Lyrics:
I don’t wanna break down but I’m feeling low
Let me sink to the bottom
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat
Inside I’m still hollow
I know I’m not my thoughts, but my thoughts don’t know that yet
Sometimes I try to sneak up on the voice inside my head
I've tried to meditate cuz they tell me it’ll help
But the last thing I need’s more time alone inside myself
I know I’m not unique, we all got broken brains
Culture recently decided being crazy is okay
And now we all can talk about it on our social feeds
"Having a rough day", hashtag mental health awareness week
I know that’s progress, we don’t have to hide no more
But it leaves me wondering why we ain’t said this stuff before
Like were we always all crazy, and we all just kept quiet?
Are we on the same page, with what we’re identifying?
And if crazy's the new normal, then it’s not that crazy, is it?
Cuz the word by definition means it sits outside the system
And how can we tell the difference between sick and trying to fit in
And if everybody’s crazy then who’s supposed to fix it?
I don’t wanna break down but I’m feeling low
Let me sink to the bottom
Air in my lungs keeping me afloat
Inside I’m still hollow
I don’t wanna break down so where do I go?
My screams sink to the bottom
Top of my lungs just an echo
Inside I’m still hollow
No one told me it could get this bad, this fast
Guess we only hear about the struggle after its passed
Getting easier to open up, share what we’ve lost
Good to know I’m not alone, but if I’m really being honest
I kind of hope there’s something wrong with me
I kind of hope this isn’t how it’s supposed to be
I pray to god it’s not normal
Crying on the floor, I don’t wanna do this anymore though

When the roles get reversed it made the meaning of the song get so much deeper
Therapists often have their own therapists (or so I'm told)
@@reese1339 Therapist almost always do, sometimes it's mandatory
I didnt really understand the twist well sort of but I'm not sure can you explain it to me?
@@mabellopez6364 it plays off of the line "if we are all crazy who is supposed to fix it?" Shawn started as the therapist. When the twist occurs and shows she also acts as a therapist. It reflects that even though we see therapists/therapy as a way to get better, the people who are helping fix our problems are having to get help from others with thiers. Thus to moral dilemma of the "crazy" helping the "crazy" get better.
@@mabellopez6364 In addition to what Pica Pantone said, we all have problems. The people that help us have their own set too. We are all a little crazy (which is what the song is about - the difference between normal-crazy and abnormal-crazy). (Please do not take offense at my usage of the word crazy here)
Ariel: *throwing things, having a meltdown*
Shawn: *writes in notes, checks watch*
Yep. And it perfectly describes all the "help" most of us are getting :))))
@@clumsygoblin A therapist is supposed to listen.
@@ax3247 I know. I just have a bunch of bad experiences. Sometimes people need at least a slight response
@@clumsygoblin But that has nothing to do with the video. He is doing what he's supposed to.
The video expresses feelings. Art is supposed to have a different meaning for each of us. So you don't have to explain what I should feel about it
Mental health is not a joke. This band kept me alive.
❤️
Real Shit. Hope your still doin good bud.
For real buddy! I feel this way all the time when I talk to people about it
Wow
I'm both bi-polar and with you
That line about mental health awareness week is so legitimately true. Years and years digging on the people who had real problems, telling them to "just deal with it", but after a few celebrities/musicians off themselves, it becomes a real problem.
I hope "becomes a real problem" is short for "becomes a real problem in the public consciousness".
@@teaartist6455 *raises hand to second this*
...I have to agree there.
Let alone with the original comment.
That was what the OP meant. Society doesn't care about mental health until a celebrity kills themselves.
Things like mental health awareness week has came from a long difficult effort to raise awareness and lower stigma, A effort organization still fight for.
I agree. I've been told by teachers and therapists and people in my life to just man up and get over it. That I'm just not trying hard enough
I literally had a mental breakdown last night about this exact stuff. When you said, “I kinda hope there’s something wrong with me” I felt that too hard
Not to intrude, but if you do have those kinds of experiences of wanting to have something wrong with you because that'd explain your experiences, it's fairly likely that you do have some issue.
Keep fighting and keep trying to find the answer.
