"Just leave me lonely" what a great line to explain the dichotomy of wanting to be alone but desperately wanting someone to reach out and connect with. You're lonely and you don't want to be but you can't bear the noise others bring so you isolate. Great song!!
Jake is a songwriting genius. He's practically the Ernest Hemingway of songwriting: totally underrated and absolutely awesome. These guys could easily get a record deal, but it's probably best that they don't. Record labels tend to restrict creative freedom. I like them how they are: heavy lyrics that pull no punches.
I haven't seen anyone point out the fact that he put "SOS" in morse code throughout the song. THIS is why I love Citizen Soldier; they make music that speaks for the broken, the lost, and the hopeless and brings awareness to mental health for everyone through music and lyrics. Bravo, Citizen Soldier, bravo.
"I'd rather be numb everyday, than live with what's been done to me" That just hits different in so many ways it's actually unreal Great song as always!!!
“I’d rather be numb everyday than live with what’s been done to me” that verse hit me to the core. Thank you for creating powerful and such relatable music!!
It’s funny how the only way I can let myself tune out the world is by listening to music. The only time I can get to the closest of Isolation is when everyone is asleep.
I remember when I was in such a dark place that I isolated myself from everyone. This song generally speaks to me in a way I didn't think was possible.. Its an amazing song and I can't wait to hear what's next 💜
I’ve been there buddy. Especially when I’m in school. I just wanna remove myself. This song I highly relate to as well. But I hope your gonna be okay buddy. ❤️✊🏻
@@skyshark127 I hope your doing okay too man💜✊🏽 I relate to that as well, school can be a struggle but everything will be okay and you can get thru it!
Your use of SOS as the rhythm for this song is absolute genius. It keeps through the piece like an arrhythmic heartbeat. As someone for who this is their primary coping mechanism, this song is devastatingly honest. Wow. From one musician to another, you hit all the right notes. This is more than a good song; this is art.
I’m a trauma survivor with PTSD. Citizen Soldier always makes me feel better and it describes how I feel all the time. Thanks for creating such godly music!
Living with social anxiety in a nutshell... these lyrics are amazing, your songs show these feelings so much better than every explanation will ever can
Yep I know what u mean hun, I've got social anxiety too, I hide away a lot, buez I live with abuse, I listen to song like 10 times a day, there's just something about it, it just speaks to me
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me" I really identyfied with that part because sometimes I just get tired of being hurt and wish I could just stop feeling. This song reminds me of every moment when I'm just sick about everything and feel pressure on me because others don't want be to be isolated but they want me to be okay, and that's frustrating. Thank you for your music, it helps me to take out from me some negative feelings, and I love the visuals from this video💛
Feeling nothing at all is infinitely worse than the subjectivity of emotions. And i mean that quite literally: you aren’t capable of understanding the idea of feeling _nothing_
You’re music helped me realize the feelings that were happening inside me. If not for your music, I’d be walking around broken and not know I was bleeding out. Your music helps me realize I need to heal. And in return, I can help others heal. Nearly took my life a month ago. But I didn’t, got the semicolon tattoo, and I promised to live and help others live. 3 weeks later I talked my friend out of taking his life. 3 hour battle filled with screams and tears. But he’s here, and so am I. Thank you💙
This touched me. I'm crying (I'm a pretty emphatic person). I'm thinking of getting a semicolon tattoo with the words under it being "this is my sign" right where I used to hurt myself I've been roughly 5-6 years clean.
I feel so stupid listening to this because I haven't dealt with a lot of the things many of you have experienced but I love the music and it just touches a place in my heart that I never knew was there. I am glad to have found music that so many people feel they can relate to but I feel like I shouldn't intrude on that connectedness.
It's totally okay to just be here and enjoy the music! Even if you can't empathize with others on the message, it means just as much to be an ally. We're all in this together 💜
Don’t feel bad, I don’t relate to this song much either, I mainly listen to it for the beat. I’m sure CS doesn’t mind people who come here just to causally listen to their music.
I stay in my room all day and never get out but even in there I don’t feel okay. I only feel okay when I’m sleeping. Sleep for me is an escape from reality.
"Don't pity me here in my cage. The darkness is my one escape" Now that is the line that really hits home for me. I can honestly relate to this now more than ever before, both emotionally and physically. I spend what time little free time I have Isolated in my room, away from my family by my own choice. I love them but at the same time I cannot stand to be around them because they're the kind of people whom are always so negative and hostile towards each other as well as anyone who gets involved. They say they want to see who I really am on the inside. But every single time the real me shimmered through the shadows, he's shunned, shamed, judged and rejected everytime. So I guess im just alone. I can't say I know what acceptance feels like, but I can say that I'm used to that by now.
I feel the same this song never ending nightmare , weight of the world , would anyone care , alot of their music just resonates with how im feeling on a daily basis
Same here, decided to open up to my ex and she ended up cheating on me after because she couldnt look at me the same way again, i was a weak man to her, then i decided to open up once more to a couple of friends of mine well long story short we arent friends anymore so i understand the pain
I had to move from my moms house from...complications...I felt like my mother didn't love me....and I believed no one did....so I isolated myself in my room at my grandmas...didn't get out of there for two months because of the pain I was in. The only I went outside my room was to use the restroom, take my dog out, or to eat which was rarely. I love this song because is speaks closely about me and I'm sure everyone else here too. God bless you Citizen soldier, you are amazing, I'm proud to have you ad my Guardian Angels.
I'm currently isolating. The numbness is saving me from dying inside every minute. I'm oversleeping mostly, but sleep is the only place where I don't feel and everything is fine. I don't want to stand up, I don't want to fight anymore. I just can't. But on the other hand I just have to. And I'm glad to be here. But it's hard. I'll fight later. Thank you Citizen Soldier for songs that hit so hard. I know that you do because you were/are in the same situation and so I am concerned that we have the fighting spirit to stay one day more and then another and then again! This is your sign: ;
As an autistic person this song speaks to me.Because as an autistic person anytime you breakdown you turn into someone you don’t like or know so to avoid that a lot of us isolate if we’re having a bad day so that we don’t hurt anybody
This. This is me. Every day, besides going to work I simply shut myself in my apartment and don't leave unless I have to. I want to make friends, I want to talk to people, I want to do things with people. But it's just too much for me to handle, so I stay home and live alone. I see the world through a computer screen, and its been that way most of my life. Thank you for making it into a song.
