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!
@@CitizenSoldier your music has always been a huge inspiration to me; I was at my weakest when I found your songs, and I still get tears in my eyes listening to “Would Anyone Care.” Your songs and the love coming from every comment helped build me back up. I only hope I can do the same for someone else. Thank you for doing what you do! Much love. 💜
“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.
If what you say is true, credit to you. On taking slander and molding it into fuel, for pushing through to a career, helping those who need it, and for rendering affirmation unto the inflictor.
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
Actually, yea, depends on the people, but in my country, the people are mean. If they see someone happy, especially someone they know, they do everything possible to drag him down, like gossips, rumours and the other people start to think that you are a piece of... Anyways, i recently got into the band and i already love it!
From someone who got through 10+ years of bullying (that went onto death threats and repeated sexual assault that could have been prevented as i went to speak to someone in charge of the school but who couldn't care less), I feel you. Just you breathing, being here right now despite all of the stuff people have done/said to you just show how strong you really are. Please don't stay alone in this. I didn't have the chance to have an adult who cared in my circles but if you feel like you do, try and reach out. If you need someone to talk to, I'll be there. It does get better with time if you find help and if you work to change things 💜
@@mayflyrose8195 I don't know who you are but I hope you'll receive all the love and support you need. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. Yes we are strangers and don't know each other, but let me know if you ever need a listening ear.
@@dotsolution2357 that's very kind of you, thank you so much. Fortunately the tables have turned in my favor now, so much so that i can go back to do what i love most : helping other go through tough times. I'll be there too if you need someone 💜
This song is an entire mood and something I didn’t know I needed in my life. Definitely something to blast when people that I cut out of my life try to contact me.
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.
I'm DEFINETLY gonna listen to this for months now! This song is so relatable and says all things out loud which I've never figured the right words to say myself! I graduated middleschool this spring, and in that time spawn i went through so much people who did me wrong. But now looking back, thanks to their bullying I've become a greater person while they're failing in life now. This song helps to see it. Thank you so much!
It's true unfortunately, people tend to point out others mistakes to take the spot life off themselves. Say I steal something, then I say to my brother.....I hate thieves. Not a hypocrite. I just know what I did was wrong and don't wanna admit it.
So my ex husband messaged me saying my oldest sent this to him. She’s 9 and is FINALLY standing up for herself. THANK YOU for giving her the words and the strength to finally let go of toxic people in her life!
I am so amazed by your daughter for being so strong and brave to stand up for herself, you are absolutely killing it mummy bear, never ever forget it! I am so sorry she felt this way, no child should ever be made to feel it. I am in my 30's and still wouldn't have the strength to send this to my mother, so sending a massive hug to her and you
Girl that's AMAZING!!!! She must be SO strong!! You're raising her right!!! Idk her but when I heard this I teared up in pride! You're doing great, momma!
Amen whoever is Reading this your WORTHY of Love Never get use to abuse!! Iam stronger Iam a single Mother and I love my New Found Confidence Thank you Jesus 🙏!💪
I don`t think i could ever show your songs to any of my friends or family, because your music touches a very private part of my soul that i don`t want to show anyone. But whenever i listen to your masterpieces i remember that im not alone in this fight, that there are people that know the struggle and support the effort. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.
This song makes me think about my childhood and how awful my father was, this song makes me have a slight god complex every time I listen to it. Takes that feeling of hopelessness and turns it into a sort of pride. That I survived something that could’ve completely destroyed me. Such a good find, really glad this came up in my recommendations.
I still can't understand how you produce so good music so fast. Is this even humanly possible? You can't hide it from me, you guys really are some music gods, aren't you? All jokes aside, you guys are so underrated. I love that your songs always have so much meaning. Keep up the great work!! 💜
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.
This song is on repeat for me, my ex husband damn near destroyed me, took my kids, everything. But now 20 years later, I have a career, a house, everything he stole from me. By the grace of God I have been blessed. I don't hate him, I wouldn't be as strong now if he hadn't tried to destroy me. Thank you for putting into words and an incredible song that I've been feeling for a while now. ❤
I don't know how these guys do it, but I can relate to every song they've made! Maybe they've been through a lot in their lives or maybe they just listen to people - either way, every song is true to the core for me. I love you guys! ❤️
As a kid who was bullied in highschool and realized that was all fuel for my ambitions this song feels like you took a piece of my soul and made it a song.
dude same!!!! anxiety is being a bitch to me rn, I don't even know what I I'm anxious about so Im anxious about being anxious of the unknown causing even more anxiety
"For beating me down, for messing me up, for making me feel I'm not enough" And the best revenge is living well. I can relate to this so strongly, especially as I am living well and better.
