That's some really powerful stuff dude I woke up thinking of this song this morning did it kind of helped me out in a lot of ways myself even though it is seemingly depressing song that has a lot more behind it I'm glad I could do a lot for you as well thank you buddy
sometimes i have to stop myself listening to this song even though i adore it. it makes me feel things i didn't know i really felt. like a deep set nostaligia and a strong desire to get away from this place and this life at the same time. it makes me feel insanely sad to my soul, and hopeful at the same time. this is why i listen to music - it brings out parts of me i didn't even know i had.
31 and still feeling all the feels like it's 2009 again. Nothing can come close to those moments back then, back roads with friends...screaming out alone in your car on a rainy summer night. We were infinite but the moments still drifted into memories.
@@beezybeez5971I understand you completely man. Breaks my heart frequently knowing I’ll never get to go back, it’s just like im not even happy deep down anymore, like im missing these moments when I had so much love for everyone and now it just seems a distant memory. God I’m so sad I wish Jesus just knew what I’m feeling inside maybe it wouldn’t be all for vain
@@maliceplus Gpd knows. He created you that way. Keep it up, maybe look inward. Your heart is special. Nothing is forever but salvation. Time to grow. Hang in there.
The thing is this song isn't sacrilegious towards Christianity, it more or less is showing how the singer and other people for that matter have their doubts in Jesus being able to save them because they feel so lost in sin that they cannot be saved and redeemed. It also explains how people want to build a relationship with Jesus but don't know how to and as a result will not recognize him when he comes back. What a fantastic song.
if you actually do some research and not just be a hateful atheist with a personal vendetta on anyone that believes in anything that you believe otherwise, the song is deeper than "religion is bullshit". The singer has religious background when he was a kid and he left it when grew older but still has some sentiments and fears about things. This is a conversation where the narrator is worried about his choices and if everything he believed in was real, would he still be saved. This isn't a shallow hateful song about how religion is bullshit.
Do you not understand that your own bullshit is in the same vein as the other bullshit you're railing against? Only difference is the other person was actually respectful about their views. You're just being a little douchebag.
+Joe A. Verage yeah okay, but do they act upon it? Did you get stoned to death? Apparently not so I don't see how what you're saying is relevant. The attitude you're displaying is ignorant. Not every religion is worthy of respect? A) Who are you to pass that judgement. B) What else isn't worthy of respect? Political Beliefs, Sports Teams, Race? Smoke a cigarette and calm yourself dude.
You obviously don't know much about Christianity. I can break it down for you simply, the Old Testament does say things about stoning people that are non-believers, however the Old Testament is only used to show historically how it was before Christ died on the cross. Not to mention God does not exactly enjoy any of those situations. The New Testament is the Gospel that we Christians live by in today's world. Also, the New Testament does not say anything about people being evil just because they do not believe in Christianity. It only merely says that those people are lost and will perish if they do not change their beliefs before Christ returns. Honestly, as Christians it's actually our duty to try to save as many people as we can before it's too late. None of us are perfect or feel above anyone else just because we believe Christ died on the cross for our sins. It does not entitle us to anything, we still have to maintain a relationship with God in order to attain eternal life with Him and it's even more than that. Anyways, I pray you my friend to change your mind on this subject or at least explore the aspects of Christianity before you accuse it of so many vile things. Thank you.
There is such thing as Satan you do know that? And also God gives people free will. And to answer what you said, Psalm is part of the Old Testament. As far as Luke 16:17 he is referring to the Ten Commandments, which yes is still supposed to stand until today. I suppose you were right, there are definitely lessons and teachings in the Old Testament that still are around today. But the way people were punished changed since then due to Jesus dying on the cross. Once again, Matthew 5:17 is referring to the Ten Commandments and other teachings, yet not the way that people are punished for being non-believers. That is not a Law in Christianity. Anyways, there is no point in arguing with you because you are too stubborn to see my perspective. I can most definitely see yours as I used to not think that God cared about anyone or anything. I will pray for you.
This song is for Eric Mcbride. The love of my life who I was lucky enough to hold for 9 years who is now gone. I can still hear his guitar play this song sometimes. I will miss that man forever. I love you Eric.. I hope you're at peace finally.
While people are talking about there favorite lines in the song. "And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?" So beautifully poetic. Thomas had to see Jesus' hands after He had risen to believe it was really him. If Thomas asks to see your hands at the gates, this could be a metaphor for the sins that are on your hands and if you will be accepted into heaven after Thomas inspects them and considers Jesus' on the cross a proper payment for cleaning your hands. Just beautiful.
I wanna talk shit about how weird it would be for a biblically accurate depiction of an angel to be called "Thomus." .....but I can't. This song is so beautiful that it makes me think it's possible...and my God this song is so simple..but amazing 👏
Relax bro it’s about life slowly killing you and how do you midagate it? And the answer is you don’t it’s life every person does it no way to avoid it, some get out early that’s all.
we all got wood and nails , meaning we all have potential to nail someone up mentally, verbally and in Jesus's case physically, but without his self sacrifice we wouldn't have forgiveness
@@williamsong3108It's a metaphor. Idk if ppl genuinely believe that the soul of god entered a person, that Jesus will rise again. But if u think of it in literary terms, archetypes of the bible n whatnot, it all makes sense
One night, after my brother shot himself in the temple, I found this song on his FB profile. I couldnt listen to any other song for days. Evey time I hear it, even 9 years later, I get goosebumps. This song is beautiful.
Thats terrible to hear. I lost my brother in 1994 when I was 14 and all this time later its still there. It never goes away, you just kinda learn to live with it. I hope you find strength to carry you through the years ahead!
This is the first time I've actually analyzed the lyrics to this song. "Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark." Such a powerful phrase. The paradox that we all have good and evil within us, but sometimes we allow the darkness to take over. Hence, the devil and God are raging inside me. Such a beautifully written song.
The bright of positive is too weak to take away the negative of dark that's what I get out of it.... depression is something he writes about in a lot of their songs
"And I will die all alone. And when I arrive I won't know anyone." Never in my life have I ever heard social anxiety summed up so well in a song lyric.
"Jesus christ im alone again so what did you do those three days you were dead? cuz this problems gonna last more than the weekend..." brand new has amazing lyrics in their songs, this one has been hitting me hard for years.
Jesus went to hell for those three days and Jesus being Jesus managed to save those in hell and when Jesus left hell , only 3 were left in hell. Harod, Cain, and Judas. I would say that was rather a very intentional and personal ..
I avoided this song for the past 12 years because it reminded me too much of my ex and the good times we shared together. It nice to listen to it again. Hope you’re doing well Jaime, thanks for the memories
Definitely up there. some absolutely timeless lyrics. I would put the lyrics of this album and some from deja equal with just about anyone, including paul simon, Connor oburst, etc. Just unbelievably poetic and personal. They describe feelings and thoughts you didn't even totally understand you had until you heard them laid out so completely.
@Big Smoke Im sure it doesnt matter if you are a theist, atheist or agnostic. Musical talent happens in all walks of life and inspiration can be born out of love, hate, existential issues, etc. which all humans go through.
Discovered this song shortly after being arrested. Was out awaiting court dates, facing many felony charges. Had ankle monitor on too. I thought I was looking at serving some time. The second line got to me. it goes, "If they don't put me away, it'll be miracle" Well i got damm near a miracle. 6 months on work furlough and some probation. Got to keep my kids.. that was 2 yrs ago. Tough time
I'm Christian (more specifically from Iraq - Chaldean/Assyrian). And I don't even care if the person is an Atheist. This song is still powerful and meaningful. I sometimes cry during this. I like how he's having a conversation with Him.
doesn't matter if he's an atheist. In this song, he seems really agnostic. and with my OCD, i'm always thinking about thoughts like this bc i get scared too. We all can.
+WinterMoonxX It doesn't matter what the writer's religion is. It matters what the song means to you. The best artists let the listener make their own interpretation and don't dictate how to read their work. Sure, they can say what they meant, but they will appreciate someone else's vision of it too.
this is my most relatable song as it speaks on inner conflict and doubt in God. just know that when you are done doubting him he will always be there for you. unlike your friends, unlike your family, he will always take you back with no resentment or judgement . my life is like a montage of me pushing him away and i hope one day soon i can swallow whats left of my pride
Bro that's where I'm at two. Iv literally traveled the country and the WORLD sharing " the gospel " but Jesus has never actually, legitimately been real to me. I thought it was, I desperately wanted it to be, but ultimately not. Now I haven't gone to church in 2 years and have completely walked away from everything that has to do with any religion, let alone the Bible ect. But something deep inside tells me I need to go back and give it an honest shot.
@@Cookie0927 That’s actually the only sin that can totally keep you from salvation, but it takes a lifetime to commit it. It’s called “blasphemy against the Holy Ghost” and to commit it, you have to stop believing you can be saved. The tricky part with it is that if you ever come around and repent, it proves that you didn’t really believe you couldn’t be saved, so you never really committed the unforgivable sin in the first place… it’s a paradox. You can go to God, it’s okay. But you’ll probably be better off in a church that has over 2,000 years of theological rationalism and mystical tradition, so… you’re better off Catholic or Orthodox. No offense to cradle Protestants but your theology takes the deep and layered landscape of the Gospel and presents it as a 2D map.
@Swanky, except he is never there for you? Like ever. It's just the thought of "Jesus being there for you". If you get cancer, will he heal you if the doctors can't? If real bad things happens to you, will he answer your prayers? My parents who lived their entire life for christ have witnessed early death and sickness and seemingly malicious misfortune in the lives of their children, despite their desperate prayers for years.. These days they are just heartbroken and will say they don't understand and refuse to speak about it. I witnessed far too many cases like that, unanswered prayers when it just doesn't make any sense. Jesus supposedly healed everyone when he was on earth, and made very bold promises about prayer, so why doesn't he do that anymore? How is he there for you, really?
@@tomveres5043 I know the pain. I see so much sickness, fear, loss, unfairness around the entire world. But healing and home on earth is not guaranteed. Biblically, this world is wicked and dying. Our hope is leaving this world behind.
You know what's crazy about this song? At about 4:15 when the song fades out and returns again, the pause and continuation is symbolic of the resurrection. I am not someone who has 'found god', but that is mighty powerful.
@@TRAMP-oline hey I was just wondering about what I had heard someone saying to another .. I'm still wondering which way would be better.. I guess it would depend on the moods..
For some reason, this song follows me like an old ghost of a friend, always returning each year, always right around Christmas… Anyone else? Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face…
It's impossible to quote a single lyric of this masterpiece. You don't know where to end the quote, so you end up writing down the lyrics in their entirety.
I think it’s safe to say, after 14 years, this is my favorite album of all time. I’ve probably listened to it front to back at least 500 times and each time I get something new out of it. It’s been there for me through the darkest and loneliest of times. Thank you, Brand New. For this masterpiece.
