Dedicated to this cruel 🌎 who gave me abusive parents, mental illness, eye issues, health issues of all sorts. I was cursed since birth, always different from my peers, and wish I never existed. Even stupid demons attacked me in dreams, walk through me daily, etc. Too bad life is not fair, but I hope you all are blessed with a more satisfactory life, than I ever will get.
Wow, that's alot, can only pray that it got better....those are major problems & that's a bad hand, & yeah u had it much worse but hear is my sister's words last year, my worst bday--> called, wish me a happy bday, asks how am I... I just started crying it was the most horrible birthday I could remember she paused as if to say something smart, but instead said something so real..."sometimes ur bdays just suck, they are not ALL great bc I've had a few wish cud 4get myself..." In that moment, I realized she didn't know whole story, but cud relate herself the feeling-- I myself rt now realized I'm going thru a depression again-- been on lexapro b4 so I know, but THIS feeling is a NUMB TO EVERYTHING thing...41yrs old (7/5), just lost job, single, no kids, live @ moms, (dad died in my college yrs)-- job thing, then an ex making me feel very unwanted were last things broke me, and the 1st time in a long time I had NO PLAN....I only know going 1 day, try2 make it 2 end of week & try in-between to make it better 🤟💖✨️ Seether's song "Fine" helped me alot
whatever you are is good enough! I'm not sure if youve heard that enough but depression stinks. you've got to find a light and grab hold of it. even if its a 10 minute nike ride or a 2 hour hike with your favorite music in your ear or your favorite podcast. it could be sitting under a tree with a good book. its enough to be yourself. Do you find yourself wanting more than you had before? Love has shown you a rainbow. ~Children of the sun by Mandril
I'm sorry for what you went through your here for a reason don't ever feel like you should not be here you're parents shouldn't be here but you know what idk your religion but god seen them and the devil gonna love them in hell where they deserve to be
Adam's writing and that mix of great riffs plus kind of a sad ballad is just great. We tried to do a mix of rock and power ballad with one of our latest song, would love your views on it. Return from people liking the same music is always great. stay safe in the meantime : ua-cam.com/video/RCZScxA1Hk4/v-deo.html
As a parent this song resonates harder than when I wasn’t a parent cuz after being called ugly fat stupid worthless by my mother I would listen to this as well as other TDG songs and cry about it, vowing to never make my own child feel the way I did. So music like this never has to become her therapy.
This song may work in many situations, parental, domestic abuse,people trying to tell you how to live ... but word for word its how i feel towards the negitave voice in my head. When im depressed it feels like a different person in my head but when im singing this song aimed at the other side of myself it feels the most accurate and real
Well most people are there neighbor and the spectrum is wide when I m thinking of my parents singing this I feel kinda shame in expecting them to be civialized I mean Africa aint that far away and i know what my parents nature is ... Hearing you reflect it to your other side tho makes me kinda feel as tho the song then turns away from parental towards child and is a inner conflict so many anti Christian foneys preaching wrong or Paul's word and not focused on god I almost feel like everything hostile is directed at me and they think I m their dad
Yeah it's also about people accusing you of being what they are. For instance someone says you're stupid they may actually be the stupid one and you need to separate from them to show the contrast.
This song is directed to his parents but can be applied to every other type of relationship that exsists. Sung with so much passion & conviction. As are all his songs. There's always a song by them that at some point always seems to fit into my life. Thank you Adam I love you. You always seem to find my nerve and touch it. Never stop making your music.Xxxx 🌬️🎤
It wasn't directed toward his parents. "It's about being told how to live your life. When we were growing up, we saw it sort of first hand. A lot of our friends were pushed into doing jobs their parents were telling them to do. It's about being pushed around and told how to live your life and standing up for yourself."
@@solarxffect_8623 late 2000s/2010s were my preteen and teen years haha the perfect age for all the best emo/pop punk bands oh my god. Still listen to them all. No shame. All my other favourite bands are mostly 90s so I feel like I was born in the wrong era sometimes lol
every time I was ready to end it, if you know what I mean, I listen to them and this song just makes me feel so energetic and I sing along, it tells about my life. These guys, they don't realize how many people they support, it's like they are our voice. I will always love them, they reach out to my heart and give me hope. A person who doesn't know what thats like, doesn't understand.

