My father was abused by my mom. She bloodied him up often and he never fought back because he was taught to never hit a girl. One day she threw a glass ashtray at his head and split his eyebrow area open and he started bleeding very badly. He finally for the first time in his life called the police on her. The police came and took his statement and hers. He told the truth, but my mom said that he was trying to rape her and she was defending herself. The police never planned to ask me or my siblings anything so we spoke up and said she was lying. Guess who went to jail? yup my dad. He was charged with numerous types of assault and is now a registered sex offender and wasn't allowed to see his own kids as they grew up. My mother beat us when he was taken away, because we told the police the truth. Women CAN be abusive and I would NEVER be like my dad. You hit me and regardless of gender...I will rearrange your god damned face.
That's horrible. I hate how men getting abused get overlooked because 'they should be able to take it'. No one, no matter what their gender is should ever hit anybody
Tom Anderson That makes me really f**kin' mad and I'm a girl btw. At least your dad WAS trying to be a gentleman but in the end it didn't work out very well and I'm sorry, I'm sure your dad would've been a good dad if he was that against violence if that makes you feel any better. I think your mom should be jailed 10 years minimum! >:(
Jelly Cubez She is living life well these days and my father is in and out of being homeless due to it being hard to find a job or a place to live that is okay with sex offenders/felons. Even though my brothers and sister are aware he is innocent, they are still ashamed to be seen with him. His life was ruined that night he called the police. Id like to mention also that even if my dad didn't believe in hitting women, he was still a skinny small guy while my mom was a fat giant. She could have taken him on regardless. Good people don't win in life. It's sad but true.
Gender doesn't matter. If someone hits you, you have every right to defend yourself. If one hits somebody, they should be prepared to be hit in return. Pain is felt no matter what gender you are.
This "Do you feel like man when pushing her around, do you feel better now as she falls to the ground" part is what I think to Alois Trancy when he is peeking on Hannah
this song was like me and a friend, she was getting beaten by her boyfriend, an well he tried kickin my ass because I always helped her up an caused her to smile laugh an see whats positive in life.....I did get my ass beat by her boyfriend, an well she left him, I was there to protect her once more when he tried to get to her, I told her listen to this song an she did, she broke out in to tears an hugged me....no woman or men shouldn't go through beatings, just because you're stronger doesn't mean you can push her/him down
i don't see and look at my self as a good person, because i've hurt people in my life and past life, i reget almost every bad thing i've done, but i just hope one day they will forgive me, and i know how it is, i may be only 18 but i've seen an been through alot of shit in my life....
Dear Whoever Is Reading This, You're a beautiful person. You've made it this far in your life, you were one of the fastest, and you've made it through the complications of birth. You've lived your childhood, where you're so curious around the things around you, but so niaeve and vulnerable, anyone being able to easily grab you and end you right there. But that didn't happen. You're alive now, with some knowledge of how the world works. You've seen the dark things, the things that didn't quite click in your earlier stages, but they've always been there, and now they always will. Life may look dim and hopeless, but don't lose hope in this world. There's people out there, while they may not know you personally, will cheer you on until the end. Never lose hope, because if everyone were to stop believing, everything would be much worse. Problems in your everyday life, teachers, peers, bullies, work, bosses, relationships, hell, even your own family can change this look so easily. Why let everything you've built up so far, just fall right down? You gotta just stay strong in this horrid world, and keep it bright for everyone else out there. Everyone you love, everyone you COULD love. If you're contemplating suicide, don't. You're basically murdering. Not only yourself, but ANY HOPE for future generations. That's millions, no, much more that, lives all in your balance. Don't let ANYONE pull you down, because just remember, you're here for a reason. Else, why would you be looking through these eyes right now?
This is a great song for girls who are in an abusive relationship. These girls may not have the strength to leave right away but it doesn't mean that the opinions of loved ones don't cross their minds in the dark moments. I heard this song after I left my abuser. It was very motivational at that time for me.