I don't know how it'll be for you, but for me, being able to put a name on it and connecting with people that have similar experiences was very liberating.
I feel you a year ago...kinda around when the song came out I was literally crying on the floor... detoxing off a man
Same....
I don't have much control over my energy level and how it's expressed
and I get physical stress without any thoughts or actions
it's more of a negative
I can't do things if I'm too stressed
sometimes I just physically can't I'm not paralyzed it's just actually painful and I get twitchy
I'm afraid to get a blood test because what if I'm not iron deficient
and it can't be fixed
drinking helps to feel things in my head. im so numb to it all. life is just going by and im not a part of it. every so often ill become human for a day but it dont last.
SHAWN WITH GLASSES
ARIEL WITH SPIKES
AND THERAPIST ARIEL
STOP MY HEART
I need that jacket
The end tho
"If every-bodies crazy than who's suppose to fix it"
And the last part where she's the therapist trying to fix the patient.
It's brilliant. I don't even have the words to describe how true this is.
stay strong 💖💖
“I kinda hope there’s something wrong with me, I kinda hope this isn’t how it’s supposed to be, I pray to god it’s not normal” resonated with me so hard!! Like yes! Someone else gets it!
My whole family says “oh you’re just looking for an excuse”
I'm really sorry that Sucks :'(
An excuse. Feels so familiar 🤔. I wish that wasn't true but it is. Everyone. Family. My ex girlfriend of 9 years. I'm just making an excuse. Almost 3 months of sobriety. I still hear it every day
I’m 46 and my family still thinks this. Been pushed away and treated like garbage since my 20s. Mental health is serious. I hide it as good as anyone but I’m breaking inside, screaming at everything
@samantharinker3144 I discovered this band only several days ago.
I swear this is possibly the best representation of how mental illness feels I've seen a while.
Christopher Edge Id love nothing more than sitting with her for a while and just pick her brain. Between this and “Happy Hurts” it sums up my life
Look up Anxiety by B-Mike.
Everyone is mentally ill. Think of morgan freeman.
This is biblical. I am sytiracal. Words mystical. You are physical. How deep is thine mind. It's infintacimal. Your mind has no equal. So how how deep is your well of information. Do you hear this conversation. Do you get a sensation.
Titty sprinkles.
If you heard another person's voice in your head.m you might be brain washed.
Because the brain cannot hear anything. Only your ears canm or your bones. Through vibrations. These are the temptations.
.
Titty sprinkles.
also Under The Knife made me cry
Can we just talk about how good Shawn looks in glasses?😂
I know, right
Right?!?
Nope not allowed to
Omg yesss so hot
Ariel: “The last thing i need is more time alone inside myself”
Me: **watches video** Yeah shes right about that
Yes
True🙌🏻🙌🏻
I wrote that line :) i love that she reworded it and used it :)
Lmbo,exactly I don't need more time alone in my head.
In literally listening to music cause I can't sleep due to that exact reason 😂
That "don't quit" Pillow's probably there to motivate the therapist
😂
But holy cow,
Yes,
In all seriousness.
yep :>
I think we've all wanted to trash a therapist's office at least once.
Or rock out in a therapy office...
RavenWritingdesk To be fair, I definitely had the urge to with one therapist. Though it was more out of frustration from them not understanding a word that came out of my mouth
Thankfully not my current therapist' s office but there's been a few
Oh most definitely!! My first therapist was utter CRAP. I'd walk out her room feeling like crap all the time. I can't help thinking if I was suicidal and she was my last hope for help; I'd be dead right now. I'm thankful for my psychiatrist tho, she was my light in the darkness.
All the time. I've been to about 5 therapists, in 2 years, all were shit, and I wanted to trash all of the rooms. It was always just a waste of time, it never worth a thing. Now I don't go to therapist. This way I have time for guitar lessons.