I've struggled with God all my life. I've went from agnostic to Christian to back to agnostic. I feel like God's ruined my life. But at the same time I take blame. please pray for me
Religion is stupid. Trust me I was religious for 15 years and even studied for priesthood before agnosticism. Atheism is too certain for my taste, I don't know anything for sure.
Quattro, I know how it is man. The best words of advice I can give you would be to not hold back. Get closer to God and gain an understanding of how he works. When you do you won't feel as though he ruined your life - trust me. Remember that it doesn't matter how badly you've fawked up in life Jesus will always pick you back up if you come to him. I know because I keep doing so and I am really grateful for that.
I used to listen to this in high school back in 2008-2010. I don't think I really understood the lyrics like I do now, after I've been saved and know Jesus as my personal Lord, saviour, friend. He's real. You don't need to be 'good' before you come to Him. Good works can never save you. That's why He had to die. Come as you are. Only He can change your heart and clean up your life. Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This is the most powerful song I've heard from Brand New. By far my favorite. Its like he wrote a letter to god, and told him about his fear. This song is as good as gospel. And you don't hear that too often.
"Well jesus christ I'm alone again, so what did you do those three days you were dead? 'cause this problem's gonna last more than the weekend" total mood for this year
It's simply a beautiful song. No matter who you are or what you do in life it all ends the same way. Life is to short to dwell on materialistic and frugal things. Every second you take a breath you are dying.
+Stephen Jones nahh dude, it really, isn't you shouldn't think of it like that, embrace it and fulfill your calling, be happy, just think hard on who you are and what you want and you will see.
+Stephen Jones "Every second you take a breath you are dying". No sentence in history has ever made me feel so comfortable and carefree. Realising nothing matters, everything lacks purpose is true freedom.
I Recently celebrated 5 years of sobriety, this album was a consistent presence in my early sobriety. The most difficult period of my life...This album, this song, was something to hold on to when I felt like letting going and giving in. 5 years on; Still sober, still alive... and still listening to this album.
Jesus is real and really does love us. the problem is,free will. I used to be an atheist. God really is good. God bless you all call out to Him and ask Him to reveal,Himself to you
Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face The kind you’d find on someone that could save If they don’t put me away Well it’ll be a miracle Do you believe you’re missing out Everything good is happening somewhere else But with nobody in your bed The night’s hard to get through And I, will die, all alone And when I, arrive, I won’t know anyone Well Jesus Christ I’m alone again So what did you do those three days you were dead 'Cuz this problem’s gonna last More than the weekend Well Jesus Christ, I’m not scared to die I’m a little bit scared of what comes after Do I get the gold chariot Do I float through the ceiling Do I, divide, and fall apart 'Cuz my bright, is too sly, to hold back all my dark And the ship, went down, in sight of land And at the gates, does Thomas, ask to see my hands I know you'll come in the night like a thief But I’ve had some time alone, to hold my lions at bay I know you think that I’m someone you can trust But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up(and you won't know) So do you think that we could work out a psalm So I’ll know it’s you and that it's over so I won't even try I know you’re coming for the people like me We all got wood and nails, we try n’ tear down hate and factory We all got wood and nails, don’t tear down hate n’ factory We all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine
Fail to understand the fact that at 27...this band still makes me feel the same way as i did as a lovedrunk teenager...its fucking golden nuggets of poetry on silken vocal cords that capture the imagination and sense of empathy
i see a lot of people interpreting the song in the comments, so i wanted to give it a go. for me, this song is about someone who wants to kill themselves, but doesn't have a very good relationship with god or isn't sure that they believe in god, and is scared what will happen afterwards. like, they're saying "god, i don't want to live anymore, but i'm too scared to die, because what comes after could be worse than what's here." that's just my interpretation though, and it's probably a lot different than what this song means to the person who wrote it. that's what makes music great, that it means something different to everyone! :)
+the 1975 I think it's a perfectly solid interpretation. Especially with the beginning about how he's going to die all alone... Loneliness is a strong motivator for suicide.
+the 1975 I interpreted it very similar to this, but rather than someone who wants to commit suicide, but someone who is having an existential crisis and is thinking about death and is wondering and is a little fearful about what happens next.
Anyone else think of this song a different way now? "Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face, the kind you'd find on someone that could save. If they don't put me away, it'll be a miracle."
you must be really dumb for not understand the meaning of the song and how much it relates to me yea call me gay what does that prove that you an online thug that thinks he is tuff but in real life ain't shit so goes on the Internet to say ignorant things
are you dumb or something you music can be someone's day or something that makes them depressed that's why there is different genres of music and saying someone is gay even tho you have no prove is an insult yes gay is a sexuality
Bangs are from 2005? haha anyway it's funny how your'e trying to come at my hair even though my profile picture is 4 years old, Your comments aren't doing you any good. Try something else, you're not doing your self-esteem any favors here
finunderoath It's relaxing, that's why. It happens to me when i listen to some good indie folk/country music :D Just try and listen to it with your eyes closed. You can't see it in a computer screen... Now you see it in all its beauty.
"I know you think that I'm someone you can trust , but I'm scared I'll get scared and i swear I'll try to nail you back up". That is an amazing verse of honesty and humility , simply profound.
Amen, thank you Jesus. For, I know it was you who saved my life when everyone thought i was passed saving……..(i was skateboarding n was hit by a semi truck….)
This song played on repeat for about three month straight after my fiancés murder in front of me and the onslaught of my subsequent heroin addiction. Such a beautiful song.
I celebrated six years cleans this summer Sean, thank you for asking. Burning, you're right. Heroin isn't fun and it's not tragic and romantic as so often Hollywood projects. Heroin is hell in its most stripped down bare and pure form. I'm sending you love.
This is a song and band someone I recently lost introduced me to. She loved this song and I liked it. After she passed I can't stop listening to it. I now love it and so much of it is like it was written about her. I will always remember and miss you lucy
I used to listen to this song on repeat a few years back sitting in my dark and gloomy room wondering what the purpose of my life was. Lost and confused in a dark and eerie world. fast forward to the present and I’ve been set free from sin by Jesus Christ. The world will continue to hate the light, they’ll say they stand for justice & love while tearing apart all that love truly stands for. But I will not and I cannot. I’d imagine some lonesome stragglers will scroll through the comments on this video expecting to find someone like me to hurtle insults towards. But that’s alright. Turn to Christ & begin to walk on the path of true love.
How does one find Jesus christ? That is the real question. How does one come to terms with not knowing what to believe? Why is it so hard for some to find God and for others it's attainable? The thought of christ intrigues me but the thought of their being nothing after death seems even more wholesome. Just my personal belief, I've tried to connect with Jesus many of times and everytime end up short handed. Is it bad that I'd prefer nothingness than an afterlife? Could God truly blame me for being weary of his existence when I haven't found any real reason to put forth the contrary? Jesse was somewhat right on his part in saying "do you think we could work out a sign, so I know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try." But even then I don't know if I'd want to try, it feels like a burden, a weight on one's shoulders.
I used to listen to this CD on repeat all the time , so much that my fiancé began to enjoy some of the songs even though he never liked this genre of music. This was his favorite song by brand new. I’d catch him listening to it on his own time too. He passed away a few months ago and every time I play this song I can’t help but get this intense sickening chill inside me thinking of him when I listen to the words in this song.
This song has always been there for me through the hardest of times. The feelings that move through me while listening to this song is healing, nostalgic, painful, and yet beautiful at the same time.
Back in October of 2011, my grandmother, who was like another mother to me, was in the hospital dying of cancer. On our way to the hospital, I sat in the back of the car with that sinking feeling in my stomach.... That feeling of knowing it was the last time I would see her, and hear her voice. The drive there, I listened to this song on my ipod.. Sadly, that was the last time I got to see her alive. She smiled at me and told me she will always love me and be with me. It's been a long time since I heard this song and hearing it again just reminds me of that painful, rainy, evening drive to the hospital. 😔
Not all good, not all bad - somewhere in between. I think that’s true for most people. I’m 32, I definitely believe in something beyond all of this, greater, more infinite and it’s place where everyone is redeemed and every relationship is as real as it was always meant to be. Maybe it’s my wishful thinking, but it’s not a place that needs to be earned, it’s there when it’s time and when you’re ready. Love people here as much as you can, and remember the flip side, where the light is living and possibilities are endless. Peach and love from Seattle, WA ⭐️
i've never heard a song encapsulate suicidal depression quite so scarily well. i love brand new dearly but sometimes they're just so close to home that i have to take a break.
What sucks is when you realize were just as non important as the ants you step on, on a daily basis and realizing this song was so much more beautiful when you still had hope...sigh
Ummm... that doesn't quite make sense. If the song is relatively new how could it have been relevant your whole life if the song didn't exist for the duration of your entire life?
Here today after a very hard night. But im here. I first heard this song years ago... it brings back all those feelings I had back then. All the memories I felt with this song. Back then it got me through. And now again I sit here listening to it after I got through... Stay strong people, you will get through this day. This night.♡
It's so funny because I always used to skip the music at the end and just go back to the beginning and listen to it again but today for the first time I really listened and appreciated that pause and the music at the end. It's that moment of a deep breath like you said and a bit of cleansing after the wild ride of the rest of the song. So perfect.
All I want is to go to heaven and be with my beloved king Jesus Christ and finally be at peace and free of never ending suffering. However I'm still young and as such most likely have decades left before that happens and so until then I'll continue to endure and struggle till my time comes. Never give up because Jesus Christ never did and compared to his trials and tribulations our own hardships are utterly miniscule..
The upside down cross was from when Peter, Jesus's greatest disciple (and sort of the first pope) was crucified, and he felt so unworthy to be killed in the same manner as Jesus that he asked to be crucified upside-down. If anything, the upside-down cross is a strong symbol of piety, not heresy.
Dont really agree with that , it may not be about religion but it sure does speak to faith . Its about someone who is honest about his failings and yet still speaks to hope . The subject being Jesus is never cast in the negative , but the person singing is still asking those questions that need to be asked and is honest in his assessment of what his place is . Its a truly beautiful song.
I've always understood this as a song about someone who is struggling with his faith and is on the verge of taking their own life. I was in that situation before many years ago, and this song kinda spoke to me and I could say it saved my life.
Nine years ago, this song saved my life. A song written by strangers is why I’m here today. If any of you ever happen to read this... thank you.
You ever listen to much Oasis?
I feel the same way about Blind Melon-Change