he does have a point I was in 8 grade and I got hit over and over and told her to stop and she kept doing it she even done it in a public place right front of my mom and her friend
Ladies, if a man hits you once, you leave him. Don't give him a second chance. Don't believe it when he says he didn't mean it. Don't believe it when he promises you he won't do it again. Because he will. And he's inevitably going to. Because once he realizes he has the power to lay even a finger on you, he knows he can do it again.
gema putra the comment is quite clear..people will give endless chances to a partner who abuses them in hopes it won't happen again or because they want to believe their partner is truly sorry. If it happens once, it will happen again so don't let it. Once that respect is lost, walk away because there's no getting it back
I love reading the comments ^-^ and the ones I agree with are if a girl /woman hits you you can hit back if they give it they can take it if a boy/man hits you hit him back its the same both ways everyone is equal?! Just my opinion no hate :3
This song is so much like my last relationship. He would always push me, hit me, & would verbally abuse me, & one day when I was at his house he sat there and told me how much I ment to him & how much he loved me then a little more than 15 minutes later he mood changed and he started hitting me & I just got to sick of it & I stood up, punched him in the stomach & face then said "I don't need you "love" anymore" & that was the end of that (: I hope his current girlfriend doesn't go through that. Hopefully I taught him a little something.
As hard as I can be sometimes, music like this just brings me back down to giving a damn about other people... even makes me tempted to give my skype to any of thos who need a friend and dont have one, i know how important it is to have someone there for you when your alone. soo dont be shy to send me a message you never know where life takes you
Johns Projects It's called Stockholm Syndrome. There's a psychological response in a person because of abuse that could keep them locked in. Look it up; it's actually quite fascinating.
Johns Projects I don't think you properly understand how hard it is to get help. There are a million reasons why someone might stay: They may feel they have no choice, either due to financial dependence, medical dependence, threats, either implicit or explicit, of harming either the victim, her family or friends, or of the abuser threatening themselves. Suicide threats such as "I'll have nothing to live for if you leave me" are common. In addition, the victim may just plain feel ashamed of coming forward, either out of not wanting to tell loved ones something they don't want to know or, in extreme cases, being accused of lying. To a certain extent, you are right: You can't force anyone out of an abusive relationship, and the victim has to take the initiative to get out themselves. But, outright dismissing the situation by saying, "It's her choice," isn't accurate. Abusive relationships are a trap; they wouldn't happen to often or last so long if they weren't.
Some ppl fall in love with them for a reason, that's why its hard for them. ppl just need to grasp that concept they should leave, they're not weak but confused and need to be clarify. They just don't realize it and feel this person loves them so much they have nothing to fear but the truth is they fear the one they love as well and don't think about it.
OMG I haven't listened to this song for a while XD I'm 13 and listened to this song since i was like 9 or 10. Maybe even 8 xD This song was my favorite x3 still is ;) 💞
It was obvious what this song was about from listening to the chorus but I could never catch what he sang the rest of the song xD so I'm here...very great song and lyrics. Time sure flies...
I love to sing along to music, but when it screams, I have trouble keeping up, because I have trouble screaming decently, and when I do, it sounds kind of like Alesana to me
You're not breathing right and using too much throat to force it. Try consciously taking in a deep breath, but have your diaphragm expand, pushing your stomach out. Use all the wind in there as power for your screams and try to keep your throat muscles as loose as possible.
hahahaha XD I'm singing out loud and I'm in a Chinese neighborhood. I can't pull off the screaming even if I wanted to try because they'll start poking the walls XD
Benjamin Wilden i reported to the cops, cps, her school, everything i could think of, but not a damn thing was done. I even snuck her in my house so that she didn't have to be with her dad. I've gone pretty damn hardcore.
