I interpret this song as a band's statement about their experience in and after the corporate music industry. The record label tried to make IFH do stuff they didn't want to do ("They tried to water us down"), which eventually gave IFH courage to go leave the label and go independent ("Just gave us what we need, dropped us underground, that just sets us free"). The start of their independent phase was, naturally, a risk ("This been a rough start , been a rough start") but their first independent album proved to be a sucess ("From the ashes, from the mud, we just keep climbing on up"), the success continued ("Spreading like wild flowers"). And with the Amorphous they are prepared to "Go up in flames" and - most importantly - "down in history, as the ones who break through to find the sun". There are, of course, other ways to interpret the lyrics, but personally I like this one.
Red faced something similar until going independent. Not only do I suspect that they are underpaid, but there must be limits on their creative direction.
Yeah this sounds like a solid interpretation. I also think this song will give hope to any average person that feels like people around them are pushing them down and trying to silence them. Their potential can’t be destroyed, and the efforts to shut them down will only fuel a meteoric rise.
Im thinking its probably about the year 2020. Ariel said Amorphous was that feeling before new growth. The song is called seeds, which grow. There you go. Its not very complicated actually.
The genius of burying the 'seeds' part below the instrumentals, the fact that it's seeds and not coal into diamonds (it works SO MUCH BETTER), dare I say I DIG IT
I'm used to fucked up lyrics, so thought someone messed up the lyrics in the description, until I realized she is saying seeds alongside the instrumental part.
Yes, I was missing the signature pink at 1st, but she's grown as an artist. I feel like her hair has matured with her into this magical amethyst moonlight color.
Icon For Hire are amazing for releasing music right now. Even if people can't afford to buy the album right now, them releasing music online is such a comfort.
The new album and Ariel's book are probably the only manic buys I'm not gonna regret. BTW, the website is selling her book autographed for a lower price than amazon. Like, jump on that shit.
You mean two lines they have ready used in songs before? Up in flames the song and then bam bam pop for down in history and from what I remember she says down in history or a variation of that in several other songs.
Today: New album by AC/DC New single "Scarlet Cross" by Black Veil Brides New Single "25" by The Pretty Reckless New Song "Seeds" by Icon for Hire too This Friday 13th doesn't seem to be an unlucky day... Still, we're in 2020 so no one knows
They did - they tried to bury you, but look at you soar - literally best band on the planet right now. Every song is #1 worthy if the charts were representative of decent music. So proud of you both. Ariel - voice & lyrics amazing. Shawn - best songwriter on the planet right now!
I am so in love with IFH. Ariel, every song 🎵 you create is so precious and powerful with such honesty and vulnerability. You guys are so unique the way you write about mental illness and the struggles that come with it. My mental health problems will take time to get past, but I will grow past the darkness to reach the light. I am a seed. I am part of the ICON ARMY! #seeds #iconforhire #alternativerock #alternativemusic #mentalhealth #independentartists #independentmusic #strength #growth #light
I feel like sometimes Icon for Hire is ... unadventurous, and they just make yet another song re-stating the same thing over and over (eg. "if everyone's crazy, crazy isn't so crazy"). But then sometimes they get out of their comfort zone, and make something brave and new (even if it is full of references to old songs)... and we get an AMAZING song like this one! Kudos to them for being brave and adventurous on this track: it certainly paid off.
Icon for Hire's musical diversity never fails to amaze me. All the tracks we've heard from the new album thus far are just so different. Really looking forward to what other surprises you have prepared!
Been a fan for 4 years now. Love this song and i hope you guys are doing well.Dont give up making music your songs always gaved me courage and helped me thru hard times. I will always support you.
Little more the reminiscent.. look at their song Drugs. it's the same sound chunk. i played both of them and my husband asked if one just didn't have words...
Oh, I am LOVING the themes and motifs in this song ALREADY. Talking of uprising, resistance, and revolution through nature- plants and fire and earth? GORGEOUS. I really hope you already have an acoustic version in the works- the lyrics are too perfect to keep them off my writing and character playlists!! Who else can't WAIT for the new album??
Got my reminder set for 1! Been a fan since i stumbled on "get well" went to their concert at the tla in philly and been blasting them ever since. Even got my 2 daughters into them. Keep it up, Icon army for life!!
See I love the rock focused with electronic fused sounds involved. I can respect and give them nothing but love for doing their own thing and changing with what they want but stuff like this and their first album are just too damn good. Loved your first and second albums, this sounds like it’s going back to your first 2 and for my Personal tastes I might listen more often
Знаю два языка, как водиться. Русский и матерный русский. Поэтому скажу на первом. Это офигенно! Как , в прошлом году наткнулся на группу, так до сих пор и не отпускает. Спасибо, ребят , за новьё...)))
God this rock-electronic-futuristic vibe fits them so much... I am loving this album! It's great to see some new heavy songs! Keep up the good work guys! Lots of love from Brazil
I honestly relate to this a lot. I've always been a outcast but recently I decided to stop letting what people say bring me down, and instead use it fuel my future as a musician
Ariel, you straight up are giving my soul what it needs right as I need it! It seems like every piece you are putting out just hits as something that I need this year!
Just sit down, watch this and learn from IFH how to live when the world and people around you try to ruin you. You're the only one who can make the decission either to allow it or fight with everything you have. Don't let them or that demons that haunting your mind to make decissions for you or force you to feel worthless. Every life matters, even yours. You just need to open your eyes on that idea. That was lesson that I learned in a hard way, but the songs of Icon For Hire gave me the strenght to get through this. I'm alive. And I'm happy. Thank you for that. Now it's your turn.
Even though I’m heartbroken that my favorite channel on UA-cam, Unus Annus, is ending today, this absolute banger of a song from one of my all time favorite bands, makes it a little easier to bare. Memento Mori.
the message or whatever of the song actually made me think of bring me the horizon throne. altho i find moral issues with him, and some moral. i do like that song of his. and this did remind me of that. same theme or whatever. then i read this comment.
all i thought is the theme. and its cuz someone said something about the beginning and bring me the horizon. no clue what they meant. so i thought well this song reminds me of throne. with that being written, i cannot fully condone bring me the horizon. i will condone some of their songs i have chosen. that is it.
It's been so many years since I first found you guys and you still continue to amaze me, love all the hard work you guys put into all of this. You guys were the first and only band I've seen live and it was an incredible experience, if it weren't for the plague I'd be tempted to get out and see you guys again next time you're in Minnesota.
I love you guys. Found you guys i think.... I actually don't remember how long is been. I think it was right around your scripted release..... But it's definitely been a long time and you've helped through some very rough patches. I'm in one now. But I'm still thankful that you guys are around and still making music.
It’s amazing how much the power of music is can affect a person’s mental health; I found icon for hire when look up bands and music when my mental health was really bad last year in 2020 #thankyouiconarmy #iconforhire
I'm usually lucky on Friday the 13.
But never this lucky.
Damn.
Best Friday the 13 gift!
SAAAMEEEE
Same!! (And I love your profile pic btw!!)
oooooo yeaaah

