Lyrics
Happy hurts sometimes
Blame it on the monsters in my mind
I keep getting better at slowly getting worse
What’s wrong with me when happy hurts
This on again, off again temperamental affection
For my darling depression is making me go mad
I hear there’s a fine line between crazy and sad
But I can’t tell a difference up close
There’s a lot of us, you know, ill and undiagnosed
But I don’t need a piece of paper to tell me what I already know
I’m not alright, for tonight can we let that be alright?
Pick the battle up again in the morning light
And I’m fighting so hard
To come out of the dark
Trying to turn off the night
Finally let in the light
Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history
A little less victim, a little more victory
So today I feel okay, guess it was all just in my head
I just need to try harder I guess
Everyone else in the world seems to be doing alright
Yeah I’m alright- for tonight- can we let the pain and the happy mix?
Can the two co exist, the beauty next to the mess
Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest
And if that makes me crazy, the numbers don’t lie
But I don't call that crazy, I call it being alive
If I had to pick between the way that I am
And the way that everybody else seems to pretend
I wouldn't consider it, not for even a second
Between psycho and sanity it’s not even a question
My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin, they just let the light in
My favorite parts of myself seem to make the least sense
All the cracks in my skin let the light in
No matter how hard I try, I find myself back with this song.
"Trying to make my misery just a piece of my history.
A little less victim,
A little more VICTORY."
This is one of my favorite quotes ever as a survivor.
How are you after a year or so?😊😄 we survivors must stand together🙄
Yeah
I am an adult survivor of child abuse... :heart: God is good. This is for His glory.
I'm pretty close to getting " Victim < Victory " tattooed on my inner bicep 👏👏👏
Stand together don't let the demons take u
i actually love the video as well as the song.. like, low budget video still rocks more than most of other people's super expensive videos
It's nice, but my animation teacher would be very disappointed if I gave him this.
Because this isn't animation...
Well it is, it's called stop-motion animation...
Yes, stopmotion and not a proper animation... I think your teacher doesn't teach you to stopmote...
those mv are filmed so disgusting and retared
It's like she sang everything I couldn't put into words
use music to express your self and try to find little things that make you happy.
@@qwertyman459 wellp the song is about expresing to others what hurts and making u happy by embracing bad things and noticing good stuff
i listen to songs and sometimes dont understand. so thanks for explaining it.
Yesss
I live with MDD,( major depression disorder) PTSD( Post traumatic stress disorder ), and BPD, ( Borderline personality disorder). I have been through an F4 tornado, bullies, been in a children's home, have had my own mother put me in jail for something I didn't do and ruled innocent, been abused by my dad, and am a child of an ugly divorce. ICON FOR HIRE, YOU HELP ME FIGHT TO STAY ALIVE. THANK-YOU ARIEL FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I AM NOT ALONE.
Lauren May I’m so sorry about that. This might sound mean but I say this with support and respect, I hope one day you get a better life soon
I have BPD and other shit like you ontop of it. Listening to this song made me burst out crying...
I have ptsd, mdd, ocd, anxiety and bpd type 2, grew up with countless "challenges" & suffered more as a young adult Icon For Hire's music beautifully encompasses what it truly feels like when you're locked in one of those loops, knowing it's a loop but unable to do anything more about it. When simply existing and breathing consume your processes and become such a struggle. Lots of love to all and extra love to those, like us, who suffer any form of mental illness we are individuals fighting individual battles but as this band demonstrates so well, we are not alone.
I've been there I was raped b thg my dad beaten by my mom
😂
I really love Icon For Hire. It seems that they're the only band who can describe me so perfectly, that's incredible and amazing at the same time!
the only other band that makes me feel like this is From Ashes to New.
Uhm I don't know them, I'm going to discover this band :D
Jay Gaskarth yay!
I love From Ashes to New! Just discovered them two months ago. I listened to their album on repeat about 4 times right when I found them.
lmccoy08 Do you know Papa Roach or In This Moment?
You Can't Kill Us may just their best album yet. Not as much because of the music, more because of the lyrics.
"What's it gonna take to break us? What's it gonna take to make us wake up?"
"When you take the sick away, who am I supposed to be?"
"I ain't under your thumb, I ain't stuck in your shadow, I'm on top of the world up here fighting my battles."
"We talk a big game like we wanna get well, in our prison made of pain, only fooling ourselves."
"The cracks in my skin only let in the light."
I chose my favorite quotes from each song in this album so far.
I completely agree! The lyrics in the songs they've wrote since leaving the label have been their best. They're very upfront and honest.
This is truly Icon For Hire at their best!!
the songs literally speak to you, this is my favorite album so far, so glad I preordered on kickstarter.
