      the thing is. when i first saw the make a move video i was like "who the hell are these creeps" however after listening i was like "who the hell are these creeps, and why didnt i found them sooner?" the last time i judged a band wrong by their appearance was wasp. which ironically turned out to be my favorite band of all time

    Not sure if you will read this, but my name is Erin and you left me a voicemail when I was having a horrible time in my life, and I wanted to say thank you. I'm so excited to finally be able to go to one of your concerts, the message you left me really helped me get through.

      @nadie it doesn't matter how late my response is or not, someone was in a tough spot and icon for hire helped them that was the morale of what they were saying they were not crying, you coming in the comment section and trying to make it yourself look tough by trying to put someone else down is pointless, and is Neanderthal behavior.

    • @chaosbound6608
      @chaosbound6608 2 роки тому +8

      @nadie I care not who you are, no one in the world is "ugly", no one in this forsaken world is perfect not even you or me and to judge someone based on who they are or how they look is wrong no matter what way you may look at it, please don't judge people and think there just attention seekers, people have real problems in the world, try putting your self in their shoes once in a while, then maybe you would no what it is like to have to suffer real pain and anguish.

    • @chaosbound6608
      @chaosbound6608 2 роки тому +7

      @nadie All i am saying is please don't go into comment sections going after people when they say they are having a hard time, odds are they might just be and could use some help, after all what goes around comes around, you help someone and who knows someday someone may help you when you need it.

  • @jennamomenna5750

    A lot of people dont get that this song is about surrounding yourself with those who will help you out of your depression together rather than not move foward at all and instead always talk about how bad it all is but not do anything to change. This happened to me and though you love them, its like theres none of them left to love. It proves to be very toxic and theyre great people, but i much prefer to hang out with a crowd that doesnt drag me down with them.

    • @Enragedguy24
      @Enragedguy24 5 років тому +111

      "The song...was basically a wakeup call for me when I realized that a lot of my friends from high school, the only thing we had in common anymore was that we all hated life at one point and we would get together, as youth often do, and talk about how crappy everything was and how much we wanted to get out of the town we were in and all that stuff and I realized that I had nothing in common with these people except for that negativity.
      So, it’s kind of me saying, “Let’s grow up.” I want to be healthy. I want to be happy. It’s not necessarily a popular view at a teenager’s age to want to be happy and there are definitely a lot of pity parties going on and it’s kind of wanting to move beyond that."
      ... is precisely what it is about

      I think on one hand, it can be from a personal POV, and be describing a toxic crowd.
      I also think that, on another hand, it can be from a judgemental, mocking outsider POV.

      uhhh...stop. Use your brain. If your crew is doing something wrong, rationally wrong, then let them know. If they dont listen help or use tactics to get out of it. But stick with them, it builds character, after all they are human beings too. WE all make mistakes or do things wrongly.

    • @thewarrior4724

      And friends like making jokes and making fun of each other, thats what GOOD and CLOSE friend do. And please, always look at people below you, or even things less sentient than you. Like hearing the crickets chirp, the water falling in the rain, or seeing the conditions that people live in the Middle East - maybe that may make you appreciate you life more and mottivate you to uplift yourself instead of relying on have a group that "uplifts" you.

      You should believe her.
      Depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety, bipolar.. everything that makes you feel small, dismal, unworthy, etc. You can get through it.
      It's a struggle, but a struggle that is so worth fighting through, because once you get out of that darkness, everything is going to be a chance at a better life. But it all depends on you.

    Lyrics:
    We throw tantrums like parties
    We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick
    And that's just how we like it
    We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it
    Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
    I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
    And being lonely's only fun in a group
    It sort of loses it's charm when it's true
    I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
    Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help
    And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals
    If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital
    So now you know all my secrets
    I want out, I know I don't need this
    Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through
    The more battle scars the more attention it gets you
    Don't tell the others but it's all getting old
    I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
    And being lonely's only fun in a group
    It sort of loses it's charm when it's true
    I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
    Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help
    And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals
    If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital
    Yeah we should've known it would end this way
    What did you expect, pretend it all away
    And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
    I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start
    Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side
    Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive
    We know better now, we don't have to live like this
    Go tell them all we don't have to live like this
    I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
    Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help
    And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals
    If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital
    If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital

    I've had a terrible habit of being in and out of psych wards. It was always the same. I go in claiming to need help, I leave claiming that I feel better, I get out patient help, take my meds for a while, then at some point I start forgetting to take them, everything goes to shit and I end up back in the hospital. For me, this song is like me speaking to myself. I truly meant it when I said that I want to get better. The last time I left the hospital, I told this really nice nurse that the only way I would step foot on this ward again would either be in handcuffs or nurse scrubs. Thanks to this song, I have made true on that promise. It's been almost two years since I was last hospitalized. Thank you, Icon For Hire!

      Similar here, except it helped me get through the last few months. The chorus is written in my journal from the hospital. I belted it off key and without music while I paced in the hall, went to line up for chow, and between groups. This song was my anthem for the past 7 months.

