- Dear pain, oh, it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tight
I would stay awake with you all night
Dear shame, I was safe in your arms
You were there when it all fell apart
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go
But you're still chasing
Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Dear hate, I know you're not far
You would wait at the door of my heart
I was amazed at the passion in your cries
Dear anger, you made me so high
You were faithful to show up on time
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go
But you're still chasing
Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
You tempted me to look back
But everything that we had together was a lie
Go ahead
You're never gonna take me
You can bend
But you're never gonna break me
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
Go ahead
Put a target on my forehead
You can fire
But you've got no bullet
I was yours
But I'm not yours anymore
Oh, you don't own me
sorry für die langsamen Übergänge später ://
Trotzdem viel Spaß ;)

This is a quote from Kevin (lead singer) about the meaning to the song if ur curious. I feel it adds a bit of depth:
"The Bible tells us that once we are saved sin doesn’t have any power over us. I hear people say they were saved by grace but they still struggle with sin. The Bible says sin has no more control over us when we are born again, we are a new creation. Sin can’t enslave us or manipulate us anymore. So this song is written to our past, dear pain, dear shame, dear hate and dear anger. We are saying to those things you used to have me, own me, and manipulate me but you don’t own me anymore. When we were recording the song, I said it sounds like we are singing to an ex-girlfriend. Then someone said instead of ex, it could be written to the letter x. That way the song can apply to addictions, or other sins that people want this song to address."
Personally, my first thought when I heard this song was for those who suffer from PTSD, and are trying to get through it. Military Brat, if you must ask why.
That's the perfect way to put it actually. There are so many things people struggle with, and they need to realize those problems have no effect over us/them once the Lord is involved
I love this song
I was saved at five and it wasnt long before the devil attacked me. I did not have understanding for a lot of years but I loved God. I back slid for some time and sinned horrendously against God. When I heard this song for the first time i fell to the floor wailing. It was healing to give it all to God.

When I was 7, I lost my mom to alcohol abuse. Plus, my father never showed duo to my birth. And 1 year ago I lived with my grandparents, but my grandpa was abusive to me and my grandma. So we left him and that made me homeless for 1 month. But now I live in a apartment. I am aloud to see my grandpa once again, but now I struggle with the problems of cutting. Last Friday night just was saved and I accepted Jesus christ into my heart. Life is getting better through friends, family and with the help of songs like these. Thank you all for taking the time to read this... and have a awesome day! If you think u are alone and not eanted... u are wrong I care about you. I may not know u but u matter in God's eyes.
AMEN BROTHER
Good stuff man hope for tommorow
Caleb Lindquist I love you man!!! Sry
God bless you more man, that He may reveal His truth to you, and that you may understand it. How are you now?
Rick Vreugdenhil glad ur being kind to this kid for going through hell and back. God Bless!!
I remembered this song in a dream two weeks ago and couldn't remember the name. Now I have found it. Yay
Felt that. Been searching for nostalgic songs/bands and I have arrived here.
I haven't heard the song in a long time then it just got stuck in my head randomly use Google found out the name now I'm listening to it
This was the weirdest comment I've ever seen in my life. Not the content, but because it was my name! I thought, "when did this happen?! And when did I post this?!" Lol. So trippy
Same bestie
One of the best songs to illustrate the transition from emotional intelligence to emotional maturity ☺️
I LOVE THIS SONG! I almost listen to it every night
Growing up with Christian Rock, I loved this song. It's a blessing I remembered Disciple. :)
I have always LOVED this song!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"God didn't give us the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. This goes perfect with that scripture
Awesome powerful song by Disciple. With Christ we are more than conquerors!!!
LISTEN TO THIS SONG? It has got to be THE most intelligent/encouraging,and beautiful oh and ROCk song i have Ever heard. I LOVE this song SO MUCH. I can SOooo relate. WOW! what an awesome encouraging song to LET go of your Anger,frustration, and all the negative emotions that tend to destroy you IF you letem.
Wow I didn't even know this was a Christian song at first but that's awesome. Definitely one of my favorites
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE...
Dear X (You Don't Own Me), by Disciple
Great song by the way and it means technically is “The Bible says ‘anyone who sins is a slave of sin’…Once you move on and embrace freedom, it’s like ‘I have the choice.’