This should become an anthem for all those who are bullied for whatever reason and no matter who it is bullying them, jerks, "friends", family, because they get good grades, they are simply smaller, their gender, transgender, sexuality, who cares. Be yourself, prove them wrong, be better than them.
Once there was an ugly barnacle I'm assuming you are wearing clothes you bought at a store right now, and because of the way modern clothing is made you are also sinning by wearing cloth of multiple types of thread. I don't give a shit if you want to hide your hate of gays behind the Bible, but you may want to start actually following the thing if you want to use it as an excuse. That also meaning killing women who have sex before marriage and killing women who have a divorce. Read up, friend.
TheDireLynx I've read up friend. Christians do not have to adhere to Jewish secular law. I'm not sinning by wearing clothes I bought at a store. You're just ignorant.
Once there was an ugly barnacle That's just the tip of the iceberg. Now that we can both agree that the Bible and variants of it aren't always moral, do you understand that morality comes from those around us and what influences us, meaning society around us? This is how Atheists can still have morals without believing the bible. By the way, do you happen to know what bible you follow? King James perhaps?
TheDireLynx The Bible is not just a religious book, but also a historical one. The Church has made its dogmas based off of the teachings from the Bible. Jewish secular law had nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. It just happened to be part of the lives of those who lived in that time. Morality certainly does not come from those around us. Right is always right and wrong is always wrong. They never change because they were defined by God. Atheists cannot have morals because they're constantly changing and based off mere opinions. What was wrong yesterday could be right today and vise versa. That isn't morality. That's stupidity. I use the Douay-Rheims Bible.
John McClane I think some bands have changed more but still, all bands change somewhat. I think that even though they haven't changed as much as many other bands have, people will still want the old stuff back. Always.
Adam McCann Point taken. Even so, I'll never understand this "I miss the old [insert group here]" comment, as the new music does not replace the old. You're very very rarely going to find a group that consistently releases albums with similar quality and nearly similar sound. Musical evolution is inevitable, so any hopes for congruity is simply a pipe dream. And when you do have congruity, more often than not it just starts to stagnate. Such is the case for me and Three Days Grace, among other groups. I should probably add that I haven't been a huge fan of three days grace, I mostly just think their music is... averagely decent? I guess I would say.
Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, RED, POD, Drowning Pool, Papa Roach, System Of A Down, Saliva, Seether, etc. I miss the 2000's. EDIT: Thanks for 4k likes everyone! Here are some more bands: 12 Stones, Godsmack, Linkin Park, Crossfade, SpineShank, Disturbed, Nonpoint, Trust Company, Cold, Evans Blue, Limp Bizkit, Tool, Korn, Mudvayne, Adema, Staind, Puddle of Mudd. Also, check out underrated 90s band Engine and their album also called Engine.
Its crazy how these great songs find their way back into your life after years of being forgotten. This one really hits home! Great band, with a great song! Bunch of songs!
I was about to comment something similar! I keep seeing compilations of music from around this same time but none of them seem to include this song. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this song, it just feels like it had no cultural impact and like... how? It's so raw and so real!
For me this song is about my abusive parents. I was so close to ending up just like them but I chose to live a better life. I chose not to let those experiences hold me back from being a good woman. I'm nothing like them. I'm proud of that ❤
So glad to hear Lindsey, very sorry to hear that's your experience with those who are meant to bring you up with love and care. But I'm glad you know that no matter what no one defines you, only you.
Came back after the announcement just to say, this is where it all began for me at 6 years old. My mom got this cd when it came out an we watched the dvd that came with it of the making of the videos over and over again! Got to see them on the One X tour in Charlotte in 2007 an that was the greatest!! No offense to Matt but that’s just not TDG to me so I’ve been out of the loop since 2013 but I couldn’t be more excited! Welcome home Adam! 🙌 first TDG show at 10 years old, next one I’ll be 27 😭🤘🏻
So many bands like this would help me when I was having an episode, to many times I had a knife to close to me and just having these words shouted into my ear to never face that pain again, saved my life to many times...
lost a parent to addiction, losing another to alcohol, this song has resonated with me for 20 years and freed a generation of victims of narcissists. thank you tdg.
Lyrics: I could be mean I could be angry You know I could be just like you I could be fake I could be stupid You know I could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you I could be cold I could be ruthless You know I could be just like you I could be weak I could be senseless You know I could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you On my own 'Cause I can't take living with you I'm alone So I won't turn out like you want me to You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you I could be mean I could be angry You know I could be just like you
Omg. I remember in 2005 (or maybe 2006) coming home from work during my summer break from school, sitting at in ac at home and watching the Fuel channel and seeing this when it was brand new.
