As a black kid from the hood. I received this song on a psp demo disc 15 years ago and this turned me out to rock, metal,and alternative from that day forward.i grew up in the Milwaukee,WI professional symphony orchestra first chair bass, 12 years. Music is universal and that’s my first love and my main outlet. I play 4 instruments, and do 4 genres of music, which I write and compose. I know it doesn’t matter on skin color, I’m just saying, this song is the reason I fell in love with music out of the stereotype
Merry Christmas and happy New year to anyone reading this! May all your goals and dreams prosper this upcoming year! You deserve it all!!!!! Nothing less! 🤙
At almost 40, I realized the other day that those people, who were my crew back in the day, are all dead. It was humbling and depressing all at the same time
Nostalgia brought me here, I miss the days of plugging in the ol' PS2 and playing some MX VS ATV and jamming out to bangers like this. What I'd give to wake up tomorrow morning and it all be a wicked dream and I'm 8yrs old on Christmas break.
You were lucky man i kinda got to do fun stuff like that as a kid not that much tho but in my teen years i became nothing scared of everything and does drugs I don't even feel anything on drugs no more 😭😭😭😭
Congratulations 🎉 keep going it gets lonely leaving those people behind and moving forward!!! So worth it 🙌🏽 I can definitely relate being I’m trying to stay sober!!
So awesome. It's been 16 years ( WOW? ) since I was in rehab and I still remember cranking on the radio as soon as I got in the car, and remembering the first song I heard to this day. I don't think I ever, really and fully, enjoyed three minutes alive like those few. Who woulda thought. But hey, congratulations! Hope you have a really good life.
Why has this song resurfacee in so many of our lives so suddenly? I was a teen when this came out and am now 30 and prettty blown away by how the momentum has swung. Whoever is reading, I hope you find true peace and true life. Take care. sidenote..500+ likes is the most I've had on any post, thanks!!!...I was actually a teen when I discovered this song it came out when I was 8 or 9. Thank you for sticking with me!!! 😅
My heart is with everyone who suffers any kind of Heartache, trauma and anything that is making your life miserable or harder or missing a loved one, loved ones. I pray for everyone who is struggling. May hope, peace and happiness be with you all!!!
@@damnyoumustbeslow1510 thanks appreciate it life did get better I found my family and I started taking ketamine for depression which helps immensely so you're right things will always improve with time
I was listening to this in my car with my love eons ago. It feels just like yesterday tho. I'm not with him now he was closed off & only let me in a fraction of what he should have. If he had I might not be in a toxic relationship right now. I pray fate gives us a second chance but I fear it's very unlikely.
@@ashlynn1652 maybe all he wanted was you. What a sucker. Now look the grass wasn't greener on the other it doesn't sound like. Well all you can do is hope for the best and expect the worst some would say.
RyanMartinDrums it really is hard? What makes it harder than most songs? Is it the chords? I don’t play instruments, always wanted to but seems so difficult to grasp
I was in high school when this came out… I was a complete loner. Hoodie up, earbuds in… this band helped me through so much bullying, self hate and parental trauma. I couldn’t imagine coming out whole without listening to this band.
i know right, i love how it starts with his voice, then the drum, THEN the guitar finally, and you're thrown into the song from the get-go really dynamic way to begin a song
No shit man! Freakin badass......silence...and then...LOOKING BACK AT ME! Badass song...I'd totally forgotten about this song until it popped up and i played it...i was missing this.
@Wow Gaming They didn’t officially disband, they just kinda disappeared. Apparently they came out with a few singles since their last full album in 2011, but nothing else. I hope they come back.
It’s really strange and incredible how a song that you once jammed out to…and which filled you with so much energy…All these years later, can stop you in your tracks and overwhelm you with sadness and longing for the times and the people you can never get back in this life…
Wow, I'm so glad I ran across this video again. I've never heard anyone sing this song so beautifully. That voice, wow, I can't even describe how it makes me feel. Thank you.
I'm 34. I was in high school when this came out. For me high school was a time rife with bullying, awkwardness, and anxiety. Music like this saved my life. After all of these years this song still hits me the same way it did when I first heard it.
IM GLAD TO HEAR U CAME THRU ALL THAT.....ITS AMAZING HOW DIFF SONGS CAN TAKE US BACK TO A SPECIFIC TIME INTERACTION AND OR PLACE IN A SPLIT SEC!! SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD BUT AMAZING ALL THE SAME!!
