Totally agree and this song really explains today’s issues in our society. We have all the technology to be connected but we are further apart than we have ever been! Stay safe stay strong we have some dark days ahead!
As a Christian, I struggle with depression & suicidal thoughts. I beg God to take those thoughts away & only hope I don’t give the demons the keys to over power me. Jesus loved me so much He gave His life for me. This song reminds me I’m not alone,that we do face spiritual warfare but we also create these things in our heads. I’m guilty of that for sure. What an amazing song. 🖤
Take a look at all the musicians who ever trashed Creed and see them covering one eye, holding up devil horns, posing for pictures with goats, doing videos in bath tubs with snakes...
Sometimes the trendy thing to do is hate a group for no reason other than people repeat what they hear from others. It has more to do with lack of self identity and wanting to fit in and less to do with recognition of good music. Same thing has happened to Nickelback, Winger and several others. It's no different than those who say terrible artists are great because again, it's cool to like them. I won't name any because that's my opinion but we all know those people
Me too. Don't like your handle. I get it! Answer this question if you want to. Why (I'm assuming), are Christians so judgemental, when their taught GOD will take care of it.
Me too. I still remember when I heard this masterpiece for the first time. I was washing dishes, listening to rock radio station of my town (Enseada FM 94,3 Santos-SP/Brazil) and the opening chords echoed through my house...I stopped everything and picked up every note of the song. A magical moment...
The songs not about judgement day, it’s about Scott stapp having a bad high and was stuck in hell and when he sobered he realized his way of life was sinful, so he says he cries out to God
@@jordan1318to a christian if we feel its about judgement day and it lets us worship Jesus with his song , its not the real meaning behide the song if a christian feels its about Jesus and makes worships about it then its ok , maybe the song has two meanings but anyways we all can see our own meaning on things
I remember those hopeless nights listening to this song in my motel room, alone and broken by my own poor choices. I went into a drug induced psychosis twice and I've overdosed once, and whenever I slipped into the drug induced mania I used to think to myself " I created my own prison..." 7 months clean and I named my son Gabriel ❤
Goodnight! The HOLY SPIRIT envies me here to tell you that JESUS loves you very much! HE has a wonderful plan for your life! In his message you say that you have been clean for seven months, because know that only in HIM, in his endless mercy, do we find strength to be healed ministers. I know this because I went through a similar process. I gave up my life and gave myself over to alcohol and other prisons of darkness. I had found "My Own Prison". It was then that JESUS extended his mighty hand to me and showed me his incomparable Love. I've never known love like this! Believe in the name of JESUS. Surrender to HIM! Open your heart, confess JESUS as your only and sufficient Savior and pray asking the LORD to come into your life and help you. The HOLY SPIRIT will help you in the most, believe me! Matthew 11.28-29 "28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Music means many things to many people. I never cared for bands like Creed. Or Nickelback. Poser music to me but I've mellowed over the years. If it makes you happy then by all means listen to them 24-7. Glad youre doing better
@@S.J.L stupid peral jam comment aside, people hate creed because stapp became an absolute lunatic. creed without him, aka alter bridge, is a far better band and miles is an insane vocalist
@@brianemerich2524 I stand by my statement, PJ is overrated except for Yellow Ledbetter. I'll check out the other band but in defense of Scott, insanity is a job hazard for a preformer.
I fortunately have never suffered of depression, and I'm currently not sad. But every time I listen to this song, it transmits me a weird, sad, melancholic feeling, which is exactly the purpose of this masterpiece. What I mean to say, this song is so well-made that you don't need to suffer of depression to feel it. I love this song. And I swear that if I ever fall into any kind of sadness, I'll listen to this song and I'm sure it'll make me overcome that moment, just as it did with other people.
Was in the military when this came out. It blew up around the country and on base i was stationed at. Took me months to realize how profound the lyrics were to Christianity.
That’s the beauty of the media… they can easily hide this fact from all of us! There are a bunch more bands that y’all would be surprised are also singing to God!
One of the best bands ever. Don't care what anyone says. These guys helped me through some darkness. They brought light where only darkness resides. "Higher" and "my own prison" are instant classics to me. Don't understand all the haters....
