Which molded dad's like me it's what you do for your family . The only escape is to pray the choices dads have to make sometimes leaves us questioning our faith sometimes questioning if we are worthy of God's love but I agree this album helps
my son and i listened to this song every morning driving to work with coffe for over two years . hepassed away last april two weeks after his 30th birthday. i still listen to it every day
I lost my son last December to overdose. I know how you feel. He was only 38. I hope you are OK and we can each do something memoralizing our son's life's.
For me this song is about fighting addiction and God being the only one that can save you from it. I've been there for a long time but I hit my knees and begged God to take it from me and I'm proud to say with a great husband and a loving church family and a merciful God I am clean And stronger than ever. You just have to pray to God and trust in him with all are your heart and all things can be made right through Christ and Christ alone.
@@souleater9574. No you're wrong. And I think any one that reads my comment knows that with you putting in the hard work and God that's what will save you because I can promise you that without God guiding me I'd be dead somewhere from herion and other drugs.
Good job! Keep it up, you can do better than that! Don't waste your life being a junkie. You've probably missed out on some of the finer things in life. Most of them are simple but still, I hope you are making up for lost time and find peace of mind 🙂
Oh and one more thing bro.... YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHOM STRENGTHENS YOU!!! STAY BLESSED BRO... YOU MADE IT!! IT’S A DAILY FIGHT AND SOMETIMES IT’S A ONCE IN A WHILE FIGHT... REGARDLESS BRO... NEVER FORGET HIM RESCUING YOU SO YOU COULD RESCUE YOUR OWN SELF ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Creed gets more uplifting each passing year. The late '90s were so much fun. I hope and pray we may experience another time like that in this life. Deep pools in summertime, amazing movies, Playstation/N64, go-karts, and music that was just plain fun to listen to.
Oh honey, hang on sweetie. You are so young and GOD is EVERLASTING. Even at 63 I'm still struggling behind those bars. I try to let go and LET GOD, and I'm still searching for the how to do that manual. It's like a dummy's guide for a long life of being so celf centered along with ALL of the oldies but goodies like pride, arrogance, hatred, bigotry, malice and ALL the rest of the sins we as humans always fall into. Obviously if I were perfect, I wouldn't be up on a Monday morning, banging my own head inside this cell I locked my own self into because I wouldn't yield to the LORD. But PRAISE GOD AND HE IS NOT DONE WITH ME YET or I wouldn't be here at 2:20 am commenting on your testimony.
Hey love! Keep on coming back for your life!! You will make it and the world will look like a total different place!! Trust me I have my own demons from the past and I created my own prison!! Like Miss Paula McMillian said GOD is everlasting and you will make it babes!! Good Luck to you and Miss Paula McMillian!! The prison bars will get a little looser and your freedom will come!!🖤🤍💖🤍🖤
It’s weird but only by the grace of Jesus I’m still here ,I’m 61 lost a lot of brothers and sisters,and it makes me think what does he want me to do,and I’m damn well ready to do whatever he wants,is there anyone who feels that way
To all of those that are saying they are free from addiction finally. God bless everyone of you. Know there are people proud of you, and every day you remain sober is proof of that. Walk the long path its rewarding.
My brother passed away January 10th 2022. My brother spend most of his adult life in addiction or prison unfortunately. growing up my dad played creed all the time for us, this song was one of our favorites. When we’d go visit my brother we’d always listen to creed like we were kids in the backseat again driving around with dad. I play this every time I visit his grave now or when I need to scream it out. I’m thankful for creed & how it reminds me of my childhood and my brother. Rest In Peace, Christopher. You’re forever missed.
JesusLovesGunViolence Wonder if she’ll answer back since it was a year ago lol but I feel like this song can make anyone who has been through some shit feel this in their heart. Great song to sit down and just soak it in!!
I’m 29 and I’m rediscovering my favorite band from when I was 10-12. I forgot how awesome this music is. My first albums were Weathered and Human Clay.
My brother passed away in 2018 and this is one of the last songs we listened to together.. we didn't always see eye to eye cuz he was still using before he passed even tho I was recovering I let him stay with me and tried to get him help. I still regret not being with him that day.
Laying my father to rest. As he is free from his own prison. 1st time i have been brave enough to listen and not break apart.... R.I.P. POPPZ... SUN SHINES BRIGHT FOR U ALWAYS...