Lyrics if someone need♥ My secret place I hide away My only way to be okay So much abuse Stitched in my brain The only world I've known betrays Just let me sleep Just let me sleep Can you pull me under? Can you shut the world away? Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate (Isolate) Can you pull me under? Lock me away where I am safe Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate Don't pity me Hеre in my cage The darknеss is my one escape I'd rather be Numb everyday Than live with what's been done to me Can you pull me under? Can you shut the world away? Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate (Isolate) Can you pull me under? Lock me away where I am safe Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate Let me sleep Nothing's real if I can't see This world has been so cold to me So leave me six feet deep So leave me six feet deep Just let me sleep Can you pull me under? Can you shut the world away? Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate (Isolate) Can you pull me under? Lock me away where I am safe Just leave me lonely I beg you, let me isolate
I can just understand this song so well isolated of course it’s something we can’t talk about our feelings because we have to shut them off or I must be saying wrong but when it said it “the world s been cold to me” I can just understand that and I know people could also understand about those words that said in the song anyways you guys did a great job Citizen Soldier great job for doing an amazing job with the music I love it and everybody loves it! I’m so excited to see in the future more music coming up!💜💜💜
I'm sick of being betrayed, lied too, as everyone wears a mask. This song makes me feel how i want to run away as I'm sick of being used, i wish i could just let go of my faults, and fears as I want to isolate myself from the world.
This song hit me like a ton of bricks This summer, I lost just about everyone and everything in my life I held dear. The last few months, I have struggled every day to convince myself not to take my own life and am walking around like a dead man breathing. I've isolated myself from all friends and family because I only can collect myself when I'm alone. Thanks for sharing this inspirational song to begin the healing process.
@@rebellioussimmie8029 Thanks. I'm trying to stay determined during this lowest point in my life. Positive change starts with your state of mind and I won't give up just yet.
I swear Citizen Soldier are uncapable of making a bad song! I love this band so much and their ability to make songs that just speak to you on an emotional level and really connect with you, also they're catchy as hell and get stuck in my head
I found Citizen Soldier around a month ago now and they've easily become my favorite band. I love this music more than anything else I've been listening to for a while. The instrumental is amazing and the lyrics just hit right. You guys do bloody amazing!!!
I was on my bed listening to random music and then I hear the intro and be like: wtf,an alarm? And then the music pops out of nowhere and I'm like: this is amazing,I'll listen to this more.... And that "more" became 3 hours of listening to the same song while playing videogames.... I rrly love Citizen Soldier ❤
Save for the "whats been done to me" part i relate to all of this. Its not that ive been abused but i have been just seeking reclusiveness and just "sink into myself" i dont know how to describe it
I love all of Citizen Soldier's music. Out of all the songs that I've really related to, in this stage of my life, "Isolate" is the one that describes my feelings perfectly... After 15 years of grieving (ntm all the sh*t that's been done to me in the past), I just don't have anything left in me... I just want to isolate myself away from the world, and just sleep. This song is 🤌 *chef's kiss*
Your music always puts my feelings into words, especially when I can't even seem to get a word to come out of my mouth. Thank you for another amazing song Citizen Soldier. Now to binge this on repeat for the next few hours
Same. As soon as I opened the video I liked it. I waited til halfway through to know which playlist to add it to though. But I think I have a like on every one of their videos
@@annamamma100 I set it on repeat for about 6 times then have it added to the playlist I listen to the most, which also includes most of their other songs too lol
I can't even put into words how much this band and their songs mean to me. They saved me so many times. When I listen to those songs, I feel immediately understood, something I don't really feel with people in my life. I am still beyond glad that I found them back then
This song hits deep.. I struggle with really bad social anxiety, I'm just constantly afraid talking to people or even having people stare at me to the point I rarely go out anymore and stay in my room I only feel safe and comfortable when i'm in there. Amazing song
Empathy has the power to bring together people who would otherwise never meet. It has the power to teach us and to reach us in moments of isolation when we think nobody understands.
Can you shut the world away and just leave me lonely is great line but I don’t have anyone to connect with but great song thank you Citizen Solider for supporting me ❤
This is brutally true! The only place where teenagers can feel safe and okay is their rooms. Area, where everything seems full of positivity. Because when they go outside, no one knows them, maybe they're bulled by their difference :// Anyway, thank you for that song! You totally surprised me, so at the begging of day i can hear this masterpiece 😇 Stay strong, can't wait for next tune! 💜
As someone who has severe depression and social anxiety for 20+ years most songs i can relate too. Music is the only thing that has helped through the years and didn't leave. Keep making great music to help others cope with life it shows we aren't alone especially to the younger crowd. If you're suffering and reading this never give up hope and don't be afraid to reach out to someone especially the men since most of us are told at a young age to hide your emotions and man up.
Citizen Soldier, you've done it again. I've gone through too much pain from this world, being taken advantage of, cheated on, mentally tortured. If it weren't for my Family's support, I don't know how I'd make it. These songs help me get through this. Thank you guys so much for what you do, even though you'll probably never see this comment.
everyday i spend al my time in my room so when i get bad i cry alone and i don't tell anyone and i feel like my room is the one place i belong at times and i remember the last time i listened to citizen soldier was in the summer but i'm back and they still manage to describe how i feel, so thank you for putting these words that are hard to speak into music
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me" this sentence is on point. I wish I could not feel anything because I feel way too much and I'm sick of it. But there is probably only one way to this... Thank you for your music💜
Citizen Soldier knows the difference between Music that people want and Music that people need. Last Friday my Self Harm Secret got thrown out in the open after a friend paniced, because I ran away. At that moment, when I saw a few minutes later of scared she was that I would do something to myself, I fully realised what I have been doing the past two months. What I really have been doing. To myself and to my friend. Now that school knows, I am so so scared that I can't put it in words, and I have difficulties relaxing and sleeping. On monday, school wants to speak me again. And your Music helps me to hold on until Monday, without bad behaviour. Thank you So much for giving words to feelings we cant describe, but feel so deep. It really helps raising awareness for those who need it.
