@CitizenSoldier thank you. I just woke up and the first thing I do when having my coffee in the morning is go to either UA-cam or Spotify to see my notifications. Yet another song to add to my therapy playlist #musictherapy ❤️🎤❤️🎼❤️🎶❤️🎧❤️🇺🇸❤️🇦🇺❤️
This song safe,good enough for god
can you make a song about parents forcing child to live a life they want them to?
“Can’t even think of one way i should love myself” That line hit hard 😭
Yeah me too. I felt that one very deep
Me too
This line speaks to me as to how I feel constantly 🥺😫😩😭
I feel you...
Damnn that’s me 24/7
In my opinion, “Am I a failure or did you set me up to fail” is the most powerful line. 🔥Love ya Citizen Soldier❤
Agreed!!! That line hit me soooo hard!!!!
@shadowdemonmusic Look, in the end, we're all responsible for our own actions. I know it's easy to blame God for our failure, but I'm pretty sure God didn't set us up to fail - I mean, He tells us what we have to do throughout the Bible, and there's nothing stopping anyone from trying their hardest to follow that.
It hits so hard and so true
@@scarleywestyou do know a random person wrote the bible?
@@rakurai7367 No, that's not true. king James TRANSLATED the Bible to English. God spoke through the people who wrote the Bible. It has many authors, but God is the Author overall.
"Am I a failure or did you just set me up to fail" That line hits hard
God does infact set us up to. Story of Job for an example. It's all test.
yeah, that hits personally for me...
@@mighty679 That is 100% a misinterpretation of Job. The whole point of Job was to disprove the popular belief back then (and maybe some now) that if bad things happened to you, it was a punishment from God for sin that person had committed. The book of James explains to us that it is good to suffer for the Lord, as it will strengthen us in Him. Sometimes suffering is required to level up in life; to learn what couldn't be learned without it. Job lost everything at no fault of himself, but he stayed faithful to God and in return God blessed him with everything he had lost and more. God didn't set Job up to fail. He removed the things that were holding Job back from his intended potential.
"I wouldn't blame you for pretending not to hear me pray" this line hits hard
Never heard a song that actually made me want to cry but this one really hit me in the feels, citizen soldier always hits the nail on the head
I had this feeling for about two years and gladly realised that I don't have to be good enough for anyone but myself. Since then I found so much peace, even with my faith. I believe that God loves us no matter what. You are already enough. And nothing will change that
Kinda same for me, but my realisation was that God is fiction, created for the mass to keep them in control and make them good, so since then I realised i can be good enough for me and thats all I have to do, and somehow, since then, I ve never been happier. Kind of funny, since i stopped believeing in GOD, I actually started feeling happy. (food for thought)
@@ylr8128 Kinda feel the same. I don't know if I truly "believe", the only thing is that I think that there's something bigger than human beings, that's beyond our understanding. I started being happier as well when I stopped going to church or discuss with people who believe. It just ended in nothing and just costed my energy so yeah. Maybe it's the people, not the faith itself haha
@@ylr8128it won't last. I've heard your words from so many people and eventually they fall into a dark abyss and are too ashamed to turn back.
You've been warned.
@@ylr8128Also I just spoke to a former Satanist yesterday who still had his sigils tatted on his arms and chest talking about how a Christ is the only solution and that he regretted turning away for so long.
You're acting like being a coward and running makes you strong. It doesn't. One day you'll remember this tiny comment. Turn back to God when you do.
He tells us to come as we are, not as we ought to be
This is the song struggling Christians like me needed to hear, thank you.
It's hard not to beat ourselves up for sin. But God doesn't want us to feel guilt or shame - he nailed all that to the cross alongside Jesus. We are free. He will hold us just as tightly and love us just as much when we sin as any other time.
@@tiffanysmith490 amen! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
@tiffanysmith8659 No matter how ture that is, making myself believe it is the hard part.
