Me and my mom loves your music
Got it !❤
Just found you out because of someone's fan edit of tmnt rise Raphael 😂❤ love your music.
Lovely ❤song guys
Sexual abuse survivor here. This is a message letting me know I'm a survivor and not a victim of my abuser. You've inspired me more than you will ever know. Trauma is no joke and I know people don't take it as seriously as it is. Side note Icon for Hire is EPIC in this song!
Appreciate those words 🫶 Much love
@@CitizenSoldier thank you so much!!
I know I'm just a stranger on the internet but I'm proud of you for continuing to push on and surviving despite any hardships
@@vincenttrigg4521 thank you so much. I've only been out of my abusive relationship for a year but im trying desperately to heal and rid myself of the shame and guilt I feel every day
For sure a survivor! Keep pushing through, trauma doesn't just go away!
P.S. Team Elijah 😉
For years, I've been saying that I' was a "victim" of severe school bullying, but from now on I think I'm going to call myself a survivor, because that's exactly what I am.
❤🖤 was just about to say something similar
Go bro!!
Fuck yeah you are! If you need help climbing a community is here to help.
You are great, keep going 👍👍
"When you hit rock bottom you can cry or climb"
What a powerful line, im glad i climbed out of my own trenches and im glad to have found this song, wonderful collab!
What a collab, They blend together so well, I love this song and it’s message
Glad to hear that 🫶
My dream came true, Citizen Soldier & Icon for Hire, my 2 favorite groups finally singing together 😍😍😍😍
I'm not a big fan of Icon For Hire, but they are certainly a great band and I like several of their songs. This could easily be one of the best collaborations they've done yet. 👌🏻
Now they just need to collab with shinedown or nothing more and i can feel complete
Appreciate you so much 🫶
@@dragos3n and I wait for the day when they finally collaborate with Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch or No Resolve.
That day will be amazing ✨
Two of my favorites as well.
It's great seeing them Collab.
Psychological/emotional abuse survivor here. Actually, I'm currently living with the abuser (it's a family member, it's not by my choice but I'm searching means to get out) which put me under A LOT of stress. But I got my own strength, my faith and these songs to get by. ❤
Hope you can get out sooner rather than later. For now, just keep your head up and remember that no one can control you but yourself.
@ligiabremer every day you remain in that environment is dangerous. Start not only looking for a means to get out, but an escape plan if things get really bad.
Plan A is always good, but having backup plans (B, C, D) are always recommended in case Plan A falls through.
Same, you got this❤ you're not alone
Currently my situation, I hope we can both get out soon
Same here! Let's go, we're making it out of the house with this one!
I’m a survivor of abuse I was physically, mentally and emotionally abused from early childhood to early adulthood. Love your songs they always seem to find me in my darkest times and remind me I’m good enough for this world. Thanks
🫂
the perfect message for the person who is in a war or who is about to enter one... 🤟
Hope it helps 🫶
It does *hug*
@CitizenSoldier look
Yeah I may be at war but I won't be walked over again
This song goes hard for all of us about to have exams
As a survivor of CSA and rape, this song hits hard!! Thank you @IconForHire and @CitizenSoldier for putting words to what I fight on a daily basis. To those who hurt me: you will never win. I survived!
Another brilliant song! Thanks guys... I've been listening to you for years and it has really saved my life. Jake, I love your voice, sometimes it's like light through the darkness... Thank y'all! Keep it up, you're amazing.
Appreciate those words 🫶
I'm bipolar with ADHD, PTSD, severe anxiety and I'm on the spectrum. The last two years have been absolute hell and while some days are better than others, you guys have helped pull me through quite a journey of self discovery and recovery. I couldn't thank you enough. Words fall short. All I can say, is thank you. Today, I don't want to die and that's a huge victory for me.
Hi . I know I'm just a stranger, but I'm really proud of you. You're strong and you can do it, I believe in you.💙 Take care of yourself (as much as you can) and have a good day /night. 🫂
@@Staykitcat Thank you. God bless you. 💜
My two favourite bands collabing??????????? My life is complete ☺️ phenomenal as always!
Glad to hear that. 🫶
This is the motivator I needed to claw through my severe depression today. CS seems to always comes thru when I need em ❤
🫶
I'm not a victim or a survivor. I'm a warrior!
I say the same thing!!! Have a tattoo that says Warrior
I'm Warrior !!! In my blood Adeline Full Speed 😂😂😂
Icon for Hire and Citizen Soldier collab song is something I never asked for but it's something I always needed. THIS IS AMAZING!! 🖤
Much love! 🫶
“Deciding not to die might be all you have” that definitely speaks a lot 💯 am trying to do better everyday and standing up instead of staying down 🔥❤️
Holy ICON FOR HIRE!!! Love them so much.
