Official Lyrics from ArteryRecordings' Channel All rights go to the band Slaves Follow on Facebook: / officialslaves Music Video (Live Footage) • Video
I know Johnny Craig has had is demons and he still battles them today. A lot of fans have written him off but this man was created for music and I know there’s so much more in store for him. And I’m gonna wait.
Tell you what...I'll never write Johnny off for the fact I struggled with the same addiction, and it turns you into a person you never thought you would be...I'm actually proud of how far he came.. I can personally say it's not easy...
This is the first song I've ever heard by this band and I audibly said "wow this is really good" in my room, alone, at 1am. Time to binge listen to all their music
I was physically assaulted by my father. It was 9 weeks ago on Sunday. I can't explain what that feels like, but, I can tell you that this song is helping to carry me through the darkness.
@@littlelizardpsycho5178 I hope you know that your reply absolutely feels so dehumanizing and disgusting. OP clearly stated they were assaulted by their father and the first thing you did was direct the fault to them. What in the actual fuckery do you mean, "What did you do to your father for him to do this to you"??? Not a single action that OP did would be a valid reason for the father to assault his own child-to assault a person. EVERY FAULT of the assault is the assaulter's alone. The fault is in the assaulter, never the victim. You disgust me.

yea they are but if you wanna hear a guitar get slaughtered chewed up and spit out, u got to hear this, start slow but ome just waiiiiitttttt for it www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DhQjwkXrcUrs&ved=2ahUKEwiI_aHIi__mAhXHUt8KHXc7AdUQwqsBMAt6BAgDEAQ&usg=AOvVaw3ma1827_JKv5X8cHgjW2m7
if you wanna listen 2 drums getting massacred then listen to some relatively new songs from Trivium, lets say in last 2,3 years cca ... drums here are average for my taste, but what do i know, im no musician .
@@bvonm9557 hmmmm if u want someone to hear amazing drumming then tritium isn't quite there. Listen to anything from oceans ate alaska. He is the johnny craig of a drum set.
When I first met my wife I had introduced her to tons of different hard rock, metal and metalcore bands. That hoe managed to find this band before I did and now she's obsessed with the vocalist. I'm in love with this band now omg.
I’m in my middle aged life, I have met amazing people. They are closer than my blood relatives. Then suddenly they are gone. I don’t consider it a lost. My mistake was that I never knew life before I live it.
Despite all the bullshit this guy has been through through all the fans who left him because of his issues I hope you know jonny i never left here since day 1 DGD and still here u had a hell of a ride and you are amazing!
Kick me when I'm down Keep me on the ground From the ones who I thought they would never leave Who gave you so much faith? Who gave you so much power? You turned it all against me I'm feeling alive like it's the first time But you're goin' and you're goin' and you're gone tonight I'm feeling alive like it's the first time Never gonna be a part of me this time I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? Just wait, just wait, just wait Kick me when I'm down Keep me on the ground There's no black and white when it comes to pain All I gave up, it's still not enough You're twisting my demons like there is no love When push comes to shove that fine line gives up I'm left with the feeling of chasing a rush I'm feeling alive like it's the first time But you're goin' and you're goin' and you're gone tonight I'm feeling alive like it's the first time Never gonna be a part of me this time I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? Just wait Gonna show what I've got left You haven't even seen my best Just wait All I gave up Still not enough Kick me when I'm down I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? I know you'll write me off I know you're always gonna count me out You think I'm gonna let you down? Just wait Don't count me out Won't let you down I'm never gonna let you down (Don't count me out, don't count me out) (Don't write, I won't let you down)
Can’t believe be they are breaking up breaks my heart this song saved my life many times and I owe them everything I wish you all the best and never stop making music ❤️
Speaking instrumentally. Original lineup was less talented IMO, not solid live, and *instrumental* writing left much to be desired. I'm enjoying this growth.
Thomas Dobson, uh no? Lyman and Kim were original guitars & writers. Kim left, Richmond took rhythm with Lyman still writing. Now that lyman left, Richmond is writing guitars and they got someone to play rhythm live. I prefer Richmond's writing style & execution over Lyman. No hate to Tai personally, but I never dug his drumming style. Idk the new dude but I like the flow better. Personal taste.