Love to you
I hope all is well seven months later 💕
It can get better.
I feel you... I completely feel you..
right?? i was 15 listening to this and now that im 20 its so sad seeing how much ive endured and still am enduring. its hard
The thing is this song isn't sacrilegious towards Christianity, it more or less is showing how the singer and other people for that matter have their doubts in Jesus being able to save them because they feel so lost in sin that they cannot be saved and redeemed. It also explains how people want to build a relationship with Jesus but don't know how to and as a result will not recognize him when he comes back. What a fantastic song.
if you actually do some research and not just be a hateful atheist with a personal vendetta on anyone that believes in anything that you believe otherwise, the song is deeper than "religion is bullshit". The singer has religious background when he was a kid and he left it when grew older but still has some sentiments and fears about things. This is a conversation where the narrator is worried about his choices and if everything he believed in was real, would he still be saved. This isn't a shallow hateful song about how religion is bullshit.
Do you not understand that your own bullshit is in the same vein as the other bullshit you're railing against?
Only difference is the other person was actually respectful about their views. You're just being a little douchebag.
+Joe A. Verage yeah okay, but do they act upon it? Did you get stoned to death? Apparently not so I don't see how what you're saying is relevant. The attitude you're displaying is ignorant. Not every religion is worthy of respect? A) Who are you to pass that judgement. B) What else isn't worthy of respect? Political Beliefs, Sports Teams, Race?
Smoke a cigarette and calm yourself dude.
You obviously don't know much about Christianity. I can break it down for you simply, the Old Testament does say things about stoning people that are non-believers, however the Old Testament is only used to show historically how it was before Christ died on the cross. Not to mention God does not exactly enjoy any of those situations. The New Testament is the Gospel that we Christians live by in today's world. Also, the New Testament does not say anything about people being evil just because they do not believe in Christianity. It only merely says that those people are lost and will perish if they do not change their beliefs before Christ returns. Honestly, as Christians it's actually our duty to try to save as many people as we can before it's too late. None of us are perfect or feel above anyone else just because we believe Christ died on the cross for our sins. It does not entitle us to anything, we still have to maintain a relationship with God in order to attain eternal life with Him and it's even more than that. Anyways, I pray you my friend to change your mind on this subject or at least explore the aspects of Christianity before you accuse it of so many vile things. Thank you.
There is such thing as Satan you do know that? And also God gives people free will. And to answer what you said, Psalm is part of the Old Testament. As far as Luke 16:17 he is referring to the Ten Commandments, which yes is still supposed to stand until today. I suppose you were right, there are definitely lessons and teachings in the Old Testament that still are around today. But the way people were punished changed since then due to Jesus dying on the cross. Once again, Matthew 5:17 is referring to the Ten Commandments and other teachings, yet not the way that people are punished for being non-believers. That is not a Law in Christianity. Anyways, there is no point in arguing with you because you are too stubborn to see my perspective. I can most definitely see yours as I used to not think that God cared about anyone or anything. I will pray for you.
This song is for Eric Mcbride. The love of my life who I was lucky enough to hold for 9 years who is now gone. I can still hear his guitar play this song sometimes. I will miss that man forever. I love you Eric.. I hope you're at peace finally.
RIP. I'm sorry, hope you find your peace.
While people are talking about there favorite lines in the song. "And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?" So beautifully poetic. Thomas had to see Jesus' hands after He had risen to believe it was really him. If Thomas asks to see your hands at the gates, this could be a metaphor for the sins that are on your hands and if you will be accepted into heaven after Thomas inspects them and considers Jesus' on the cross a proper payment for cleaning your hands. Just beautiful.
Thank you for this interpretation
Wow... didn't think of that
Wow I never put that together
I wanna talk shit about how weird it would be for a biblically accurate depiction of an angel to be called "Thomus." .....but I can't. This song is so beautiful that it makes me think it's possible...and my God this song is so simple..but amazing 👏
Relax bro it’s about life slowly killing you and how do you midagate it? And the answer is you don’t it’s life every person does it no way to avoid it, some get out early that’s all.
Love Jesus Christ and Brand New. Love their collaboration

