What I like about Skillet is that, their songs have both meanings. If you're not much of a Christian, you can look at the song as a bad relationship/anger song(all the lies and the stupid things you say and do) If you are a big Christian, you can look at the song as knowing that the topic is the Devil (Poison in my veins, flooding through my veins) It's a win/win situation!
who cares if they're christian? Christian band or not, Skillet is fucking amazing! I wanna see them live, I heard that they're even more amazing when they play live. My ex bestfriend (whom I no longer associate with) went to their tour when they played their album "Awake" .
I know that skillet is a Christian band, but even if they are, you don't have to be Christian to listen to it, they make songs so you can interpret it the way you want to, I am not a Christian but interpret the lyrics in many different ways like abuse, relationships, and other things
Most of there songs are actually about relationships like open wounds is based on the past relationship with his father. Thats why i love skillet so much
Dude I really needed this song. I recently had a bad break-up and this reminds me of the importance of WHY the break-up happened. THANK YOU SKILLET!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
Skillet said that this song is not just about either a harmful evil influence to Christians or getting out of a bad relationship, it can also be about a boss you had that was awful, a parent, anyone basically. About you basically cutting some person out of your life that was causing you harm
Couldn't this also be talking about the side of yourself that you don't like but have to live with?? The side that causes the addictions, falls to temptations, and screws up often??
I have bipolar disorder and I immediately related the lyrics of this song to the constant life long battle I have going on daily and how it took me a really long time to understand that I AM NOT BIPOLAR...I HAVE a bipolar disorder! It does not define who I am! Love this song!!!
I have ADHD. So i often overthink and sometimes become easily agitated and annoyed. So sometimes i get on the bad side of the people i told myself i would never hurt. It kills me to know that i cant really do much to stop that. So i listen to this song and point it at my ADHD and once in a while point it at the people who have wronged me and made me feel small
I love this song.. it is amazing,it explains what i am feeling right now because of a "friend" i just lost,and now i just realised how much of a pain this "friend" is and how much of a friend it is, " When a loser gets up,he forgets of those who raised him " .
Gosh, this song is on point when you finally realize you’ve been living with a Narcissistic person. So this song is dedicated to the narc in my life. Let’s get this story straight, you are a poison, Is not me it’s YOU.
I am looking for versions of this song to do with Sign language and yours is perfect! Thanks for posting, I know I'm an album behind on signing but this is one of my favs!!!!!
I was scrolling through music recommendations and I ended up on a skillet binge. Oh my god. This is one of the most uplifting bands I've ever heard. I love it.
My ex used to hit me and belittle me by putting me down. She always would tell me that I was a fuck up and a weak maggot. So much to the point I believed her. She got into my head and made me believe that I couldn't do better than someone like her. I was in that cycle for several years. It took me, what felt like forever, to understand that it wasn't me, but her.
Hope you're doing better and find the right person for you who will treat you with respect and validate your feelings and not make you feel like you're losing control on life.
I’m so sorry.. I know your pain. Similar things happened to me, the scars are infinite. You deserve much better and I’m glad you finally got out 💔💖 I have yet to take those same steps. You are incredibly strong for keeping yourself together after all that. Never forget how special you are.. people will try to tear you down and make you feel like less than nothing but never listen to them. They could never be more wrong.. if anything, they’re the ones who amount to trash because they can treat other human beings in such a cruel way. It’s so inhumane.
Many do that stuff to their mate, male & female alike both do it. BUT, next time anyone tries that stuff ask them WHY, if you are so bad do they stay with you so long? Or better still just leave them. Really it is something like a red flag for you~ the mouth speaks what is in the heart. That stuff came from her heart & her intention I'm sure was to make you feel about yourself as she feels about her self OR to make you think you MUST stay with HER because you can do not better. All people can con, & be cruel & mean spirited, but women seem to have sharpened their skills in this area to a razor edge & use it too cut the throats of men. Live & learned right? God bless you my friend with a woman that is worth of you. Your sound like a together guy that is better off for ending a relationship like that.
