@@toxictophat711 They are AMAZING live!!!! I saw them back in 2013! I got their autographs on a shirt that I purchased from them. They are down to Earth and appreciate all their fans! (I have that shirt framed so it won't get messed up)
This is basically my fucking anthem. It reminds me that apathy leads to the same road walked every day. Bonus points for letting me know that we all have our own demons and not to judge people over a few minutes of interaction.
So sorry to you and your family for your loss. 😢I couldn't begin to imagine the 💔 you endure. I really hope that you guys can somehow lean on each other.
@@btappan88bro same! Is he glad he died? Or glad he was shown the song? Or both? I hope he was stoked on the song and not stoked on his bro passing. That would be heavy. I ain’t like my bro but I would never be glad if he bit the dust. Feel me?
I lost my baby brother 2 yrs ago. He froze to death in the woods because he went into a diabetic coma.😢 😢😢 I cut all my hair off in the 2nd anniversary. Idk why. I am so crushed. My hair is pretty cute though. It was all the way down my back and now it's pink rock short. I'm sorry for our losses
This song is many a man’s anthem. We all battle demons that grip us at our throats. A constant struggle. I’m here again, battling to save my marriage, my well being, and my sanity. Lord grant me the strength to pull through.
It’s an everybody anthem. I believe that all these struggles in your life have indeed improved and you are surely much happier than before. You deserve to be happy and I wish you all the best! ❤
January 3rd 2025. Yall have been such a blessing on my dark night of the soul, can’t thank you enough 🙏 after your dreams have died and the morning is the mourning.. where are you?
I totally forgot all about this song. So here I am, Jan 21st, 2025, after hearing this play at the bar, I'm listening to this again. I don't even remember HOW I know this song
This song was my theme in 2010. Went from seven figures to losing everything over a prescription painkiller addiction. Went to jail for 3 months and it played over and over again in my head. The lyrics' encapsulated my life verbatim. Been sober since 2016 and still come back to jam out to it. I'm so glad I don't feel sick anymore and have to try to take something to feel normal. I can't put a price on it.
Dude I forgot what this song was called but I would whistle the melody in my head and then I couldn’t take it anymore so I typed in: “rock music video where 2 guys walk through the desert” and it was the second result. Love this song. I used to listen to this and a few other bangers: “Paralyzer” by Finger Eleven & “Old Man” by Redlight King …(who took the sample from Neil Young’s “Old Man”)
I think of the lyric "Like it or not All I got now is today Tomorrow ain't here And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway" ..at least a few times a month.
If you’re hear from 2k and still listening after all this years you have my utmost respect.. because y’all have a real grasp of what a song is supposed to be about loving the meaning and of course the beat of it.
I absolutely admire the raw talent in this track and the video really hits me harder every time I watch. Bold message and don’t think God doesn’t notice! You’ll both be blessed! ❤❤
In my car with my Service Dog RN. This song is so inspiring as a now single female artist... Like I am scared? Haha. Thank U for making this song... 💓 Universe Is The Universal Language Energy Is Frequency Where Yall at Now 🤘🖤
I just spent 3 hours searching various lyrics trying to find this some because I've had the melody sick in my head all day. Probably haven't heard it in almost 10 years. Finally remembered it was a local band and found it. Still meaningful 10 years later!
I listened to this song and watched the music video on the home computer (lol remember those, old dell) when I was 10yrs old and now I’m 21 and finally finding this song. My life is fulfilled. This song means so much to me
Honestly, been hearing this song for 10 years now, and when I listened 10 years ago I had no understanding of the lyrics, but now I realize how fucking truthful this song is
wow you read my mind. I thought of this song the other day out of nowhere and hadn’t heard it in atleast 9 years so I looked it up here. The lyrics actually made me tear up, it’s how I feel about my life now.
Every time I play this tune on my radio show, I get calls asking about this song. One of my favorite songs to reintroduce to many people. This song stands the test of time. ❤️
I remember singing this to my entire cafeteria in 3rd grade 7 years ago. I heard my dad listen to this song often enough that I remembered the lyrics. And finally. I remembered them again. And I'm back. I'm riding one hell of a ride of nostalgia.
This was such a cool song I forgot it existed. Man the early 10s was such a good time, though not for everyone. Starting to feel nostalgia for it now that I'm in my 40s. Seems so much more different than the mid 2010s.