Same here man. I'm a Gen X kid. They got me through some very bad times in my life. As a man, I wonder if it's the message of God in their songs. Could be.
This shit always went hard!! People are too afraid to step outside of themselves to look into that self reflection and see their true vulnerabilities for what they are. The truth lies beyond the fear and darkness and we all spend alot of energy avoiding what we need to go through to get back to that light
This album got me through my first overseas deployment in January 2002, three months after 9/11. Nobody will ever know the impact these songs made on me or how they helped a young kid survive in a scary place.
Just seeing your name and the words you have written tells me that you speak from the heart. I appreciate your service as well as all whom has served. I am 73yrs old an I also love this music, an understand why it's a part of your life story. What one can relax and relat to is what helps us better ourselves for the rest of our lives. Thanks again for your service and everyone that served with you. Always be proud of yourself. You will go far in life. I salute you.
This song helped me through some of my darkest days after losing my husband and mom 17 days apart in 2019. I can say that now I can hold my head up high! ❤❤❤❤
Damn I miss this era so much…..the music, the women are so beautiful and natural, the friendships…..everyone just seemed to love life more back then. Nostalgia, one hell of a drug.
I think Mark Tremonti's voice singing in that background is even better. That's what grabbed me about this song! And the harmonies with both of their great voices!
I have battled my own demons for years and was at the point of where I thought I would never go until I found this song. Scott Stapp literally saved my life with this song, and I could never thank Creed enough for everything that they've done for me and my family.
I know Creed is originally from Tallahassee and used to live just down the road from where I grew up. I stop by that very house every day on my way back from work. I've formed a very good relationship with the new owners. They never knew the history behind the home until I reminded them of the song "With Arms Wide Open". They were humble enough to let me into their home where we would occasionally drink a cold Budlight and listen to some of the songs that we imagined were written in that very same room.
I don't get why everyone hates on Creed. I've heard a lot of negative things about Scott and I think with his recent behavior and occurrences he might utilize the second chance he has been given, I've always loved the bands music! Since I was a kid I've had respect for the band and have jammed to them lol. Anyway I hope they get back together and I wish people would just Keep Calm and listen to Creed.
Exactly...but...people are stupid and will hate on anything...especially where there's a positive message involved. Whatever Scott went through or did is his personal business and unless he personally caused chaos in the smack talker's lives...there's no reason for the hate. Don't like the band...don't friggin listen to them...that simple. Creed still lifts me up...
I requested this song to be played at my fathers funeral last February when his life was taken from cancer…. The crazy part is the moment I walked through the doors to the funeral home this song started playing… it wasn’t playing already.. the moment I walked in it started playing… this song will always have a place in my heart.. even before my dads passing I grew up around rock..
As a troubled teenager I used to listen to this song and loved the 'darkness' of it. Today, I really understand the message of this song and I feel so blessed that He has pulled me out of the darkness and helped me accept Christ. In faith I look forward to meet Him! GBY for adressing such an important message in this song, please never hesitate to accept Jesus as your Saviour!
I miss the old 90s music. It takes you to a place that only that type of music can bring you to. Truly blessed I was a teenager in the 90s when we had music like this.
This song hit me..i never understood what it meant... As a teenager i was dark and dug my own hole.. , now I'm 21 and gave myself to Christ and understand this so much on a spiritual level.. Thanks Creed!
I’ve always loved Creed’s music even when others didn’t. My best memory is when my late husband took me to a concert to see them on one of our dates when he found I loved them.
You have read me wrong. See, I loath pop music, and grew up a metalhead. 1D, which I assume is One Direction, is not good music. Pantera, Metallica, Judas Priest, and FFDP is more my jam (pun not intended).
It's interesting how I've always appreciated this song, but the older I get these words cut deeper and deeper. I feel like I'm in a prison of my mind where the battle of good and evil goes on. Depression, anxiety, doubt, feeling I can't do anything right is sadly my norm and I can't break these shackles and escape the prison.
47 years old and I'm right with ya my friend. Your own mind is a terrible place to be in at times and can be your own worst enemy. Deal with it a lot... More and more daily....lots of hopelessness there...