@@cutlerj103 Women are seductive. Highly observant. Manipulative ones know exactly where and how to pinpoint weaknesses of others and use them to their advantage. Men on the other hand are the ones with the silver tongue. They’re always the ones sweet talking, charming, doing and saying anything they can to get close in order to strike with their fangs.
You are strong ,,,dont imagine any of them choking you...you are a true worrior moran you know how to run away from them all especially pain...i always feel like you say"kila mtu atauchukua mzigo wake mwenyewe...
this accurately depicts my relationship with my abusive dad. i cut him off and told him its bc i don't feel safe or comfortable and almost a year later he says i never gave him a reason
Some people put this song as a break up song or otherwise stated meaning. Me? I see every bad event in my otherwise peaceful life. My cousin who is four years behind me, lets call them Kay, was a big toxic friend. They always wanted to do things their way where I was raised to meet half way and compromise. I did everything they wanted me to and whenever I asked for something I wanted to do, Kay would guilt me into doing their thing. It eventually got to a point where I was being the emotions of the relationship-yeah, its that bad-so I cut Kay out of my life via blocking them on Facebook and other medias. They still then tried to make me feel like dirt but haven't been able to since, thankfully. The next event is a short one, this next person, who we'll call Sage, backstabbed me to get my then best friend. Sage was added to my little friend clique, that only consisted of me and my best friend at the time, to see how it would go. She was a chatter box and I didn't mind that much but when she kept complaining that she couldn't draw, I was willing to teach her. My best friend even got in on this but Sage hardly paid any attention to what I was teaching and eventually just left me and my bestie to ourselves. Sage kept sneaking my bestie away from me and I was never included so one day I wanted to have my bestie come with me but Sage started dragging her off, so I pulled back until we just had a tug-o-war with my besties arms. Sage won after my bestie informed me that she wanted to be with her more so I just let her go. It got to a point where Sage started spreading false rumors about me-this was in 7th/8th grade, so I didn't have it all together then. She would say I'm demanding or controlling to my bestie, which I wasn't, and that I beat up one of my few other friends. That was the boiling point for me and I cut her outta my life in 9th grade. This last one is my first and worst relationship. Lets call him Richard. So I had a crush on Richard since junior high as he moved to my little village in 6th grade. At first, he found me odd since I follow my friends everywhere but we eventually became best friends. One day I confessed my love for him and he accepted my confession. What followed was a good 6 months of love and happiness until the fourth of July, where Richard broke up with me over text...It was crushing to me since I've never had a real relationship until then. Then, a few months later, he wanted me to take him back. I was dumb enough to give him another chance and it would cycle back to this way in 5-3 months. I gave Richard over 6 chances until I finally denied him. He never asked again after that. Sorry about this long ass comment but I had to get this off my chest. If you made it this far, congrats! I thank you for your time. Also, here's a cookie 🍪
i listened to skillet from 20011 to 2015 and now i just came here to remember the old me i was so fucking sad broken and hurt. i overthink about all shit and cared abt ppl who don't deserve. im glad i changed
Me too, i sabotaged myself with a lot of beautiful girls when i was 12... a couple of them were incredible beautiful, caring, smart and all, didnt think i was good enough for them or anyone, aww man, i really regret it every day, it sounds weird, but nothing really made me feel as bad as that, i didnt feel anybody loved me back then (thanks to my psyco mother who never really cared that much about me, abandoned me and did a lot of crap to me and my dad) i have to live my life today(15), and its way more harder than it should be thanks to the position my mother put me in... but man.. if i could only return back in time... I really regret back then not getting out of my self-hurt, self-hate shield and... love. its incredible how healty and happy is the life of some 12 y/o,s always thatsomething like that comes in my mind... i cant help but feel like crying....my dad was severely sick, still working and could die any day, my mother became a D type person some years ago, didnt care if i was a winner or not, and my a type dad, always treated me like an adult, my mother was conditioning me to hate him and believe all the bs she said about him... and one day, it hit me hard, right where it hurt and, well, my dad didnt think it affected me that much, my mother careless, i used to cry every day, frustration, regret, confusion, uncertainity, clueless, man, i cant believe i was 12 years old and feeling all that, so many bad emotions..... i wasnt over it at all when my mother then abandoned me, It took me so many effort and time to get over it, tbh my father wasnt that helpful with me until some months ago, but thanks to God, here I am, close to being complete again.