I just kept picturing Jonny singing this song to addiction, as if it were a literal person, and to the people who had lost faith in him along the way as well.
thank you for my cousin who introduced me to this band and this song. I swear when he recommended this song to me, I cannot stop listening to this song cause it's TOO GOOD
The dude that mixed his vocals Erik Ron did a fucking amazing job. Jonny does enough justice on his own but the way that Erik tracked and mixed his vocals have it that much more! So effing good! I’ve always thought Jonny was talented but this song takes the cake and shows his talent ten fold!
I know some people may feel like this song applies to their lives and if you do I want to tell you ...I KNOW we havent seen your best! I believe you can ascend from ANY fall to reach your goals...to see your dreams unfold! When you let the light, the energy...the Raw power of Love lead your life there is no dimension where failure will thrive!!! Love yourself, Find yourself, BE yourself , see yourself as I do....as A Champion! One Love!!
I shared this song to my FB and wrote the below post!!! I have listened over and over and its part of my fucking Soul now!!! None of us have made it to our best yet but im on the ascension and feeling powerful!!! Much love for this music helping to inspire me today!!! BAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
My husband had this on his playlist & EVERY SINGLE TIME it played I always said “This guy sounds exactly like this band I listened to a long time ago.. Emarosa” he would say “eh I don’t hear it” ….. 😂 I just found out today it’s the same man lol
I still think Dance Gavin Dance was his best... but I may also be impartial. It was one of my first shows in Orlando with Drop Dead Gorgeous. This is still fantastic.
Just discovered this band...first song I've heard of theirs also. Every damn lyric is *literally* telling the story of my most recent ex of 3 years. Like, this shit fucking hurts so much I'm a bit sick listening to the lyrics, but then again it's such a good song. Slaves, I'll be listening to them more now.🖒
Check out some of Johnny Craig solo shit as well, I still feel her part 3, garbage pail kidgangbang, The ratchet blackout, and then his classic shit is when he was in dance Gavin dance their first two albums downtown Battle mountain are the absolute shit. Amazing
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I found it COMPLETELY by accident I was looking up “Slaves to substance - Suicide Silence” but I got curious and clicked on the weird song name at the top of the search bar and here I am! Adding this to my playlist now :))
I know Johnny Craig has had is demons and he still battles them today. A lot of fans have written him off but this man was created for music and I know there’s so much more in store for him. And I’m gonna wait.
Garbage pail kid gang bang is one of my favorite songs of his
I still am today a fan of Jonny. He has amazing vocals and could out sing half the competition in the music industry at the time. But my opinion
We didn’t write him off he just ignores them in typical Jonny fashion 👀 I said what I said 😂
Tell you what...I'll never write Johnny off for the fact I struggled with the same addiction, and it turns you into a person you never thought you would be...I'm actually proud of how far he came.. I can personally say it's not easy...
It sucks but I hope he comes back to heavier music
"You haven't even seen my best, JUST WAIIIIIIITT".. Hits the spot everytime
💯‼️😭😭‼️💯
the worst part is they never see the best. they already peaced.
This is the first song I've ever heard by this band and I audibly said "wow this is really good" in my room, alone, at 1am. Time to binge listen to all their music
Jus so u kno when this song came out i was in jail listening to them say it didn't make IT
Were you disappointed lol
Listen to dgd downtown Battle Mountain 1 and 2, Jonny Craig was their vocalist then and it was amazing
Check out body on fire
Listen to Johnny Craig garbage Paul kid gang bang
I still feel her pt 3
Idk who the guy singing is but his voice is angelic as fuck
Ryan m Doy jonny craig😍 his voice is amazing
Jonny Craig is fucking God
Ryan m Doy one of the best post hardcore singers there ever was that's who's singing
Ryan m Doy listen to his solo stuff
Lead vocals sound a lot like former Woe is Me frontman Tyler Carter
I was physically assaulted by my father. It was 9 weeks ago on Sunday. I can't explain what that feels like, but, I can tell you that this song is helping to carry me through the darkness.