@@tiffanysmith490Amen
@@damoclesecoe7184I feel that
As a Christian, this song really breaks my heart. Not because "how dare it exist" but because in a faith that's meant to be all about love and helping each other... It hurts knowing so many got it so wrong and caused trauma rather than helped with it :/
Not the song for me, obviously, but just all the love and broken heart to those who had to experience Christians who didn't understand what it meant to love like Christ, and I hope this song can bring you some comfort ❤️
Similar thing here, I just hope others can heal
The real gospel is that he doesn't care if we're not perfect. He cares that we believe, and he handles e erything else. It's really heartbreaking what some people have been through.
I agree 💯%, we are enough as long as we live through him even in hard times, especially then.
Bad things happen for a reason and to help us grow in faith we just need to make the choice to let it all go for God to handle even ivita hard and scary
I know the gospel...I know it's not about me.
...but it doesn't change how the thoughts are, what life is like, the battles against sin and just sick of failing.
I know that sanctification isn't about me...but this pain is just too much sometimes....right now it's too much... I don't want to read, I don't care enough to do anything. Work starts in a few hours and I have more compulsion to do that for the sake of not getting fired then give a darn about my heart/healing/soul...
I just want to cry, or die....
Christianity, just like every other religion ever, was not made for "spreading love" it was made to alienate and condemn those that people deem "unfit" religion divides and destroys anything it touches.
What I have learned in life is that if god is all powerful then he isn't good, and if he is good then he isn't all powerful.
When I first heard this I was blown away! Thank you for this song! It’s incredible ❤️🩹🙏🏻
Appreciate that 🫶
It's really hard feeling this way when you work in a church. You can't express it and are terrified that everyone knows.
"Am I a failure or did you just set me up to fail?" HIT ME RIGHT IN THE GUT!!! YES!!! That line right there...I got goosebumps. 💛
Took me a long time to realise that love isnt something you earn, its a gift to give and recieve. And God helped me learn that. You are loved and youre already enough.
But if he loves everyone, then why does the bible say gay people create "monstrosities" and "abominations"... i'm going to hell for not believing in something i have no reason to believe exists? Doesn't sound very nice.
@Drag0nmaster Because it is a sin. We ALL sin but if you pray to overcome these sins God will lead you down the right path. I have nothing against someone gay and i would never judge them, but it is our job to spread God's will and speak his word and the truth. You can't live in your sin & be proud of it and expect to go to heaven because you think you were a "good" person. God's grace and our faith is what will get us into heaven, not the good deeds we do. ❤ Your comment shows you don't know much about the Bible or God's word. I pray you just take your time to do your own reading and understanding and I promise you will see the unconditional love God has for us❤
You are perfect in his eyes, never forget that brother/sister❤
@@Drag0nmaster He does love everyone, no matter the bad things we do. He loves us equally. He does not love the sin, though. And he does not love the sin not because something happens to him when we sin, but because what happens to us, the sinners. Whenever we do something bad to others or to ourselves we are actually hurting us and putting ourselves in a path that it's going to cause us suffer. God don't want that for us, he wants us to be happy and want us to leave in peace. He knows what is more convenient for us so we can live free (that's kind of the role faith plays: maybe we don't understand why something is bad for us, but we trust God, so we avoid doing it). So, practicing homosexuality is wrong, but being homosexual is not. God love gay people, but he does not love them hurting themselves by practicing homosexuality. Plus, calling them "Abominations" is something from the Ancient Testament, when people did not understand God truly. But in the New Testament, when Jesus came to earth as a man, he showed humanity what God was really about, and that is LOVE. He love gay people, and we all should love gay people. Why would I won't love you just because you have different preferences? And it breaks my heart whenever someone calleing themselves "christians" fail in following Jesus example in this matter. And just to finish my comment here, I don't think you're going to hell for not believing, I think anyone of us will go to hell for the bad we have done if we do not regret it and change our ways to do the good instead; and in my experience is easier to live doing good to myself and others when I believe, because believing gives my life sens, direction and purpose. All these religious matters are bigger and more complex than what I can express in a youtube comment, but the good news is that WE ALL ARE LOVED BY GOD AND WE WILL BE HAPPIER IF WE LEARN TO LIVE LOVING OURSELVES AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND US. You are loved @Drag0nmaster, no matter if you believe in him or not ❤
That song...is more important than it seems like. A lot of people are struggling if they are good enough, like being selfharm or hurting theirselves. Some people say that's a sin, cause we're gods creation so we shouldn't do this, but they don't know what is inside our minds! Thank you so much for figuring this out with this banger track. Btw. LOVE the heavy screamy bridge!🔥🙏
Damn I've been waiting for this since I saw the short, you guys never miss and you always speak the truth!! Thank you for being real with your music and giving people, including myself, a safe space to feel better
Much love 🫶
For those who suffered religious trauma, this is our song. Citizen Soldier does not miss.
