This song was written by an army soldier. He felt like what he did was wrong, so he wrote this for a person who would turn it into an actual song with the true intent behind it. This is what the result is. It isn’t written by a hero. Or a villain. It was written by a man who felt what he did was wrong but wanted to do write by admitting something when he didn’t have to. Please truly appreciate whoever wrote and published this. My dad was in the army. He knows about things like this. Those of you who truly understand this song, thank you. This song is meant to be sad and truthful and meaningful. Take it as such. Thank you.
Now, that i know, what is behind the songs, i have completly different thoughts about it... And i would say that no soldier is an hero. Which doesn't mean they are bad peoples. They are spposed to listen to orders, even if these are wrong, so they have not much choice. Edit: aaand i'm sry, if ya don't get what i mean, i am not really good with words. Tho something like this isn't even something ya can easily find words for either.
Hey guys. It’s not that I understand it. It’s that I have multiple family members who went through this, I’ve WATCHED them go through this. I can feel and read them, and... it’s not the best. But I’m glad I could help you understand. P.S. I’m a girl, I just cosplay as guys more because I act like guys more than the girls-
@@devil.4902 well... I don't know, how the soldiers feel with that either, i just understand if they aren't happy to do something like this, cause no normal person should be happy to kill... P.S. So ya are either an tomboy or crossdressing tomboy?
For all of those that are hating on people for saying they relate to the song or hating on people who use it for pmvs/amvs/animations/etc please remember this: while yes the song has an original meaning, you can always interpret songs differently and NO ONE gets hurt whatsoever when you do. I'd recommend just letting people interpret the song they want to since no one is getting hurt.
This sounds like the perfect song for a fallen hero or someone who saw themselves as a good person until something made them realized that they were much more darker than they originally thought but it's too late for them now. They just stand there and sort of embrace this thing that they have become, not a hero but not quite the villain or a monster. Is it strange that I relate to this song? Edit: Okay, I would just like to say thank you so much for the likes. This is actually the first time I've gotten so many. And thank you for the heart. Sorry for being late. It really warms my heart to see so many people agree or even relate to what I wrote. Makes me feel a little less alone. I kinda slipped a little bit of my own feelings in there. But, I would also like to apologize to anyone and everyone I may have offended by writing this comment. When I wrote this I wasn't aware that the song was about veterans. I'm sorry.
Wow listening to this seeing what u put and my past experiences with this song while listening and the ppl ik who were big into this and always blasted it made me tear up some.... god bless your dad and I send good healing vibes your way for this time your all going through
@@breannayearwood8974 So, fighting in Nations that don't want you, for your pseudo-imperialism is serving your country? Because that's old good american bullshit, many of them wouldn't even had to die if they stayed at home, you have accomplished anything in those countries if not destabilizing them more and more and get Western world to be hated by them. Btw what I meant is that you don't know how shit a person is, just knowing that It died in war doesn't make it a hero, maybe he killed for fun, raped and robbed. That's because I said "fallen yes, heroes maybe"
To all the forgotten heroes, the unseen martyrs, and those who have given their lives, thank you. You continue to inspire me with your valiant and selfless sacrifices.
Ryan, thank you. I am a wounded vet. I have obviously not given my life, but have left a part of my body back in the army. I and others like me have sworn a sacred oath to defend with life and limb. I kept the latter. Others - hero's of a greater god - have been called on to keep the former. I thank you for your appreciation and bow my head in humble gratitude to my brothers-in-arms who have been called upon to keep the former.
@ Yacan Son of Israel Wrong place. If you have a problem, take it somewhere else. Nobody here give a fuck. I am going to join the military to SERVE MY COUNTRY and NOT to get free shit!
I'm so scared that my own dad may one day get to the point of insanity and depression. He's been a veteran for three months now and since then he's become a completely different person. I love you, dad... you know I do.
The only thing you Can do is learn who he is now after his tours or his time in the service. He's also going through the same thing you are. If he's out of the service try to share more time with him if you can. Build, or break projects. If he isn't using liquor to cope an you aren't underage share a few beers with him. You'll learn more about the new him that way and doing these things might help him bring back some of the older version of who he was. If he was in the "sh*t" for awhile he had to remain and program into a whole different person almost to function fully. It takes time and it sucks but he'll see the effort you and your family is going to help him reacclimate to non-military life again. When you need more advice seek out some from help groups in this field or other vets that might be in the family or family friends that can help. Good luck Annie.