What did you do to your father for him to do this to you ?

I follow every band this singer has ever been in and this is Definitely my favorite song he has ever sung
I agree
I agree to
Wait...what other bands?
Have you ever Listened to downtown battle mountain?
I agree. But he’s a piece of shit lol
I hope my neighbors like this song
They want you to turn it up believe me my neighbors love it 😅
Just saw JC live!! Freaking amazing!! 10/10 performance ‼️
He’s just hit 1 yr Sober!
HE’S BACK!!!🎉🎉
This song is powerful. The drums are getting massacred, the guitar is sweet as honey, and he sings with real pain.
Definitely about over coming his addiction
Yeah real pain that he inflicted on others.
yea they are but if you wanna hear a guitar get slaughtered chewed up and spit out, u got to hear this, start slow but ome just waiiiiitttttt for it

Jonny is the best at combining hardcore and R&B together
Tyler carter aint half bad either though
@@joshmartinelli8047 was about to say the same thing
Singer from VRSTY too is good. Should be up there with them
Yeah this band does kinda reminds me of Issues now that I think about it.
@@joshmartinelli8047 Tyler's great but he got it from john...
Every time I hear this it gets better and better....his voice is crazy good
Dylan Cobern look up emarosa from 7 years ago
I still think Johny Craig sounds better than Dylan.
Fuck EMAROSA his albums with DGD are superior to any
Indeed it is but you can make almost anyone sound good in a studio with professional mixing
When I first met my wife I had introduced her to tons of different hard rock, metal and metalcore bands. That hoe managed to find this band before I did and now she's obsessed with the vocalist. I'm in love with this band now omg.
Not very often you hear such a great voice like this mixed with rock. Its different and it works.
Listen to dance gavin dance. No matter which of the three singers you get, you'll get a great voice.
P.s tilian is the best😄
too close to touch is also awesome
Our last night is also a good one to add.
Avatar Devin RAAAAAAA MERICA
Issues, beartooth, too close to touch, the cab (not rock but good)
If you’re listening to this, god bless you.
I’m in my middle aged life, I have met amazing people. They are closer than my blood relatives. Then suddenly they are gone. I don’t consider it a lost.
My mistake was that I never knew life before I live it.
His freaking voice.. wow. Unbelievable sound. I want to hear more
Dealing with the worst break up of my life, this is exactly where I'm at.
Felt that
@@amymilam2705 hang in there girl. It takes time but gets better. I promise you that.
This song is so relatable to drug use, alcohol, addiction, and severe social anxiety!
My thoughts exactly
I couldn’t agree more
That’s because it’s all stuff that Jonny has dealt with....
Gabsluvmusic it's a song about getting off heroin
You sound so happy about that.
Despite all the bullshit this guy has been through through all the fans who left him because of his issues I hope you know jonny i never left here since day 1 DGD and still here u had a hell of a ride and you are amazing!
I have listened to this song 1,000 times and I'll probably listen another 1,000 times!
You're twisting my demons, like there is no love.
Gonna show you what I got left! You haven't even seen my best!
There's no black and white, when it comes to pain
Jess Frounfelter . I feel the same way
Jess Frounfelter i know you write me off.... I know you're always gonna count me out.... You think I'm gonna let you down?.. JUST WAIT?
there is no love
This song randomly came up on auto play...holy christ....you guys got a fan in me. Good shit, well played and even more so, well written.
best ever
(so much better with headphones)
not if you've got killer surround sound ;)
Yes... so much feeling behind the song. It's also true.
Every song is!!!!
Volume set to ear bleed lvl*
Its so much better wen your in the car doing 100 with the volume on fool blast
Jonny Craig's voice is angelic 💖💖😇
Saw this song live and this man is so much better live. Sounds so good
It gives me kick.... evrytime ...whn he says....”just wait”.....i feel some power within me....
Love this track.. dude's voice is epic, and the instrumentals are great.
Powerful Soulful R&B Amazing Vocals with hard rock music, somehow strangely works with this band. I’m addicted!
