This song is actually supposed to be a love song between Mother Earth (Amy Lee) and humanity (Oli) and how basically we’re about to be past the point of no return with being able to save the planet from climate change and pollution, therefore causing humans to go extinct. Essentially neither the earth nor humans can live without the other
Essentially though, this song is mother nature finally giving up on humanity. It's just the one line where Oli and Amy sing over the top of one another. Oli sings "How can I breathe on my own" while Amy sings "You know you can't breathe on your own" Which I interpret as, we need the planet but the planet doesn't need us.
This song hits deep, the meaning, the haunting melody, the build with the screams, Amy's angelic voice.... They sound amazing together. Would love for a side project collab with Oli x Amy
really been excited for this reaction. the closest thing bring me the horizon has done to this one is deathbeds i think but i love how this still song follows the theme of how society is fucked- oli has stated that amy lee is the voice of mother nature and oli is mankind, and if you really think about it, our relationship with mother nature is one hell of an abusive one. the line "haunting your own house" really got me, and that moment when "you know you cant breathe on your own" isnt metaphorical, it's literal- humankind will suffocate and end up killing ourselves if we continue this pattern of abuse towards nature
This song and 1x1 are tied as my two favorites because I relate to them so much. Even though One Day isn’t technically love song in a normal sense but the way it’s written makes it seem that way so I relate but man it having that deeper meaning of being the relationship between Mother Nature and humans just brings another level to it. I love it. I’m so happy the guys are doing what they want to do and are loving it and I’m glad so many others are enjoying it as well. Glad you guys loved it! 🤘🏼😊
Fun fact: BMTH unintentionally copied some lyrics from Evanescence. Instead of suing, Amy Lee offered to colab with Oli, because she's a huge fan of BMTH
I love how this collab between these artists came about. This song was written from one perspective but I totally interpret it differently & this is what music is AMAZING! Amy Lee's voice is SO ICONIC & beautiful & emotional & so many good things! If you haven't heard it yet, check out "my voice" (or something like that) by her, it's powerful! Nice react guys!
I know this song is about something else but for me this would be me talking to my depression and the constant battle I been in with it for most my life I'm 27 now and still at war with my depression and anxiety and some days it gets to me and I feel like giving up and I have almost ended my life several times but I keep fighting on and trying to become a better me and learning to love myself again it's been really hard but I'm not giving up this whole bmth album really has help me and you guys have helped me alot too thank u for the reactions and I love your music the ep is amazing thank u again Ps. Can you guys do some Hollywood Undead reactions they are my favorite band some suggestions nightmare already dead coming home gotta let go heart of a champion

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 29. I've dealt with depression and anxiety since I was in high school. I've come so close so many times to ending it all. It's so hard. This band has gotten me through a lot. If you need anyone to talk to please don't be scared to reach out. I know how it goes. This past week in particular has been so hard. But we got this. YOU got this. Much love ❤
@@traviolipolioli9914 thank you so much really brought a smile to my face and I'll definitely take you up on that offer it be nice to have more people to talk too 🖤
Hey guys. Love the vids as always. It's a bit different than what you usually listen to, but I think you guys would like 'Little Lion Man' by Munford and Sons, or 'Chasing' by NF and Mikayla Sippel. I think you guys would like both, but as always, you guys do you
This is my whole mood lately. I don't want to go into the personal stuff but... I had goosebumps and had something in my eyes... Absolutely painfully beautiful
@@Spiritsmusicwa thank you guys. I definitely appreciate the support. I'm working on talking to everyone soon. I'm writing a ton. Meeting with a producer coming soon. If it happens and I get my stuff out there, I will be sure to send it to you guys. Mostly rap, but I'm also doing my thing with metalcore influence and maybe a ballad or two. Let me know if you'd be open to something like that.
@@Spiritsmusicwa like I know technically this song (according to Oli) isn't about a relationship between 2 people. But damn every line, every lyric just puts a huge lump in my throat. It's so haunting and maybe I relate to it so much because of my current situation (going through a separation right now) but the first time I listened to it tears welled up. Such a beautiful song. Amy killed as usual and Oli has improved so much.
just a fact, if you didn’t notice: Amy and Oli have slightly different lines Amy: you know you can’t breathe on your own; how can you breathe on your own? Oli: you know I can’t breathe on my own; how can I breathe on my own? this adds to the deeper meaning of this song about nature-mankind relationship. BMTH always come through with some poetic lyrics ❤️
Dude that honestly means so much to us! It makes us so happy that people dig our vibe and I really appreciate you taking the time to say that my friend
This song is the best one in the EP ! I hope you guys can react to Evanescence’s newest single “Use Amy Voice” and show some love and appreciation to Amy Lee 🤙🏼
We actually just shot a react for Ghost in the Mirror funny enough! Haha It will be up soon fam, thank you so much for checking out our videos and we REALLY appreciate you listening to Anchors! :)
Easily my favourite song on the album. It physically hurts to listen to in the best way.
Agree ny 2nd fav song on this album haha 😄 x
That's how you know it's good