My dad killed himself may 27th 1998 .. he listened to this song on repeat while he did it... everytime I hear this song I think of him in his final moments.... such a great song
this song means alot to me because im currently an addict & often fight with myself because i know whats expected of me as far as getting clean. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain!! and i understand that but why cant it be that easy ? you know they say you'll go get clean when you've ahd enough but believe me ive had enough.. And i want to go i do. please pray for me to find the courage to just take the first steps into getting my life back. 💓
I'm 👍 3yrs sober and 3months.yeah ! So glad to hear see listening. And I LOOKED AROUND AND MY MOM, Dad,BROTHER TO. AND THE OTHER ALL ON PAINKILLERS. AND I WAS IN A NIGHTMARE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I HAD REALLY LIKE KNOWINGLY REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT I HAD TO BLAMED MYSELF BUT NO MORE OF BLAMING SELF
It's definitely your fault that you were on them, but it was also you that ultimately changed that. You need to hold yourself accountable but also give yourself some credit! Congratulations on your sobriety!
Lost my husband less then 2months ago to heroin overdose..he couldn't escape his prison..he got life..I got sober Clean off heroin the day my husband died..so in a sense he saved me..
Hearing this song again for the first time since I was a kid. I’m 29. My step dad used to play Creed all the time. Brings back a lot of memories. Shoutout to Tik Tok for making me find this song again
@@jahsoniclark9844 Time to grow up? What the hell is your problem? You just admitted that you've been depressed your whole life, maybe you should grow up, you insensitive prick.
I was lucky enough to see this concert with my two sons. It was amazing and I loved them being there and watching it together! My youngest son was so into it, he was dancing. My oldest son was standing beside me singing. That's been the only concert my youngest son has been to in his life so far. He's grown up and has a family of his own and we all still talk about how fantastic the concert was! 😍😘😁💖
I also saw Creed in concert. It was many years ago and I went with my daughter who was a teen at the time. We had great fun. I had hoped we would be able to go again and a couple years later was sad to hear they had disbanded
I remember in 98 I was about 9 or 10 and I went with my dad on the road. He is a truck driver. He had this whole case set for tapes of all the music he liked’ most of it was from the 80s and 70s. Then he pulled this one out and started to jam it! Fell in love with creed ever since! Thanks pop!
Not the biggest creed fan but this song is amazing. Instantly relatable, rememberable, multiple choruses, changeups, bridges. Insanely great production and instrumentation. And leaves you inspired and wanting to be better for your self and family. Haunting and tear jerking song for many people and families of the captivity of the criminal justice system and narcotic addiction...listening this I just run through my head my old friends mugshots, decaying bodies when I run into them at whatever store they’re stealing from, and many many overdose funeral bodies...cry out to God
Beautiful song that shows you can turn your life around while your still here. A few years ago by my own admission I was a complete scumbag. Then one day I heard this song and it really got me thinking and took a long look in the mirror. Can proudly say that I've found God and have never felt better about myself. Thank You Creed.
that line always hits me hard for some reason i cry out to god seeking only his decision gabriel stands and confirms iv created my own prison iv struggled with severe depression and anxiety for the most part of my life it feels like your looked inside yourself and cant escape
So do I suck off a shot gun or just do better? I hate the taste of gun metal so I will do better. 2019 is the year so lets go and do it and I will not go it alone. I feel like Im coming home again after
I was in the state penitentiary in Maryland and we had little radio's in classification and this song started playing, it was definitely felt from within!!!!!!!
My go to song when life starts to eat me alive. I used to say and be proud of it... “im not afraid to die” when the truth of the matter was and is, i was afraid to live. Should of been dead many sunday mornings banging my head. The drug never loves you back, your never gonna please it..... i often think if i just would of heard my father say “i love you” just one time..... ill tell you this, my son doesnt leave a room im in or hang up a phone call that he doesnt hear me say, “i love you” thank God for this song and how it opened my mind
I lost track of when or what came but good music..in a way I feel like the song alone no friends but it's ok..not my fault they got drunk I didn't get in the car..rip still blasting
I cried out to God seeking only his decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created My Own Prison. those lyrics really stuck out to me throughout the whole song. I have to give it to Scott Stapp, man he's a gifted and talented writer. despite what the haters say.
