I've listened to this band pretty much since this song came out and it took me until this year to realize this song is a prayer, a confession, repentance. As someone who turned back to God in the last 8 months this song speaks to me now more than ever
"Take all my guilt, take all my pride. I want to know you sincerely. I'm on my knees, take all of me. I want to feel you here with me." This perfectly wraps up how I feel. God, please help us all.
@@shadorain what do you know more than anyone else 😂 you have a belief, which is fine, but to say that other people just don't know is so arrogant when your belief has 0 proof
MrSpinel I had some dark times in my life and when I listened to this album it helped me through. Help me realize things in different perspectives. What may have helped or worked for me obv the same can’t be said for others. This is my own opinion.
Even though ive come to find this album in particular really pandering(lyrics wise), the instrumentals and vocals matty brought were just masterclass in melodic metalcore.
i know that this song is about christianity, but the message is pretty relatable for me who is on struggle facing darkness and emptiness for 7 years on
That's the beauty of it. Event believers face those things daily, that's why we look to the one who can save us from that. I hope you're doing better now
yalls music is amazing. as a Christian that enjoys the harder rock, listening to this allows me to enjoy the music I like and a deeper message that hits on a harder note. keep rockin guys.
Really, who cares if they're "generic" as classified by people's opinions. MMF is aimed to do what they have a passion to do; write and perform music. Plus, Matty Mullins is a Christian in the band and this song without a doubt is about his love for Christ and I totally admire that. In essence, lyrics mean a lot more than the sounds of the song and this song was absolutely the bomb