I’m 34 too and your exactly right this song still hits the same as it did in the teen years……all the depression…not knowing who you were or where you were going
I’ll never forget this song, coming back from deployment in Iraq, blasting this song in Germany thinking of the friends we lost, trying to drink the war away, thank you for making music that captured how we felt.
my husband introduced a lot of music to me. i lived under a rock, although i think i heard this as a kid, most songs i wouldn't know the name of. good thing i have a husband with good taste in music
2019 and i still love this song. i miss good music, and those times. the lyrics always made me feel some type of way but now at 29, the lyrics have so much more feeling and understanding. so good
I still love it at 41. Late 90’s - early 2000’s was the high point of music for me. Now the local “rock” stations play 80’s rock or the new “music” that that thinks it’s rock, but it’s just noise made for soothing hipsters. Just my opinion. Maybe I’m just getting old lol
its like u read my mind. I just turned 29 last month. makes me wanna cry when I hear it now and not b/c of sum dumb high school bf that don't mean shit now but b/c of shit that's happened since then in the 'real world'. if that makes sense.
Damn, this song hits some strong nostalgia feels. It's still as good as the first day I heard of it. Wish these guys made more songs like this and Colors.

I’m so glad Crossfade is getting back together. Crossfade was a big part of my childhood and teenage years, always heard it on the radio, always knew all the lyrics to this song as a kid, even though I didn’t know the meaning.
this isnt anywhere near accurate the website shows another band with the exact same numbers lol www.celebritypetal.com/five-finger-death-punch-net-worth/
It’s truth, I didn’t hear this song since 2004 and hearing it now makes me reflect on how I sacrificed friendships from my high school years because life was just harsh and I’ve been slowly picking up the pieces of my life for the past couple of years
Like you do you literally have to be older AND also have gone through difficult times? Should maybe write this in formal logic terms or some type of programming code. But I just capitalized the letters. Wasting letters on lower cases and capitals lol
I will never get bored to this song. This song remind me of many things happened in my life until today. I will always come here and listen to this song until the end of life.
I don't know if you guys will see this but this song helped me grieve for a very long time. My high school sweetheart and I broke up over 10 years ago after being together for years. It was such a heart aching break up that we wouldn't talk but every other week, and so I kept listening to this song throughout that time. One day I wrote these lyrics down in a card and sent it to her. And to this day I still give myself a chance to grieve when I hear this song. I know that we were better off not being together but a lot of tears were shed over her and you are but a product of your own experiences. Remember that and be good yall
As black kid back when it was looked down upon to listen to rock / alternative music,this is one of the songs that have broken the mold for me and I haven't looked back since .The songs hits different when it is one of the reasons why I have different tastes in music.
RIGHT there with you! i was the "weird" black chick who lisened to SOAD and RHCP and wore all black and combat boots....wouldnt trade it though that music was awesome lol
Growing up in Flint I used to hear this so much and never knew who sang it but im so very glad i found it again after all of these yrs.. Music is so healing and this took me on a trip down memory lane
When this song speaks to you so deeply , and you realize that you have hurt the most meaningful person in your life by being emotionally unavailable and distant
This song speaks directly to me because I pushed away the love of my life by not being the man she fell In live with anymore... I knew I was doing it and yet I still kept being unavailable emotionally. I thought we would work through it but sadly 8 years isn’t long enough to keep a women if you a piece of shit
@@davidyorks5272 I have the same story except it was reverse rolls my ex was emotionally unstable when she was around me she was 19 and I was 29 she had brought up stuff about her past but never looked at me as being the love of her life she was mine how ever! Her mom and her dad where absent parents and I was the most stable person in her life she also lied about having a sexual relationship with a guy from Texas that came up to Michigan I hoped things would change if I stayed but things only escalated and got worse in the final nail in the coffin was in April 2020 when After a hole year of being a thing she called me and said she needed money and I had already paid her to buy my phone a 200 Dollar punchers but she wanted more money and called me on my phone to beg me for more money and I said no and goodbye before I hung up the phone she then called me cold in a text message
This song is forever embedded in my brain. I was in Iraq, and the checkpoint before us was blown to pieces. I was the TC and my gunner was singing this song. My gunner stopped for a second then continued the song. This goes to show how war changes a person.