I'm in this comment section cuz of a friend of mine was listening to this song. (honestly these type of songs aren't my style) but, when I first listened to it, I instantly fell in love with it. Like where have u been all my life damn..😍😂
HA! To my father, a big 'screw you'! He needs to accept the consequences and realise how he has completely and utterly destroyed my life. It's his fault, not mine, and I know that now. Thank you, Skillet.
You just described my mother there, abandoned me severely poisoned by her fault at 13, i could have died, my dad almost dying everyday too, and she took all the money,
sorry if im realy late but don't don't give up,you can still be happy in this world, you can just have to tell yourself that everything that you experienced or that you were made to live made you stronger than those who hurt you.
"you were a poison, you flooded through my veins, you left me broken, you tried to make me think that the blame was all on me, with the pain you put me through and now I know it's not me it's you." big screw you to the disease called addiction. lost 2 friends the past week and a half from this demon. skillet is like the best band to listen to in early recovery ! :)
everyone says that his song is about a break up, but I see it otherwise, i see it as a song about betrayal, in my example a person who claims to be a friend and does anything at any opportunity to hurt you and turn all of your friends against you. That friend makes you feel like it is your fault, but it's not true, they did this to you, they hurt you and they poison your life. guys, I'm 15 years old and this happened to me twice and I won't let it happen again, and guys watch your back and if this this happens to you fight back!
TheVeryBestBryant Ever yeah I literally thought this song was about heroin lol. Like it fits perfectly for people that are addicted to it and lie and do a bunch of horrible things because of it so that " it's not me it's you" thing fits perfect
When you face so many bad things in your life because you are different, you start to feel alone and have doubts and you'll hold on to the bad things which is a lie; both Christian and sinners will judge. My message to the broken hearted is, if you take your bad experiences from the past and look at it from a positive perspective you will find out your really not alone, Takes time and patience but just because someone is judging you, just be kind and respectful and listen because if you set your mind in the right place which doesn't happen over night you will find the answers and be happy again.
Right now this song does not apply to my family or to any of my past relationships. This song is about the most annoying college textbook on the planet! It's not me, it's you!
This song is dedicated to my final ex. Sorry, you may have tried to break what soul i do have telling me i was a cheater when such a horrendious thing never even came to mind, but guess what, It's not going to happen again. I may be a fool but i'm not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. Take your so called love and hit the road.
I was once the "bad guy" in this song. It took someone saying that it isn't others that lie to blame it is myself. Though my case isn't the rule I still understand that sometimes these things need to be said and I thank my Friend that called me on it. I encourage everyone to take a stand for themselves and others.
I just sent this song to my brother and my sister that I moved in with and they really screwed me over taking everything from me all I had to eat on monthly was $20 so I said this is how I feel
This song was not written about any relationship. Its about drug addiction. But thats what awesome about music.... everyone can relate to it in one way or another. Its 2016.....and its still an awesome song :)
Quote-John Cooper mentioned in a fan interview that "It's Not Me, It's You" is his favorite song on the album because of its 'in your face' rock. He explains that it's about getting rid of a negative influence in your life, and finally realizing that it's them that is bringing you down. just so you know. Drugs, relationships, pretty much any bad influence is how he put it in the interview.
"Let's get the story straight You were a poison You flooded through my veins You left me broken You tried to make me think That the blame was all on me With the pain you put me through And now I know that it's not me it's you!" So this is how Sonic (if he was real) and SEGA would respond to *those* Sonic fanboys (you know who you are).
I used to never understand the meaning of this song. I never knew who they were talking about. But now I know who they are talking about, from my own experiences in life.... I know that they are talking about Satan.
