Adopted since birth, raised in a heavily religious southern household, feeling like an outcast is all too familiar for me. I’ve dealt with depression and suicidal ideation my whole life. Bert and The Used have helped me through tough times many times over. After losing my best friend I grew up with tragically and falling into a deep spiral, followed by a breakup of a ten year relationship, I have tried to dig myself out but I’ve kept going deeper, now finding myself feeling so distant and disconnected, along with sadly a cocaine addiction. Finding this song is something I didn’t know I needed but am grateful regardless. I am fighting for clarity. I am fighting for a place in this world. We all have our battles, but we need to find our solace such as this to remind us there’s still hope. I love you all. The band. The music. The people reading this also fighting the fight. Stand strong. We can conquer.
Very sure this song is super relatable to most of us right now, I see you and I’m sending you all the virtual hugs 🤗 Thank you The Used for motivating me to pick myself back up time and time again ❤
they were also quite different to this, as an old fan from that time, I honestly haven't listened to them in about a decade, and just came back out of random curiosity
Loved the video! Love this song. I think they put it last on the album for a reason. The whole album is about how you've struggled with fighting your demons and became your own worst enemy in doing so. You reminisce on how you used to be before all the damage. And at your lowest, you feel too far gone to ever be saved. When you're about to give up completely (yesterday I woke up wanting to die), you find a reason to save yourself. You see a glimmer of your worth (in the cracks of the pavement). The Used will always be my favorite band. They tell stories and convey how so many of us feel inside. They represent those of us left behind by society. This album is one of their best. ❤️
I've been struggling so much since last year to this day, and seriously this song saved me. This album, this band always have been there for me, but these song gave me the strength to keep moving. Thank you The Used for not giving up on me. 😭🖤 Ps. LOVED the video!
Holy shit, amazing video!!! Have listened to this band since the beginning... one of favorite bands... even saw them live. ❤ thank you Bert for your lyrics.
I used to love this band for years, but they turn even better with time and never miss a chance to amaze me. There's not enough positivity in the music industry and this song is totally accurate and speak to all of us, you can be happy in the dirt and sad in the silk, so happiness is a choice, I'm trying to learn this lesson to cure my depression and this song is on point. Vive The Used ! 🎉
De buenas a primeras me queda decir que ésta canción me salvó la vida, verlos en Chile en febrero 29 fue el mejor regalo de este verano espero que vuelvan porque ese día estaré en cancha, nunca dejes de tocar "Giving Up" en vivo, cuando vengas de nuevo a Chile me verás llorar cantando "Giving Up", por todo lo que he sobrevivido, Don't give up on yourself Chile!
This is such an awesome video! This song means so much to me, I'm sure there's a lot of us who relate to it the same ways I do, and if your one of them I love you and your worth not giving up on!! 🥰 It's beautiful how The Used is still making music that hits me so hard 20 years and going, I'll forever love this band! 🖤
My mom died 9 months ago, and when I felt the lowest I thought about how she would always be there to pick me up and how she wouldn't want me to succumb to the emptiness I was feeling. The grief was the only thing guiding me, and slowly like a flower growing, I've been finding myself again. This song always makes me cry since it's everything I've felt in this new place I've been in. Im not giving up on me, I can't and I won't.
I can't even begin to express how much this song has helped me heal. A year and a half ago, I was forced to address my 28 years of wanting to leave. Please seek help at the first thought. 28 years of suffering is too long.
When I was younger The Used saved my life with their music. And again now. I just ended an 8 year relationship because of infidelity he had with 2 women. I feel so lost in myself because of it. But, I'm not giving up on me.
I've been in such a dark place recently. Even thoughts of self harm that I haven't had in over a decade. I decided to listen to The Used on Spotify and came across this album. Holy. Freaking. Shit. Exactly what I needed to hear at the exact time I needed to hear it. I saw The Used for the first time last October and it made my teenaged emo self so happy. And here I am in my mid 30s listening to their new stuff and it's helping me out of some severe postpartum depression, this song specifically. And its gonna give me the courage to really talk to my partner about how I've been feeling. Thank you to The Used for being here for me since the early 2000s. You helped me through the angsty teenage years and are still here for me now.
First listened to them 19 years ago and they still mean so much to me. Their music has really helped me get through a lot! Happy to have just seen them in nyc.
Same but i feel I missed so much, because after there second of 3rd album i wasnt following much music in my life. Now im back and like woah and enjoyed this song glad it showed up on my playlist. I still love there first album, its still timeless. Catch me up please!
I can't express how much this song means to me. 2022 was a hard year for me, and I definitely gave up to an extent. But now it's 2023, the Used has released new music, and I am not giving up on meEe!!
Genuinely at the lowest point I've ever been. Its like nothing can make me feel as much as i used to feel. Music still pushes through all of that snd the used especially
not to trauma dump in TH-cam comments, but as someone who did give up a little over a year ago and wound up in a coma because of it. I really like listening to this song a lot, it reminds me to keep going, of what I'm fighting for every day.
I just saw them in Nashville, had I given up like I wanted I wouldn’t have been able to have that experience and it’s gonna keep me going 🖤 I hope they go on tour again for this album, to see Bert perform this album would be amazing. Thank you, The Used for being there for all of us.
Love, love, love. Thank you for this song, for this album, for all the music you've created since the beginning. This album couldn't have come out at a better time, when I needed something this powerful in my life.
This video is incredible. I love when The Used does videos like this, like Cathedral Bell and Blow Me and anything where it’s not a full on video production but just an awesome visual representation of the song and it’s meanings
Good opportunity to listen to the song again: Think it was overall my favorite from the new album! Interesting style for the added visuals, maybe a bit mainstream but inventive: I figure it's for music stations where a clip is of course needed? Not that I'm hoping to see The Used on television in my country... that would make my day, I mean my month, no I mean my year, sorry my decade.
Yesterday I woke up wanting to die Haven't seen the sunlight in some time Seems like all the plants around me grow to the sky All my roots are torn up, all my leaves run dry I'm not breathing unless it's raining Yeah, I found saving In the cracks of the pavement And I'm done with the misery Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies 'Cause I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me And from dirt even flowers grow In the dark night the moon still glows So I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me Yesterday I woke up wanting to leave Learning how to stand tall, looking up to the trees Maybe Heaven has a halo waiting for me Even fallen angels get to find their peace I'm not breathing unless it's raining Yeah, I found saving In the cracks of the pavement (woo) And I'm done with the misery Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies 'Cause I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me And from dirt even flowers grow In the dark night, the moon still glows So I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me I'm not giving up on me Not giving up on me, I'm not giving up on me...
The lyrics, the melodies, the visuals and the message, it’s all so perfect. This song is going to help so many people. Thank you for this
Just looks like someone vomited mk ultra everywhere
Agreed