I’m brought to tears with all the memories this song holds for me. Summer of 2004 I was 18, falling in love with my now husband and this song was EVERYWHERE
This song just fills you with emotion from a past relationship im sure a lot of us here can relate to or are going through right now. Hold on things will get better. 🤘🏻🦋
2004 was a great year and yeah you nailed it right in the head with that disc haha. Haven’t heard this song in years and it just played again and I knew all the lyrics instinctively.
I remember jamming to this back when I was 16. Now I'm in my 30s. Two good friends from back then are now dead. But the good memories will never die. RIP Joe and Stacy ♥.
That's a crazy coincidence, I listen to this when I was around 16, I'm 34 now and I lost a friend named Joey and a friend named Stacy. Anyways, losing good friends is tough so R.I.P Joe and Stacy!
This song really hits a home run when we experience painful breakups and the relationships don't end well...this song is kind of like a letter to those exes we no longer keep in touch with. Prayers for them 🙏 and prayers for ourselves as well.
I can't believe this song is 20 years old now Wow! It still sounds just as good as when it was released. Easily one of the greatest Rock anthems of all time!
Being cold was easy. Now I'm in my mid thirties and got slapped in the face with emotions I never new existed. Being human is hard work. Love hate love
to all the next generations who's gonna watch this and listen to it and enjoy it..just remember we were young and full of life as you..enjoyed the same things like how u gonna enjoy it :))
Im from southern California . There was radio station called X 103.9.....they played this song and this style of music. Now this station plays Pop music. Damn I miss the old days.
Jera jera live in michigan we have this radio station 106khq back when I was In middle school 2007 2008 Play this kind of music Along with pop No they don't even play Rock music Just stupid hip hop and pop Were the good stuff go on radios I'll listen to 105 Now Nothing but rock on that station
Man, I remember listening to these guys when I was a young teen. Thinking I knew what the lyrics meant. Now being 30, I REALLY understand as we all go through this at one point in our lives. Deep and powerful song.
This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time man, loved it since childhood. Growing up and beginning to go through these weird phases of life, that chorus.....definitely hits a lil different
I'll just say JESUS bless...I just got out of Afghanistan ...I was Combat Medic...this video show's the secondary sing with a bent/coiled hat. I a just came back...I have been stuck for over 2 years...hiding...Biden left me!!!! I am a Christian ans single...who would want me? I am currently in PA though. I am from Beautifull KENTUCKY. GOD BLESS
Not just the song, but a brilliant video as well. The wordless acting told the story (IMO) of a guy choosing his passion over his love. The lady playing the GF said everything from walking in pay attention to me, to the guitar solo where she was saying there is a problem please talk to me, to the end where she was like at least say goodbye. Fantastic from start to finish!!!!!

Rock on brother!
Dope! It was Smashing Pumpkins for me
Love brother
Excellent
fuck yes bro. i’m mainly into rap. but this music just hits my soul
I'm telling you when you get older these songs aren't just "fun" to listen to anymore.
They will creep up and hit right in the heart.
Most definitely brother 🤘🏻
Jesus, yes
Very well said
AGREED!!! this album got me thru a VERY dark time in my life
Dang bro you wrote exactly what I was feeling i havnt heard this song in years and now it hits just like you say
Merry Christmas and happy New year to anyone reading this! May all your goals and dreams prosper this upcoming year! You deserve it all!!!!! Nothing less! 🤙
Merry Christmas to you too!! I hope that life is wonderful for you.
🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories, becomes a memory.
100 percent true bro. U nailed it.
At almost 40, I realized the other day that those people, who were my crew back in the day, are all dead. It was humbling and depressing all at the same time
Well said
you just hit me in the most sensitive part of my feels i never thought would surface again
Amen
From that psp demo disk 18 years ago to today, still loving this song.
This is where i heard this track for the first time! Damn time is flying
Still a pretty gay song tho
@@peanutbutterdijonnaiseI smell a troll💀
Ok@@peanutbutterdijonnaise
This song is so cool... It's about a man that is apologizing to his GF, for being "cruel" by the way he treated her!!! 😮
His solo is amazing
Yes it is. Fucking love when the guitar literally speaks the words to the chorus
Fucking lol
Peak 2000's music, peak 2000's style. The definition of a generation. Absolute banger of a song.
definitely peak!
Absolutely but they never got their full due.