This song is an anthem for the days of struggle, a chorus of dramatic wrong turns and loss of faith now trapped in box feeling no escape. The thing that is so hard but really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work on becoming yourself. Cold shoulder use to cry- Cry as hard as you want to. I've stoppied crying, never to cry for the same reason again. Life is rough and people do terrible things to one another that is for sure. But ultimately you have the final say to what you feel. For there is three things that leave and don't ever return: words, time and opptunties. Value whomever values you. After all your dreams have died and morning is in mourning... What are you?
This song is literally the musical equivalent to being a failure and trying your damnest NOT to be a failure and failing at not failing. And telling yourself to keep trying, but knowing that you've tried hundreds of times before as has everyone in your family, so guess what's going to happen next? Not just the lyrics themselves, but the strain in the guitar that mimics the tension of anxiety in your mind and the beat of the drums that remind you of pacing. This song is perfect to relate to and quite vivid in its emotion.
I am half a decade late to your comment but you absolutely nailed it. I never considered the musical layers to this song but you are absolutely right about the guitar twangs and drumbeats. I appreciate this song so much more now
+ when Zack sings "i got a new low", you can hear the sudden drop with the guitar/bass combo, how deep it goes so when he says that, even the music goes into lower section. The entire album is a masterpiece.
"I can't help but feelin like I have so much at stake So I lock myself inside my head, and I just run in place So many directions, I don't know which way to go I'm so busy doin nothin, I've got nothin to show" How did they put my life into four lines
11 years later I still come back to this song. It’s helped me over the years especially when I lost my best friend. I’ve been right I’ve been left I’ve been wrong I’ve been left behind, I’ve been up but mostly down..
@@XxByePolarxXthat is very true, I went 2 years without talking to my best friend and got the call one day that he was gone.. one of the things I regret the most in life
This song totally sums up an overactive mind that is stressed out , and feels to stuck to do anything about it!! This the theme song for Anxiety and Depression
Losing your mind is terribly underrated. All our lives we are taught to be analytical, rational, goal-oriented and in control. That’s why most of us are forever living in our minds rather than in the real world. In other words, we’ve got our heads buried in our screens or lost in thoughts rather than being present to what is here now. And when you take a break from being in your head and look around you, your mind immediately tells you all the things that are wrong or lacking from this moment. It’s a bit cold. I wish it was sunny. I’m bored. I wish I had money/love/happiness. I wish I was as tall/handsome/strong/popular as that guy. Before you know it, we’re right back in our minds figuring out how to fix this moment. In other words, we almost never live in this moment because we are always trying to get to the next, better moment. But by the time we get to that moment, we will be too busy to really notice because we will be so preoccupied with getting to the next, even better one. In this way, the mind separates us from life, from the magic of why we came here in the first place. The mind is afraid of life, that’s why it’s always trying to protect us from it. So if you have the opportunity to lose your mind, I suggest you seize it with both hands. Don’t worry about what the others will think - they’re really too busy thinking about themselves and the next moment to really notice anyway.
Such an underrated song that got me through some rough times. Ten years ago, I went through a divorce, lost everything, and had spine surgery, only to end up staying at a rundown, roach-infested stranger's house right after surgery. My cat possibly died from depression. By the time my ex brought my cat to me, it was too late, and she seized up in my arms at 3 am and died. At one point, I was considering suicide, and thank God I didn’t go through with it because I am now living my best life. Stay strong and never give up. 👊🏼
I thought this was going a different direction, man, it really did a 180 at the end there... and I'm happy for you now. I'm so sad about your cat. This song is me right now and I feel desperate to get out. I am always right on the edge of saying I'm done. Not one more thing. Not one more day. God keeps saving me. I shouldn't feel this way. But I do. Takes everything inside of me to put one foot in front of the other. I feel like it might turn around soon, that God is taking me somewhere, but the bad just keeps heaping down buckets on me. I'm sorry, you didn't comment to hear my irrationally depressed drivel and meet me 10 min from now and I'll probably be a different person, happy again for a moment like I'm supposed to be. I daily wish it could all end. God says no. I pick up my cross and keep walking.
I feel this song a lot because I was actually in lockup for 2 months and you know a lot of depression has to go with it but it just it's a soothing real song.