People need to listen to the lyrics of this song. I have created My own prison/depression. I forgot to look up. This song reminds me who is there to rescue and save me. When my son became a father of a son I messaged/shared the song ARMS WIDE OPEN. It's a beautiful song. Creed is awesome. They sing about life... just listen
Got my friend this album on CD for his birthday last year. He laughed and never listened to it. I’ll never understand how you could hate on this incredible band!!!!!
As a suicide survivor, this song cuts me deep. I've always loved this song. Always will love Creed! My struggles with my mental health illnesses are a beast but the lyrics...damn! Soothes my soul for real
It is an amazing song. A mans own personal hell that he created for himself. And the realization that no one can help you, and that youve done this to yourself. Its an immensely introspective song, i assume he wrote when we was doing drugs, which makes it even more powerful. Love Creed.
I had the privilege to attend 2 Creed concerts in the early days. It was the best concert to date! I loved every minute ❤ So happy to hear that y’all reunited to perform on a cruise. We missed our original Creed so much! Keep rockin’ 🤟🏻🫶🏼
It saddens me that this music is no longer being made. How can rock just disappear so quickly? It takes talent to write, compose, and play instruments and make a hit song. Nowadays, most music is just a track with someone rapping or maybe singing to it. Rather sad when you think about it.
More from you guys please if you listening out there boys, give us something new, from all the real people out there in the struggle, peace from little old new Zealand
One of my favorites by them! The instrument composition is so haunting in those verses.. the sadness, despair singing in the guitars and bone chilling bass. Scott’s voice is by far one of the most powerful in all of the history of rock music! Just an overall powerhouse of a song.
The lyrics in this song, from start to end, are some of the best (if not the best) I've ever heard in a "rock" song. The lyrics use the power of symbolism to reference stories/lessons from the Holy Bible over and over (too many for me to explain all of them). By far my favorite verse is " I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison". The reference to the archangel Gabriel delivering the message is outstanding and so deep it gives me chills every time I hear this song. (this is my interpretation so that's all it is. I could be wrong) Awesome song!!
Very very..very good song....since i heaf fir firts time....still today....I LOVE IT i am preparer tje cover with my band in CHILE.....and to play in the street....
I understand. Life is a toilet. I hate it. But I keep stepping live by faith and try to do people right even when they shit all over me. Keep doing good it’ll come back
1. Not a religious band 2. You believe because your grasping for anything. 3. The devil quoted scripture? Well, Christ also spoke out against religion. Every religious person thinks they're not religious. You can't see religion until your out of it.
@@JaysonT1 It's clear that this song is about religious redemption. It's pathetic how little atheists with a bad life come to here with a bizarre interpretation just to feel good with their insignificant lives.
This song reminds me of my bro, who struggled with addiction since a young age. He passed on Jan 2023. He was only 43. I miss him so much!!! And think about him everyday.
I can't say enough good things about this song.Scott's voice is powerful , Tremonti's guitar is haunting and the lyrics are just poetry.Oh yeah , and they're not afraid to include our maker , God in the lyrics.I'll forever love Creed. Haters are just jealous !
Lyrics: A court is in session, a verdict is in No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross I feel the pain that was given On that sad day of loss A lion roars in the darkness Only he holds the key A light to free me from my burden And grant me life eternally Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time Should have been dead On a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) all held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) All held captive Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some We the meek are all in one (And I said oh) So I held my head up high Hiding hate that burns inside Which only fuels their selfish pride (And I said oh) we're held captive (I created) Out from the sun (I created) A sun that shines on only some (I created) We the meek are all in one (I created my own prison) Should've been dead on a Sunday morning Banging my head No time for mourning Ain't got no time
2024 anyone?
Yes still love it. Especially Torn
I literally remember the first time I heard this. Junior in high school. I was blown away
You know it! Song never gets old
Yes bro
Yup
20+ years later I think we can say Creed stood the test of time. Great music today
Totally agree and this song really explains today’s issues in our society.
We have all the technology to be connected but we are further apart than we have ever been!
Stay safe stay strong we have some dark days ahead!
Yes yes yes and yes❤️Amen
Oh definitely and I love altar bridge to.
