My favorite Creed song! I was in my own prison: a prison of hopelessness, depression, giving up too easy. Not anymore! I'm breaking out of my prison by believing in God/Jesus. God speed!🙏❤️❤️
Being Sober 3 and 1/2 years after 33 years of drug and alcohol abuse Which has caused me a lot of mental illness With anxiety and depression Watching The lyric video to the song reminded me I'm not alone I'm Sure Some of you know how important that really is
Awesome man. Ive got 273 days today from alcohol. Had a good 12 year run of destruction before getting help a third try. So glad I did. But we never come out completely unscathed. I feel ten years older than I should, but not as bad as I did though. So Im very thankful I didnt die like that. And were not alone brother.
the songs have the Christian message in them. I love that! With black metal, and other negative music out there, it is nice that Creed knew how to counter that with uplifting, positive music.
Miss You Dad 😔 You left on a Sunday Morning December 13, 2020. Dad Rest In Peace, pushing 3 years and its just getting harder. Dad taking care of your Vette, CZR 🙏 Love You Dad
See Jeff sir it's that thought that awakens real faith in the Lord and shuts down the devil in his tracks very proud of people that have the seed in them we will be victorious in this war of good and evil. That my friends is a fact. You don't have to do a thing except love and the fastness of what's next is grace
I feel the Holy Spirit when I hear this song. Jesus Christ is the Savior. May we turn from our sins and repent. Jesus, Jesus thank you for your salvation and grace!
Man you ain’t lying. I can feel his presence a lot but this song really connects with the tug of war feeling that have I done enough . Have I been forgiven . I think so but when you’ve hurt people and done the things I did , you just seem to always wonder , will I be forgiven . But I’ve created my own prison like he says
Man I've done nothing to deserve His forgiveness. I've struggled with porn addiction from 10yrs old up until last year. Only Jesus Christ has the power to free me. He freed me from 11yrs of porn addiction.
I have no idea why I'm still here! "After banging my head" a thousands times I should be dead? But here I am watching the world destroy itself and come to it's end! Trust in Jesus, he can and does save! I know this for a fact. I have 11 years sober now!!!! God bless all of you struggling right now with addiction, in all it's forms!!!
Creed was one of the most underrated groups of our time. They made real music that made us think about life and decisions and unfortunately I assume that wasn’t the direction the industry wanted to take us… should have as they were and are legendary in my opinion…
Underrated? Wtf man they were on top of the world at their peak. Just bc they’re no longer together and they’re old doesn’t mean they were underground or sthg.Ur tripping 😂
i started drink whan i was 13 years old ......not so long after bettween 14 and 15 i also started to take drug like pot hash and lsd ....at 17 i was on pcp and coke .....hallucination psychotique episode delirium ...etc at 24 i staeted the fight again dependance ....i am 61 now and free since 2003 ...when i listen this song it s hit me in my soul ......thank you scott .....
this song reminds me to never give up hope... helps me express my true feelings out about myself and to the people who actually care enough to listen to what i have to say... for those who believe we have god on our side and that's all we need!
easy, god is everywhere as he is omni present think of the lives that were saved i 9/11 instead of how manny souls he wanted back to him and well god is a term used for manny things other than sheer belief itself and spreads amongst manny topics
I can never listen to this song without having sparks shooting up and down my spine. (So True: I SHOULD'VE BEEN dead on MANY mornings!!! Nothing more Amazing than Grace).
I as well. It's by his grace I'm still here. Was an addict for around a decade. Od'd and had to be brought back..... That was the beginning of the end. Been sober for over 2 years from EVERYTHING. Never looking back. Hope all is well with you.
They say they’re not a Christian band but they’re soldiers for God. This proves you don’t need the devil to make great music. God has better deals than the devil.
I listen to this song whenever I get depressed. I had a rough several years. Abuse, Drinking, and my mother's death. I was contemplating ending it all... I really was. The painful memories were overwhelming. But I look at pictures of my childhood to remind myself of better days.
These songs have been my childhood, Thanks to my Dad. I've been listening to these songs probably since before i could talk. This song has always been my favorite from Creed.