Reminds me of my dad. Nothing is ever his fault- its always mine. I used to believe that, and it got me really depressed. I thought that it was my fault he deserted us when I was five, because of my ADHD. Now he has 5 kids in total (including me and my brother). Only one of them he is still in contact with. The only one without a mental health condition. Screw him
Sorry for those who use this song as a religion reference. I do believe this is more about a breakup. Doesn't matter if Skillet is a Christian band. To know a song's meaning is more important.
And John said in an interview, this is about his feelings for his father when he was a teenager because he went through an emotional abuse with his father right after his mother died of Cancer
There are some people here who are obviously NOT getting this song at all. This has nothing to do with Satan. If you have never been in an abusive relationship you would never get this song. I can relate to this song. I was blamed by my ex for yrs. I would get up get bitched at go to bed get bitched at. I would get called horrible names. He beat me up several times and say well you act like it happens all the time that WAS NOT the point the point was it still happened. I realized after yrs of this it was NOT me that had the problem it was him. Thats what people like them want they want you to surrender to them they want you to have nothing. If you are in this type of relationship get out now before its to late.
FangedFury As you are not the writer of this song it is alright to interpret it in whatever manner you please; however it is not okay to force your opinions on others. Skillet's songs are made to be interpreted in more ways one than and this is a fact that cannot be denied. So it is not fair to make such a statement. This is my only problem with your comment.
Kira Suzuki Ok, so it's alright for me assume this song is about rape and killing small children? This song has a meaning that THEY intended when writing the song, and it's pretty obvious what the meaning is. Just look at the lyrics. You can't just morph the song to make it mean whatever you want it to
I dedicate this song to that one mosquito that keeps flying around and bothering me when I try to eat lunch.
You know who you are.
😂😂😂
................... Oh I get it
BWAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Jordan Shank lol
Oh, sorry about that
That Mosquito that keeps on biting you HAHAHA
What I like about Skillet is that, their songs have both meanings.
If you're not much of a Christian, you can look at the song as a bad relationship/anger song(all the lies and the stupid things you say and do)
If you are a big Christian, you can look at the song as knowing that the topic is the Devil (Poison in my veins, flooding through my veins)
It's a win/win situation!
your'e totaly right man
who cares if they're christian? Christian band or not, Skillet is fucking amazing!
I wanna see them live, I heard that they're even more amazing when they play live. My ex bestfriend (whom I no longer associate with) went to their tour when they played their album "Awake" .
, they're coming to Kansas City on March 17th. I'd bring you if I could xD
Omg you are so right xD
that is indeed SO true. and that's just what makes skillet so damn good!
The only problem is doing my homework while listening, i stop doing work and start singing along xD
Same😂
Exactly
Same!😂😂😂😂
Don't we all do that?
Lol, Same here 😂😂😂
I know that skillet is a Christian band, but even if they are, you don't have to be Christian to listen to it, they make songs so you can interpret it the way you want to, I am not a Christian but interpret the lyrics in many different ways like abuse, relationships, and other things

Thats why i love skillet so much
You and i are alike! I interpret Skillet as my relationship with my mom, who emotionally abuses me constantly.
I'm christain and I know what u mean for me this song is about drugs
Skillet is one of my favorite bands, and I'm not christian. I love their songs, and they've helped lots of people.
thats what makes skillet so popular. when i first heard about skillet i had no idea it was a christian rock band
Dude I really needed this song. I recently had a bad break-up and this reminds me of the importance of WHY the break-up happened. THANK YOU SKILLET!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
dear depression,
it's not me it's you
👌
I agree
I concur
By God, AMEN BROTHER!
Skillet said that this song is not just about either a harmful evil influence to Christians or getting out of a bad relationship, it can also be about a boss you had that was awful, a parent, anyone basically. About you basically cutting some person out of your life that was causing you harm
I've arrived at this point in my 'effen' relationship with this relentless mofo....what now....?
Exactly toxic realionships come in many forms
Sent this song to my mom because of what she put me through in my childhood. Thank you.
Couldn't this also be talking about the side of yourself that you don't like but have to live with?? The side that causes the addictions, falls to temptations, and screws up often??