That "Turn Your Pain Into Art" cameo though
All you guys are talking about is Shawn and while I agree he looks good and Ariels voice is beautiful as always, is no one gonna talk about what the song is saying? Because it's true. This society has normalised mental health nowadays you see it all over social media. And the fact that so many of it is accurate and relatable makes it really is scary bc if a majority of people are feeling the way I do (I've had depression for 7 years now) then how the hell am I supposed to be ok? How are WE supposed to be okay? Is this normal? Ariel makes a point... I really hope it's just me and not the way things are supposed to be
Dude, maybe actually look up what Autism Spectrum Disorder is and how it affects people before arbitrarily deciding who has "real" problems and who doesn't?
The reason we see so much of it on social media is mainly because of the algorithms changing what you are shown.
Also, how come you can't seem to fathom that autistic people have real problems just becausethe problems autistic people face aren't identical or necessarily comparable to yours?
Just because someone doesn't have the exact same problems you do doesn't mean they don't have problems.
Autism can still cause problems, including mental health issues.
The suicide rates among autistic people are through the roof, and that's just the people who were diagnosed.
Autism is something we haven't known about for long and if you're not a male, white child or affected in a very blatant way you would probably be overlooked and will likely end up with a number of mental illnesses (or misdiagnosed as having mental illnesses), if you are diagnosed you'll be put through conversion therapy and come out with PTSD.
Autism itself is known since the 60s, but back then you were only diagnosed if the doctor was a specialist and your symptoms were extremely noticeable, the more Neurotypical-seeming ends of the spectrum, in the 90s people recognized that not everyone who's autistic was so obviously and that the people that can pretend to be (more) normal still struggle a lot.
@@user-or6mz4gy6i Lovely It takes a lot of hell before people come to identity as Autistic.
@@fleurboisvert8816 real ones, yeah, because they have no clue. Lots of posers wanting to justify their uncouthness by being Aspie, they have not so much hard times doing it.
Unfortunately in this world almost no one is ok. Everything we do is criticized and when it makes us upset we get told to shut up, but when famous people start saying something about it it's important. Usually at that point though people are scared to say anything
Part of it is also because of the times we fall on, too. Not to mention the internet has also given people so much access to information and so much access to more people. We're advancing fast on some things like realizing that mental health is prevalent among many of us... the next step IS to figure out how to fix it. For some people, it's financial stability, others it's access to healthcare (both mental and physical... actually, both of those should fall under healthcare), and for many it's the fact that they can't fit into society the way they need to in order to feel stable. Let's also not forget this feeling of dread that the world is ending due to climate change... fixing all those issues and others could do the world a lot of good.
3 years later and I still think this is one of their best songs.
For sure!
Who else is here before it becomes super duper famous?
Here
It's meee! Yup
Here
🙋🏻♂️
I was here when it was released can’t not with them being so good
My favorite part is where Ariel's voice hits that small strain at "and HOW CAN we tell the difference between sick and trying to fit"
That small part expresses so much emotion, and it really made this song a masterpiece for me. #IconArmy
Every time I'm feeling alone, it's so comforting to know that others have been there and climbed out.
Can't wait to see Icon live in Sacremento, November can't come soon enough
Me out loud: “Having depression is tough because I can’t post lyrics to my favorite songs, or people will worry about me.”
I kinda hope this isn’t how it’s supposed to be...
I published my playlist recently. People kind of had a wtf? attitude. It's kind of a whose who of Emo Bands from the 90s to now.
"And if crazy's the new normal then it's not that crazy, is it?
Cause the word by definition means it sits outside the system
And how can we tell difference between sick and tryna' fit in?
If everybody's crazy, then who's supposed to fix it?
"
I freaking love this line!!!!! the delivery the meaning oh my god its so perfect!!
My mom’s a therapist and I couldn’t stop thinking what her reaction would be if one of her clients did this during a session lol
The dancing or the throwing.
Nicki Minaj:I'm the best female rapper
Ariel:Hold my pinky hair
👏👏👏🎸🎶💙👍
Yes Ariel and Snow tha product are my favourite rappers.
👍👏🎤🎧🎶🎵
@@toxiczombiewolf5692 same here mate
this is no rap.. I listen to them since make a move came out, but this isn't good rap, if it supposed to be rap

Thanks 😍
💔💔💔😭😭
Imagine going crazy like this in an actual therapist’s office
Low key always wanted to do it but never got the chance to.