How? How do you always know the exact song I need to hear? For 18 years, my abusive, toxic, narcissistic Aunt lived with my mom, dad and me and we only got her out of our life a couple of years ago after she tried to kill my mom. I still have nightmares sometimes but your music really helps me move forward. it almost always sums up exactly how I feel about my past.
I've lived most my life dealing with a narcissistic abusive toxic brother, he seemingly lived his whole life to just push me down and always be on top. Through him I learned not to be so forgiving, I still have dreams about him and such. But I'm moving on to be the best version of myself that I can be, this band is amazing.. Some songs genuinely feel like they just read my mind and wrote a song about it.
"Because living well is the best revenge" Those hit me hard because I was going to give up after the people who hurt and hated me for no reason but, I realized that living my life in the best way I can that I'm getting my revenge by showing them that they didn't have control over me anymore.
Living well is the best revenge. Not the first time I heard this line, but true as it's ever been. Don't sink to anyone's level, rise to yours, live well, be happy, and be kind to those who suffer like you have.

"Thank you For beating me down, for messing me up For making me feel I'm not enough For running your mouth, for showing no love For setting me off like a loaded gun Thank you for making me Stronger than I thought I could ever be Thank you for hating me " That. I’m speechless. Amazing lyrics guys! Thank YOU for voicing what’s on so many people's mind.
I came across this song by accident and wow, where was this band in my life?! This is such a fantastic song, I love it so much! The lyrics themselves are just so meaningful and hit you right in the face, then there's the flow of the lyrics. I love the sound of this song, the instrumentals and the way the lyrics are sung are just, so perfect. It's kind of difficult to describe how great this is. I hear the first few seconds and I just couldn't help but listen with all my attention. I feel like this will be a song I come to when I feel down. I didn't even get to mention the visuals. The colours, typography, images and overall editing looks so nice. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Thank you for making this
I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this. It perfectly describes what I’ve been dealing with for almost a year. I’m finally healing. Citizen Soldier, you really know how to capture emotions and the inner battles that go on inside of many of us that we’re afraid to speak up to mention. I’m healing, and Thank You for Hating Me just became my new favorite song from you.
I usually can't relate to songs about abuse, because only one person ever tried, and while he made me angry, he didn't actually do much damage; but this is everything I want to tell him. At this point, I think CS could sing the phonebook and make it deep and relatable!
I really don’t know what to write other than to say that you guys are extremely underrated. Every song is perfect and we get them so often. This song almost seems to hit different than the others (in an amazing way). It’s heavy, there’s messages in there that everyone-whether you live a great life or not-needs to hear. And every song has these messages, but I feel like this one is different and idrk why. Anyway, thank you all so much for these beautiful songs 💜
Listening to this song reminds me of my bullies and enemies. But, with your confidence and your words in this song, made me have that same confidence that you have, to build myself higher. Thank you for this song! 🔥
This song came at the right time. I was just betrayed by someone I thought I could call a friend and tbh, it took that back stab to realize just how manipulative he was towards me. And now, I feel free and I feel like a fucking Queen! Thank you for the song! This one really speaks to me! You guys are awesome!
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.
My mom showed me this song and it encouraged to stay strong when I went through a really tough time I listen to this song all the time now and I even sent it to my ex friend
Wow!! I’ve loved this song ever since I heard the unfinished version on TikTok. I love the beat, the lyrics, and especially the message!! Everything about this song is phenomenal!! I can’t wait to see what your brilliant and creative mind comes up with next!!
writing a book about my recovery from years of addiction & rededicating my life to Christ. This song has been on REPORT for nearly 4 HOURS! EXACTLY the fuel I need to get this done! Much Love!
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.
