this is literally one of my favourite set it off songs, like I love their dark stuff, but I think it's amazing that they can do both dark and light music.
People are saying that they're "disappointed" whats there to be disappointed about? Sure this is different from they're other albums, but you've got to remember. There's two sides on the same coin. They're showing us they're other side. I love this. But that's just my opinion.
i cant speak for everyone, but duality was my favorite album from them. i think uncontainable is good, but the other 2 songs that have been released so far arent very good. they dont sound good enough to be singles. the lyrics kind of suck, and the instrumental in the verse is just boring af. just my opinion though c"
Well, I'm disappointed that they gave up what made the group sound distinctive and original in favor of copy and pasted radio tunes. I loved SIO but the past album flopped for me when I was so excited for it.
***** Too bad that's what they originally started with, you can try to make shit up just so you feel satisfied, but your only deluding yourself thinking they sold out. This type of music won't get them more views they don't have a fanbase for it, they did this because they wanted to pure and simple.
Btw I love this song don't care what other people say! I love the 'good vibes' you give out! And you guys helped me through a lot so thank you so so much.
Same, Set It Off is awesome and their music is very encouraging thanks to Set It Off i've been able to go through tough moments. Yeah it might sound weird that music can help you, but for me it isn't, and I hope Set It Off continues making music and encouraging more people. :) :)
wait, people are disappointed? come on. it's new. it's different. when a band shows diversity, it shows just how talented and hard working they are. it takes grit and creativity to break out of a reputation and do something new. and it's all for the fans! so we have more to listen to and can share this with any type of friend who needs it at the time. they worked really hard to make this for their fans. and personally, I'm honored and ecstatic that my favorite band has so many different types of tunes I can listen to. awesome job Set It Off! you're doing great.
Honestly, I love this. I've been here since Cinematics and I love both their old alternative sound and their new happy sound. I met Cody at a songwriting lesson thing at Warped, and he talked about how he was always writing music focused on the opinions of other people during his Horrible Kids/Cinematics time instead of for himself, which was what he told us was a lot better for writing. He said he wrote these songs for himself, and that he realized that you had to love your own music for people to love it too. He wrote Duality and the songs in Upside Down with that mindset, and loved it, and if he loves it and enjoys it then I'm in full support of it. Sorry if it's hard to understand this, it's really hard for me to put what he said into words because he said it a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to remember his explanation that well (his was a lot better than mine).
Also, to the people that are "Disappointed" in this song, go listen to something else, because Cody, Maxx, Dan, and Zach worked so hard to make this song, and it turned out AWESOME. If you don't like it, then don't listen to it.
My 10 1/2 year old son just discovered this band and is in love with them! He particularly LOVES this song. He walks around singing it and doing the drum rhythm every day! 🤣
I'm honestly disappointed. Not in the song, the song is amazing. I'm disappointed in the people who don't like it because it's not like anything from Cinematics or Horrible Kids. If you don't like it then fine, don't listen to it. If Cody, Maxx, Dan, and Zach enjoy making songs like this then that's all that matters. Also I really enjoy how happy the song is and the good vibes. :D
I see what you mean, but it's hard to see a group change the very sound that made them stick out from other groups and sound original in favor of copy and pasted radio tunes. I loved SIO, even saw them live and met them, but this made me a bit sad that they seem to be just doing the basic "whats popular now' sound.
I completely agree. I personally love how all of their albums aren't the same and I love this song. I'm so proud of them and how far they've come and I think more of the ppl like u and me should exist. Ppl who aren't afraid to express their thoughts and put ppl in their place. Everyone should either be supportive or leave i think
why do people feel the need to compare their new music to the old. its going to be different, they're going to experiment different styles. also its literally one song from an entire album, maybe cut them some slack?
It's because people get attached to the band and its members so when they're style starts changing and they start making music you you don't like you feel bad because you still want to support them. It's a good song but it's just not my thing.
Honestly, I'm a huge fan of both the dark and light songs in Set It Off, and it's amazing how well they can do both styles while still giving off that little je ne sais quoi that makes it what it is.
If you guys haven't noticed (I'm guessing btw) I think 'Something New' refers to them changing from punk, emo, and whatever to what they are now. And I love them no matter what
It upsets me that a bunch of people are saying they don't like the song or it's not as good as their older stuff. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I for one love this song because it's all about conquering anxiety which I have had to deal with. And from that perspective every line of this song rings true and is a motivation to not let it control me. And on top of all that it has an amazing beat that just makes me want to smile and get up and dance! So I respect not liking the song (I say extremely grudgingly), but at least understand that these guys aren't remotely losing their touch in regards to producing great music!