+Kaylee Jameson this is my favorite comment ever.

Love to see people still revisiting this song in the comments it makes me feel less alone
God bless
We are family, even when we don't know it.
''Do I divide and fall apart? Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark,''
we all got wood and nails , meaning we all have potential to nail someone up mentally, verbally and in Jesus's case physically, but without his self sacrifice we wouldn't have forgiveness
I don't understand
Very well put bud amen
@@williamsong3108It's a metaphor. Idk if ppl genuinely believe that the soul of god entered a person, that Jesus will rise again. But if u think of it in literary terms, archetypes of the bible n whatnot, it all makes sense
One night, after my brother shot himself in the temple, I found this song on his FB profile. I couldnt listen to any other song for days. Evey time I hear it, even 9 years later, I get goosebumps. This song is beautiful.
Thats terrible to hear. I lost my brother in 1994 when I was 14 and all this time later its still there. It never goes away, you just kinda learn to live with it. I hope you find strength to carry you through the years ahead!
Maybe it should have been me instead of my brother. Last online 11 years ago.. but still my Steam friend.
@@marcofdelos thank you, I agree, the pain never goes away.
@@TheJeremyKentBGross I'm sorry to hear you lost your brother. Please stick around!
The man made a great edit about Jesus Christ. I strongly recommend you to watch it. :)