I didn't think there could be a song that would force you to sing it. As soon as I heard the chorus, the whole song invaded my head. The wait was worth it? me: worth every damn second
I actually just got out of a toxic 2 Year relationship over a week ago, I listen to this, and it has given me the tools to come out alot stronger than I was. Thank you Citizen Soldier for providing these words of encouragement ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one hell of a song! Heavy, charging, as always with incredible lyrics. After a lot of songs about desperation and giving up it's sooo good to feel some pure hate for a change. Don't let anyone's hate break you, Citizen Soldier, keep up with fantastic music❤
Citizen soldier "thank you for making me stronger than I thought I could ever be" your music is getting better every time I would have never imagined such a positive song like this one about saying thanks to someone who has hurted you and take it as an experience to grow as a person, my favorite part was "because living well is the best revenge" that's a revenge you're inspiring me to do, thanks for this great piece💛
To everyone that is reading this, We will show those people that hated us that we are truly loved and we are truly worth so much then they think. We go get our revenge by living our best life, You guys truly helped me so much by staying strong and helped so many others feel there worth and WE are worth so much to everyone reading this and we are loved, even if you don't know me you are loved by me because I know how being hated on feels.
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!
I shared this song with my best friend, because this song reminded me of her story, and with what she's going through lately. And she told me she loved it! Please keep making songs like this, they are amazing, and make me and so many people feel more understood
When you're taken advantage of, chastised, harassed, and bullied you learn to not care anymore, it gets to the point where it's a comic relief when people hate you, it only fuels your desire to rise above them and show them who is stronger.
Thank you for this song. It's such a good reminder that we can triumph over our abusers. So for all the people who hurt me and tore me down, thanks for making me stronger. I won't be miserable, toxic, cowardly, and as heartless as they were to me. I may never get closure, but I'll take the victory in knowing I will be a better person than they ever will be. And live the happy life they never thought I could have.
Every lyrics that is sang in this song what is exactly the trauma I’ve dealt with in the last few months and I couldn’t be I’m happy to hear this song. Thank you for empowering and motivating me. “Living well is the best revenge”
For someone who's been bullied and felt like I was worthless and nothing all my life this song really gives me the motivation to keep pushing forward with my life.
Yes just yes this song just perfectly describes how you should use the hate others throw against you everytime you get beaten down can be used to grow stronger as long as you stand back up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! I have been gone for some time but this song brought me right back here life is pretty hard right now and there are many things and also people that are trying to beat me down so I was pretty thankful to hear something like this again. Much love from Germany 🖤
You have no idea how much I relate to this song. I was diagnosed with autism when I was four, and so many people told me and my mom that I would never accomplish anything, and I would be worthless. But now, I'm 21, I have my GED, I'm working on getting my first book published, working two jobs (technically three with the book), I'm riding the bus too and from work, and now, I'm working on getting my endowment and going on my mission. When I heard this song, I could just picture myself walking down a street with a huge smile on my face with this song playing, and everyone who ever doubted me, in complete shock. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite songs!! Thank you!!
Dear Citizen Soldier, Thank you for creating this song. This song is real in my life. Always love and appreciation for you. One thing, I will surely do in future which is enjoying your live concert. Nahar, Bangladesh.
WOW! I’m never not amazed by your music, there’s isn’t a single song that doesn’t speak to me, but this one really hit home. Your music has really made me feel less alone, and no words can describe how thankful I am for all of you.
Coming from experience of getting pushed down and beaten by others both mentally and physically all the way up to high school this is one of those songs that keep me from making a decision that I would never be able to take back. Me and my sister are both survivors of suicide and it's hard to imagine what those that loved us would've thought if we died. So from the bottom of my heart I thank you for creating another wonderful song that's saved both me and my sisters lives.
Me to I also started my senior year of high school and this chapter has been the worst of my life due to my mom and my ex from 6th grade and my inner demons made making my life a living hell but I am stronger than them but I fell so weak mentally but my freinds breathe life and hope back into to keep on fighting for my survival. There is this girl in my freind group I have a crush on and I want to ask her out since she was the becon of light and hope when I was at my lowest and darkest times but I am scared on how she will react 😔.
Amazing! This song hit me a different way, knowing how much I hated myself a while ago, now becoming more happy as I work on myself and make myself stronger each day. I'm really thankful for not accepting myself when I was at my lowest. Your songs has always helped keep me motivated and I know I'm not alone, so keep it up! Having a new song from you guys always makes my week a lot better! 💜
This song is EXACTLY like current me talking to my self 10 months ago when I was depressed and suicidal. After all the shit I went through all alone because I didn't know how to talk to not even to my parents, i got trough it and now I'm looking back to that time. This song will always remind me of how strong i can be.