Michael Gonzalez he told GOD would put GOD and CHRIST JESUS in his music and asked GOD if HE would bless him and make him get noticed and GOD made him big
best part of the whole song!!! it's that riff that stirs my nostalgia of younger years... Time flies and still in my own prison, to this day...... "i created, i created,i created my own prison! !""
134 clean headed to prison tonight as a volinteer chaplin to minister the gospel to my brothers on the inside thank you lord for allowing me to be a vessel to serve you Aaaaaamen
nagging my family and others this is where I was for many many years in prison spiritually in prison today I am a free man I do not sell drugs and I do not run anything but share Christ with all my heart can I go on loving other people to Christ
I used to cry every time this came on as a kid, reminded me of my dad who left us.. now I'm an adult and no longer crying when I hear this. So much growth has occured. Leaving us was his loss, not ours and I wished younger me knew that at the time
This song game in tune to my head when I was singing for the Lord at work today and I just kept hearing "THE WAR IS WON" ALL PRAISE TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY 🙏 Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding"
I finally found this song. I worked at a gas station for almost a year. We got alot of bikers in the summer, obviously, anyways im changing the outside garbages and this guy cruises off with this song playing and i just looked on after he left thinking he had the best life ever. Rock on.
One of the hardest things to do is dealing with yourself !! Creed projects all the inner self battle in one song. For some reason I deal with this kind of battle 24/7. I have to admit, this song helps me to realize that I'm only hurting myself.
Keep the faith Brother! And don't miss the miracle that's about to happen in your life!!! PLEASE let me know if you need any specific prayer and I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts!!! God Bless You!!!
This is a Badass song and it is a shame that people aren't able to understand that they are almost always totally responsible for their own prisons. Awesome song, very influencial in my life
Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti wrote the music to this song, and lead singer Scott Stapp composed the lyrics, which are about his struggles with life at a time when he was questioning his faith. He realized he had created a prison within his own mind. After Creed became wildly popular (and at the same time, reviled), Stapp created another kind of prison for himself with drug addiction, alcoholism, and a series of unflattering incidents the tabloids lapped up. In 2012, he was able to take an honest look at his life and re-evaluate his priorities, which he wrote about in his memoir Sinner's Creed. When we spoke with Stapp the following year, he explained, "Any time we have reconciliation in life, and any time there's balance brought back into life and perspective, at the end of those things, you find peace and joy and contentment, and that's where my life is today."
Ive been in active addiction for 23 years. Im stuck in a relapse/detox/halfway house cycle that ive been repeating for the last 3 years. I pray that this is the last time i have to go through this meat grinder that is alcohol and drug addiction. Help me Jesus!!!
One day at a time friend, you can overcome this , if u have guilt for some reason , learn how to forgive and love yourself. (It took me a while to learn that ) good luck and I wish u the best. I'll be praying for u
Whether you agree with the spiritual message of the song or not, this is still a well-written song and the artists obviously put a lot of thought, emotion, and creativity in this powerful-and-beautiful song contrasting hate-and-humility.
The My Own Prison album is genuinely really good and I am not a Christian rock fan by any means. My favorite bands are Type O Negative and Bathory but that first album rocked and had tons of great radio singles. Then the fame happened…
valerie ortiz . a extremely beautiful woman like urself who knows good music when she hears it :) where u ben all my life lol anyways hun it's just good to see people are still alive. bet ur soul is just as beautiful as your exterior:)
This song isn't talking about "going through hell" it's talking about someone who was warned multiple times about hell yet still refused to listen. then eventually died and is awaiting the judgement of God. God is judging him and he knows that there is no way out. He's talking about how he should have listened while he was on earth to the "crazy Christians" who warmed him many times. He's talking about how the Cross now makes sense to him, but it's too late now and he's crying out to God, begging Him to let him go, and Gabriel the archangel is standing and confirming that he created his own prison. The lead singer of this band has said that a lot of his songs he writes come from the Bible. He claims to believe. Creed is not necessarily a Christian band. They just wrote a few spiritual songs. This song is a great reminder that you never know how much time you have on this earth. If there is an afterlife, you'd better find out quick.