that game series just got better and better, the only thing i hated was when they took away the mp3 player, so you could listin to the music while you blew stuff up
THIS SONG. IS JUST. PERFECTION. FUCK YOU SOCIETY, TURNING A BLIND EYE, THIS SONG IS AMAZING, I LOVE THIS SONG. AND IT SHOWS. THAT THIS. SHIT. IS. REAL. Ok L is done.
So I’ve wondered this, is there two versions of this song? I’ve been looking around and the version that you find on Spotify and in the music video sound different then this one. I prefer this one to the other one but I can’t find this one anywhere else besides this very video
Not sure if people still read comments here, but for you guys. It doesn't matter if you like the girl or not, but if you see this happening or know of it, you take a stand. Even if you get hurt in the end, don't be afraid. Be the right person. Take that stand and face him, tell him never to do it again and take the matters into your own hands. If she asks or tries to stop you, you make sure to tell her that this is wrong and she knows it and you are giving her the the chance to leave. Don't stand by on these matters. This is from experience. If I didn't stand up like I did, I wouldn't have my fiance right now. Be that man, take the chance, change her life.
I HAVE ONE REQUEST FOR HUMANITY! Would you mind not hurting each other because we are all humans with souls and all actions have consenquences.? IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK!?
My girlfriend thinks of this as our theme song. I saved from her abusive ex boyfriend by sing the chorus to him. Then I took him down like how he took her down so many times before.
The double standards I see on these comments just amuses me. "If a girl hits a guy, he deserves it. If a guy hits a girl, he's an idiot." My mother taught me that if a girl wants to hit like a man, she can get hit like a man. My brother took his girlfriend to a doctors appt a few weeks after she have birth to their daughter. He went to sign her in and she took the opportunity to go through his phone. She found something that she didn't like, so she put on a pair of brass knuckles and started swinging at him with their daughter in the car. So what does he do? Knocks her to the ground, takes his daughter, and calls for a ride home. Or how about the time an ex of mine started an argument with me, then took my pocket knife and attempted to drive the blade into my chest. I didn't hit her, but I took the knife and held her arms behind her back and requested that she calm down so we can talk. Guys are the only ones that can be violent? If you think that, fuck you.
i agree with your opinion mostly, although most of the time the situation can be handled without hitting. if a woman gets that violent she needs to to where to pick her fights. However as the song references a man should NEVER hit a woman without a really good reason and that's only in cases like you said.
Thehourglass100 If someone is hitting you repeatedly and you hit them back it doesn't necessarily have to be out of anger, it's defending yourself. No matter how little damage the girls punches are dealing, she still doesn't have the right to hit someone and not be hit back. Although in most cases, a guy could just simply hold the girl down, he should still defend himself in some way.
Adrian Hipolito ok I gotta say this but at the end when you said if you think that than fuck you that was funny but the part when your girl friend tries to kill that is not cool but if anyone thinks that than fuck off
Violence doesn't have a gender, considering *anyone* with the ability and intent to harm can do just that. A woman's fist doesn't make it any less abusive than a man's.
When i listen to music i make up my own little music videos In this one a kids farther dies and the mother moves on to an abusive husband, the kid tries to stop him but cant so when the kid grows up he joins the army. Then when returning the kid finally stands up for his mom then they leave END. Call it sad i like to use my imagination so i dont care. SORRY IF YOU RELATE TO THIS COMMENT
my sister suffered abuse with a boyfriend at 16. he did the unthinkable and always threats my sis. i saw the burning bed and was disgusted by the domestic violence scenes.
ik its tough but we all have to live through it. u need someone that will make u smile whenever u are having a bad day. It's tough on trying to find that one person but it is worth it when u do
i've only heard this band's name in passing, and just found this video in the related videos section to some other song tonight. i never knew they were Christian (i listen to tons and tons of Christian rock/metal but never heard this band's name mentioned) but it would appear they are! nice.
People go throughout stuff like this song describes and others just ignore it. This needs to stop. People get abused while in a relationship with jackasses. And it's not right. So make it stop