I dont know how you guys do it, but all of your songs have hit some of the deepest parts of me. I love how deep the lyrics are and how strong of a connection you guys have with what you create. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for you guys and the music you put out. Thank you.
After 7 years with someone that beat me down everyday, when I heard this I played it on repeat for like two weeks. I finally snapped & left. Something about this song really just made something click for me. Found the band a while ago & all their songs are bangers and relatable but I lost myself so long ago but I’m finding me again, & I thank you for this song.
"Living well is the best revenge" YEEEEEES! EXACTLY! Everything in this song is so true! It is going into my favorites, and ISN'T. EVER. COMING. OUT! 💖
this has made me feel better about my situation, I live on a reservation in Montana, and there's a fire behind my house about 5 miles away, and 2 other ones around the town, another town already evacuated, and my family and I are doing our best to hold up, and the lights turned off, but recently can back on today, your guys' music lives my spirits when I'm down, thank you for all that you do.
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! ♥
I found these songs when I was at my lowest and they have encouraged me to find help and get out of the same rut I have been in for years. When I was diagnosed with diabetes “I’m not okay” was the song that made me accept the fact that it’s okay to not be okay
I've got school starting back up again in 3 days and I'm very anxious and nervous because of it. I've came upon a song of your awhile back but only recently decided to check out your band, this past year and and as of now your music has been one of the biggest lifesaver for me. So thank you so much for helping me throughout my summer school and for helping me later on in the future though school. I hope you have a nice day, amazing life and to continue to have fun making these life saving songs!!!
Man I love songs that are so relatable and have so much emotion in it. Suffering with depression sucks but I'm starting to kick it's butt, I still have a lot of downfalls but I'm able to get through them easier. Love your music! Keep on keeping on my dude.
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!
Love this!
@@CitizenSoldier your music has always been a huge inspiration to me; I was at my weakest when I found your songs, and I still get tears in my eyes listening to “Would Anyone Care.” Your songs and the love coming from every comment helped build me back up.

AMEN!!!!
Amen on that
AMEN ON THAT!!!
“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.
Well said 💜
Thank you
Super true
This is quote worthy!
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.

That's your doing, not hers
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.

"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.

Exactly
This band is literally doing God's work every time they release a song. Constantly helping me through dark days
This song is an entire mood and something I didn’t know I needed in my life. Definitely something to blast when people that I cut out of my life try to contact me.
Awesome 💜💜💜
Yes so true
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.

So true! I am just out from this kind of relationship, coz my ex dumped me. i am happy but i am really heartbroken..
same
At least you could fully get out of relationship and no attachment. Whatever congrats tammie
Thanks Tony Whistler
“Left out” Is another song you could probably relate to
Thank you guys so much for being a band who guides people through tuff times.
Appreciate you 💜
They really help with their music

Can definitely relate. Keep pushing forward, you got a lot ahead of you
“You criticize other people to hid you hate your self” dang hurts so much of these lyrics really hit your hearts emotions
It's true unfortunately, people tend to point out others mistakes to take the spot life off themselves. Say I steal something, then I say to my brother.....I hate thieves. Not a hypocrite. I just know what I did was wrong and don't wanna admit it.
"Living well is the best revenge" what an absolutly strong message 🔥🔥❤❤💪💪
So my ex husband messaged me saying my oldest sent this to him. She’s 9 and is FINALLY standing up for herself. THANK YOU for giving her the words and the strength to finally let go of toxic people in her life!
I am so amazed by your daughter for being so strong and brave to stand up for herself, you are absolutely killing it mummy bear, never ever forget it! I am so sorry she felt this way, no child should ever be made to feel it. I am in my 30's and still wouldn't have the strength to send this to my mother, so sending a massive hug to her and you
Girl that's AMAZING!!!! She must be SO strong!! You're raising her right!!! Idk her but when I heard this I teared up in pride! You're doing great, momma!
Am 14 and depressed and stronger than ever
Yeah that's called rape I been raped by own dad and family. I knew it they turned me into a weapon.
@@alyssadenlinger7107 exact same right here.
Amen whoever is Reading this your WORTHY of Love Never get use to abuse!! Iam stronger Iam a single Mother and I love my New Found Confidence Thank you Jesus 🙏!💪
"Scars make you stronger", this song reflects on it, physically and mentally.
True 💜
💞💞💞💞
i've never heard so many songs by a single band that hit so close to home. Another masterpiece! gotta get this album!