@@dragonsword7370 Thank you, sir/ma'am! I feel like I needed this. I actually am underaged, but where I come from teenagers drink with their parents every now and then. We've had long night conversations around a glass of beer about his struggles and worries. He's doing his best and I'm so extremely proud of him, his efforts. He's 36, relatively young to have teenage kids, but he's coping with our adolescence just fine. My sister and I always make sure we give him hugs and kisses in the morning, during the day and before bedtime. This technique has been quite comforting and relaxing for him. See, he's a military doctor, so on the battlefield they put doubled responsibilities on his shoulders: fight and cure. The stories about amputated joints tossed all over the place, dead bodies instead of soldiers forever asleep in those bunker-beds... He had too much and we're absolutely aware of that. My fam is strong, I believe in us. If my parents were able to get me here from Greece at the age 22 and then make a living in a border-village before settling down in the city, they can handle this too.
My father was in the military and sailed oversees for 5 years and he refuses to talk about it. The only thing he tells me is "Im never sure how I fell about my choices, but it was for the best." And this song just makes me feel so much pain for him and I wish I could make it easier for him
Whenever I cross paths with a man or woman that served or serves in the military,I show them the utmost respect!!! They have earned it! And GOD BLESS the soldiers that dont make it back!!
I spent many years standing on the line, could have easily went either way.. Today, it's easier, but, it's still a constant struggle... PSTD is a bitch..... Please, if you know anyone facing these hardships, help them before it's too late.... I lost three brothers to suicide...can't loose anymore....
Been in a lot of toxic relationships. I've never been too proud to admit my faults, that doesn't always mean I can fix them. I lost those I loved and watched a life I built fall apart around me. This song takes me back down that road and makes me recall everything.
I hope you managed to make sense of it and escape the wrong side of heaven. I've eroded my wonderful relation with my angel taking wrong decisions for some time now, so that felling is perfectly described by this song. While not exactly the same situation, when realizing the mistakes and (more important) why we took them, the burden fells like being in the title of this song. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Make sure you put yourself along with your loved ones on first place - always.
A song that perfectly describes the feeling of doing good, but at the same time doing evil, being given choices that all have a shitty outcome, but benefits the long run, it hits different
Some people will never understand why people listen to heavy metal because people just hear screams and nothing else but once you sit down and read the lyrics you will fall in love with heavy metal
I’ll never understand what soldiers go through, or what veterans had gone through. I do understand this though. They did it for us. They did it because they care about us. And for that, I do nothing but thank you, American Soldiers..
First of all know that there is now ill intent here, I just wanted to give you a heads up. It would be better if you said "thank you to the American Armed Forces" Because Army are soldiers, Marines are Marines, Airforce are Airmen, Navy are Sailors, Coast Guard are Guardsmen, and Space Force are Guardians. Have a nice day!!
Rabb Young I feel you. The Fucken government sucks! How is it we can send them to war and when they come back and they don’t give a fuck what they have been Thur!! We are drowning and they don’t see it!!!
One day I heard the lyric 'I spoke to God today,' my mom came to mind...then I flipped Devil to Dads voice, and it changed the meaning for me........that is what I like about music, means different things to different people....
My brother died 9 years ago at age 35 and i wish i can trade places with him. Its going to be a bumpy road losing a sibling that you was really close. This song is a perfect song to those who feel life is not worth it yet it is. I recommend for you to listen to: let me be myself by 3 doors down. Perfect song aswell.
My 11 yr old son came to me and told me to listen to this song. He is such a brilliant creation! He has a long line of military roots running wildly through his heart. He is not about war rather should I say (correctly) he doesn't promote the act of warfare. But, he is without a doubt a young growing lil man whom I am beyond grateful to have as my son💯💙💖!. Cree, I love you forever and always💞
How anyone could actually sit and listen to this and not feel it I will never know. FFDP are simply amazing not only with there music but the lyrics are always relatable in many ways..thank u to anyone who serves and god bless everyone.
Tina, thank you. I served. I sacrificed. I am a wounded vet. I thank you for your appreciation and what you write about FFDP is dead on. I can relate to every drop of this video.

