Lyrics:
I’m rough around the edges
Mistake me for pretentious
I get stuck in my head
It’s not personal, it’s just personal
I’ve been strong for too long
Sometimes I forget why I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m trying
I’m just a statistic
Just another tragic misfit
Ship that cliche to the clinic
Document my disposition
Then they put me in a box
Slap a label on the top
Tape me up and ship me off
Now I’m someone else’s problem
They call me damaged
I let them think what they like
They call me difficult
'Cause I don’t fit in the lines
But I didn’t get this far without any scars
I’m not brittle
Well, maybe just a little
A little
I’m not brittle
If I get defensive
Don’t say I'm oversensitive
Maybe I have a tendency to snap on people telling me,
“You fit inside this box we built, we know you better than yourself”
They’re lying
They’re lying
They’re lying
I tell myself
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
I'm alive, I'm not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
You’re alive, you’re not a diagnosis
Keep breathing, don’t lose focus
I’m not a diagnosis
Keep breathing
Don't lose focus

Can’t wait to play this one on tour😎 We’re hitting up 39 North American cities and doing VIP meet and greet in every single one! Grab your tickets NOW and let’s let the world we don’t need a record label when we have fans like you! 🥰🤘 xoxo Ariel
Still no UK gig dates, kinda makes me sad
I love your songs they have gotten me threw quite a few times
Love your music even though I can't relate personally 👌🏻💙
Their old label didn't give them any music video for their second album, and we've given them 6 so far for this album. Applause to everyone who helped make this happen 👏 🙌
Actually 5 with this album, but I want Background Sad snd Sticks and Stones both to be made into music videos after hearing them both.
@@whitevine9544 Dont forget about Supposed To Be- You Can't Kill Us was another community-funded project.
@@Karu_TC yes, but that was another album. If you count Hollow that makes 6 on this one because of the deluxe verision and I forgot about that one.
@@whitevine9544
Ngl I missed the bit where they said "for this album" but considering it's on the deluxe im including hollow
@@Karu_TC I guess I have to include it too, but it came out in 2019, that I didn't think of it for this album.
okay so I cried I totally understood the stories you both were telling... Ariel with depression and feeling held back and Shawn and his struggles with drinking. so real and raw and vulnerable. best one yet. a fucking HIT.
Tbh same, well atleast teary-eyed. When I saw that they had shawn with the bottles I was like damn they're really going there. The amount of effort they put into their music and the visuals are amazing.
Well said.
Same... I struggle with both, so it hit :')
Actually I think it is more deep than that.
@@igv5870 look like you don't know how deep depression can be...
"I'm alive, not a diagnosis" I really love this line
The beginning scared me a lot, I thought Ariel was dying, and Shawn's despair made me cry like a cupcake.
They got right down to business
"You fit inside this box we built,we know better than yourself"
That hits home.
I think many will agree with me that this music is tearing us to pieces, and then, with the same success, collects our souls again
Exactly what so many of us need! We need to be reborn from our pain, doubts, self hatred and all the things she sang about before that drew us to her music in the earlier albums. She’s teaching people how to be a Phoenix and I absolutely love it!
Ok... But can we talk about how gorgeous this music video is? Not just visually speaking, but also referring to the message behind the visuals. Rel was being held back by her struggles with her mental health. Shawn was drowning in addiction. I feel like they were slipping through the cracks in each other's grips.
The labels were overwhelming. They were so worried about the labels that they never focused on getting well.
The POWER I felt when Rel woke up at the end. And when she and Shawn were performing together. There's something indescribably beautiful about seeing them together, healing at the end of their storms.
I don't know if you will read this after two years, but as a recovered alcoholic, I thank you. This song says so much that most will never understand. I know the person that wrote this suffered their own, or had someone close that did. It also calls out that once an addict, always an addict and that every single day is another battle for yourself, and that every day you survive is another victory.
Keep up the good fight. Now, and forever.
My daughter begged me for tickets to your show in Columbus Ohio, finally I caved and got us both tickets, I had no Idea who you were. I stayed out on the patio having a few drinks and this kid with a spiky mohawk came out, we talked for a while, I gave him shit about his haircut, come to find out it was Shawn
Lol
I am so happy they chose this song! It's just crazy relatable for me, anxiety and depression are a daily struggle and I hate that people think if you have certain things you shouldn't BE anxious or depressed, I hate that there's STILL a stigma around mental health and that we slipped so bad in helping those in need during COVID-19. I know it's been said to death, but I SO needed this album in 2021, I can't stop listening to the whole thing over and over.
This song is an absolute belter (volume up, sing your heart out in the car belter). But with this video it hits differently. The new album is fantastic and you guys are doing a phenomenal job!
Really is! I had this on full blast with windows down cuz everyone needs to hear this song!
I've been hooked on this song, was considering starting a petition that this one be made into a music video. Now I got my wish... but I'll be on the road when released :(
Ariel and Shaw you both have out done you’re self again, you absolutely killed it with this song and video truly missing you guys in concert.
Shawn*
Yusssss, I was hoping this would be the next music video. Though I also wouldn't be mad if you made one for 'Sticks and Stones'. 😜 Can't wait! [UPDATE] I AM HURT. I AM VERY MUCH HURT. (But it was amazing -- great job, you guys!)
that update is a Large Mood
What was your favorite part of the video?? We'd love to know.
Привет из России!
Вы классная группа.
Hello from Russia!
You are a cool group
@Sofía Álvarez yes exactly my opinion :)
Honestly, the emotional punch in the gut when Ariel was being wheeled down the hall and Shawn was losing hold of her hand and screaming GOT ME. As did the rest of the video, but that was the first shot that made me really feel it and get into the narrative. The whole thing was a masterpiece, though.
all of it!