Have you noticed that mark tramonti has gotten even more awesome with that guitar ❤😊
Indeed
This song brings back memories of my first home just for me in the age of CDs. So much hope back then.
As a Christian, I struggle with depression & suicidal thoughts. I beg God to take those thoughts away & only hope I don’t give the demons the keys to over power me. Jesus loved me so much He gave His life for me. This song reminds me I’m not alone,that we do face spiritual warfare but we also create these things in our heads. I’m guilty of that for sure.

Stay strong my friend
God bless you dude!
Hang in there brother- there’s light at the end of tunnel
you will never know if you stop on the way
Continue to Win with Jesus ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
I don't give a flying rats behind what the haters say. This is music that speaks to the heart. Still cranking it in 2024!
Take a look at all the musicians who ever trashed Creed and see them covering one eye, holding up devil horns, posing for pictures with goats, doing videos in bath tubs with snakes...
Me too love cranking it up
watch the potty language this is a christian song
I didnt know creed had haters thats wild
🤟🎶🤟
People can hate all they want..
But this album was one great song after another..
This album and Human Clay was awesome
@@simonealbertini5580 agree 💯
Um I think you mean Creed had one great hit after another.
I agree
My own prison was a lot darker than their later works, that’s why it was always my favorite project of theirs
I’ve never understood the hate for creed. They are absolutely amazing and I love them.
Tristan Vollmering most underrated group of the 90s .
Sometimes the trendy thing to do is hate a group for no reason other than people repeat what they hear from others. It has more to do with lack of self identity and wanting to fit in and less to do with recognition of good music. Same thing has happened to Nickelback, Winger and several others. It's no different than those who say terrible artists are great because again, it's cool to like them. I won't name any because that's my opinion but we all know those people
@@b1swoll273 Excellent comment.
They hate Scott Stapp for sounding like Eddie Vedder. Not the band
Same with nickelback
4/5 2024, I'm 70 and I luv Creed been listening to their music for years
All the hate they lived thru & we’re still here listening in 2024 ❤
Going to concert in November
Yep!
I've been a Creed fan since 1997 and I'm still listening to them in 2022
Yes
Me too. Don't like your handle. I get it! Answer this question if you want to. Why (I'm assuming), are Christians so judgemental, when their taught GOD will take care of it.
@@kennyhall2118 because they are lost too. Not every christian is like that.
The lyrics are timeless. Love Creed
Me too. I still remember when I heard this masterpiece for the first time. I was washing dishes, listening to rock radio station of my town (Enseada FM 94,3 Santos-SP/Brazil) and the opening chords echoed through my house...I stopped everything and picked up every note of the song. A magical moment...
People can say what they want about Creed but
“My Own Prison” is one of the best songs of it’s era.
AMEN
Talking about judgment day… choosing your sin over God knowing fully the choice you’re making. SUCH A DEEP SONG! ❤️✝️
You can be saved and still sin, nobody is perfect. Only Jesus was and is.

Amen
People don't hate the band is the singer has an attitude problem in real life which broke up the band band
No music band is Divine. Don't exaggerate.
I remember making fun of creed for years and here I am 15 years later realizing they were actually great
Same here😂😂
Dude , same.
im guilty of this
Man me too bro, it says a lot about their music, legendary.
Idk why people made fun of them.
I have battled my own demons for years and was at the point of where I thought I would never go until I found this song. Scott Stapp literally saved my life with this song, and I could never thank Creed enough for everything that they've done for me and my family.
I know Creed is originally from Tallahassee and used to live just down the road from where I grew up. I stop by that very house every day on my way back from work.

2023 I just turned 32 Sept 25 2023 and this band is a legend to my childhood
Forever Rest in Peace, Danny.
Still listening ...real music lovers understand creed
Best music lve listened to in year🐻
LOL
Poetry lovers, souls lovers, true emotions lovers, justice lovers, true art lovers, words lovers, God lovers, they all love creed ^^
I requested this song to be played at my fathers funeral last February when his life was taken from cancer…. The crazy part is the moment I walked through the doors to the funeral home this song started playing… it wasn’t playing already.. the moment I walked in it started playing… this song will always have a place in my heart.. even before my dads passing I grew up around rock..
