LYRICS:
It's like watching a rose just wither away
When beauty crumbles and decays
It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak
It's something that you hold, and hold to keep
Fall to my knees, God I beg you please
Show me just a inch of mercy
Help me, help me, I'm doing all I can
Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my present
Swear this isn't what I wanted
God, this house is haunted
The way that this could be, if things were a melody
And after all of this we've been through
I wish we could switch shoes
This life ain't fair for us all
My ears re-sound, with the sound of broken dreams
A hat where you would breathe, exist internally
Tell them to leave
You're coming home with me (right now)
Remove that damn IV
I wish my words could cure illness
It's like running a race with no legs or
Swimming a lap with no arms
The door may have slammed in my face but
The windows will heal my scars
Swear this isn't what I wanted
God, this house is haunted
The way that this could be, if things were a melody
And after all of this we've been through
I wish we could switch shoes
This life ain't fair for us all
My walls are built, and on display
I drown in guilt, due to dismay
Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me
Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs
I gasp for air and let this go
Swear this isn't what I wanted
God, this house is haunted
The way that this could be, if things were a melody
And after all this shit we've been through
I wish we could switch shoes
Well this life ain't fair for us all
![Plastic Promises by Set It Off [Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
"When beauty crumbu-u-uuuuuls," KILLED MY SOUL. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Set It Off is perfect for writing a dark novel.*Creates setting and character development while bobbing head*
+Sound Squid YES FUCK
Are you on Wattpad??
***** Yeah, but I rarely go on. That's all about to change, though.
Especially since my last story was a fanfic dream I had last year. Only reason I'm continuing it is because my little sisters won't stop bothering me about it.
Still... HORROR NOVELS, HERE I COME!!
Write whatever you want :) It can be hard sometimes, and you should never force yourself through something you don't like
***** Great advice. WILL DO, SARGEANT(is that how you spell it?)!!
Thank you :3 And I seriously doubt it, but since I don't know how either, then I'm gonna pretend it's right *nods* What's your Wattpad username?
How the fuck have I not heard of this band before? They're fucking amazing!
I know i only got into them like a month ago XD
So far my favorite is Horrible kids.
+Gotcha The Spider mine is MNE
The Otaku From Italy Haven't heard that one yet.
+Gotcha The Spider oh I really recommend It >~>
The feels when you find a song that relates so fucking bad
How about Drifter or Keep Holding On by Falling in Reverse?
My dad opened my UA-cam history and told me "Ai(my nickname) are you depressed?.." And i was like "I don't have to be depressed to listen to those kind of songs..."
+PhanTrashAi - mistake. never let your parents see your history. EVER!
Do you mean "depressed"?
+Nymfii Yes ^^;
***** I know what you mean though all my friends think I'm depressed now ;_;
I know how you feel. I was depressed before.
Mom: How was your first day at school?
Me: *sarcastically explains how shitty my day was in an enchanting voice with a British accent while **2:55** is playing in the background*
lol
😂
XD
XDDDDDDDDDDDD 😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG perfection
This song, I guess from the lyrics, is about someone who is in a coma or some other tragic injury and is about the fact that you have absolutely no control over it.
It's less about having some sort of physical injury or condition and more about being in a situation where you are heavily affected by its outcome, yet you are absolutely powerless as to what that outcome might be. What you described _could_ fit to that message, but there are a lot of _other_ situations that it can be applied to as well, and music is designed to have general themes like that so more people can relate to a song.
Cody said he wrote this song after hearing all the things his fans go through and he wishes he could help them
I'm looking at your profile pic while reading the comment, and it's hilarious.
michael tsai that's very specific?