We're not alone 🫶
You didn’t experience trauma by going to church. Bozo.
Best be believing it lol
Stopped believing in it years ago, if they're cool with a 6yo feeling enough guilt to start self harming it's a god I'm happy to reject in turn lmao
@@sylvie8039 Facts. I never really bought into it. They never really had a grasp on me, but here I am, connecting to this song on an extreme level with thousands of other people.
@@sylvie8039I'm so incredibly sorry that that was your experience... No one, especially children, should be put through that kind of guilt and trauma in the name of God. God is not some judgemental, angry, "you must be exactly this way to get to heaven and earn my love" type of God. He loves every single person on this planet unconditionally. Don't let the trauma and twisted opinions of other people keep you from God. Find and learn about Him yourself ^^ Not all churches and religious denominations are as toxic as some seem to be. It's just so sad that there are so many judgemental and traumatic churches...
I remember my grandma always saying "God doesnt give you anything you cant handle" when I was a child.
As an adult I can say she was half wrong but mostly misunderstanding. God treats our trials like weight training. He increases the weight through our lives to make us stronger. He just has to start some of us early since he knows we need to be strong enough to fireman carry someone else through their pains.
"Cant imagine any paradise worth this pain" this hit me in my core.. Thank you all for once again putting words to a feeling i cant seem to describe on my own. Your music continues to be a light for me.
I know! That line was the one that got to me
36 year old me wishes 17 year old me could have heard this back then. Brought back some emotions that I wish someone else had understood then. Thank you for sharing parts of yourself with us. 🖤
We know the feeling 🫶 Sending hugs 🫂
Bless you my dear brothers, you’ve helped so many misguided souls. You guys never stop being the voices people need to hear. God bless those who believe you need to earn his love, he made each and every one of you, and you are perfect in his eyes.
God bless you Citizen Soldier❤
As a gay pastor's kid this song hits me sooooo hard. I spent over a decade fighting the repression, denial, and fear. I spent so long doing everything I could to "fix" myself, but ultimately I wasn't broken and it has been really hard accepting who I am and coming to terms with that.
God doesn't make broken people. We all have our own struggles and some of them are overwhelming. Each of us faces temptation of a different kind, but that doesn't mean anyone has the right to shame someone else for being tempted by something different. Regardless - I have mountains of respect for gay Christians. You have sacrificed more for Christ than I ever have, possibly more than I ever will. Mad respect. I hope you find peace in the Lord ❤❤
I've been really sad here lately since my dog passed so I gotta say love you guys for the works of art you create.
Sorry for your loss 🫶 Sending hugs 🫂
Literally same situation😢this song hits hard
@@fghfsdhidsefuygvf5991 I'm sorry for your loss
@@whyamihere777 I'm sorry for yours😔
My cat passed away recently also I hope your ok Amen😊 stay safe
For those who need to hear this. You will be okay, and your life, no matter how hopeless you feel , you are good enough, and your life worth fighting for. I'm proud of you for getting this far, I believe in you. There may be a long road ahead of you but you will make it, I know you will. Keep going champ 🏆😁❤️
As a Christian and one who suffers from anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Like so many I to have asked “ Why do I have to suffer?” But I never blame or hated God, because even though I’m suffering he has bigger purpose for me. His Grace is sufficient for me. There’s not a day that I don’t battle alone against these demons because he’s been beside me all along. It’s human beings that left, judged, and treated me wrong. Not God. There’s too many superstitions in the religion world that they are misunderstanding those who suffers from these demons. But God never abandon, even though it’s easy to see it that way because that’s what the demons wants us to see. I praise God even though I’m battle worn. I’m fighting for my life along with my Heavenly Father.