Hello I'am A Dragon Ball Fan Too :)
“Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be” because it gives the confidence not to quit or give up the fight
I don`t think i could ever show your songs to any of my friends or family, because your music touches a very private part of my soul that i don`t want to show anyone. But whenever i listen to your masterpieces i remember that im not alone in this fight, that there are people that know the struggle and support the effort. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.
💜!
LET'S GOOOO!! THIS GONNA BE ANOTHER BANGER ADDED TO MY SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!!
Awesome 💜
Same here 🎧⚡✨

This song makes me think about my childhood and how awful my father was, this song makes me have a slight god complex every time I listen to it. Takes that feeling of hopelessness and turns it into a sort of pride. That I survived something that could’ve completely destroyed me. Such a good find, really glad this came up in my recommendations.
I still can't understand how you produce so good music so fast. Is this even humanly possible? You can't hide it from me, you guys really are some music gods, aren't you?
All jokes aside, you guys are so underrated. I love that your songs always have so much meaning. Keep up the great work!! 💜
They're totally music gods
Appreciate you Alexa 💜 You guys are the best fans
@@CitizenSoldier thank you!! 😭💜 we appreciate you so much, you guys really are one of the best, if not the best rock band out there 💜
Caleb and
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.
Well said 💜
This song is on repeat for me, my ex husband damn near destroyed me, took my kids, everything. But now 20 years later, I have a career, a house, everything he stole from me. By the grace of God I have been blessed. I don't hate him, I wouldn't be as strong now if he hadn't tried to destroy me. Thank you for putting into words and an incredible song that I've been feeling for a while now. ❤
Oh my god, i was suffering for the university, but this bring me all the energy to continue with my works and studies
Awesome 💜
I don't know how these guys do it, but I can relate to every song they've made! Maybe they've been through a lot in their lives or maybe they just listen to people - either way, every song is true to the core for me.
I love you guys! ❤️
Glad to hear that 💜
As a kid who was bullied in highschool and realized that was all fuel for my ambitions this song feels like you took a piece of my soul and made it a song.
It’s 1 am here and I instantly saw this and listening. Absolute BANGER and so worth it! 💕💕🥰🥰
You’re the best 💜
Same
12 am here
Same, amazing 👏 song 🎵
dude same!!!! anxiety is being a bitch to me rn, I don't even know what I I'm anxious about so Im anxious about being anxious of the unknown causing even more anxiety
I counted every day for this song
¡EPIC!💜💜💜💜
💜💜💜
@@CitizenSoldier ❤
Me too! I saw the Tiktok and loved the song instantly!
Agreed! I saw this and went, “FINALLY!!!” I so wanted song published, and as always, Citizen Soldier delivers again.
@@christopherkingsley3852 YES!!
"For beating me down, for messing me up, for making me feel I'm not enough" And the best revenge is living well. I can relate to this so strongly, especially as I am living well and better.
How? How do you always know the exact song I need to hear? For 18 years, my abusive, toxic, narcissistic Aunt lived with my mom, dad and me and we only got her out of our life a couple of years ago after she tried to kill my mom. I still have nightmares sometimes but your music really helps me move forward. it almost always sums up exactly how I feel about my past.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Glad that time is over though and i hope you are all safe. 💜
I've lived most my life dealing with a narcissistic abusive toxic brother, he seemingly lived his whole life to just push me down and always be on top. Through him I learned not to be so forgiving, I still have dreams about him and such. But I'm moving on to be the best version of myself that I can be, this band is amazing.. Some songs genuinely feel like they just read my mind and wrote a song about it.
"Because living well is the best revenge"
Those hit me hard because I was going to give up after the people who hurt and hated me for no reason but, I realized that living my life in the best way I can that I'm getting my revenge by showing them that they didn't have control over me anymore.
Same here! We are strong we will get our revenge on those that hated us by living the best life we can possibly have.
Living well is the best revenge.
Not the first time I heard this line, but true as it's ever been. Don't sink to anyone's level, rise to yours, live well, be happy, and be kind to those who suffer like you have.

This was one of my favourite unreleased songs on your TikTok. I'm so glad that it's now out. Keep up the awesome work❤
I can't believe that you were able to make it sound even better than on TikTok. It was a masterpiece already and you somehow made it even better
Thank you so much for putting into music what’s in mind body and soul! 💜💜💜💜
Love this song been waiting for it ever since I heard that clip!!! Awesome lyrics!!