This song reminds me of my dad he died 2 years ago in service I love him so much he a hero who didn't believe in himself when he should have he did so much for this country he fought and died for are freedom I will never forget that and will always love and cherish the 13 great year we had together RIP daddy I love u
Some have been forced pushed further than most. And when that darkness is released. Your fighting for your life. Sane. Not sane. Survive lose it all.. How is this being alive when your full of hell.
I'm not military but 5 years as a Security Contractor and now 3 years as Correctional Officer. A buddy of mine introduced me to FFDP 4 years ago when I was working a FEMA contract after Hurricane Michael and since coming back to the Department this song hits hard for me being that I'm constantly fighting with anxiety, depression, chronic-anger, insomnia and Epilepsy. To all those who are standing and have stood on the Line over-seas and on the homfront: Your service and sacrifice can never truly be thanked in words alone but it's a start in the right direction and YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
I am a closet metal head. This song took me to places I didn't know existed. I watched my father waste away at 47 years of age. He served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He was never the same. He started experiencing signs of dementia at such a young age. The Doctor at the Veterans hospital said he was probably exposed to something during the Vietnam War, however they did very little to help my precious father. Sadly he passed away.
We - modern humans - are very fragile from the mental point of view, so exposure or not to physical external chemicals, the same results are possible when considering the impact of mental toll he took when he was in wars. Most of them never talk about the atrocities they witness simply because their subconscious chooses to avoid voluntary remembering of those things - thus avoiding the pain. The war changes your perspectives upon life and society, it strips away all the fancy artefacts of modern society. It makes you wonder why we're doing all the things we're doing and you cannot accept anymore any of the bullshit you see around you when you're returning home (which I estimate ~80%-95% of everyday activity). That's true for all the people fighting to DEFEND their own country (that means their country got attacked and they are on their soil, defending). When being the attacker (regardless of your initial beliefs and propaganda you've been subject to - which will fade very fast when experiencing war), raise everything above to the power (2, 3, 4... depending on each person). The impact of our own body chemicals and hormones can cause very easily a mental illness of all range: schizophrenia, dementia, Alzheimer, anxiety disorder, borderline, depression - most often being hidden under alcohol or substance abuse and thus - being attributed to. May he rest in peace.
This song always makes me tear up. It reminds me of my struggles with mental health and with my identity. " Arms wide open, I stand alone " I always imagine my family surrounding me, glaring at me in disappointment as I break down and hold my arms out, begging someone to just hug me, to comfort me.
Been having self worth issues. Reach out only to get shit on, then you realize those that were there are just words. It's hard ya know. Going from a circle of friends and family that do anything to having yourself. And when yourself is in a dark deep pit it's hard to crawl out on your own. I know not one person can fix my issues but one person could help, just by being there.
This song feels like the story of mankind. From nearly any religious stand point. We all feel our sins have condemned us to hell, but that our good deeds pulls us to heaven. Eventually we accept the fact we don't know where we are going and just live day to day. To bad for heaven. Not bad enough for hell.
Their is so many people who listened to this video and haven’t seen the “video” of this song and keep guessing it’s about soldiers and veterans. Your right
Life is worth so much more! We are all here for a reason and we're supposed to be here. I've had a lot of trauma in my life and I've struggled but I know that my life is worth something and My life effects other people. Good luck man and God Bless!
YES! One of the best/quickest ways to save those who want to or have thoughts of suicide that don't talk about it is though music.. How else could one possibly save another without knowing they're in trouble? Through deep music that's so many can relate to.. I've been saying this for years.. I highly recommend the song Natural Born Sinner by In This Moment
One of Kenedi’s brothers talking/typing and I mean I really like this song. Plus the guitarist is extremely fantastic! I like all the words also. But that guitar solo is fascinatingly good! All props go’s to that guitarist.
So powerful and meaningful i live with scars you can see and scars you cant see and no matter how hard i try im always on the wrong side of heaven and the rightous side of hell
This song has represented how I've felt this whole two months . I had an argument with a buddy of mine and just without him I've fallen farther from myself than ever
I know how you feel about these things my guy.... I've has similar things happen I may not have had the exact same thing happen but I have had similar so I know how you feel.... I've lost to many good friends due to my own stupidity and I highly regret it. Not saying it's your fault but most of my experiences have been my fault most of the time and I wish I wasn't so stupid to do what I did.
Cannot stop listening. Ive got always goosebumps. I love your voice and song is absolutely amazing 🤘🤘🤘 I'm not hero and Im not made of the stone.. true
I'm a former soldier n this song truly speaks to me. Every soldier goes through these feelings at some point in their lives. Mine came after I came home for the final time after my service was done
Thank you, Jay, for your service. I served for a different country (Israel), in a different army (the IDF) and I can relate to every drop of this song. To be fair, I also was wounded in the line of duty.
Nothing about the military or death, but this song takes me back to better times that my mindset made into bad times. Won't ever get any time like that again, and I regret wasting it and looking into the black instead of seeing what great happiness was actually right there in front of me. I'm literally picturing a specific moment in time very clearly that should've appreciated.
This hurts in many ways from where I stand remembering basic before being discharged. So many of my friends came back and they were so different. I guess this song embodies how they felt.
My dad first introduced me to this song back in 2013 i believe. And i just fall in love with this song.It has a very important message to it and thats what made me love it.
To everyone who has lost someone and whoever chooses to read this I am truly very sorry for your loss but good news is one day you will meet them again
I listen to this song with my dad all the time, I love it and he’s a retired vet. I never really understood the song before, I didn’t know it was written by a vet, but I started writing a couple characters that are formerly veteran or in the case of one, a run away agent and they made me realize the songs meaning because I could now see how this was how they saw themselves.
This song was written by an army soldier. He felt like what he did was wrong, so he wrote this for a person who would turn it into an actual song with the true intent behind it. This is what the result is. It isn’t written by a hero. Or a villain. It was written by a man who felt what he did was wrong but wanted to do write by admitting something when he didn’t have to.