Its ok to be angry at God. It wouldnt be healthy to deny or ignore your anger. You can't let a relationship be built without expressing to each other how you feel. Thats why you should tell God how you feel and stop with convincing yourself is Gods "will", because it isnt. Stop coping and lying to yourself and be honest. He loves you and cares for you, so want you to be honest. Cast all your fears and anger on Him. He is God, so He can take it. I when I was 12 did the same and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Am not going to see every hardship and bad feeling as something "good" or as an unicorn. You shouldnt be telling this others too. It will make them withdraw from God because of their emotions. God doesnt want that!!!!
Please be your real self and not fake. God is looking for a true Christian not someone who only sees sunshine and not the truth.
God said it Himself: these world is full of evil and innocent people lead because of it. God DOESNT want that so He send Christ. If He find it okay, He wouldnt gave a solution, a way out of darkness. But He did, He gave liberty (delivery) and still does. The answer is the cross. Of you dont want a TRUE relationship with God, ask yourself what is stopping you. Are you angry, hurt or sad? Maby all of them. I know am still angry, but am not going to ignore it, but confront God with it. Ask Him to help you and find a way out.❤ He loves you!!!!
Just like I do❤😊
God loves you▶️ ✝️
@@deniseosadolor beautifully said
Breaks my heart that "church" makes people feel this way, because it is literally the opposite. God wants you to come to him exactly how we are........broken. if we weren't, there would have been no need for him to send his son to die for people who curse him, spit in his face and hate him. He wants you just to let him love you. Trying to be perfect for God is like cleaning up to take a bath.
But... if he did exist, he hates lgbtq people, which means he also hates me. Also, i guess i am going to hell nust for not believing in a god?
@@Drag0nmaster no, he doesn't hate you. He loves you just as much as anyone. When christ was on Earth he ate with and hung out with prostitutes and "tax collectors" basically the lowest of the low, not that that's what you are, but the point is.he loves you just how you are. I understand your reply very well. I respect your pov, but I would love to help you understand that he is literally waiting for you with arms wide open waiting to embrace you exactly as you are. Yes, the Bible calls lgbtq lifestyles as sin, but we all have sin. I don't agree with any kinda of aversion therapy or anything else. It's been my personal experience with some very dark places that if you sincerely believe that Jesus is the son of God and that he died and ressurected......that's it. You don't have to say some long pious prayer or fall down bawling.....that the Holy Spirit will slowly change you on the inside, and sometimes instantly, but usually as you seek him in the Bible or church or internet you will grow spiritually. But whatever and however you feel or believe, I hope for you a happy joy filled life. Our beliefs don't mean we have to be adversaries or hate each other. All my best to you for a blessed life my friend.
YES! This is the song I've been waiting for. Obviously this song isn't just for people like me, but as a christian who is still weak to the lust of the flesh and more (even though it's been a year and a half since the day I was baptized), this whole song (except for the bridge, I'd say) is a mood. I don't think I've ever been angry at God, but I do often get angry at myself even though he's always been good to me. This has become the most relatable song you've ever released as well as my all-time favourite. Well done, everyone.
Same boat here. It's good to be reminded that it's not about being "good enough". Peace to you in your journey with God ❤
I can tell you that it is extremely hard at times but the BEST thing I can recommend is to find a couple really good close friends and let them in. Ask for help when you need advice on scripture or just life in general. I’ve been in church my whole life but I’m only just now (almost 20) learning to act like someone who’s changed. I’m really happy for you getting baptized. Also, check out the song ‘You Love Me Anyway’ by Sidewalk Prophet. The bridge especially is amazing and it helped me with thoughts similar to this song.
Thank you, guys.
I'll be praying for you my friend. I wish to meet you in Heaven some day.
@@Theproblemchildofyoutube Back at you.
The only reason I woke up this morning thank you guys for making such amazing music
Appreciate you 🫶
As a Christian who struggles with religious obsessions and compulsions, this song hits the nail on the head. For the record, I don't blame God for my suffering. I blame the fall, and those who misuse scripture to suite their own purposes.
Regardless of what people say, Jesus loves you, died for you, and rose for you. Nothing anybody says can change that, no matter what. Nor can any (in my case) intrusive thoughts make you be forsaken. No mental illness can remove you from the palm of His hand.