This is what PTSD is like for me, when I am reminded of my traumatic experiences, I disconnect from everyone and I sometimes even wish that I could sleep and never wake up because of how this world really is. Music like this is proof that there is help for people like me, others who struggle along with me.
These lyrics gave me the chills, I get the feeling that they speak to me. It has really helped me through some difficult times, I'm thankful for being able to listen. Citizen Soldier you really make music on a whole different level, at least that is what I'm feeling.
Another absolute anthem by a band that truly understands people like me. The self harming, useless & broken. This like many of your tracks hits way to close to the mark. Thank you CS. Luv u guys

As an autistic person, it's so frustrating when non autistic folks and extroverted people in general seem to think I'm hurting myself by self-isolating. Just because I like to be alone a lot more than you do doesn't mean I'm making my depression worse by doing so. What is mentally distressing to you isn't necessarily the same for me, and if you actually sat down and listened to me then maybe you would know that. On a less serious note, my autism also means I have an auditory processing disorder, and as such lyric videos mean the absolute world to me. I completely adore bands that release them, especially with brand new songs. Because honestly I kept mishearing "leave me six feet deep" as "leave me six feet Dave" and I was just like "I DON'T KNOW WHO DAVE IS BUT HELL YEAH LEAVE ME SIX FEET DAVE, IDEK WHAT I'M SAYING BUT I FEEL IT-" lol
Holy cow!! This song is phenomenal!! The lyrics are absolutely breathtaking and the music is spectacular!! I can’t wait to see what your creative minds come up with next!!
This song speaks to my soul.. I remember when I isolated myself from everybody without realizing I was doing it because in my head I was alone in the darkness.. and I just watched everyone carry on with their lives as if I was invisible.. I cannot tell you how much your music has helped in my most darkest days.. From the very first song I heard I knew I found my strength to keep going.. 💜
Dear God I relate to this so well. I sleep most of the day away and do isolate myself from most of my family and friends, I only have one friend that I talk to who knows what I'm going through (severely alcoholic father and very sick mother). I tend to shut myself away and block everything out. Much love for making a song so relatable to what I and many others are currently going through in life.
“Just let me sleep, just leave me lonely. Lock me away where I am safe. Don’t pity me, here in my cage the darkness is my one escape” These really tell how much I don’t like people. I love my darkness because it’s how my story started. That one dark corner kept me safe more than being belittled, hit and emotionally messed with. I at least can be myself there than faking it in the light. Citizen Soldier has become my third favorite officially. Thank you bunches for making your songs. It really helps explains to close ones how it’s been lately 🙂
this is exactly how i feel everyday. and its actually to the point where i am numb and im happy theres a band out there thats not afraid to show that kind of depression in music, really tells that we are not alone
I started isolating myself from everyone after some things happened in my past. I refused to let anything happen again, I was scared, you know? And that was what I always said, when everyone told me to come out, to stop being "selfish"- I beg you, let me isolate. This song is amazing guys, you've done it again
This song for me describes my anxious-avoidant attachment style due to childhood abuse. It's like always yearning for understanding and love in a relationship, whilst being incredibly cautious and avoidant of all relationships to prevent getting harmed again. It's the wish to be able to love someone, have the person understand and like you as a person, and trust the person to not stab you in back when you show them your vulnerabilities. All I've learnt is that being vulnerable means that other people can exploit your vulnerability and hurt you even more than before. Isolate is the song which describes my life over the past few years.
OMG the quality of these lyric videos getting more insane with every release… And how you depict what people going through this feel is an arrow of light… You there, the unique, bright person reading this comment, I love you Always, and forever Thank you CS, you inspire the entire universe
This song really hits me. I shut myself out from others for so long because that was the only way to protect myself. And if it wasn't for my best friend, I'd still be like that, she really saved me and gave me the courage to seek out professional help.
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me" Another wonderful song, you guys!!! I really love the use of the S.O.S. Morse code in there, it was super cool! You guys never ever disappoint! 💜💜💜
This song speaks a truth that no one wants to hear or face. Its a terrible sadness that anyone who was abused would want to die "six feet under" without love from even a stranger. Suicide, there is no coming back from it...Temporary isolation may be a respite for finding a solution that will lead to salvation. I have experienced isolation of the mind and it is heart breaking. I pray for those who can conquer their sadness and help others do the same. The song in itself is intense and revealing. Thank you Citizen Soldier.
For those that don't know, the "alarm" noise in the beginning is Morse code for send help. Yall need to know the real intention of the song. While they're singing, " let me isolate" the beat/alarm noise is code for help. The attention to detail is great.
Yesssss, the wait is over! I may or may not have stalked the band's website starting at midnight, watching for the digital album to become available so I could snatch it up in lossless format. 😆 This track makes a fantastic opener and I fully intend to play it to death.
This song came at such a critical time. Everyday in the darkness I think it's going to be me next because who is going to give a damn if I surrender to the call. And then Citizen Soldier releases a song and I realise I'm not alone at all. So I've built a pillow fort for me and my dog and we'll remain here safe until the darkness recedes. Thank you for your music, it means more than you know ♡
Already in love after hearing the SOS code Listening to your music just let's me relax instantly, probably because your words are so relatable Another great song as always, really love it
Been subbed to this channel for a good while now, and even have Citizen Soldier songs on top of my Spotify list. And OUT OF ALL OF THE SONGS made by Citizen Soldier, this one has the the intro to the song that hits like a badass boss theme. Have you ever considered doing something like that? Make your own boss theme song, like... Brutal, Dark, and where you want to burn everything down? I think you could do something INSANE like that!!!
Perhaps the perfect time for this to come out. So many people have experienced so many dark things, and to even try to explain them.... it's like choking on your words. So many times there are things people don't want anyone else to see, and we hide from them because it's scary. I just want to say that, to those of you who see this comment and who are hiding, it's okay to mourn. It's okay to cry and grieve, it's okay to be upset or angry. It's okay to feel. It's part of being human. It's not easy, and it's definitely scary, but you're allowed to experience these emotions, and someone out there knows the kind of pain you feel. The pain of a lost loved one, a victim of assault, a veteran, whatever you're going through someone can relate. You're voice matters, and it's being heard. Even the strongest need to cry. You are valid.