Absolutely , different times in life, songs gain different meanings , even to the same person.
Totally agree with you, people should be able to interpret music in their own ways.
This is so true my friend.
This sounds like the perfect song for a fallen hero or someone who saw themselves as a good person until something made them realized that they were much more darker than they originally thought but it's too late for them now. They just stand there and sort of embrace this thing that they have become, not a hero but not quite the villain or a monster.

I don’t know why, but this… it hit me deep
@@develsixteen-fk3yq happens to ma on a daily basis with the life I have
My father was in the military and sailed oversees for 5 years and he refuses to talk about it. The only thing he tells me is "Im never sure how I fell about my choices, but it was for the best." And this song just makes me feel so much pain for him and I wish I could make it easier for him
This song hits me hard, it was the last song me and my big brother listened too before he committed suicide on Christmas of 2021.
Sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that bro
I'm sorry for your loss.. 🙏
💙💙
Sorry dear....Time heals. Jesus healed all my pain & wiped away all pain...Now I'm 50 but stepping into a Hope filled future in Christ 🙏
Badass song... Almost makes me want to cry... Hats off to those who serve and sacrifice for my country...
Right On brother
Man to song is to great 1😥😥😥😥😥😥
🇭🇷
Amen
Whenever I cross paths with a man or woman that served or serves in the military,I show them the utmost respect!!! They have earned it! And GOD BLESS the soldiers that dont make it back!!
These guys are the best . You can hear what they are singing and they are great . So powerful.