One of my favorite lyrics ever from them is in this song. "Can we let the pain and the happy mix? Can the two coexist? The beauty next to the mess? Because I swear I have them both already beating in my chest. If that makes me crazy, the numbers don't lie. But I don't call that crazy, I call it being alive." It highlights a truth about life I think we as a society try to deny too much: that it's okay to be sad sometimes. No one can be happy all the time. We all have our breaking points, we all need to cry sometimes.
Frankly, I hope they come back with that passion they made you feel in Scripted. Because yeah, lyrics have always been Ariel's strength, but I couldn't find that raw passion and energy from Scripted in the self-titled album, only in a select few songs like Rock n Roll Thugs or the chorus of Sorry About your parents. This song is truly passionate and the lyrics are indeed awesome as always, I just hope they keep it going like that.
This and "under the knife " got me to stop cutting thank you deeply icon for hire ! I love you guys
In my family, talking about mental illness or sexualities is kind of tabu. I've lived with depression and a social anxiety disorder, never knowing that I was ill and that I could get help indeed. So I never quite understood this whole topic, until I found out about my problems recently, now I finally find the true meaning of this song and all of the previous ones, and let me tell you, they help, they make a remarkable change in the way I see my mental health. I don't feel alone, or left behind, or uninformed about it. So, thanks Icon For Hire, you are indeed making a difference, you are amazing musicians. Thank you.
And to all of you, talk with your family, tell them about how you feel, if you think you have depression or anxiety or OCD, you can get your life back. Don't keep it inside you, it'll be worse.
I know the feeling. I just don't know how to tell my parents I have S.A.D, paranoia and anxiety. They already know about my ADHD and dislexia, so that's a good thing.
You gotta tell 'em. S.A.D. is the worst out of all, believe me.
+Renée Scarcella I don't know how to tell them.
Yea. and even when you are getting help, even taking meds, it doesn't take it all away. I still struggle, but I won't give up. like you said we aren't alone :)
Preach It GIRL!
this song, among others, helped me thorough the darkest part of my life. Now that I am past them, I look back and see what in impact this music can have on anyone that needs that little nudge to say '"you may be broken, but that's fine"
the line "all the cracks in my skin let the light in" really got me ❤❤❤
Pills never worked for me, anti depressants, therapy, or just trying to find something that makes me feel happy, never worked. This song seems to help me alot while I'm listening and i love you guys for that.
The first twenty seconds had me in tears....I don't feel this way right now, but I can remember the times when I did, and this song hits the nail right on the head. Thank you so much icon for hire for expressing the deepest parts of our souls into beautiful music. I just wish the whole world knew who you are.
Why are you guys all so fucking talented? I just relate to this song so much, and usually I like your more loud and intense stuff like Rock and Roll thugs and Bam Bam Pop, but every once in a while you write something like Hope of Morning or this song that just resonates with me. Honestly, I just love your music so much!
Olivia Lockett Yeah, I see it. And watch me was pretty good too.
Olivia Lockett Yeah, the electro rock and pop rock are always my favorites, with a couple more mellow exceptions that I also love.
ikr i agree
This comment is sent from God. 😂
Meme lol😂😂😂
Thank you Icon for this song. It almost seems like it was written about my wife. A beautiful and awesome woman who is fighting to find her happiness after loosing both of her parents Oct. 2015. As a loving and caring husband, i watch her daily suffer to fight for happy...and happy seems to just be lost. truthfully, this song brought me to tears because it puts everything i see in her out into words...this song alone has gained 2 new fans of your band. much love and greatest wishes from Memphis, TN
awww *hugs you*
Me: "Look! a new IconForHire song! Hype!"
5 secs later
*Crying* "I was not prepared".
Just heard this band for the first time today and I’m so glad I found you! Literally crying rn. Thank you!!
A truly beautiful song hits deep icon army much love ❤ rock on 🤘
.....As a mother and someone who has a husband that loves me to pieces,I feel this down to my soul. Struggling to be happy when you find happiness is hard when you have depression. Faking a smile on bad days,finding the courage to get up and play with your son,or be with the one you love (to feel worthy of the one you love), they are all hard. Bad memories always have the habit of circling you,and even when you achieve happiness,they don't go away. You just learn to live with them. I can say I am happier than I've ever been in my life but fight everyday to be who I'm supposed to,and on my bad days I listen to you guys. You guys get me though~ Thank you.
This song hits home...
This is such a beautiful song. "A little less victim, a little more victory" great lyric for people with a dark past or ptsd...
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds 🎶 it reminded me of that song ❤️ I love how they make these songs for us, the fans ^-^ thank you Icon For Hire :') one of my fave bands
LOVE this song!