Sooo glad to see another song!! I met Dan at the merchant tent at warped and he was such a cool dude. Love this band, cheers to Cody for being such an inspiration
Why are people disappointed by this heartwarming song? It's nice and inspiring. Just because they don't act punk once doesn't mean anything. Don't watch the damn video if you don't like it. ://
Minutes ago, Skillet releases the new album. Then we get a new Set It Off song. And on the same day Suicide Squad is released which Jared Leto from Thirty Seconds To Mars is in. Guys, it's the sign of the apocalypse and I'm actually okay that Warner Bros trolled us with MCR due to how much we got today.
I just finished watching it, & I just loved everything. I loved the beat, the lyrics, the video, & just the overall feeling I got from the song. Well done Set It Off!
I constantly come back to this album when I'm having trouble seeing things positively. Thank you SIO for making it easier to see the good when I'm down.
i think the song "Something New" is a refrence to how they changed the style of the type of music they play brefore they used to play more rock, emo and now they play sort of pop music
I listened to set it off for so long. This was non stop on the radio in 2016... And i never knew it was theirs until it was in my recommended. Meanwhile i was listening to lonely dance when i saw this. Lmao
I get what this song is saying because I went through the exact same phase of "I'm literally just sitting around and moping, I could be doing shit" and I love it
I honestly cannot get enough of this song. It makes me wanna get up and dance and run around, and I absolutely love songs like this. If you don't like this song just because it's not like Cinematics, then sucks for you. The guys worked hard on this song, and they were so pumped when it came out to see your reaction. I'm sure that they weren't expecting to see the people they thought supported them saying "I don't like that you're changing." They write songs based on what they're feeling. Stuff like N.M.E, I'd Rather Drown, and Ancient History are songs that were written because they were mad or upset. Something New and Life Afraid were written because they were excited, or they were happy. Stop being like "They're changing." Because, yes, they're changing, but they still enjoy what they do, and that's what matters.
Love your stuff man. Even though you guys have kinda smoothed out from what you guys used to sound like, the messages behind the songs are amazing :) you guys are awesome
I don't care whether they make 'dark' music like they used to, or if they make up-beat music like they do now. I LOVE all their songs, and I LOVE Set It Off. As long as they're making music, I'm happy!!!
Set it Off really is such an astounding band. The fact that the members are not afraid to try different styles with their music. They're willing to try new things and experiment instead of having all the songs be of the same genre, although there is nothing wrong with that at all. It just makes this band so unique, especially how they add diversity to their music and pull it off so freaking well! Not everyone has to like this song, but it's really hard not to appreciate their uniqueness, talent, ability to adapt to a different style, passion, and hard work. Please keep up the beautiful work. You are my favorite band! :)
Set it off is best described by Panic!'s lyrics "Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen." they are changing it up some, but we still love them, and there is still a message in the song, it doesn't matter how it sounds, you can like a band without having to like all the songs.
im Kinda a new set it off Fan,But i got to listen to thier First Albums,And then i got To Upside down,And i was like "Hey!,This is pretty cool!" Then i saw how thier music style changed But its pretty epic still,So I still Love SIO
so when I first heard this album I hated it because it wasn't edgy enough for me but now that I've listened to it again I can say I love it. Bands don't owe you anything, if they want to make a change in their music they can. If it's too preppy for you, go to a different band or just listen to their old stuff
Everyone's saying how they don't like this: I freaking LOVE it. I know it sounds nothing like cinematics but it's an awesome song. I'm so stoked for upside down to come out
TW: starving (kinda), cutting, self hatred, s*ic*dal thoughts. During my 8th grade, I thought that the only way I could be happy was if I looked like a skinny white boy with straight short hair and side swept bangs. That's kinda impossible for me because I'm already pretty skinny, but my hair is really curly. I decided to try and fit that mold by barely eating. It got so bad, that I was eating part of my lunch for breakfast, the rest for lunch, and I'd eat 1/3 of my dinner, and spent sometimes during class looking up the calories of certain foods. It started with wanting to go from 103 lbs to 100, but I couldn't stop. I got to 93 in around 1-2 months, and still thought that wasn't enough. I was also going to the bathroom a lot at school, and every time I went, I just thought about how I didn't have the guy parts that I should have. Somehow, I snapped out of it, and I felt so much better. I was doing just fine, and I felt like I was really a bisexual girl. I even came out to my family and they were supportive! However, around november 2019, (9th grade) I started to realize that me wanting to be a boy wasn't a phase, and now I'm actually starting to realize that I am a boy. Throughout all of this time, I've been hating myself so much, and I actually had two scratches on each arm, and they were shallow but still hurt a lot. I also had really wanted to just disappear from the world, and somedays still I feel like I should've died from certain things. This song has helped me out so much even though I figured out about it this year. It makes me think back to 8th grade and even this year, and how I could've been gone and wouldn't have been able to hear this song, but I stayed because I wanted to get better. This song really helps me to know that even with everything that's happened and with everything going on, I'm still here, and I really won't live my life in fear and sadness. I'm gonna live it how I want, whether that's exploring new parts of town, or just finding fun games to play online.