Yes I interpreted it the same way so I love your analysis. Love IFH, they are unbelievably amazing.
Red faced something similar until going independent. Not only do I suspect that they are underpaid, but there must be limits on their creative direction.

It’s a shame I still feel like this band is our little secret
Omg yes they deserve so much more 🤘🏼🥁🎸
I loved her signature pink hair but I am living for this ashy purple, omg. Something to start the day great, so excited for this. Need my IFH fix 💜
Her hair is amazing right?! 😍😍 I'm all for the pink, but this purple is AMAZING 💜💜
@@francesann72 purple is my favorite color too so it's just, AAAA. She is so gorgeous though and the fun colors with her hair just got so well!
Hah! I remme when Ariel stayed over night at our home back in the day...our shower was pink for days!
Yes, I was missing the signature pink at 1st, but she's grown as an artist. I feel like her hair has matured with her into this magical amethyst moonlight color.
I think any colour would look good on her, she definitely knows how to pull different styles!
Icon For Hire are amazing for releasing music right now. Even if people can't afford to buy the album right now, them releasing music online is such a comfort.
Honestly contemplating buying it even though i dont like this one for that very reason
The new album and Ariel's book are probably the only manic buys I'm not gonna regret. BTW, the website is selling her book autographed for a lower price than amazon. Like, jump on that shit.
Can't afford? It's a fucking album, not a house
Ariel is rare. Got the rock and rapping combo down perfect
This album coming really gives me hope that 2021 will be better.
When will it release?
@@ishaanbhattacharya9405 The album is coming out on February 19th

2021 here aint any better so far
"Up in Flames and down in history"
Damn how do they even write this. It's awesome, Icon For Hire Songs never dissapoint.