Very fucking good!!!!!!
💋🐾👅
Definitely are! ❤️💯🤟
I spent many years standing on the line, could have easily went either way..
Today, it's easier, but, it's still a constant struggle...
PSTD is a bitch.....
Please, if you know anyone facing these hardships, help them before it's too late....
I lost three brothers to suicide...can't loose anymore....
I use meditation to help with my PTSD from the service.
You can get through…❤️❤️❤️
I'm someone who's served for a long time my brother. I will say PTSD never gets easier but you can get through it..God bless you my man.
This song gives me more tingles than an ASMR video
Blasting this song at full volume on an aftermarket sound system in a truck hits different. Makes it like being at a concert
Been in a lot of toxic relationships. I've never been too proud to admit my faults, that doesn't always mean I can fix them. I lost those I loved and watched a life I built fall apart around me. This song takes me back down that road and makes me recall everything.
u ok? Ik it’s been 4 months since u posted this but I saw u comment something on a few videos now.
FWYH
Dude, you sound exactly like me
I hope you managed to make sense of it and escape the wrong side of heaven.
I've eroded my wonderful relation with my angel taking wrong decisions for some time now, so that felling is perfectly described by this song. While not exactly the same situation, when realizing the mistakes and (more important) why we took them, the burden fells like being in the title of this song.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Make sure you put yourself along with your loved ones on first place - always.
There is nothing to be forgiven. One day you are the hero, the next the villain. You do your best. Sometimes your worst is whats needed.
💯 well said.
A song that perfectly describes the feeling of doing good, but at the same time doing evil, being given choices that all have a shitty outcome, but benefits the long run, it hits different
Some people will never understand why people listen to heavy metal because people just hear screams and nothing else but once you sit down and read the lyrics you will fall in love with heavy metal
I’ll never understand what soldiers go through, or what veterans had gone through. I do understand this though. They did it for us. They did it because they care about us. And for that, I do nothing but thank you, American Soldiers..
Too bad the guys in charge keep sending them to do pointless stuff that helps no one and just lines the pockets of oil barons and weapons dealers.
First of all know that there is now ill intent here, I just wanted to give you a heads up. It would be better if you said "thank you to the American Armed Forces" Because Army are soldiers, Marines are Marines, Airforce are Airmen, Navy are Sailors, Coast Guard are Guardsmen, and Space Force are Guardians. Have a nice day!!

This is arguably the most emotional rock song ever.
Haha grub hub ad
Fade to Black by Metallica
Also "Never too late" by Three Days Grace
@@Solo-fb4qu One of my fav songs ever. So emotional.
@@Solo-fb4qu have u heard fallen angel by three days grace
One day I heard the lyric 'I spoke to God today,' my mom came to mind...then I flipped Devil to Dads voice, and it changed the meaning for me........that is what I like about music, means different things to different people....
My dad has a patch on his old leather jacket. It says " Old soldiers don't die, we just go to hell to regroup " and this song reminds me of that patch
... is it bad i laughed at the patch-?

my late step brother and I had a contest when I was 13 to see who knew all the words, we tied. I’m 18 now and still know all the words :,)
Britt K people didn’t respond to this when it should have more appreciation lmao, that’s lovely:)
@@beccablack2284 there is only like 10 lyrics in this whole song so it shouldn't be too hard.

Halo3lucas yes she did lmfao
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven!!! My brother should be here instead he died at 31. I'd trade places with him in a heartbeat
Rip your brother. I hoped he lived a hell of a good life
My brother died 9 years ago at age 35 and i wish i can trade places with him. Its going to be a bumpy road losing a sibling that you was really close. This song is a perfect song to those who feel life is not worth it yet it is. I recommend for you to listen to: let me be myself by 3 doors down. Perfect song aswell.