Lol what? No where near the top 10 haha that's a crime to say that. The fact that every Alice in Chains album, pearl jam, candlebox, stone temple Pilots..would be ahead of this...it could not fit in the top 10.
I love a good voice as i love to sing...but this man can SING....SEXY VOICE...I AM A HOMELESS 61 YEAR OLD WOMAN HUSBAND DIED 21 MONTHS AGO...SO VERY LONELY....AS I SIT IN A ROOM I WILL JUST SING OUT LOUD.. WHAT IS THIS LIFE FOR????? RAISED A FAMILY IN A GOOD HOME....THEY ARE NOT HERE FOR ME....MY SISTER NIECE IN A HALF MILLION DOLLAR HOME AND ME SO LONELY I CANT BREATHE.....MUSIC TAKES ME.... BACK....PAUL ROGERS IS MY FAV....BUT PRAY FOR ME....PLEASE I GOT OFF THE SUBJECT A BIT I REACH OUT TO WHO I CAN....I COULD USE A FRIEND HERE IN CLEBURNE TEXAS.....GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Kathy Madden Scott Stapp used to be very hot ... but he is also one hot mess; everything from alcoholism and drug addiction to driving while drunk, and domestic assault ... married twice. Whew, quite a handful if you ask me. Are sure you still would want to be "lucky" wife number three? ~giggles~
Angeliqe Dark I always interpreted this song as a man who committed evils his whole life, the final one being murder. Condemned to die, he was reflecting and seeking forgiveness, accepting responsibility for what he had done and the pain he caused ... but it was too late in the material world, so he was seeking salvation.
10 years from the needle 4 years from meth.. still struggling with alcohol and pills. Tryin to put I down... IT'S SO HARD!!!! I CRY OUT TO GOD SEEKING ONLY HIS DESICION... GABRIEL STANDS AND CONFIRMS I'VE CTEATED MY OWN PRISON!!!!!
You are not the only one by far- I cried like hell with reality of my own prisons, it feels it is a sun that shines on only some, but it comea out for us all-therw for us all just life pushes us here and there and we miss it, so I held my head up high-hiding hate that burns inside (me, I don't hate, but oh, look think, I hate circumstance I hate time hate lies hate being JUDAS I hate much and didnt even know) foolish pride- me! Prideful not at all, but that too out the window so dam proud I wont admit if I'm falling even if the fall is killing me-didnt realize- JUATIN I havent slept for multi hours and believe I'm slightly "over tired gift or maybe just stupidity thia day" BUT HANG IN THERE, doesn't matter what you grab hold of but do it and dont let go, IF U LOSE UR GRIP GRAB AGAIN, never quit trying thats what quiting is! NEVER QUIT TRYING u fall-stand up, fall stand again,fall get on ur knees & push up, fall- roll around all you need but get back up, u need not stand straight - just stand, no matter how u get up or who u use to pull u up or what I use - ALWAYS GET BACK UP! HUG URSELF DAM IT! U r on a difficult path - just stay on the path run, walk skip crawl roll inch by inch but never stop trying, my heart is with you man life is so dam difficult.
"should of been dead, on a Sunday morning , banging my head. Ain't got no time for mournin'. Ain't got no time...." I've always had a love/hate relationship with Creed but it was good music. a major part of the post-grunge revival in the 90's-early 2000's. Forever a flashback
I know probably won't ever find another one like it. Weather if Creed decided they were going to make another song an try an match this one it won't compare.
to everyone on here who lost some one may the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you and keep you and your family I can relate I have lost my dad he is with THE LORD I have lost family members and best friends
Dads in the 90’s were really just raw doggin reality. No meds, no therapy, just this album
One of the best comments ever
Shit was real back then.
also alcohol with drugs
2024 still raw doggin er
Which molded dad's like me it's what you do for your family . The only escape is to pray the choices dads have to make sometimes leaves us questioning our faith sometimes questioning if we are worthy of God's love but I agree this album helps
my son and i listened to this song every morning driving to work with coffe for over two years . hepassed away last april two weeks after his 30th birthday. i still listen to it every day
I lost my son last December to overdose. I know how you feel. He was only 38. I hope you are OK and we can each do something memoralizing our son's life's.

Those lyrics are timeless. I have stage 4 cancer. This rattles in our heads often.

