@@Eleven_Mayfield same
All of us is same fight keep up good work citizen soldier,you never disappointed us
Have you ever considered doing Patreon? I was going to back you, but I saw that you don't have one. I suspect many of us would happily support your endeavors, it is super super important!
@@kenburwood I agree and what about the song? I really would use my PayPal too to donate to him.
"I can't remember the last time I felt okay" I've been feeling really bummed out lately and when I catch myself smiling and/or laughing, it feels like a facade. Like I know it's only temporary before the sadness takes over again.
We hear you 🧡
Let everything out then...don't hide anything. Easier said then done yes but just let it all go and no worries.
I cant remember the last five years the went by like a haze i know why i miss some one i held dear but ill live for the others
Hey it gets better but it's different for everyone
Chin up keep going gang
"Am I dramatic or dying
I guess we'll see
.....
I'm not dramatic, I'm just sick"
Another great song, much love! ❤️
Definitely the two quotes that stick out to me as well.
We hear you 🧡
I love that line, it’s so deep
same here
“If you think it’s easy being me try living in my head for day and you’ll see” you never fail to amaze me Citizen Soldier!!!
Edit: Wow I have never gotten this many likes on a comment in my life
Glad to hear that Callie 🧡
Same here tbh
Same here
💯💯
Look in the mirror the same way you look at me. Probably paranoia.
"This is not a phase. I can't remember the last time I felt okay"
That line hit me in the gut. When I tried to talk to my parents about what I was going through I distinctly remember my dad saying "sounds like teenage angst to me." Even though that was years ago and I've been doing a lot better since then, it still really hurts to think about how my parents didn't believe me when I was at my worst.
Thank you guys for being my, as well as the rest of this community's support. You guys are constantly putting these experiences into words and giving a voice to those that couldn't find theirs. Thank you so much for your beautiful music 🧡🧡🧡
We hear you Liliana 🧡 You're not alone
Same over here.. My best friend got grounded for more 11 months ago and he chose the wrong time to leave because now that I'm 14 if I'm depressed or try to say that I have depression all they want to say is "oh it's just teenage depression it'll go away" even tho I've been crying for longer then I can remember.. at the age of 5 I've had depression and it's only got worse ever since then.. They want to say that "oh well its because you had different things and you weren't like normal 5 year old because you hit puberty at kindergarten and you had a implant to stop it so your not like normal little girls!"
@@DireNight_Drnt_ I feel you. I mean, I am a guy but the same thing happened to me. My dad tried controlling my life to the point where I got depressed and I wanted to kill myself. I don't tell many this story but i feel I can relate to you. I am 17 years old now, and finally free. And it has left me time to reflect on my past and wonder how much of it was truly a "phase"
@@alphaphoenix5560 thanks. And I hope that everything turns out better for you!.
I hope you're now doing better, don't give up ^-^
One word to describe this song is surprising, how it picked up every time was surprising in a great way, and seeing the video accompanying it too just makes this so much better, short and very sweet!
Happy to hear that 🧡
Agreed
Citizen Soldier, thank you. Your band's name suits your music well: you help us remind that we are all warriors fighting for a better day and that we are not alone. You are the voice to the screams we silence thinking no one cares, just reminding us we are all humans fighting our own demons.. we all have scars we try to hide and monsters inside our heads. Thank you for making this fight a little easier to bear
Much love Fernanda 🧡
This slaps! Ahh this band is just underrated and i think it deserves alot more love! Literally Citizen Soldier became one of my comfort bands👊🏻 love from italy!
Appreciate that 🧡
Mine too!
Ikr I just feel like am not alone when I listen to their songs 🥰
Underrated? They make songs about suicide and depression rather than making the lyrics more about recovery and growing stronger. They mention things like wanting to "pull the trigger" and end their life, like why? Some people trigger BAD to things like that, and every single song is the same exact thing!
@@ZophiMichaels actually if you listen to all the songs not all of them say that some of them are telling you not to do it and they're still hope
"If you want to know why I hide my hurt,
Listen to what I say when I am at my worse."
I wasn't expecting to cry today.
Every single lyric of this hit hard.
This had me out of breath on the floor crying in relief bc now I know I'm not alone. 🥺🥰
Glad the music helps Grace 🧡
You're definitely not alone Grace! We are stronger together!!