They compare sin to a crazy ex-girlfriend. Once you have Christ, you can say, “I’ve moved on to a new Love.”
I jam out to this song over and over and over again. Never gets old. I think if and when I get a drum set this is gonna be the first song I learn, just that plain awesome!
I love how this song really touches me in the heart cause I'm still struggling with things that I can't control on my own but God is the only one who sees me as I really am to him and everything he sees I want to be for him. This song made me cry last Friday as I saw them at the Recalibrated Tour w/RED and saw them in person. They're awesome guys really. God bless Disciple!
Please capitalize the "H" in Him for God❤
---____---
I've been looking for this song for 3 years
Zion Robison at least you found it right ? :)
Zion you're not the only one
Me tooooooo
Dude
+Zion Robison I would get so lost in your beautiful lies~~
I was a slave to fear and lived with lies and anger but God has set me free! And he will do it again with you. ❤ if you feel like you're lost than pray. God hears you and know your heart! ❤
That moment when raging anger bows low to mighty Peace. When tears of shame are quelled by abiding Forgiveness. When ignorance is given wonderful Council. And when all sins are undone by Hope and Promise.
All I have is Christ.
Kickass way to put it
Amen!
An incredible song. There's not enough music like this.
I think far too much of Christian music concentrates on the meek side of the faith. This song is entirely different, it practically shakes its fist in defiance at the enemy daring him to do his worst. The point being that the devil's worst is nothing next go God's finest.
I agree. Christians shouldn't be defenseless! Attack the devil with all our what we have Being Yahweh amen!
This song has such a cool feel with the cello and vocal parts
Goodness, this masterpiece used to play on my local Christian music station when I was in the 5th grade.... I'm in 11th grade now and 16 currently.... *but this song never left my mind*
*even long after it went off the air....*
Saying "goodness" like that is a short way of using God's name in vain because God is good
This song reminds me that my past heartbreak, the hate, the anger, the pain and the shame. It doesn't own me. It shouldn't own you. Of course we all relapse back to this. At least for me, when my grandpa died, when I was cheated on, when the girl I love turned me down, I came back to this song. Thank you, Disciple for making music my escape again.
You can bend but you're never going to break me ❤❤❤❤❤
Halli Palmer You tempted me to look back But everything we had together was a lie!!
YEEEES say it louder so those in the back can hear
thanks GOD only through you we can conquer all those feelings does not mean that we do not feel them,but we can control them not to hurt anybody.help us to do your will,not our will.we do not believe that we are better than anybody,you lord has pity on us and forgive us and we want to share the peace,hope,and wonderful love that took away my pain and that feeling of been alone.i love you heavenly father
i wish more people would listen to this kind of music... there's no cussing... it's about God... and it's just beautiful (as is most christian music)
Go ahead you put a target on the front end. You can fire but you got no bullet. Thank you God for this song it has helped and thank you Holy Spirit for speaking through it to my sole
I love to play the intro on my cello. Fantastic way to start a great song like this.
This song is so freaking AWESOME!
The first song I've heard by Disciple.
This song can really tie into my past a bit, and it reminds me of how bad society really is, and I love all of Disciple's other songs too, this is a great band. :)
Praise God!!!
+DaSheepKiller
You're triggering me.
+Melonhead your face triggers me
Everyone replace their triggers with ones that can't be pulled! heh.
Every word of this song is so true. LOVE it.
Never get sick of this song
this is basically a story of my life in song. I have finally started to be able to beat this problem and become closer to God. this song has helped me through these problems.
One of my favorite songs. Great band.
This songs amazing, gives me chills everytime, the 66 dislikes are obviously from the deaf that are infuriated they can't hear this unreal song
So true
Disciple is my dads and my favorite christian rock band
What a nostalgic blast from the past.
Kind of obsessed with this song
Fair
Same
I've been through a tough time nowadays but I just discovered this song and now it's my favorite song ever and I'm going to listen to it everyday.
Nice to feel that way brother
This song always seems to cycle around to me right when I need it...
After reading some comments apparently some people didn't make it through algebra and don't understand the concept of "X".
Absolutely in love with this song.