I've lived the chores... and nope, not giving up... Love this song, found over 12yrs later... When I've been living it for 50yrs... Thank you... Lost track of repeat plays...
I'm 42 yo. I've always been kind of an outsider. My career isn't very successful; I have failed to finish my bachelor's degree repeatedly because of learning disability issues. I haven't accomplished most of my goals. I can't maintain a romantic relationship. I first heard this song in 2013 right after my oldest sister's funeral. She was the third sibling in my family to die. This song SPEAKS TO ME.
I'm sorry for all of your losses. If I had a way to fix them I would. But I'm in highschool and I'm also in a rut myself. But the difference between our two ruts other than age, is I CREATED my rut. I hope you can at least dig you're self out of you're rut.
I've been in and out rut's most of my life too. It's way too easy to look on the downside of everything (This world make's sure of that) But negativity is a habit we've all built up over the years, and of course we can't control external events but it's how we deal with them that will decide the quality of our lives... Habits can be broken and changed. if we change the way we see everything, & have a little self belief, I believe life will change for the better. This is what I'm learning, Happiness is all a state of mind... and once you get there you'll only attract the good things in life, It's how the world works. This is just my opinion though, all the best to you fella's. :)
I hear you there...I was in a bad way summer 2011-2012 I heard this song on a warm day in vegas and it felt like a bucket of hot water over my head...man what a great song...its speaks to me too...
I finally see that in the video no matter what you go through nothing can kill you. Even going through the struggles in the song, you keep moving forward.
This song was the song that played Right before the Dreaded phone call that i just lost one of my Best Friends/Brother from another...12 years have passed since the day you took your life...😢i still miss you😢 . Life is Most precious Gift one has. so i urge Anyone if your so low you cant no longer stand on your own please please 🙏 Find that one Asshole who just wont stop asking you if things are ok in your life and if they are truly Not Tell Them. Because they love you and want to help. Those that truly love each other like family will run through the fires of hell to make sure you come out with them unscathed Love is The most Powerful Thing we as beings can give to each other through love comes intelligence to Fight the things that try and Break you❤ So love each other before its to late❤
My sister just showed me this, man what a powerful and frustrated song. Everything from lyrics to the guitar hooking etc, someone else said "strain" and that's quite accurate. We're all tossed into life and some of us, despite trying so hard, keep failing or just feel inadequate and lost. I wish I'd heard this a few years ago when I was fighting against the darkness of depression and alcoholism. Be safe all.
Life is rough...not meant to be exactly easy. I been at my best and worst...and seem to find my way out...not easy. Music and animals have saved me more than most people in my life.
You're luckier than I. I am 29 and just heard these guys end of last year 😳 I feel like absolute shit that I hadn't heard them years ago. And I absolutely love them ❤️
And here you will stay, hunny. If this speaks to you, I'd guess you think different, and that doesn't stop. OH, and let's win year this for Kobe, yeah?
Sittin here listening to this song lol remembering when the boy's were little and would jam out jumpin around on the bed and sing it word for word now one's been graduated 2 years and the other will this year. I swear I just blinked
When i first heard this song, it was in 2011, I was actually doing time. I was listening to the walkman radio and I was playing Spades, that fun competitive card game. While the lyrics were so easy to understand and his voice is nice to hear along with the grunge music. I get chills when I hear it. It describes my life. And knowing I am not the only one who has their moments. Only love can conquer hate.
This song says everything there is to know about me. Especially the part "I make mistakes just like everybody else, but instead of letting go, I can't forgive myself." Always been like that for me.
Forgive yourselves. Every government wants it's citizenry to feel hopeless! If government ever crossed you, made your life miserable, write them, and tell them just what's up, do NOT let them run fear in you! Keep faith!
It can't just be done we wish we could just forgive ourselves and I Don't Trust the Government Who wants to write them only thing they care about is a check and next sketchy ass war we can get involved into too make another country haste us.
I don't think they needs our consent they try to do it there way until they see it failing miserably and then look the other way or they try something else but the vote's are decided and carried out essentially through them It's always completed they're way in the end If they interfere with something that I believe in I'll stand up for that until I can't stand anymore i'm not scared I just Perceive it for how I feel it is rigged.