In fact, the very reason Christ came was precisely BECAUSE we can't be good enough. Not then, not now. He lived the perfect blameless life so we can be saved despite our flaws.
Romans 8:18 "What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal”
Stay strong my friends and keep your faith in God the father almighty 🙏
Now I just have to make myself believe that.
Amen. I like this bands music but I'm not too fond of this song.
"I can't imagine any paradise is worth this pain " that part is so true. I have so much church trauma this song really hits hard. It's beautiful thank you ❤🤘🏾
This song is how I would describe my relationship with God and religion after going through religious trauma. It’s a rough journey but it’s worth the healing. Thank you Citizen Soldier for the song
deconstruction man, that's a mind trip and a half. but like you said, the healing is worth it
I'm a seriously backsliding christian so I can kind of relate to this
Sadly so many people get "being a Christian" wrong. No one is ever "good enough, or worthy enough" for God. It has nothing to do with that because as humans/flesh no one ever measures up. God doesn't expect perfection because he knows "we all sin and come short of the glory of God".
All he truly wants is our heart. He wants us to live by his word, NOT man's word. Every church has their own "doctrine" meaning they pick certain things out of the bible for their own religion. God didn't create religion, man did.
All God ever ask of us is to keep his commandments. Trust, and love him. People make is much more complicated than what God asks of us.
Christianity is a cult
I grew up in a religious family, and the pressure and judgment from everyone in that community is so bad it caused trauma that is really hard to live with.
This song was awesome and I'm loving it. I'll definitely be listening on repeat for a while ❤
We know the feeling 🫶 Thanks for sharing
If you’re judged by Christians, you are literally the problem because you are willfully doing things that go against God. You didn’t experience trauma, you’re just insecure and weak.
When my OCD first reared it's ugly head, my obsession became Christianity. I became obsessed with reading the Bible, watching religious programming, praying, etc and my anxiety spurring on the compulsion was that I was going to go to hell; that I was a horrible person; that I didn't deserve God's love. My desperation to follow what my panic-addled brain took as "God's word" even carried over into my schoolwork. During the worst of it, I wrote "God willing" under the answers to the quiz questions questions in all my classes and in my projects because my brain had somehow interpreted "nothing happens without God's will" to thinking I needed to do that in order to keep God's love. I remember once I had to leave the classroom during a movie because the "sins" the movie was showing was triggering me severely.
Finally after 3 or 4 months, I got medicated, and things in regards to my OCD have been uphill from there, for sure. I'm an atheist now, and I definitely no longer fear hell. Looking back I just wish I could grab kid me and hug them and tell them everything was going to get better, that they didn't have to fight so hard like this. And that I could yell at my parents back then for not getting me help right away. I look back on kid me as what I was, a scared child who deserved better.
Anyway, when I saw this video for the first time today, I'm not sure I've ever felt more seen in my life. It's as though this song was written exclusively for me!
But it wasn't! And that means that there are actually other people out there who understand what I've gone through. Every lyric of this song makes me feel understood on the deepest level possible.
You have no idea how meaningful this is to me. All of your songs are super meaningful to me, but this one... I can't even express how much this one means to me. It shows me that I'm... I'm not as alone as I thought I was.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you do
My grandfather is a preacher, and our family trauma hidden behind the lectures has pushed me to the edge so many times. This song hit so hard for so many reasons...but it is super healing, never stop creating these amazing songs. I guarantee you they are life changing! Love you guys and all that you do! 🩷🌷
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Revelations 21:4
I’m good enough for God ♥️ & so are yiu
This is one of your greatest songs. And well It is so much how I feel... "I had my darkest thoughts trying to get to Heaven" irony. And everything, everything else!! You made pure masterpiece!!! Even I think you don't need opinon of someone like me.)
The Line, "I could go to hell", hit me hard man
Damn this hits hard Citizen Soldier has been so helpful recently with me having low mental health, I started listening to them last year and they have helped me release anger just listening to these songs
I've struggled with religious-based obsessive compulsive disorder as long as I can remember. I was diagnosed at 17, thank God, but knowing what it is doesn't make it stop. I've never heard anyone describe my experience so exactly before.