Saw them in Seattle 8 years ago. Awesome! Thank you Lord Jesus for awesome music. Music was created originally to Worship God.
I 100% love this song soo much I have listened to it like a million times and it is sooo good!!!!
Got to hear them at a conference for New Years Eve. It was crazy, but I recognized this song. These guys are awesome!
Disciple is such a good band!
I feel like Anger use to own me because I would get into this rage whenever I got mad sometimes and I wouldn't think and I said somethings probably that I shouldn't have but the past does not define who we are because Jesus does
Sameeeeee
I'm still searching for the song I want, but this is a loved song that got me by through some hardships in the past. Cant believe I forgot about it.
OMG I absolutely love this song I can't stop listening to it !!
this is the best video ever it showed me that sin can chase us even after we let it go
Dear Satan, you don't own me. You were the only one that could cause me to feel this way and I'm here to say you couldn't possibly make me feel this way anymore. So go ahead, chase me. My God is carrying me away from you faster than you can pursue.
Amen brother
Amen !
Yeah like God never felt anger like God never felt hate use just a stupid dumb fuck who's blinded by religion.
Okay then :)
IEmperorChancellor you need Jesus. 😇
I've been going through some personal issues and really listened and believe I got this song for a reason. That reason is GOD and he's saying that NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN HOLD ME DOWN!!!!
First time I heard this song and now I love it! ^-^ Its lyrics hide the truth to what every human goes through at one point or another
4 years later and it still sounds amazing. I'll never get sick of this song
ummm this song really means alot to me it helps me get through those days that i just cant get through by myself..... the message ment for this song probably has ment ment for us one way or an other thank god he chose Disciple to do his minustery thaks for your guy's time.....
I had just discovered this song a few weeks ago and it is already becoming my favorite song.
I love this song so much... let the venting of anger begin!!!
so proud of what God is doing in the life of Kevin Young. I grew up with him @ Alcoa Maryville Church of God and have been privileged to watch the journey God has led him on
God hasn't giving you shit.
Satan, whether in human form or not, you will not win this battle. You corrupted my thoughts too often, you told me cutting was ok, you told me that no one loved me, you told me my family hates me. But no more, you are all lies, pain, shame and anger, and if I can help it you aren't going to corrupt the people that I love most....very, very, very much less me.
+Keiauna Inman Amen to that!
Amen
Good job. you can beat this.
+Keiauna Inman AMEN! Very inspiring to see comments like this with people that I can somewhat relate to. Keep fighting!
+Keiauna Inman this will sound rude but your acts are made only by you,not for an imaginary devil power,if you did it was because you wanted,no satan,no matter the reasons,you did it,but YOU stopped it,only you,so be more proud of yourself than god,please
I have felt all of these things. For seven years I hugged pain enjoy the agony and the anger and hate grew and grew. They controlled me for the lonhest time in the world. I was so unhuman that I was in a trance. Thank god for moving down here to Tennessee and I became a human again, but I still feel those things and I bet they are waiting for me to fall back into their arms.
Thank you for uploading a high quality version!! GO AHEAD PUT A TARGET ON MY FORHEAD!
You are now my hero. It sounds so horrible to live like that. It's amazing to me, when people like you bare it, and keep living your life, no matter how tempting it seems to just end it all. Keep living, Jesus is always there for you. With Him everything will be better. Keep strong your faith, and I promise SOMETHING good is BOUND to happen. You make the world better by pulling through, showing that Jesus shall forever keep us strong.
This song really helps me out whenever I am sad and everythingor whenever I feel heart broken
Seen these guys live at The Underground. It's amazing that they would come to a hangout place to play under a Family Dollar store. This was back around 05-06
i relate to this song 100% rite now, im going through a tough time spirtually and would appreciate your guy's prayers. thanks
Together as one Nation as a Unity we all bleed the same,cry the same we should not be racist we are one divided we fall
United we Stand as one
This song is simply amazing and accurate, as I read the comments i find a mix of believers and those who are in disbelief :) but i think that is wonderful, no matter what the case, we are all here and this is fellowship no matter what! we all have a past no matter who we are or where we are from, and we all feel these pains even if some are not believers. anyways just wanted to say that it makes me happy to see brothers and sisters uniting :)
Enough with the hate comments ok?! Can't we all just listen to the song and know that God will make everything better in time?