I'm disappointed how everyone says that the "I'm disappointed comments are stupid and they just tried to make a different type of song." First,it's just their opinion,second,I can't see any of those.
This song was perfect for me to hear tonight after several days of feeling like I have no control over my life. Thank you, Set It Off, for making songs that motivate me.
I don't know why some few of them are dissapointed in this song ;-; Tbh, I really love this one and one of my favorites. But who am I to judge, everyone has different taste on music. And I guess I'm the type of a person who loves any kind of music I guess 😂😅❤ (Edit: just corrected my spelling . Sorry XD)
I can't say I like SIO's upbeat songs, but this, uncontainable, why worry, and forever stuck in our youth are songs I would definitely play at my birthday party.
I love Set It Off so much. All of their songs have a point and they send different messages to different people but this song is really truly amazing. And it sends a good message
Dear Set It Off, people are saying that they love this, but please. I can't deal with this. I miss the old you. I grew up listening to your Horrible Kids and Cinematics albums and you were my favorite band.Now, this makes me sad.I bet many people could agree, a lot of us like you because of that stuff.You were great, and now you're just a want to be boy band.Please go back to being my idols. Thanks.
I understand that it can be frustrating when a band that you love changes their sound from what you loved in the first place, having said that though I also completely understand that as we get older we change. Think about it, how many of us are exactly the same as we were 5 years ago? I personally know I'm not the same person I was even a year ago. Change happens, and I'm so glad that these guys can do what they love, because it's clear that in doing so they have inspired so many people, myself included. I love their older stuff as well as their new stuff, and I think it's because you can tell that they genuinely and truly love what they do, and that type of energy is so infectious. ❤
Not being rude I really love SIO but I honestly prefer their older songs like "the grand finale" "Ashley's song" " nightmare" and songs like that , don't get me wrong I love their new-er songs but I prefer the older ones
I guess I haven't been a SIO fan for long enough to see the people who are 'disappointed' about this song, but HOW CAN YOU BE DISAPPOINTED OMG THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES HOW CAN *ANYONE* BE DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS BLESSING
It's about standing up against your fears and not letting them take control of your life. Depending on the person, those fears may be bullies or caused by bullying. For me, this song is about overcoming anxiety to live a happier life, since that's something I can relate to. The wonderful thing about music is that each person can hear the same song differently :)
Well I'm phlegmatic so I honestly don't really get attached to the message of a song. I mean like I totally get it, I'm just incapable of experiencing it
if you don't like this set it off, then go listen to another punk band.. they're just gonna keep making music like this and if you don't like it then find another band.
It's growing on me. Not going to say it's my absolute favorite. But I did enjoy it. I will forever support Set It Off, and I won't say anything negative.
Nope, I love the band, but I hate lies, I didn't like the song, sorry SIO, Uncontainable was pretty good, but this... doesn't feel like your music :c, I'll just go to listen Calm Before The Storm, Horrible Kids, Cinematics and Duality for now. Thanks for uploading a video, waiting for the next song... EDIT: Screw my complex with pop music, this is a SIO song and if I learned something from this guys is that they represent every stage of life with almost every album and song they made SIO BEST BAND EVER!
hey I get this is your opinions but there trying new stuff their not going to stay the same forever. but its your opinions but some people like their new sound
I was so hyped for a second when I saw this in my UA-cam feed, I miss their style from Cinematics. I liked a few songs from Duality but I was overall disappointed.
this song has been so helpful this week. I have been going through a rough time and this song makes me so happy. Thank you Set It Off so much for the amazing upbeat music.
i love set it off and i always will but honestly something new and life afraid have been kind of dissapointing. Their music style is changing a lot, and it doesnt sound pop punk anymore. I miss the orchestral sounds of cinematics. Duality was amazing as well. But the sounds of these new songs seem kind of techno, and i just miss the plain guitars and drums and no effects.
