjamin than any song they've ever done.
The Bowl Combo I never got into Breaking Benjamin, but if they make songs like this, I should change that! Any suggestions?
I'm so hyped for this album. MIW never fails to impress.
Because his perfect :V
It's amazing
"In all my pride,
All my shame
I find strength enough to show you,
I may bend but I won't break
Cause I define who I become" I feel that
Never related so much to a song in my life. I'm crying
2:21 , the Breaking Benjamin influence is at its stand alone strongest. Chris makes this shit sound so beautiful.
I hear breaking Benjamin all over it but DAMN ITS GREAT!!!
Didn't even notice just how much this song sounds like Breaking Benjamin until I saw this
The cadence of the first two lines of the chorus is almost exactly the same as “I will not bow, I will not break.”
Yeah. The vocals sound almost exactly like Ben here, too.
“Im tired of being human, I’m tired of being numb”
Damn
i wish i could stop feeling
"I may bend, but I won't break cuz I define who I become." When I hear those lyrics, they are just another reminder that no matter how hard life is, you gotta keep moving forward.

Filthy furry
Shit hits like a ton of bricks. Fighting for your life while your empty inside is truly something else. Our will to live is fascinating
2:22 Reminds me of Hopeless by Breaking benjamin

I'm tired of feeling comatose
I've lost the me that I loved most
I'm barely holding onto smoke
I'm barely holding on to smoke!
I'm not addicted but I'm not clean
Why do I do this to myself on repeat
So disconnected from my own reality
Am I man or machine
If I give, will you take?
As I lie for the taste
I just fuck it up
As you lap it up
(Go!)
Through flesh and bone
I walk alone
(Go!)
If I run will I fade away
'Cause I don't wanna leave it behind
In all my pride, all my shame
I find strength enough to show you
I may bend but I won't break
'Cause I define who I
Define who I become
I miss the me that I have not met
Choking in silence on the words left unsaid
I feel a sickness for a home I've never been
And I exist in black and white but now I'm seeing red
I built a shelter in complacency
Locked myself in and set fire
And threw away the key
Too scared to live but I'm afraid to die
So am I living or am I just alive?
In all my pride, all my shame
I find strength enough to show you
I may bend but I won't break
I define who I who I become
'Cause I'm tired of feeling comatose
I've lost the me that I loved most
I'm barely holding on to smoke
But I'm holding on, I'm holding on
Broken! I'm holding on
Driven! To right the wrong
Silent! Connected yet I feel so separated
Fallen! Through flesh and bone
Frozen! I stand alone
Deafened! In silence the voice remains
Behind my eyes, beneath my rage
I was struggling to get through
Out of time and out of faith
I define who I become!
In all my pride, all my shame
I find strength enough to show you
I may bend but I won't break
'Cause I define who I
Define who I become
'Cause I'm tired of feeling comatose
I've lost the me that I loved most
I'm barely holding on to smoke
But I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm tired of being human, tired of being numb
I'm waiting for the holy ghost to come
So save me from the webs that I have spun
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on
Holding on to smoke!
it's waiting* and there's in the 35 line *who I who I it's only one "who I"*

METAL IS ALIVE
The way Chris sings "I just fuck it up" gets me every time ❤ Absolutely amazing song
"Connected Yet I Feel So Separated" I felt that.
As a terminal stage 4 colon cancer patient I needed this song so badly!!! Thanks guys for this one and I’m from the 570 area as well!
Yikes. Hows it going?... if I dare ask...
@@Connection-Lost he's dead lmfao rip
@@Connection-Lost No reply... rip
Rest in peace buddy. I hope you had a good life.
I was in need for slower metal songs and MIW delivered 👌
It’s like Breaking Benjamin & MIW had a baby. Classic BB vibes on this one. 2 great bands and I cannot get enough of this one 2 years later
Glad I'm not the only one who caught the Breaking Benjamin influence
Those lyrics are so powerful...I think this is the first song I feel like I can relate to.
Of all of MIW song, this one really hits me most. It describes my life perfectly. Depression, anxiety, self doubt. I basically live by going through the motions.

Love this album so much so far it's awesome.
2:20 Sounds like the chorus for hopeless by breaking benjamin😍😍😍
My first listen I listened to hopeless right after
@@danielseale9636 Lol. Same here. I NEVER heard B.B Hopless song and the chorus is reminiscent of eachother.
it's still the same
I would say in this song those vocals sound better.. in my opinion
One of my favorites from BB, so I most definitely appreciate the homage payed to Hopeless!
They definitely took time with the lyrics first
Loving this 🤘🏻
"I'm Tired Of Being Human Tired Of Being Numb, Waiting For The Holy Ghost To Come." I'm Getting that Tattood.
did you get it tattooed?
@@rhettizdead doubt it
@@redloops306 why
You guys have matured so beautifully through the years. You’re basically MILF’s of music at this point \m/
They've really grown so much in the music industry. Trully amazing. MIW never let's us down as fans.
I'm feeling a poke of old Motionless, as well as some Breaking Benjamin. Nice to hear
Definitely some breaking Benjamin. Listen to Hopeless and then 2 minutes on of this song, it's great
Tessa Weber not really
Yeah I'm hearing a bit of Benjamin in this.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard some BB influence in this song. Sounds amazing honestly and I hate how I just now found this album.
I love that,AND i love to both bands
I'm so proud of this band because they come so far like really 💜🖤💜🖤 Love the album!!!
A song quite literally about our own personal decadence. That we indulge in to hold onto some morsel of a good reality we can live with. Smoke we barely hold onto.

This Song need a Music video
Yh bro
This song give me goosebumps and make me want to cry happy tears
Chris is the younger Corey Taylor, such great vocalist, now we need a Slipknot and MIW collab
Thst would be bad ass
i always thought miw would do such a good cover of unsainted
Agreed!
I'm sure you can find a motionless in white and slipknot mashup
@@johnnymetcalf5613 for sure, but it just isn't the same as an actual song

I'm just kidding i love that album
I thought Graveyard Shift was their worst album and I think this is their best, under the same record company interestingly enough
Right?!
This album hits hard. They've outdone themselves with Disguise, and I love them even more for this.

One of the best songs I've heard in my life
MIW always has sticked to it’s sound, and they’re continuing to impress!
Uhm what do you mean sticked to its sound? They literally change genres and style every album?
Motionless in benjamin...its insane!!
Pylikadeath Breaking White?
Conrad Monson why not haha?
Is there another singer? He didnt sound like Chris, but I didnt see any feat. .... in the description.
@@conradmonson30 maybe its not like him. But trust me, its chris 🤪

MIW did well on this song. i love chris voice
I love Chris's voice. He has an ability to write my life lol. I love these guys!!!
3:02 is literally "i will not bow" by breaking benjamin!!
Hopeless
their best album for sure!
I’m not addicted, but I’m not clean
Why do I do this to myself on repeat?
If we aren’t there, we have been there.
This is why I love electro -rock, it gives you some abstract feeling that you cant fully recognize and you just vibe with it
Poetic as always. I define who I become. So inspiring.
Great song. Anyone else think 2:20 onward is similar to the chorus from Hopeless by Breaking Benjamin?
Love listening to this on my last day of school so I can enjoy the album all summer long!!! 🖤🖤🖤
This song is absolutely my favorite. I love you guys.
End is a huge throw back to the first two albums. Amazing
2:22 Breaking Benjamin - Hopeless (the chorus) DUH
god that background screaming before 3:00 has such Breaking Ben vibes, this whole album hits the early 2000s feel perfectly
In love with this song! 💙
Connected yet I feel so separated...
DAMN.