Absolutely gay song 🤘
Bring 21 during this era was the best.
my cousin cousin calls it dad rock lol
Nostalgia brought me here, I miss the days of plugging in the ol' PS2 and playing some MX VS ATV and jamming out to bangers like this. What I'd give to wake up tomorrow morning and it all be a wicked dream and I'm 8yrs old on Christmas break.

And still here 16 years after. Still giving me goosebumps, as I remember the long afternoons after school playing MX vs ATV Unleashed!

Crossfade bring me goosebumps every time. Such a nostalgic feeling. I am 29 now, I was 11. Every lyric hits the same in 18 years strong.
31 now I was graduating high school in the song came out time flies
I’m 30 now, I use to bump this while playing Gears and COD. Oooooo the good ol days.
Literally fucking same 6th grade and I'll be 30 in January this song is just in the HoF for me
Heard this at 9 years old and now I'm 27 and this is still a jam
Haha I'm the same age and it's hit me hard. Havent heard this song in like 10+ years.
So many heavy metal/hard rock singers that are gifted from God but the rest never hear it. Makes me sad. This is emotion and soul.
Nick Oscar So true.
Nick Oscar truly it is 🔥🔥
No the masses listen to crappy pop when there's a world of gems like this. I'm so glad my parents raised me on rock.
Cause there is no God
Nick Oscar that's right brother
Crossfade’s drummer was so on point them double kicks are hitting
I still try to cover this song and for some reason you’d think it would be easy but my god it’s hard to do just right!
I want a set so bad man I only play guitar for now
I did a cover of this for my school talent show the sad thing is I had to be a drummer plus a singer 😂
Check out Atomship ...Chad kent will change your life. Aliens and Mothra

Had the privilege of meeting the lead singer one time. He's a real chill guy and it was so awesome talking with him and hanging out for a few minutes.
The singer's name is Ed Sloan.
I think he went solo, but I'm not sure about it.
Wow that’s cool. I literally live in the city Crossfade is from, and I wasn’t even aware of that fact until I looked up the band.

Lol
Lyrics:
Looking back at me, I see that I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that gets me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so
Cold to you, I'm sorry 'bout all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You can see me stand on my own again
'Cause now I can see
You are the antidote that got me by
Somethin' strong, like a drug, that got me high
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am (is I'm sorry for the way)
I never meant to be so cold (I am)
Never meant to be so cold
Thank you mate
I’m so glad Crossfade is getting back together. Crossfade was a big part of my childhood and teenage years, always heard it on the radio, always knew all the lyrics to this song as a kid, even though I didn’t know the meaning.
How the hell can this video get 52 million views and Crossfade never really made it? Its crazy. Great band, deserved so much more.
how can this video get 10,281thumbs down?!
Because great songs like this come only once every blue moon!
Mike TGL let's give cossfade want than want
this isnt anywhere near accurate the website shows another band with the exact same numbers lol www.celebritypetal.com/five-finger-death-punch-net-worth/
Mike TGL Really ridiculous songs get billion views, not fair
I'm 22, and I just realized how much I miss listening to this when I was 10
Still hits the same!
I'm 21, and it's the same for me. Great thing is we can hit replay to experience it again.
🤘 Memories 🤘
You crazy Kid - but a very cool answer ✌☻☮
I’m 28 and remember listening to this in 2004 on the radio. Wonder if the world has just forgotten about this kind of musics. It’s wild…
Child
This song was on one of my favorite games on the Xbox as a kid, MX Unleashed, shit still hit like it did back then
Song hits a lot different when you’re much older and have gone through difficult times
Feelin THAT! 💯
It’s truth, I didn’t hear this song since 2004 and hearing it now makes me reflect on how I sacrificed friendships from my high school years because life was just harsh and I’ve been slowly picking up the pieces of my life for the past couple of years
The way people say things like this lol. Like we aren't allowed to have emotions while young
Like you do you literally have to be older AND also have gone through difficult times? Should maybe write this in formal logic terms or some type of programming code. But I just capitalized the letters. Wasting letters on lower cases and capitals lol
Almost cried reading this because it's so fucking true. I'm going through some SHIT right now...
#middleagedcrisis
I will never get bored to this song. This song remind me of many things happened in my life until today. I will always come here and listen to this song until the end of life.
An old favorite.
Can't believe 10 years just flew by OR that we had such good music back then, unlike today...
If you don't think there's any good music today, you're not looking very hard.
reNINTENDO
Sorry, but you won't hear this kind of the stuff on the radio anymore...internet? Sure, all day long.
apexdna I agree... Music 10 years ago was so much better then the popular crap they play today
Well. would you want to spend your time remembering all the bad songs? Or would you remember the songs _YOU_ like?