Amazing as always guys😭❤️ love your music so much!
Much love 🫶
"I can't imagine a paradise that is worth all this pain." Hits home. Somehow, Citizen Soldier just gets it. they know to how put exactly what i'm feeling into words and music. thank you guys
This hits different now that i feel more depressed after the trauma i've experienced of losing a loved one.
There are no sins (or addictions) that would take God’s love away. One day at a time. Acknowledgment and progression key. Faith required. Song point on to a societal misconception. I am not worthy yet God is there embracing me and inspiring to be the best version of myself. Be strong. Do not listen to others. You will make it. Much love to all.👍🏼
“I’ve never felt more lost trying to be good enough for God.” I experienced that years and years ago before I just kinda came to a decision on religion about worshipping in my own way. I tried to worship the way I was taught and I felt more alone. I was to suffer my anxieties and depression while smiling behind a mask. Because the only answer to any pain I felt was “give it to God.” That wasn’t an answer that felt right. My pain wasn’t a “thing” I could just pass to someone else. It was a part of who I was. And that answer made me feel like *I* was wrong for having the thoughts and feelings that had been built from my experiences in life. Or my other favorite “God gives us only what we can handle.” That led me to believe some pretty twisted things about God as I watched others’ lives from the sideline. Anyway, that one line makes me just feel better about my past and how I’ve come to terms with my religious views. Thanks for the art and keep it up. Can’t wait til y’all are in NC!!
Praying for you :) I hope you've found a way to worship that brings you closer to him instead of further away ❤
Ive been waiting for months for this song to drop, after hearing the chorus on Facebook. I never felt darker or more broken that when i was trying to be the Christian everyone wanted me to be, that i was never good enough or worthy of God's love if i didnt agree with the teachings of this fairh. It wasnt until i let go of the church and titles and just focused of God and what i felt was best for my spirit. Religion made me feel angry and broken. Spirit made me feel peace.
You are good enough for “GOD” for GOD so loved the world that he sent he’s only begotten Son to die for you and me 🙏💙💯 Great song Citizen Soldier
If we were good enough for God he wouldn't have made us born "sinful and broken needing him" sounds like narcissistic abuse rather than love

i like how this song questions god but doesn't diss him like a lot of metal songs do. Awesome job guys! This one hit hard.
This is one of the few songs that adequately describe my religious trauma. I've been waiting a while for this one and it was well worth the wait. My favourite line is "am I a failure or did you just set me up to fail". Very powerful.
Going to church isn’t trauma. Bozo.
Another lyric video, another visual and sound masterpiexe
Saving this to my music playlist for Christians. It's relatable, not something to be ignored or disregarded as blasphemy.
I wasn't even sent a notification, HOW DARE YOU, UA-cam!
P.S: Y'all have been doing such a great job with songs lately, It's so great to see how the band evolves over the years. Much love!
Ive heard the preview and been waiting. Hit enough of a nerve it caused my service dog to alert me.
I'm so happy that I was able to listen to this today, I'm upset that I'm sick though and probably won't remember listening to this amazing song.
Citizen Soldier incorporating metalcore-style breakdowns in their music, and I'm all for it.
I am constantly told that going to back to church where I feel like an outsider and praying will help with my anxiety and depression. The one who tells me apparently can't understand that when you have always been abandoned, replaced, and ignored, it makes you feel like not even a supposedly all powerful god will care. Especially when you pray and nothing changes so it's always in his time. At least I'm learning that I only have to be good enough for me, not matter how much I may fail.
Im a Christian and i approve this song, much love citizen soldier
Its not religious trauma, but i could never please my mother - this song rings
The amount of people who dont understand that point of the song and are getting mad at citizen soldier, is just sad
"Some days I let myself get angry cause I tried my best; then overthink it, hit the gaslight, and start to second guess."
Wow. The amount of times in my life where I've "repented" to or "re"accecpted Him into myself, because I wonder if it "still counts" because I haven't been this "perfect" Christian... I've stopped going to the church (for reasons), but I live my life day to day trying to be a good person without dragging along the hate; a way that I would hope God would approve of. But I still always wonder if it's good enough cause I'm not running around evangelizing to everyone I know... Love this song because it perfectly encapsulates those feelings.
