I used to listen to this one song all the time when I was 13 years old, now it's 2023 and I'm 20 years old and still listen to Skillet. I miss those times where I could just be happy without any real worries, it feels like my life has just gone downhill.
Do you need a Hero to save you now, or are you just content with being Awake and Alive? Joking aside, I feel you. The world today is so much darker and more corrupt than when we were kids/teens. This is why (I think, at least) bands like Skillet are so important. Their music is so powerful, and their message is often one of hope (I mean, not THIS song in particular, but most of them). They can give us that little extra bit on energy we desperately need, whether it’s to finish a deadline on time, to confront a toxic person, or even just to get out of bed in the morning. We each have a Hero living within us, sometimes they just need to be woken up.
26 currently and i feel what you mean. I've realized that im living happier when i tell myself that i simply grown a lil older and realized more shit. Life didnt go downhill we just started to realize more things that are not as good as we thought they are. Believe me, your / our live has a long way to come, although it might went downhill, only means we picked up momentum and are ready to go up the hill with high speeds. Keep it up brother 🖤
after a decade of listening to this song, its only now i understand hear and relate to the lyrics. this is comforting in a way, even tho this song expresses what i feel and think deep within, and its horrible, just knowing this song has been with me most my life, ive known the lyrics but never understood them, and now i understand, something feels complete, like im starting to make ways in mentally and environmentally getting better. this song has watched me grow into a monster, but now its helping calm the monster. thank you skillet. sincerely from a decade long fan
The Guile’s theme of Skillet’s catalog. No question about it. Much like “(I Hate) Everything About You” by Three Days Grace, “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence, “Bodies” by Drowning Pool, the later “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy, and _just about every song_ from Linkin Park’s first two albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora, it just goes with everything.
Imagine, it's 2009. You just got home from a long day of school and you sit in front of your TV, turn on your PS3 and play SVR 2010 and create wrestlers to this absolute banger. Those were the days...
Even after 13 or 14 or more years goes by, this song will always go hard. Any songs use for amv or gmv such as Halo gmv, FNAF amv, Lego amv, or transformer amv, COD gmv, etc will always goes hard because they used to make us feel like the main character or a badass character when we were young.
This song embodies how it feels struggling with insanity very well. You can feel yourself becoming the monster. No one seems to hear you scream for help. You're scared because you know what'll happen if the monster escapes. You won't be the only one it kills.
This song was my big brother’s absolute favorite. When I was a little girl, he was a huge Skillet fan and loved all sorts of rock/metal bands. In the car, he’d play this song and sing, while I headbanged to it as a kid. Now, it’s 2023, and I’m in my teens. Safe to say that even back when I was a little girl, I absolutely fell in love with the sound. I’m still here rocking out to this song seven years later, and every time that I hear this song I think back to the memories with him. Skillet’s music will never die, no matter the ages.
Years ago I had a German friend on Xbox Live, 360 days. He and I were friends for years. He never had a mic, never spoke, but we sent plenty of messages back and forth. I met him on Halo Reach. Good times. One day he joined my Minecraft world and killed me. I blocked him immediately.
[Verse:] The secret side of me, I'll never let you see, I keep it caged but I can't control it. So stay away from me, the beast is ugly. I feel the rage and I just can't hold it. It's scratchin' on the walls, in the closet, in the halls. It comes awake and I can't control it. Hidin' under the bed, in my body, in my head. Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end. [Chorus:] I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun. I must confess that I feel like a monster! I, I feel like a monster! I, I feel like a monster! [Verse 2:] My secret side I keep, hid under lock and key, I keep it caged but I can't control it. Cause if I let him out, he'll tear me up, break me down, Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end! [Chorus:] I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I, I feel like a monster! I, I feel like a monster! [Hook:] It's hidin in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp, There's no escape for me, It wants my soul, it wants my heart. No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream, Maybe it's inside of me. Stop this monster! [Bridge:] I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster! [Chorus:] I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun. I must confess that I feel like a monster! I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I'm gonna lose control, it's something radical, I must confess that I feel like a monster! I, I feel like a monster. I, I feel like a monster. I, I feel like a monster. I, I feel like a monster. I, I feel like a monster.
I saw them in concert last year (and I'm going this year), and they were sooo good. They played this song last, and it was amazing. Totally gotta go again this year Edit: it was frickin lit

I went on a youth trip to gatlinburg with my church as a teenager and one night they randomly told us all to get in the van because we're going to a concert. None of us had any idea who it was, then we roll up to the venue and it said "Skillet" on the billboard. I'll never forget how pumped i was when i saw that sign lol

Remember going to a Christian concert and skillet coming out like towards the end and being so surprised that they were a Christian band. Always wondered why my dad played them in the car but hearing the songs now it’s pretty clear haha