If you need anyone to talk with, feel free to ping me. I'm out on short term disability for another three weeks, still recovering from a breakdown last spring. So, I have time if you need an understanding peer to speak with.
I'm not a trained therapist, just someone going through this and wanting to help, I don't wish on anyone to go through what we do alone.
Thinking about where I'd be if I didn't have my own support system terrifies me, I still got to this point WITH all the support that I have, because I still held it in 75% of the time for so long. I didn't want it to always be about the negatives! But as my sisters told me multiple times, I held it in too much, even if they'd heard it before.
@@kenburwood I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to as well. You're not alone either, Ken.
@@gracechance163 Haha, now I realize that I'd have to figure out how to actually follow through on the offer!
Obviously no sharing phone number on the net, that's just weird and dangerous!
Hmmm... Well, we're on RUclips, so we have gmail addresses... And Google chats... Which can also do video (only if comfortable of course... Always have to be careful with randos on the net until everything seems legit).
So... Google Chat would probably be the route!
I'm totally up for chatting this week sometime, if you'd like. Can share stories about what we've experienced while first listening to Citizen Soldier music--I just finished listening to all their albums for the first time last night!
Within one week of discovering them, they are now my all-time favorite band, and I've never chosen one of those before--I've always been the "I have several favorite bands, I like them all!" type. But Citizen Soldier more than deserve that place in my heart!! They are true heroes!
"If you wanna know why I always hide what hurts, listen to what you say when I'm at my worst."
Very interesting choice of style. Definitely one of the most relatable songs by you so far.
Glad to hear that 🧡
Yet again, just like Run Away i can relate to these two songs the most out of them all, and they're beautiful just like every other song. Thank you, seriously.
Love to hear that 🧡
Bedroom ceiling is the one of the top of my head that I relate to tho like 90% of them are great imo
I needed this today...
People ask if I'm okay and I lie that I am because I know they won't understand. And when I finally tell someone they say that I should think of everything I'm thankful for because someone out there wishes they had those things. And I think "So I'm not allowed to be upset about anything because someone out there has it worse? You wouldn't last ONE day as me..."
Well said 🧡
Should I cry or laugh, cause it's too real! Oh hell no, you really wrote a new anthem for so many people. Some people cannot accept that the pain in some persons are still there and hurting this people again and again. It's a progress to overcome of your misery, but you cannot, when you experience the hell every day! Thank you so much for this song, you are the best! 🖤🙏
Appreciate that Leon 🧡
"its not a trend, its not a trick, I'm not dramatic I'm just sick" YES! Those lines! like you're discribe it in the shorts, this line specially is for people who say " get over it, its not thaat bad youre so dramatic" Its an illness that we try to handle it. Sometimes there are good days, somtetimes bad days.
Thank you for helping people to sing out loud what a lot of people think but can't realley discribe or say it out loud.❤️🩹
Much love Julia 🧡
Yes. Its a sickness. It is hard to handle. We have different ways of coping\dealing with it. Some ways are toxic to it. And a lot of ppl can't understand that.
If only we could get them to live one day, or even a couple hours, in our head they would finally understand what it's like. Keep up the amazing work
Thanks Evelyn 🧡
Even one second in our heads and they would wanna run just like we do they could never live with what we live with everyday 🥲💔❤️🩹😩😭
Never underestimate what someone might be going through. Trying to understand is already worth so much compared to dismissing it!
@@11wildy63 in my personal case, they just didn't believe it or flat out told me it was all my fault. It may be mean and selfish of me but they're having a hard time and I'm honestly not feeling all that bad about it. The innocent ones caught up in the situations I try to help but the others I'll just watch karma do its thing
I think some of them might can't survive in it longer than we are...
I've now listened to this song on repeat ever since it dropped, I'm loving it SO much! And as usual, your timing is impeccable. I don't even have to fear falling down the dreaded sinkhole in my head anymore, because everytime I begin to slip in you guys throw out a new song like a lifeline and pull me right out of it. Appreciate you guys so much, thank you for being our saviours!
Much love to you 🧡
"Live in my head for a day and you'll see... no." I love that.
Thanks Grace 🧡
I love all the songs y’all have made but this is definitely one of my favorites. Thank y’all. 😊
Much love Hailey 🧡
This is how I’m feeling right now, I don’t sleep well cause I have Anxiety and ADHD and my family doesn’t help with that…. Thanks for another amazing song!