"I'd rather be numb every day thank live with what's been done to me" Wow. This slaps. You guys never fail to release bangers, I love you so much, Citizen Soldier.
Omg this gave me goosebumps again, just like a lot of your songs do... What an amazing reference of having to wake up to the alarm and just wanting to stay asleep... Very relatable... Just all around an amazing song.
After losing my dad in January I've had this song play on repeat the past few months. I've been doing better but sometimes I pull myself away from everyone. I keep having the thought that if I wasn't at work I could have saved him but what can a 17 year old do. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. I know he may not be here in person but maybe in spirit, he will see me graduate high school.
@@crestofcourage3209 Let me tell you something my friend, you will relate to this so much! Sometimes you go through such hard times filled with carelessness and bullsh*t, that you start to ask yourself: "Am I the only one who can care for others" and the funny thing is that SO SO many people are asking themselves this question. We just can't cross roads...just as you know the world is small, and it's too big at the same time. Stay strong, you're not alone!
To Citizen Soldier Hi, I’m 14 years old and I have been with you for a year now and you have been the second-best thing that had happened to me after my family. When I ever felt down your music would always make me feel better again. I came to know you by the song ‘Would anyone care’ and it was five days after ‘I’m not okay’ came. ‘Would anyone care’ is now on my top three songs of all time. After I heard the emotional song, I checked your channel out and listen to the other songs you have released. Every one of them made me feel sad but happy that someone else out there feels the same as me. (Not that I want anyone to feel that way though). Every song you had released after I came to listen to your songs were all so perfect. They all had touched my heart. And the fact that you release so many songs so often I amazing. Other artists can’t begin to compare against you. But that fact made me realize that how often you release those songs that something has or is happening, because other people that don’t have the experience that we have felt can’t write songs like this that touch the heart of who have. (Or if it’s not I'm sorry). I have a wish that you could make possible, but if you don’t want to its ok as well because every song you have made is a masterpiece. The wish is could you make a song that has the title ‘It’s okay to cry’’ or ‘’Let it all out’’. I know it’s hard to make a song only from a title believe me I've tried but you chose what you want to do. You have been my favorite band since the second I heard your song. Keep on the good work and touch the hearts of others that have it like this. You’re a rising star only to grow higher and higher into the infinity. I really appreciate the things you have done and I want to say one thing: ‘’Thank you’’. I will be waiting for the next song with excitement. (I will send this again, because I was pretty late for the new song, so I hope you will read this.)
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with whats been done to me" right in the spot
"Just leave me lonely" what a great line to explain the dichotomy of wanting to be alone but desperately wanting someone to reach out and connect with. You're lonely and you don't want to be but you can't bear the noise others bring so you isolate. Great song!!
Jake is a songwriting genius. He's practically the Ernest Hemingway of songwriting: totally underrated and absolutely awesome. These guys could easily get a record deal, but it's probably best that they don't. Record labels tend to restrict creative freedom. I like them how they are: heavy lyrics that pull no punches.
Damn, that hits different
That is so me man that's all that needs to be said.
I agree with what u say
Absolutely!
I haven't seen anyone point out the fact that he put "SOS" in morse code throughout the song. THIS is why I love Citizen Soldier; they make music that speaks for the broken, the lost, and the hopeless and brings awareness to mental health for everyone through music and lyrics. Bravo, Citizen Soldier, bravo.
OH was the alarm morse code- ooooooooo
Yeah! Look it up! It would be written out like this,
... (s) - - - (o) ... (s)
Bravo
Yeah. I heard that too. I love that tiny detail
yeah i literally just realized and then i saw the comment i love it
"I'd rather be numb everyday, than live with what's been done to me"
That just hits different in so many ways it's actually unreal
Great song as always!!!
Thank you so much!
“I’d rather be numb everyday
than live with what’s been done to me” that verse hit me to the core. Thank you for creating powerful and such relatable music!!
I don't know how many dozens of times I've listened to this song, and that line still hits me like a punch in the face.
That's me- two time sexual abuse survivor!
It’s funny how the only way I can let myself tune out the world is by listening to music. The only time I can get to the closest of Isolation is when everyone is asleep.
Exactly the same here Lauren!
damn , you described me . 100%
Much love to you Lauren 💜 Appreciate you
Same
For me, it’s watching anime. I live in their world, not reality
"So my abuse stitched in my brain" accurate. Abuse, trauma, it never goes away. Its stitched and scarred into us.
So true
Yes it does.thats y we can relate to this masterpiece of song.
I remember when I was in such a dark place that I isolated myself from everyone. This song generally speaks to me in a way I didn't think was possible.. Its an amazing song and I can't wait to hear what's next 💜
We have all been in that place BIX63. God bless you’re heart ♥️
I’ve been there buddy. Especially when I’m in school. I just wanna remove myself. This song I highly relate to as well. But I hope your gonna be okay buddy. ❤️✊🏻
@@skyshark127 I hope your doing okay too man💜✊🏽 I relate to that as well, school can be a struggle but everything will be okay and you can get thru it!
@@blx6394 thank you dude. I’m gonna need it ❤️
@@skyshark127 you got this man💜
Your use of SOS as the rhythm for this song is absolute genius. It keeps through the piece like an arrhythmic heartbeat. As someone for who this is their primary coping mechanism, this song is devastatingly honest. Wow. From one musician to another, you hit all the right notes. This is more than a good song; this is art.
Citizen soldier knows the difference between music and God tier music for sure!! Love to y'all 🖤
Thanks 💜
Facts, that’s just facts.
Facts!
I’m a trauma survivor with PTSD. Citizen Soldier always makes me feel better and it describes how I feel all the time. Thanks for creating such godly music!
Same here.
@@JourneyIntoAnimism I hope your healing. ❤️
same for me

Living with social anxiety in a nutshell... these lyrics are amazing, your songs show these feelings so much better than every explanation will ever can
Yep I know what u mean hun, I've got social anxiety too, I hide away a lot, buez I live with abuse, I listen to song like 10 times a day, there's just something about it, it just speaks to me
Same here, I've been living with social anxiety for about 15 years (I'm 27) and I've never felt so understood than when I listen to this song.