love this song so much...its kick ass an according to who you want can have so many different meanings This song reminds me also of my dad rest in peace Donny Wayne Kelly from you now 24 year old daughter it's been a long time since I've seen you and I'll see you again one day going on two years now but least now you get to sit beside God and talk to him and this song has some of the best lyrics I've heard this song has very good deep meaning to it. What God bless you all
I use to listen to this Cd with my dad driving around in his car. He use to turn this song up. It has some very strong lyrics to which we can build our own prison in life and choose which path we walk here on earth. That in turn will giveway to where we end up someday. My dad passed away in 2001. This song always reminds me of him. This album itself wonderful. No matter what age I am I will always be my Daddy's little girl. I love you Dad ! Miss you. I feel for you too losing your dad I know even after many years it still hurts.
I know your comment is 7 yrs old, just wanted you to know it really spoke to me. Actually wants me to be better so my son isn't missing me. Thank you ❤
Creeds music has always been a source of truth n light in this world filled with so much darkness ...these words can mean many different things for many different people and that in my opinion is what great music is all about...I completely understand why they went so hard on him and tried to ruin his reputation now...eyes to see n ears to hear people... Truth is like a gift that just keeps on giving and speaking truth is one of the most courageous thing a person can do in this world filled with lies 💖
Excellent song of a Prodigal Son/Daughter. Praise the Lord for those who's been spared & has turned their life over to Jesus! For without Jesus our life is Nothing but a Prison cell - full of darkness awaiting our Demise..
Just listening to this song makes me think about the hell I was put thru growing up. Constantly being bullied and picked and treated like I was a loser. It was worst in High school. The constant bullying and harassment took a toll on me and it I was turning red: Red with anger and frustration and feeling powerless to do anything about it. I felt like no one cared and was willing to stand up for me and give me encouragement. Even my own older sister who went to the same high school as me, never lifted a finger to help me. That really hurt. I was red in anger I almost took matters in my own hands and I wanted to beat the living hell out of those who were Constantly bullying me. Ever since high school I have shown outright hatred towards anyone that bullies others for their own amusement. People like them are cowards. That goes for people who show no regard for other people's lives. When I hear this song it reminds me of my past. But I turned to God and he knows I'm no freak. I'm red with the blood of Jesus. Great song.🙏❤️❤️🎤🎸🎼🎶🎼🎶🎶🎼🎶
Im 22 now and back then I didn’t fully understand this song. I just liked it. But now that i'm older I realized that i could relate too it.. Especially now as i seek out the lord.. im finding it very hard to fully commit to the lord..My negative doubts hold me down but after listening to this song i cried and i opened the bible and started reading psalm. Big thanks to Scott Stapp for being real and pouring out such touching, relatable lyrics.
I feel the same. I think addiction is its own hell. I grew up hearing this song but it wasn't until I was a little older and battling addiction/mental illness that I real heard this song. Creed's concert was awesome! I wish Amy Lee would so a piano version
Reminds me of when this was first released...man, there was a lot going on during those times in the news, politics, and my personal life. A nice little trip down memory lane I suppose. Honestly forgot this band and song existed.
Omg I just found this song today the first part of it is exactly like a vivid dream I had years ago still sticks in my head to this day not so much the visuals but the absolute feelings I had in that court room with Jesus hovering gracefully with a stance like this matter of fact and ye knew but didn't speak a word it was me and my family waiting in the dock all nervous looking at waiting and if u thought about even muttering a word u were insulting him because we all knew this judgement would come we just had to wait then I woke up still waiting still haunts me it's definitely a warning luv u c
I listened to this song over and over while I was locked up. 20 years for 1st degree murder. I killed a man for a crime against a family member. The justice system failed me, so I handled my business. I created my own prison, and it was worth it.
Sometimes it is the only way forward, glad you made it through. Somehow I think I’d probably agree with what you did, if you did it for what I’m guessing.
This song always makes me want to cry because it was part of my childhood. I wish I could just go back to when I was 7-8 years old just to watch my young self jam to this music in my Dad's Mustang. ❤️
A euphemism of hell he OD'd but didn't die.. Gabriel is a messenger of God and let him know that he created his own prison not that you cannot get out of this personal hell we sometimes find ourselves..