"Thank you
For beating me down, for messing me up
For making me feel I'm not enough
For running your mouth, for showing no love
For setting me off like a loaded gun
Thank you for making me
Stronger than I thought I could ever be
Thank you for hating me
"
That. I’m speechless. Amazing lyrics guys!
Thank YOU for voicing what’s on so many people's mind.
Let's rock it my friend 🤘
I came across this song by accident and wow, where was this band in my life?! This is such a fantastic song, I love it so much! The lyrics themselves are just so meaningful and hit you right in the face, then there's the flow of the lyrics. I love the sound of this song, the instrumentals and the way the lyrics are sung are just, so perfect. It's kind of difficult to describe how great this is. I hear the first few seconds and I just couldn't help but listen with all my attention. I feel like this will be a song I come to when I feel down.
I didn't even get to mention the visuals. The colours, typography, images and overall editing looks so nice. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Thank you for making this
i feel like a lot of us had that feeling when we heard our first CS song. "Wait, why am i just now hearing this?!?!?!"
Best accident ever!
I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this. It perfectly describes what I’ve been dealing with for almost a year. I’m finally healing. Citizen Soldier, you really know how to capture emotions and the inner battles that go on inside of many of us that we’re afraid to speak up to mention. I’m healing, and Thank You for Hating Me just became my new favorite song from you.
Love this 💜
Even better than I suspected and I'm not even halfway through. This is amazing, yet again!
Appreciate you 💜
I usually can't relate to songs about abuse, because only one person ever tried, and while he made me angry, he didn't actually do much damage; but this is everything I want to tell him. At this point, I think CS could sing the phonebook and make it deep and relatable!
Is it just me by starting at 0:18 doesn’t the background beat sound like a song from a video game
"I'm moving on, I'm on the mend
Because living well is the best revenge." Wow!! That's very strong!! 💜💜💜 I love it! And I love this song!
I really don’t know what to write other than to say that you guys are extremely underrated. Every song is perfect and we get them so often. This song almost seems to hit different than the others (in an amazing way). It’s heavy, there’s messages in there that everyone-whether you live a great life or not-needs to hear. And every song has these messages, but I feel like this one is different and idrk why. Anyway, thank you all so much for these beautiful songs 💜

We ,,
Listening to this song reminds me of my bullies and enemies. But, with your confidence and your words in this song, made me have that same confidence that you have, to build myself higher. Thank you for this song! 🔥
This song came at the right time. I was just betrayed by someone I thought I could call a friend and tbh, it took that back stab to realize just how manipulative he was towards me. And now, I feel free and I feel like a fucking Queen! Thank you for the song! This one really speaks to me! You guys are awesome!
Thank you 💜
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.
@@ironicmedic3912 my bestfriend I've known for 6years said Nigga I'm Happy Without You In my life ik the feeling
This is going to be streamed on repeat thank you for everything you guys do
Thank 💜
My mom showed me this song and it encouraged to stay strong when I went through a really tough time I listen to this song all the time now and I even sent it to my ex friend
Mindy?
Wow!! I’ve loved this song ever since I heard the unfinished version on TikTok. I love the beat, the lyrics, and especially the message!! Everything about this song is phenomenal!! I can’t wait to see what your brilliant and creative mind comes up with next!!
Thank you so much 💜
Same
Such an amazing song can’t wait for the next hopefully bedroom ceiling
Thanks friend 💜
Oh me too hope its next
I want that song to be release SO bad too!
writing a book about my recovery from years of addiction & rededicating my life to Christ. This song has been on REPORT for nearly 4 HOURS! EXACTLY the fuel I need to get this done! Much Love!
beautiful 👍
Thanks 💜
@@CitizenSoldier great music
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 just finds you when you need it most without you even realizing it... 3 years later, thank you citizen soldier.
Love all your songs, been listening to them a lot everyday and I fell I love instantly. This song is amazing! ❤❤❤ lots of love from Mexico! ❤ 🇲🇽
Thank you 💜
I didn't think there could be a song that would force you to sing it. As soon as I heard the chorus, the whole song invaded my head.
The wait was worth it?
me: worth every damn second
I'm hearing this song for the first time right now and the lyrics hit so hard. I love it!!