agreed cinimatics and also horrible kids were my favorite albums i dont like this sound this song sound like it should have been played in the brazil world cup
well the new album isn't out yet....least I don't think bet most likely they will have all that good stuff bet maybe there realising these songs first to maybe attract to fans
I know people are going to get mad at me for this, but this song was a huge let down. Maybe if I found this song first and didn't previously follow the group for their orchestral-pop-punk sounds.... maybe then I would like the different sound. I hate to be that person who doesn't like change... I fully understand that groups change their sounds (I've defended a bunch over the years), but their lyrics used to be something you could tell were very personal to the group. Their sound used to be very distinct that I hadn't heard other groups doing. They were SET IT OFF, not just another group basing their sound off of what is on the radio today. This has so many Justin Bieber vibes, but I came here for SET IT OFF, the group I saw live two years ago and met and hugged, the group that brought me close with so many fans who became my friend (I'm still friends with 2 of them years later)... the group that made me into a dream catcher in one of my lowest years. Sorry if I'm sentimental and nostalgic of a group I once loved dearly, but their songs have become so basic and plain.... average
Thank you!!! I loved their more angsty music like Wolf In Sheeps Clothing and Swan Song, that just felt so raw and real. This song's just so... bland and almost cold in how plain it is!
Well get over it. they are trying something new. They are trying to show different stages of life in the from of music and albums. So stop crying about it, and understand that this is what they want to do.
I'm no music critic by any means, but this is probably the first disappointing song made by you guys. It's not bad by any means, but it seems like it's severely lacking in the edgy energy that you guys had in all of your other songs. It almost sounds like you guys are holding back a bit, it may just be the way the sound is produced by it's certainly missing that intangible quality that really drew me into your music in the first. I still plan on buying the album since you guys are too awesome to not support, but I doubt I find much replay value in this track.
their music is evolving with a lot of their older fans. I love it. don't get me wrong, horrible kids is still my favorite album but I like the different sound.
this is literally one of my favourite set it off songs, like I love their dark stuff, but I think it's amazing that they can do both dark and light music.
I totally agree!
Finally! Someone who's actually appreciative of Set It Off and ALL of their music! ⟠
Alex Michalski
The duality diamond has a dark side and a light side. Perhaps their style change reflects upon it.
They can do more rock/pop then more musical and contemporary songs too. The range that they can do is amazing
I AGREE
People are saying that they're "disappointed" whats there to be disappointed about? Sure this is different from they're other albums, but you've got to remember. There's two sides on the same coin. They're showing us they're other side. I love this. But that's just my opinion.
i cant speak for everyone, but duality was my favorite album from them. i think uncontainable is good, but the other 2 songs that have been released so far arent very good. they dont sound good enough to be singles. the lyrics kind of suck, and the instrumental in the verse is just boring af. just my opinion though c"
They are disappointed cause' they didn't really like this song.
Well, I'm disappointed that they gave up what made the group sound distinctive and original in favor of copy and pasted radio tunes. I loved SIO but the past album flopped for me when I was so excited for it.
In cody's own words It's what their group originally made, they haven't given up anything.
***** Too bad that's what they originally started with, you can try to make shit up just so you feel satisfied, but your only deluding yourself thinking they sold out.
This type of music won't get them more views they don't have a fanbase for it, they did this because they wanted to pure and simple.
Set It Off is the best thing that has happened to me, thanks for everything you guys! Love ya 💙
Btw I love this song don't care what other people say! I love the 'good vibes' you give out! And you guys helped me through a lot so thank you so so much.
+Sydney M hell ya that's the spirit of it glad to see someone positive in the comuinty
Same, Set It Off is awesome and their music is very encouraging thanks to Set It Off i've been able to go through tough moments. Yeah it might sound weird that music can help you, but for me it isn't, and I hope Set It Off continues making music and encouraging more people. :) :)
Yea, It makes me sad how many people are hating on their new music.
They've all been a huge inspiration for my band. Especially cody. Keep it
L
wait, people are disappointed? come on. it's new. it's different. when a band shows diversity, it shows just how talented and hard working they are. it takes grit and creativity to break out of a reputation and do something new. and it's all for the fans! so we have more to listen to and can share this with any type of friend who needs it at the time. they worked really hard to make this for their fans. and personally, I'm honored and ecstatic that my favorite band has so many different types of tunes I can listen to. awesome job Set It Off! you're doing great.