    My best friend sent me this song years ago. I don't know if he just liked it or if the meaning hit him as deeply as it hit me when I first heard it. I've struggled with mental health my whole life - and I'm finally seriously getting better and seeing differences. It's not easy. Breaking the cycles is difficult, but worth it. I just confronted a family member who has narcissistic traits and stood up for myself. This is a major step for me, as I've always had confidence issues and severe anxiety. I advised her to get help and I truly hope she does. She says she will. I thought of this song and had to come listen to it.
    Anyone who needs to see this: It is possible. Life can get better. Please save yourself.

    Hey Ariel, you may not remember me, but when I was struggling with sh and sui under one of your videos 3 years ago, you asked me to stop. And comforted me.
    I escaped my abusers, was homeless for 18 months, found God through the kindness of others, started going to church, got clean and sober, went to NA meetings, got off the street, and I can say from the bottom of my heart, that I am happy now.
    Thank you. ❤

    "Trapped inside of my mind, lost and broken, seeking only to never find, the cure to this illness that eats me alive, but yet I still struggle on and survive, living day to day, never knowing when I'll end, but know I'm right here with you my friend. Can you hear me screaming, and bleeding? Can you read my words in that yellowed letter that you're reading? Alone we stand, but together we fight, and if we run through the darkness, maybe we'll finally find the light. After all the beatings and monsters we stand, the fallen warriors, still hand in hand."~Written by me..

    We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned itDon't tell the others but it's all getting old
    I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
    And being lonely's only fun in a group
    It sort of loses it's charm when it's trueI meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well
    Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help
    And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals
    If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recitalSo now you know all my secrets
    I want out, I know I don't need this
    Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through
    The more battle scars the more attention it gets youDon't tell the others but it's all getting old
    I mean how many more times must our stories be told?
    And being lonely's only fun in a group

    What did you expect, pretend it all away
    And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts
    I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start
    Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side
    Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive
    We know better now, we don't have to live like this
    Go tell them all we don't have to live like thisI meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well

    I wish I'd found this band earlier in my life and I wish I'd remember them when things start looking down for me. This song literally captures everything wrong with people who wallow in self pity all the time. Sometimes you really need to look at who you're hanging out with, who you're dedicating a lot, if not all, of your valuable time to, and you might find that maybe they're not as great for your mental health as you think, and subsequently you might not be very good for theirs. I recently cut ties completely (or at least as completely as I can) with a girl that I love because I realized she's been a major source of stress for me for years, to the point where some of my other friends and I at one point actually bonded over how much stress she's caused me. I didn't wanna do it and I still wish I didn't have to, but I did what I needed to and I honestly feel better than I have in a long while. The point is, don't be afraid to cut the really toxic people out of your life if you need to. You'll both likely be better off in the long run

      They have denied that the group is a Christian band, with Ariel stating, "We are very intentionally not trying to save the church; we are trying to save the world. We believe that if we follow the pathway of a typical Christian band and stick to only playing churches and stick to being signed to a Christian label, we're not going to fulfill the purpose that we are called to fulfill. That's great for a lot of bands, and I'm really glad that there are bands doing that, but we know why we're here, and we're not here for that."

      This does not mean they are denying being a Christian band. it simply means they will not be limited by their religion in terms of venues and image. They even say in that quote that if they "follow the way of a typical Christian band". This implies that they are indeed Christian, but are not following a path laid before them. They are creating their own path. :)

      I agree. it doesn't really matter. I thought I would just point out they they do in fact consider themselves Christian since people were discussing whether they were or not. XP

      The band members, yes. They do consider themselves Christian. But just because the band members are Christan, does not mean the band is. To prove my point:
      Ariel says - “Why do you care if we’re not a Christian band? Is it that important to you? It’s the same music, either way, so why do you only want to listen to it if it’s labeled that way?”
      Ariel says - “Why, tell me, do you get your own kind of music? Muslims don’t get their own music industry. Jews or Hindus don’t need a brand of music to call their own.”
      Ariel says - Guess what, dear Christian music lover, Icon For Hire is not exclusive to you, you cannot own us.
      Ariel says - But don’t you dare try to keep us in your little christian world and hide us from where are desperately needed. It doesn’t work. If I want to impact culture, I have to get dirty! Jesus did not by any means stay within the confines of the temple, and the Pharisees hated him for it.
      Ariel says - How dare you come up to me after the show and say you loved it but are disappointed that I didn’t talk about Jesus? What do you do for a living? Oh, you’re a mechanic? I’m so disappointed that you don’t talk more about Jesus.
      Just because the band members believe in God does not mean they are Christian.

      assassinfreak124321 She is saying, Hurts like help" it's one of her many clever plays on words. I believe it basically means that sometimes, asking for help can hurt just as much as the problem you need help with, or even worse than the problem!

      +tori161999 B-b-but this is just hard rock? Have they never heard of bands like slayer, anthrax, metallica or megadeth? Thats way more harder music than this, and that isn't even concidered the "most metal". I understand weird looks only when it comes to death metal...