Court is in session, a verdict is in No appeal on the docket today just my own sin The walls cold and pale, the cage made of steel Screams fill the room, alone I drop and kneel Silence now the sound, my breath the only motion around Demons cluttering around, my face showing no emotion Shackled by my sentence, expecting no return Here there is no penance, my skin begins to burn So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I hear a thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I cry out to God, seeking only His decision Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison I cry out to God, seeking only His decision Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one (And I said, ohh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time
I'd have to say just by the name of the band, they've always been faithful in God. Crede in old english means "I believe". I highly doubt the song is about drugs according to the writer, but it can mean whatever anyone feels from it. I think this song has to do with the same many Christians are rethinking nowadays, which is the Sabbath, one of the Commandments of God that many people are not following Gods law but the Catholic changes made to them. The prison is actually hell, meaning he likely feels he has no chance for salvation on judgement day, but maybe doesn't realise that it is by Gods grace, through Jesus, we can be saved.
Leave it to a christian to try and preach they agenda everywhere they can. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music man ppl can take when he says god as any god they choose to believe in. And this is about his habit hes been open about that for a long tima. Musics allowed to be interpreted so maybe just keep ur opinion to yourself if ur gonna preach
Hey Fifth horseman Your comment would make sense that he could be meaning any God if the lyrics didint use the name of the Right hand of Jehova the archangel Gabriel....you can sit and deny that this isnt a Christian band they can do so as well however their words come straight from God...and maybe they just don't want to claim to be a Christian band because of the backlash they may receive from listeners such as yourself but then that just means their ashamed of the Gospel. Anyway you can speak what you wish iv seen the grace of God I'm sorry you haven't and you deserve to.....because I see it everyday I feel it all around me I feel it under my skin a power like no other.....but your free to believe what you wish. My job isnt to force anyone to believe my Job is to spread the message and bring those who wish to listen to the King...I will not damn you I will not curse you unlike some Christians I do not hate another for their opinion but that doesnt mean i wont give them my own opinion Jesus is lord you can choose to believe or not but mark my words when those trumpets blow you will bow.
Sunday 8/17/2003 I was crossing the street when a driver in an SUV hit and ran over me. It’s a miracle I’m alive. 2 months later my husband suffered a grand mal seizure that left him brain dead. He died in April 2004. He had just turned 28 yrs old. Our daughter was 3 yrs old at the time. Sooo much more BS followed. This song was literally describing my life at that time
Scott Stapp writes amazing lyrics and Mark Tremonti is just absolutely incredible and an underrated guitarist to say the very least! People hated on this band because of the religous connotations but i for one think it's beautiful. ❤🙏
Thank you God for giving us music and people who try to show others the truth...dont be deceived by all you see and hear thats what the devil wants creed wants to awaken you and show you how to break you spiritual chains
You mean music as a whole doesn't actually exist anymore? The song I am listening to is fake here? I had to have heard it when it was produced to hear the real version?
2021 and this will always be my favorite to listen to over any song...... Major CREED.... fan I wish more than anything I could see them in concert....
During the late '90s, Creed emerged from a sea of post-grunge contenders to become one of the decade's biggest-selling rock bands. At a time when many other Seattle disciples were lapsing into inactivity or experimenting with less commercial sounds, Creed carried the torch of straightforward, grungy hard rock without apology -- and they were amply rewarded, selling millions upon millions of albums in just a few years' time. That success didn't translate into critical acclaim, however. Many reviewers slammed the band's music as derivative, and frontman Scott Stapp was a frequent, easy target for publications like Rolling Stone. Based on their frequently spiritual lyrics, some observers deemed Creed part of a new breed of alternative-styled Christian bands, an affiliation that Creed actively tried to downplay
My favorite Creed song! I was in my own prison: a prison of hopelessness, depression, giving up too easy. Not anymore! I'm breaking out of my prison by believing in God/Jesus. God speed!🙏❤️❤️
God bless you❤