Earth could definitely live without humanity though
@@australianwi-fi I am Legend is a perfect example for that ☝️
Essentially though, this song is mother nature finally giving up on humanity. It's just the one line where Oli and Amy sing over the top of one another. Oli sings "How can I breathe on my own" while Amy sings "You know you can't breathe on your own" Which I interpret as, we need the planet but the planet doesn't need us.
@@australianwi-fi 100% ... it's humanity that's ruining it all. A planet just for animals and beauty.
This song feels like you're experiencing something cinematic. It's has such gravity. I was left both filled and empty of emotion.
This song hits deep, the meaning, the haunting melody, the build with the screams, Amy's angelic voice.... They sound amazing together. Would love for a side project collab with Oli x Amy
I would be so about that lol

Totally agree! This song is beautiful inside and out!
Oli’s writing combined with Amy’s range made this the perfect collab. I love when Oli comes in with the “ONE DAY” on his verse, just his classic yell.

It’s so creative and refreshing to see this concept coming to life. Yet again we’re blown away by BMTH’s talent. So stoked to check out 1x1! :)
Same here!! 💙💙
same lol
I was expecting a huge ballad but after listening several times it's clearly such a raw and emotional song and it's perfect the way it is.
Loving the personality you’ve been injecting into these videos recently. Just two friends having fun listening to music 🤘🏼
Thank you so much Jonny! We really appreciate you watching man and we’re absolutely having a blast with all of these videos :)
The only reactors I love to watched ❤️
Thank you so much fam! We appreciate that a lot :)

Really? 😳
Glad she did!

Waiting for every reaction from you guys like😳😳😳LOVE your reactions. Also, that has got to be one of my favs from the album
Haha thank you so much! We appreciate that a lot fam and I completely agree so far!
Hey guys. Love the vids as always. It's a bit different than what you usually listen to, but I think you guys would like 'Little Lion Man' by Munford and Sons, or 'Chasing' by NF and Mikayla Sippel. I think you guys would like both, but as always, you guys do you
Hell yeah! We will absolutely throw that on the list my friend! :)
The end of the song really gives me Tim burton movie vibes, specifically Batman returns
Amy is the fire in this collaboration. Amy Lee rocks around the world!!
I can’t wait for more hope all is well enjoy all the vids
Thank you fam!
This is my whole mood lately. I don't want to go into the personal stuff but... I had goosebumps and had something in my eyes... Absolutely painfully beautiful
If you ever need people to talk to, we are here for you. We know life can be overwhelming. Sometimes it's nice to have someone just listen.
@@Spiritsmusicwa thank you guys. I definitely appreciate the support. I'm working on talking to everyone soon. I'm writing a ton. Meeting with a producer coming soon.

I have been waiting for you to react this one and was NOT disappointed😊 Any chance of reacting to more Evanescence??
Thank you so much Daphne! :)
We will definitely have to get some Evanescence on the channel!
This song makes me so emotional. Did not expect to feel this emotional hearing this.
SAME honestly.

Just saying this now, I'm subscribing before I watch the actual reaction, just cause we're in the same city lol. Much love!!
Thanks so much! Local PNW fam!
They Should make a VIDEO CLIP of this SONG!
This song is so pleasing to listen to. It scratches that itch in my brain if that makes any sense at all lmao
just a fact, if you didn’t notice: Amy and Oli have slightly different lines
Amy: you know you can’t breathe on your own; how can you breathe on your own?
Oli: you know I can’t breathe on my own; how can I breathe on my own?
this adds to the deeper meaning of this song about nature-mankind relationship.
BMTH always come through with some poetic lyrics ❤️
you two are honestly my favorite reactors :)
Dude that honestly means so much to us! It makes us so happy that people dig our vibe and I really appreciate you taking the time to say that my friend
Magic
This song is the best one in the EP ! I hope you guys can react to Evanescence’s newest single “Use Amy Voice” and show some love and appreciation to Amy Lee 🤙🏼
Sounds so Evanesence and beautiful. Amy Lee voice.
So phenomenal
The dude on the left looks so much like Aaron from blindwave. I can't unsee it lmao nice reaction booboos
You guys should react to ghost in the mirror by Motionless In White, love your vids guys and also I love anchors by the way
We actually just shot a react for Ghost in the Mirror funny enough! Haha
It will be up soon fam, thank you so much for checking out our videos and we REALLY appreciate you listening to Anchors! :)
Amy lee 😍 captivating
Amy is a goddess!! 😍
your band sounds a lot like ADTR and I like it
Wow, thank you so much! That is a massive compliment!
In doing these reactions, is there anything you've learned that you can apply to your own music? If so, whats the biggest thing?
For me personally I would say I have learned that keeping lyrics open-ended and not too on the nose is very important. -Sean
All the lyrics are true... we are on the verge of no return and we still fuck everything up..without mother nature we are nothing..
Shawn you look like a ginger metal version of my grade 12 production tech teacher
Haha I'll take it!
Spirits it's cause of your epic beard we all aspire to have
try Telekinetic by Starset, they're godly
next react evanescence - going under
Song is about mother nature being destroyed by humanity
Kingslayer?
We did that one too! :)
Spirits I believe the video is blocked on my country (Austraila)
Thai song proves that oli actually knows how to sing
F**k me, how good is Amy Lee?
Very good!