Lol I've done it, they don't appreciate it
I’ve done it, they just sat there and took it haha
My therapist was extremely chill that way
God I wish
I like that she was freaking out and he was just letting her do it. Anger really is a way of asking for help. You can lose yourself a little and your therapist can take care of you
when see ripped her book at 2:32 it made my heart go: 💔🥺
RIP Turn Your Pain into Art.
I had that same feel. And my immediate thought was "please let that be a fake book with a soft jacket to make it /look/ like a real book." lol Glad I'm not the only one.
The song is too amazing, i kept playing it on repeat so long even though I missed the guitars and heavier vibe that song really hooked me so bad
Idk, i like this song but.... Scripted will always have a special place in my heart
@@setsuzuya1751 I love scripted. But I do like their new style. A lot don't and it makes me sad.
Icon for Hire feat. Falling in Reverse. That would be the greatest collaboration of all time. 😱
OH MY GOD, YES!
hollow monster- Icon For Hire feat. Falling In Reverse
@@emmanouelafragaki7320 If this happened I would die happy
That would be so awesome!
This will always be one of my favorite songs ever made. Icon for Hire will always be amongst my favorite bands of all time, as it was their music that had me realizing something wasn't right with me and eventually ended with me finding the help i needed.
I feel this song, and its what helps when I'm feeling extremely down and wanting nothing more than to break and just give up on everything around me, myself included. It helps me find the strength to keep going though. As do many of their songs.
We can't wait to share this video with you! AND our North American + European tours are right around the corner...which city will we be seeing you in??? Leave your city as a comment, we'll be replying!
Atlanta!!! This'll be my wife and i 3rd concert seeing you guys
Cambridge, Oct 30th! I can’t wait!! 🤘🏻💖
@Grownup dream Sickkkk
Prague! Can't wait ❤❤
Ferndale Nov 3!!
I love that the plot twist at the end also aligns with the twist in the lyrics...that part "And if everybody's crazy, then who's supposed to fix it?" gets me every time! Awesome song!!! Can't wait to hear this live!
EDIT: The Don't Quit pillow is giving me life! That's some positive subconscious messaging! Works best if you keep replaying this video! Hehe! \m/
Criminally underrated. I found Icon For Hire these days by chance, my only regret is that I haven't found this song in 2019 when I needed it most.
I agree with you. I glad you found this amazing group, because it's masterpiece
I feel this so much,I had a mental break down in HS and everyone acted like I was truly crazy because I wasn't okay but then after HS I see the same people that picked on me for my mental health now making posts online about depression/anxiety/bipolar/etc and how it so hard for them,and it is a shitty time,but I just sit there stareing at their post like "So why was it bad and wrong when I snapped from having to keep it in but now you can post about it and just recive love and support about it why I still have to hide from my parents and the internet I'm still not okay even nearly 9 years later..."
Im so upset that I'll be in class when this premieres 😭😭😭
@Colton Thompson same
Worth the wait tho
Fuck class go out and listen this jam
Lol I was on my school bus
I love how she's rapping. It's not as straight forward as "Make a move" or "Off with her head" (my 2 fave songs) but the Video, singing, rapping, text and the twist are amazing
I love how she looks at the end.. like her hair is bright pink.. people are always told how 'unprofessional' that is.... but tell me that she looks unprofessional! She looks amazing and i live for it... she can pull off so many looks its amazing
Listening to this song the first time i thought Yes this is the song I will listen when i cry on my carpet Everytime.
Again, I gasped so loud I scared my cousin.
Hah! I remember reading your other comment!
@@Redstar2613 Me too :DD
1:47
That moment when someone ate Ariels Nutella.
Shawn:”So how much it will take this time,huh?! ”
The fact that they are married with each other makes this video so much more lovely
Its like yall are inside my head, transforming every thought into a song. Thank yall for being so relatable. Im obsessed with this
I know this is suppose to be series but o can't get over "Therapist Shawn" with his glasses and clipboard lmao
"I know I'm not my thoughts, but my thoughts don't know that yet".
That hit hard.