A real man never hits a woman. EVER. End of story. What pisses me off more is that it's so hard to tell the women being abused they deserve better because they start believing the abuse is their fault! Then you can't even beat the guy up because then you're charged for assault! It sickens me.. and it pisses me off more when it's ignored.
20secondsofcourage1 No one should ever hit anyone. The only time it's right to hit someone, is in self-defense. Gender has nothing to do with anything.
Personally, I have no problem hitting a girl. I'm not abusive though. I'd never hit someone if they didn't threaten me or put their hands on me. But this whole: You should never hit a girl under any circumstances!" thing is bullshit. What if she's coming at you with a knife? What if she is trying to drown your kids or your pet? If a woman wants to be treated equally as a man, then you get the same treatment all across the board. If you're coming at me for no reason with the intent to actually harm me, I'm not pulling punches. You're not gonna get sympathy cause your gender is "weaker".
I'm sexist? Yet you're the one who is requesting privileges based on your own gender? Irony police! Arrest this woman! Seriously though. What makes you think that women should be exempt from violence? If you come at me with a knife, or any weapon, or if you simply start swinging at me; I will retaliate. Man or woman, it wouldn't matter to me. Self-defense is self-defense. Whether or not you have a vagina wouldn't/shouldn't influence how hard you're going to get hit.
Lol i love how we all hate the idea of a guy hitting a girl but take it down to basics. Its offensive to some because of the sense of helplessness that goes hand in hand with a man (stronger) beating a women (weaker). That thomas kid just got fifteen congrats for sticking up for the girl and he was right in doing so i have done the same im not arguing that. But he got his ass kicked several times in doing so thus proving he is weaker then her boyfriend so isnt it just as wrong for him to get beat up by a stronger male? MAIN MESSAGE it isnt just about guys hitting girls, its about someone whos helpless, in this case winning a fight, having a chance to defend themselves whether its a guy or a girl it shouldnt matter. My ex tried to stab me with a broken candle holder for something stupid, i bear hugged her until she stopped. If i attacked her and she managed to stop me would we be looking at it the same way? fuck social norms ok fine yes girls are generally physically weaker therfore more likely to physical abuse but there are those who are guys and are still in the same boat but i didnt read one message regarding the weak in general only about a bf hitting his gf. Which for the arguments sake is still absolutely unacceptable unless she is capable of inflicting as much damage to you as you would to her. Should i of let my ex stab me cause guys should use force on girls? it goes deeper then the lyrics, just fucking watch spider man or something. With great power comes great responcibility. Strong help weak. Boy or Girl. Stop making it seem like girls are helpless and can do nothing because then your just perpetuating the problem. PEACE,
It may sound toyish but even if a girls hits a guy, they should just take it and walk away. It's really not that serious. No matter the situation, it wrong to hit a girl. At the most restrain them like seriously. Lol
Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy One look puts the rhythm in my hand. Still I'll never understand why you hang around I see what's going down. Cover up with make-up in the mirror Tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again You cry alone and then he swears he loves you. Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect Every action in this world will bear a consequence If you wade around forever, you will surely drown I see what's going down. I see the way you go and say you're right again, Say you're right again Heed my lecture. Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found [2x] Face down in the dirt, She said, "This doesn't hurt." She said, "I finally had enough." One day she will tell you that she has had enough [Album version:] It's coming round again. [Music video version:] He's coming round again. [2x] Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground? Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found [2x] Face down in the dirt, She said, "This doesn't hurt." She said, "I finally had enough."
I remember I had this recorded on my massively mini media player years ago off of 106.1 kiss FM I remember some couple was arguing on the air before Ricky played this song that was in like 2007.
Always coming back to this. This version of the song is my favorite
My father was abused by my mom. She bloodied him up often and he never fought back because he was taught to never hit a girl.