Cinematics track by track is a life saver especially since it seems half the tracks on the alb are about evil exes and breakups
*CORRECT LYRICS*
It's like watching a rose just wither away
When beauty crumbles and decays
It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak
It's something that you hold, and hold to keep
Fall to my knees, God I beg you please
Show me just a little of mercy
Help me! I'm doing all I can
Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my burden
Swear this isn't what I wanted
God, this house is haunted
The way that this could be, if things would remedy
And after all of this we've been through
I wish that we could switch shoes
This life ain't fair for us all
My ears resound, with the sound of broken dreams
I had where you would breathe, exist eternally
Tell them to leave
You're coming home with me
Remove that damn IV
I wish my words could cure illness
It's like running a race with no legs or
Swimming a lap with no arms
The door may have slammed in my face but
The windows will heal my scars

I know I’m really late but this was bothering me lol
The lack of white space hurts my eyes.
"It's like watching a rose just wither away"
...

...
SHIT.
Ugh that was the reason I was addicted to this song
I don't know if anyone else thinks of the song this way, but it reminds me of a corrupt household, since my entire family constantly fights and screams and I have no control over what they do and say, but I'm too young to move out.
Idk, just my personal opinion, everyone interprets songs differently based on past experiences.
Exactly! Now that I’ve grown a bit and things have worsened, I suddenly realize how much the lyrics fit the kind of situations we have. Hope you’re still doing well there, stay safe!❣️
In the shower, I finally figured out why it's really called 'No control'
because when they were making this, the drummers couldn't control themselves, so like the whole way through they were just slamming the drum kit like idiots as Cody sang his beautiful song~
I'm proud.
Don't you dare disrespect Maxx by calling him an idiot XD lol
..........I feel sorry because you don't know the real truth but I won't tell you since you don't really realize it.
@@green-merc what is this ominous major character sentence and how many chapters are we into this book
I think some of the lyrics are a little off. instead of "present" I think it's "burden" and instead of "If things were a melody" I think it's "If things would remedy". Just thoughts.
Yea you are right
I have the lyric booklet, the videos right. I used to think that too though.
Bird Sandwich I don’t know what’s with your lyric booklet, but multiple websites, including Genius, have “burden” and “if things would remedy” as the correct lyrics.
@@catcactus1234 the booklet is right actually, I am not trying to start an argument here, but I also have this set it off CD, which comes with the booklet. The correct lyrics were present, and if things were a remedy. Here is my opinion, and its ok if you don't agree with me on this but, I would rather trust the people who made the song, instead of a bunch of websites.
Luminarah Olivares That’s the thing though- websites such as Genius are reviewed by well-trusted moderators who often have direct contact with the artists themselves. They do have credibility when it comes to the correct lyrics.
I have a lurking suspicion that James initially wrote the song with “present,” however during the recording, it was switched to “burden,” as they both rhyme and sound the same when applied to the song. I’m just baffled by the fact that people somehow hear the word “present,” because no matter how much I listen to the song, I clearly hear a prominent “burden”, with no syllable remotely similar to a “p” or ending in “ent” when he sings that lyric.
That ending chorus. Love that stuff.
I listen to these songs every time I can't handle school which means today and every other, also I love their music♥️
Fuck the school system
It’s “show me just a little mercy” and “their pain became my burden” and “ the way that this could be if things were remedy
Sounds like MCR and P!ATD had a baby
Robo_Junk No Set It Off is MCR and ATL's baby
SIO is far better.
don't compare the band to the other ones dammit
Wall Plug3D
It does.
Isn't it a beautiful baby though???
Anyone listening to this in 2016? And this is a beautiful song❤
2016 ;-;

Yeah. Also I love this song! :3
Yup.
yeah
I'm addicted to Set It Off now lol:coughallithinkofisCharaforthiscough:
chara u say? but then it fits perfectly with flowey.
Kailey Walden
Now that I think about it... It could fit both the Dreemurr kids lol
Mostly Azzy tho
Ketchup_N_Puns natsu's there every we're
etchup_N_Puns i know how you feel
It makes me cry
I could literally fuckin cry to this song...