I actually just got out of a toxic 2 Year relationship over a week ago, I listen to this, and it has given me the tools to come out alot stronger than I was. Thank you Citizen Soldier for providing these words of encouragement ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one hell of a song! Heavy, charging, as always with incredible lyrics. After a lot of songs about desperation and giving up it's sooo good to feel some pure hate for a change. Don't let anyone's hate break you, Citizen Soldier, keep up with fantastic music❤
Will do thanks 💜
I feel this song can be interpreted as someone talking to others or themself. Cause sometime proving your self hate wrong can make you stronger
Citizen soldier "thank you for making me stronger than I thought I could ever be" your music is getting better every time I would have never imagined such a positive song like this one about saying thanks to someone who has hurted you and take it as an experience to grow as a person, my favorite part was "because living well is the best revenge" that's a revenge you're inspiring me to do, thanks for this great piece💛
Another amazing song
Seriously this song and every release have been amazing; and the lyric videos have been amazing too, you guys keep it up
Will do 💜
To everyone that is reading this, We will show those people that hated us that we are truly loved and we are truly worth so much then they think. We go get our revenge by living our best life, You guys truly helped me so much by staying strong and helped so many others feel there worth and WE are worth so much to everyone reading this and we are loved, even if you don't know me you are loved by me because I know how being hated on feels.
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!
This song hits hard, I face with hate from my family because of my weight, but that hate is the best motivation to change myself
Whilst they shouldn't hate you for it, being obese is dangerous, and should be discouraged. However, being to thin is a problem too...
If you imagine the opposing person is depression this song really hits you!
That's a great perspective, thank you!
I shared this song with my best friend, because this song reminded me of her story, and with what she's going through lately. And she told me she loved it!
Please keep making songs like this, they are amazing, and make me and so many people feel more understood
When you're taken advantage of, chastised, harassed, and bullied you learn to not care anymore, it gets to the point where it's a comic relief when people hate you, it only fuels your desire to rise above them and show them who is stronger.
Thank you for this song. It's such a good reminder that we can triumph over our abusers.
So for all the people who hurt me and tore me down, thanks for making me stronger. I won't be miserable, toxic, cowardly, and as heartless as they were to me. I may never get closure, but I'll take the victory in knowing I will be a better person than they ever will be. And live the happy life they never thought I could have.
Every lyrics that is sang in this song what is exactly the trauma I’ve dealt with in the last few months and I couldn’t be I’m happy to hear this song. Thank you for empowering and motivating me. “Living well is the best revenge”
I been listening to you for about 2 years now , I was recently diagnosed with C-PTSD and this hits HARD . I love all your songs
For someone who's been bullied and felt like I was worthless and nothing all my life this song really gives me the motivation to keep pushing forward with my life.
Listened to this a dozen times on Spotify already! It is amazing!
Thanks friend 💜
Yes just yes this song just perfectly describes how you should use the hate others throw against you everytime you get beaten down can be used to grow stronger as long as you stand back up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! I have been gone for some time but this song brought me right back here life is pretty hard right now and there are many things and also people that are trying to beat me down so I was pretty thankful to hear something like this again.
Much love from Germany 🖤
You have no idea how much I relate to this song. I was diagnosed with autism when I was four, and so many people told me and my mom that I would never accomplish anything, and I would be worthless. But now, I'm 21, I have my GED, I'm working on getting my first book published, working two jobs (technically three with the book), I'm riding the bus too and from work, and now, I'm working on getting my endowment and going on my mission. When I heard this song, I could just picture myself walking down a street with a huge smile on my face with this song playing, and everyone who ever doubted me, in complete shock. This is definitely going to be one of my favorite songs!! Thank you!!
Dear Citizen Soldier,
Thank you for creating this song. This song is real in my life. Always love and appreciation for you. One thing, I will surely do in future which is enjoying your live concert.
Nahar,
Bangladesh.
I’ve never felt my strength like this before hearing this. I feel myself again with this
WOW! I’m never not amazed by your music, there’s isn’t a single song that doesn’t speak to me, but this one really hit home.
Your music has really made me feel less alone, and no words can describe how thankful I am for all of you.
Coming from experience of getting pushed down and beaten by others both mentally and physically all the way up to high school this is one of those songs that keep me from making a decision that I would never be able to take back. Me and my sister are both survivors of suicide and it's hard to imagine what those that loved us would've thought if we died.
So from the bottom of my heart I thank you for creating another wonderful song that's saved both me and my sisters lives.