We love them as well 🫶
Two of my favorite bands some of the most powerful to us in this funky mind set that sadly more and more are coming into mixing together is pure gold
🫶
citizen soldier and icon for hire collab? guaranteed banger
Approve this message 🫶
The terms "victim" and "survivor" are so loosely associated with each other. As a survivor of bullying during grade school and middle school, during that time, I was a victim but I survived through it.
The same goes with Domestic violence. Remember everyone, there is one universal truth in these situations: It is okay to walk away, it is okay to seek help and having children is not an excuse to stay. Get out now because it only gets worse!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING! YOUR MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE! 🙏 ❤
Will do! 🫶
This woman have a special voice. I like it ❤
Love her voice 🫶
I was abused at a young age and no one cared because i was a male and it was probably something i wanted. People looked down on me and called me weak. The solitude, fear and sadness left me to make that choice no one should have to.
When it didn’t work, my eyes opened and i was able to become the survivor and share my stories and thoughts with other men who have had the trauma that i have been through.
I hope one day, the stigma will end.
No one should ever be dismissed over something so stupid and arbitrary I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much, you've survived so many things I hope you know you're an incredibly strong, brave person. God bless man, don't give up the fight, you're worth so much and no one can take away that you're worthy of respect and love🩷
I am a survivor of physical and mental abuse. Ive learned from my past and it has helped me to survive my demons. Thank you for this song
For the people that feel more like victim, and everyone goes through that, you will win that battle too💜💜
I have to say thank you so very much. I have chosen to be a survivor from the trauma I experienced and now I am trying to continue growing as a person. Thank you for this song to remind me that it is a choice and that we are more than what we have experienced. Much love
Icon lead singer fits this song so well and es just makes this song so perfect
I know right? They always get the best collabs
Glad to hear that 🫶
Agreed
There is no band better than citizen solider in doing what they do.. inspiration is their art.. I’m not even someone who needs this shit, thank God I’m naturally positive but I’m glad there is music out there like this for those who need it! 🥰
This song is so amazing great job citizen soldier yall are so amazing with your songs the vocals are literally perfect im in love 😍😍😍😍
Much love 🫶
This song. I'm a SA survivor and a Domestic A survivor and its true im a survivor not a victim, I'm still standing yes I may have a lot of mental health issues, have nightmares/night terrors but I'm still standing. This is a message to all the Women and all the Men Your survivors
And another one that hits deep in the soul. Thank you Citizen Soldier! 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽
I went through a lifetime of DV, from my birth family through to my adopted family. Took me 30 years to finally realise that what I thought was 'love' and a 'happy home' was a cage. I spent 30 years in the cage and the only thing they never took from me was my will to survive. This song is like my anthem, I have never liked being referred to as a victim, because to me that sounds like they won and I lost. I'm bruised, bent and not in the best condition but I survived them. I survived a living hell, I refuse to be known for what happened to me, I want to be known for what I do. I'm finally on the path that I wanted to be on for so long, I can't cry anymore due to GL, but I'm climbing and if any rocks get dislodged in my climb, I hope they don't injure the ones that are the reason for my climb. Though I have hate for them, I do not hate them nor do I pity them. i am numb, indifferent but I am still here and I have survived.
So it’s that time of the week! Glad to be here rocking 🤘🎸
It's that time again! 🫶
I was sexually abused by a family member and have been hiding it for years, just now addressing it and going to therapy. This song gives me comfort on levels I've never felt before. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece 🙏
I'm reading in the comments just how this song is encouraging people to take back their lives after what happened to them and guys... And I'd just love to hug you all, I'm so, so proud of you. And I'm proud of you who is reading this comment too, I know you are gonna make it through, because you're a survivor too.
CS, thank you for always help me to remember that there is light, even through my darkest nights. Your songs are so meaningful to me because you guys don't block out the pain, you express it fully in your songs, and through that you remind us that there is a better life waiting for us. Thank you, really.
As someone who sometimes resorts to blaming my actions on my past this really helps. You've saved me, multiple times. Thank you
Love everything about the song, The Music, The Lyrics, even the collab
Being a survivor of many types of abuse and neglect throughout my 24 years of life, im surprised I survived.
If it wasn't for my husband, i probably wouldn't be here right now. He showed me how to heal because no one would show me. They just stuck me in a hospital and shoved pills down my throat.