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me" I really identyfied with that part because sometimes I just get tired of being hurt and wish I could just stop feeling. This song reminds me of every moment when I'm just sick about everything and feel pressure on me because others don't want be to be isolated but they want me to be okay, and that's frustrating. Thank you for your music, it helps me to take out from me some negative feelings, and I love the visuals from this video💛
We’re all here for you. Remember to stay strong ♥️ god bless you.
To stop feeling is not the best way to escape and I hope you will find a better solution
Oh I'm not the only one who feels like this? Huh good to know.
We are all here with you 😁
Feeling nothing at all is infinitely worse than the subjectivity of emotions. And i mean that quite literally: you aren’t capable of understanding the idea of feeling _nothing_
You’re music helped me realize the feelings that were happening inside me. If not for your music, I’d be walking around broken and not know I was bleeding out. Your music helps me realize I need to heal. And in return, I can help others heal. Nearly took my life a month ago. But I didn’t, got the semicolon tattoo, and I promised to live and help others live. 3 weeks later I talked my friend out of taking his life. 3 hour battle filled with screams and tears. But he’s here, and so am I. Thank you💙
This is so incredible to hear, and more than we could ever hope for. So happy to have you in the family. Thank you for being with us 💜
This touched me. I'm crying (I'm a pretty emphatic person). I'm thinking of getting a semicolon tattoo with the words under it being "this is my sign" right where I used to hurt myself I've been roughly 5-6 years clean.
@@ARC-0606face to face is my favorite song of victory
I feel so stupid listening to this because I haven't dealt with a lot of the things many of you have experienced but I love the music and it just touches a place in my heart that I never knew was there. I am glad to have found music that so many people feel they can relate to but I feel like I shouldn't intrude on that connectedness.
It's totally okay to just be here and enjoy the music! Even if you can't empathize with others on the message, it means just as much to be an ally. We're all in this together 💜
That is empathy, dear. You are not intruding at all.
Don’t feel bad, I don’t relate to this song much either, I mainly listen to it for the beat. I’m sure CS doesn’t mind people who come here just to causally listen to their music.
Well ur lucky
Everyone feels things differently
I stay in my room all day and never get out but even in there I don’t feel okay. I only feel okay when I’m sleeping. Sleep for me is an escape from reality.
It’s sounds so good within the first 5 seconds
S.O.S. 💜
True!
You're crazy. It sounded like an alarm clock and everyone hates the sound of that. After the first 5 seconds were over, then it become amazing.
@@UndeadOmens I get where your going but I never heard a song start off like that and I liked it sorry if this sounds weird
"Don't pity me here in my cage. The darkness is my one escape" Now that is the line that really hits home for me. I can honestly relate to this now more than ever before, both emotionally and physically. I spend what time little free time I have Isolated in my room, away from my family by my own choice. I love them but at the same time I cannot stand to be around them because they're the kind of people whom are always so negative and hostile towards each other as well as anyone who gets involved. They say they want to see who I really am on the inside. But every single time the real me shimmered through the shadows, he's shunned, shamed, judged and rejected everytime. So I guess im just alone. I can't say I know what acceptance feels like, but I can say that I'm used to that by now.
This song describes me so well. I wanna open up to someone but I’ve been betrayed too many times it’s just easier for me to shut others out
i can say i relate not much truth in this world anymore
I feel the same this song never ending nightmare , weight of the world , would anyone care , alot of their music just resonates with how im feeling on a daily basis
Same here, decided to open up to my ex and she ended up cheating on me after because she couldnt look at me the same way again, i was a weak man to her, then i decided to open up once more to a couple of friends of mine well long story short we arent friends anymore so i understand the pain
I had to move from my moms house from...complications...I felt like my mother didn't love me....and I believed no one did....so I isolated myself in my room at my grandmas...didn't get out of there for two months because of the pain I was in.
The only I went outside my room was to use the restroom, take my dog out, or to eat which was rarely.
I love this song because is speaks closely about me and I'm sure everyone else here too.
God bless you Citizen soldier, you are amazing, I'm proud to have you ad my Guardian Angels.
This song should be known world wide
The alarm being Morse code for SOS is just amazing... I played it for a friend who used to be a boyscout and that's how I found out! So cool
Once again a beautiful song that speaks right to my mind, heart, and soul
That’s good to hear👍
Thanks Heather! 💜
I'm currently isolating. The numbness is saving me from dying inside every minute. I'm oversleeping mostly, but sleep is the only place where I don't feel and everything is fine. I don't want to stand up, I don't want to fight anymore. I just can't. But on the other hand I just have to. And I'm glad to be here. But it's hard. I'll fight later. Thank you Citizen Soldier for songs that hit so hard. I know that you do because you were/are in the same situation and so I am concerned that we have the fighting spirit to stay one day more and then another and then again!
This is your sign: ;
We hear you 💜
As an autistic person this song speaks to me.Because as an autistic person anytime you breakdown you turn into someone you don’t like or know so to avoid that a lot of us isolate if we’re having a bad day so that we don’t hurt anybody
This. This is me. Every day, besides going to work I simply shut myself in my apartment and don't leave unless I have to. I want to make friends, I want to talk to people, I want to do things with people. But it's just too much for me to handle, so I stay home and live alone. I see the world through a computer screen, and its been that way most of my life. Thank you for making it into a song.
For me is 2:28am and I'm listening to this great new song. We needed this. Thank you citizen soldier.
It's 11:47 pm over here 💜
Lyrics if someone need♥
My secret place
I hide away
My only way to be okay
So much abuse
Stitched in my brain
The only world I've known betrays
Just let me sleep
Just let me sleep
Can you pull me under?
Can you shut the world away?
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
(Isolate) Can you pull me under?
Lock me away where I am safe
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
Don't pity me
Hеre in my cage
The darknеss is my one escape
I'd rather be
Numb everyday
Than live with what's been done to me
Can you pull me under?
Can you shut the world away?
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
(Isolate) Can you pull me under?