So sorry for your loss! Powerful, emotional song. Blessings!
Same here but for my husband . Also snuff by Cory taylor...my husband passed from cancer too.
🙏♥️
I was raised on that music 🎶😎🏄🤙
Dude…
I have always loved Creed.
Creed is one of the best bands ever been.
This song just hits different when you can relate to the lyrics.
Amen brother. I can relate also.
Absolute facts, praise God. 🙏🙌
I agree. 1 million %
🙏🏼
Amen
As a troubled teenager I used to listen to this song and loved the 'darkness' of it. Today, I really understand the message of this song and I feel so blessed that He has pulled me out of the darkness and helped me accept Christ. In faith I look forward to meet Him! GBY for adressing such an important message in this song, please never hesitate to accept Jesus as your Saviour!
Well done MK.🙏🎵
Amen 🙏 my friend
This group brought alot of souls to Christ
I feel the same way
🙏 Amen ❤
I miss the old 90s music. It takes you to a place that only that type of music can bring you to. Truly blessed I was a teenager in the 90s when we had music like this.
One of the best bands of my childhood. So nostalgic, beautiful, and slept on,/hated for nothing. Creed was and always will be amazing❤
This song hit me..i never understood what it meant... As a teenager i was dark and dug my own hole.. , now I'm 21 and gave myself to Christ and understand this so much on a spiritual level.. Thanks Creed!
Amen! All praises to Christ, our Savior
Hallelujah this song is so deep and heart felt
Whoo!! I ain't the only one. Happy to see someone with the same spiritual eyes. Grow in christ brother
AMEN! Welcome to the best family there ever was and will be.
Love it ! It's deep . God bless you .
Now this is real music
2023, ouvido essa obra de arte, Eterno Creed
I’ve always loved Creed’s music even when others didn’t. My best memory is when my late husband took me to a concert to see them on one of our dates when he found I loved them.
Wow that's awesome.
A great memory.
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support🤟🏻🤟🏻❤️you have a wonderful day ahead ❤️🌺🎸🎸
One of my favorite songs since I was a kid. These guys really didn't deserve the hate that was heaped on them.
If anything now the internets is bringing them back
Exactly. Creed and Pearl Jam sound nothing alike. Creed was better though
🎉@@proskatersf90
311 and Limp bizkit beg to differ
Literally discovered Creed yesterday, and will be listening to more
Did you grow up in Cuba or are you pretty young?
I grew up in Canada, and I’m over 20. I just never came across them
@@cot1579
I'm almost 40 and Creed were on the radio as much as 1D back in the day
You have read me wrong. See, I loath pop music, and grew up a metalhead. 1D, which I assume is One Direction, is not good music. Pantera, Metallica, Judas Priest, and FFDP is more my jam (pun not intended).
@@cot1579 check out alter bridge, gojira, jinger.
This band got me thru a bunch of bad times. Music from the heart. Love them.
Talk shit in front of your friends but u know u love this song just like the rest of us.
i fucking LOVE this song bro
hate Creed all you want, this was one of the best tracks they ever made.
I concur
@@Scorpion-vh8lj everyone is entitled to their own opinion
Overcome....
Totally.agreed
@@Scorpion-vh8lj if you don’t like creed or this song then you are a tool bud
It's interesting how I've always appreciated this song, but the older I get these words cut deeper and deeper. I feel like I'm in a prison of my mind where the battle of good and evil goes on. Depression, anxiety, doubt, feeling I can't do anything right is sadly my norm and I can't break these shackles and escape the prison.
Keep your head up and don’t let your negativity consume you. Things can only get better for you when everything has fallen apart.. be strong my guy!!
Your know how and inner strength is with in yourself, dont question it.. Be the one to rise when no one else will.
Turn to the Lord Jesus, he's our only hope.
47 years old and I'm right with ya my friend. Your own mind is a terrible place to be in at times and can be your own worst enemy. Deal with it a lot... More and more daily....lots of hopelessness there...
Listening on a Sunday morning. October 1st, 2023. Good music never grows old. And love you, Scott Stapp.