A few years ago I was at an extremely low point of my life and told one of my friends I was planning on ending it, she tried to talk me out of it and I told her "please just stop trying, no one else will even notice or care, and I'm sorry that this is gonna hurt you, but you'll move on and forget about me eventually" and she sent me a song and said "if you aren't going to listen to me can you at least listen to this song for me first", I told her fine, after that video I sent her a message thanking her. The song was Would Anyone Care.
I recently became homeless, got fired from my job because I was forced to mask my autism for too long and kept having meltdowns, which the owner of the place referred to as "temper tantrums" and "throwing fits", because I couldn't unmask, I don't have any form of identification and just under 1000 bucks to my name right now. I have no idea how I'm going to build myself back up, I'm not making this comment for pity or to try and get help but to tell y'all the songs you guys continue to put out give me hope. Hope that one day discussion around mental health, disorders, and disabilities will become less stigmatized, hope that I will overcome this point of my life, hope that one day people will become willing to understand.
Thank you for making songs aimed at destigmatizing depression, anxiety, autism, PTSD for the people like me who have to live with them, while I personally don't struggle with this one thank you for making songs for every person who has to struggle with things like eating disorders, and lastly thank you for making songs for all of us who have to fight ourselves to remind us we our strong enough to survive.
For years I have felt like I was the victim of abuse and S.A., this song just entirely changed my point of view I am so glad I came acrost this. This helps me so much, Thank you so much!❤❤
We're all fighting our own battles. Love this song! Great job 👍
I find it difficult to be a survivor, but your music like this definitely helps :)
STOP, YOU ARE KIDDING ME. MY TWO FAVORITE BANDS OF ALL TIME HAVE COLLABED? THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Healing can take a very long time, but it's definitely worth it. Don't lose hope if you don't "get over" something quickly, true healing is supposed to take a lot of time and self reflection. Hang in there, everyone!
Omg I've been listening to BOTH of y'all since the beginning 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
GOD YALL NEVER DISAPPOINT
We try 🫶
ICON FOR HIRE? I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT BUT I AM SO MUCH IN LOVE!
I'm an assault survivor and even if I healed, I still sometimes get bad thoughts but I'm pushing through, I refuse to wave a white flag
SA Survivor here. Finding this song 3 days after it happening, has helped bring a light into my darkness ☀️
“Boy, I’m not the victim, I’m the survivor❗️❗️❗️”
OH GOD, THAT'S AWFUL. THANK GOODNESS YOU SURVIVED, I HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL...GOD BLESS, I'M SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU THOUGH...I HOPE YOU CAN SLOWLY HEAL ONE DAY AT A TIME, PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. :) I HOPE I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING OFFENSIVE OR RUDE. ^_^
That intro came out of nowhere.
And nailed it
🫶
I have been waiting for MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That damn short was a hell of a tease! THANK YOU!
Wooo, been waiting for this!
Szuper jó dal 🎶👌

It's finally here 🫶
This band and song has given me the courage to spur on and keep going thank you so much citizen soldier you have no idea how much youve helped me youve saved my life literally
This song
I've had a very hard life. Sexually abused, physically abused and mentally abused.. I'm not a victim or survivor. I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I will overcome and win against all my abusers and bullies. I WON'T BREAK OR BACK DOWN!
A warrior molded by battle
OHHH MY GOOD
Is Fantastic ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰😊
🫶
I used to be suicidal, songs like this saved my life ❤❤❤
THE VOICES TOGETHER ARE MAGIC 😤🫶
Icon for Hire coming through again to remind us to stay off that victim card (Sorry About Your Parents truly changed my life a few years ago and I'm forever thankful for that)
Yes. It always surprises me how often people seem to misunderstand Sorry About Your Parents. Like...it's sarcastic, guys. At least, much of it is.
“When it rains you can drown or you can be baptized” gave me full body goosebumps, it’s been 4 and a half years since it happened, but when I gave my life to God something just felt different, it felt like there was always a warm hug when I needed it. But, I shouldn’t have continued trying to rely on people to help me after that, it only made things worse, but, I’ll get there again, I know I will. This song hits so incredibly deeply, especially after just having a panic attack the other day from seeing ‘him’ even if it was just a picture it was still the same face.. and I just can’t…
"Ill be the mess, you be the medicine." "I think I'm sick!" Awesome collab!!
This song got me tearing today . Over the last. 3 months i lost my job and found out i was pre diabetic . The job i was laid off from was, My dream job what i whent to college for and busted my but for . I got my old job as a security guard for know. Iv been threw hell many times its time to bounce back again great song great message.