Christian Sparks yeah it could be tottaly
I have bipolar disorder and I immediately related the lyrics of this song to the constant life long battle I have going on daily and how it took me a really long time to understand that I AM NOT BIPOLAR...I HAVE a bipolar disorder! It does not define who I am! Love this song!!!
Christian Sparks it is talking about that
I have ADHD. So i often overthink and sometimes become easily agitated and annoyed. So sometimes i get on the bad side of the people i told myself i would never hurt. It kills me to know that i cant really do much to stop that. So i listen to this song and point it at my ADHD and once in a while point it at the people who have wronged me and made me feel small
I didn't think of it like that. I like it.
I love this song.. it is amazing,it explains what i am feeling right now because of a "friend" i just lost,and now i just realised how much of a pain this "friend" is and how much of a friend it is,
" When a loser gets up,he forgets of those who raised him " .
Friend amazing explained or be care wiresall area eating packin looking allex,p,l,sdistaens
@@jullyscainl7623 how are things now
Look on the bright side; its NOT every one. Its 1 out of every 2. Maybe know MORE people OR nicer ones. Love & Blessings to you & your beloveds.
I sent this song to my ex and told her to imagine me singing this. She threw a book at me the next day at school. It was worth it though.
😂😂😂😂😂 #BadAss
Noah Ayers #LikeaBoss
Noah Ayers Watch out, we got a badass over here
Noah Ayers my fucking ex girlfriend is a player
ahahah lol
Gosh, this song is on point when you finally realize you’ve been living with a Narcissistic person. So this song is dedicated to the narc in my life. Let’s get this story straight, you are a poison, Is not me it’s YOU.
This song... I love it so much! Skillet has words to live by, they're so meaningful! SKILLET FOREVER!
I like it to
This is probably my favorite song on the album! Fits my life right now.
Same here
I feel you my ex girlfriend broke my hart
I understand...😒
I dedicate this song to my narcissistic ex-wife of seven years. I'm so glad to be divorced and happier now without her
amen!!!
I can currently relate.... Amen to that!
I'm glad for that bro, good that you're better without her, it happened to me the same story. She just married me to have kids and for the visa
This song has more meaning to me and my mum than nearly every other song we know...
This song is SO great and just what I need in my life right now! Thank you!!
This song sums up my feelings on today’s educational system.
Damn right 😂

On my mobile is sounds "you farted through my veins"
Anybody knows how to fix this ._. ?!
Of course now the new dubstep generation :3 xD
I prefer calling it dumbstep now :P xD

I'll just go play a fifa match :P xD
and come back when I win at least 3-0. :v
ah yeah sorry just saw your comment :P
I'm not a christian but I listen to all types of rock music :P xD as long as it's rock :P xD
I just want to say, I love the Skillets and their lyrics are beautiful! Just LOVE them.
Thanks for letting me hear a song to blast at my family😊
Одна из лучших мелодий группы, со вкусом индивидуальностью звучания и подборкой переходов с стилем, в целом захватывает
Согласен. Сильная песня.
I dedicate this to my bulliers at school who made my school time hard and cold. Today I'm finally happy, and I know that it's not me it's you!
I am looking for versions of this song to do with Sign language and yours is perfect! Thanks for posting, I know I'm an album behind on signing but this is one of my favs!!!!!
get up. its not you, its them. THEY make you sad. THEY make you angry. do not let them get the best of you. so i say this one more time. get up.
Am I the only one who came here for the music and not the for shitty break ups -.-?
Your not alone.
happy to hear that :))
no i deff came here for skillet
You have a good taste in music sir :)
Zeus ToDrinkJuice I came 4 da music 2 because music is my life...

All victims of abuse (all types) and gaslighting, please stand for your anthem.