I like when people make lyric videos normal because when they don
t you can't follow along with the words at least I can't
every single one of these songs describe my life
This is the way
Me: **Listening to the songs while reading a book**
Eko: **Walk's pasted the room**
Song: _"It's like watching a rose just wither away, when beauty crumbles and decay's"_
Eko: **Come back and look's at me** *Was that Set It Off - No control?*
Me: Yes why?
Eko: **Sit's next to me** *Scoot over I want to listen...*
Me: Bruh...
Edit: _2018 anyone?_
2019
1450
No 2020
Yo actually it's 1844 at -18 o'clock, but good guess
2020
God this song breaks me. My best friend has cystic fibrosis and I wish I had some control to help her. I wish I could take her pain away and help her. But I simply have no control
"The way that things could be, if this *were remedied."*
"Remove that damn *IV"*
*"The door may have slammed in my face,* but the windows will heal my scars"
There's a lot wrong in this.
Yeah they are so wrong
yet this is why it’s an amazing song
@@unknown-qk1dy The incorrect lyrics in this video are why the song is amazing?
Don't get me wrong - I love the song too, I'm just confused.
Thank you I couldn't understand what they were saying in those parts.
Also don't forget "but their pain became my *burden* "
Another one I just noticed:
It's actually "Show me just a *little* mercy"
remains me to MCR... 😍
Ana P IKR
Ana P It's to bad they split up 😞
yeah... 😔
at first it sounds a little like Cancer
what are u trying to say??!?!?!?! lel jk me too
Alex cx, Cody said it was about him wishing he could take people's pain away. He asked what everyone on twitter was going through. (Sickness, family death, break up etc) and yeah.
i think i broke the replay button, whos watching in 3098?
*Anyone watching from the year 69,420, after finally getting into Area 51 and using the time machine we got?*

"When Pewdie crumbles and decaaaysss...."
This is what happens when you can't swear xD
great I can't unhear it -_-
Sage Da Wolfy Cat Well, now that's all I hear. Thaaaaaaanks.
Dude! Have you read "King of the World"? That Darkiplier fanfic with PewDIE in it?
If your not allowed to swear just say it but while whispering
Their pain became my burden
If only more people had liked the video, then we would have had the magical moment of 7.7k likes when this video hits 777,777 views. It would have set it off for a lucky streak.
As a swimmer, I can say that I often swim laps without arms. It's called a kick set. You need to do your research set it off!
This song is still awesome though.
I can't even swim using my arms 😂 I just sink
I hate kick sets. I'm all arms when I swim.
same
TheAssassin lordy kick sets are hell, and extremely hard, so it fits :3
Lol. I was saying the same thing then I read this comment ...
Fav Set It Off song right there
Amazing Song
My cousin told me this song is about Cody's dad's cancer 😢
Yes Im stupid...

"its like swimming a lap with no arms or running a race with no legs." My solution: You can run with yo arms and swim with yo legs. PROBLEM SLOVED. Im joking, please dun kill me 0-0 I wanna live a few more days
I'm also here :D
i love this song soooo much lol
if my ears don't decieve me,i believe it's "the way that this could be, if things were remedied." not a melody. but, i could be wrong.
Just like "But their pain became my present" I think it's burden xD
Its Alexis huh.
***** *shrugs* i'm just saying what sounds right to me.
***** no problems. all's good my fellow commenter.
***** haha.
Not sure what's sexier between the intro and the outro like holy shit cinematics made orchestral badasstral
2020?

Good song
It's a little mercy not an inch of mercy.
Published on 19 Sep 2012-REALLY!WHY DIDN'T I FIND THIS THEN?!?!!?
this song is about jay easily killing me XD because there is NO CONTROL
+KumoriRaven XD
I love this song and i'm listen the song the 11/7/2016
I don't know why I think it's the start of the song but this song makes me think of beauty and the beast..........I'm going go now.
666k views, 6.1 likes.... Is there something your not telling me Set It Off?