I took the high road for 15 years... I'm actually still taking the high road. I just realized the high road is now making sure that everything is broadcast to as many people as possible. I want to go on every talk show and talk about Jehovah's Witness is lying hypocrisy. AWESOME SONG
I saw these guys in concert and they were rocking it live! They are humble and they love their fans! I got many pics with them and they gave me a couple shirts with their autographs on them. Word to MCR!!!!
Wow ok... Discovers song in 2021, repeats about 5x in a row... opens spotify, searches for "middle class rut" 😁 🧐 i now have a new playlist on spotify and a new favourite band... 👌🤗 better late than never.
I have no space No room to move around And this box is getting smaller I'm trying to get out How did I get so far From where I was When did I decide To lose my way Who have I become I've got a new low All fifty two cards in a row I see now that I won't let go No I won't let go Well who am I? A cold shoulder left to cry You feel bad well so do I Yeah so do I I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I can not help feeling like I have so much at steak So I lock myself inside my head And I just run in place So many directions I don't Know which way to go I'm so busy doing nothing I got nothing to show I've got a new low All 52 cards in a row I see now that I won't let go No I won't let go Well who am I? A cold shoulder used to cry You feel bad well so do I Yeah so do I I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I make mistakes Just like everybody else But instead I'm letting go of it I can't forgive myself Well I did my time In the window less box Like it or not All I got now is today Tomorrow ain't here And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down I've been right; I've been left I've been wrong; I've been left behind I've been up but mostly down
I got real lucky first time hearing this band. Before I went to school in the mornings years ago, I would put on Fuse on the TV which played a top ten list of current rock music videos. Before I left for the bus, this song and video played and I stayed and watched the whole thing. I had the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
I was born in 1969... You kids today ask Did it matter? DOES it matter? Will it matter? All of that,.... Was IS and WILL BE... "UP TO YOU" ❤❤❤❤❤ Me? I've said just about EVERYTHING,.... except GOOD LUCK... best say that too. Patterns need "Completing"
This song has pulled me out of a lot of dark places I've spiraled into more times than I care to count. It makes me feel not alone in my struggles, and if they can get back up from the punches life throws at them, well, so can I.
This song really flew under the radar when it shouldn’t have.
I totally agree!
8.1 million views I just can't believe the rest of there music hasn't got on the charts I need to see these guys live

"I make mistakes just like everybody else. But instead of letting go of it, I can't forgive myself." - Might be the realist lyric in any song.

I am half a decade late to your comment but you absolutely nailed it. I never considered the musical layers to this song but you are absolutely right about the guitar twangs and drumbeats. I appreciate this song so much more now
It’s like, well I’ve had enough, so long world.. oh middle class rut ‘click’ .... ugh damn it, I got a little bit left in me..
That’s why I keep a revolver in my draw with a bullet inside
+ when Zack sings "i got a new low", you can hear the sudden drop with the guitar/bass combo, how deep it goes so when he says that, even the music goes into lower section. The entire album is a masterpiece.
Absolute perfect description almost 10years ago!
Who remembers this from 2k??
Brings back the memories of the late night NBA2K12
Best 2k soundtrack
@@seanhellard2124 hell yeah
This is one of those songs that I come back to over and over for years. Its just brilliant work
Well, if there ever was a song to sum up my miserable existence, this nailed it. A decade later, still hits hard. Oof.
It's a good description of attention disorders
It's a good description of my life, in general..

11 years, EEleveen long years!..an My prodigal song has finally come home.
Where have you been!!!!
"After your dreams have all died and mourning isn't mourning... what are you?"
Awake
"I can't help but feelin like I have so much at stake
So I lock myself inside my head, and I just run in place
So many directions, I don't know which way to go
I'm so busy doin nothin, I've got nothin to show"
How did they put my life into four lines
Jesus 😂😂😂❤❤😂
I used to sing this as a child and for years I couldn't find it. I am so glad I finally found it.
ill never forget seeing yall live.
11 years later I still come back to this song. It’s helped me over the years especially when I lost my best friend. I’ve been right I’ve been left I’ve been wrong I’ve been left behind, I’ve been up but mostly down..
Unfortunately I know how you feel but you're 11 years past that's an accomplishment keep going.