I have seizures and this song explains how I feel everytime someone says they understand me but they don't understand the mental effects it has on someone who just wants the pain to end
This tune helped me vent thru a rough patch, surrounded by phony, manipulative, conformist narcissists. Tx! One of my fave bands. Luv the unique sound and overall relatability, as well as emo behind it. Hope more songs coming
This song is a reflection of my life. From many years of verbal and physical abuse living under my mother's roof using fear to control me. I could have ended up like her, but despite everything, i'm the complete opposite of her. And I'll never change who I am.
My favourite song by Three Days Grace just for how relateable it comes across as my whole life I've been worried about the opinions of others and as a result I haven't been living the life I wanted but instead the life other's Insist I lead basically be just like them. This song showed me that I'm not alone and that there are many others who think just like me and the lyrics show me that Inspite of what everyone thinks of me and what they want me to do I can say no to them and live life on my own terms and have the courage to stay true to my principles and core values despite pressure from the external world to conform to the values of the majority of people but at the expense of losing my unique qualities and all the things that made up my authentic self. Thank you Three Days Grace for not only making great music with passion put into it but also music that speaks the truth not only for my life but also for the life of many others. Three Days Grace rule!
Man my mom was an abusive alcoholic and I showed her this song at around maybe age 14 and told her it was how I felt about her and she said “I ain’t stupid” 😂😅
Actually, it's not just this song, their old songs have the highest view count in their channel, after Adam left, the band want to shit. Their new songs are "ok" with Matt (I think that is what his name is.)
Anyone remember the days when this was on the radio? Those where the days. Now they that the broke up the days are gone... You will be missed Three Days Grace...
Not every single music video, just between the albums. He looks so different in the One X album compared to their self titled Three Days Grace album. Then came Transit of Venus and now he's in Saint Asonia and Matt Walst is trying to copy him
Three Days Grace's first ever number one hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. Adam Gontier reflected on the meaning behind this song; he said: "It's about being told how to live your life. When we were growing up, we saw it sort of first hand. A lot of our friends were pushed into doing jobs their parents were telling them to do. It's about being pushed around and told how to live your life and standing up for yourself." FULL SONG LYRICS I could be mean I could be angry You know I could be just like you I could be fake I could be stupid You know I could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you I could be cold I could be ruthless You know I could be just like you I could be weak I could be senseless You know I could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you On my own, because I can't take living with you I'm alone, so I won't turn out like you Want me to You thought you were standing beside me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me You were only in my way You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you I could be mean I could be angry You know I could be just like you
Yeah grew up in the same town as them went to the same high school lots of us wised up to the world at an early age. We like to just be ourselves where we come from.
The "you" in this song, the one who thought I could be just like it, in my take of this song, is just the void, the abandonment, the turned back, the despise, the act of letting one behind, the negligence. Sometimes the person who hurts you the most is the one who you never see, never talk to, it's someone who totally despised you and turned their back on you. They're not trying to mold you into aything, they're just ppl who don't care and if asked why they would answer "it's been like that, it will continue to be like that, nobody cares", so that's what they mean by "expect to be just like you". The one who turn his/her back on you expects you to lso be someone who never gives a shit about anyone. Someone who doesn't care about other people's feelings. Nothing hurts more than ignoring who loves you. Nothing says a person is cruel more than showing they don't care. A father that leaves his family, a romantic love that was never mutual, a selfish "friend". What your enemies wish for you really don't matter, but what those you care about mean or do to you, that's fucked up and when they actually don't care, that is where the most pain is.
Who needs a therapist when you have music like this! Three Days Grace thank you! Some people don’t know how to put words let alone music into something phenomenal!
I broke my mom's heart. She wanted to know what song reminded me of her. So I sent this to her. But she did more than break my heart. She broke my will an spirit to the point I didn't even feel like I was human. At 18 I had enough an left and I have done everything in my power to not be a bitter person that does nothing but drive everyone away. I wonder of bamds know how much their music actually helps people...