Lock me away where I am safe
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
Let me sleep
Nothing's real if I can't see
This world has been so cold to me
So leave me six feet deep
So leave me six feet deep
Just let me sleep
Can you pull me under?
Can you shut the world away?
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
(Isolate) Can you pull me under?
Lock me away where I am safe
Just leave me lonely
I beg you, let me isolate
Thank you!
I can just understand this song so well isolated of course it’s something we can’t talk about our feelings because we have to shut them off or I must be saying wrong but when it said it “the world s been cold to me” I can just understand that and I know people could also understand about those words that said in the song anyways you guys did a great job Citizen Soldier great job for doing an amazing job with the music I love it and everybody loves it! I’m so excited to see in the future more music coming up!💜💜💜
I'm sick of being betrayed, lied too, as everyone wears a mask. This song makes me feel how i want to run away as I'm sick of being used, i wish i could just let go of my faults, and fears as I want to isolate myself from the world.
These songs never fail to hit me in a deep spot. Thank you for being my comfort band. One day i hope to meet you guys.
This song hit me like a ton of bricks This summer, I lost just about everyone and everything in my life I held dear. The last few months, I have struggled every day to convince myself not to take my own life and am walking around like a dead man breathing. I've isolated myself from all friends and family because I only can collect myself when I'm alone. Thanks for sharing this inspirational song to begin the healing process.
I feel you. I lost everything I loved including a irreplaceable friendship. This song speaks volumes.
I hope your doing okay in there
@@RoRo-lb2kn Hang in there, if you are at rock bottom, things can only go back up.
@@rebellioussimmie8029 Thanks. I'm trying to stay determined during this lowest point in my life. Positive change starts with your state of mind and I won't give up just yet.
@@Davemeister22
I swear Citizen Soldier are uncapable of making a bad song! I love this band so much and their ability to make songs that just speak to you on an emotional level and really connect with you, also they're catchy as hell and get stuck in my head
There is seriously not a song I dislike from you guys! You guys are killing it
I found Citizen Soldier around a month ago now and they've easily become my favorite band. I love this music more than anything else I've been listening to for a while. The instrumental is amazing and the lyrics just hit right. You guys do bloody amazing!!!
Glad you found us 💜
I was on my bed listening to random music and then I hear the intro and be like: wtf,an alarm? And then the music pops out of nowhere and I'm like: this is amazing,I'll listen to this more.... And that "more" became 3 hours of listening to the same song while playing videogames.... I rrly love Citizen Soldier ❤
Save for the "whats been done to me" part i relate to all of this.
Its not that ive been abused but i have been just seeking reclusiveness and just "sink into myself" i dont know how to describe it
I love all of Citizen Soldier's music. Out of all the songs that I've really related to, in this stage of my life, "Isolate" is the one that describes my feelings perfectly... After 15 years of grieving (ntm all the sh*t that's been done to me in the past), I just don't have anything left in me... I just want to isolate myself away from the world, and just sleep.
This song is 🤌 *chef's kiss*
OMG THESE ARE COMING OUT SO FAST!yet the quality of them seems to just keep going up. I love this 💜🖤
Faster than tacos 💜
Right!? Their music is so amazing!!
Faster then a plane on drugs
@@CitizenSoldier man, you making me hungry for tacos now.
Your music always puts my feelings into words, especially when I can't even seem to get a word to come out of my mouth. Thank you for another amazing song Citizen Soldier. Now to binge this on repeat for the next few hours
We all can relate brother
@@shadowninja1059 IGY6
Liked and added it to my playlist before hearing more than 10 seconds!! I’m yet to year a song by Citizen Soldier that I don’t like! ❤️
Appreciate the support Sarah 💜
Same. As soon as I opened the video I liked it. I waited til halfway through to know which playlist to add it to though. But I think I have a like on every one of their videos
Have you guys played this over 10 time yet? This song is just to good.
@@annamamma100 I set it on repeat for about 6 times then have it added to the playlist I listen to the most, which also includes most of their other songs too lol
@@xceryxdemurstra6323 indeed
I can't even put into words how much this band and their songs mean to me. They saved me so many times. When I listen to those songs, I feel immediately understood, something I don't really feel with people in my life. I am still beyond glad that I found them back then
This song hits deep.. I struggle with really bad social anxiety, I'm just constantly afraid talking to people or even having people stare at me to the point I rarely go out anymore and stay in my room I only feel safe and comfortable when i'm in there. Amazing song
Much love to you friend 💜
Empathy has the power to bring together people who would otherwise never meet. It has the power to teach us and to reach us in moments of isolation when we think nobody understands.
I love the SOS in the background. So subtle, yet so powerful❤️
💜
Can you shut the world away and just leave me lonely is great line but I don’t have anyone to connect with but great song thank you Citizen Solider for supporting me ❤
This is brutally true! The only place where teenagers can feel safe and okay is their rooms. Area, where everything seems full of positivity. Because when they go outside, no one knows them, maybe they're bulled by their difference ://
Anyway, thank you for that song! You totally surprised me, so at the begging of day i can hear this masterpiece 😇 Stay strong, can't wait for next tune! 💜
Much love to you Julia 💜
As someone who has severe depression and social anxiety for 20+ years most songs i can relate too. Music is the only thing that has helped through the years and didn't leave. Keep making great music to help others cope with life it shows we aren't alone especially to the younger crowd. If you're suffering and reading this never give up hope and don't be afraid to reach out to someone especially the men since most of us are told at a young age to hide your emotions and man up.
It's heart-breaking how many people including me can relate to this..
Every song is as if it pulled the words right out of our hearts 💜💜
Citizen Soldier, you've done it again. I've gone through too much pain from this world, being taken advantage of, cheated on, mentally tortured. If it weren't for my Family's support, I don't know how I'd make it. These songs help me get through this. Thank you guys so much for what you do, even though you'll probably never see this comment.
everyday i spend al my time in my room so when i get bad i cry alone and i don't tell anyone and i feel like my room is the one place i belong at times and i remember the last time i listened to citizen soldier was in the summer but i'm back and they still manage to describe how i feel, so thank you for putting these words that are hard to speak into music
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me" this sentence is on point. I wish I could not feel anything because I feel way too much and I'm sick of it. But there is probably only one way to this...