Why are people disappointed smh this song is amazing, it gives me good vibes uwu
Lol people who don't like it bc it doesn't sound like the old stuff. I don't even care what it sounds like: if it's Set It Off, I'm sold!
it hardly feels like Set It Off at all though
@@jaydengardiner19 then deal with it, if they like making it then they like making it. They cant give everyone what they want.
@@jaydengardiner19 then deal with it, if they like making it then they like making it. They cant give everyone what they want.
Why do all my favorite bands keep making new music this week?
First MCR (they count, kinda), and now SIO?
... God is real.
u forget storm the sky
MCR? When?
Yas, i love your channel btw
*Hey Lizzie! And I get it, totally love these bands.
+Toriel Dreemurr loving the name!
Honestly, I love this. I've been here since Cinematics and I love both their old alternative sound and their new happy sound.

I won't live my life afraid of different styles of music.
***** I've heard all of their other songs though.
Evan Nickols EXACTLY
that's the spirit
YESS!!! Agreeeeddd
My 10 1/2 year old son just discovered this band and is in love with them! He particularly LOVES this song. He walks around singing it and doing the drum rhythm every day! 🤣
This is the week to be alive. Not the year. It sucks. But the week.
same
**laughs in 2020**
I'm honestly disappointed. Not in the song, the song is amazing. I'm disappointed in the people who don't like it because it's not like anything from Cinematics or Horrible Kids. If you don't like it then fine, don't listen to it. If Cody, Maxx, Dan, and Zach enjoy making songs like this then that's all that matters.
Also I really enjoy how happy the song is and the good vibes. :D
I see what you mean, but it's hard to see a group change the very sound that made them stick out from other groups and sound original in favor of copy and pasted radio tunes. I loved SIO, even saw them live and met them, but this made me a bit sad that they seem to be just doing the basic "whats popular now' sound.
+JenDoesNotCare I understand, except they're just trying to experiment with their music to see what makes them happy
I'm so proud of them amd that they are pushing the boundaries 😊
I completely agree. I personally love how all of their albums aren't the same and I love this song. I'm so proud of them and how far they've come and I think more of the ppl like u and me should exist. Ppl who aren't afraid to express their thoughts and put ppl in their place. Everyone should either be supportive or leave i think
+Anya Lundie Yeah, if they don't like the song then just don't listen to it. It's as simple as that. I'm really proud of them too ^.^
why do people feel the need to compare their new music to the old. its going to be different, they're going to experiment different styles. also its literally one song from an entire album, maybe cut them some slack?
Exactly
It's because people get attached to the band and its members so when they're style starts changing and they start making music you you don't like you feel bad because you still want to support them. It's a good song but it's just not my thing.
This band is so *UNDER RATED!!!* It's an *EXTREMELY* good band that hardly anybody knows exists.
Honestly, I'm a huge fan of both the dark and light songs in Set It Off, and it's amazing how well they can do both styles while still giving off that little je ne sais quoi that makes it what it is.
Me: Dont Panic
Set It Off: *posts new video*
Me: IM PANICING
*No need to Panic!

I am not sorry.

Me: ... i cant even all at once. Bren. Cody. please.
There isn't anything to be disappointed about people. This song is amazing.
Set it off = TWO MOOD MUSIC ! AND I LOVE IT ! I became a fan recently but I listen to them every day!
If you guys haven't noticed (I'm guessing btw) I think 'Something New' refers to them changing from punk, emo, and whatever to what they are now. And I love them no matter what
2 years later and this is still my favorite song on Upside Down. This one I can relate to on a good day.
who is disappointed? I don't see any disappointing comments. This song is so upbeat and positive I love it!
I love this!!! Great song - wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!! Please keep me in the loop when any and all music comes out from your band!
It upsets me that a bunch of people are saying they don't like the song or it's not as good as their older stuff. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I for one love this song because it's all about conquering anxiety which I have had to deal with. And from that perspective every line of this song rings true and is a motivation to not let it control me.

powerful, positive lyrics,catchy tune,and Positive healthy vibes in EVERY Direction! Fantastic job Set It Off!!
I just finished watching it, & I just loved everything. I loved the beat, the lyrics, the video, & just the overall feeling I got from the song. Well done Set It Off!
All I have to say is I'm in love with this album.
everyone is disappointed because Cody isn't emo anymore but I'm just over here dancing to every song.
I constantly come back to this album when I'm having trouble seeing things positively. Thank you SIO for making it easier to see the good when I'm down.
Wow, this video is so beautiful, so aesthetically pleasing and happy! Hmmm I feel alive
Flawless.
Perfect. Just Perfect.
