I needed to revisit this after Deryck dropped his memoir. Now I have a better understanding on what inspired this song. My thoughts go out to Deryck. He deserves justice.😢
ahh got many memories with this song, i wish i can go back to 2000's. To 96's kid, i wish everyone is doing well and keep doing the right things. We're getting older mate :(
I will forever feel this song in my soul. Through my teen years I listened to it non stop, once listened to it on repeat for over a month and my sisters still talk about it. I still listen to it in my 30's ❤
I’m still listening too. This was such a great song. The nostalgia is hitting me. Why did it go by all to fast? Why didn’t anyone tell us that time would fly by 😢
Sometimes I come back to read the comments, it always keeps me going. The times I tried to leave this planet and failed are just proof that you're supposed to be here. As hard as it gets, never stop reaching for your end goal
man, even back in early 2000 people seeked to live the perfect image of life. cant imagine the immense pressure of social media for people stuck in the bubble nowadays.
This song was on repeat through my worst period of my life. After five years of hell in school almost ready to kill myself and just starting my second year of college. I’m 25 now married, house and planning for a family. A healthy routine keeps the darkness at bay but I come back to songs like this to remember how far I’ve come. Keep moving forward it can get better
It's been 20 years of caring the weight of depression.......it never got better just MORE drugs and booze to feel normal......When does it stop.? I don't know how many more mins if have
I tried to be perfect But nothing was worth it I don’t believe it makes me real I thought it’d be easy But no one believes me I meant all the things I said If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I don’t know how it got so bad Sometimes it’s so crazy That nothing can save me But it’s the only thing that I have If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own On my own I tried to be perfect It just wasn’t worth it Nothing could ever be so wrong It’s hard to believe me It never gets easy I guess I knew that all along If you believe it’s in my soul I’d say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I’m trying to let you know That I’m better off on my own
The hardest thing Ive had to realize is that being depressed and in pain is a lot more fun when your a teenager. When you grow up you still feel the pain, the difference is that no one cares anymore
Toquei muito essa música no meu violão tempo de escola foi uma das minhas primeiras músicas tiradas ouvindo ela essa banda sempre estará em parte de minha vida
Sum 41 used to be a NOFX Cover Band in the mid 90's, they were on their way to play a huge show and decided they needed to change their name to something better, it was the 41st day of their summer break and they decided to call themselves "Sum 41"
Just heard this song for the first time, and been listening to it on repeat. This song and video could simply not be truer, and not more relatable in today's day and age
Man I was still in elementary school during the 2000's (born in 98) and I still remember people jamming to bands like Sum 41, Green Day, Linkin Park, and many other huge bands back then. Always liked the music, especially when you haven't heard it for years and you come across it all this time later.
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago. I've been listening to it over and over again on UA-cam ever since. This is seriously one of my favourite songs. I love it.
This video shows that we are not alone. You are not the only one feeling lonely and asking yourself whats worthing it in your live. I really like the video and the song, very good job sum41!
This song was playing on the radio, luckily I was with my mother. Immediately I asked her "hey mom what's this song called" "sum 41 - pieces" that was 2017, but ever since it reminds me of that moment - I was staying at my aunties going through trauma and it's what I needed at the time my aunty is narcissistic to me and my mother, I'm 20 and very thankful I got to repair me and my mothers relationship I don't judge her 💖
I miss you, all of you. The fire stove burning in the basement, the warmth of a home. We'd stay at his home, live with blink and Shawn of the Dead every weekend. You we're my allies, friends... Allies
When I was 16 I was so sure the growing up would wash this depression away... now sitting hear at 25 all I know is life is full of happiness as well as pain and sometimes the pain makes you forget how good the happiness feels... if you feel like ending it dont know somedays it seems like that's the only way out... as you grow you will learn that there is no enjoying the sun without living threw the rainy days
I tried to be perfect But nothing was worth it I don't believe it makes me real I'd thought it'd be easy But no one believes me I meant all the things I said If you believe it's in my soul I'd say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I'm trying to let you know That I'm better off on my own This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I don't know how it got so bad Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing could save me But it's the only thing that I have If you believe it's in my soul I'd say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That I'm trying to let you know That I'm better off on my own I tried…
Reminds me of walking alone in the streets of Halifax in my college years into going to walking to work at 5am. Isolated, being left out on all the fun others were having, and socially awkward despite trying to be friendly with anyone who talked to me. Now I got a house with a big landmass in Nova Scotia, with no one to share it with, other than my dog who lives with me and family who comes to visit. The song, along with the video, captures the loneliness of living in a big city and in a way, rural Canada.
you know its a good song when the music you listened to in your teens come back to hit you harder when you're an adult. This will be on my playlist forever
Sum 41 has always been one of my favorite bands growing up since High School and now i'm in my late 20s coming back to them again. Specifically this song right now with how I feel like my life is...unfortunate that things can pull a 180 in life.
Holy shit I remember watching the "making of" or behind the scenes for this video when it came out. It was amazing back then and it's still awesome now.
I used to be depressed but I grew up as a person and I'm good. Time & trials are what you need to go through but as soon as you get complacent with being depressed I have no sympathy for you at that point because that would be a personal choice to be stuck. You can fight through anything & grow.
This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I don't know how it got so bad Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing could save me i listened to this song over and over again after my breakup.
These type of songs reminds me my teenage, which, in reality, I didn’t lived it as a teenager because life was hard and I was forcing to be a man, a grown man and start work early to feed family....life’s unfair and we should change this and help people...😔❤️
I saw these guys live this past Wednesday with The Offspring. When they played this I broke down crying. This song saved my life more times than I can count, so hearing it live (not just that, but at my first concert) was one of the most beautiful, emotional experiences of my life.
A couple years back I got to see them perform live along with papa roach it was the best concert I attended when they played this song I got chills started to sing along My favorite song from sum 41 Oh yeah they did a cover to blur song 2 it was amazing
All I can really comment and say is to stay strong Derek. I know it seems like all your monsters have come and invaded the small space in your head but your stronger than that. Always have been a fan of sum41 and still will be. Stay strong bro, these times may be hard but you'll be able to get through it all.
this is a masterpiece? i especially relate to the lyrics as i usually do with their songs, but melody still is great. the acustic version is great too. i love sum so much, deryck please always stay healthy
its painful to know that we are moving away from those times so fast, its already the 20's starting. Music like this was great late 90's and early 00's. and we are getting old 😭
Stay strong sister. I was a depressed kid but now I'm an active adult. At least more than not. God bless you. PS- It's wonderful how we can connect with people we've never met through music of an era that defined our formative years.
I kind of forgot the existence of this song for years. Listening to this brings back memories from my teenage years, feeling depressed and lost...and it makes me feel so grateful to be where I am today. The power of good lyrics and music ❤
Teenage nostalgia, I am 31 this year, still remember first learning the chords to this song on the guitar when I was 16
✊
I’m 21 and I’m learning this!
am 31
I'm thirty my man ❤️
Those days....
I know we still have many years and we are young but...... Those days 🙏🏻
Love that time of my life! I'm 31 too
I needed to revisit this after Deryck dropped his memoir. Now I have a better understanding on what inspired this song. My thoughts go out to Deryck. He deserves justice.😢
That’s a great point. I loved Treble Charger

