I have been cutting and feeling really depressed and suicidal and listening to a bunch of pro-suicidal songs, like slit my wrist and last resort and suicide solution, things like that... But then i saw this song in the suggestion box and clicked on it and it really made me start thinking about stuff more clearly God works in cool ways huh :)
I like how this song is so straight forward, as opposed to using a lot of metaphors and hidden meanings like they do in their other songs (not that I have a problem with that, I just like how this song is different)
Exactly! I have that same relationship, my best friend is an Atheist and I'm Roman Catholic and we get along just fine. It doesn't change how much I love her like a sister. Sometimes I'm frightened and sometimes she worries about me. Just different views but that doesn't mean we can't have other things in common. It isn't like she's an alien or something, she's still human
I felt a lot like this once. But I found God's love too. This song is so inspiring because it shows that the love of God really can change your heart in a good way. He's always there for you and never forget it. :)
I was trying to lose my voice so I was sing a lot of my favorite songs, by the time I got to this song my voice was shaky and scratchy but when I sang "there's still so much to know"I swear my voice was crystal clear
its unreal how much this song relates to me. I know a lot of people say that about songs but this song is..wow...I was so shocked about it that I watched this video about 10 times before crying.
It is kind of stupid arguing religion on a christian song. I'm an atheist but i realize it makes little sense going to random christian youtube videos simply to cause a commotion. I just like this song, back in my christian days i listened to a lot of Flyleaf, it's one of the few things that crossed over into my current life. Plus the bass part is super fun to play!
Last year, my best friend was an Atheist, lol, and I've been a Christian for a long time. Now, she's a bigger believer than I am. Talking about going to school to be a pastor in the fall! I think everyone has their doubtful moments, I think that's part of believing in something.
In July I was up for over a month, seriously, and was so sick I coukdnt walk, . I didn't believe in ANYTHING.. I had a not near death but DEATH experience, my hands were to my sides, they came together, tip of each finger, forming what were prayer hands, I was in Heaven, HUGE white gate, enormous orchestra and above it were thousands of angels, I was face to face with Jesus, we said the "our father" together, his voice was like the most beautiful music, I never wanted him to stop talking, if your body could smile, it felt like elation, I've never felt peace before, tears streamed down my cheeks.. I was then told by the angels "in the garden" my mother died last year and I was trying to get to her, her passion was gardening... I was then put jnfront of HUGE red letters the size of buildings that said REBORN... I asked Jesus why didn't I get to see her in the garden?? It felt like an eternity standing there asking Why?? Then claw like hands pulled me down, I was burning alive, the screaming was unreal, the thunder burst my eardrums, I called it purgatory... if my sister hadnt found me in full seizures mode from the THUMP when I hit the floor and found me i would still be in Hell now... I was brought back at the hospital... life as I knew it is over... all i ask is believe, if I did, with my whole heart I would be with my mom, in the garden... I was like so many out there, believed in nothing.. BELIEVE with your heart, that's all it takes....
Because wherever there is a difference, there is tension. Unfortunately thats how people just seem to work. Really they should just enjoy the good music
I agree! There's absolutely No "cure" for depression; and it's not tangable. So strangers and/or close one's think it's no big deal. But their not inside; they don't feel the dread of pain and just feeling uncomfortable. So the only thing we know is to end it. It's So Sad! Even worst that "mental health" is still So misunderstood.
1st- great song 2nd- why so much hate going on, my gosh who cares what ppl believe in we are still all humans who have many things in common let's not be jerks...
I'm a christian and my best friend is an athiest.. I respect her decision. I worry about her, but I don't try to change her, because she doesn't try to change me
@katarax8 THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT! GEEZ! it is like, come on ppl. just grow up. just because ppl dont believe in god doesnt mean tht they r going to hell. just shut up and injoy the music!
Hey. I have an idea. Lets stop dissing each other. Its not worth dissing others because it will not change there beliefs. Every person is most likely here to listen to this this music. So just stop hating!!
I can't believe she married someone from one of the bands I used to see in college all the time ... josh sturm of kairos ... small world who knew they even rolled in the same circles
I finally realize the meaning behind the lyrics. "I was truly thinking of how I might quit waking up" Meaning thinking that you may die in your sleep one day/you're going to die one day and how painful of a thought it is. "Feels so much like falling Dying while I wait to die" You're basically slowly getting weaker until you pass. "The fear of something or nothing, only empty lie" Talks about the fear of not knowing what the other side will truly be. Whether it's nothing or heaven/hell. "Aware of our destination, far away from here" We're aware that one day we pass but it won't come for a long time.
Actually it's the opposite. Lacey probably wrote this song but I'm not positive. She was not afraid to die because wanted to so then she was going to kill herself. But God saved her from doing it and she turned her life around 180 degrees.
That's total opposite of what I got from this. She literally says "he says how selfish it would be to kill myself " whe she says "quit waking up" its because she done with life. When she shes slowly dying while waiting to die....shes dying inside while waiting for her time to die
Religion isn't about following a bunch of rules its about having a relationship with God. And you're right, Christians have no right to be judging you, that's God's job. Nobody should be pointing their fingers at you and calling you a sinner, that's wrong and it has clouded your views on other christians. Just because people believe in God doesn't make them better than anyone.