Thank you for your music💜
Citizen Soldier knows the difference between Music that people want and Music that people need. Last Friday my Self Harm Secret got thrown out in the open after a friend paniced, because I ran away. At that moment, when I saw a few minutes later of scared she was that I would do something to myself, I fully realised what I have been doing the past two months. What I really have been doing. To myself and to my friend. Now that school knows, I am so so scared that I can't put it in words, and I have difficulties relaxing and sleeping. On monday, school wants to speak me again. And your Music helps me to hold on until Monday, without bad behaviour. Thank you So much for giving words to feelings we cant describe, but feel so deep. It really helps raising awareness for those who need it.
This is what PTSD is like for me, when I am reminded of my traumatic experiences, I disconnect from everyone and I sometimes even wish that I could sleep and never wake up because of how this world really is. Music like this is proof that there is help for people like me, others who struggle along with me.
These lyrics gave me the chills, I get the feeling that they speak to me. It has really helped me through some difficult times, I'm thankful for being able to listen. Citizen Soldier you really make music on a whole different level, at least that is what I'm feeling.
Citizen Soilder always seems to read my darkest self. I just wish they were there for my teenage years. Hope this song helps others like it has me.
Another absolute anthem by a band that truly understands people like me. The self harming, useless & broken. This like many of your tracks hits way to close to the mark. Thank you CS. Luv u guys

As an autistic person, it's so frustrating when non autistic folks and extroverted people in general seem to think I'm hurting myself by self-isolating. Just because I like to be alone a lot more than you do doesn't mean I'm making my depression worse by doing so. What is mentally distressing to you isn't necessarily the same for me, and if you actually sat down and listened to me then maybe you would know that.
On a less serious note, my autism also means I have an auditory processing disorder, and as such lyric videos mean the absolute world to me. I completely adore bands that release them, especially with brand new songs. Because honestly I kept mishearing "leave me six feet deep" as "leave me six feet Dave" and I was just like "I DON'T KNOW WHO DAVE IS BUT HELL YEAH LEAVE ME SIX FEET DAVE, IDEK WHAT I'M SAYING BUT I FEEL IT-" lol
Holy cow!! This song is phenomenal!! The lyrics are absolutely breathtaking and the music is spectacular!! I can’t wait to see what your creative minds come up with next!!
💜
We all agree with you.
Another beautiful song, which reflects the feeling hidden in us, knowing that being alone is the only way to be safe from our monsters.
This song speaks to my soul.. I remember when I isolated myself from everybody without realizing I was doing it because in my head I was alone in the darkness.. and I just watched everyone carry on with their lives as if I was invisible.. I cannot tell you how much your music has helped in my most darkest days.. From the very first song I heard I knew I found my strength to keep going.. 💜
There you are Heather! 💜 Glad the music has helped. That's the reason why we do this. Appreciate you 💜
Dear God I relate to this so well. I sleep most of the day away and do isolate myself from most of my family and friends, I only have one friend that I talk to who knows what I'm going through (severely alcoholic father and very sick mother). I tend to shut myself away and block everything out. Much love for making a song so relatable to what I and many others are currently going through in life.
You all have such a gift when making these music. The beat and lyrics on point. So worth waking everyone up!! 💜🔥
And the way the video is made with the lyrics, looks so epic!
“Just let me sleep, just leave me lonely. Lock me away where I am safe. Don’t pity me, here in my cage the darkness is my one escape”
These really tell how much I don’t like people. I love my darkness because it’s how my story started. That one dark corner kept me safe more than being belittled, hit and emotionally messed with. I at least can be myself there than faking it in the light. Citizen Soldier has become my third favorite officially. Thank you bunches for making your songs. It really helps explains to close ones how it’s been lately 🙂
"Can you pull me under? Can you shut the world away?
Can you pull me under? Lock me away where I am safe"
These are the lyrics I feel the most
this is exactly how i feel everyday. and its actually to the point where i am numb and im happy theres a band out there thats not afraid to show that kind of depression in music, really tells that we are not alone
Bro I'm so glad I came on RUclips at the right moment!!!
Yay! 💜
I started isolating myself from everyone after some things happened in my past. I refused to let anything happen again, I was scared, you know?
And that was what I always said, when everyone told me to come out, to stop being "selfish"- I beg you, let me isolate.
This song is amazing guys, you've done it again
The Morse code with the alarm clock so small but I love it
This song for me describes my anxious-avoidant attachment style due to childhood abuse. It's like always yearning for understanding and love in a relationship, whilst being incredibly cautious and avoidant of all relationships to prevent getting harmed again. It's the wish to be able to love someone, have the person understand and like you as a person, and trust the person to not stab you in back when you show them your vulnerabilities. All I've learnt is that being vulnerable means that other people can exploit your vulnerability and hurt you even more than before.
Isolate is the song which describes my life over the past few years.
OMG the quality of these lyric videos getting more insane with every release…
And how you depict what people going through this feel is an arrow of light…
You there, the unique, bright person reading this comment, I love you
Always, and forever
Thank you CS, you inspire the entire universe
Thanks Bon 💜
7:00 is when I have to wake up to go to school so this fits me ''just let me sleep, just let me sleep"
This song really hits me. I shut myself out from others for so long because that was the only way to protect myself. And if it wasn't for my best friend, I'd still be like that, she really saved me and gave me the courage to seek out professional help.
Sounds like you have an amazing friend. Stay strong 💜
"I'd rather be
numb everyday
Than live with what's been done to me" Thats why I no longer feel things.....
"I'd rather be numb everyday than live with what's been done to me"
Another wonderful song, you guys!!! I really love the use of the S.O.S. Morse code in there, it was super cool! You guys never ever disappoint! 💜💜💜
This song speaks a truth that no one wants to hear or face. Its a terrible sadness that anyone who was abused would want to die "six feet under" without love from even a stranger. Suicide, there is no coming back from it...Temporary isolation may be a respite for finding a solution that will lead to salvation. I have experienced isolation of the mind and it is heart breaking. I pray for those who can conquer their sadness and help others do the same. The song in itself is intense and revealing. Thank you Citizen Soldier.
