skillet will always be one of my favorite bands. coming from a very broken home this song speaks to me a lot, and in these comments i see many relate to it this way.
Can't understand how parents could be very abusive towards their children. This makes me very sad. I wish no one will ever experience domestic abuse. And to all my fellows who got beaten up and smacked down, peace be upon we all
This right here, Ahmed, is so true. I grew up with an abusive step father... My mother let him do whatever suited his fancy... So I guess she was abusive too...
Dear people in my life, Thank you for the scars the mark my body. Thank you for the pain that drives the blade. Thank you for pretending to love me and then tearing me apart at the first chance you got. Thank you for showing me how strong I am for only relying on myself. Love, Me
I can relate to you brother/sister. I've went through a lot like you, but I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now... I wish the best of luck for you. Always be with God.
This song is so accurate, its almost scary. For six years this was my life as a child, perfectly describes me and my dad; I went through so many emotions, this being one. Its amazing how these lyrics can be so true and strait to the point, thanks Skillet.
The way Skillet plays it just has so much emotion. If you listen to it, actually listening closely, you see how his voice breaks slightly. Of how hollow it is at some parts. This is exactly why I love Skillet. Even the intro sends chills up your spine. It's this sad, empty feeling.
Amazing. Skillet seems to write the best songs, and a lot of them actually send great messages out there. Skillet is probably the best band I've ever heard.
man as a emotional abuse victim, this song strikes VERY close to me...and only in the last few months have I realized how loved I am...by people other than my family
Though this is really sad, I've lost the ability to cry for something really sad unless it's on a personal level. I don't mean to sound like an asshole when I say that, I'm just that depressed
This is fitting with what happened between me and my former best friend. Things were perfectly fine but began to go downhill after she got mad at me over some mistakes- and never forgave me for them. on my side I started getting very neurotic and paranoid around her due to various problems and how she'd get angry with me whenever I started being depressed and she couldn't get a straight answer from me. She apparently cared, but her words and actions cut too deeply and I couldn't stand being around her anymore without worrying I'd do something wrong. It became too much of a bad relationship to keep.
***** I know that feeling. But know that even if some people in your life may treat you badly and hate you, it doesn't mean everyone else both in and out of your life hates you. I let that get to me and it only made it worse with my former friend as well as with some of my friends. *Hugs*
John Cooper's words in this song not only tells me how he felt & stuff w/ his relationship w/ his father (b4 he forgave him) but I also see myself in this song.. My father gave me "open wounds", I was very bitter, angry, upset w/ him and it was tearing me apart, like real bad... Only thru the strength of my Daddy was I able to 4give my earthly dad.. This song reminds me of my struggle w/ that, the wounds, & of Johns struggle too
wow, this song is the story of my life... That's why i love skillet, they sing about real events, and not partying. They know how it feels, If it wasn't for them i would most likely be dead. But when I listen to them, I feel like im not alone, they are my heros.♥
Thinking about it now, this song really makes me think of 2 friends that I used to have... This was back in 2016... ...They betrayed my trust and compassion, tearing up my fragile heart and sensitive mind, taking advantage of my compassion... Then I slammed the door on them, unfortunately isolating myself from my loved ones for a time. I’m doing a lot better now. I’m glad I cut ties with those 2 friends...
It makes me think of my former friends. I did look up to them and they seemed to be nice. When one of their friends humiliated me, no one rose to defend me. That's when I realized that they don't care about me. After 3 years in the same class - time filled with illusions that kept me alive. My class turned out to be a bunch of cowards. However, I still believe that they're going to appreciate me once, no matter how much they hurt me.
For my "friend" Because you built up my confidence then tore it down and left me with nothing but painful memories. Thanks so much. Your scars may heal but mine don't. Mine are much more then skin deep.
Lol everyone here be like 'reminds me of my mom/brother/ex/best friend' and I'm here like 'lol I'm here cuz it's a good song' XDBut seriously, everyone who had someone betray them or hurt them, you have my feels.I'm here for ya, even though we don't know each other ; 3
hell, im having so many mixed thoughts about an old friend, on one side i still love him a lot and miss him. on the other this song PERFECTLY REPRESENTS MY FEELINGS.
This is easily the best song off the Collide album, and probably one of the best songs Skillet has ever made. It was a sign for other great songs to come like Those Nights and The Older I Get
I think this song works for really any kind of abusive relationship, between parent(s) and child(ren), lovers, siblings, friends, etc. It's just captures so well as a theme of the abusive relationship. My god, it's beautiful! In how it really captures the true essence of the abusive relationship, not in how it's depicting abuse because abuse is not in any way positive, believe me, I know. :( And just that one line, "how could you?" I ask myself how could they every time I think about what was they've done to me. Anyone else feelin' me?
I love my mother, no matter what she's put me through.She knows it. I despise my stepfather, he's no good for us. My father is pretty much a stranger. I plan on moving states away from them when I get out of high school. If you knew my past, you'd know why I want this. I know it's best for me and everyone.
Tbh, connecting this song with an abusive relationship == you actively think about said memories. Seems a better idea would be to talk with someone rather than singing the lyrics out and hoping it fixes something
Concrete Angel only reason I would disagree with you is the line all ive ever wanted to be was you why would you want to be like your bf/gf that's more of a father son thing or mother daughter thing but I agree the watching all the dreams we had turn into static sounds like a relationship thing
I think it's like.. you're dating someone who's amazing in everyway. You want to be like that, right? Then you realize it was a façade, and they become abusive. Yah. :P But we all interpret songs differently. :3
Robert Lavender also a sibling thing, and a friend thing and therefore a bf/gf thing, can you not admire someone despite being in a "relationship"? Also this song seems to be about gravity if im honest, its my song for spint training on bike, fall off and you've got open wounds, it translate to other activities as well, squat a weight ur not prepared for and your knee joint might pop out of your skin
Me: *crying* This is how i feel towards my parents.. I can relate to this song so much.. Boyfriend: You know Skillet is a Christian band , right? Me: Yeah. I don't listen to bands based on their religious beliefs.. I love Skillet. I don't believe in "God" or "Satan".. I believe in MUSIC. I hope this doesn't insult anyone. If it does, it wasn't my intention.. Anyways, this band is amazing.
As a God Lover, not necessarily a Christian, because screw those Bible humpers and LGBTQ haters, who can't even practice what they preach, I personally don't care what someone believes or doesn't believe in, as long as we are all kind, loving, generous, understanding, and respectful to each other, God or no God involved.
Christian here. Honestly, it shouldnt matter, music is there not for beliefs of any religion or community. Its to make you feel things, to make you chill, vibe, or just have different emotions. To be inspired or to just be yourself when listening to it
This reminds me of a step dad I used to have. He abused me until my mom finally divorced him and this song is exactly how I felt. Now I have ptsd, but at least I’m far away from him now
I know I'm a little late on commenting seeing as this video was posted 7 years ago. But every time I listen to this it reminds me of when my half-brother's father physically, verbally, and mentally abused me. He would always say I was worthless, call me names, play mind games with me, and he would beat me sometimes and put the blame for what he did on me. But what hurts most was that I trusted him, and he took my fragile heart and tore it into tiny shattered pieces. That was when I was between the ages 4 and 6, but it still haunts me and led me into depression for a few years. I've attempted suicide because I felt so worthless and useless as I watched my mother be strangled and almost killed and I stood there, frozen, and feeling nothing. I still remember and I can't forget, and thanks to him I can't bring myself to forgive or trust people. I used to be confident and happy, but now I feel empty and I stay away from people. I find it difficult to speak to random strangers, It takes me a long time to trust people even a little bit. The friends I have, I've known for years, and I don't open up to others.
Living what seems to be a life of "Job" has left me with my share of OPEN WOUNDS..... Y must some of us suffer thru so much while others don't have a clue what depression even is! Yea, learned A LONG time ago life isn't fair. Got a graveyard of family to prove it; including a 15 y/o son..... How strong must ONE person be...? Be blessed!
well then she missed out on a awesome person I may have never met you but you seem cool and if she didn't care then she isn't worth your time or your thought. I understand how hard that is to not have a mom when you need her the most but I know youll do great your never alone! and if you are just know ill be here to help you too! Even though I don't know u :)
I'm not usually in to this kind of music (not a fan of the yelling and all that), but the words in this song speak to me so much right now. My dad just threw a fit for no reason a few minutes ago (this has recently become a regular thing - not sure what changed), and then I found this...
+EpicShawn155 well please stay strong and hopefully things wont get to bad im sure there pretty bad now but hopefully it dont get to out of hand and if you need someone to talk with you can talk with me
Jenile Mirage either way you are one of many victim this horrible world has claimed and there at people out there that are willing to help in any way they can
My parents think they help, but they used me...lied to me...raised me to help others and always give and never ask for anything in return...the real world just points and says Screw you... This song fits it so perfectly
it's weird my father b/c he beat me down but now that he's not in my life I miss him a little bit. I probably just miss the side of him when he wasn't drunk
I feel identified with this I felt nothing was enough to fulfill my dreams but then everything changed for better when i give up, not because i wasn't good enough but because i realized those weren't MY dreams to begin with and started looking for my own and then chasing them even if i would be at a disadvantage for wasting so much valuable time doing stuff i never wanted to begin with
dang..this song makes me think of my mother ,i'm a depresive peice of shit but she is toxic as all hell with evryone...i don't even know why i'm telling all this have a good life stranger on the internet
I just realized for the first time that John probably wrote this song about his rough time at home during high school and suddenly the song makes that much more sense in the context of Skillet (my favorite band). it seems a bit less malicious too xD p.s. looove this song....