A daily fight
❤My healing song, one of my fav songs & most played song.🤘❤️
These lyrics hit deep. The part where she says I hope there's something wrong with me, this isnt normal. Definitely understand the feelings we go through. Hard to explain to those not going through it what it feels like.
I see Ariel and my headaches desapir! THIS WOMAN AND HER SONGS ARE MY MEDICION!♡
When I first saw her with her eyes closed, the eye makeup made me think she was wearing alien contacts. XD
Also, I didn’t notice until my second watch that she pulls her book off the shelf and attempts to rip the pages.
Yeah the glitter mascara makes it look like her eyes are reflecting the light like a cats
Yeah I noticed on my first playthrough that she picked up her book and then checked when and it's between 2:29 and 2:33 that she's holding it
I came back to this song when my days get rough. Today is one of those days.
The most horrifying thing I ever heard was "that's normal, everyone feels like that" like oh, everyone wants to die and fillet themselves? That's HORRIFYING [I'm passed a lot of that now]
I was once told that everyone hears voices like I do. I was like, bro, if you think that, I'm pretty sure I have a spare haldol.
The sound of this song is SO Icon For Hire. Loving that you’re keeping the style that everyone knows and loves 💓
@Craig Moore Except Scripted
@Craig Moore Yes... But Scripted had a much different sound.
@Craig Moore Very mature, calling the other party "slow" as though that's a valid insult. Some of the "slowest" people have also proven to be the smartest we've ever seen.
And even thematically Scripted had a different tone. Scripted is far more vague and ambiguous lyrically, leaving greater interpretation of lyrics. The later albums are more focused.
@Craig Moore Well then you've made a completely redundant statement, equivalent to "Icon for Hire is as much Icon for Hire as Icon for Hire is."
Both were created by Icon for Hire and obviously are as much Icon for Hire as the other.
This hit a spot in me. And now I can't stop listening. I really want to share it with my therapist.
Did you?
Yes, but I'm not sure she took a listen. So this next time I'll play it for her.
@@alexiafraunfelter4831 damn, sounds like somebody is a terrible therapist. If somebody is being paid to try and help someone through a rough spot in their life, you'd think they could listen when you say you are drawn to something. Find a new therapist.
This band is very relaxing too listen too truly legendary much love ❤ rock on 🤘 keep bringing out the masterpieces
Still coming back to this masterpiece. Icon For Hire really knows how to represent me without knowing me.
I love icon for hire. The songs help me put things into words, and that's amazingly helpful when talking to psychologists and whatnot... I've always struggled with that, and being on the autistic spectrum makes communication so so hard sometimes. I'm so thankful for these guys.
I love how unique she is and the kinds of things she sings about. I have always liked her music.
Shes one of my favorite modern female artist
When she started singing at 2:20, hit me extra hard. As soon as she got to "I pray to go it's not normal, crying on the floor, I don't wanna do this anymore", I actually broke out crying.
Where has this stupendous band been my entire life? Just started listening to Icon For Hire a month ago. Love you and your vocals Ariel Bloomer:)
They created their own style and identification. It's been a while since I last listened to IFH. Time to re-listen to them then
God I normally would hate music talking about this stuff, but to me, you really have never failed to depict the feelings I have. Man! I love this
i found this band a few weeks ago and dam they know feelings of people
I can’t even describe how amazing y’all’s music is. U inspired me.
this song is so relateable damn
WHY is no one talking about 2:30 were on Shawn's paper there is a reference to blindside?
I can't tell what the reference is. The paper is only on the shot for a second I keep rewinding it but I can't tell what I'm looking for
Anisha Ibbott oh lol my bad I thought u meant the movie the blindside 😂
thats what i thought!
u mean to warrior right?
@@phemetel u mean the "lost my voice and my composure" right?
Holy shit. Incredible song with strong lyrics.
This song absolutely encapsulates my own mental health battle
Me: I don't wanna break down.
My brain: But we're feelin low
That's how it is.
I always have the urge to cry when am in public places because of my GAD and Depression.
Since this dropped I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve listened to this song. Absolutely love it!! As someone living with anxiety it strikes a chord with me, thanks for an amazing song that helps in the rough times.