I really regret back then not getting out of my self-hurt, self-hate shield and... love. its incredible how healty and happy is the life of some 12 y/o,s always thatsomething like that comes in my mind... i cant help but feel like crying....my dad was severely sick, still working and could die any day, my mother became a D type person some years ago, didnt care if i was a winner or not, and my a type dad, always treated me like an adult, my mother was conditioning me to hate him and believe all the bs she said about him... and one day, it hit me hard, right where it hurt and, well, my dad didnt think it affected me that much, my mother careless, i used to cry every day, frustration, regret, confusion, uncertainity, clueless, man, i cant believe i was 12 years old and feeling all that, so many bad emotions..... i wasnt over it at all when my mother then abandoned me, It took me so many effort and time to get over it, tbh my father wasnt that helpful with me until some months ago, but thanks to God, here I am, close to being complete again.
this reminds me of my parents making me feel that way they eternally scarred me thinking i should take the blame for everything
This works well for anxiety =) and all the blame that its not even you👍👍👍
I'm in this comment section cuz of a friend of mine was listening to this song. (honestly these type of songs aren't my style) but, when I first listened to it, I instantly fell in love with it. Like where have u been all my life damn..😍😂
*"Its not me its... YOU, you!!"*
ITS NOT ME ACHOO
THE_MASTER _GAMER_2.0 Sry but u just kind of forever ruined the song 4 me. : (
Now he sounds like he is sneezing. Lmao 😂
Bless you
Lol
Lol you just made my day
Wow this brought me back so many childhood memories
I could totally see my dad loving this song and singing it to my mom! Lol!😂😢
Sora Perse Fan girl yeah me too I see my dad doing the same thing
Lamo same with my dad we'd both be singing this to my mother
Honestly I could see my mom doing it lol.
I can totally relate to this song! love it! this song makes so many connections to my life with my father
How do I like a comment more than once ???
(Kidding, I know you can't, but we are just identical in our relationships with our fathers.)
nice to know I can relate to someone
Alkis Leftheriotis lol
Same thing with my stepdad, I can relate to this so easily
this could be posting in almost any light. Relationships, Abusive parent, bullies, or friends. depends on the person
when i was a kid: UGH ITS NOT ME ITS YOU ,FATHER!!
as an adult: *sigh* its not you, its me 😢
HA! To my father, a big 'screw you'! He needs to accept the consequences and realise how he has completely and utterly destroyed my life. It's his fault, not mine, and I know that now.
Thank you, Skillet.
was he *that* bad?
+Da Fekzz You have no idea. He was a monster.
+Tye Kitty Kat can you clarify?
You just described my mother there, abandoned me severely poisoned by her fault at 13, i could have died, my dad almost dying everyday too, and she took all the money,
sorry if im realy late but don't don't give up,you can still be happy in this world,
you can just have to tell yourself that everything that you experienced or that you were made to live made you stronger than those who hurt you.
This song has some of the strongest lyrics I've ever heard.... it speaks volumes
"you were a poison, you flooded through my veins, you left me broken, you tried to make me think that the blame was all on me, with the pain you put me through and now I know it's not me it's you." big screw you to the disease called addiction. lost 2 friends the past week and a half from this demon.
skillet is like the best band to listen to in early recovery ! :)
God bless you
To my English teacher, who thinks it's reasonable to assign 50 pages of the Odyssey due in two days.
XD
writing or reading 50 pages
reading 50 pages is not that hard
I also had to do a thing with the 50 pages, along with a project in the same class. On top of what my other teachers gave us. In 9th grade.
To the teachers who Told me i would never Make it
The greatest songs are the treasures you keep
everyone says that his song is about a break up, but I see it otherwise, i see it as a song about betrayal, in my example a person who claims to be a friend and does anything at any opportunity to hurt you and turn all of your friends against you. That friend makes you feel like it is your fault, but it's not true, they did this to you, they hurt you and they poison your life. guys, I'm 15 years old and this happened to me twice and I won't let it happen again, and guys watch your back and if this this happens to you fight back!