@@memyselfi6276thank you
@@XxByePolarxXthat is very true, I went 2 years without talking to my best friend and got the call one day that he was gone.. one of the things I regret the most in life
Hope you got it good brother 🤨
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This song totally sums up an overactive mind that is stressed out , and feels to stuck to do anything about it!!
This the theme song for Anxiety and Depression
I'm with you on that 💯 !!
I can identify very true but remember fight against it you're bigger than any anxiety it reminds me of that Jack White song two against One
This is such an underrated band!!
Losing your mind is terribly underrated.
All our lives we are taught to be analytical, rational, goal-oriented and in control.
That’s why most of us are forever living in our minds rather than in the real world.
In other words, we’ve got our heads buried in our screens or lost in thoughts rather than being present to what is here now.
And when you take a break from being in your head and look around you, your mind immediately tells you all the things that are wrong or lacking from this moment.
It’s a bit cold.
I wish it was sunny.
I’m bored.
I wish I had money/love/happiness.
I wish I was as tall/handsome/strong/popular as that guy.
Before you know it, we’re right back in our minds figuring out how to fix this moment.
In other words, we almost never live in this moment because we are always trying to get to the next, better moment.
But by the time we get to that moment, we will be too busy to really notice because we will be so preoccupied with getting to the next, even better one.
In this way, the mind separates us from life, from the magic of why we came here in the first place.
The mind is afraid of life, that’s why it’s always trying to protect us from it.
So if you have the opportunity to lose your mind, I suggest you seize it with both hands.
Don’t worry about what the others will think - they’re really too busy thinking about themselves and the next moment to really notice anyway.
When you searching for the 70's band Middle Class and you find this and you ain't even mad.
Lolol
YOU TOO?!
This band makes me happy. They let me know I'm not alone in my lower middle class misery.
tommyc9512 kill me whatever its takes get away . Right
Anyone still listening???
Every time I find a new low, bud.
8-8-24
Aug. 22, 24' yes 👏
@@Treeman261feels like it went from every other week to every other day now. Damn.
🐢💨💜
I'm still listening to this in 2023.
Such an underrated song that got me through some rough times. Ten years ago, I went through a divorce, lost everything, and had spine surgery, only to end up staying at a rundown, roach-infested stranger's house right after surgery. My cat possibly died from depression. By the time my ex brought my cat to me, it was too late, and she seized up in my arms at 3 am and died.
At one point, I was considering suicide, and thank God I didn’t go through with it because I am now living my best life.
Stay strong and never give up. 👊🏼
I thought this was going a different direction, man, it really did a 180 at the end there... and I'm happy for you now. I'm so sad about your cat. This song is me right now and I feel desperate to get out. I am always right on the edge of saying I'm done. Not one more thing. Not one more day. God keeps saving me. I shouldn't feel this way. But I do. Takes everything inside of me to put one foot in front of the other. I feel like it might turn around soon, that God is taking me somewhere, but the bad just keeps heaping down buckets on me. I'm sorry, you didn't comment to hear my irrationally depressed drivel and meet me 10 min from now and I'll probably be a different person, happy again for a moment like I'm supposed to be. I daily wish it could all end. God says no. I pick up my cross and keep walking.
I feel this song a lot because I was actually in lockup for 2 months and you know a lot of depression has to go with it but it just it's a soothing real song.
June 22 2024 still listening gonna learn it on guitar 🎸
I've lived the chores... and nope, not giving up...
Love this song, found over 12yrs later... When I've been living it for 50yrs... Thank you... Lost track of repeat plays...
I'm 42 yo. I've always been kind of an outsider. My career isn't very successful; I have failed to finish my bachelor's degree repeatedly because of learning disability issues. I haven't accomplished most of my goals. I can't maintain a romantic relationship.
I first heard this song in 2013 right after my oldest sister's funeral. She was the third sibling in my family to die. This song SPEAKS TO ME.
I wish I could make it better my friend. So sorry to hear that your life has been that way.
I'm sorry for all of your losses. If I had a way to fix them I would. But I'm in highschool and I'm also in a rut myself. But the difference between our two ruts other than age, is I CREATED my rut. I hope you can at least dig you're self out of you're rut.