skillet will always be one of my favorite bands. coming from a very broken home this song speaks to me a lot, and in these comments i see many relate to it this way.
Three days grace is my personal favourite band, with Skillet as my second favourite band.
Three days grace is definitely in my top 10.
Same here bro
I'm so sorry for whatever you went through!! I hope things are better now!!
Can't understand how parents could be very abusive towards their children. This makes me very sad. I wish no one will ever experience domestic abuse. And to all my fellows who got beaten up and smacked down, peace be upon we all
This right here, Ahmed, is so true. I grew up with an abusive step father... My mother let him do whatever suited his fancy... So I guess she was abusive too...
lol so true
I totally get you but the best way to get through it, in my opinion, is to remain positive. It will help you through any situation.
Ahmad Elhamshary Im abused mentally and emotionally but not physically...
Switchblade Gaming .thats crazy! he can go to jail for that!
as an abused child this speaks to me on a level unknown to most...
I feel you, brother.
Me too
Dank Tank Drag Kings sand here 💔💔
Reminds me of a broken heart
Dank Tank Drag Kings me too
2003 was a great year for post-grunge love and hate themed songs. We had Three Days Grace's I Hate Everything About You and Skillet's Open Wounds lol
Open Wounds was 2004
Porcaria Insana three days grace bro 💖 that song I hate everything about you. Still my favorite, after all these years
Screaming Popcorn Oh yes, i’ve just started to listen their songs, pain was the first one and i totally love their songs!
"Downstairs the enemy sleeps, leaving the TV on."
100% realistic situation.
Probably referencing to the abusive father or mother leaving the TV on while being asleep on the couch.
I sleep with the tv on Bc it drowns out the voices
@@killer2403 yep
Dear people in my life,
Thank you for the scars the mark my body. Thank you for the pain that drives the blade. Thank you for pretending to love me and then tearing me apart at the first chance you got. Thank you for showing me how strong I am for only relying on myself.
Love,
Me
I'm so sorry you for everything you went through 😢
I can relate to you brother/sister. I've went through a lot like you, but I can't imagine the pain you are feeling right now...
I wish the best of luck for you. Always be with God.
My mom is an addict, and I always blamed her for my own addiction. This song was my step 4 recovery motivation ❤
Good luck, I hope you safely recover
This song is so accurate, its almost scary. For six years this was my life as a child, perfectly describes me and my dad; I went through so many emotions, this being one. Its amazing how these lyrics can be so true and strait to the point, thanks Skillet.