Songs like these never die, they just get better with time 🔥
People need to listen to the lyrics of this song. I have created My own prison/depression. I forgot to look up. This song reminds me who is there to rescue and save me. When my son became a father of a son I messaged/shared the song ARMS WIDE OPEN. It's a beautiful song. Creed is awesome. They sing about life... just listen
This song reminds me of my beautiful 5month old son that passed away. I wish I could hug and kiss him every day.
@@andreastratman1034 I'm so, so sorry!
Means in our lyt we committed mistakes, that's D theme of this songs,, maybe some brilliant ideas maybe... Hehehe
@@andreastratman1034 so so sorry! Hugs!
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support🤟🏻❤️yoh have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻❤️🌺🌺🎸
Got my friend this album on CD for his birthday last year. He laughed and never listened to it. I’ll never understand how you could hate on this incredible band!!!!!
I'm 52 and seen these guys live a few times, excellent band, haters don't appreciate what Creed stands for- fuck 'em
As a suicide survivor, this song cuts me deep. I've always loved this song. Always will love Creed! My struggles with my mental health illnesses are a beast but the lyrics...damn! Soothes my soul for real
Nice pun, suicide survivor, cuts deep, very nice
@@benchristoit1299 not deep enough
We the meek are all and one
glad you made it
I hope I can find that
One of the best songs in history
InspireMeSkinny lol
It is an amazing song. A mans own personal hell that he created for himself. And the realization that no one can help you, and that youve done this to yourself. Its an immensely introspective song, i assume he wrote when we was doing drugs, which makes it even more powerful. Love Creed.
SynchronizedConsciousness you are so right
I had the privilege to attend 2 Creed concerts in the early days. It was the best concert to date! I loved every minute ❤
So happy to hear that y’all reunited to perform on a cruise.
We missed our original Creed so much!
Keep rockin’ 🤟🏻🫶🏼
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support🤟🏻🤟🏻❤️you have a wonderful day ahead ❤️🌺🎸🎸🎸
Creed is definitely one of my favorite bands period
2021 still better than most music today!!
I agree 👍
Offcourse ...
For sure! It is 🤘🏻
2022! And forever
It saddens me that this music is no longer being made. How can rock just disappear so quickly? It takes talent to write, compose, and play instruments and make a hit song. Nowadays, most music is just a track with someone rapping or maybe singing to it. Rather sad when you think about it.
2020 anyone?
i do
I do
Brazil
I just want to die 😭💔
Definitely, forever a Creed fan
More from you guys please if you listening out there boys, give us something new, from all the real people out there in the struggle, peace from little old new Zealand
It's a great and terrible thing to stand before God.
"I cry out to God seeking only His Decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison,"
Tooly Pantera gods have nothing to with your actions
@@darooster5787 um, we already know that, hence the "I"ve created my own prison"...
It's Heather Michelle then don’t cry out to god. Examine your own actions
@@darooster5787 We cry out to God for strength, forgiveness.
It's Heather Michelle how that work explain to me
People shit on this band alot, but this song is a total jam that still sounds good today.
+PaulTurbo a lot. Cheek your privilege.
no band today can touch them.
ok that great
my issue with this band is the way Scott sounds too much like Eddie Vedder.
PaulTurbo Shit on it? How come
One of my favorites by them! The instrument composition is so haunting in those verses.. the sadness, despair singing in the guitars and bone chilling bass.
Scott’s voice is by far one of the most powerful in all of the history of rock music!
Just an overall powerhouse of a song.
Creed ROCKS period.
In these dark times of isolation and fear, especially being alone with dark memories and stress, this one hits too close to home.
Same here bro.. it’s why I keep coming back to hear this gem 💎
All too real... Hope you are doing well.
The lyrics in this song, from start to end, are some of the best (if not the best) I've ever heard in a "rock" song. The lyrics use the power of symbolism to reference stories/lessons from the Holy Bible over and over (too many for me to explain all of them). By far my favorite verse is " I cry out to God Seeking only his decision Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison". The reference to the archangel Gabriel delivering the message is outstanding and so deep it gives me chills every time I hear this song. (this is my interpretation so that's all it is. I could be wrong) Awesome song!!