Love vibe to u. We all suffering time to time
Remember, you matter! Love you brother, keep getting back up for more. It's worth going through the pain to feel even a flicker of joy.
The lyrics in this song are so powerful!! Not giving up on me.. as I’m continuing this weightloss journey! 💪
Love this song. Almost gave up on me a year and some change ago. So glad I'm still here.
Glad you didn't go through with it, your a person & you matter.
It's not the answer. Stay strong I know how you feel.
I’m so glad you’re still here. :))
I’m glad too!👊
4 years we bing chill
Very sure this song is super relatable to most of us right now, I see you and I’m sending you all the virtual hugs 🤗 Thank you The Used for motivating me to pick myself back up time and time again ❤
Everyone. It’s elite emo music with some dance elements if you tap in lol
I hope this band never stops making music!
How does this only have 300k+ views?!?! The Used was a HUGE deal in the early to mid 2000s. They have made a LOT of great music!
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺
they were also quite different to this, as an old fan from that time, I honestly haven't listened to them in about a decade, and just came back out of random curiosity
Absolutely adore this song. Been listening to The Used for the past 16 years now and they still grab me
Always believe in yourself!!!! Never give up!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎹🐺🤘

Music greatly heals. I hope you're in a better spot now.
Holy shit, amazing video!!! Have listened to this band since the beginning... one of favorite bands... even saw them live. ❤ thank you Bert for your lyrics.
Sending strength to anyone out there reading THIS. The Used saved my life, literally. Never Give UP!
I love this so much. Thank you guys. Forever. For not ever giving up. We are The Used but not defeated.
The best song that protected my last summer and this year's summer.
Heard this song on channel 36 alt. Rock Xm Sirius radio a week ago.. MADE MY DAY to hear The Used on the radio again 😎💪
I used to love this band for years, but they turn even better with time and never miss a chance to amaze me.

Awesome video!! Love the song so much I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out!!! IN BERT WE TRUST ❤❤❤❤
Loving the newest album. Glad to see more music still after all these years!
There is so much symbolism I this video. Maybe I'm just high but I see a lot.
The Used is my soul mate.

It's so mesmerising 😲 like shedding skn/soul negativity that shines on a dark cold day and just dissipates 👥

This makes my 2008 emo heart very happy. But also gives my adult actually very depressed heart some positivity. I can’t stop listening to this.
Yesterday I woke up wanting to die
Haven't seen the sunlight in some time
Seems like all the plants around me grow to the sky
All my roots are torn up, all my leaves run dry
I'm not breathing unless it's raining
Yeah, I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement
And I'm done with the misery
Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies
'Cause I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night the moon still glows
So I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
Yesterday I woke up wanting to leave
Learning how to stand tall, looking up to the trees
Maybe Heaven has a halo waiting for me
Even fallen angels get to find their peace
I'm not breathing unless it's raining
Yeah, I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement (woo)
And I'm done with the misery
Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies
'Cause I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night, the moon still glows
So I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
I'm not giving up on me
Not giving up on me, I'm not giving up on me...