The song you're thinking of is "Sorry About Your Parents" :)
Krysten Koenig yeah, i've been told xD thanks, guys :)
After years of hurting myself, hiding myself and my depression from my parents I exploded and told everything to my mom, she was hurt and scared looking at me like that. I'm finally getting help, thanks for helping me stay alive with your music, please never stop helping those who need it and those who think they don't
Hey loves! I've got a blog post semirelated to this song here, if you're interested: www.customcatastrophes.com/blog/2016/6/25/the-emo-kid-in-me-is-alive-and-well
xoxo, Ariel
Amazing ! Everything in this song is so powerful and crazy even the lyric video aspect. It resonates deeply with me keep doing music i love you so much !
my fourth grade teacher got us a signed poster from you guys .. YOUR SO AWESOME ARIEL!! and i relate to this song so much..
+Peirce_The_Sunny Smith hey I know you.
Frnk's Oreos lol i know ^-^
Don't forget to put lyrics on the description as well, it is handy XD
This song describes me perfectly.
Olivia Lockett it made me cry tbh
Every person with deppression didn't know if he or she should enjoy it or cry over it
Patrycja Trendak i did both haha
Yeah, the same for me. It speaks to me in such a way that it feels like they wrote it for me.
Rares Zaharia Lefter Icon's music tends to do that. :3
This is one of my favorites. It's hard to describe to someone being sad when logically they think there shouldn't be one. Yea you could have a good job, make good money, basically nothing to complain about right? But, the hurt is still there for some reason. It's a duality within you that contradicts itself.
This video is Excellent!!
Everything about it is very good. Nice 🥰☺️☺️
I am loving this music, I only just discovered it tonight. I am 36 and have struggled with mental illness for most of my life. A few years ago I experienced a solid remission of most of my depression symptoms and since then I've been doing really well, but being armed with the kind of self-talk you need to arm and strengthen yourself, some songs to fall back on and to see words of encouragement from others who have experienced the same struggle, and even maybe lend some encouragement to people who are still in the pit - that's wonderful. It's awesome that that can come from a song
I can't describe how much I love you guys and your music. Wish you'd play outside the US.
"Make my misery just a piece of my history little less victim a little more victory" That hit home.
This band literally is my saviour!❤
For those that dont have the experience to see this connection. This song embodies a lot of us military veterans. I have shared this song and others by Icon in vet groups and it echos across all of our differences. This is us.
"my favorite parts of myself make the least sense"... That applies so deeply to me, I got it tattooed on my arm...
I freaking adore you. Your songs are literally saying exactly how I feel. It's like, when I listen to a song from Icon For Hire, I feel a bit at ease. You guys are so underrated, only 33k and you deserve WAY more than that. Not even 1m is enough. 😍😍
I took ALL that CRAZY and called it BEING ALIVE.... So TRUE ! Be true to yourself. Thank you... I found this and can smile tonite. 😊
Ive been listening to this band since I was 14 so over 10 years and I still love all of their music
My favorite song of all time
I'm glad somebody is finally talking about depression in an honest light.
This band has several songs I can really relate to, never before have I really found a song that just makes so much sense.
Just so beautiful. Love this band!
This brings a lot of emotions, just by the way she writes her letters, and the way she holds the marker
The monster in my mind tells me that I can never trust anyone, even the one friend I have. It lies to me telling me there is no way they even like me. It steals my words when I try to speak. It tries to talk me into never leaving my home. Sometimes it brings a friend over, I don't like that friend. They tell me the world would be better off without me. This band reminds me though that I can't let those monsters win.
the growth on this band is incredible. if i cold only go for a show.
i love you ariel .... this song is amazing ...
Ariel, you've become a teacher and friend to many. God is pleased with your work.
@Icon for Hire: as someone over 40 who is still getting his ass kicked by depression, this song really resonated with me. Songs like this and "Get Well" have been a much needed finger-hold to hang on with.
I just wish I could see you in Springfield. :(
This is quite deep. Great song.
your lyrics and vocals always are so perfect 😍😍😍
This song resonates in my heart so much. Man.
listening to this on repeat crying. never before has a song fit me so well.
Icon For Hire has yet to let me down. Your music will always be great ❤
You inspire me with every lyric you sing with your powerful voice
The lyrics is sooo spot on...
It's hard finding a song that perfectly voices the mental issues fighting inside me... Icon For Hire always has those songs... This puts into words the struggle of day to day
I remember when my parents told me anxiety/depression weren't real. When I tried to voice the EXACT things this song voiced, they didn't believe me until I was inpatient in the hospital for 2 months.