Loved this song when it came out. Since then it’s literally become my theme song for relationships where I’m not fully accepted and loved. Timeless.
Ahh ya
I allways come back to this. It never gets easy does it? Life is a pain in the ass.
This nostalgia is killing me... and the thought we can't go back.
This song has been stuck in my head for so long. Used to listen to this all the time when it first came out... back in the day!
Why is it so tempting to press replay over and over again?
because class is permanent, pal
where the hell did music like this go?
Nicki minaj's ass

This song never gets old to me.
11 years ago I didn't under stand the meaning of this song much. I do now, and it brings me to tears.
This was Sum 41's masterpiece. ❤
This and Crash for me.
Man, War is a good song too
11 years ago that song brang me to tears. Now i find the lyrics (and video) corny and a little too straightforward but i still love the sound
Amber Richard yes your right
@Zodiak34 Same to you hahah
This helped me throght my depressed teen years and still crying to it as a 26 year old 😭❤
Same here, but i just hit 37 and my wasted youth is all behinhd me along with all my subpar memories
I'm soon 16
Young depressed French teen
Depression is actually awesome makes me notice things I’ve never noticed before.. gotta look forward always.. sad is sad
This song gives me the chills everytime
Every single time.
So fucking good
I never understood the meaning of this song as a kid, but it brings me to tears, as an adult.
man time goes by ouff this hits you