Never gets old, will never be bored of this ♡
i think the song "Something New" is a refrence to how they changed the style of the type of music they play brefore they used to play more rock, emo and now they play sort of pop music
Nailed it!
But don't forget, we started with calm before the storm, as a pop band. This is who we are.
+Cody Carson i only found out about your band a few weeks ago and i already know all the lyrics to all your songs. i have no life -_-
+Cody Carson omg cody carson i cant breath
+spiritnote when I figured them out I memorized all their songs too. I don't have a life either.

its alot more pop than some of their other songs but ill give it a shot.
Respect
Hey cody! Are you going to play this at warped tour? Im going the day after tomorrow
It's kinda like forever stuck in our youth but slower and worse
Love your stuff man. Even though you guys have kinda smoothed out from what you guys used to sound like, the messages behind the songs are amazing :) you guys are awesome
Forgot to mention. I'm making an album myself. Any pointers??
Oh my Jesus Christ why do I love their new sound?
you guys never disappoint! great song!! I cannot wait to hear the rest of the album!
I don't care whether they make 'dark' music like they used to, or if they make up-beat music like they do now. I LOVE all their songs, and I LOVE Set It Off. As long as they're making music, I'm happy!!!
I'm officially obsessed with this song! Ugh I love it so much! Love it that they are trying something new!
I mean, even if the song itself isn't the best SIO has produced, the lyrics are still really inspiring, which is what makes SIO so incredible
How dare you guys making me freak out & sing loudly at 12 midnight =.=
Set it Off really is such an astounding band. The fact that the members are not afraid to try different styles with their music. They're willing to try new things and experiment instead of having all the songs be of the same genre, although there is nothing wrong with that at all. It just makes this band so unique, especially how they add diversity to their music and pull it off so freaking well! Not everyone has to like this song, but it's really hard not to appreciate their uniqueness, talent, ability to adapt to a different style, passion, and hard work. Please keep up the beautiful work. You are my favorite band! :)
Set it off is best described by Panic!'s lyrics "Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen." they are changing it up some, but we still love them, and there is still a message in the song, it doesn't matter how it sounds, you can like a band without having to like all the songs.
im Kinda a new set it off Fan,But i got to listen to thier First Albums,And then i got To Upside down,And i was like
"Hey!,This is pretty cool!"
Then i saw how thier music style changed But its pretty epic still,So I still Love SIO
This song is amazing great work Set it Off!
I really needed this in a time like this :)
so when I first heard this album I hated it because it wasn't edgy enough for me but now that I've listened to it again I can say I love it.
Bands don't owe you anything, if they want to make a change in their music they can. If it's too preppy for you, go to a different band or just listen to their old stuff
Everyone's saying how they don't like this: I freaking LOVE it. I know it sounds nothing like cinematics but it's an awesome song. I'm so stoked for upside down to come out
came here just in time omg😨❤😱

I have been listening to this, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, and Therapy (all time low) over and over and over again... ALL DAY!!!
TW: starving (kinda), cutting, self hatred, s*ic*dal thoughts.
During my 8th grade, I thought that the only way I could be happy was if I looked like a skinny white boy with straight short hair and side swept bangs. That's kinda impossible for me because I'm already pretty skinny, but my hair is really curly. I decided to try and fit that mold by barely eating. It got so bad, that I was eating part of my lunch for breakfast, the rest for lunch, and I'd eat 1/3 of my dinner, and spent sometimes during class looking up the calories of certain foods. It started with wanting to go from 103 lbs to 100, but I couldn't stop. I got to 93 in around 1-2 months, and still thought that wasn't enough. I was also going to the bathroom a lot at school, and every time I went, I just thought about how I didn't have the guy parts that I should have. Somehow, I snapped out of it, and I felt so much better. I was doing just fine, and I felt like I was really a bisexual girl. I even came out to my family and they were supportive! However, around november 2019, (9th grade) I started to realize that me wanting to be a boy wasn't a phase, and now I'm actually starting to realize that I am a boy. Throughout all of this time, I've been hating myself so much, and I actually had two scratches on each arm, and they were shallow but still hurt a lot. I also had really wanted to just disappear from the world, and somedays still I feel like I should've died from certain things. This song has helped me out so much even though I figured out about it this year. It makes me think back to 8th grade and even this year, and how I could've been gone and wouldn't have been able to hear this song, but I stayed because I wanted to get better. This song really helps me to know that even with everything that's happened and with everything going on, I'm still here, and I really won't live my life in fear and sadness. I'm gonna live it how I want, whether that's exploring new parts of town, or just finding fun games to play online.