Now I feel like if this happens I should bash their face in while listening to I Am The Storm
you hit me right where it hurts
It could be interpreted as anything this could be thought of a song for former drug addicts
TheVeryBestBryant Ever yeah I literally thought this song was about heroin lol. Like it fits perfectly for people that are addicted to it and lie and do a bunch of horrible things because of it so that " it's not me it's you" thing fits perfect
M
Dear ex,
This one's for you dear
Facts😂
Meg Way ohhhhh
Nobody ever dated your anime dumbass so shut up
@@kal-elavitt7587 calm down kid

When you face so many bad things in your life because you are different, you start to feel alone and have doubts and you'll hold on to the bad things which is a lie; both Christian and sinners will judge.
My message to the broken hearted is, if you take your bad experiences from the past and look at it from a positive perspective you will find out your really not alone, Takes time and patience but just because someone is judging you, just be kind and respectful and listen because if you set your mind in the right place which doesn't happen over night you will find the answers and be happy again.
Thanks for all the people commenting the lyrics like I couldn't fucking see them in the video.
Dedicated to every narcissist that made my life a living hell. Thanks be to God for setting me free!
This song is amazing..I luved it..it gives me kicks when I feel lazy in life..skillet I luv u guys..keep rocking🤘🤘🤘🤘
I listen to this song all the time, im bullied, made fun off, Criticized in a bad way, hated on, and left out. I just wish I could live this song
I was bullied and beaten bad too I hope that it's better for you now me I never did get over it
the part "It's not me it's you, you"
sounds just like "this house is not a home, home"
from Three Days Grace's song.
ya need to get your ears checked
get your ears checked
Extremez Gamerz don't need to....your the oe tht needs to......
it does
well idc anymore can you people stop crititizing and subscribe please
I love SKILLET's songs.
this song gave me the strength to fight back to my abuse from my dad , I now know its not me its him
Same here except I actually fought back and kicked him in the nay nay's
Any legends listening to this in 2022??
I'm listening 😊
Oooooohhhhhh boy i haven't heard this song in 6 years after a bad break up. Its like stepping back in time like I was feeling. Oof.
I came here after listening to Three Days Grace's "Home". I think both songs sound alike.
Right now this song does not apply to my family or to any of my past relationships. This song is about the most annoying college textbook on the planet! It's not me, it's you!
+Cassi Ellis we have all been there
+DinoTopia Im going through that now ;(
yeah this me and my tution
Thankfully, it doesn't aply any to my parents or relationships
When you DON’T want to blame yourself for everyone’s problems! This song is a banger!
IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG!!! FUCK PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE IT
Great band! A hug from Brazil!
I
This song is dedicated to my final ex. Sorry, you may have tried to break what soul i do have telling me i was a cheater when such a horrendious thing never even came to mind, but guess what, It's not going to happen again. I may be a fool but i'm not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. Take your so called love and hit the road.
I forgot that I used to listen to this song back in the day. Its a unique feeling when you remember how fast life progresses.
basically my family is the ones i point these lyrics at
Same
Like how you layered the song out v1, chorus etc.. Never hardly see it.
I was once the "bad guy" in this song. It took someone saying that it isn't others that lie to blame it is myself. Though my case isn't the rule I still understand that sometimes these things need to be said and I thank my Friend that called me on it. I encourage everyone to take a stand for themselves and others.
This song is a mager mood
This feels more like a three days grace song...
I agree it does sound like something they would do
When looking for the song I accidentally put it as a three days grace song XD
The feeling that I get when I listen this the same as I listen "Just like you"
yes... It sounds like a Three Days Grace song...
To be honest, this band sometimes feels like Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin had a baby.
This song represents me at the perfection. I'd never been in a love relationship but i had a friend that was like a poison for me
Used this song in my special animation and matches !
I just sent this song to my brother and my sister that I moved in with and they really screwed me over taking everything from me all I had to eat on monthly was $20 so I said this is how I feel
This song was not written about any relationship. Its about drug addiction. But thats what awesome about music.... everyone can relate to it in one way or another. Its 2016.....and its still an awesome song :)
Dave Rush , mistaken it is about a bad relationship & not using drugs intravenously.
did you write the fuckin song, Tim? no you didn't. Do your research.