Dude, seriously? Try and see it through their eyes. They are in SO much pain that they are willing to take their life and it so that they can be happy. Life, may I remind you is the only thing that we are completely sure exists (not saying there isn't an afterlife) and is something you can never return to after you leave it. (unless your heart stops and somehow someone restarts it or something of that nature)
@NovemberCanSmile But we can help them. We can be a friend to them, come alongside them, and help them work through their pain and find the strength to go on. To keep living. To perhaps do great things with their life and touch the lives of others in turn. They can't do that if they're dead. Yes, it hurts. /Life/ hurts. That's how we grow. I've gone through tough times - and I'm going through one now, in fact. But suicide is not the answer. It is /an/ answer, but not a good one.
"He pointed out how selfish it would be to kill myself" Thats what my best freind said after i attempted and now this song means so much to me. He moved on but at least i know someone cared once. and its not selfish anymore.
@pinkydenky I love this! Thank you! Is all I can possibly say. I'm to the point where I wish some people would die or me and when I try to tell my moms she seems like Im jokingg. When Im seriouss.
@ccchat8 Well I think we all have different point of views on it probably. And I guess I can see your point but I think it also has to do with how much pain that person has inside them and why they want to i think it makes it unselfish...but alright =]
I hate it when Christians point the finger and say that atheists are sinners and will go to hell. We don't follow your rules, so it isn't a sin. We don't believe in God, we're not going to go to hell. You have no right to to judge how others live their lives. Also I'm agnostic and flyleaf is my favourite band EVER. Shushy your mushies.
@xJohnnyWorsnopx you do know that Lacey was stopped from commiting suicide right ? And it's a bit harsh to say you're a coward, people are so much in pain sometimes that they just want it to end, is that really not understandable ?
The thing that people just dont get is that sooo many people spend sooo much time on what they think God and the church wants them to do, that they hurt other people in the process. They damn or bless people based on WHAT A BOOK TELLS THEM. Its fine for someone to live THEIR life like that, but when it spills over to other people is where i got a problem.....I'm not even sure why i'm still talking about this. I was just listening to good music and got caught up by stupidity...
@tashaandmeg u are wanted u just dont feel it believe me i usedf to feel the same way until i woke up for the nightmare i was going through..remember nightmares arent forever..u can wake up whenever u want to...=)
This song describes what I'm going through so much. "He pointed out how selfish it would be to kill myself" Was the line that hit me hardest. My friend pointed out that same exact thing...
When my best friend found out about my suicide attempts he told me I was selfish and that his life would be hell without me an he would kill himself that made me stop I hope ppl realize there are reasons to live and ppl do care about you I know I do
@TheMusicisinthesoul Your experience didn't seem to give you any sympathy for those in similar - or sometimes much worse - situations to yourself. If you think someone is selfish and cowardice to commit suicide then you must first ask yourself, "How bad could their life me?" I need not have to tell you many people are abused, sexually assulted, attacked, bullied, teased, etc. Sure these reasons aren't valid enough to end your life, but it's not fair to call them selfish.
@jiggiemonkie I am not going to Hell just because I dont agree with what the church says about Jesus and God. I dont even believe that "God" can be defined by humans. I think what i want, i worship who i want, I love who i want and judge people based on what I believe is right and wrong, not by what christians say God thinks. And if you or anyone else damns my soul for that, then so be it. Trust me, its worth it.
You say that God has a plan for everyone and that taking your life is ruining it. Thats a bunch of b.s. and you know it. If this God had a plan for someone, why didn't he help them when they needed it most? It seems to me that if someones life is so horrible that they are driven to suicide, anyway of making it stop is a blessing. Some people really would rather die than keep living the hell you call a life and if "God" tries to stop them, then he's being cruel.
god can not live youre life for you, and it is how u live youre own life tht determines if u will live forever after you pass on to the next one... and the reason why killing your self is not bs is because you are killing somthing tht does not belong too you...your body is a temple of god..which belongs to god.. you only own your soul...and by taking somthing tht does not belong to you..does not get you eternal life after this one.