Many people also over exaggerate or misinterpret their parents intentions, it comes with being young. Though I don't know your personal experiences and I would never downplay anything you've been through, its just a general statement. Some things aren't only what we see, and they aren't always how we feel
@@-8h- Not exaggerating anything. She messed me up mentally. There was no more to the picture. I seen her get into knockdown drag outs with my younger sister. Now it wasn't all bad. She did teach me not to judge others be it by race, sexual preference and all that. But she damaged me horridly more than helped.
I know that I am just a stranger who you don't know from Adam but I hope it helps to tell you that you are stunning beautiful. I can't fix anyting going on in your life and the problems between you and your mother but I hope she sees what I see and what I'm sure anybody who looks at you sees, that you are absolutely perfect and gorgeous. Please don't ever forget that!
Zenith Wills The only way for me to hear rock music now is on xm or UA-cam in Florida we don't even a famous rock station anymore . We used to have like 10 rock stations lol
You know for some reason, I feel like you can use this song against people nowadays who are leftist and coming up with pronouns and transitioning in gender in crazy ways and then expecting everyone in the world to accept that.
The lead singer Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace is so awesome looking. I've always been pleased with his voice and his hotness. I loved all of their songs. The band as a whole never disappointed me. But this lead singer is awesome. I miss him with the group.
There has only been two singers with the band, Adam and Brads brother Matt Waist. This is Adam singing here. Matt's first single with the band is I am machine.
i first heard of three days grace at the age of 7 im now 18 going 19 and all of their songs past and present help me through my toughest times and i literally wanna meet them or just see them perform here at Austrralia
The fact that Adam is now officially back along with Mat is amazing.
Adam is the backbone of TDG
AND they're coming to Sonic Temple next year!!

It's pretty similar to Linkin Park's song "Numb" in my opinion. The overall message.
me too. i.. damn this hit hard
“You thought u were there to guide me , you were only in my way” just be hitting different now
time does wild things to one's perception eh?
This song is about being independent and being yourself regardless of what people try to change you into.
You looked it up on genius? Or did you find out somewhere else.
Honestly sounds more like he's talking to a parent
No most of Adams songs were about his dad.
Like my dad for example
Yeah it's also about people accusing you of being what they are. For instance someone says you're stupid they may actually be the stupid one and you need to separate from them to show the contrast.

It wasn't directed toward his parents.

John McClane I think some bands have changed more but still, all bands change somewhat. I think that even though they haven't changed as much as many other bands have, people will still want the old stuff back. Always.
Adam McCann Point taken.
Even so, I'll never understand this "I miss the old [insert group here]" comment, as the new music does not replace the old.
You're very very rarely going to find a group that consistently releases albums with similar quality and nearly similar sound. Musical evolution is inevitable, so any hopes for congruity is simply a pipe dream.
And when you do have congruity, more often than not it just starts to stagnate. Such is the case for me and Three Days Grace, among other groups.
I should probably add that I haven't been a huge fan of three days grace, I mostly just think their music is... averagely decent? I guess I would say.
1:42 funny part ever
Dude I have to say...Barry's energy i this video is like yes. I love it. He's like having the time of his life.
So comforting to hear Adam's voice he is basically telling you your not alone
Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, RED, POD, Drowning Pool, Papa Roach, System Of A Down, Saliva, Seether, etc. I miss the 2000's.
EDIT: Thanks for 4k likes everyone! Here are some more bands: 12 Stones, Godsmack, Linkin Park, Crossfade, SpineShank, Disturbed, Nonpoint, Trust Company, Cold, Evans Blue, Limp Bizkit, Tool, Korn, Mudvayne, Adema, Staind, Puddle of Mudd. Also, check out underrated 90s band Engine and their album also called Engine.
Wolf Hound Thousand Foot Krutch???
Yup. Move is a great song.
Linkin park
Starset??
A lot of my favorite songs are from the the 90’s and early 2000’s
Its crazy how these great songs find their way back into your life after years of being forgotten. This one really hits home! Great band, with a great song! Bunch of songs!
I was about to comment something similar! I keep seeing compilations of music from around this same time but none of them seem to include this song. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers this song, it just feels like it had no cultural impact and like... how? It's so raw and so real!
Congratulations to Nolan Smith singing this tune on stage as a special guest vocalist.
In Charlotte NC tonight
For me this song is about my abusive parents. I was so close to ending up just like them but I chose to live a better life. I chose not to let those experiences hold me back from being a good woman. I'm nothing like them. I'm proud of that ❤
Your a goat 👏
I chose to not be like my parents. Alcoholic mother, angry abusive father.