Childhood trauma survivor, you have inspired me to get help and to talk more about my childhood trauma. What i went thought im a survivor and won't let trauma beat me. Thank you, citizensoldier and icon for hire thank u
Today im deciding to be a Survivor. Today is beginning of the rest of my life. I am walking away from my addictions and my abusers. My life ia mine and mine alone
Powerful song i needed to hear, fighting a mental War with Self-harm lately And a past with emotional/mental abuse
Still here and listening after all these years, thank you for all the songs, they've helped more than I can say 🖤🖤🖤
That line “Until I saved my soul with what I can control”
That hits me so damn hard, because when I make mistakes I always drown myself in my self hate and wishing I could change the past when I can’t control it! I’ve gone so far as to crack my own head open resulting in stitched because i felt so damn bad.
But when I did therapy again, and started taking anti depressnaites and started to control my self hate and try harder. I started to feel happy.
Lesson: The past can hurt, but when you see a way to save yourself. Dont wallow in how you wished you didn’t ended up in that dark place. Take the exit and fight with all your might 🥰
The version you teased with Line so Thin for ICU was my favorite version but this is good too.
I been waiting for this song another song on repeat
It's finally here 🫶
AHHHHHHHH!! TWO OF MY FAVE ARTISTS EVER COLLABING
Glad to hear that 🫶
And sometimes you cry while you climb, but you're still climbing! 💗
Since therapy I know I'm a survivor not a victim. Thanks to you I got my ass up ang got some help after a huge PTSD and depression surviver of child abuse and violence and a nearly ra.pa when I was nine.... After a huge trauma when I was in laber and nearly lost my both kids I was at rock bottom. This music saved my life
This song comes to the right time. Atm I talk myself down for no reasons and now I see Im a survivor that fight everytime I feel not well. I learn more ways to feel better when it happens so yeah. Im clearly stronger then I know. Its awesome.
I was taught to be a victor not a victim/ being a survivor isn’t being weak or strong sensitive or emotionless …it’s when you keep going even though you wanna die inside
Listening to this right after getting myself into more intensive therapy! Absolutely love it!
😍😍😍😍 two of my absolute favoret bands together in an absolute masterpeice!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this is beautiful

I absolutely love this group a group who was stuck in my head for all these years a group that came to me in my own time of need.

Hope it helps 🫶
No way! No way! Citizen Soldier & Icon For Hire collab?! I’m so excited to listen to this, you wouldn’t believe!
Now I just need to will Citizen Soldier & Written by Wolves, and Citizen Soldier & Dayseeker collabs into existence.
Would also love to see collabs with *deep inhale* Pop Evil, From Ashes To New, Papa Roach, Skillet, RED, Daughtry, Gemini Syndrome, Sevendust, Nonpoint, Breaking Benjamin, Saint Asonia, I Prevail, Shinedown, Halestorm, Seether, Adelitas Way, Parabelle, and Otherwise.
Also a collab (and tour) with Nothing More would be epic. Of course all the bands I listed in my previous comment would also be ones I'd like to see you guys on tour with as well.
Currently going through therapy to try and get past the ckuntless shit i went through up until i was 15. Im 17 now, and ive learned im no victim. Im a survivor. This song is definitely what i needed to hear today. I will survive 🤘
I love the way you guys tell stories through music. Keep up the amazing work. 💙
I don’t use this term often but this collab SLAPS…that’s the only way I can describe it🤩
I always called myself the "victim" because survivor felt... Presumptuous. Like I didn't reach a point in my life to be labeled as such, maybe?
I was 16, he was 33. I'm 22 now, and he doesn't have the kind of control over my entire existence that he had even 2yrs ago. I'm moving forward, therapy is going well- I don't deserve to belittle myself to just a victim of something, as if I'm still there IN the specific moment. ♡
What a great collaboration! Two of my favorite bands together in one beautiful song
I can't express just how happy I am to listen to a collab of two of my favourite artists in the world! This song hits home, like so many others, and I'm so grateful for the work that you do and the impact you have on your listeners, both you and Ariel. You've helped me so much with coping with so many traumatic life events, deaths of many loved ones, leaving an abusive relationship and others.. Keep doing what you do, creating art, helping and inspiring people to fight every day. I love you and wish you the best!! 🖤🖤🤘
victim of bullying 16 years.... I carry all of it no matter how much it hurts. I carry it proudly. I'm not a victim anymore I'm a survivor.
I went through so much abuse for 12 years. I’m a fucking survivor 💪🏼 my past don’t define me! In fact, it’s my stepping stool. I decided to climb and now I’m the happiest I’ve ever been ❤
Listening to this while waiting for a room in the psych hospital. This band has carried me through so much shit. Yet another amazing song! Can’t wait to listen to it more when I eventually get out of here.