I just like the songs more from the past from the 2000s to the 80s more than today's music
I don't know if you guys will see this but this song helped me grieve for a very long time. My high school sweetheart and I broke up over 10 years ago after being together for years. It was such a heart aching break up that we wouldn't talk but every other week, and so I kept listening to this song throughout that time. One day I wrote these lyrics down in a card and sent it to her. And to this day I still give myself a chance to grieve when I hear this song. I know that we were better off not being together but a lot of tears were shed over her and you are but a product of your own experiences. Remember that and be good yall
I feel u man break ups are the freaking worst
💯💯
Stay strong bro.🙏
surrender & survive this hit different. Never lose hope
❤️
As black kid back when it was looked down upon to listen to rock / alternative music,this is one of the songs that have broken the mold for me and I haven't looked back since .The songs hits different when it is one of the reasons why I have different tastes in music.
SALUTE
🔥🙏
Hard rock and metal is for everyone my friend
RIGHT there with you! i was the "weird" black chick who lisened to SOAD and RHCP and wore all black and combat boots....wouldnt trade it though that music was awesome lol
Same here black & proud and alt music was my favorite odd kid in the family
Growing up in Flint I used to hear this so much and never knew who sang it but im so very glad i found it again after all of these yrs.. Music is so healing and this took me on a trip down memory lane
When this song speaks to you so deeply , and you realize that you have hurt the most meaningful person in your life by being emotionally unavailable and distant
damn maria you out hear speaking facts wtf.
This song speaks directly to me because I pushed away the love of my life by not being the man she fell In live with anymore... I knew I was doing it and yet I still kept being unavailable emotionally. I thought we would work through it but sadly 8 years isn’t long enough to keep a women if you a piece of shit
Story of my life
@@davidyorks5272 don't worry brother. I was the same way. I feel you
@@davidyorks5272 I have the same story except it was reverse rolls my ex was emotionally unstable when she was around me she was 19 and I was 29 she had brought up stuff about her past but never looked at me as being the love of her life she was mine how ever! Her mom and her dad where absent parents and I was the most stable person in her life she also lied about having a sexual relationship with a guy from Texas that came up to Michigan I hoped things would change if I stayed but things only escalated and got worse in the final nail in the coffin was in April 2020 when After a hole year of being a thing she called me and said she needed money and I had already paid her to buy my phone a 200 Dollar punchers but she wanted more money and called me on my phone to beg me for more money and I said no and goodbye before I hung up the phone she then called me cold in a text message
Remember listening to this on my psp from a demo music disc. Good times
Robertito OG I miss those days my man.
Exactly the same here.
Yes!
Bruh, you too!?
Jesus I was just thinking this... I miss those days.
One of the many songs that I can listen all day without getting sick of it
these guys are sick:) I'm in love
so far I've listened to it 6 times... today 😁 love this song. I was in high school when this came out, now I'm 28 😶
So you didn't raise your hands after all :(
Sk3ptic i agree
no shit huh.. great song.. like the song Blurry
One of the great songs from growing up. This has helped me through some hard times .
This still Rocks today!! I remember listening to this when I was 15 in High School!! Those were the good days!! 😀🤘🏼
that’s crazy ! still a good song too !
Yeah! It is still a good song!!
always jammed to this back in the day shit still do
Same! Brought back memories haha
This song is forever embedded in my brain. I was in Iraq, and the checkpoint before us was blown to pieces. I was the TC and my gunner was singing this song. My gunner stopped for a second then continued the song. This goes to show how war changes a person.
Thank you for your service Kyle..
😪
When were you in Iraq? I was in Baghdad in 06. Thanks for you service brother!
@@kittyimeow I was there from 07-08 then 09-10

Austin Reifert sup bro
I’m brought to tears with all the memories this song holds for me. Summer of 2004 I was 18, falling in love with my now husband and this song was EVERYWHERE
This song is so personal and real ...lyrics punch me in the chest. Gorgeous ❤️💕❤️💕❤️
I absolutely agree!!
This really hits home
Li e rv
Same. Only they punch me in psychology.
This song just fills you with emotion from a past relationship im sure a lot of us here can relate to or are going through right now. Hold on things will get better. 🤘🏻🦋
You're not an actual "ragdoll chick" born in 1992, are you?