@@historychannel2317 I’m a young father and I’m proud to say same , I’m breaking cycles forsure
So glad to hear Lindsey, very sorry to hear that's your experience with those who are meant to bring you up with love and care. But I'm glad you know that no matter what no one defines you, only you.
Same
Came back after the announcement just to say, this is where it all began for me at 6 years old. My mom got this cd when it came out an we watched the dvd that came with it of the making of the videos over and over again! Got to see them on the One X tour in Charlotte in 2007 an that was the greatest!! No offense to Matt but that’s just not TDG to me so I’ve been out of the loop since 2013 but I couldn’t be more excited! Welcome home Adam! 🙌 first TDG show at 10 years old, next one I’ll be 27 😭🤘🏻
This helped me quit self harm. I'm still about a month and a half clean
So many bands like this would help me when I was having an episode, to many times I had a knife to close to me and just having these words shouted into my ear to never face that pain again, saved my life to many times...
@@trivialmagick6216 glad you didn't continue. Its not worth it brother, believe me.
thats amazing omhhh !!
Yay! Great job bud, I proud of you :,) keep it up!!
Thanks for the peeps helping me out, lots of hip hop been helpin me out too. Two months clean :)
MASTERPIECE.
lost a parent to addiction, losing another to alcohol, this song has resonated with me for 20 years and freed a generation of victims of narcissists. thank you tdg.
Listen to this at work everyday.!
Lyrics:
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
I could be fake
I could be stupid
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
I could be cold
I could be ruthless
You know I could be just like you
I could be weak
I could be senseless
You know I could be just like you
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
On my own
'Cause I can't take living with you
I'm alone
So I won't turn out like you want me to
You thought you were standing beside me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you (just like you)
You thought you were there to guide me
You were only in my way
You're wrong if you think that I'll be just like you
I could be mean
I could be angry
You know I could be just like you
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘

This is the classroom
Takes me back to middle school days 07-09
All flesh filled desires will receive the fire. Guard your souls with the streets of gold and God's love for the Holy Spirit guidance.
Omg. I remember in 2005 (or maybe 2006) coming home from work during my summer break from school, sitting at in ac at home and watching the Fuel channel and seeing this when it was brand new.
Where did the good 90's headbanger bands go? I miss this so much.
This is 2000s not 90s
Three days grace with adam gontier is orobabky the greatest rock band to ever exist. Perfect voice for rock a unit of a band epitome of rock
11 years old song, still great, respect!
Lol this song was made when I was born
TDG was huge back in the early 2000's
Tiki Styles they still are
No durr lol today's songs about people on wrecking balls and loving coco and people going up on the Tuesday :3
Olds songs way better
I never in my life realized how hard three days grace goes! ❤
I have seizures and this song explains how I feel everytime someone says they understand me but they don't understand the mental effects it has on someone who just wants the pain to end
This tune helped me vent thru a rough patch, surrounded by phony, manipulative, conformist narcissists. Tx! One of my fave bands. Luv the unique sound and overall relatability, as well as emo behind it. Hope more songs coming
This song could my on my epitaph
I miss when bands like three days grace breaking Benjamin and linkin park along with system of the down was at there prime
B.B. is still awesome
Same..
Got to see b.b.plenty of times they put on a awesome show
Check out Adam Gontier's band,Saint Asonia.Their new album coming this Fall
All these bands and countless other bands from that era are still awesome
I'm having a three days Grace kind of night
kristy Heineman I am having a three days grace kind of life
year for me
I'm having a three days grace depression (if that makes sense)
:,D
relatable
Sweetpea11 usually they're what helps people get out of depression not the cause
This song makes me feel every emotion of my mentally abusive grandmother!
Gotta love the start of the three days Grace golden age
This song is a reflection of my life. From many years of verbal and physical abuse living under my mother's roof using fear to control me. I could have ended up like her, but despite everything, i'm the complete opposite of her. And I'll never change who I am.
My favourite song by Three Days Grace just for how relateable it comes across as my whole life I've been worried about the opinions of others and as a result I haven't been living the life I wanted but instead the life other's Insist I lead basically be just like them.
This song showed me that I'm not alone and that there are many others who think just like me and the lyrics show me that Inspite of what everyone thinks of me and what they want me to do I can say no to them and live life on my own terms and have the courage to stay true to my principles and core values despite pressure from the external world to conform to the values of the majority of people but at the expense of losing my unique qualities and all the things that made up my authentic self.