This comment is eight years old. I hope you are ok and doing well remember you are not alone. If you see this comment please tell me how you are doing
God's work is helping us all through these times ❤️🔥
One of my favorite songs by Flyleaf.
I’m mad this isn’t on Spotify
Jasmine ik right!? Wtf
Ify i need to go to yt just to listen to this😅
Do you like this song?
Me: yes
Spotify: well fuck u then
It is as of this week.
I love this song and it’s message about Jesus’ love 💕 To anyone who doesn’t know Jesus, He loves you so much and wants you to know His love
😮💨 the head banging is serious with this number 🤘🏾
❤️🔥👍❤️🔥
I like how this song is so straight forward, as opposed to using a lot of metaphors and hidden meanings like they do in their other songs (not that I have a problem with that, I just like how this song is different)
me too for sure ❤️🔥👍❤️🔥 not many people bear their soul saying how they truly feel...it's an extremely unique song.

That Bass. I gives me the chills *-*. It's Sooooo Lovely
yes. then she found the love of God and His plan for her life and continued with His joy and passion:)
I felt a lot like this once. But I found God's love too. This song is so inspiring because it shows that the love of God really can change your heart in a good way. He's always there for you and never forget it. :)
There's something wrong with this song video........I can't stop hitting the replay button!

FINALLY ON SPOTIFY!!!! 🤍
This explains how i truly feel.... He pointed out how selfish it would be to kill myself .... so i keep waking up.
This song truly saved me.
Eargasm at 1:21! She is an amazing singer
its unreal how much this song relates to me. I know a lot of people say that about songs but this song is..wow...I was so shocked about it that I watched this video about 10 times before crying.

love this song!!! i can easily relate to it
I went through the exact same thing once too, its oddly comforting to know I'm not the only one :)
Never heard this song before, but I like it. I wonder if this pertains to her story or if it was for someone else.
Joshua Strickland she was going to kill herself but that same day God saved her
yesenia tapia yeah, I have heard the story. very inspiring.

I overdosed, do not attempt suicide, it's not worth it guys....
@@suzannemorris5779❤️🔥🙏❤️🔥 May God help us all.
I was truly thinking of how I might quit waking up....
Because wherever there is a difference, there is tension. Unfortunately thats how people just seem to work. Really they should just enjoy the good music
Its cool yo :) now all thats left to do is sit back and enjoy the music
Listening to this on a loop, crying and wondering what i'm doing with my life.
Good day so far..
I don't think suicide is selfish,but this song is amazing!So beautiful.
Music's music. Either you like it, or you don't. If you don't, don't listen to it. If you do, then that's cool. Do we REALLY have to fight?
I don't want to be selfish anymore....
absolutely correct! Thumbs up!
Flyleaf=AWESOME
Well I'm glad you were comforted by it. :D
here I am 6 years later hi again
GREAT DAY IN THE MORNING! 🤣👋
I need to buy this song!!!!

The world is a cruel place. Itz selfish to want to die becuz u will hurt everyone around u. But only some people kno that dying solves problems
I want to be with the Lord so bad.
🙏 May God be with us all ❤️🔥
"he pointed out how selfish it would be to kill myself" the exact thing my dad said to me.... amazing vid & lyrics :)