For some reason they played this song during my eighth grade formal.
sparklingxsoda LOL
sparklingxsoda Is that a problem I personally would love that like just yes.
Jayden Welch It's a good song, but the song is about abusive relationships - why would you want to play such a song during a formal?
sparklingxsoda They were preparing you for the real world
PapaKuhn That's a little fucked up lmao
This version is SOOOOO much better. The scream at the end I FINALY HAD ENOUGGGGGHHHH makes it more intense and relatable.
Best song ever! Brings me back to my middle school days when they were big!

No mames wey
This "Do you feel like man when pushing her around, do you feel better now as she falls to the ground" part is what I think to Alois Trancy when he is peeking on Hannah

Dear Whoever Is Reading This,
You're a beautiful person. You've made it this far in your life, you were one of the fastest, and you've made it through the complications of birth.

It was very motivational at that time for me.
I'm a guy and i had an abusive girlfriend. It's not just girls who are abused. It can happen to anyone.
I know that. I should have addressed abuse with both sexes. You're right. I don't agree with physical violence by anyone.
he does have a point I was in 8 grade and I got hit over and over and told her to stop and she kept doing it she even done it in a public place right front of my mom and her friend
dillon carlson
mine was the summer between 8th grade and highschool. Im glad i got out of it.
yeah I glad I got out of it too she doing it still by what my friends been telling me and even got wrost
Ladies, if a man hits you once, you leave him. Don't give him a second chance. Don't believe it when he says he didn't mean it. Don't believe it when he promises you he won't do it again. Because he will. And he's inevitably going to. Because once he realizes he has the power to lay even a finger on you, he knows he can do it again.
what the fuck ?
i dont undretsatnd what u say
gema putra the comment is quite clear..people will give endless chances to a partner who abuses them in hopes it won't happen again or because they want to believe their partner is truly sorry. If it happens once, it will happen again so don't let it. Once that respect is lost, walk away because there's no getting it back

Same thing applies to female abusers.
@@BansheeKing22 duh
the red jump suit apparatus is an awesome band. i love pretty much every one of their songs. they are just a mind blowing band
this song made me fall in love with this band !!!
I love reading the comments ^-^ and the ones I agree with are if a girl /woman hits you you can hit back if they give it they can take it if a boy/man hits you hit him back its the same both ways everyone is equal?! Just my opinion no hate :3
FINALLY!!!!Someone spoke the truth!
true!!!!
that's not entirely true the woman has to hit the guy 3 times at which point he may hit 1 time and only with an open hand
Brandi Nelson Hey, i hear some girls like to hit with their rings turned around to cut? Rules still apply then?
I wouldn't know I don't hit people +Nathan Siegel
This song is so much like my last relationship. He would always push me, hit me, & would verbally abuse me, & one day when I was at his house he sat there and told me how much I ment to him & how much he loved me then a little more than 15 minutes later he mood changed and he started hitting me & I just got to sick of it & I stood up, punched him in the stomach & face then said "I don't need you "love" anymore" & that was the end of that (: I hope his current girlfriend doesn't go through that. Hopefully I taught him a little something.

Dude. It's her choice. You are NOT the default position.
Johns Projects It's called Stockholm Syndrome. There's a psychological response in a person because of abuse that could keep them locked in. Look it up; it's actually quite fascinating.
dragonkeeper19600 I'm quite aware of that. Still, her choice 100%.
Johns Projects I don't think you properly understand how hard it is to get help.

You deserve an award for this. Sadly, not enough people realize this fact.
Some ppl fall in love with them for a reason, that's why its hard for them. ppl just need to grasp that concept they should leave, they're not weak but confused and need to be clarify. They just don't realize it and feel this person loves them so much they have nothing to fear but the truth is they fear the one they love as well and don't think about it.
OMG I haven't listened to this song for a while XD I'm 13 and listened to this song since i was like 9 or 10. Maybe even 8 xD This song was my favorite x3 still is ;) 💞
same x'3
Same!

Here from saints row 2 best saints row ever
yknow I was obsessed with this song in my emo phase and tbh its still a pretty good song
It was obvious what this song was about from listening to the chorus but I could never catch what he sang the rest of the song xD so I'm here...very great song and lyrics. Time sure flies...
SUCH A FREAKING GOOD SONG
I got here after playing Saints Row 2 after a while, this is one of my favorite songs.
of course loved this song since like 5th grade...im a sophomore
same omggg
samme
georgeellas62 same with the junior thing orrr

I love to sing along to music, but when it screams, I have trouble keeping up, because I have trouble screaming decently, and when I do, it sounds kind of like Alesana to me
then afterwords it feels like my throat is bleeding
Saul Sepulveda That is horrible advice haha, that's a great way to ppermanently fuck up your vocal cords
me too bro
You're not breathing right and using too much throat to force it. Try consciously taking in a deep breath, but have your diaphragm expand, pushing your stomach out. Use all the wind in there as power for your screams and try to keep your throat muscles as loose as possible.
hahahaha XD I'm singing out loud and I'm in a Chinese neighborhood. I can't pull off the screaming even if I wanted to try because they'll start poking the walls XD
this song wake me when I"ll sleep, so I like it.pls. continue making song.!
i think of my friend Jenna when i hear this song. she's like a sister to me and i hated not being able to do shit about her abuse :^/
Just be there for her. I'm sorry I went through abuse
RebelBelle yeah, I'm there and will always be there for her
+I am Cupid You are a good human being. *hugs*
XX
Benjamin Wilden i reported to the cops, cps, her school, everything i could think of, but not a damn thing was done. I even snuck her in my house so that she didn't have to be with her dad. I've gone pretty damn hardcore.