Thank you Three Days Grace for not only making great music with passion put into it but also music that speaks the truth not only for my life but also for the life of many others.
Three Days Grace rule!
Amen 🙏
Well said
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘
it's my favorite song from three days grace as well
Best 17 seconds anyone and everyone has had/ will enjoy in their life
Songs when people put emotions behind them. So different than the songs today.
This was my go to as a kid my dad was verbally and mentally abusive these songs helped me thru tough times 💔
Man my mom was an abusive alcoholic and I showed her this song at around maybe age 14 and told her it was how I felt about her and she said “I ain’t stupid” 😂😅
Are we admitting in 2025 that this was an absolute banger?
This song helps me vent about my parental issues lol
The video is actually about the covid lockdown
And a legendary rock band on UA-cam was born with this video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Actually, it's not just this song, their old songs have the highest view count in their channel, after Adam left, the band want to shit. Their new songs are "ok" with Matt (I think that is what his name is.)
alternative rock*
+Ryan Boudreaux Not really video but song lol
Anyone remember the days when this was on the radio? Those where the days. Now they that the broke up the days are gone... You will be missed Three Days Grace...
They're not broken up though, Adam just left the band.
Without Adam its not Three days grace ( my opinion )
I dedicated this song to my dad when I was still in his custody. I've been free since 15 and I still don't regret it.
This song is one of those songs that just stays in your memory, forever.
This came out when I was 12, I am 26 now. Wow. Still loving it
I know how u feel am 31 now good time back then
well, if it came out when you were 12 then you're 22 now since it's been ten years xD
Vizor xD ye I read that and just look at when it came out and was like um ok but statistically speaking that not right
@@VizorOnUA-cam this came out in 2003 it published on UA-cam in 2009
@@VizorOnUA-cam bruh this came out in '03 this was 16 years ago check your math lmao
I can listen to Three Days Grace, any day, any time, any mood. They are an amazing band.
For real my friend...
Best song of this album in my opinion
Honestly Adam looks different in every single music video...
When “I Hate Everything About You” came out, I thought it was Ewen McGregor
Carlo Toledo imagine replying to a 2 year old comment
Pamela Morris but his voice is still the same
Yep lol, I still miss him in the band but I think Matt is doing a good job :v
Not every single music video, just between the albums. He looks so different in the One X album compared to their self titled Three Days Grace album. Then came Transit of Venus and now he's in Saint Asonia and Matt Walst is trying to copy him
Three Days Grace's first ever number one hit on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. Adam Gontier reflected on the meaning behind this song; he said:
"It's about being told how to live your life. When we were growing up, we saw it sort of first hand. A lot of our friends were pushed into doing jobs their parents were telling them to do. It's about being pushed around and told how to live your life and standing up for yourself."

Coolio
Yeah grew up in the same town as them went to the same high school lots of us wised up to the world at an early age. We like to just be ourselves where we come from.
I could eat meat, but I could be hungry.
Lyrics are so simple, but strong.
@@euphority_delay7978 haha hahahahaha hahahahaha
this is one of those songs that no matter how old i get still feels relevant to today
Can't believe it's been 20 years...
The "you" in this song, the one who thought I could be just like it, in my take of this song, is just the void, the abandonment, the turned back, the despise, the act of letting one behind, the negligence. Sometimes the person who hurts you the most is the one who you never see, never talk to, it's someone who totally despised you and turned their back on you. They're not trying to mold you into aything, they're just ppl who don't care and if asked why they would answer "it's been like that, it will continue to be like that, nobody cares", so that's what they mean by "expect to be just like you". The one who turn his/her back on you expects you to lso be someone who never gives a shit about anyone. Someone who doesn't care about other people's feelings. Nothing hurts more than ignoring who loves you. Nothing says a person is cruel more than showing they don't care. A father that leaves his family, a romantic love that was never mutual, a selfish "friend". What your enemies wish for you really don't matter, but what those you care about mean or do to you, that's fucked up and when they actually don't care, that is where the most pain is.
He's just soo good looking and a great singer.
Cindy Mcswain ❤️
He was just the boy next door in Norwood.
Everyone already knew that Three Days Grace was my favorite rock and roll band.
Don't need you, I need a friend that cares about me. That takes my hand everytime i cry.