Like this song
@@earthshaker1643 stop being a pessimist.
Still there 15 years later at 34. But I hope it will get better one day. I want you to know that it makes me at least a little happy you made it
It's been 20 years of caring the weight of depression.......it never got better just MORE drugs and booze to feel normal......When does it stop.? I don't know how many more mins if have
Great inspiration
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don’t believe it makes me real
I thought it’d be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said
If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own
This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have
If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own
On my own
I tried to be perfect
It just wasn’t worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It’s hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along
If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own
I always come back to this song... just couldn't stop playing it for the longest of times.
It's Deryck's masterpiece.
This song will never get old, one of my favourites of Sum 41
This song is really sad. Im actually crying
awhh
im sorry to hear that, whats wrong?
Amina jay don't give up, ever.
+Amina jay Yeah this made me sad too... was fine till I turned on this one...
this song gets to me every time. *tear
This song stopped me from killing my self
I'm on a Sum41 marathon in this pandemic. And damn is it making me miss my teenage years.
If you're not emo in this quarantine, you're doing it wrong.
Me too!!! I feel the same.
Still Love this band love this Song ❤
Deryck's masterpiece.
emo forever
Same lol
This song is an emotion for me , lyrics is so much relatable to my life , still a classic for me and would be for my lifetime
The hardest thing Ive had to realize is that being depressed and in pain is a lot more fun when your a teenager. When you grow up you still feel the pain, the difference is that no one cares anymore
not like anyone ever cared, for me at least.
@@kyroslevi8106 no one ever cared for me it left jagged scared that only hate can comfort😞 just wish I had someone that would give a Shit just ONCE!!!
YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE WHEN I AM AN ADULT!?!
No. Things change for everyone but not always up or down. Even if you don't know it, someone out there loves you and cares about you. Remember that.
@@Amelia-xv4gg yes, A LOT WORSE.
Simplemente espectacular!

One of the greatest tracks ever recorded
Just heard this song for the first time, and been listening to it on repeat. This song and video could simply not be truer, and not more relatable in today's day and age
They opened for Good Charlotte in Seattle when i was 11 years old. This Canadian band changed my life. Im 31 now and still listen everyday.
Favourite Sum 41 song hands down!
oh my God,, this song was very memorizing, go flashback in my teen ages, the street when i walk and cryin so deep with this song....
I miss the 2000s
If you listen to it's music then it won't die...
They were so much simper
And had better music
Man I was still in elementary school during the 2000's (born in 98) and I still remember people jamming to bands like Sum 41, Green Day, Linkin Park, and many other huge bands back then. Always liked the music, especially when you haven't heard it for years and you come across it all this time later.
Back when not having a cellphone at 14 was pretty much standard.
2005 Is way Better Than 2004.
"Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing can save me..." It's sad how much I relate to this lyric
i listened to this when i was 15 nowadays every thing have been through and still love this song
so much memories being a kid listening to this song
I am making memories being a kid listening to this song
Beautiful.
Listening it for the first time and it's a masterpiece!
UA-cam algorithm doing its job 👌
I heard this song on the radio a few days ago. I've been listening to it over and over again on UA-cam ever since. This is seriously one of my favourite songs. I love it.
the thing about perfection, is that its unknowable.
that fuckin feeling when you find a song you enjoyed a long time ago and somewhat you forgot about it. It's like meeting a dear old friend
He's aged. So have I after 11 years. But after all struggles and troubles they are my favourite Canadian band!
The part at the end when the 'F' falls off 'life' & changes it to 'lie' was pretty deep.
That was actually not planned but the went with it.
Correct, it was a mistake
@@Milesrgomez idk where you heard that, but if the band said it theres a 9999% chance they were lying out the ass
fav
This video shows that we are not alone.
You are not the only one feeling lonely and asking yourself whats worthing it in your live. I really like the video and the song, very good job sum41!
His vocals are amazing in this song. The way he hits the higher notes... Awesome.
This song is a MASTERPIECE