Quote-John Cooper mentioned in a fan interview that "It's Not Me, It's You" is his favorite song on the album because of its 'in your face' rock. He explains that it's about getting rid of a negative influence in your life, and finally realizing that it's them that is bringing you down. just so you know. Drugs, relationships, pretty much any bad influence is how he put it in the interview.
Am I the only one that's here to enjoy the music and not dedicate it to someone? Seriously people, stop it.
Me, this song is really cool
DarkSpino306 I am
Have you ever stoped to think they did it to heal?/gen
I dedicate this song to my dog that squeaks when she want attention when everyone's busy.
I know which one out of my 3 dogs you are.
Το τελειο τραγουδι για οταν χωριζεις!!
katerina kavousaki ναι ρε
to my ex gf of 3 years, "it's not me it's you!"
"Let's get the story straight
You were a poison
You flooded through my veins
You left me broken
You tried to make me think
That the blame was all on me
With the pain you put me through
And now I know that it's not me it's you!"
So this is how Sonic (if he was real) and SEGA would respond to *those* Sonic fanboys (you know who you are).
+Persian Slashuur You mean thos anti-fans, who are just 8-year-old trolls? Yep, know them...
+Hedgehog Fan14 XD Im so with u
+Persian Slashuur true but no
its not me
I love this song by Skillet 😊
I used to never understand the meaning of this song. I never knew who they were talking about. But now I know who they are talking about, from my own experiences in life.... I know that they are talking about Satan.
I think it's about the singer's relationship with his father. But it could be about Satan. Or a relationship. Or your own demons. Anything!
This song describes my relationship with my dad.
IT'S NOT ME IT'S YOU!
My brother
Reminds me of my dad. Nothing is ever his fault- its always mine. I used to believe that, and it got me really depressed. I thought that it was my fault he deserted us when I was five, because of my ADHD. Now he has 5 kids in total (including me and my brother). Only one of them he is still in contact with. The only one without a mental health condition. Screw him
What an excellent way to dump someone...
omg thats so true….
ikr
hahahaha
Dumpedsome one beaked car diverind his seeped 6o morus
For 6 years now 2021
Sorry for those who use this song as a religion reference. I do believe this is more about a breakup. Doesn't matter if Skillet is a Christian band. To know a song's meaning is more important.
It's about a devil tempting humans to do bad things. (sigh) people this days.
Ik
And John said in an interview, this is about his feelings for his father when he was a teenager because he went through an emotional abuse with his father right after his mother died of Cancer
***** I know. I feel bad for him
yeaah this it's such a great song and i agree it wasn't me , was all your fault
my brother and I' relationship simmed up in one song
brilliant song. sent to many people. but especially my dad.
Your Dad ?
Whoa whoa whoa how have I never heard this before this is going straight on my smad playlist lol
There are some people here who are obviously NOT getting this song at all. This has nothing to do with Satan. If you have never been in an abusive relationship you would never get this song. I can relate to this song. I was blamed by my ex for yrs. I would get up get bitched at go to bed get bitched at. I would get called horrible names. He beat me up several times and say well you act like it happens all the time that WAS NOT the point the point was it still happened. I realized after yrs of this it was NOT me that had the problem it was him. Thats what people like them want they want you to surrender to them they want you to have nothing. If you are in this type of relationship get out now before its to late.
Same here, FINALLY SOMEONE GET'S IT!
So.... it's not possible for the song to be saying both. I swear you people....
Kira Suzuki No, it's definitely not about Satan.
FangedFury As you are not the writer of this song it is alright to interpret it in whatever manner you please; however it is not okay to force your opinions on others. Skillet's songs are made to be interpreted in more ways one than and this is a fact that cannot be denied. So it is not fair to make such a statement. This is my only problem with your comment.
Kira Suzuki Ok, so it's alright for me assume this song is about rape and killing small children? This song has a meaning that THEY intended when writing the song, and it's pretty obvious what the meaning is. Just look at the lyrics. You can't just morph the song to make it mean whatever you want it to
I said "I don't care. So why pretend? Wake me when your lecture ends." To a guy who was trying to guilt trip me because I was listening to this song.