Who needs a therapist when you have music like this! Three Days Grace thank you! Some people don’t know how to put words let alone music into something phenomenal!
Brilliant ❤️
I love the voice 0:36
If we all come together, we could fight this corrupt system.
to this day this song is 🔥
Can we all just appreciate how cool Barry is?
I love the security guards in this video especially the one that walks up to the headbanger LOL
You're right 😂
he's like "you better fucking stop you shit head" 😂😂😂
+UndeadGamer #1
I read that right as that scene came up
Rage And Ace I literally just saw your comment as the scene happened
Yea the guards are like stop head banging that’s illegal!! Like LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I miss this
I broke my mom's heart. She wanted to know what song reminded me of her. So I sent this to her. But she did more than break my heart. She broke my will an spirit to the point I didn't even feel like I was human. At 18 I had enough an left and I have done everything in my power to not be a bitter person that does nothing but drive everyone away. I wonder of bamds know how much their music actually helps people...
Many people also over exaggerate or misinterpret their parents intentions, it comes with being young. Though I don't know your personal experiences and I would never downplay anything you've been through, its just a general statement. Some things aren't only what we see, and they aren't always how we feel
@@-8h- Not exaggerating anything. She messed me up mentally. There was no more to the picture. I seen her get into knockdown drag outs with my younger sister. Now it wasn't all bad. She did teach me not to judge others be it by race, sexual preference and all that. But she damaged me horridly more than helped.
Xei Zael same here same here
@@-8h- bruh we exaggerate our past?trauma will stay for ever and u remember details
I know that I am just a stranger who you don't know from Adam but I hope it helps to tell you that you are stunning beautiful. I can't fix anyting going on in your life and the problems between you and your mother but I hope she sees what I see and what I'm sure anybody who looks at you sees, that you are absolutely perfect and gorgeous. Please don't ever forget that!
Just heard this song on Sunday night football had to look it up .
Rap music is dead rock music is dead i am glad i was born in 90s !
go the packers :D
+Squidgaming 9111 say what
+Black Koshinomi What do you mean rock music is dead?
Zenith Wills The only way for me to hear rock music now is on xm or UA-cam in Florida we don't even a famous rock station anymore .
We used to have like 10 rock stations lol
Black Koshinomi Well at least where I am we have two Rock stations. I do wish Rock would become main stream again tho. :(((
Best Three Days Grace era 2003-2006! 🎸🤘🏻
Bro this music video was off the chain on mtv in the afternoons
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘🐺
Adam is just... Ughhhhhh❤️
Indeed.
indeed he is i wish he had never eft the band in the first place
+Lilly Herrick he's got a new band now and they got good music too. saint asonia is the name
+topher 664 Even with Adam, Saint Asonia just fucking sucks compared to the new 3DG album with Matt.
maybe in your opinion but i personally dont like any of the new three days grace musi2
Who's here after hearing that Adam Gontier come back and officially reunites with Three Days Grace?
Loving it still
I just found this song today and I love it, songs nowadays don't have this type of energy
You know for some reason, I feel like you can use this song against people nowadays who are leftist and coming up with pronouns and transitioning in gender in crazy ways and then expecting everyone in the world to accept that.
* loops for the billionth time and still loves it to bits*
I haven't heard this song since like 2012. I'm so glad that i stumbled across it today. I absolutely love this song.
This is the very first rock music I listened to and what got me into rock. Music like this is simply gold
missed these songs ❤ they've never made a bad song
You can never beat Adam ❤️this man will go down as a legend his voice doesn’t need auto tune
I remember listening to this in middle school and now I’m close to hitting 30 and it is still so relatable to my life dealing with my parents…
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘🐺 🤘
Thanks, im listening now and still helping.
The lead singer Adam Gontier of Three Days Grace is so awesome looking. I've always been pleased with his voice and his hotness. I loved all of their songs. The band as a whole never disappointed me. But this lead singer is awesome. I miss him with the group.
There has only been two singers with the band, Adam and Brads brother Matt Waist. This is Adam singing here. Matt's first single with the band is I am machine.
@@leroy470 His first song was "Painkiller".
And the last good song in my opinion.
@@dwrkurailied2265 what wrong so called life it's good in my opinion
i first heard of three days grace at the age of 7 im now 18 going 19 and all of their songs past and present help me through my toughest times and i literally wanna meet them or just see them perform here at Austrralia
2024! Adam is back!