This is the first time I've actually analyzed the lyrics to this song. "Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark." Such a powerful phrase. The paradox that we all have good and evil within us, but sometimes we allow the darkness to take over. Hence, the devil and God are raging inside me. Such a beautifully written song.
Nathan McKitrick I completely agree with you. The first time I heard this song I got chills
Nathan McKitrick so true
Nathan McKitrick Brand New has that ability. Their older stuff is amazing too.
Nathan McKitrick my favorite part
The bright of positive is too weak to take away the negative of dark that's what I get out of it.... depression is something he writes about in a lot of their songs
"And I will die all alone. And when I arrive I won't know anyone." Never in my life have I ever heard social anxiety summed up so well in a song lyric.
I appreciate you
You nailed it my friend
The only song that helps me deal with the crushing feeling of being alone
do you believe you're missing out like everything good is happening somewhere else?
amazing lyric
Those lyrics are getting to me
I agree :-)
That lyric alone just keeps punching me in the back of the head
+Meghan McNally every word to this song is perfection...
This whole song is beautiful. First time I heard it I cried
"Jesus christ im alone again
so what did you do those three days you were dead?
cuz this problems gonna last
more than the weekend..."
brand new has amazing lyrics in their songs, this one has been hitting me hard for years.
;-;
Jesus went to hell for those three days and Jesus being Jesus managed to save those in hell and when Jesus left hell , only 3 were left in hell. Harod, Cain, and Judas. I would say that was rather a very intentional and personal ..
I have spent far more than 3 days dead. At one point I was dead for 6 years. I have died too many times.
@@CalamitousJonathan i really fell you
Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me John 3:16 John 3:17
Amen
He died for us when He didn’t have to.
You don't have to believe in anything to appreciate this beautiful song.
jamesl9. on point
jamesl9 true
@Big Smoke Depends on the person, honestly
My friend doesn't like emo band front men singing due to their voice for some reason..... Maybe she knows it would turn her emo again
@Big Smoke I disagree completely
I've had this song on repeat all day
It's one of those days I guess
I live in Orlando, how sad
Having that day today
one of those black days, brother. keep loving no matter what.
Will Lozinak word from 2018
Today's one of those days
I avoided this song for the past 12 years because it reminded me too much of my ex and the good times we shared together. It nice to listen to it again. Hope you’re doing well Jaime, thanks for the memories
I can relate so hard.
This is one of the best albums lyrically that I've ever heard.
Definitely up there. some absolutely timeless lyrics. I would put the lyrics of this album and some from deja equal with just about anyone, including paul simon, Connor oburst, etc. Just unbelievably poetic and personal. They describe feelings and thoughts you didn't even totally understand you had until you heard them laid out so completely.
Ryndan Riley Exactly.
Also the name of the album itself "The Devil and God are raging inside of me" just shows how much lyricism there is.. I love Brand New man..
jesus christ thats a pretty song
harlequingurls shhhhhh
harlequingurls As it should
I wish I could heart this ❤️
@Big Smoke Im sure it doesnt matter if you are a theist, atheist or agnostic. Musical talent happens in all walks of life and inspiration can be born out of love, hate, existential issues, etc. which all humans go through.
@Big Smoke Any atheist or just anybody that doesn't believe in jesus christ? Cause most ppl in the world don't.
Discovered this song shortly after being arrested. Was out awaiting court dates, facing many felony charges. Had ankle monitor on too. I thought I was looking at serving some time. The second line got to me. it goes, "If they don't put me away, it'll be miracle" Well i got damm near a miracle. 6 months on work furlough and some probation. Got to keep my kids.. that was 2 yrs ago. Tough time
I'd be really interested to hear more of this and how you're doing now, 3 years later
I'm Christian (more specifically from Iraq - Chaldean/Assyrian). And I don't even care if the person is an Atheist. This song is still powerful and meaningful. I sometimes cry during this. I like how he's having a conversation with Him.
doesn't matter if he's an atheist. In this song, he seems really agnostic. and with my OCD, i'm always thinking about thoughts like this bc i get scared too. We all can.
yeah that's what I'm sayng. Christians and Atheists can have these thoughts too.
im Christian and i get these thoughts as well
+WinterMoonxX It doesn't matter what the writer's religion is. It matters what the song means to you. The best artists let the listener make their own interpretation and don't dictate how to read their work. Sure, they can say what they meant, but they will appreciate someone else's vision of it too.
+WinterMoonxX I just want to say that I am an Atheist and I completely agree with you. Thanks amigo.
This song + raining hard + warm blanket = perfect
Sounds like a perfect afternoon
Literally what I'm doing right now.
does it include u bb
It's been pissing down rain today. I know what to do when I get home. Might cry one out real quick too. Fuck I hate going to the hospital.
The rain is the best...
this is my most relatable song as it speaks on inner conflict and doubt in God. just know that when you are done doubting him he will always be there for you. unlike your friends, unlike your family, he will always take you back with no resentment or judgement . my life is like a montage of me pushing him away and i hope one day soon i can swallow whats left of my pride
Bro that's where I'm at two. Iv literally traveled the country and the WORLD sharing " the gospel " but Jesus has never actually, legitimately been real to me. I thought it was, I desperately wanted it to be, but ultimately not. Now I haven't gone to church in 2 years and have completely walked away from everything that has to do with any religion, let alone the Bible ect. But something deep inside tells me I need to go back and give it an honest shot.
Thats how I am. Im an agnostic theist. I just dont know. And i just feel im too full of sin to be saved.
@@Cookie0927 That’s actually the only sin that can totally keep you from salvation, but it takes a lifetime to commit it. It’s called “blasphemy against the Holy Ghost” and to commit it, you have to stop believing you can be saved. The tricky part with it is that if you ever come around and repent, it proves that you didn’t really believe you couldn’t be saved, so you never really committed the unforgivable sin in the first place… it’s a paradox. You can go to God, it’s okay. But you’ll probably be better off in a church that has over 2,000 years of theological rationalism and mystical tradition, so… you’re better off Catholic or Orthodox. No offense to cradle Protestants but your theology takes the deep and layered landscape of the Gospel and presents it as a 2D map.
@Swanky, except he is never there for you? Like ever. It's just the thought of "Jesus being there for you". If you get cancer, will he heal you if the doctors can't? If real bad things happens to you, will he answer your prayers? My parents who lived their entire life for christ have witnessed early death and sickness and seemingly malicious misfortune in the lives of their children, despite their desperate prayers for years.. These days they are just heartbroken and will say they don't understand and refuse to speak about it. I witnessed far too many cases like that, unanswered prayers when it just doesn't make any sense. Jesus supposedly healed everyone when he was on earth, and made very bold promises about prayer, so why doesn't he do that anymore? How is he there for you, really?
@@tomveres5043 I know the pain. I see so much sickness, fear, loss, unfairness around the entire world. But healing and home on earth is not guaranteed. Biblically, this world is wicked and dying. Our hope is leaving this world behind.
You know what's crazy about this song? At about 4:15 when the song fades out and returns again, the pause and continuation is symbolic of the resurrection. I am not someone who has 'found god', but that is mighty powerful.
I heard that it's better to find God, before God, finds you. ?.