I played this for my son's one 29 , passed away. This was his favorite band . A loving Mom going down memory lane.
Been dealing with depression for about 2 years now due to a past relationship. Thankful for this song
I feel for you. I have bad PTSD related to a near death car wreck in 2006. Music definitely keeps me grounded.

Been suffering near PTSD effects from a past relationship for nearly a year but thank God I'm slowly but surely healing from it a little bit each day

Then one day I heard this song and it really got me thinking and took a long look in the mirror. Can proudly say that I've found God and have never felt better about myself. Thank You Creed.

Awesome testimony, Brother! I will keep you and your family in my prayers! Fight the good fight and NEVER give-up your faith!!! Amen to that!
Glad you turned the ship around
OMG that touched me
This song brought me back to God in the 90's! Thank you Lord for using the foolish things in this world for your glory
There isn't great music like this anymore,that's why people don't have any heart or pride,and respect!
Omfg I know so tired of the disrespectful people in the world today. Wish everyone cared about everyone a lot more. Would be a better place
Who’s jammin Creed in July 2020?
I slam it all the time
I got one even better than that What about in September
I got us some more work too I like it
October 20
Fuck yes
The prison you create can be anything you struggle with and need to ask for help with when you're ready. Nobody is perfect.😌
Amen to that Sister!!!
It just helps me rely on myself...because I trust in Him.
O-Key Doe-Key I really appreciate it. God bless.
that line always hits me hard for some reason i cry out to god seeking only his decision gabriel stands and confirms iv created my own prison iv struggled with severe depression and anxiety for the most part of my life it feels like your looked inside yourself and cant escape
So do I suck off a shot gun or just do better? I hate the taste of gun metal so I will do better. 2019 is the year so lets go and do it and I will not go it alone. I feel like Im coming home again after
My God... Scott nailed this one right here... Have we not all felt like THIS. .. we all seem to do this.. thank the Lord for his forgiveness
this song gives me cold chills everytime.... it is awesome... tears flow when i hear it... makes me think...
RIP my loving wife and best friend kate. You will always be with me, I will carry your spirit until we meet again on the other side.
Whos still listening in 2019?
The music came out In The 90s and early 2000....this is one the greatest bands out of my era.
Yessir 2019 and its still good
Hereee
BLESSED TODAY 2020 year of GREATNESS
Every chance I get! Creed has been the soundtrack for a lot of years in my life.
Wow this song is 24 25 years old man I'm getting old.
I was in the state penitentiary in Maryland and we had little radio's in classification and this song started playing, it was definitely felt from within!!!!!!!
@bigmassive69 hell yeah brother!!!!!! 💯
I did two terms dyard chowchilla I feel ya I recently kicked probation
I feel it bro
My go to song when life starts to eat me alive. I used to say and be proud of it... “im not afraid to die” when the truth of the matter was and is, i was afraid to live. Should of been dead many sunday mornings banging my head. The drug never loves you back, your never gonna please it..... i often think if i just would of heard my father say “i love you” just one time..... ill tell you this, my son doesnt leave a room im in or hang up a phone call that he doesnt hear me say, “i love you” thank God for this song and how it opened my mind
Stay strong Steven, I have a 15 yr old son, he leaves me praying for my next breath. Peace
Damn time flies I was in high school when this track dropped
I was 7 years old
I lost track of when or what came but good music..in a way I feel like the song alone no friends but it's ok..not my fault they got drunk I didn't get in the car..rip still blasting
I realized i have suffered with depression for a long time. I was never an addict but i relate to it.
I cried out to God seeking only his decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created My Own Prison. those lyrics really stuck out to me throughout the whole song. I have to give it to Scott Stapp, man he's a gifted and talented writer. despite what the haters say.
Michael Gonzalez he told GOD would put GOD and CHRIST JESUS in his music and asked GOD if HE would bless him and make him get noticed and GOD made him big
Heavy and deep. Deep waters that only God can pull us out of.
This song is brilliant in my opinion.
best part of the whole song!!! it's that riff that stirs my nostalgia of younger years... Time flies and still in my own prison, to this day...... "i created, i created,i created my own prison! !""