As someone with a lifetime of religious trauma, this hits hard, I've been waiting for this one for ages
Going to church isn’t trauma. You’re just weak minded.
Being abused is trauma, being tortured by fire and knives is trauma, being told you deserve to die and were born of a demon while some guy chants over you and burns you and cuts you is trauma
@@themisfitbrigade
Please dont think everyone is like themisfitbrigade, OP, please - as another Christian and, yes, as one without religious trauma, let me say I feel deeply sorry that you've had to deal with religious trauma. Trauma of any sort isn't to be taken lightly, and religious trauma is especially heartbreaking. Especially when people don't take it seriously. Please know that you are loved - truly loved. Accepted.
For we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. You don't deserve God's grace and mercy but you'll recieve it none the less... that's what make him God
I knew that I'd have this on repeat. Absolutely love it
This song is so much deeper than some thing.
It was never really God that was the one doing harm. It was all the other Christians who carnally point out all the imperfections of others thinking they are perfect now that they are saved.
It creates this pressure to live up to these other Christians expectations instead of remembering God's opinion is what matters.
As a former Christian who was pushed away because of the very thoughts written in this song, I'm happy that there is a song that put my thoughts into words.
Left religion several years ago, thank you for this song 🙏🏻🎶
Much love ❤️
I'm struggling at this moment but I'm still here .
I've been waiting for this song for so long and it sound so good!
Much love 🫶
I may not be religious, but I loved this song either way. This band has helped me so much over the years and now I've finally opened up and I'm getting the help I need. I don't think I've would've been able to make it this far without Citizen Soldier and that's something I will always be grateful for.
love you guys x

😢 That's the whole point, folks. Humanity set itself up to fail. God gave every good gift you see before you, and we mucked it up. He doesn't hate you; He hates what separates you from Him. The Old Testament laws were given to show you that you *can't* hold up to His standards, and that's why He sent someone to hold up to them *for* us. Your task isn't to earn forgiveness, but to stop trying to pay the penalties yourself and accept the gift of them being paid for you.
💯
Let it Burn was the first song I heard from the band, it's amazing to see that they don't make bad music. 🇧🇷
You guys make an incredible song right here ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

That bridge is like a metalcore breakdown but it’s an emotional breakdown.
Always a good day when you guys upload. Another awesome song!
I wish my mum could've been around for this one. I know this would've been one she identified with as someone who grew up around that kind of belief system. Listening to it now, I feel just a little closer to her.
Thankyou. Just thankyou.
i love it as a born again christian i wanna point a few things 1. noones ever good enough and works wont help we are saved by believing jesus died and rose for us and by having faith then from that second we are saved by his grace.2 don't fall for the catholic ways trust me they aint showing the true gospel. 3.god never sets us up to fail he loves us all. and 4. i love the tracks you bring man its amazing to hear this stuff
Catholics aren’t showing the true gospel? First of all, we complied the gospels and we read them every day. What exactly do you mean?
@@Lucy-nw4im home you guys worship Mary more than Jesus I have proof Catholics post pictures and the supposed vicar of christ allows lgbtq and Muslim to be blessed with him simply put Catholics are insane and need help simple as that
Ever since I read the title of this song, I knew it would be hard not to cry at the lyrics. Thanks Citizen Soldier for making me cry like a bitch.
"Am I a failure or did you just set me up to fail?" That line hits me soooooo hard
Essa música é muito boa, em minha interpretação (talvez errada), foi a música que passou perfeitamente o que o excesso de tentar ser perfeito causa. Como cristão eu tenho de buscar ser alguém bom e conforme a vontade de Deus. O problema é que muitos não entendem que o ser humano é imperfeito e fica se martirizando tentando ir em busca da perfeição, e infelizmente é assim que muitos se perdem na fé, por exemplo.
A música está incrível 🔥
I remember coming to this crossroad right before I decided to switch my belief system to spirituality. It’s a rough road but in the end we always find our way to the answers and guidance we need.