@@RissaFaith94 yo for real m8
An absolute banger. Can always feel the raw emotion through Ariel's voice too, not many artists can convey emotion this well. I wish every alterative music fan knew about Icon, they deserve to blow up big time. This is the kind of music that can help those that struggle get through the day.
I can't push the Like-Button as often as I'd like to...
Greetings from Germany!
This was the first song I heard for this album when it first dropped and it gave me such an amazing first impression. I wish I could put my finger on exactly what it is, but lyrically it hits very deeply for me. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing this song.
Joey check out this new band, maybe you like it too. It's a similar style with a female singer
PENUMBRA-Tormento(video)Cheers from Argentina. Let me know if you like it Joey!
This band never disappoints, I've never personally struggled with depression but yet I feel such a strong connection with this Art they make & start feel the urge to cry. I just love them so much & believe they deserve so much more recognition. 💗
ariel, your songs give off so much strength to those all struggling with anything, and everybody is. Anyone that says they never struggle are lying. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what you have, how you look, who you are in any shape or form, everyone struggles with something and that's ok to admit. what doesn't seem like a big deal to one person, it's life and death to another person. It's all in how an individual person perceives something. you aren't 'screwed up' for having your individual thoughts and feelings on something. YOU are and individual and you can feel what you feel without there needing to be a reason for it and that's ok. no one has to be able to see that you're tearing yourself up inside your head. Ariel really shows that you don't need to hide it until it brings you to life or death. this song brings so much strength to fight it all and come back to yourself and take control.
Me thinking the music videos couldn't possibly top last one standing 🤯🤯🤯
The MV is absolutely gorgeous! Gracious, simple looking yet very impactful. Props for making so many MVs this far, we're really getting spoiled here!
I am covering this song for a college class. This band is a reason I'm alive.
This new era of Icon for Hire is just amazing. Thank you so much!
Loved it, incredible song, the loud "waaaa" noises and you just casually threw in an oscar-worthy performance from Shawn?! You over-achievers :P
I literally cried after the line "I'm alive, I'm not a diagnosis"
Holy crap this was so powerful and the messages behind the visuals were amazing!! This is definitely up there with under the knife for me. I think this is the best video you've released so far!!!!!
Atw
The glitchy guitar break between verse and chorus is SOLID 👌🔥
I just found Icon for Hire like 2 months ago, it’s so rare to find music now a days with meaningful and down to earth lyrics. Absolutely amazing band and this song kicks ass. You found a life long fan keep it up 🤙🏽
this song is one of my favorites; luv yaaaaaaa
One word: Goosebumps.
Such a unique beautiful music and band truly iconic much love keep it up icon army for life ❤ rock on 🤘 great rap flow as well
Not sure why this isn't a huge hit..
"ok.. maybe Just a little ..."
your face Ariel, that emotion.. raw power i can connect and relate to... rock 2021!!!
Just when I think you two can't be any more incredible, you stun me with this masterpiece. I know the strength it takes to be this vulnerable and I am in awe of your bravery. Thank you for constantly reminding your fans that we are not alone, that even our icons struggle. 💜
This video was such a punch to the gut with emotions. Powerful video that really emphasizes how much personal stories were laid bare on the Amorphous album. The song itself had already grabbed me up since first listening, but this video really added to the impact.
This is the kind of song that makes me wish i had a licence so that i can drive and vibe and let everything out in solitude and scream it at the top of my lungs
I just discovered this band yesterday. Good timing to become a fan
Holy moly this video is heartbreaking. Shawn's face in the beginning almost made me cry right off the bat.
This is probably the first time a music video has ever made me cry
I can relate to these lyrics so much.. my life took a the worse turn when I was 14 when I was stabbed and suffered a stroke because of trauma it was hard in my health mental. People talking and acting like I was brittle and fragile but that only had my mental health worse, I learnt to brush it of now I don’t care what they think of me.
been strong for too long.... seconds in and its so relatable....
I'm completely blown away.....every song is so wonderous.
This is definitely the best song and best video off this album!
This has been my favorite song. I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which the medical system ignores and was going crazy for years with it unidentified
Keep your spirit stronger than your physical. Believe yourself more than they say. Smile always.☺️
The song is perfect and Ariel looks like angel❤
I have no clue where yall been all my life buy this song came up on my Spotify and now ur my favorite people. Spoke to me so bard. The whole album. So ready to listen to all ur albums.
this is so exciting!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
chase carneson brought me here. amazing intense song. great voice.
We love Chase!!
This hits home so real. When I was 11 year's old I had to have brain surgery. From 11 till I was 15 I had three Brain surgeries and 33 radiation treatments. I know how it is, a big portion of people thinking I was made of porcelain that could break. Thank God after all that plus SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH more I can't say here. I believe I'm a stronger person now.
I love this!
One day I had my Spotify on shuffle and your music was playing. I immediately became a fan. Love this song and this video is powerful. Please keep making music.
So excited!
wow. Just WOW 💜
OMG!!! so good!!!

Everything about this music video is phenomenal. It’s so raw and beautiful. MV of the year
Love it.
Very nicely done relating with depression and how the song can be a scar too we aren't just brittle.
Love the song, great lyrics. Glad you're still plugging along
This hits.
I am in love with the aesthetics! Especially the white fabric that is pulled by the background dancers. So much detail went into their costumes too! And then there is the mix of perspectives from Ariel in white and Shawn in red... So well done!
*So EPIC!*
OMG!! I don't even have words for how amazing this is!! There's that first emotional punch to the gut of the opening! the fact that right until the end they're shown preforming separately, only to then come together to play back to back in those amazing white and silver outfits! the fact that both were shown struggling in their own way!! This was absolutely amazing!!!
Damn that was amazing
I understand and love that smile at the end.
Whoa. That hits deep