I will never put myself in that position again. To know freedom is to live a life unchained by other peoples expectations, and grow into your own.
That's deep..nice
This song fucking rules. Had it on repeat for months. This singer is so insane and the lyrics and everything are so powerful just grabs me.
Kick me when I'm down
Keep me on the ground
From the ones who I thought they would never leave
Who gave you so much faith?
Who gave you so much power?
You turned it all against me
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
But you're goin' and you're goin' and you're gone tonight
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
Never gonna be a part of me this time
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait, just wait, just wait
Kick me when I'm down
Keep me on the ground
There's no black and white when it comes to pain
All I gave up, it's still not enough
You're twisting my demons like there is no love
When push comes to shove that fine line gives up
I'm left with the feeling of chasing a rush
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
But you're goin' and you're goin' and you're gone tonight
I'm feeling alive like it's the first time
Never gonna be a part of me this time
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait
Gonna show what I've got left
You haven't even seen my best
Just wait
All I gave up
Still not enough
Kick me when I'm down
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
I know you'll write me off
I know you're always gonna count me out
You think I'm gonna let you down?
Just wait
Don't count me out
Won't let you down
I'm never gonna let you down
(Don't count me out, don't count me out)
(Don't write, I won't let you down)
Ah, the lyrics in the comments of a lyric video. -_-
@@chancecoffey4887 im wheezing lmaoaoa
I have a emotional connection to this song
This song is more relevant to Jonny now than ever. We are are here for you Jonny. We hope you over come all your struggles.
Jonny Craigs voice is pure gold👌❤. Love this band, CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW RELEASES!!
This song is freaking awesome. I love the singers voice!
Tristen Marie johnny craig
uncle roger223 it's jonny Craig....an OG when it comes to post hardcore lol
You'd hate his personality lol
Yea his personality is shit but hes a great singer
He also likes to scam his own fans, he is a talented scumbag
Dude the vocalist can really sing!!!
Sings about how "You havent seen my best" - Becomes their most popular song
But he also has Emarosa , which was pretty much Peak JC
This song tears me into pieces.
It's just too good. ❤
Anyone still jamming to this is 2024??
If you haven't heard the acoustic version, that was recently released. It's AMAZING.
Thanks!!
The acoustic version is like my fuckin theme song
This song has pulled me out of many bad moods 🙏🙏🙏
The power in his voice! Wow
This song is powerful replay button is destroyed love this song.
Can’t believe be they are breaking up breaks my heart this song saved my life many times and I owe them everything I wish you all the best and never stop making music ❤️
I feel you.
Slaves showing a bit of their Emarosa roots. I like this new lineup better. Huge upgrade in writing & guitars
joshua morena writing ? Jonny writes every song he sings lol
Speaking instrumentally. Original lineup was less talented IMO, not solid live, and *instrumental* writing left much to be desired. I'm enjoying this growth.
its the same guitarist dude
Thomas Dobson, uh no? Lyman and Kim were original guitars & writers. Kim left, Richmond took rhythm with Lyman still writing. Now that lyman left, Richmond is writing guitars and they got someone to play rhythm live. I prefer Richmond's writing style & execution over Lyman.
No hate to Tai personally, but I never dug his drumming style. Idk the new dude but I like the flow better. Personal taste.
You mean Johnny just sounding like Johnny
Sorry but anyone that thumbs down this song didn't listen to the words. Song is amazing! Great job guys!
Wow , he has an amazing voice!
I just kept picturing Jonny singing this song to addiction, as if it were a literal person, and to the people who had lost faith in him along the way as well.
Johnny Craig. Ugh. Dude.... 🤘🏼 I feel you in ALL of your songs.
I wish life had a rewind button. Take me back to the night we met.
This song deserves all 2.1 million views
I have no words for this. It's always been my fault and I'm so thankful for the last 4 years of my life after I learned how to give.
I just found this band a few nights ago, but these guys are AWESOME!
Saw them last night, really put on a kick ass show. Very nice group of guys :)
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Hands down.