I'd never heard this band before, but Jarrod Alonge has just done a parody of this video so I'm here to watch this first. Doubt I'm the only one either.
Everything is completely amazing but the vocals and breakdowns are just incredible!! The meaning is perfect. The fact that it even has meaning is spectacular!!
I love how people are calling this 'generic' when The Hollow is probably MMF's best album along with Unconditional. If you don't like it, there's the door!!
Still slapping 2022 ! Bought this CD at a show a while back they were opening for killswitch . Crushes in the car stereo. Way more than streaming it ,picks up every sound
The fact that he verbally and physically shows the blood shed for us makes me love this song a hundred times more. People too often forget what this song truly means!
I hate how people are saying how their new stuff is preachy and "pushing God", so is their older stuff. Matty is just singing about what he loves. Why is that such an issue with people? I'll always love Memphis May Fire and what they stand for.
I absolutely love Memphis Mayfire they have helped me reach God in away which pastors have failed. Thank God for them. Bless them oh Lord so for they can reach many more broken. Bless them with their needs and also wants according to your will God. I pray them abundant riches . Keep them close.
I remember being one of the few who rode around blasting it in the car before it had over 100k views. I knew for SURE this band would blow up as soon as they got the exposure they deserved. Vocals like that shouldn't come from a single person. =D
These lyrics are great if used as a prayer... "Dear God, I know I could never run far enough to escape your love. So why do I keep running? Keep me close, keep me close, God. Keep my head above water I need to hear your voice. I can't do this on my own. Take all my guilt. Take all my pride. I want to know you sincerely. I'm on my knees. Take all of me I want to feel you here with me I want to feel you here with me! Amen."
Nathan Sutter if you are interested in more like this check out Fit For a King, For Today, August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada, Wolves at the Gate, granted they are all different but all are metalcore with great lyrics.
Let's see, the production on The Hollow is thick, punchy and we'll balanced, the composition is generally better, albeit still generic to their genre. And the lyrics aren't so blatantly about God and Christ or pretentiously preachy as they are on Unconditional. Take the chorus, the words there aren't obviously about God. Sure, Matty probably wrote them with God in mind, but they can be recontextuallized to fit say, a loved one, a parent or guardian, or someone a person looks up to for guidance. Overall this song is about someone who has done wrong and is looking to good for guidance. Not about how amazing god is.
Peter Cino but there are lines in the song that obviously u cant make about a regular person like the line take all my guilt take all my pride no one can take your pride or guilt away if u dont believe in God u just have to face the battle on your own and better yourself that line alone makes it pretty much saying this is about God theres no way in rephrase it
Peter Cino and yes they were better sounding on the hollow and challenging but that doesnt always mean their music is meaningful and memphis may fire always has tried to be a meaningful band and while instrumentally unconditional isnt as good as the past albums lyrically it is way more meaningful and not saying the other albums werent but unconditional for me lyrically surpassed challenger and the hollow
I mean it doesn't really matter what the singer intended the song to be about, it's mainly just how you interpret the song yourself. The God thing shouldn't be an issue for people who use that as a reason to dislike Unconditional. I just don't like Unconditional because the music wasn't up to par with who Memphis May Fire is. I think along the way (and this is evident in Challenger too) they're writing abilities took a hit, especially in their choruses. I haven't really liked a chorus of theirs since The Hollow, give or take a few songs on Challenger. That and Unconditional to me is like Challenger Part 2, meaning they sound the same to me. But this is just my opinion
Man... Everyone says that this sounds the same as other bands on RiseRecords. I agree to that statement only because it's a genre. All country music sounds the same. All rap sounds the same, so, in turn, of course this is going to sound the same as other post hardcore/metal core bands. BUT... once you listen to them enough, you learn their differences! :D \m/
awyeah theres a future for us metal head, let them fools be ignorant on what real music is, maybe they will understanf one day, you should listen to some Between the buried and me and Vildhjerta , have a good day / week / life
Who cares if a band is "generic"? As long as the music is good, then that's all that matters. I don't even think these guys are that generic, and I fucking love Matty's voice. Just stfu and enjoy this amazing song.
If they are "generic", then they suck. Their ep was far superior and Matty Mullins sounds like every other vocalist in post-hardcore today. Seriously, the post hardcore and metalcore scene has gone down the shitter, with only a few bands actually putting out good releases. Hell, the last record I bought that was post-hardcore was La Dispute and Alexisonfire.
ItsZifx, if you're referring to my comment, I mean their ep before Matty joined. I realize that music changes, but to me Mullins's clean just sounds like 80% of the clean vocalists that rise signs. He's talented, but I don't find his voice inspiring.
No, reading his lips yes it could be misleading.. What he actually says is "I know, I could never run far enough" Listen to the lyrics without watching the video.. All good tho!
The energy is this song is amazing! i can definitely see the message of spiritual loneliness he is conveying here. It's a very powerful feeling. I really love this band. :) (just discovered this band and Matty Mullins)
Why do people even listen to this video if all they're going to do is criticize it? If you think it sounds terrible, that's your opinion. But do you really have to bash musicians who are just trying to do their best to please their fans and give others hope?
This song among many others helped me with my depression when I was battling it and I want MMF to know they were among the other bands that helped me find God and have a closer relationship with him. Thank you for keeping my head afloat when I felt like I was drowning. Words cannot express my gratitude 🙏 ✨️ oldie but so good
Can everyone (that is a true fan of MMF) just ignore the people the talk shit on them and those that have a abandoned MMF leave how you feel about their new stuff alone just please shut up. Every once in a while I'd like to see a comment that explains the sorry of the video or uplifts the band. Not seeing crap upon crap in the comments. All I have to say thank you
Little known fact, this song wasn’t written by MMF, it was written by a baptist dude from london named Enoch, Enoch being religious i’m sure the lyrics are religious, i’m not religious, but what a great person and what a talented lyric writer

You’d also love No Ordinary Love then
100% I found my faith this year and this song feels like he's screaming for Christ and it's beautiful
KEEP FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT ❤ FAITH ✊🏽👑

Is it still?
This song was the inspiration for my first tattoo.
I prefer FFM but each to their own
Oh boy are yall gonna like they're new song then imo

If only.

I miss THIS Memphis May Fire.
Couldn't agree more. The hollow was the best album
MrShittered Sooooo true! Unconditional was decent, but sweet Jeezus this is soooooooooooooooooo fuggin good!
MrShittered but everything sounds the same by them
I think their high point was Vices but this high up on my favorite songs by MMF
+The1971Cuda1 Challenger is an amazing album! "Vices" is no doubt my favorite MMF song along with "Beneath The Skin" and "The Sinner"!
This album was on repeat in college. They dropped a new track that was pretty fire.
This album and Cudi MOTM2 were my albums of that time!
Their new album is so good. Relevant and relatable
"Take out my guilt, my pride..." gives me chills.