I've been in and out rut's most of my life too. It's way too easy to look on the downside of everything (This world make's sure of that) But negativity is a habit we've all built up over the years, and of course we can't control external events but it's how we deal with them that will decide the quality of our lives... Habits can be broken and changed. if we change the way we see everything, & have a little self belief, I believe life will change for the better. This is what I'm learning, Happiness is all a state of mind... and once you get there you'll only attract the good things in life, It's how the world works. This is just my opinion though, all the best to you fella's. :)
I'm also sorry for your loss's Radtech. but life goes on, I'm sure your sister's in a better place.
I hear you there...I was in a bad way summer 2011-2012 I heard this song on a warm day in vegas and it felt like a bucket of hot water over my head...man what a great song...its speaks to me too...
Was thinking about this song and couldn’t remember it for the last few years and today I did..! 2024 😂🎉❤
One of the best song and video combinations I've ever heard and seen.
I agree
I finally see that in the video no matter what you go through nothing can kill you. Even going through the struggles in the song, you keep moving forward.
The lyrics of this song fit so well for me it's scary. I love this song!
easy to do
I feel the same way!!
me too except it should be 52 "drugs" in a row
+Carrie And Joe Reed right?!
+Nic West cool dude..? Lol
“how did i get so far from where i was, when did i decide to lose my way and who have i become”
Hard to believe I never heard this until today. Incredible song.
Welcome.
Same. Wow
Man this is a great song I almost completely forgot about
I haven’t found this song since I heard it on MTV jams as a kid, I’m finally here and oh my god this is so euphoric
This song was the song that played Right before the Dreaded phone call that i just lost one of my Best Friends/Brother from another...12 years have passed since the day you took your life...😢i still miss you😢 . Life is Most precious Gift one has. so i urge Anyone if your so low you cant no longer stand on your own please please 🙏 Find that one Asshole who just wont stop asking you if things are ok in your life and if they are truly Not Tell Them. Because they love you and want to help. Those that truly love each other like family will run through the fires of hell to make sure you come out with them unscathed Love is The most Powerful Thing we as beings can give to each other through love comes intelligence to Fight the things that try and Break you❤ So love each other before its to late❤
Now this is a fine piece of modern music.
Most definitely esoterica and modeux expression of layered existences. Consciousness in the state of movement, let there be 'LOW'
I have finally found this song after 10 years…
I've heard this song so many times before but this time I heard it, it really hit my heart
My sister just showed me this, man what a powerful and frustrated song. Everything from lyrics to the guitar hooking etc, someone else said "strain" and that's quite accurate.
We're all tossed into life and some of us, despite trying so hard, keep failing or just feel inadequate and lost. I wish I'd heard this a few years ago when I was fighting against the darkness of depression and alcoholism.
Be safe all.
Life is rough...not meant to be exactly easy. I been at my best and worst...and seem to find my way out...not easy. Music and animals have saved me more than most people in my life.
2023 still hitting new low
I stumbled upon this song when it first came out and it's still just as amazing to this day 🔥🔥🔥
been jaming this song since i heard it back years ago showed most my friends this song and they love it too
I listened to this song when I came out- it’s 9years later and I still love it
I started hearing this when I was 10, now I'm 19 and Im still here.
You're luckier than I. I am 29 and just heard these guys end of last year 😳 I feel like absolute shit that I hadn't heard them years ago. And I absolutely love them ❤️
@@SmokeAndChillAndromeda8 Nope. Have played it more times than I can remember in the last some odd months. Too damn good.
Same here man 💯👌
I was 19 when I heard it and now I'm 29 coming back for more lol
And here you will stay, hunny. If this speaks to you, I'd guess you think different, and that doesn't stop. OH, and let's win year this for Kobe, yeah?
wow how did I never hear this before? the lyrics are genius. ❤
Sittin here listening to this song lol remembering when the boy's were little and would jam out jumpin around on the bed and sing it word for word now one's been graduated 2 years and the other will this year. I swear I just blinked
When i first heard this song, it was in 2011, I was actually doing time. I was listening to the walkman radio and I was playing Spades, that fun competitive card game. While the lyrics were so easy to understand and his voice is nice to hear along with the grunge music. I get chills when I hear it. It describes my life. And knowing I am not the only one who has their moments.
Only love can conquer hate.
Such a serendipitous combination. Amazing voices, amazing musicians.