I miss so much this kind of music, this song is maybe on the top 10 of my teenage and helped me, sometimes hate all the shit in nowdays music
I couldn't agree more...
Every song nowadays is basically ”I had sex the other day, today I sex’d his friend cause he poked my ear”
Music that offers a balanced lyrical picture with raw emotion in tone always a platinum standard in being a replay for tomorrow, love this song
I miss you, all of you. The fire stove burning in the basement, the warmth of a home.
We'd stay at his home, live with blink and Shawn of the Dead every weekend.
You we're my allies, friends... Allies
First off: were*
Secondly? "Allies" twice? Not comrades, brothers and sisters, companions, mates, etc? Just allies a second time?
Punk music will always be my favourite!
good ol days
Perfection doesn’t exist in the world around us nor in ourselves. Perfection is a word, we put the meaning to it
this song is my favourite of all time since so long. I love it and it makes me so happy. I wish that kind of feeling towars a song to everybody.
When I was 16 I was so sure the growing up would wash this depression away... now sitting hear at 25 all I know is life is full of happiness as well as pain and sometimes the pain makes you forget how good the happiness feels... if you feel like ending it dont know somedays it seems like that's the only way out... as you grow you will learn that there is no enjoying the sun without living threw the rainy days
They made the announcement to disband last night and I'm sobbing like a child 😭
Went to see their show last month and when they played that song… it was such a great moment… full of emotions
I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I'd thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own
I tried…
Thanks

This needs to be at the top comments
Reminds me of walking alone in the streets of Halifax in my college years into going to walking to work at 5am. Isolated, being left out on all the fun others were having, and socially awkward despite trying to be friendly with anyone who talked to me. Now I got a house with a big landmass in Nova Scotia, with no one to share it with, other than my dog who lives with me and family who comes to visit. The song, along with the video, captures the loneliness of living in a big city and in a way, rural Canada.
Update: Landmass now worth nearly a million, and added a greenhouse. Still the lonely loser since the last post in 2018.
One of the best songs ever. Without a doubt 🙏
you know its a good song when the music you listened to in your teens come back to hit you harder when you're an adult. This will be on my playlist forever
This so song hands down my favourite sum 41 I just feel it Relates so much
Sum 41 has always been one of my favorite bands growing up since High School and now i'm in my late 20s coming back to them again. Specifically this song right now with how I feel like my life is...unfortunate that things can pull a 180 in life.
This song makes me feel so peaceful. It's like if the definition of comfort
my favourite Sum 41 tune...this song gladens my heart for Deryck Whibley that he's sober now and fought his battles with alcohol/depression
They put on a kick ass show last night in seattle
Holy shit I remember watching the "making of" or behind the scenes for this video when it came out. It was amazing back then and it's still awesome now.
This song helped me grow a lot, I love it
I used to be depressed but I grew up as a person and I'm good.
Time & trials are what you need to go through but as soon as you get complacent with being depressed I have no sympathy for you at that point because that would be a personal choice to be stuck.
You can fight through anything & grow.

I Just downloaded this song recently
Hell yeah boy
I'm in 2019
2019 music is shit.... man I miss this genre.
This song is a symbol of a my teenagehood.... and 7 years later: still rocks like the first day.
14 years later do it still rock dawg?
this lockdown quarantine shit has finally helped find some time to go back to my childhood.
Who comes to listen this when the year is about to end (good music)
Every year, kid.
its painful to know that we are moving away from those times so fast, its already the 20's starting. Music like this was great late 90's and early 00's. and we are getting old 😭
Here 😁
This thing still rock dude 🤙..crazy!!!
those times I was a only a depressed teen... Now I'm a depressed adult :(
stay strong, im depressed at not being able to live in ur time, this generation is so screwed
Too real ):
Stay strong friends! 🙏🏻
Stay strong sister. I was a depressed kid but now I'm an active adult. At least more than not. God bless you.
PS- It's wonderful how we can connect with people we've never met through music of an era that defined our formative years.

Bro how have i not discovered this in my 13 years on this planet
Dont worry it took me 18, wish I had this in middle school
well did you expect to watch it when you were 1
This is a great tune for when you walk out in the dark outside