Too bad Creed isn't still around. One of my favorite bands of ALL time
Kevin Wheeler I really love creed because he has GOD and THE SON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in his music
Kevin Wheeler I wish they were still around also
Unfortunately.. music like this is not around at all anymore and I'm sad :(.
jacqueliney32 your right all the stuff we grew up with and appreciate is from back in the day

the real question is , who didn't know Creed was Christian rock band ? And , one the of biggest selling Christian bands of their time .
Too rite .God bless creed
Gabriel is a real arch angel that Gods laws. He stands up for what's right in the Holy Bible
I played this loud enough for my neighbor to hear and they thought it was so good that they invited the cops
LMFAO I was just thinking same shit I'm gonna play this so loud the cops are gonna roll up
I love it loud! Headphones are the best.

Amen Brother!!!
To me, this is one of the best written songs I've ever heard. It is my favorite song of all time.
James Hurst Ditto

This and with arms wide open is good
His voice...one of my fave songs 💜
This song speaks to my heart cause I’ve been locked up and had no one but my creator. Very heavy mental stress, you look to something to keep you sane
nagging my family and others this is where I was for many many years in prison spiritually in prison today I am a free man I do not sell drugs and I do not run anything but share Christ with all my heart can I go on loving other people to Christ
Sad that people don't see the lord like that.
This got me through my come down off of heroin after a 14 year addiction. Thank God and I thank them for this song 🙏
Congrats my man. 1 month clean from opiates. It's a real life devil.
I love all there music!! Each song makes you think and understand our crazy lifes!!!!!
Shut up 666
This is loyce. Creed is still a awesome band to listen to. If music was made today like this what a better place it would be.
I used to cry every time this came on as a kid, reminded me of my dad who left us.. now I'm an adult and no longer crying when I hear this. So much growth has occured. Leaving us was his loss, not ours and I wished younger me knew that at the time
Wish I could figure that out now. Time are hard
No time for mourning, ain't got no time.
Your a strong beauty. Remember that love 💘❤💕💗💖♥
This song game in tune to my head when I was singing for the Lord at work today and I just kept hearing "THE WAR IS WON" ALL PRAISE TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY 🙏
Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding"
Creed has always made me stop and think. Life's good take all which is the most meaningful and make the absolute most of it.
Yes
Tammie Cooley I love how he has GOD CHRIST JESUS in his music I cry out to GOD
Boss
I finally found this song. I worked at a gas station for almost a year. We got alot of bikers in the summer, obviously, anyways im changing the outside garbages and this guy cruises off with this song playing and i just looked on after he left thinking he had the best life ever. Rock on.
song helped me during lock down...respect
One of the hardest things to do is dealing with yourself !! Creed projects all the inner self battle in one song. For some reason I deal with this kind of battle 24/7. I have to admit, this song helps me to realize that I'm only hurting myself.
Alvaro Espinoza
You are becoming enlightened
Keep the faith Brother!
And don't miss the miracle that's about to happen in your life!!! PLEASE let me know if you need any specific prayer and I will keep you and your family in my prayers and thoughts!!! God Bless You!!!
Man this is such a deep song. The metaphors in the lyrics and the music and vocals all just blend. Plus the subject matter is so good.
Oh how I miss this band great full for the music they delivered
This is an amazing song. Plain and simple.
This is a Badass song and it is a shame that people aren't able to understand that they are almost always totally responsible for their own prisons. Awesome song, very influencial in my life
Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti wrote the music to this song, and lead singer Scott Stapp composed the lyrics, which are about his struggles with life at a time when he was questioning his faith. He realized he had created a prison within his own mind.
After Creed became wildly popular (and at the same time, reviled), Stapp created another kind of prison for himself with drug addiction, alcoholism, and a series of unflattering incidents the tabloids lapped up. In 2012, he was able to take an honest look at his life and re-evaluate his priorities, which he wrote about in his memoir Sinner's Creed. When we spoke with Stapp the following year, he explained, "Any time we have reconciliation in life, and any time there's balance brought back into life and perspective, at the end of those things, you find peace and joy and contentment, and that's where my life is today."