For those that don't know, the "alarm" noise in the beginning is Morse code for send help. Yall need to know the real intention of the song. While they're singing, " let me isolate" the beat/alarm noise is code for help. The attention to detail is great.
your explanation gave me goosebumps... i didnt notice it earlier
The feeling when your own mind pulls you underneath a carpet, and others step on you since you'll never be seen.
The Morse code is such a cool touch!!❤💜❤ I love this song so much already!!!
Any idea what it translates to? I had a feeling it was morse code but I have no idea how to translate it XD
I think it's S.O.S. in morse code I might be wrong though.
💜
@@CalamariPlaysStarfield its the SOS distress signal
Thank you for your music. It's funny cause isolation and like literally cutting off everyone is my way of comfort.
We know the feeling all too well. Thank you for listening Shane 🙏💜
It took me till now to figure out the way the alarm clock went is Morse code. What it is is SOS. How creative!
Not me blasting this at 7:30 in the morning. You never fail to deliver. It's annoying how underrated you are.
Yesssss, the wait is over! I may or may not have stalked the band's website starting at midnight, watching for the digital album to become available so I could snatch it up in lossless format. 😆 This track makes a fantastic opener and I fully intend to play it to death.
Thanks for your support 💜
This song came at such a critical time. Everyday in the darkness I think it's going to be me next because who is going to give a damn if I surrender to the call. And then Citizen Soldier releases a song and I realise I'm not alone at all. So I've built a pillow fort for me and my dog and we'll remain here safe until the darkness recedes. Thank you for your music, it means more than you know ♡
Already in love after hearing the SOS code
Listening to your music just let's me relax instantly, probably because your words are so relatable
Another great song as always, really love it
Is that what the Morse code is?
@@briannajones5184 ··· --- ··· Short short short long long long, short short short S-O-S
Why does this feel so good?
absolutely love this so much !! definitely worth staying up for y’all have helped me so much 💜
We're awake too 💜
This hits so different
Been subbed to this channel for a good while now, and even have Citizen Soldier songs on top of my Spotify list. And OUT OF ALL OF THE SONGS made by Citizen Soldier, this one has the the intro to the song that hits like a badass boss theme.
Have you ever considered doing something like that? Make your own boss theme song, like... Brutal, Dark, and where you want to burn everything down? I think you could do something INSANE like that!!!
Perhaps the perfect time for this to come out.
So many people have experienced so many dark things, and to even try to explain them.... it's like choking on your words. So many times there are things people don't want anyone else to see, and we hide from them because it's scary. I just want to say that, to those of you who see this comment and who are hiding, it's okay to mourn. It's okay to cry and grieve, it's okay to be upset or angry. It's okay to feel. It's part of being human. It's not easy, and it's definitely scary, but you're allowed to experience these emotions, and someone out there knows the kind of pain you feel. The pain of a lost loved one, a victim of assault, a veteran, whatever you're going through someone can relate. You're voice matters, and it's being heard.
Even the strongest need to cry.
You are valid.
We hear you 💜 Thanks for sharing that
Listening to music is one of my ways to isolate, so thank you Citizen Soldier for yet ANOTHER great, relatable song! Love you ♡
Glad to hear that 💜
"I'd rather be numb every day thank live with what's been done to me" Wow. This slaps. You guys never fail to release bangers, I love you so much, Citizen Soldier.
Yall are a lot like linkin park in the way you tackle mental health issues and I am here for every bit of it
Congratulations you just found out what I'll be listening alone in the middle of the night in the crying corner of my room with a blanket around me
Hope it can offer some comfort when you need it most 💜
Omg this gave me goosebumps again, just like a lot of your songs do... What an amazing reference of having to wake up to the alarm and just wanting to stay asleep... Very relatable... Just all around an amazing song.
Thanks Vicky 💜
@@CitizenSoldier Of course 💙
After losing my dad in January I've had this song play on repeat the past few months. I've been doing better but sometimes I pull myself away from everyone. I keep having the thought that if I wasn't at work I could have saved him but what can a 17 year old do.
Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. I know he may not be here in person but maybe in spirit, he will see me graduate high school.
I relate with this song just like I do with Would Anyone Care
I mean does anyone really care bout anyone these days
but at the same time. . . is it bad we can relate so easily? i mean, at least we can listen to badass music when we're alone tho.
Same here.
@@crestofcourage3209 I do. I believe everyone is important regardless of where they came from.
@@crestofcourage3209 Let me tell you something my friend, you will relate to this so much! Sometimes you go through such hard times filled with carelessness and bullsh*t, that you start to ask yourself: "Am I the only one who can care for others" and the funny thing is that SO SO many people are asking themselves this question. We just can't cross roads...just as you know the world is small, and it's too big at the same time. Stay strong, you're not alone!
To Citizen Soldier
Hi, I’m 14 years old and I have been with you for a year now and you have been the second-best thing that had happened to me after my family. When I ever felt down your music would always make me feel better again.
I came to know you by the song ‘Would anyone care’ and it was five days after ‘I’m not okay’ came. ‘Would anyone care’ is now on my top three songs of all time. After I heard the emotional song, I checked your channel out and listen to the other songs you have released. Every one of them made me feel sad but happy that someone else out there feels the same as me. (Not that I want anyone to feel that way though).
Every song you had released after I came to listen to your songs were all so perfect. They all had touched my heart. And the fact that you release so many songs so often I amazing. Other artists can’t begin to compare against you. But that fact made me realize that how often you release those songs that something has or is happening, because other people that don’t have the experience that we have felt can’t write songs like this that touch the heart of who have. (Or if it’s not I'm sorry).
I have a wish that you could make possible, but if you don’t want to its ok as well because every song you have made is a masterpiece. The wish is could you make a song that has the title ‘It’s okay to cry’’ or ‘’Let it all out’’. I know it’s hard to make a song only from a title believe me I've tried but you chose what you want to do.
You have been my favorite band since the second I heard your song. Keep on the good work and touch the hearts of others that have it like this. You’re a rising star only to grow higher and higher into the infinity. I really appreciate the things you have done and I want to say one thing: ‘’Thank you’’. I will be waiting for the next song with excitement.
(I will send this again, because I was pretty late for the new song, so I hope you will read this.)