My brother was killed. He had his problems this was his favorite song. Never forget him.

im so sorry for your loss i could NEVER imagine something happening to my brother
this was my cousins favorite song and she was killed a month ago...
Eric Bunch brother wasn't named Matt was he
Sorry for your lost brotha ! May he rest in peace .
Creed songs resonate because they are about real life. We all create our own prisons with our selfish pride. God bless.

That my friends is a fact. You don't have to do a thing except love and the fastness of what's next is grace
Thanks bro🤘💯
It is difficult to forgive a sinner but that only a way to reduce sin. And recover a person from guilty. For these we need to forget our own egoism.
@@primatic Can you explain your comment in an easier to understand way, like can you explain the meaning of your reply please, if you don't mind.
I feel the Holy Spirit when I hear this song.
Jesus Christ is the Savior.
May we turn from our sins and repent.
Jesus, Jesus thank you for your salvation and grace!

This band has helped me throughout some troubled times back when I was in the worst years of my life: middle school.
Music is a necessary component of life provided to man through God.If you find a sound that "clicks"...you will never lose your groove!

I use to pray Psalms 51 everyday for a long time and I heard this song for the first time it really spoke to me in a big way
You "must" hear their song, "Faceless Man" then!
This shakes the soul.I could feel something move over me.
It only happens to the best of us, enjoy it there's no better and healthy high than music 🎶💜🎶

The good thing about music like this is it can be interpretated in many ways. That's why it will be timeless.

Absolute classic.
Court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today just my own sin
The walls cold and pale, the cage made of steel
Screams fill the room, alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound, my breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around, my face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence, expecting no return
Here there is no penance, my skin begins to burn
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness, only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I cry out to God, seeking only His decision
Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison
I cry out to God, seeking only His decision
Gabriel stand and confirms, I've created my own prison
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
(And I said, ohh) So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said, ohh) All held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning, banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
Great song. Actual talent.
I been battling depression and self harm for years ❤ I hide it under my make and lashes with a fake smile cause deep down I'm hurt and lost inside
You have to keep fighting for yourself you deserve life
Thanks so much I appreciate that 🩷
I'd have to say just by the name of the band, they've always been faithful in God. Crede in old english means "I believe".
I highly doubt the song is about drugs according to the writer, but it can mean whatever anyone feels from it.
I think this song has to do with the same many Christians are rethinking nowadays, which is the Sabbath, one of the Commandments of God that many people are not following Gods law but the Catholic changes made to them.
The prison is actually hell, meaning he likely feels he has no chance for salvation on judgement day, but maybe doesn't realise that it is by Gods grace, through Jesus, we can be saved.
Leave it to a christian to try and preach they agenda everywhere they can. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the music man ppl can take when he says god as any god they choose to believe in. And this is about his habit hes been open about that for a long tima. Musics allowed to be interpreted so maybe just keep ur opinion to yourself if ur gonna preach
Hey Fifth horseman Your comment would make sense that he could be meaning any God if the lyrics didint use the name of the Right hand of Jehova the archangel Gabriel....you can sit and deny that this isnt a Christian band they can do so as well however their words come straight from God...and maybe they just don't want to claim to be a Christian band because of the backlash they may receive from listeners such as yourself but then that just means their ashamed of the Gospel. Anyway you can speak what you wish iv seen the grace of God I'm sorry you haven't and you deserve to.....because I see it everyday I feel it all around me I feel it under my skin a power like no other.....but your free to believe what you wish. My job isnt to force anyone to believe my Job is to spread the message and bring those who wish to listen to the King...I will not damn you I will not curse you unlike some Christians I do not hate another for their opinion but that doesnt mean i wont give them my own opinion Jesus is lord you can choose to believe or not but mark my words when those trumpets blow you will bow.
Creed means promise. This song I created my own prison helps me to understand we create our own madness in this life.
@@drtroytrumanjenkins7173 agreed
Receiving Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation
Poopoo peepee
Amen❤
This song makes me sad but strong to walk and hold my head up high...
Sunday 8/17/2003 I was crossing the street when a driver in an SUV hit and ran over me. It’s a miracle I’m alive. 2 months later my husband suffered a grand mal seizure that left him brain dead. He died in April 2004. He had just turned 28 yrs old. Our daughter was 3 yrs old at the time. Sooo much more BS followed. This song was literally describing my life at that time
Scott Stapp writes amazing lyrics and Mark Tremonti is just absolutely incredible and an underrated guitarist to say the very least! People hated on this band because of the religous connotations but i for one think it's beautiful. ❤🙏
Gabriel stands n confirms.......good thing that " LION" roars in the darkness.......n now out
I'm so glad they are back on tour. Can't wait to see them live
this is a good song my uncle wanted me to listening to this song and it's amazing 😍💯
how did you listen to it? your thing says deaf girl?
I loved this song from the moment i ever heard it.. I think we've all felt like we're n our own prison some where n our lives..
It’s 2021, the earth is flat and infinite ♾. This song is timeless.
I first heard this song while doing time. I never thought I’d make it out.
Thank you God for giving us music and people who try to show others the truth...dont be deceived by all you see and hear thats what the devil wants creed wants to awaken you and show you how to break you spiritual chains
🥀🖤🥀AMAZING SONG🔥LYRICS ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BLOW YOUR MIND🔥I LOVE THIS SONG🥀🖤🥀🤘
This song reminds me of my life, I growing up alone as a child
The Lord Jesus Christ is the mighty Lion of Judah!!!! Please pray for me I need deliverance from demons!!!God bless