Lost my wife and in-laws they created there own prison
Love this song ❤ love CREED pray many will also be saved by the lord
Still rocking April 12 2019 💯🤘❤
My birthdays April 10th my favorite song
ME TO IM A 80S DUDE GREW UP 70S N 80S MUSIC BEST MUSIC OF ALL SOME 90S AS CREED
Me too
Still listening n always will love this band
Jesus is your hope. God loves you
Ive been in active addiction for 23 years. Im stuck in a relapse/detox/halfway house cycle that ive been repeating for the last 3 years. I pray that this is the last time i have to go through this meat grinder that is alcohol and drug addiction. Help me Jesus!!!
You will get through this my friend will be praying for you
Patrick, I’m rooting for you. You can do it. Invest in yourself daily, you’re worth it.
An old friend is going through the same
One day at a time friend, you can overcome this , if u have guilt for some reason , learn how to forgive and love yourself. (It took me a while to learn that ) good luck and I wish u the best. I'll be praying for u
Whether you agree with the spiritual message of the song or not, this is still a well-written song and the artists obviously put a lot of thought, emotion, and creativity in this powerful-and-beautiful song contrasting hate-and-humility.
Great song! Powerful lyrics.
Wtf creed is actually fucking great im shocked
The My Own Prison album is genuinely really good and I am not a Christian rock fan by any means. My favorite bands are Type O Negative and Bathory but that first album rocked and had tons of great radio singles. Then the fame happened…
I was in an addiction also finally beat it thank you God and Jesus Christ very very much Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
you did it yourself...god had nothing to do with it
5 1/2 years sober. Haven't heard this song in a very long time. I wish you were here sister to see the difference you were wishing for. I love you.
Creed has been my favorite band since I was little
Your a little bitch
@@df2628 lol
I will never forget my long ride to Florida..this was the only cd I had,no fm had this song on repeat,fell in love..
valerie ortiz . a extremely beautiful woman like urself who knows good music when she hears it :) where u ben all my life lol anyways hun it's just good to see people are still alive. bet ur soul is just as beautiful as your exterior:)
I would have threw myself out the window after the first song
benoit90000 lmao!!!
valerie ortiz this song is no doubt pretty awesome. just like your face. seriously though these lyrics are deep
and the content of the lyrics about god. there should be more bands like this
This song isn't talking about "going through hell" it's talking about someone who was warned multiple times about hell yet still refused to listen. then eventually died and is awaiting the judgement of God. God is judging him and he knows that there is no way out. He's talking about how he should have listened while he was on earth to the "crazy Christians" who warmed him many times. He's talking about how the Cross now makes sense to him, but it's too late now and he's crying out to God, begging Him to let him go, and Gabriel the archangel is standing and confirming that he created his own prison. The lead singer of this band has said that a lot of his songs he writes come from the Bible. He claims to believe. Creed is not necessarily a Christian band. They just wrote a few spiritual songs. This song is a great reminder that you never know how much time you have on this earth. If there is an afterlife, you'd better find out quick.
interesting
Sike
Monica Wallace You are spot on.
Monica Wallace good song...minus the fact there is no heaven or hell lol. Still a good jam tho
Monica Wallace I'm lucky enough to know this feeling and still be here to talk about it
Addiction is a horrible cycle that I pray stays behind me... I shoulda been dead so many times but the Lord looked out for me!!!
One of the top 10 albums of the 90's for sure.
Heard this on the radio in the car this morning. It made me sigh and yearn for the 90's. Ah, when music was great...
Lol what? No where near the top 10 haha that's a crime to say that. The fact that every Alice in Chains album, pearl jam, candlebox, stone temple
Pilots..would be ahead of this...it could not fit in the top 10.
Chris Wilson 4 real
I love a good voice as i love to sing...but this man can SING....SEXY VOICE...I AM A HOMELESS 61 YEAR OLD WOMAN HUSBAND DIED 21 MONTHS AGO...SO VERY LONELY....AS I SIT IN A ROOM I WILL JUST SING OUT LOUD.. WHAT IS THIS LIFE FOR????? RAISED A FAMILY IN A GOOD HOME....THEY ARE NOT HERE FOR ME....MY SISTER NIECE IN A HALF MILLION DOLLAR HOME AND ME SO LONELY I CANT BREATHE.....MUSIC TAKES ME.... BACK....PAUL ROGERS IS MY FAV....BUT PRAY FOR ME....PLEASE I GOT OFF THE SUBJECT A BIT I REACH OUT TO WHO I CAN....I COULD USE A FRIEND HERE IN CLEBURNE TEXAS.....GOD BLESS YOU ALL
who's still listening this on 2019
close enough?