We hear you Aubrie 🧡
I’m so happy this song was released I haven’t been able to sleep for days and this might be the only reason I’m gonna be able to fall asleep tonight I love your music-Aryia
Hope you get some sleep 🧡
I can't remember the last time I felt okay .. that's exactly how i feel😅 Thank u Citizen soldier u guys always describe the things that i can't say 🥺♥️
Much love 🧡
**Trigger Warning**
I’ve been struggling for about 12 years with PTSD and depression after experiencing this one event.
I tried to help him, and I really wish you guys were around back then as your music might have prevented him from leaving this world, and then I wouldn’t be so messed up as well.
At the age of 14 I lost one of my best friends (who lived across the country) to suicide. Unfortunately for me I got to watch him do it live on a video call. His last words to me still haunt me to this day, “you’ll forget about me soon enough.”
I’ll spare you all the other gruesome details, as I don’t think this is the right forum for it. Obviously I have not forgotten about him, and I doubt I ever will.
I don’t know anyone who understands what goes on in my head, let alone someone who could even handle those kind of thoughts.
sorry for your loss you shouldnt have to go thru that and i lost a cousin to suicide he shot himself as a teenager
"Am I dramatic or dying I guess we'll see"- Man, I felt that line.
My “phase” has lasted 18 years so far. People still struggle to understand. Thank you for the beautiful music again. Youse guys are amazing!
Queer? I was really hoping this song would be just that
We hear you 🧡
honestly understandable everyones phase is different the closest person to us could be going through a fight for there lifes
I hope people see you're in pain
I feel this. Been about 5 years since I came out to my parents, they're still processing. Though, they are just starting to understand. My problem is that they don't understand how people just do that. Which is kinda fair. Didn't mean to rant, just wanted to tell ya that I'm here with ya.
Can we just appreciate the visual artists for their music videos. The art and movement of these videos are amazing, giving the song the correct feel with the lyrics.
I tend to be more on the quiet side, but this definitely hits for me. Thanks for the awesome music and always speaking up for the quiet ones (like me). This resonates a lot!
In every song I see you know what you're talking about. You definitely help so many people. The lyrics? That makes totally sense.
"If you wanna know why I always hide what hurts, listen to what you say when I'm at my worst."
This songs hits me to the core, I haven't been feeling ok since I was a kid, I'm 33 now turning 34. I don't know when it went all south for me, I just try to keep my head up but on most days it's just hard to do cause I know by the end of the day I'll feel that same empty ness inside of me
" I can't remember the last time I felt ok" that hit me hard this whole song is how i feel. Love it 💗 at last someone understands me! Thanks
Yet another beautiful masterpiece, that’s so powerful. Thank you for giving us a way to express what we don’t have words for🤍
Appreciate you Elizabeth 🧡
I remember staying alive to hear the end of this is your sign and I guess now I just have to stay alive to hear the end of this album too. I relate to your songs a lot. Thank you for everything you do.
We hear you 🧡
Your songs are the unspoken words I wanna say to my parents that refuse to believe I might have something wrong with me and/or refuse to let me have a label that will make my life easier
Never clicked faster (literally clicked 30seconds after it was posted)
You've done it again! You've made another song that I needed today :')
I just wanted to thank you guys for convincing me that I needed help and now I'm receiving the help I needed, thank you so much! Your songs will always have something in my heart that not even words can describe how grateful I am for it
Appreciate you 🧡
Safe to say that your songs saved my life several times... So i'd like to thank you guys. Without you I don't think i'd be around anymore.
Much love 🧡
You should have at least a million subscribers because at least that many people need to hear your raw, real, encouraging (at least) music! Keep up the good work! We are never alone. Thank you for helping me get through the hardest time of my life (in 2020) where I lost everything and felt so alone and wanted to end my life, but you guys helped me keep going.
Yes ur never alone don't ever forget that
"Will they kill me before you can ever learn?". Citizen Soldier, your song have got me through certain times but I'll never understand how you create the literal perfect lyrics! I love your music!!! Thank you, as right now, it's one of those times in my life
I'm loving these songs. Hits so close ever since I lost that one special someone. I'm so happy this exists
Thank you
I love RUclips for this, because literally everytime I need to hear something that describes the way I feel a new song comes out and makes me feel understood...