My 11 yr old son came to me and told me to listen to this song. He is such a brilliant creation! He has a long line of military roots running wildly through his heart. He is not about war rather should I say (correctly) he doesn't promote the act of warfare. But, he is without a doubt a young growing lil man whom I am beyond grateful to have as my son💯💙💖!. Cree, I love you forever and always💞
Imagine if the song was called 'Righteous Side of Hell' instead.
I imagined it........ now what.
Why??
Sara if u meant because the hell that these soldiers go through than I apologize..... but still
Technically upon original release of the song it was wrong side of heaven, righteous side of hell as the whole name bit it was shortened soon after
Like that u said that
" You saved my life, brother "

Chills
I cry every time
That gets me every time.
Where exactly is this from? I feel like I know, but I've forgotten.
How anyone could actually sit and listen to this and not feel it I will never know. FFDP are simply amazing not only with there music but the lyrics are always relatable in many ways..thank u to anyone who serves and god bless everyone.

RIP daddy I love u
I think we all find times we relate!!!
Some have been forced pushed further than most. And when that darkness is released. Your fighting for your life. Sane. Not sane. Survive lose it all.. How is this being alive when your full of hell.
Hi
I'm not military but 5 years as a Security Contractor and now 3 years as Correctional Officer. A buddy of mine introduced me to FFDP 4 years ago when I was working a FEMA contract after Hurricane Michael and since coming back to the Department this song hits hard for me being that I'm constantly fighting with anxiety, depression, chronic-anger, insomnia and Epilepsy.
To all those who are standing and have stood on the Line over-seas and on the homfront: Your service and sacrifice can never truly be thanked in words alone but it's a start in the right direction and YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN
I am a closet metal head. This song took me to places I didn't know existed. I watched my father waste away at 47 years of age. He served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He was never the same. He started experiencing signs of dementia at such a young age. The Doctor at the Veterans hospital said he was probably exposed to something during the Vietnam War, however they did very little to help my precious father. Sadly he passed away.
Damm im sorry man
I feel ya
We - modern humans - are very fragile from the mental point of view, so exposure or not to physical external chemicals, the same results are possible when considering the impact of mental toll he took when he was in wars. Most of them never talk about the atrocities they witness simply because their subconscious chooses to avoid voluntary remembering of those things - thus avoiding the pain. The war changes your perspectives upon life and society, it strips away all the fancy artefacts of modern society. It makes you wonder why we're doing all the things we're doing and you cannot accept anymore any of the bullshit you see around you when you're returning home (which I estimate ~80%-95% of everyday activity). That's true for all the people fighting to DEFEND their own country (that means their country got attacked and they are on their soil, defending). When being the attacker (regardless of your initial beliefs and propaganda you've been subject to - which will fade very fast when experiencing war), raise everything above to the power (2, 3, 4... depending on each person). The impact of our own body chemicals and hormones can cause very easily a mental illness of all range: schizophrenia, dementia, Alzheimer, anxiety disorder, borderline, depression - most often being hidden under alcohol or substance abuse and thus - being attributed to.
May he rest in peace.
I can never express my feelings of gratitude for this band but they rock
This song...Just fill my heart with all the power and love I need
Sang this with patients in an inpatient psych unit today. You helped two people . Thank you .
This song always makes me tear up. It reminds me of my struggles with mental health and with my identity.
" Arms wide open, I stand alone " I always imagine my family surrounding me, glaring at me in disappointment as I break down and hold my arms out, begging someone to just hug me, to comfort me.
Sending hugs
Oh dang man, I'm sorry. I'm so fortunate that my family understands.
I feel that, and I'm so sorry for your pain, I hope that one day they can understand and offer you the comfort that you need 🙏
I feel ya, that's basically how I felt after my meemaw died
Been having self worth issues. Reach out only to get shit on, then you realize those that were there are just words. It's hard ya know. Going from a circle of friends and family that do anything to having yourself. And when yourself is in a dark deep pit it's hard to crawl out on your own. I know not one person can fix my issues but one person could help, just by being there.
This is officially my new favorite heavy metal band

Reminds me of my childhood... rip dad I’ll never forget ya ❤️
This song feels like the story of mankind. From nearly any religious stand point. We all feel our sins have condemned us to hell, but that our good deeds pulls us to heaven. Eventually we accept the fact we don't know where we are going and just live day to day. To bad for heaven. Not bad enough for hell.