@@TRAMP-oline hey I was just wondering about what I had heard someone saying to another .. I'm still wondering which way would be better.. I guess it would depend on the moods..
For some reason, this song follows me like an old ghost of a friend, always returning each year, always right around Christmas… Anyone else? Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face…

@@jamesteague_1 Like clockwork
this is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎹
It's impossible to quote a single lyric of this masterpiece. You don't know where to end the quote, so you end up writing down the lyrics in their entirety.
Brand New is so good! But you need to listen to Winding Roads by SLT right now!!! You are missing out! :)...
every time i listen to this song I cry like a baby. Help me Jesus.
He loves you dearly.
That guitar riff melts my heart, every single time. 2016, and everyone below is still debating what the message of this song is saying. I love that.
I didn't know what it was that caught me but the guitar riff def has a hold on part of me.
I think it’s safe to say, after 14 years, this is my favorite album of all time. I’ve probably listened to it front to back at least 500 times and each time I get something new out of it. It’s been there for me through the darkest and loneliest of times. Thank you, Brand New. For this masterpiece.
Everyone needs to have this fantastic album
I've struggled with God all my life. I've went from agnostic to Christian to back to agnostic. I feel like God's ruined my life. But at the same time I take blame. please pray for me
Religion is stupid. Trust me I was religious for 15 years and even studied for priesthood before agnosticism. Atheism is too certain for my taste, I don't know anything for sure.
its always good to believe that theres SOMETHING there.
Quattro, I know how it is man. The best words of advice I can give you would be to not hold back. Get closer to God and gain an understanding of how he works. When you do you won't feel as though he ruined your life - trust me. Remember that it doesn't matter how badly you've fawked up in life Jesus will always pick you back up if you come to him. I know because I keep doing so and I am really grateful for that.
TheBartExperience Thanks for the encouragement bro
***** thats the life of a christian. just keep believing in good and he will help you
No matter how much I listen to this song, I can never seem to get bored of it.
Me either, that’s what makes it great. Try Russian Circles.