Lieertv
reminds me of disappointing certain people while using drugs(heroin/crack)
Shout out the PSP demo disc that introduced me this song and rock in general!
Bro, the only reason I know about this is because of my psp 10 years ago
2004 was a great year and yeah you nailed it right in the head with that disc haha. Haven’t heard this song in years and it just played again and I knew all the lyrics instinctively.
Yes!!!🔥
I WAS LEGIT THINKING THIS BEFORE I READ YOUR COMMENT LOL
Yoooooooooooooo child hood memory unlocked
Definely one of the best videoclips ever made. Now from a grown-up perspective, watching this hits home hard.
I’m 36 and this song still goes hard.....
Coz the lyrics has meaning in it. And the 90's people love it❤️👍👍
@@bhargavdas3454 say it one more time for the slow people
ohh yea its bad ass
46 here and this song is a banger!
28 and same
Even after all these years, I still love this song
Jotham_ N catchy tune
👍
me too budy

I know right, how time fly

The guitar break in this song, is everything!!
Amen ❤️❤️❤️
Can't agree more. Simple yet Tasty.
the guitar solo just hits differently
Your 40th like 👊🏼
South Carolinian here born and raised. WELCOME BACK. We need you.
I remember jamming to this back when I was 16. Now I'm in my 30s. Two good friends from back then are now dead. But the good memories will never die. RIP Joe and Stacy ♥.
I'm sorry for your loss 💔 sending love your way.... May you feel them hug you every time you hear this song ❤️🥰
🙏
I'm 45 and it still kicks ass. Sorry for your loss.
In my 40's now, crazy how some of the people I planned on being around forever aren't here anymore.
That's a crazy coincidence, I listen to this when I was around 16, I'm 34 now and I lost a friend named Joey and a friend named Stacy. Anyways, losing good friends is tough so R.I.P Joe and Stacy!
When he’s ripping the solo and just looks like he doesn’t even care….. we’ve all been there!🤘🏻those cords were soul touching
This song really hits a home run when we experience painful breakups and the relationships don't end well...this song is kind of like a letter to those exes we no longer keep in touch with. Prayers for them 🙏 and prayers for ourselves as well.
Amen ❤️
Agree
Agree
I can't believe this song is 20 years old now Wow! It still sounds just as good as when it was released. Easily one of the greatest Rock anthems of all time!
Being cold was easy. Now I'm in my mid thirties and got slapped in the face with emotions I never new existed. Being human is hard work. Love hate love
True my friend
It's a minefield. It's so strange, the vastness of human emotion
@@mistyhess3546 sure is
@@Reaper66685 💛
Wow! Never looked at that way! Def noticed an emotional shift especially in my mid 30’s. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or rough to sort through.
This song hits different when your running from your past drinking it away no matter how bad and actually falling for the right one 💯💯💯
“Never meant to be so cold” hits every time. Head down, eyes closed, feeling the song deep in your soul
"What I really meant to say is I'm sorry for the way I am" is another emotionally powerful line that sticks with you as well.
Amen!
@@NexusKinline has me crying from time to time
Hits like a truck
As I sat and listened with my eyes closed rocking side to side lol
Crossfade's first album is amazing front to back. Not a bad song on it. Glad they are reuniting and going back out on tour
to all the next generations who's gonna watch this and listen to it and enjoy it..just remember we were young and full of life as you..enjoyed the same things like how u gonna enjoy it :))
Im from southern California . There was radio station called X 103.9.....they played this song and this style of music. Now this station plays Pop music. Damn I miss the old days.
Jera jera live in michigan we have this radio station 106khq back when I was In middle school 2007 2008 Play this kind of music Along with pop No they don't even play Rock music Just stupid hip hop and pop Were the good stuff go on radios I'll listen to 105 Now Nothing but rock on that station
Evan Krueger do you happen to live in northern Michigan, around Gaylord and petoskey
Good song my brother used to listen to this song
Because there isn't anymore Rock

SAME
I know what you Mean for my it feels the same
True 😢😜
right on point m8
Yes💯
that vocal chain and mix is amazing
Man, I remember listening to these guys when I was a young teen. Thinking I knew what the lyrics meant. Now being 30, I REALLY understand as we all go through this at one point in our lives. Deep and powerful song.