Idk why, but it's satisfying to hear him say, "just wait" 🥴🤘🤘
thank you for my cousin who introduced me to this band and this song. I swear when he recommended this song to me, I cannot stop listening to this song cause it's TOO GOOD
Lucy N Thesky he does .. he always recommends me bands and songs like this.. he's too amazing 😄

Just found this band!!! oh mii gosh so good.
Cecilia Rivera listen to Dance Gavin Dance.
Same vocalist.
This song brings up the question in me... will 1000 years truly keep the devil out... 😲
The new vocalist in Slaves could never come close to this
I shared this song to my FB and wrote the below post!!! I have listened over and over and its part of my fucking Soul now!!! None of us have made it to our best yet but im on the ascension and feeling powerful!!! Much love for this music helping to inspire me today!!! BAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
My husband had this on his playlist & EVERY SINGLE TIME it played I always said “This guy sounds exactly like this band I listened to a long time ago.. Emarosa” he would say “eh I don’t hear it” ….. 😂 I just found out today it’s the same man lol
These songs relates so much specially if u put so much into the one u care for the most and twisted the demons it hurts so much....
Anyone familiar with the thumbnail?
Everything they touch is good straight sleep medicine lol soothing my massive hangover too
Joey Redpath u still hungover?
This song gets me like literally hard core
All I'm saying is this song hits home more often then not
Love this. Time to show all that wrote me off they were wrong!
I love this. 🙌😍 Any lambs here? Army?
These it's a powerful song for love and for who is having realationship problems.
Bless Jonny Craig's beautiful voice
Jonny‘s voice is so beautiful !
One of the most powerful songs ever written! Wow!
Love screaming this as I am heading home from work. Amazing song.
Damn. Incredible voice
I have been hearing this on Sirius/XM on the Octane Channel........LOVE it!!!!!! Who are these guys?? I will be adding this to my MP3 Collection!!
Happened upon this song, never heard the band before, makes me want to listen to DGD for some reason....
Gavin Fornof yes I'm well aware. That was the joke
The Drums are fuckinn' sicc wiTh iiT!!!
glad I got the chance to mix this down!! dope band!!!!
songs on repeat
Another band is being added to my list .. I loved his voice 😍
Flawless Flower u should listen to his old bands Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa
Flawless Flower or even his solo stuff
Will do so ... 💪😄
I still think Dance Gavin Dance was his best... but I may also be impartial. It was one of my first shows in Orlando with Drop Dead Gorgeous. This is still fantastic.
This song means so much to me!!!!!! I jam it multiple times a day!!!!!
Reminds me of my latest relationship, i put everything in and got excuses, lies and nothing in return
Just discovered this band...first song I've heard of theirs also. Every damn lyric is *literally* telling the story of my most recent ex of 3 years. Like, this shit fucking hurts so much I'm a bit sick listening to the lyrics, but then again it's such a good song. Slaves, I'll be listening to them more now.🖒
New one dropped today- true colors
Check out some of Johnny Craig solo shit as well, I still feel her part 3, garbage pail kidgangbang, The ratchet blackout, and then his classic shit is when he was in dance Gavin dance their first two albums downtown Battle mountain are the absolute shit. Amazing
Discovered this today on Pandora love it
Love Johnny Craig!!! 💙💜
oh my! thanks youtube for recommending this ! awesome
Crazy how JC’s voice gets better with time. Miss him in DGD, but things worked out I see. 🤘🏽
Who's gonna tell him?
Adhd Junkie tell me what? JC isn’t in slaves anymore? Well aware lol
Hahaha, yeah. Sad face on that front.
@@Who_TF_Is_Waldo true, i rlly hope hes doing ok nowadays
Can stop singing 😍
this song is Fire!
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I found it COMPLETELY by accident I was looking up “Slaves to substance - Suicide Silence” but I got curious and clicked on the weird song name at the top of the search bar and here I am! Adding this to my playlist now :))
He did.... He did let everyone down... again.
Jonny Craig makes nothing but pure gold
This song is everything
One of the best songs i had on repeat in a while!
I can relate to this song on so many levels
I love this song, I love his voice, it's a present for oure ears ❤️. Thank you
We are all still SLAVES. ❤
Probably my most favorite song ever