He will come like a thief in the night, but he will come on white horse on the clouds of glory. You won't miss it.
All shall get on their knees and bow their heads
How will we not miss it if he comes like a "thief in the night?"
I used to listen to this in high school back in 2008-2010. I don't think I really understood the lyrics like I do now, after I've been saved and know Jesus as my personal Lord, saviour, friend. He's real. You don't need to be 'good' before you come to Him. Good works can never save you. That's why He had to die. Come as you are. Only He can change your heart and clean up your life.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
This is the most powerful song I've heard from Brand New. By far my favorite. Its like he wrote a letter to god, and told him about his fear. This song is as good as gospel. And you don't hear that too often.
My bright is too slight to hold back all my dark

3:09 - 3:43 those lyrics are so damn deep... I will never stop listening to this song .. ever
It's simply a beautiful song. No matter who you are or what you do in life it all ends the same way. Life is to short to dwell on materialistic and frugal things. Every second you take a breath you are dying.
totally agree

+Stephen Jones nahh dude, it really, isn't you shouldn't think of it like that, embrace it and fulfill your calling, be happy, just think hard on who you are and what you want and you will see.

+Stephen Jones "Every second you take a breath you are dying". No sentence in history has ever made me feel so comfortable and carefree. Realising nothing matters, everything lacks purpose is true freedom.
I Recently celebrated 5 years of sobriety, this album was a consistent presence in my early sobriety. The most difficult period of my life...This album, this song, was something to hold on to when I felt like letting going and giving in.
5 years on; Still sober, still alive... and still listening to this album.
Same bro. 4 months off heroin and this song helps when I want to give
Good for you.

ricky kondian it’s great to hear you found your faith. 🙌
Jesus Christ, that’s a pretty face
The kind you’d find on someone that could save
If they don’t put me away
Well it’ll be a miracle
Do you believe you’re missing out
Everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night’s hard to get through
And I, will die, all alone
And when I, arrive, I won’t know anyone
Well Jesus Christ I’m alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead
'Cuz this problem’s gonna last
More than the weekend
Well Jesus Christ, I’m not scared to die
I’m a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot
Do I float through the ceiling
Do I, divide, and fall apart
'Cuz my bright, is too sly, to hold back all my dark
And the ship, went down, in sight of land
And at the gates, does Thomas, ask to see my hands
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time alone, to hold my lions at bay
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up(and you won't know)
So do you think that we could work out a psalm
So I’ll know it’s you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you’re coming for the people like me
We all got wood and nails, we try n’ tear down hate and factory
We all got wood and nails, don’t tear down hate n’ factory
We all got wood and nails, and we sleep inside of this machine
“But I’ve had some time alone, to hone my lying technique.”

damn man
Damn dawg SUVs are just rolling over sporadically now. Fuck this, Im getting a car holmes.
Glad you're okay.
Amazing my car rolled a month ago , and walked away with nothing but a bruise
Fail to understand the fact that at 27...this band still makes me feel the same way as i did as a lovedrunk teenager...its fucking golden nuggets of poetry on silken vocal cords that capture the imagination and sense of empathy
Man, I discovered the band in 2003 and love it immediately, but it's only now that I'm in my mid thirties that I truly enjoy them and their lyrics...
August 2024 listeners? Still coming back after all these years. Keep the band alive like they kept us all alive all this time.
jesus christ died for our sins for us to be saved thats real love jesus is king of kingz
how does that make it the wrong band for him? Everyone has their interpretations of this song. Thats why Its so good.
This band seriously need some more recognition. This song and this whole album are fucking genius.
Selling out shows in 30 minutes is pretty good recognition I'd say. lol
2022. I'm 36. Still my favorite song. I empathize with their music still to this day.
Brand New is so good! But you need to listen to Winding Roads by SLT right now!!! You are missing out! :)...!!!!!!
i see a lot of people interpreting the song in the comments, so i wanted to give it a go.
for me, this song is about someone who wants to kill themselves, but doesn't have a very good relationship with god or isn't sure that they believe in god, and is scared what will happen afterwards. like, they're saying "god, i don't want to live anymore, but i'm too scared to die, because what comes after could be worse than what's here."
that's just my interpretation though, and it's probably a lot different than what this song means to the person who wrote it. that's what makes music great, that it means something different to everyone! :)
Beautiful interpretation. My feelings exactly.
+the 1975 I think it's a perfectly solid interpretation. Especially with the beginning about how he's going to die all alone... Loneliness is a strong motivator for suicide.
+the 1975 I interpreted it very similar to this, but rather than someone who wants to commit suicide, but someone who is having an existential crisis and is thinking about death and is wondering and is a little fearful about what happens next.
+the 1975 me
I dont think he is really talking about suicide but death itself. When he says i know your coming like a thief in the night implying unexpectedly.
this song makes me feel so weird i dont understand but i get a tight feeling in my stomach like something is wrong but still feels right...
Anyone else think of this song a different way now?
"Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face, the kind you'd find on someone that could save.
If they don't put me away, it'll be a miracle."
Now you just know where all the self-loathing and fear came from that is in these lyrics..

the kind of song (& band) that changes something in you honestly
"I know you think that I'm someone you can trust , but I'm scared I'll get scared and i swear I'll try to nail you back up". That is an amazing verse of honesty and humility , simply profound.