If you'd ask me how my life has been so far, I'd just say: look up set it off life afraid. this song sums up my life so good!!!
Mom : What are you humming?
Me : Life Afraid - Set it off
*Plays the song for her*
Mom : I like this song
Me : Good to Know!
this is so different from their other stuff but it works so well?? like i'm so confused but really happy they did such a great job with this song
I'm disappointed how everyone says that the "I'm disappointed comments are stupid and they just tried to make a different type of song." First,it's just their opinion,second,I can't see any of those.
This song was perfect for me to hear tonight after several days of feeling like I have no control over my life. Thank you, Set It Off, for making songs that motivate me.
I don't know why some few of them are dissapointed in this song ;-; Tbh, I really love this one and one of my favorites. But who am I to judge, everyone has different taste on music. And I guess I'm the type of a person who loves any kind of music I guess 😂😅❤
(Edit: just corrected my spelling . Sorry XD)
I can't say I like SIO's upbeat songs, but this, uncontainable, why worry, and forever stuck in our youth are songs I would definitely play at my birthday party.
This proves top 40 radio is rigged
I love Set It Off so much. All of their songs have a point and they send different messages to different people but this song is really truly amazing. And it sends a good message
I'm disappointed in the you people.
Right, it's something different, but this song is good
It's just SOMETHING NEW
I need this in my birthday party
I will literally buy a giant Bluetooth speaker and play this song for senior sign out
Nick Ward Oh Worm? I put some lyrics on my grad cap.
I always thought about how Upside Down was such a happy album.
Then I listened to Hypnotized.
Dear Set It Off, people are saying that they love this, but please. I can't deal with this. I miss the old you. I grew up listening to your Horrible Kids and Cinematics albums and you were my favorite band.Now, this makes me sad.I bet many people could agree, a lot of us like you because of that stuff.You were great, and now you're just a want to be boy band.Please go back to being my idols. Thanks.
I have so much good vibes from this, love it.
Notification squad where y'all at?
ayyyyyyy
wow its AMAZING also my grandma's last words to me were "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" it was cool to see those words again :)
I'm not a fan but it's still a good song :D
I understand that it can be frustrating when a band that you love changes their sound from what you loved in the first place, having said that though I also completely understand that as we get older we change. Think about it, how many of us are exactly the same as we were 5 years ago? I personally know I'm not the same person I was even a year ago. Change happens, and I'm so glad that these guys can do what they love, because it's clear that in doing so they have inspired so many people, myself included. I love their older stuff as well as their new stuff, and I think it's because you can tell that they genuinely and truly love what they do, and that type of energy is so infectious. ❤
Aeho Brasil carai 1 da manhã nessa porr
AEHOOO
Why are people saying that people are bitches for not liking the song cos i cant see anyone disappointed....WHICH IS GOOD!
Not being rude I really love SIO but I honestly prefer their older songs like "the grand finale" "Ashley's song" " nightmare" and songs like that , don't get me wrong I love their new-er songs but I prefer the older ones
Whose watching in 2018? Also Nice song Set It Off
“I’m breathing today”
At first I thought it said “I’m breathing to death”
Because that makes sense
I guess I haven't been a SIO fan for long enough to see the people who are 'disappointed' about this song, but HOW CAN YOU BE DISAPPOINTED OMG THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES HOW CAN *ANYONE* BE DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS BLESSING
this song is about bullying right? im kinda bad at seeing the message of songs... on a side note, i love the shit outta this song~! ^^
It's about standing up against your fears and not letting them take control of your life. Depending on the person, those fears may be bullies or caused by bullying. For me, this song is about overcoming anxiety to live a happier life, since that's something I can relate to. The wonderful thing about music is that each person can hear the same song differently :)
Well I'm phlegmatic so I honestly don't really get attached to the message of a song. I mean like I totally get it, I'm just incapable of experiencing it
actually, it was originally a song about the bombing in a venue in france last year, and how we shouldn't let the fear win :)
Wut???
all of these people saying that this was disappointing...I freaking LOVE it
if you don't like this set it off, then go listen to another punk band.. they're just gonna keep making music like this and if you don't like it then find another band.
It's growing on me. Not going to say it's my absolute favorite. But I did enjoy it. I will forever support Set It Off, and I won't say anything negative.
Nope, I love the band, but I hate lies, I didn't like the song, sorry SIO, Uncontainable was pretty good, but this... doesn't feel like your music :c, I'll just go to listen Calm Before The Storm, Horrible Kids, Cinematics and Duality for now. Thanks for uploading a video, waiting for the next song...