Satan, you caused me so many lies, so much anger, pain, and hurt. you made me think that it that it was okay to self harm, even when I devoted myself to Christ. Got me addicted to it. Well no more. You used to hold me tight, but you have no power over me.
Sincerely,
A Jesus Freak
Yeah, 👏👏👏
Fuck Jesus
+Destiny Stokes Amen I was there myself addicted to alcohol, porn and other crap. God is so amazing all I want is to be a Radical for him every second of the day.
+Leonidas Saber I would like for you to say that to his face when you face in on judgment day. And yes you will face him and answer to all your sins. But its not to late to ask him for forgiveness I love you bro and will praying for your soul I promise you I will be praying. my email is tr214030@gmail.com.
+Leonidas Saber Bro
Dear lust you griped my heart with a fist of steel. Dear addiction you held my concentration every day. No more I let you go. It is by God's forgiveness and mercy that you have no power over me. 💪
Powerful words. Just stressful. Feeling better hearing this musical video. Thank you very much. Fantastic video music number.
Still an awesome song! I was incarcerated for a year falsely and this song helps me let go of the feelings. I don't have to be like my accusers. I just have to trust Jesus for peace and his justice. I have been listening to this song many years now.
THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!
No matter what we all have a past....some of us , like me, have sinned more than some people. I'm not proud of my past....but I'm not ashamed because without my past, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Jesus saved my life, and God gives me the strength every single day of my life. God bless you all
The meaning of this song is "Dear [X], you don't own me, I'm over you."
The X is like a variable. In the song, he talks about 4 different emotions and how they don't rule his life anymore.
I remember being a private school church kid hearing this on my moms christian radio in the car at age 12 and thinking christian music was so lame. I was just ready to be 18 and never go to church again and live like the "normal kids". Im 20 now and ive been on drugs and watching xxx daily for years now. Theres nothing normal about vices and addictions, its all fakeness and borderline demon possession. I didnt appreciate this then and thought it was stupid but now i see that trusting GOD is the only way to honestly make it in this world. Im trying to be sober now im approaching a week clean. My addictions dont own me. Hope this helped anyone out there
I can't believe I'm just now hearing this I ❤❤❤❤it
This is one of my favorites from Disciple. They are great live as well. Thanks for posting.
this song is so awesome i can relate to this song. all i can say is god is good
Such a powerful song.
Thanks and praise to God
This song is so true,how cant you relate to this song
Lol truth never fails, it so rightly divides. Woe unto the world so few will be chosen.
Keep your eyes on God. Embrace His love. His love is blind. He'll never stop loving us. I love everybody and hate all sin. May God bless us all.
This song reminds me of my addictions. I remember saying that I let it go, but it was still chasing me. It bent me, but I will not be broken by it. You don't own me
I love dis song
I know many people don't like christian bands and such.. but this is freakin' amazing,
This song makes me cry
Every thought, feeling, doubt, emotion that's negative is from non other than the Devil... Dear Satan you no longer own me, my thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions are not based off of you!!!! You can't break me!!!!! I'm a Child of God! You told me attempting suicide was ok you told me Daddy would hate me for cutting, you told me that if I ran away from Everyone theyd6me happier and safer without me! You made me hateful, fearful and hurt! I will no longer take this!!!!
Dear blades, you don't own me. Ya sure you had me in your power at some point but not now. You used to cut me down but now I have the armor of my God and nothing can cut through that.
I saw them at the Rock and Worship Roadshow in Springfield! It was so freakin fun!
I saw them live yesterday in Logan Ohio!!! they played this song and it was great!