Reminds me of my mom....
i know what you mean
Thanks for being supportive guys. :)
***** Yea me too and your name is one away from mine im David Lara
***** Thank you. That was really nice of you. I wish everyone were more like you. Your comment made my day.
This is why I love skillet so much! They make really good music that speaks out into our hearts and sends a powerful message to the world!
Amazing. Skillet seems to write the best songs, and a lot of them actually send great messages out there. Skillet is probably the best band I've ever heard.
Skillet songs really speak to my heart.....I feel lost then hearing their songs I realize God is always with me....
sam johnson amen❤
Yup. He is always with us.
Skillet was one of the bands that got me through my Mommy's sickness and passing away
First Skillet song I ever heard. Still super awesome and one of their best.
man as a emotional abuse victim, this song strikes VERY close to me...and only in the last few months have I realized how loved I am...by people other than my family
Ok it's seriously impossible for me not to cry when I have depression
I'm there where I wanna cry but I can't
Though this is really sad, I've lost the ability to cry for something really sad unless it's on a personal level. I don't mean to sound like an asshole when I say that, I'm just that depressed
I can't help but want to cry everytime I hear this song because of how much it reminds me of the pain my parents bring upon me every single day.
This is fitting with what happened between me and my former best friend. Things were perfectly fine but began to go downhill after she got mad at me over some mistakes- and never forgave me for them. on my side I started getting very neurotic and paranoid around her due to various problems and how she'd get angry with me whenever I started being depressed and she couldn't get a straight answer from me.
She apparently cared, but her words and actions cut too deeply and I couldn't stand being around her anymore without worrying I'd do something wrong. It became too much of a bad relationship to keep.
Huh. I'm there. The sad thing is, my family always betrays me.
*****
I know that feeling. But know that even if some people in your life may treat you badly and hate you, it doesn't mean everyone else both in and out of your life hates you. I let that get to me and it only made it worse with my former friend as well as with some of my friends.
*Hugs*
...exactly the same here but I can't let go of her
I relate..
That hurts I have had a similar experience.
"I believe in music" This. Yes. A thousand times yes.
...This song remember me of my past...
Your fault?
Sorry, to hear it
If I let you
No... *sneeze* ugh
Thanks... *grabs it and blow nose* and neither I
Lyrics BLOWED MY MIND!!! like in every song... great job
You can't stop me from falling apart, 'cause my self-destruction is all your fault!
+Crazysniperscout Yes, that is what the words are. If you would like to read the rest of the lyrics just go to the description. lol
+Maryann Mace I'm not retarted, but thanks for letting me know anyway. Just wrote it because I can't get this song out of my head right now ;D