Thank you I literally beat myself up making mistakes as a cashier at a liquor store I down right needed to hear this tonight.
This was so powerful the first time I watched it -- at the bridge I couldn't help but fall into harmony, and I keep doing it every time I listen to this track. This is an amazing song. I love you guys and someone has to do this work, and doing it so honestly means a lot to those of us who also suffer from the lows. So thank you. Be well!
What a thoughtful comment.
I haven't listened to y'all in years. I clicked so fast when I saw this in my recommended
can we please talk about how sexy Shawn looks in this music video? holy- 🤩🥺🤧
Edit: OML Ariel looks so gorgeous in her therapist outfit wha- 😳🥰💕
They're both beautiful humans tbh
As a counselor, this video is so validating to me 💕
Nobody else has ever seen a therapist's office look like that either, right?
That's close to mine
@@FrostEncounter You come from rich as FUCK people! lol. That is the office you see in telenovelas or soap operas
Mine comes to my school so they use the conference room so I've never seen an actual one.
I absolutely love this song. Incredible writing.
Going to be sharing this with my therapist... It's so relatable it hurts. listened to it 6 times today
Added to my If 2020 Were a Song playlist
This song speaks to me so deeply
Hello) Could you please check out my cover of this song? It'd be a big help❤ ua-cam.com/video/OqtpQBdIw5c/v-deo.html
Holy blue streak, this video really made this song come alive for me. I didn't recognize that Shawn was the "therapist" until he took off his glasses, which made me smirk at the inventiveness you guys have got going here. Sharp.
I will always prefer their original hard/punky sound, but I'll be damned if Ariel's lyrics haven't gotten better and better with time. She really cuts right to the heart of what it's like to be alive right now.
the line about meditation and not wanting to be alone with thoughts had me absolutely sobbing, everyone suggests meditation but i cant even handle my thoughts on a good day let alone when i cant even look in a mirror without wanting to end it all, and when i try and explain it everyone just goes "oh youre supposed to clear your mind!!" like thanks but i c a n t
I used to listen to this band all the time in middle school but I stopped, now I'm a senior and this song brought me back. However I miss their heavier stuff.
This song hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves! A very good chance this is my favorite song!
Icon for hire is easily my favorite band their songs are catchy and bring up important topics I really hope they will be close to New Hampshire soon I’d love to see them live
i just recently discovered icon for hire through under the knife and i’m in love.
Fire! Pure fire!!!
It premieres on my birthday :O
Happy Birthday then!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Also my friend's birthday too yo!
Happy Birthday
Happy bday!
That twist at the end is amazing. So freaking relatable.
Great song! I also just realized that Ariel's book has a cameo at 2:31.
Love this and all the band songs
If this is the direction Icon For Hire is taking for their next album, I am excited to see what the new album will bring us. I never feel disappointed with where IFH takes their music.
This in all honesty is a great representation of what mental illness causes in people, they doubt themselves and have breakdowns knowing how badly their minds and psyches are.
Some who face it don’t do anything about it because they know they can’t help it and try to live with it the best way they can, though some people fall in doing so.
Others go to a therapist and try to explain their troubled minds the best way they possibly can while the therapists take notes, checking the time to see when the session is over because that’s when they finally are able to do what they wanna do. The people who have mental illness go to a therapist for advice and help, but therapists don’t care because at the end of the day they get paid in full and every one of their patients are just statistics and nothing more than that.
It's all about selling pills and getting paid for them.
Solid work. I like this band.
I played a show with this band like 13 years ago lol
Yes! It's finally here. I cannot wait.
Took me a second to realise Shawn was the therapist u_u
*But this song is hella rad i love it so much, i love you guys so much; stay true*
I listen to this song almost every day. Icon for hire will never truly grasp how much their music means to me and so many others. So much pain in her voice ❤️
Excellent songwriting
On my birthday 😍
Well Happy birthday then!
This is probably my favorite music video you've put out. Simple but extremely well done with a great message that challenges the new social norm.
First time I heard this song I cried then had a panic attack. Today I'm listening after stopping myself from crying and opening up. I'm slowly getting myself together to being stable now. It's hard.
You're too good girl
Just love your work