I see why Shawn said this was his baby. The energy is amazing.
They did - they tried to bury you, but look at you soar - literally best band on the planet right now. Every song is #1 worthy if the charts were representative of decent music. So proud of you both. Ariel - voice & lyrics amazing. Shawn - best songwriter on the planet right now!
Never fails. There is not 1 single song by icon for hire that I don’t like. Thanks Shawn and Ariel. You guys keep me going
Recently, Icon for Hire has just been telling us to stop having a terrible year. And I love it
Wow, I’m blown away by Icon for Hire’s new album! Now I understand why the album is called Amorphous... because they brought their A game!!! ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️
I love you guys I wish you guys come to to Philadelphia Camden New Jersey
Stitched Up Heart, Icon For Hire, and Sumo Cyco would be a HELL of a concert line up
Icon for hire, paramore and eyes set to kill for me if it was just 3
I am so in love with IFH. Ariel, every song 🎵 you create is so precious and powerful with such honesty and vulnerability.
You guys are so unique the way you write about mental illness and the struggles that come with it.
My mental health problems will take time to get past, but I will grow past the darkness to reach the light.

I just LOVE seeing u guys go higher and higher, gives me joy knowing we're growing so much more! And this song is an absolute BOP
Wow, I’m blown away by Icon for Hire’s new album! They brought their A game!!!
Words cannot express how much I love this. I stumbled onto Icon For Hire by accident with Make a Move on Spotify. This song makes my heart happy.
Make a Move was the song that introduced me to them, too, only on UA-cam. 🙂 I got to see them live last year and it was a wonderful experience!
I feel like sometimes Icon for Hire is ... unadventurous, and they just make yet another song re-stating the same thing over and over (eg. "if everyone's crazy, crazy isn't so crazy"). But then sometimes they get out of their comfort zone, and make something brave and new (even if it is full of references to old songs)... and we get an AMAZING song like this one! Kudos to them for being brave and adventurous on this track: it certainly paid off.
This is my fave song. When I feel down I listen to this and then I feel like the boss I am!!
This songs is amazing shall vibe with this song for the night
That's called a perfect friday 13th: BVB made a new song, now Icon For Hire... perfection
For real
Yes
Icon for Hire's musical diversity never fails to amaze me. All the tracks we've heard from the new album thus far are just so different. Really looking forward to what other surprises you have prepared!

I love the play on words with wildfire and wildflowers. I love icon for hire's lyrics.
what a band and what a song
Oh damn the countdown has started. Hyped
being buried and then because of that, just grow stronger- that's GENIUS, and true
This is super reminiscent of Falling in reverse's more recent stuff, and its killer! love it!
Little more the reminiscent.. look at their song Drugs. it's the same sound chunk. i played both of them and my husband asked if one just didn't have words...
Oh, I am LOVING the themes and motifs in this song ALREADY. Talking of uprising, resistance, and revolution through nature- plants and fire and earth? GORGEOUS.

Words can be like seeds they either produce and flourish or they don't
I'm crying so hard. Not only this is amazing, but this is exactly what I needed. I am so proud of them
I so love this group,she has a great voice and says so much of whats going on inside my mind..
Знаю два языка, как водиться. Русский и матерный русский. Поэтому скажу на первом. Это офигенно! Как , в прошлом году наткнулся на группу, так до сих пор и не отпускает. Спасибо, ребят , за новьё...)))

This band can always help me when im down there lyrics are magic and true
I'm becoming a bigger fan of you guys by the day. This is a great song.
Ariel: Hello, Oli from Bring Me The Horizon.
Oli: Hello, Ariel from Icon For Hire.
Ariel: SEEE-E-EEE-E-EEE-E-EE-EE-EEDS!
Oli: THROOO-AAA-OO-A-OOONE!
the message or whatever of the song actually made me think of bring me the horizon throne. altho i find moral issues with him, and some moral. i do like that song of his. and this did remind me of that. same theme or whatever. then i read this comment.

also reminds me a bit of new Falling In Reverse music (ecxept better because they are Icon For Hire and they are the best band)
@@tacolord6764 i like some falling in reverse but i cant fully condone him.
Yay!!!! Hi Ariel!!!! Love you!!! Thank for inspiring music! Super excited!
What a thrill, I can't wait to see the video 💕

Much love. Been a fan of y'all's since 2012 or 2013.. I love how artistic the lead singer is!! 💜💚💜💚💜💚

I have had this song on repeat since it premiered 40 minutes ago. I LOVE IT!
Same here, it's one of their best songs ever! Their talent is off the scale, I honestly don't know how they produce hit after hit after hit.
@@telpteen I agree, they also are so great at helping you escape the reality of the worlds current situation
This song is so much better with the video for some reason
this 10/10 should be the opening song at the concert cause the energy is ABSOLUTELY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i love this song! it makes me feel like the main character in a book