Me doing the same thing relating to the song on mx vs atv then growing up and understanding the lyrics really hit hard
@Dylan McGee Yessssss!!! That's how I found this song too 🤙
10 years later and it hasn’t aged a bit. Still as great as the first time I heard it
Word.
more like 15 years later bruh
Closer to 20 years than 10 years at this point man.
Man, I knew someday the band would get back together, and here they are! They’re having a reunion show this year 2024 . So happy for us 🤘 fans
This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time man, loved it since childhood. Growing up and beginning to go through these weird phases of life, that chorus.....definitely hits a lil different
I can never get sick of this song...that vibe you get when music was music ❤❤❤
Gina Campbell gorgeous girl🔥🔥
I agree 1000% music isnt what it use to be plus this song has a good meaning almost everyone can relate to it I love it lol
I saw crossfade at edgefest in Albuquerque on a side stage. An Awesome memory
Yeah you are right about the music was much better than the music is now. And that's coming from a rock and roll fan that is a black man 🤨
This song is fire
I came here because RUclips recommended this to me!
Thank's RUclips...
Long Live Rock & Metal!
Kevin Murillo g edged uhh we ay uhh u8ru9e in
Why does this hit so hard...like man how real can it get??
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are.... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good
God bless
Thank you
Thank You & ❤️ To You As Well!
I'll just say JESUS bless...I just got out of Afghanistan ...I was Combat Medic...this video show's the secondary sing with a bent/coiled hat. I a just came back...I have been stuck for over 2 years...hiding...Biden left me!!!! I am a Christian ans single...who would want me? I am currently in PA though. I am from Beautifull KENTUCKY. GOD BLESS
When I play this song in a bar, people ask me, Who's this New Band?
This guy ain’t no SIMP. She came to him and he was like “girl can’t you see im doing a solo right now get out of here” absolute legend
What a mad man 👏👏
This comment made me physically cringe. The word simp is so overused at this point.
Lol, ultimate alpha
The song is an apology.
Missing the point of the song. No surprise.
Just remembered this song now I need to add it to my Spotify. 🤘
I'm 30 and I have always love this song, ever since it came out. Funny thing is that i never thought i would ever dedicate it to someone...
"I never really wanted you to see the screwed up side of me that I keep, locked inside of me so deep" hits me so hard 😭
Same.
When I graduated rehab, this was my graduation song. 10 years drug free and this song still helps me. Such powerful lyrics.
I rewind that part about 10 times every time I listen to this song!
Your okay your okay 👍
Who's the girl? Looks familiar
2024 who’s listening still?
Here
Here
Here
I’m listing of course
My mom
Not just the song, but a brilliant video as well. The wordless acting told the story (IMO) of a guy choosing his passion over his love. The lady playing the GF said everything from walking in pay attention to me, to the guitar solo where she was saying there is a problem please talk to me, to the end where she was like at least say goodbye. Fantastic from start to finish!!!!!
Heard this on my psp demo in 2006 and liked it ever since
Along with Coheed and Cambria's Blood Red Summer and Home by Three Days Grace?! Those were the days
+Sydow93 hell yeah!
dude..lol same here man... I had heard the song but having the video was the coolest thing...when your young you can play a song over and over
I didn't have any games for months, so I just watched this music video on the demo almost everyday. Memorized this entire video lol
+hyperzyph64 same here!😂
I miss this sort of music so much it hurts.
This is part of my childhood. What a pity there isn't more of this.
WillAIC132 yee me to
WillAIC132 ....i feel this and 2nd that.
I hear ya. I miss the music from high school and my early 20s. We grew up with some great tunes.
my sentiments exactly
I will never get tired of this song

+Cynthia Dos Santos its one of my top tens and I recommend this song to every one i know

+Cynthia Dos Santos amen
+Wes Betancourt yup, this is my favorite song
Just watched an interview with them & they're coming back!
My parents have listened to this type of music since I was little. So I've basically been growing up listening to it❤️
Kayla Diamond same! Im 13
I'm 25 and my 5 year old daughter loves this song lol
Your parents seem cool as FUCK.........
My kids have grown listening to the stuff I jammed to in high school! They love it
I was listening to three days grace break and when that song was over it brought me here
Love this song, just never gets old
My fav and only game as a kid was atv vs mx, literally for the music, been in love since first time I heard it😂
I use to love that game on ps2, though i dont remember this song being on it
i
Man this is real music.
Play this song to your girl..if y'all don't have mind blowing make up sex..letter go!!!