R4ndom Vid3os i am
Loving all of your 2019 comments on songs 😂
Oct 2nd 2019. Good music never grows old....
Who knows, its only 2018
His voice is amazing
Voice? Scott Staff-married-but is so so HOT !!!! ( Lucky wife he's got )
Kathy Madden Scott Stapp used to be very hot ... but he is also one hot mess; everything from alcoholism and drug addiction to driving while drunk, and domestic assault ... married twice. Whew, quite a handful if you ask me. Are sure you still would want to be "lucky" wife number three? ~giggles~
A man who has been through many evils knows how to appreciate when he finds something good. IF he finds redemption of course lol Angel Deville
Angeliqe Dark I always interpreted this song as a man who committed evils his whole life, the final one being murder. Condemned to die, he was reflecting and seeking forgiveness, accepting responsibility for what he had done and the pain he caused ... but it was too late in the material world, so he was seeking salvation.
Angel Deville that's good, I never thought of it like that
Biggest Christian rock song of all time! Whose with me? 🤘🤘
I heard this song many times growing up,always felt it..now im grown this song touches my soul..one of my favorites I realized..
valerie ortiz hey
valerie ortiz
You are beautiful
valerie ortiz pleas say something back
valerie ortiz
Great song. I got to go to one of their concerts. It was really cool.
10 years from the needle 4 years from meth.. still struggling with alcohol and pills. Tryin to put I down... IT'S SO HARD!!!! I CRY OUT TO GOD SEEKING ONLY HIS DESICION... GABRIEL STANDS AND CONFIRMS I'VE CTEATED MY OWN PRISON!!!!!
You are not the only one by far- I cried like hell with reality of my own prisons, it feels it is a sun that shines on only some, but it comea out for us all-therw for us all just life pushes us here and there and we miss it, so I held my head up high-hiding hate that burns inside (me, I don't hate, but oh, look think, I hate circumstance I hate time hate lies hate being JUDAS I hate much and didnt even know) foolish pride- me! Prideful not at all, but that too out the window so dam proud I wont admit if I'm falling even if the fall is killing me-didnt realize- JUATIN I havent slept for multi hours and believe I'm slightly "over tired gift or maybe just stupidity thia day" BUT HANG IN THERE, doesn't matter what you grab hold of but do it and dont let go, IF U LOSE UR GRIP GRAB AGAIN, never quit trying thats what quiting is! NEVER QUIT TRYING u fall-stand up, fall stand again,fall get on ur knees & push up, fall- roll around all you need but get back up, u need not stand straight - just stand, no matter how u get up or who u use to pull u up or what I use - ALWAYS GET BACK UP! HUG URSELF DAM IT! U r on a difficult path - just stay on the path run, walk skip crawl roll inch by inch but never stop trying, my heart is with you man life is so dam difficult.
I first heard this song in 98' as I was riding my bike. I rode for a loop, and 25 miles. Awesome !!
"should of been dead, on a Sunday morning , banging my head. Ain't got no time for mournin'. Ain't got no time...." I've always had a love/hate relationship with Creed but it was good music. a major part of the post-grunge revival in the 90's-early 2000's. Forever a flashback
Gorgeous lyrics, I absolutely LOVE this song.
Tiffany Victoria Laguna Typical of a man that tries to achieve perfection in everything he does... But his mind won't shut down until he achieves it.
Tiffany Victoria Laguna. well put.
Music is therapeutic.
I know probably won't ever find another one like it. Weather if Creed decided they were going to make another song an try an match this one it won't compare.
If you've ever had problems what if by Creed is really good
don't hold hate that burn inside. it only fuels selfish pride. that's the sin brother.
Shut up ignorant spiritt
to everyone on here who lost some one may the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you and keep you and your family I can relate I have lost my dad he is with THE LORD I have lost family members and best friends
We are all 1 a equals singular men equals all.Amen.
When you get goosebumps, cause the lyrics relate....
My godddd this was the first CD I ever bought with my allowance. I think I was... 10? Crazy to hear it again. So damn good!
I get Goosebumps every time I hear this song..one of the best songs out
my mom passed away 3 years ago...this song was playing. haven't gotten over the loss. Good music.