I really want to make a duet out of this and plastic promises
I'll get on that lol
Is this a song about my life?
I didn't expect to find a pet named Steve here XD
haha
STEVE
hello
Darkness my old friend
I have the cd and the lyrics on it say "I don't need a tip in my fist but the windows will heal my scar" so I don't know which it is
Bark bark bark woof woof grrrrrrr
That string part tho
I'm listening to this song right, and i look to the right of my screen just to see an add that say's "chat with a therapist" even my laptop thinks i need mental help.
Ya know what, God did show me mercy.
Dear @promiinade , I LOVE your vids!!! Could you please make a playlist of Set it Off songs? Thanks. ^_^
Sincerely, Quackleen
I love my name
As much as i love set it off
This song is where my username came from and yet I completely forgot the name and couldn’t find it for a while
133+ So good video
This is so much like me, my broken dreams, my love life and everything ;-;
EnderGirlGaming relatable ;-;
Warning! Edge incoming!
SET IT OFF
How ironic when one songs says everything u thought for ur whole life
In order to believe the American dream you must be asleep.
I just wish I knew how to wake up.
Could I stop thinking of Deanmon? No? Ok, time to draw.
Sooo anybody know why this doesn’t have Instrumental after all this years???
I can never go through a set it off song comment section without seeing at least one person saying they sound like MCR lmao
Just so you know, it's "remove that damn IV" not "remove that damn ID" but other then that, good job on this video😊
This is Frisk after killing Sans. And going back to Toriels house, "GOD THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED." Or maybe just Cross!Sans. Please no anger from the comment LOL (Because I read the replies for poor Lucio. If you don't like Undertale then ignore me XD play it before getting mad)
Oh my god it is, also it fits Cross pretty well
Is it just me or almost all set it off song i've heard suit as an anime op
So why's this song called No Control?
My guess is the fact that you really have no control over your life. You can't choose what family you're born in, what you naturally look like, what genetic disadvantages you have and other predetermined attributes when you're born. "After all this shit we've been through, I wish we could switch shoes. I guess life ain't fair for us all", put in a general perspective, sounds like someone with a bad life who wishes they could switch shoes with someone who has a better life, but they can't change how they were born.
Basically he is saying that he has no control over this relationship (in this song anyways) because no control is like watching a rose just wither away, when beauty crumbles and decays. It's like having a voice with no chance to speak.
When you don't even need the lyrics anymore
Lolz it came out on my my bday
0:31 I'm pretty sure is 'little mercy' not 'inch of mercy' :/ 1:17 is 'i had' and 1:30 is IV and oh my some of these lyrics
And 1:17 is 'i had where you would blablabla'
Having no control
2018 anyone
***** someone had said it was about wanting to take people's pain away, im not sure if thats right but i think it is :)
This srsly remind me of Undertale. Good song, Broh! Love Set It Off
How?
seriously though. HOW
+Miss Bunny Chara and sans...I don't know...It just does :)
+Bannanasaurus Rex ^^
oh
My parents just saw that my UA-cam is full of Dark Things
Dad: Why is this there...??
Me: God, THIS HOUSE IS HUNTED!!!!
Dad: NO SIR, BY THE WAY WHAT THE HELL ARE MORTALS..??!?!?
Dad: PLS STOP!!!!
Me: I CREATED A MONSTER... A BEAST INSIDE MY BRAIN!!!!!!
could you make a lyric video of duality please
Yehay no dislike on the comment sections on any videos.
arnt you also on soundcloud?
i feel like song perfectly describes Sans the Skelebro
Maybe he doesn't have a compelling back story. The constant resetting of a time-loop where all your friends and family may or may not be murdered is most definitely going effect you. So, realistically, he probably does have depression, like Flowey, with his backstory.
I think it's "The way that this could be if things were remedied" instead.
any 2017 peeps??
it's *A little mercy
If it saids id it could be about lost love/ a break up
"ID"