It never gets easier... But once in awhile it all does make sense keep the faith stay the path
Life is worth so much more! We are all here for a reason and we're supposed to be here. I've had a lot of trauma in my life and I've struggled but I know that my life is worth something and My life effects other people. Good luck man and God Bless!
nerf your not alone bro. If anything here with all these people’s comments we got you.
YES! One of the best/quickest ways to save those who want to or have thoughts of suicide that don't talk about it is though music.. How else could one possibly save another without knowing they're in trouble? Through deep music that's so many can relate to.. I've been saying this for years.. I highly recommend the song Natural Born Sinner by In This Moment
I feel you brother!🤍
To any and all service men and women thank you
My dad was in the army and his dad was in the navy
"Im no hero I stand alone" that part is very relateble somehow to someone. That part gets me idk why but It does.

this song help me grieve my wifes' death, for the first yr. it was on constant reply (Thumbs Up!!) FFOD . Good Tunes :)
So powerful and meaningful i live with scars you can see and scars you cant see and no matter how hard i try im always on the wrong side of heaven and the rightous side of hell
Heres a salute to all our fallen brothers and sisters we will see you on the rightous side of hell bless you all
This song makes me think about how the people around me have changed me for the worst
Greatest Song of all Time! Glad that i found it again so i can hear it every day for the Rest of my life!
Great song, great band. Have never seen them, but their 4 cds i have are really good.
A correction officer of 18 years.... This song really Hits home.
Thank you Sir
Hope everyone has a great day!
I love this kind of music because it reminds me of how i feel about the world and me
Honestly
I love how this song has the FFDP vibe to it but they take it and make a beautiful, badass song
Man. This hits home in so many ways.
This song has represented how I've felt this whole two months . I had an argument with a buddy of mine and just without him I've fallen farther from myself than ever
I know how you feel about these things my guy.... I've has similar things happen I may not have had the exact same thing happen but I have had similar so I know how you feel.... I've lost to many good friends due to my own stupidity and I highly regret it. Not saying it's your fault but most of my experiences have been my fault most of the time and I wish I wasn't so stupid to do what I did.
Beautifully haunting 🥺🥺🥺
This is like my all time favorite song ever😁😁😁

💀💀🤟 HELL YEAH BROTHER 🤟💀💀
This song helped my family finally understand my experience. And why i don't talk about what i did over seas. And why it still hurts today.
I'm a former soldier n this song truly speaks to me. Every soldier goes through these feelings at some point in their lives. Mine came after I came home for the final time after my service was done
Thank you, Jay, for your service. I served for a different country (Israel), in a different army (the IDF) and I can relate to every drop of this song. To be fair, I also was wounded in the line of duty.
Nothing about the military or death, but this song takes me back to better times that my mindset made into bad times. Won't ever get any time like that again, and I regret wasting it and looking into the black instead of seeing what great happiness was actually right there in front of me. I'm literally picturing a specific moment in time very clearly that should've appreciated.
The guilt feels like on the wrong side of heaven.
"I saw the devil today, and he looked a lot like me... I looked away... I looked away!"
MASTERPIECE 😭🔥
This hurts in many ways from where I stand remembering basic before being discharged. So many of my friends came back and they were so different. I guess this song embodies how they felt.

This is giving me chills
I listen to this song with my dad all the time, I love it and he’s a retired vet. I never really understood the song before, I didn’t know it was written by a vet, but I started writing a couple characters that are formerly veteran or in the case of one, a run away agent and they made me realize the songs meaning because I could now see how this was how they saw themselves.