🧡
The lyrics, the rhythm, the beat. Everything is just incredible from the beginning and only gets better throughout. Absolutely loving it already 😍 hats off to you again 👏
Love to hear that 🧡
Beautiful song
🧡
Note to myself…. “Dear self, sorry for always breaking you for others!” Another impactful song that speaks from the heart ❤️
I genuinely feel the lyrics tho how many times I get told it's so easy being me whenever I have any issues is unreal and that it's a lie
This song is amazing, never failing us
“This is not a phase I can’t remember the last time I felt ok” that bit I relate to so much
Every song you guys make helps so many people daily, and that is goal that reminds that there are still good people in the darkness.
I never thought I could actually say I have a favorite band, but I was wrong, citizen soilder is absolutely my favorite band! All of your music is amazing! This song speaks to me so loudly! Thank you guys!
“Look in the mirror the same way you look at me” the song just started playing and I already got chills of how deep it is another great hit
🧡
Wonderful music video! I love when a lot is going on but it still ties in with the song's story.
This song definitely reminds me of when I was a few years younger. No one was quite aware of how severe my dark thoughts were and even when I wanted to tell those close to me, I was so scared of "infecting" them with it that I often stayed silent until I couldn't anymore.
"Am I dramatic or dying I guess we'll see" MAN THAT LINE HITS HARD!
Definitely one of my favourite songs that you have released ❤️ this and Let Me Let Go ❤️
Glad to hear that Helen 🧡
Just quit my job, but this made my day ♥️ You guys are always when I need some chicken soup for my soul
Good luck Alexis 🧡
"if you wanna know why I always hide what hurts, listen to what you say when I'm at my worst"
this. this is the best way to say it. if they ever wonder why they weren't a bright spot in my darkest hour with them, this is what I'd say
Keep up the great work. Stumbled upon the group randomly via Pandora. "I'm not okay" hit me like a truck. I kept restarting the song the first time I heard it. Been listening to your mix while at the gym. Puts me in my feels but help me push even harder. Thank you for all you've done.
''It's a phase'' they love to say.
I was around 14 when I started to feel... different. And in a bad way. I tried to ignore it but it didn't work.
Two years fast forward, I was told it was depression... but depression is just a phase and will go away when I ''grow up''. They, of course, never specified when this ''grow up'' was.
I'm almost 20 now. I did things I am not proud of and had no help through the whole thing because once I had a proof it was serious, I was just ''dramatic''. No one bothers with ''attention seeker''.
I'm almost 20 but happily can say I'm healing. I'm not there yet, but hey - what's a goal without its journey, right?
Glad to hear you're on your journey 🧡 Much love Sara
I am loving this new sound from Citizen Soldier
Good to hear that 🧡
Thank you for what you do it's amazing my husband had a stroke about 2 years ago and I am disabled and have a mental disorder your songs have gotten me through a lot of rough days thank you so much keep it up
45 seconds in and I love it, feels like some of these lyrics feels like a fit. Sometimes I feel locked inside fed up with it, deal with the repetition of failure day by day always wanna quit put a smile on my face act okay like my life's a skit. Sometimes I feel so much like sh, I rarely come up and if I do it's barely a bit. I like your songs keep going they're pretty lit!!
Much love Greg 🧡
Oh I love this 🖤
Amazing as always guys! Lotsa love from the UK 🖤
Much love to the UK 🧡
Agreed, much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Well I just found a new favourite band for sure, had never heard a single song before. Then I found one while searching for songs so describe my feelings, and now I'm hooked, so many songs describing stuff I've felt for so many years. It's amazing ❤️
I can't sto crying.... "I'm not dra,atic, I'm just sick" "I can't remember the last time I felt okay" "If you think it’s easy being me try living in my head for day and you’ll see" this are phase that hurt but even phase that the other have to listen
Another song that hit my heart ❤❤
🧡
Heavy hitting song as always. Its always hard when people tell you to get over it, or its just a phase. Almost no one believes you when you say it isn't. Thank you for the amazing song.
Well said 🧡
This Group of Artists is so amazing they don't have one song that I can take away and the pieces being put back together. Citizen Soldier your lyrics help so much. Thank you for every song, sweat and hard work you will forever be one of my top favorites
Appreciate those words Brandi 🧡
New day, new favourite song.
As Always thank you Citizen soldier, your music Is helping me through one of my most difficult moment of my life 🧡
Glad the music helps 🧡
I love you guys! Hands down, fav band💜🧡

This song deserves more credit.