Love the music been listening to it non stop
Thanks friend 💜
Started my senior year of highschool Wednesday, the day this was released. What an awesome start to the last year of the worst chapter of my life.
Me to I also started my senior year of high school and this chapter has been the worst of my life due to my mom and my ex from 6th grade and my inner demons made making my life a living hell but I am stronger than them but I fell so weak mentally but my freinds breathe life and hope back into to keep on fighting for my survival. There is this girl in my freind group I have a crush on and I want to ask her out since she was the becon of light and hope when I was at my lowest and darkest times but I am scared on how she will react 😔.
@@charlesleonard7734 If you haven't yet, fuckin go for it. Do it now, or regret it forever and waste thoughts on "what could've been" in a few years.
Amazing! This song hit me a different way, knowing how much I hated myself a while ago, now becoming more happy as I work on myself and make myself stronger each day. I'm really thankful for not accepting myself when I was at my lowest. Your songs has always helped keep me motivated and I know I'm not alone, so keep it up! Having a new song from you guys always makes my week a lot better! 💜
This song is EXACTLY like current me talking to my self 10 months ago when I was depressed and suicidal. After all the shit I went through all alone because I didn't know how to talk to not even to my parents, i got trough it and now I'm looking back to that time. This song will always remind me of how strong i can be.
same here you're not alone
Same here, remember if anyone tries to bring you down show them you are powerful and great, don’t ever let anyone bring you down
I dont know how you guys do it, but all of your songs have hit some of the deepest parts of me. I love how deep the lyrics are and how strong of a connection you guys have with what you create. I can't even begin to describe how grateful I am for you guys and the music you put out. Thank you.
Yesss i waited for this all day !!!!
💜💜💜
Me too!!
@@CitizenSoldier I'm guessing Jake's favorite animal is a cobra?
I feel like everyone kinda has that 1 person in mind when listening to this absolute banger
After 7 years with someone that beat me down everyday, when I heard this I played it on repeat for like two weeks. I finally snapped & left. Something about this song really just made something click for me. Found the band a while ago & all their songs are bangers and relatable but I lost myself so long ago but I’m finding me again, & I thank you for this song.
"Living well is the best revenge" YEEEEEES! EXACTLY! Everything in this song is so true! It is going into my favorites, and ISN'T. EVER. COMING. OUT! 💖
It's amazing how much a broken heart can change you 💔💔💔
St Sebastian is the saint of those with resilience and those who push through the challenges and pain. Never give up.
this has made me feel better about my situation, I live on a reservation in Montana, and there's a fire behind my house about 5 miles away, and 2 other ones around the town, another town already evacuated, and my family and I are doing our best to hold up, and the lights turned off, but recently can back on today, your guys' music lives my spirits when I'm down, thank you for all that you do.
Probably the most aggressive song I've heard from you guys and it's definitely a banger! Love the lyrics!
💪🏻💜
I saw you at concert with my mom and little brother in Baltimore. I have saved my life 47 times now. Thank you so much!
Finally a song that represents my life in a nutshell
💜💜💜💜💜💜

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! ♥
This made my night. Thank you 💜
How are you
I haven't gotten chills from a song in one time. Citizen Soldier really knows how to be the therapy we need
Yooo this slaps HARD BRO!!! I need this album at 100 all day!!
💪🏻💜
Another great hit form Citizen Soldier! I just can't get enough of your music!
P.s 1:27 to 2:16 is my favorite part!
When this resonates when you’re healing from it all, you know you’ve cracked it and on the home run 🙌
The song is fire as usual, shout out to all the haters for making people stronger 🤟
I found these songs when I was at my lowest and they have encouraged me to find help and get out of the same rut I have been in for years. When I was diagnosed with diabetes “I’m not okay” was the song that made me accept the fact that it’s okay to not be okay
I've got school starting back up again in 3 days and I'm very anxious and nervous because of it. I've came upon a song of your awhile back but only recently decided to check out your band, this past year and and as of now your music has been one of the biggest lifesaver for me. So thank you so much for helping me throughout my summer school and for helping me later on in the future though school. I hope you have a nice day, amazing life and to continue to have fun making these life saving songs!!!
Man I love songs that are so relatable and have so much emotion in it. Suffering with depression sucks but I'm starting to kick it's butt, I still have a lot of downfalls but I'm able to get through them easier. Love your music! Keep on keeping on my dude.