Lucky you.
ah a tate
I'd go see one of my favorite groups like this one, but there's money, which I might be able to get for it, then there's travel, and finally my ears pick up all sounds, so such powerful speakers, people shouting, oh my... I'd have an ear attack. I use ear plugs and meds to sleep. but often hear through the plugs and forget they are in while talking in person. I'll just think "something about the voice is different..." until I realize I have them in, and then I carefully, slowly remove them because the change in sound is incredible. Like from a muted TV to unmuted at 95. So, while I love dogs and cats, they have to be trained not to make ots of noise. Cats tend to be fine, but so many people get a dog, stick it in their yard, and don't train it at all, so constant barking. That literally sent me to the hospital after being unable to sleep for weeks led to severe problems like severe anemia (I had less than 50% of my blood platelets and was even more white than I normally am). Sleep is needed to regenerate cells right, so my stomach wasn't healing correctly, and thus I began slowly having ulcers open up without stopping at all. I began bleesing for months until they did something about it, but I couldn't sleep in the hospital either. Gah. We're moving out to a woody area soon, away from the city, traffic, kids shouting like they are being killed next door (I'd give my life to save kids, but man, who knows if they are in danger if they are always yelling as loud as they physically can. One of them is even 8 years old and does it... EIGHT! I stopped yelling by 2-3.) I pray to Jesus Christ no one ever hurts them, because I wouldn't be able to tell. I also can't see outside due to my eyes being unable to handle sunlight, so I use sounds to locate where things are, and have been able to use echolocation before. So if you have bad ears, just remember that. Everyone seems to want what the other has, and doesn't want the things they do have. So I say, even for myself, be happy for what you have and for what you don't have. Grass is always greener and stuff, right? Oh, before you say "call the police" on them, since the adults do it too, well, my household has done that. It stops them for a day. Doesn't matter how many times it has been. I've even gone over there and asked in the kindest way, and I get "CALL THE POLICE THEN!" shouted at me. I just aked "My parents and I sleep during the day, and can't sleep almost at all. I just wanted to ask if you would lower the volume just by a small amount? Not a lot." Wow, right? Not to mention, through I didn't say this, we own our house, they rent theirs, so when they shouted "MY HOUSE I DO WHAT I WANT" at me, they aren't really right. Besides, you can't just do anything you want in your yard anyway. It's gonna be nice to move. Thank Jesus they got rid of the three dogs that just set each other off all the time.
I was raised from as far back as I can recall, don't irritate people, not your neighbors or people sitting near you in public. Yet in this world, you see the opposite of that. People LOVE to smash that horn in the car. I'd never use it if I could drive, unless it was for an emergency. So in that case, I'd have a crazy strong horn in. I've even in the past been directly hit on foot by a speeding car, which stopped just long enough to see if my body would move, then took off. Of course most of the other people, even the ones that knew I was hit, were honking their horns at me. What has happened to people? I injured my neck in that accident, but I wouldn't want to sue, and since I can't see further than a few inches without glasses, and still cannot read license plates with glasses on, there's no way I'd have seen it, nor remembered it. When you receive that kind of shock, you tend to you know, fail to recall something all strange with upper and lower case characters, numbers, and such like a plate. If everyone had my sight, you could just slam into any pedestrian and slowly drive off without speeding at all. This all makes me want to just... just... punch a bubble! *bubble dies* Ha!
Guys I was born with muscular dystrophy and I used to get so angry that why did it have to be me but now this song plays in my head that muscular dystrophy doesn't own me
That's right! I was born with several genetic disorders and can't even urinate without catheters, but that doesn't own me! It'll all be gone once this body is gone and I am in the spiritual body.
Xenemorph Invasion The right half of my body was paralyzed, and afflicted with muscle atrophy. I spent so much time in hate.. but we are strong! Keep fighting the good fight dude, you rock!
Xenemorph Invasion hallelujah!
Xenemorph Invasion me too buddy. I got muscular dystrophy too. It doesn’t define who we are in Christ. We will be healed in Jesus name.
Good for you!!! Exactly!!!!
I love this song sooo much! Thanx for uploading!
the best Christian band ever!!!!!!
God is a FIERCE protector, seek him and he will deliver you. "The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them." Psalm 34:7
Very Great Song!! Thank You ☺
I think everyone should be able to interpret the song however they want. Whether someone relates it to a person or their unhappy feelings, it still means something to that specific person. If this song makes someone feel like they can relate, then I see no point in a battle of who's right or wrong. Just enjoy the song.
Prayers sent their way, friend!
The lyrics are fire! Helps me with my depression. ❤
love it,its soo good :D
Awesome tune with Awesome lyrics!