This has got to be the heaviest song Skillet has written, stylistically and lyrically.
I'm writting a story when i'm listening to Skillet's song
My favorite hour in a day
After 9 years I finally found this song again, brings me back to when I was younger and at my lowest
Skillet is the best and my favorite band all the time :D
It makes me think of my former friends. I did look up to them and they seemed to be nice. When one of their friends humiliated me, no one rose to defend me. That's when I realized that they don't care about me. After 3 years in the same class - time filled with illusions that kept me alive. My class turned out to be a bunch of cowards.

Because you built up my confidence then tore it down and left me with nothing but painful memories. Thanks so much. Your scars may heal but mine don't. Mine are much more then skin deep.
just recently going through a really rough abusive situation, I’m sobbing at every lyric
This song is what reminders me of who I used to be. Makes me realize how much has changed.💬
this song is 100% me, I'm crying right now omg
Yeah.. I cry every stupid day 😷😴..
Ruby Radke I hope you're ok after 4 years
love it when cooper is screaming at the end ! 👍👌

I am utterly amazed with the beauty of this song. I find it absolutely amazing.
lmao why was i so edgy when i was younger
no love button? crap....
I love my mother, no matter what she's put me through.She knows it.
I despise my stepfather, he's no good for us.
My father is pretty much a stranger.
I plan on moving states away from them when I get out of high school. If you knew my past, you'd know why I want this.
I know it's best for me and everyone.
I connect this song to an abusive relationship, not parents. "Watching all the dreams *we* had turn into static."
Tbh, connecting this song with an abusive relationship == you actively think about said memories. Seems a better idea would be to talk with someone rather than singing the lyrics out and hoping it fixes something
Matt G I've never been in an abusive relationship. The way my mind works is both blessing and curse.
Concrete Angel only reason I would disagree with you is the line all ive ever wanted to be was you why would you want to be like your bf/gf that's more of a father son thing or mother daughter thing but I agree the watching all the dreams we had turn into static sounds like a relationship thing

throwing back to the skillet days😊
I know I'm a little late on commenting seeing as this video was posted 7 years ago.
But every time I listen to this it reminds me of when my half-brother's father physically, verbally, and mentally abused me.
He would always say I was worthless, call me names, play mind games with me, and he would beat me sometimes and put the blame for what he did on me.
But what hurts most was that I trusted him, and he took my fragile heart and tore it into tiny shattered pieces.