Your songs make such a difference, I wish I had heard this first because my instance occurred 2 months after this was released. Thank you Ariel and Shawn, I wish I never put your music on pause.
This song is the best thing I've ever heard. I've struggled throughout my life with depression, anxiety and such like, and this is the only thing to even come close to expressing my emotions toward life, and it knocked it out of the park. I've listened to this 17 times on repeat so far, and I have no intention of stopping any time soon. Thank you, Icon For Hire. You're amazing
Absolutely amazing, please never stop recording. It's so nice to listen to a group who does what they are passionate about and will not go against what they feel.
I've been listening to this song over and over for the past hour. It just hit home for me. This is where my thoughts have been for the past few months. I was crying at first but then slowly I just began smiling, realizing it's ok to be happy, even if you're hurting inside and feel like nothing is going right. this is my new anthem.
Love this song! Icon For Hire deserves way more credit! Their music makes me feel emotion, unlike 95% of the songs on the radio. This is amazing music! And I LOVE the way this video is done! So creative!
this is by far the best song they've ever written.. it's message is so important!
These lyrics are exactly my life. Thank you guys for being so talented and relatable.
One of my routine songs. Listen to it at least once everyday.
Icon For Hire is amazing
We r still listening.
Happy hurts sometimes... This song is very meaningful.
WHENEVER I SAY "ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY AT SCHOOL TODAY" it really does hurt... Depression isn't something that just go's away whenever you say its going to be a good day it is something that makes you want to give up on good days... Only the depressed can understand depression and thous who are. No one will ever understand how hard it really is to beat...
You guys are really talented, You have a beautiful voice, and you fight for so honnest causes, which is one of the important thing of music. Every music of you makes me doubt in humanity, and calm me down at the same time..
This absolutely hits the nail on the head!! These are the words I've been looking for to describe me.
I'm in love with these lyrics.
favorite so far. Just utterly amazed at the lyrical content and the way it's delivered. WOW.
I have a love hate with your music. I love it and it's so amazing. But it makes me feel a lot of different things and it brings back memories, good and bad.
Much love.
some people say they're dark but they give a really good peak into trying to understand people that are struggling.
this song is one of those that can get to your soul and just make you think about life and stuff. Really beautiful song Icon For Hire. Keep it up. 😊
No one to restraint them, no fear from calling it out like it is. This is what I've been looking for. What we, as people and fans, have been needing. Someone to point out the obvious and say it like it is, instead of filtering the truth. Thank you Icon for hire, you guys are amazing. I love you guys.
I remember back about a year ago. Every emotion brought pain to my heart. Even if I was happy, it felt like sorrow.
I love this song. In addition to therapy, support from my wife and friends, your music let me know I'm not the only person in the world suffering from anxiety. Thank you for battling against the stigma. :)
this song brings to near to tears... I love Icon for hire. ♥
this song is amazing. perfect sound and lyrics for anyone to connect to who has ever struggled with mental illness. beautiful song
well, seems like you will really become my favorite band with all those songs! Thank you all for your talent!
It feels like this song is written in my heart.. It's so relatable.
I see a lot of people here feel the same as me and Icon for hires songs explain how we are battling every day so perfectly!
Icon even takes a simple lyric video and makes it original & enjoyable to watch, AMAZING (just like this song)...can't wait for the rest of the album!!
I love this song. Thank you.
Wow, I relate to this song so much!!
I found this song and band the day my grandfather past away, he was my world he help me so much. It’s almost as if he sent this song and band to me thank you
As always a fantastic song love the energy!
i am so god damn obsessed with this band, started listening from get well and i can not stop listening to every one of your songs!
One of my favourites from the album, beautiful! ♥♥♥
You know, one day I'll be able to listen to this without tearing up.
Not tonight, but one day.
This very well might be my favorite song that you guys have done so far. It's absolutely perfect in every way possible. Thank you for this.
this song is freaking amazing, glad to know others feel how happy isn't easy sometimes. love thisssssss
she speaks my soul
when a song makes you cry, it hits you right in the soul... what a song omg it's crazy how on point this song is... I love it :'(:
This song just simply describes my life and I have loved this song ever since I heard it
Oh, this is so awesome! So much feeling in one song. I love it.
It's so beautiful!!!
This is probably the only song I've ever listened to that I can fully relate to. Only Icon could capture this feeling in a song x
I love that this song is so relatable to all of the things that I feel in life
I feel sometimes you're in my head... All these songs, they get me.
Thank you so much for your music, Icon For Hire. This song is exactly what I needed. Love from Italy 💕
+Olivia Lockett They SO are! I'm glad I was able to discover their music