I Couldn't Have Explained This Song Any Better ‼️👍
I think that is it exactly !
Very very..very good song....since i heaf fir firts time....still today....I LOVE IT i am preparer tje cover with my band in CHILE.....and to play in the street....
Exactly. My favorite part as well. People don’t understand the lyrics. Unable to understand the analogy and symbolism. Rock on!!
Amen! All glory, honor, and praise be to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
I love that everyone loves creed now
Playing guitar has new meaning of success love and compassion
This song so powerful in my life .... Regret .... living in fear consumed by sadness, pain and anger. Love Creed so much
Saved my life.
I understand. Life is a toilet. I hate it. But I keep stepping live by faith and try to do people right even when they shit all over me. Keep doing good it’ll come back
I Love you you and it's ok! Only he holds the key!! Please take care!
@@ThatGirlUOB asrrdur
Not at all
This song makes a believer out of someone who stopped believing. Thanks Creed.
1. Not a religious band
2. You believe because your grasping for anything.
3. The devil quoted scripture? Well, Christ also spoke out against religion. Every religious person thinks they're not religious. You can't see religion until your out of it.
@@JaysonT1 lol
@@JaysonT1 You seem awfully invested in this persons experience.
@@JaysonT1 It's clear that this song is about religious redemption. It's pathetic how little atheists with a bad life come to here with a bizarre interpretation just to feel good with their insignificant lives.
@@manoelmartinsjr4119 "insignifcant lives"? There's the christian self-righteousness we've all come to enjoy.
My dad passed this yesterday, this song will live on
This song reminds me of my bro, who struggled with addiction since a young age. He passed on Jan 2023. He was only 43. I miss him so much!!! And think about him everyday.
Creed. Never stop loving them with the love of Christ
Yes brother. This is the end days
Why have to go there. Life is so much easier when it's not so political
@@chicoharper6711 so you want easy?
They're not a religious band.
@@JaysonT1 I thought they were a christian band too... Then the great awakening happened.
Rest In Peace David C. Albecht February 28, 1998. 🙏
Hello my friend we meet again here in 2024
I can't say enough good things about this song.Scott's voice is powerful , Tremonti's guitar is haunting and the lyrics are just poetry.Oh yeah , and they're not afraid to include our maker , God in the lyrics.I'll forever love Creed. Haters are just jealous !
I’m 21 and every time I hear creed I break down into tears it’s so heartfelt a truly beautiful band
"I hear a thunder in the distance, see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss" .....CHILLS.....
Old School Angst... this what music was born of, pain & CELEBRATION at times intertwining❤😂
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here. Thanks for your love and support🤟🏻❤️yoh have a wonderful day ahead 🤟🏻🤟🏻❤️🌺🌺🎸
haters gona hate. Creed straight legends.
His voice is so amazing
YES IT IS!!
Nah, he's just copying the king
this is my favorite song by creed rock on
It's really good, love it as well
There's so much unintended emotion in this song. Always crank this on the job
mike benjamin Oh Yasss!
illusion of that album is my favorite
All of human clay is my favorite.
Still to this day, I'll sing the wrong lyrics to this song, and love every second of it 🤘
We had a DVD back in the day that had all their music videos on it. Crazy watching these videos almost 15 years later.
Lyrics:
A court is in session, a verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today
Just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale
The cage made of steel
Screams fill the room
Alone I drop and kneel
(And I said oh)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh)
all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance
see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given
On that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness
Only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden
And grant me life eternally
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
Should have been dead
On a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
(And I said oh)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh)
all held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
I cry out to God
Seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
(And I said oh)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh)
All held captive
Out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
(And I said oh)
So I held my head up high
Hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels their selfish pride
(And I said oh) we're held captive (I created)
Out from the sun (I created)
A sun that shines on only some (I created)
We the meek are all in one (I created my own prison)
Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
Banging my head
No time for mourning
Ain't got no time
It's should have been there on a Sunday morning...not dead
This video is missing lots of lyrics for some reason
Will never forget songs like this from the 90's... the nostalgia is a melancholic sadness.