Beautiful song this!! Makes you think about the things in live you've done wrong. At least that is what i feel.. great lyrics and a great voice!
this is the best bands and music I have ever heard
I just learned this on guitar and with backing track it’s fun to play along. That is my creed
When he says SUN, that would be, SON. Thank you...
That makes so much sense. It is now my way of knowing this song.
This music will always be good❤️❤️
I’ve loved this since it came out. But now I know what it means. I’ve created my own prison
What a great band they are.
end stage liver disease ! diagnosis- no cure long line short supply for transplant and this song immediately came thru my mind ! goodbye cruel world
Did you make it?
This hits home big time. I think I understand all aspects of the song, except for “banging my head”.
I went though some very tough times in the early 2000. I had a beautiful dog and some music 🎶
Listen to this while walking
Peace ✌ ☮

Here it is July of 2018 and I'm still vibing to this classic! 🤙
This was produced when music was real
You mean music as a whole doesn't actually exist anymore? The song I am listening to is fake here? I had to have heard it when it was produced to hear the real version?
@@sinowsilver1349 well ain't you just a big bag of sunshine
Lol this is garbage. I literally came to listen to this to laugh at how rediculous it is
Okay Boomer
@13thHoneyBadger wrecked by west nile virus I have no idea what youre talking about?

Suffering leads to salvation
Man I miss the 90s so much. So damn much.

Thank you Caleb! Those little words that I hadn't heard at all or heard wrong...make all the difference 😂 perfect typeface for the content as well.
I want everyone seeing this a few years months weeks or days from 2021 to turn this song up remember that its never too late till it is....
During the late '90s, Creed emerged from a sea of post-grunge contenders to become one of the decade's biggest-selling rock bands. At a time when many other Seattle disciples were lapsing into inactivity or experimenting with less commercial sounds, Creed carried the torch of straightforward, grungy hard rock without apology -- and they were amply rewarded, selling millions upon millions of albums in just a few years' time. That success didn't translate into critical acclaim, however. Many reviewers slammed the band's music as derivative, and frontman Scott Stapp was a frequent, easy target for publications like Rolling Stone. Based on their frequently spiritual lyrics, some observers deemed Creed part of a new breed of alternative-styled Christian bands, an affiliation that Creed actively tried to downplay
Long time ago i just heard this song from my brother and i like this then now i found this omg im really happy for listen this legendary creep❤