I used to listen to this song on repeat a few years back sitting in my dark and gloomy room wondering what the purpose of my life was. Lost and confused in a dark and eerie world. fast forward to the present and I’ve been set free from sin by Jesus Christ. The world will continue to hate the light, they’ll say they stand for justice & love while tearing apart all that love truly stands for. But I will not and I cannot. I’d imagine some lonesome stragglers will scroll through the comments on this video expecting to find someone like me to hurtle insults towards. But that’s alright. Turn to Christ & begin to walk on the path of true love.
How does one find Jesus christ? That is the real question. How does one come to terms with not knowing what to believe? Why is it so hard for some to find God and for others it's attainable? The thought of christ intrigues me but the thought of their being nothing after death seems even more wholesome. Just my personal belief, I've tried to connect with Jesus many of times and everytime end up short handed. Is it bad that I'd prefer nothingness than an afterlife? Could God truly blame me for being weary of his existence when I haven't found any real reason to put forth the contrary? Jesse was somewhat right on his part in saying "do you think we could work out a sign, so I know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try." But even then I don't know if I'd want to try, it feels like a burden, a weight on one's shoulders.
The Holy Spirit without a doubt spoke through them with this song. It is so beautiful ❤️
the Spirit moves in mysterious ways like the wind you just never know just free flows as it wills to be as it be ..
I used to listen to this CD on repeat all the time , so much that my fiancé began to enjoy some of the songs even though he never liked this genre of music. This was his favorite song by brand new. I’d catch him listening to it on his own time too. He passed away a few months ago and every time I play this song I can’t help but get this intense sickening chill inside me thinking of him when I listen to the words in this song.
This song has always been there for me through the hardest of times. The feelings that move through me while listening to this song is healing, nostalgic, painful, and yet beautiful at the same time.
Back in October of 2011, my grandmother, who was like another mother to me, was in the hospital dying of cancer. On our way to the hospital, I sat in the back of the car with that sinking feeling in my stomach.... That feeling of knowing it was the last time I would see her, and hear her voice. The drive there, I listened to this song on my ipod.. Sadly, that was the last time I got to see her alive. She smiled at me and told me she will always love me and be with me. It's been a long time since I heard this song and hearing it again just reminds me of that painful, rainy, evening drive to the hospital. 😔
this is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎹🎶🤘
Not all good, not all bad - somewhere in between. I think that’s true for most people. I’m 32, I definitely believe in something beyond all of this, greater, more infinite and it’s place where everyone is redeemed and every relationship is as real as it was always meant to be. Maybe it’s my wishful thinking, but it’s not a place that needs to be earned, it’s there when it’s time and when you’re ready.
Love people here as much as you can, and remember the flip side, where the light is living and possibilities are endless. Peach and love from Seattle, WA ⭐️

Yeah. Like Jesus Christ.

What sucks is when you realize were just as non important as the ants you step on, on a daily basis and realizing this song was so much more beautiful when you still had hope...sigh
I come back to this song at least once a year to feel that feeling of hearing it for the first time right when I needed to :)
This song has so much meaning to so many people for different reasons!
Brand New is so good! But you need to listen to Winding Roads by SLT right now!!! You are missing out! :)...!!!!!!
Its seems as if my whole life this song has been so fucking relevant.
Right
Ummm... that doesn't quite make sense. If the song is relatively new how could it have been relevant your whole life if the song didn't exist for the duration of your entire life?
Yep cause 8 years is still new
God I love peach shakes fruity shakes mmmmm
***** what we've been missing is a brunette commenting on youtube.
Here today after a very hard night. But im here. I first heard this song years ago... it brings back all those feelings I had back then. All the memories I felt with this song. Back then it got me through. And now again I sit here listening to it after I got through... Stay strong people, you will get through this day. This night.♡
this is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎹🎶🤘
April 16, 2020. Listening from Canada, feeling every lyric. I'm a little messed up but this song puts me back together🙏. Every. Single. Time.
Everytime I’m in a dark place this is where I come too..
I find myself coming back to this song when life gets too tough to handle
Brand New is so good! But you need to listen to Winding Roads by SLT right now!!! You are missing out! :) ;;;
Does anyone else feel like its a deep breath when the music stops and you think its over but it starts again? i love that part sooo much
It's so funny because I always used to skip the music at the end and just go back to the beginning and listen to it again but today for the first time I really listened and appreciated that pause and the music at the end. It's that moment of a deep breath like you said and a bit of cleansing after the wild ride of the rest of the song. So perfect.
Eyes swell up literally the second the first chord hits...the instrumental alone could have that effect. Goodness.
All I want is to go to heaven and be with my beloved king Jesus Christ and finally be at peace and free of never ending suffering. However I'm still young and as such most likely have decades left before that happens and so until then I'll continue to endure and struggle till my time comes. Never give up because Jesus Christ never did and compared to his trials and tribulations our own hardships are utterly miniscule..

I don't even believe in a god but i really love this song.
+Nausherwan Tirmizi how so?
The upside down cross was from when Peter, Jesus's greatest disciple (and sort of the first pope) was crucified, and he felt so unworthy to be killed in the same manner as Jesus that he asked to be crucified upside-down.
If anything, the upside-down cross is a strong symbol of piety, not heresy.
Dino Con My bad, it wasn't an upside down cross. It was an upside down crucifix, which has a demonic meaning.
Dont really agree with that , it may not be about religion but it sure does speak to faith . Its about someone who is honest about his failings and yet still speaks to hope . The subject being Jesus is never cast in the negative , but the person singing is still asking those questions that need to be asked and is honest in his assessment of what his place is . Its a truly beautiful song.
he's playing hide and seek with his origins, yeh?
I heard they don't really play this live an awful lot but when I saw them in April this year they played it, unfuckingbelievable!!
I've always understood this as a song about someone who is struggling with his faith and is on the verge of taking their own life. I was in that situation before many years ago, and this song kinda spoke to me and I could say it saved my life.
it's a blessing ypu are still with us
Whose still listening in 2019?!
Always
Yep
Always reminds me of being a lost teen rather than a lost adult
I am!!