AMAZING SONG (AGAIN)!!! it's so difficult for me to choose a favorite song from you guys because every single song you've put out has been outstanding. I was curious and wanted to ask, do you guys think you'd ever do a collab song with Kingdom Collapse? They're my other favorite not-so-big band and if you two could collab it would be amazing 😁😆. Amazing music and I can't wait to hear a response or just the next song you guys come up with!
"All my deepest scars are mental" that one is deep for me
@@AkinToDamnation yeah that one is really good
My 15yo self needed this. Had a lot of anger back then and almost hurt some other kids. I realize now that the beliefs I had been raised around weren't healthy and the only one I have to answer to is myself. Thank you
Another hit and an amazing song. Every song you guys released hits home. Thank you all you have helped me more than you’ll ever know 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Glad the music helps 🫶
its been a while since a song gave me chills like this. this song kind of includes almost all stages of grief from the viewpoint of somebody dealing w this type if situations. good work lads.
Amazing thanks

Yeah, I knew this one would hit me hard. Growing up in a religious family can indeed mess someone up. I realized that this message of "love" was really not love most of the time, and include manipulation, coercion, guilt and shaming so that I could "go to heaven". All my problems weren't because of religious trauma but that just solidified all else when you are being told constantly that you are a sinner and someone so bad simply for just being born. It sucks. I'm trying to heal from that, and from all the other stuff, but it's so hard once the trauma is deep inside. You end up feeling like a broken thing that will never be fixed. Thank you for making this song, you guys never miss! 🖤
You're not broken and never will be ❤❤ God loves you just the way you are! I hope you find peace and healing :)
Oh my God!!! This was amazing!!! Literally every word said is 100% my life. Ever since turning 18 I've felt as if God just wanted me to fail since birth. I know it ain't true, but every day it feels easier to be blinded by Satan. These words scream every raw emotion I know; like no matter how hard I try to get to heaven, I'm damned for hell. Thank you for another masterpiece and keep doing what you guys do best! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know that either god.and satan does not exiat right?
I felt these way for a long time I ended up not caring I just trying my best to fight the darkness in my head and continue to not give up thank you for everything.
As soon as this is uploaded to SoundCloud, this is gonna be on repeat. I've always struggled with speaking my feelings, so I use songs since they do it better.
This has described everything I've been through with an overly strict and religious father. It got to the point where I've constantly felt forsaken by God, to the point where I was planning on leaving my religion and going solo. I've since changed my mind, but it's still hard trying to heal from all this silent suffering.
Thank you Citizen Soldier, for screaming my pain for me in words that I can scream back with all my heart.
I love musicians whose music aims for the mentally ill among us, and you guys have hit that.
Thank you, for screaming the pain for so many of us who are still suffering in silence. Thank you.
"Can’t even think of one way i should love myself" Thats' what believing in a nonexistent being gets you
Wow...this is me for the past eleven years. It's so painful, but such a wonderful song. Feels good to have something say how I really really feel.
Taken aback by evey song you make CS! I listen to this daily!!! May God guide you to glory, keep sharing your music, you have moved me as im sure you have others! One of the best bands ive stumbled upon! Love yall!!! ❤️
I love this song so much, it's perfect! I was waiting a lot for her. 😍❤️
Thanks for waiting patiently 🫶
I gave up long ago being good enough for anyone, good enough to see tomorrow is enough.
Уже как 2 года слушаю эту группу нон-стоп. Ребята делают действительно качественную музыку!!!! Развития этому коллективу и процветания .... многие песни полны мотивации! Продолжайте в том же духе)))))
Jesus loves you no matter what you do or what you've done, everyone who has suffered religious trauma I'm so sorry, but you're always good enough to come to him. I struggled with terrible depression for 7 years until I realized this and in that exact moment he healed me. The love is unconditional. We're all sinners alike but that's okay. God bless❤
You are good enough for God. You may not love yourself, but he does.
You are never alone.
U are never fully dress without a smile. U are loved ❤.
I can't believe how much I can relate ❤❤❤❤❤
It is sickening how many people blatantly ignore that not only does religious trauma exist, but it's intentionally orchestrated in just about every community and environment in the world. The Amish being among the worst of them all.
I have listened to you guys since my parents got into a fight and split apart 7 years ago love you guys ❤❤