2021 anyone? a classic..
sup
i was actually wearing my sisters t shirt of them and decided to look them up
Yep
I Love this music
never gets old ! :D
I'm back for Matty's post about 10 year anniversary of "the hollow" and new album having this vibe, happy 10 years 🤘🤘🤘
The vocals man the screams 😱 bangs still hard 10 yrs later
I love how this describes my relationship with God perfectly
I'd never heard this band before, but Jarrod Alonge has just done a parody of this video so I'm here to watch this first. Doubt I'm the only one either.
I kno them but not much of their discography. Lol you're not the only one.
Mr Grumpyface ok me
That awkward moment when Jarrod's parody is near identical to the original and it's even funnier now.
Mr Grumpyface How have you not heard every song that Jarrod did a parody of? Their classic metalcore/posthardcore haha
Kaycee Carter I'd heard of MMF, I'd just never gone out of my way to listen to them.
should i play this at church n be like chill its christian music
yes
As a muslim i like this song.
I pray in 2019 for music like this again.
As I lay dying, still strong roots, not "popcore"
Literally just saying the older is better before misconstrued!
praying for 2020
Red - Declaration
Kill the lights
that chorus just popped into my head out of nowhere and i had to come bump this classic for old time's sake. absolute fucking banger
This song helped me get through a lot a couple years ago. Thank you.
every like on this comment make me come back to watch this video again(2024)
BACK AND FORTH HERE WE GO AGAIN
A great religious band. I love it. I mean, who couldn't like this?!
Everything is completely amazing but the vocals and breakdowns are just incredible!! The meaning is perfect. The fact that it even has meaning is spectacular!!
This song + Gym = Perfect
hahaha muscle up quick
the lifting for 1000lbs
Bro right about to hitting max reps lol
2022 and still listening to this masterpiece
Now this is worship 🎶 ✝️
Amen 🔥
Love Memphis May Fire so much I saw them live in April and it was probably the best concert I've been to, such genuine nice talented guys.
I love how people are calling this 'generic' when The Hollow is probably MMF's best album along with Unconditional. If you don't like it, there's the door!!
Thank you for singing the words that my pride has stopped me from singing for years. ❤🙌
Still slapping 2022 ! Bought this CD at a show a while back they were opening for killswitch . Crushes in the car stereo. Way more than streaming it ,picks up every sound
This album was so good. None of their recent stuff even comes close to this album and It's kind of a shame.
timeless masterpiece, that album is deep and dark
Thank you Memphis May Fire for putting out a powerful message through your awesome songs!
The fact that he verbally and physically shows the blood shed for us makes me love this song a hundred times more. People too often forget what this song truly means!
still here in 2024, who's with me?
Yes 🤘
Me
Accidentally heard this and wish I never did and.
Cool username
Nope. Just you
I hate how people are saying how their new stuff is preachy and "pushing God", so is their older stuff. Matty is just singing about what he loves. Why is that such an issue with people? I'll always love Memphis May Fire and what they stand for.
Simplesmente a melhor canção do MMF em minha opinião e melhor vídeo também.
Welcome to 2024, I still admire the dedication he had to this music video. He had to do some gross things...
I love this band so much, they're so awesome!
I can't wait to see them on tour this october
I just can't find words to describe how much I love this band, every single album and song
Bring back a good childhood memories
I absolutely love Memphis Mayfire they have helped me reach God in away which pastors have failed. Thank God for them. Bless them oh Lord so for they can reach many more broken. Bless them with their needs and also wants according to your will God. I pray them abundant riches . Keep them close.

Matty Never Fails To Deliver With Powerful Vocals. I Haven’t Listened To Them In So Long I Forgot How Good They Were

Learned how to play this song on guitar the year it came out, still bangs even today.
Happy 10th Year Anniversary to this album! Still in my top list.
Hell yeah
These lyrics are great if used as a prayer...
"Dear God, I know I could never run far enough to escape your love.
So why do I keep running?
Keep me close, keep me close, God.
Keep my head above water
I need to hear your voice. I can't do this on my own.
Take all my guilt. Take all my pride.
I want to know you sincerely.
I'm on my knees. Take all of me
I want to feel you here with me
I want to feel you here with me!
Amen."
I've been waiting so long for a band with this style music but with lyrics like these... this band is perfect for that

Man this shit slaps still
Gots The Sombrero Spinning !!!!!
It sure does
Wow, just... WOW! So fuggin good! I heard this for the 1st time the other day.... My mind has officially been blown!
still not seeing why people hate unconditional so much this is just as much about God as unconditional album songs are......
People just need something to hate, and when they get something new, they go for that.