Aida Tulley I know it's been like 4 years, I hope you're okay.
one of the first skillet songs i herd.. i instantly fell in love.

Jenile Mirage either way you are one of many victim this horrible world has claimed and there at people out there that are willing to help in any way they can
This song brings back so many memories...... to my past and the way I was back then even now
I told my friend about Skillet.
He responded with this "Skillet is just a parody of Skrillex! he ripped skrillex off"
He is not my friend now.
I understand he's dead, yes?
Eren Jaegar I think it should be backstab cause you be able to sneak up on him and is most likely able to kill him
Samantha Trujillo He's Dead.
Eren Jaegar Oh did you kill him? :3
Samantha Trujillo Of course i did.
My parents think they help, but they used me...lied to me...raised me to help others and always give and never ask for anything in return...the real world just points and says Screw you...
This song fits it so perfectly
this song reminds me off my dad
Your relationship with your dad, or your dad's life?
both
usmc soldier I feel your pain. You won't be in his house forever, just make the best of it while you are.
Looked up songs about child abuse and out of 7 songs this is what I picked. It has helped me so much in 4 min.
this song reminds me of all of the people who I called my friend but then took advantage me and lied to me
I listened to this song a lot when I was a sophomore, I love SKILLET!😆
So many dots after sentences, I think the internet is on its' period again. (Sorry, I had to.)
you made my day wow xD😂😂
That was pretty good. That has made my day. Thank you, random person. XDDDD
BRUH THAT'S GREAT
you, sir, have made my day
How does this even make any sense?
People in my life have hurt me emotionally and skillet songs like this one help me fight the pain
How i feel about my demons.
I'm currently trying to heal from the trauma of abuse and this song... it just reminds me a lot of it and it's really accurate to the feeling
Its too late to keep me from falling apart...
man.. im loving this song..
❤💙💚💛💜💘💖 Skillet is the best
wooooow this song explains alot MY SELF DESTRUCTION IS ALL UR FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thnx dad
this really relates to my relationship with my parents
Never really listened to Skillet until yesterday and Oh my God. I just love their songs. I can relate to a lot of them especially this one
i searched up open wounds and it showed me a bunch of open wounds XD i guess i looked in images
When i went through my heart wrenching breakup with my gf this is the song that helped me back up
esta genial de mis favoritas de #Skillet How could you x2 Hate me
this song is so beautiful
This reminds me of my relationship with my mom..
The song is about child abuse.
skillet is my favorite :)
who can't relate to this song?
"And you can't stop me from falling apart, 'cause my self-distruction is all your fault!" Powerful lines and my favorite
Last week I sang this in the talent show to my boyfriend.
dee ann uh that’s a lil odd unless he’s like abusive

This song tell a lot about me. This song is so awesome thanks for skillet.
it's weird my father b/c he beat me down but now that he's not in my life I miss him a little bit. I probably just miss the side of him when he wasn't drunk
I feel identified with this
I felt nothing was enough to fulfill my dreams but then everything changed for better when i give up, not because i wasn't good enough but because i realized those weren't MY dreams to begin with and started looking for my own and then chasing them even if i would be at a disadvantage for wasting so much valuable time doing stuff i never wanted to begin with
dang..this song makes me think of my mother ,i'm a depresive peice of shit but she is toxic as all hell with evryone...i don't even know why i'm telling all this have a good life stranger on the internet
This song is so meaningful to me. Gotta love Skillet!
let the Tortured begin.
my friends do this to me all the time😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I listen to this song a couple times every day.
This is exactly how I feel about me and my dad
Same here. I don't get along with my dad I try Tomsk it better but he never try's to make it better.
Same with me and my step dad and also my mom....she abuses me and my step dad treats me like a slave
i really love this song, the wounds hurt...it kills

I just realized for the first time that John probably wrote this song about his rough time at home during high school and suddenly the song makes that much more sense in the context of Skillet (my favorite band). it seems a bit less malicious too xD p.s. looove this song....
Wow that is deep XD and I agree
+GalaxyFnaf Plays Thanks haha (:
+JustcallmeRockStar:P I think John's dad was verbally abusive, so I think that's what the song's about... or so I heard.