I miss them
This song says everything there is to know about me. Especially the part "I make mistakes just like everybody else, but instead of letting go, I can't forgive myself." Always been like that for me.
Sabrina Roemer me too. or takes entirely too long, even then it's still lurking in a corner of my mind
Forgive yourselves. Every government wants it's citizenry to feel hopeless! If government ever crossed you, made your life miserable, write them, and tell them just what's up, do NOT let them run fear in you! Keep faith!
It can't just be done we wish we could just forgive ourselves and I Don't Trust the Government Who wants to write them only thing they care about is a check and next sketchy ass war we can get involved into too make another country haste us.
Luke, I so agree with you
I don't think they needs our consent they try to do it there way until they see it failing miserably and then look the other way or they try something else but the vote's are decided and carried out essentially through them It's always completed they're way in the end If they interfere with something that I believe in I'll stand up for that until I can't stand anymore i'm not scared I just Perceive it for how I feel it is rigged.
Still such an underrated gem of a song.
This song has gotten me through so much over the years.....
I took the high road for 15 years... I'm actually still taking the high road. I just realized the high road is now making sure that everything is broadcast to as many people as possible. I want to go on every talk show and talk about Jehovah's Witness is lying hypocrisy.
AWESOME SONG
Damn this Guitar riff is killing it 🤘🤘
There's nothing better to watching a video of a band that rocks with one eye closed
Best song on NBA 2k12! Such a nostalgia trip.
I saw these guys in concert and they were rocking it live! They are humble and they love their fans! I got many pics with them and they gave me a couple shirts with their autographs on them. Word to MCR!!!!
Love the line "...all 52 cards in a row." You play the hand that life deals you but what happens when the whole deck sucks?
Shuffle it up, and play again a different way!
Bluff like hell!!!
Wow ok... Discovers song in 2021, repeats about 5x in a row... opens spotify, searches for "middle class rut" 😁 🧐 i now have a new playlist on spotify and a new favourite band... 👌🤗 better late than never.
been listening to this song for years and it still hits deep
When I need therapy, I come to songs like this one.
I have no space
No room to move around
And this box is getting smaller
I'm trying to get out
How did I get so far
From where I was
When did I decide
To lose my way
Who have I become
I've got a new low
All fifty two cards in a row
I see now that I won't let go
No I won't let go
Well who am I?
A cold shoulder left to cry
You feel bad well so do I
Yeah so do I
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down
I can not help feeling like
I have so much at steak
So I lock myself inside my head
And I just run in place
So many directions I don't
Know which way to go
I'm so busy doing nothing
I got nothing to show
I've got a new low
All 52 cards in a row
I see now that I won't let go
No I won't let go
Well who am I?
A cold shoulder used to cry
You feel bad well so do I
Yeah so do I
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down
I make mistakes
Just like everybody else
But instead I'm letting go of it
I can't forgive myself
Well I did my time
In the window less box
Like it or not
All I got now is today
Tomorrow ain't here
And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down
I've been right; I've been left
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
I've been up but mostly down

Claustrophobia of the mind it's the worst I'm there with you as they say think outside the box brother you'll be fine
By far one of the best videos.
Still one of my favorite songs.
This song speaks volumes.
I got real lucky first time hearing this band. Before I went to school in the mornings years ago, I would put on Fuse on the TV which played a top ten list of current rock music videos. Before I left for the bus, this song and video played and I stayed and watched the whole thing. I had the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Thanks TH-cam for reminding me of this awesome song in 2019!
I was born in 1969...
You kids today ask
Did it matter?
DOES it matter?
Will it matter?
All of that,....
Was

and WILL BE...
"UP TO YOU"
❤❤❤❤❤
Me? I've said just about EVERYTHING,....
except GOOD LUCK...
best say that too.
Patterns need "Completing"
Yea um sir...no one gives a fuck
Take ya goofy ass and go home
I am from 2092 AD & they're still ROCKING THIS SONG 🎵 👑🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎙🎙🎙🥁🥁🥁📻📻📻📻📻📻!
Rufus?
This song has pulled me out of a lot of dark places I've spiraled into more times than I care to count. It makes me feel not alone in my struggles, and if they can get back up from the punches life throws at them, well, so can I.
They were so ahead of their time.🖤
Depression sucks... When becomes a routine is a sign you should seen somebody.