EDIT: Screw my complex with pop music, this is a SIO song and if I learned something from this guys is that they represent every stage of life with almost every album and song they made SIO BEST BAND EVER!
agreed i dont like this song i was happy for the upload now just disapointined
I agree, I hope this isn't their new style
hey I get this is your opinions but there trying new stuff their not going to stay the same forever. but its your opinions but some people like their new sound
+fire foxx and some people don't
I was so hyped for a second when I saw this in my UA-cam feed, I miss their style from Cinematics. I liked a few songs from Duality but I was overall disappointed.
this song has been so helpful this week. I have been going through a rough time and this song makes me so happy. Thank you Set It Off so much for the amazing upbeat music.
i love set it off and i always will but honestly something new and life afraid have been kind of dissapointing. Their music style is changing a lot, and it doesnt sound pop punk anymore. I miss the orchestral sounds of cinematics. Duality was amazing as well. But the sounds of these new songs seem kind of techno, and i just miss the plain guitars and drums and no effects.
I agree.. But I did enjoy something new it kind of reminded me of forever stuck in our youth... But this song just isn't really their style tbh 😕
agreed cinimatics and also horrible kids were my favorite albums i dont like this sound this song sound like it should have been played in the brazil world cup
I love all of sios songs including this one but I do miss songs like @reply and hush hush
same ^^^
well the new album isn't out yet....least I don't think bet most likely they will have all that good stuff bet maybe there realising these songs first to maybe attract to fans
This song is amazing, thank you Set It Off for changing the way on how I see things, just thank you.
I know people are going to get mad at me for this, but this song was a huge let down. Maybe if I found this song first and didn't previously follow the group for their orchestral-pop-punk sounds.... maybe then I would like the different sound. I hate to be that person who doesn't like change... I fully understand that groups change their sounds (I've defended a bunch over the years), but their lyrics used to be something you could tell were very personal to the group. Their sound used to be very distinct that I hadn't heard other groups doing. They were SET IT OFF, not just another group basing their sound off of what is on the radio today. This has so many Justin Bieber vibes, but I came here for SET IT OFF, the group I saw live two years ago and met and hugged, the group that brought me close with so many fans who became my friend (I'm still friends with 2 of them years later)... the group that made me into a dream catcher in one of my lowest years. Sorry if I'm sentimental and nostalgic of a group I once loved dearly, but their songs have become so basic and plain.... average
Their shows 2 years ago were the most fun thing ever. Still fun but it goes to show so much can change in just a short time span
Thank you!!! I loved their more angsty music like Wolf In Sheeps Clothing and Swan Song, that just felt so raw and real. This song's just so... bland and almost cold in how plain it is!
Well get over it. they are trying something new. They are trying to show different stages of life in the from of music and albums. So stop crying about it, and understand that this is what they want to do.
I do get why they are doing it and I'm not "crying" over it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it
Kathryn Brown you don't have to like it, just stop complaining a being a little bitch
I just found this song and I love it!!!!
I'm no music critic by any means, but this is probably the first disappointing song made by you guys. It's not bad by any means, but it seems like it's severely lacking in the edgy energy that you guys had in all of your other songs. It almost sounds like you guys are holding back a bit, it may just be the way the sound is produced by it's certainly missing that intangible quality that really drew me into your music in the first. I still plan on buying the album since you guys are too awesome to not support, but I doubt I find much replay value in this track.
their music is evolving with a lot of their older fans. I love it. don't get me wrong, horrible kids is still my favorite album but I like the different sound.
Really didn't like this one.
same
sort of disappointed of how "boring" it feels compared to the other albums and songs, but i still love the band
+KrackedPutayto I dont know, it provided something different we havent heard from them in a while, which to me makes me love it even more
I agree, it's way too poppy and there's basically no guitar at all. It sounds like a generic pop song
Hunter Hawkins Yeah, but we've been hearing it from everywhere else for the past 5 years.
Yeah I don't like it the chorus is kinda catchy. idk so far I don't like the direction they are going for this album
Bella canzone
Honestly kinda disappointed😞
why
why
I kinda feel it but barely but like still love the band so
+Ghost Girl I'm just not impressed by a lot of their new stuff. They used to be my favorite band but their style has just changed so much
+Kelley Carroll yeah cause cody isn't emo (or whatever tf he was) anymore
I like the upbeat style of this, it just seems so positive
Set It Off is changing their look and everything, but so what! If they still make amazing music I don't care what they do!
This song just came out in a perfect moment to help me. I love you guys, you are awesome!
