    They say that every journey begins with a single step but sometimes you’re on the ground and that step seems impossible to take and that’s ok! You don’t have to push yourself too hard. If you have to start by crawling then crawl, walk, then run but don’t ever stop. You are incredible! You are powerful! You are strong! Heads up all you kings/queens your time is now! Stand in that spotlight and rock it like I know you can!

    “Because living well is the best revenge”
    That's exactly right!
    It's actually very comforting to maintain a state of being hated by others, because it makes you feel like a very miserable and pitiful person, and all you have to do is comfort yourself.
    But that's not the only way to live as a human being.
    In order to gain true strength, we need to be strong enough to use our weaknesses as weapons.
    So let's all live together today!
    With love and respect from Japan.

    I actually called my abusive grandmother and thanked her a few weeks ago. I told her "Thank you for showing me who I do not want to be." I told her that the mental and psychological abuse that she did to me made me strong enough to help others in my situation. I told her that without her I probably wouldn't have gone into my profession. The disdain she showed for my disabilities only made me want to fight harder for those with them.

      I’ve learned there are basically two types of people in this world: hurt people who hurt others and hurt people who heal others. Glad you could overcome. At first I thought this song was only about intimate relationships so nice to know I’m not alone in clinging to some of the words for other kinds of broken familial relationships.

    "Living well is the best revenge"
    This, right here. The best way to show someone that you're not weak, that you're not unwanted, unworthy, unable, is showing than that YOU ARE having the most of your life, that you are HAPPY and worthy of love.
    Some people show you the worst part os life, but you can get stronger and see the bright side you've never knew existed. I hope everyone finds your bright side, good luck to you all

    This hit really close to home. I've been held hostage in an extremelly toxic relationship. Manipulated, cheated on, lied to constantly, physically abused. I've developed quite a few psychological issues, started getting panic attacks. After I managed to break loose, I thought that I will always be a husk of a man that doesn't need nor deserve love. It started getting better, I've worked on myself and started getting better just to mess with that person, that believed she destroyed me. Now I'm happy with who I am, got a beautiful and caring wife and now my life is finally at peace. This song empowers the motivation to believe in yourself. To anyone reading this, remember - you're awesome, you're loved and you deserve all the best.

      These guys have a gift and are anointed to sing the truth in a manner the world has never heard before. To the ones who would never hear it any other way because they have already been written off as a loss by a society that made them how they are, but doesn't understand them. This is one hell of a wake up call that I hope is spread far and wide via every social media method. Because they don't see their hatred as hatred. Many have even been taught it is some sick form of "tough love". But it is time for them to see who they really are. WE make the world what it is... And living well is truly the best revenge. Because then we become the change we want to see in the world, showing others they can too.

    Honestly a bit of a decent way to go about things when it comes to betrayal. Take all that they did to you, taking it all and what they thought would break you and use it to be better. Learn, adapt, and overcome so that you can be the best you. And if you are still hurting keep in mind, you doing better then ever after what they put you through is the best way to get even.

      I know the feeling of betrayal. 2 guys I knew for 6 years turned on me in freshman year of high school, they sided with the headmaster's son who bullied me throughout the entire year. I've had to carry their barbed, rusted knives in my spine for 11 years. 11 fucking years! the very mention of their names awakens my rage and I still remember their full names and faces. I will probably hold onto that grudge forever.

    One after another I keep being surprised by how well your songs resonate with everyone's problems. Song after song I have seen the comments spill their life stories. Stories of hate, decipt, sadness, depression, betrayal... redemption... revival.
    You guys have spoken to so many souls in ways we can't explain, and I hope you continue to do so.
    All the same, I hope you guys have been doing well behind the scenes. If you need to reach out, we'll be here to listen.
    God bless this band, and everyone else leaving their stories for all to hear. Know you all have been heard.

    This song reminds me that sometimes you have to be sad and/or go through something in order to be happy or get stronger. I know I have to go through everything I’ve gone through and are going through to be able to get better. Thank you for making all the songs you’ve made! They really help me to feel like things will actually get better, they also make me feel less alone!

    Oh, I was so incredibly excited to see this drop, that I was just kind of sitting there and refreshing for a while, but when I finally got a chance to hear the entire song... goodness, how very much in love I instantly fell with this song! It's so powerful, and passionate, and I think the guitar, and the drums really compliment the story that is told through these lyrics, and how the vocals work so well. It really makes you want to go out there, and prove the world wrong about everything that it's ever said about you, and it's extremely inspiring! This song really makes me feel *strong*, and like I can do something that I believed I couldn't before!
    So, thank *you*, Citizen Solider. Thank you for inspiring me, and making me want to prove everyone wrong with what I can do! This song is a real treasure, and you hit it right out the park just as always! It's absolutely amazing, and you never fail to make me feel all of the things! ♥

    Your songs are helping me heal. I was in an abusive friendship. They convinced me to leave everything behind, these people ran over my foot and told me I was lying to them when they were the ones acting like they were gonna let me in the car and drove a few feet away and one of those times was the time they ran my foot over. There were times they made me feel alone, they had access to my Messenger so I felt I couldn't tell anyone. Every time I wanted to leave I got told that they would tell people stuff to make sure I didn't get help. It took me getting kicked out of my own car by them to walk for hours to find a job for me to realize they weren't friends