When I was a young adult, I dealt with severe depression and C-PTSD due to my abusive parents. After a decade of treatment, being hospitalized multiple times (some of which only happened because it was a form of control and abuse my parents employed), and spending my young adulthold on disability, I can (finally) say I have landed on my feet. My life is far from perfect, but I AM HAPPY.
I still identify so much with this music. Sometimes, when I look back on what I went through, I struggle to remember or describe what it felt like. Citizen Soldier is the one band that has perfectly embodied the feelings I lived and toiled with for so long. I so wish it had been around when I was going through my darkest days, but somehow, I appreciate it just as much today. That someone has said what I felt for so long and turned it into fire music is incredible, and seeing how so many can relate to it makes me feel much less alone in my story.
Thank you so much for showing and reminding me just how far I've come. It felt impossible at the time, but I am SO GLAD I stuck it out!
I love TIYS Part II, but I feel like EVER SONG in this album so far has had lyrics that just hit so hard. Like, this is the album that explains how I feel.
Glad to hear that Penina 🧡
You have really been helping me lately. I went through, well what my parents call a phase, a time before. I come back every time I get this way. I have been losing so much sleep.
I’m glad you hear us. 🧡
So glad I’ve come as far as I have. This reflects so much of what I’ve been through. Healing is possible. It’s hard and it hurts but it’s worth it.
Absolutely amazing thank you for the song its been a rough night
Hope your night gets better 🧡
Amazing song as always. You guys are officially one of the best bands I’ve heard
Appreciate that Mohammed 🧡
It's a little unsettling how well this band articulates what's in my(our?) head/s, when it's so hard for me/us to do it ourselves.
It's like this band is in our heads...or maybe it's because there's a shared skeleton in the closet that we all have...
You're not alone in this 🧡
@@CitizenSoldier thank you 💜
"I don't remember the last time I was ok" this line represents my life
Even when we have understanding family, friends, and even work, who all try their best (maybe with occasionally misunderstands, from both me and them, but we're all human), the ENTIRE first verse is still relevant... When talking to myself. That opening verse also perfectly represents the constant battle within myself. I still don't understand myself, even when I understand myself...
Powerful in multiple scenarios. Thank you Jake and Citizen Soldier!
Much love Ken 🧡 Glad the music helps
I found this band this year and it's helped with every single emotion
Glad you found us 🧡
My day just got alot better, been waiting in anticipation all day for this to drop. Thank you guys! Keep up the amazing work.
Much love Shannon 🧡
This song needed to be longer. Loved it gents, as always
Just the other day I had a talk with my mother about my past issues and problems i had to face and things just keep getting worse. I try every day to look into the mirror and keep seeing the old me instead of the new me. In financial (money) issues and its getting to the point where on my own that i am not sure if i can keep staying where im at. Its put such a huge disappointment on me that i dont know what I can do next to fix this, life just seems like its a phase i keep telling myself its not but... to be honest what else can i do to keep going strong and finding the way to fix these issues im having.. I keep seeing myself in the mirror from like 2016 and its not healthy cause i was starving myself back then and i got really skinny but shot back up after i broke up with my boyfriend. I still am trying to fix things i dont understand. So thank you. Citizen Soldier. You made this song and it made me feel all of those emotions in the back of my head where they can be locked away where I do believe i can fix these issues one by one and not all at once. I live within your music cause your music speaks to me. and im sure others can feel the same We love you 🧡❤
Much love lads 🖤🖤
First! 🧡
Amazing song as always 👌 keep up the amazing work! 🧡
Will do 🧡
I lost my father a few months ago, sadness hits and anxiety attacks, but these songs lift us up. Let's live
This song hits way to close to home. And I think this is one of my favourites now

I love all your songs so far, thank you so much for making such masterpieces 💜💜
Glad to hear that 🧡
Love your music

There is always someone willing to listen. Just because some of us cannot relate, empathy does exist. You are not abnormal. Love exists.❤
This song perfectly encapsulate the feeling of trying to explain what you're going through with those who don't understand or does not want to believe it.
I love your music I reached out to you on Facebook Asking when autobiography is coming out, I Listen to your music because you inspire me to write songs of my own and I feel like you Make a BIG! change to this world so thank you for what you do not only to the community you and your band have built but for the structure you have built!

I really love this song cause not only is it talking about depression but anything else that people think you can just magically make it go away
