Lyrics
Oh I swear my emotions are the enemy
Be dead by now if I’d have done what they were telling me
Whisper lies, but they sound like half-truths
Confusing a sick mind isn’t that hard to do
And you say I’m a hopeless case, I’m a hopeless case
I’m afraid I can’t trust myself, myself
Don’t leave me alone
How you want me to fix myself, myself,
All I’ve ever known, I've ever known
How can I separate
Me from the remedy?
I can’t be sure, be sure
Am I the curse or the cure?
Oh it’s more than a little maddening
got me second guessing everything that’s happening
I think, I think I’m in over my head
the more I think about it, the worse that it gets
All I see are all my flaws
I see is all I’m not
I’m not senseless
I won’t separate this heart
to make it what you want
you can’t tell me anymore
Curse or cure
Which version do you like better, the acoustic or original??
I love both versions but I like the original more
Original
Both❤️❤️❤️
Hate me for this but i love the acoustic version, Shawns solo and the pure emotion in those vocals just awesome.
Don´t get it wrong tho, the original is still brilliant.
Original
Can we just appreciate how much has Ariel grown over the years??!! Are you listening to these vocals? MASTERPIECE
10/10 can confirm!
Yaaaaas!!!!! Killed it!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
The accoustic version is my favourite one. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Hell yeah. I remember when they first started (damn makes me feel old aha) Ariels vocals were off more than they were on when listening live, and over the year the control and sound has become so consistent and amazing and I love it (hope that makes sense...its no meant to be disrespectful at all)
She's an inspiration, I take Vocal Lessons myself and a lot of terms she uses in streams are ones I know.
agreed
Side note: I feel like those sleeves were difficult to put on
Thank you for noticing.
Yes!!!!! I was thinking: oh! nice sleeves!!! But, how many time she took to put this on???? Hahaha.
Yeah
I need this sweater in my life!
I just can't stand two things:
-How much beauty there is in this song
-How underrated this band AND ALL of their songs are!!
Truly,
They've been under the radar far too long. They deserve more.
Just started listening recently and went crazy. Bought records, cd's, shirts, a poster and her book. This is simply damn good music!
I really love how the emotion comes through more in this version
Hi
Absolutely am in love with this version. Not only is it easier for this old woman to understand the words, even more importantly you can really feel the emotions. I think you really bring home the feelings with your hands and facial expressions. That said, I love the original version when I'm upset or angry with myself which happens much more frequently than I'd like. Really glad you guys stuck with your convictions and ideas when labels tried to fix something and mold you into something you weren't.
Right! I feel like all their Acoustic Versions are very special for this very reason. The level of emotions it adds, how much you can really feel it. I hope I said this right though.
Also completely agree with staying themselves. Rather than conforming to some labels mold. Too many in this day and age just conform... :(
'old woman' ? She's not that old
@@caitlin4265 I agree, Ariel is not that old, but I am, lol. I love all their music, I just like the acoustic versions for the emotions and it allows me to hear the words better so I can understand the original version better.
@@paulamoysin9175 Yh that makes sense lol
Gosh, I absolutely love this too. I love the heavier sound like the original for when I'm jamming out, but when I'm looking for the emotion- that raw, unfiltered, honest truth that Icon for Hire does so freaking well- it's got to be the acoustic versions. I especially love the focus on emotions and lyrics for my writing playlists
In complete agreement. Both versions are awesome and each has their purpose and place.
Yay, more people who use their songs for writing playlists! Their lyrics are such great story/character development fodder. Citizen Soldier is another of my favorite bands whose stuff immediately goes onto my writing playlists every time.
@@RissaFaith94 YES omg! I also use Citizen Soldier in some of my playlists. Can also never go wrong with the classics of Linkin Park.
Wow, I have to admit, I wasn't sure an acoustic version of this would work. But it really, really does. Outstanding job to you both on both versions!
Well, you have to consider that most songs start out either on acoustic guitar or piano, and then evolve from there. So there’s usually always an acoustic version of a song. Most of the time they just don’t get released.
I just love how far you've come in just that little time that I know of your band now. This video shows just how much skill you have gained singing I think. Because I remember you saying that your voice "wouldn't fit the genre" but I think that you can't say that anymore. You made it your own. Please be proud of the way you are, so are we.
Literal chills when Shawn's solo came up. I have goosebumps. This is incredible I am so proud of all you have done and how much your music has helped me
So amazing love the acoustic version a little more because the message in both versions are strong but in the acoustic you hear the emotions more
Ooo I think I like the vocals on this version better but both are great
I swear I always end up the acoustic versions of their songs a lot better than the original. Keep up the good work you guys! I can't waiiittt for this new era and what it has in store!
For someone who's Covid-19 positive like me (it effing sucks, yes), this band and their music - latest album EXTRA appreciated - helps overcome or at least make the discomfort, pain, depression, and overall negativity (oh, the irony) a little more bearable. Thank you for being here and continuing to make such life-changing music. You are the true definition of artists! Love you both, guys!
This is the Ariel I needed and wanted to hear. Now I hear her true voice wich is really powerfull. In my opinion this version shows a better meaning of the song and Ariel really shows how good her voice is. Love the more darker and lower side of her voice.
Ariel...........thank you for this (master)piece of music.
Absolutely beautiful, I might even like it better than the original, its so raw and connected feeling. I love it 💜🌸💜
I came across this group by accident BUT THEY really are the best band out there today.
Acoustic version is best one you guys have ever done in my opinion so beautiful ❤️
This is so beautiful. Both versions are amazing, but this one really delivers the emotion behind the lyrics for me.
Although I think it would be even better if Shawn joined for his vocal parts. ;)
Dang, Ariel... That control with the gravel, and seamlessly switching over to the smooth bittersweet top end. 😍
I've only known Amy Lee and Lzzy Hale to be able to flip so seamlessly, in the world of female vocalists. Goes to show the dedication to the craft, and also how well you're looking after your voice.
I love this new age. I'm listening since I'm a teen and you're the one band I really listen to. The one band I makes me feel and that makes me feel like I'm not alone with my f*cked up stuff. Every new song is better and seems to help more.
Thank you
Ariel's voice is so powerful and it really shines through in this version 💗
To be honest the original is more to my liking, but this has its own merits.
Man, the voice box on this lady must be made of steel.
This is great! (will us Patreons be getting a copy by chance?)
Now I'm even more hyped for the album if that is even possible!
#GetShawnADogLOL
I love both versions of this song. Ariel never dissapoints