Ashwin Clifford SAME SAME

that game series just got better and better, the only thing i hated was when they took away the mp3 player, so you could listin to the music while you blew stuff up
Yes saints row 2 has lead me here! Love all the games!!!!
Ha, I remember when this song got me through it.

That was a correct way to reply *****
THIS SONG. IS JUST. PERFECTION. FUCK YOU SOCIETY, TURNING A BLIND EYE, THIS SONG IS AMAZING, I LOVE THIS SONG. AND IT SHOWS. THAT THIS. SHIT. IS. REAL.
Ok L is done.
I wish my sister would listen to this song. Maybe then she would dump that sack of shit that she's been with for the past four years...
So I’ve wondered this, is there two versions of this song? I’ve been looking around and the version that you find on Spotify and in the music video sound different then this one. I prefer this one to the other one but I can’t find this one anywhere else besides this very video
Just kick their balls. And this kind of music need all the attention. THIS is what I call music. *sigh*..
Not sure if people still read comments here, but for you guys. It doesn't matter if you like the girl or not, but if you see this happening or know of it, you take a stand. Even if you get hurt in the end, don't be afraid. Be the right person. Take that stand and face him, tell him never to do it again and take the matters into your own hands. If she asks or tries to stop you, you make sure to tell her that this is wrong and she knows it and you are giving her the the chance to leave. Don't stand by on these matters. This is from experience. If I didn't stand up like I did, I wouldn't have my fiance right now. Be that man, take the chance, change her life.
I...AM...IN...LOVE...WITH...THIS..SONG!!!!!!!!!!
Feel like flying a fighter jet with this music!!
I love this song!BEAUTIFUL!!♥
I HAVE ONE REQUEST FOR HUMANITY! Would you mind not hurting each other because we are all humans with souls and all actions have consenquences.?
IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK!?
How dare you barge in here (the internet) and fling unreasonable requests!
hey, some guy in the future: the world is currently in a pandemic. your request is, in fact, unreasonable.
My girlfriend thinks of this as our theme song. I saved from her abusive ex boyfriend by sing the chorus to him. Then I took him down like how he took her down so many times before.
So you sang to him before attacking him?
That so romantic and heroic!!!
***** Yes, but it was more like a tackle.
***** Thanks.
***** best comment ever.
Pro tip: don't look at the comments they're full of sad stories
PROTIP
This is the version I'm used to, and for some reason they don't have this one on spotify
The double standards I see on these comments just amuses me. "If a girl hits a guy, he deserves it. If a guy hits a girl, he's an idiot."
My mother taught me that if a girl wants to hit like a man, she can get hit like a man. My brother took his girlfriend to a doctors appt a few weeks after she have birth to their daughter. He went to sign her in and she took the opportunity to go through his phone. She found something that she didn't like, so she put on a pair of brass knuckles and started swinging at him with their daughter in the car. So what does he do? Knocks her to the ground, takes his daughter, and calls for a ride home.
Or how about the time an ex of mine started an argument with me, then took my pocket knife and attempted to drive the blade into my chest. I didn't hit her, but I took the knife and held her arms behind her back and requested that she calm down so we can talk.
Guys are the only ones that can be violent? If you think that, fuck you.
i agree with your opinion mostly, although most of the time the situation can be handled without hitting. if a woman gets that violent she needs to to where to pick her fights. However as the song references a man should NEVER hit a woman without a really good reason and that's only in cases like you said.
Thehourglass100 If someone is hitting you repeatedly and you hit them back it doesn't necessarily have to be out of anger, it's defending yourself. No matter how little damage the girls punches are dealing, she still doesn't have the right to hit someone and not be hit back. Although in most cases, a guy could just simply hold the girl down, he should still defend himself in some way.
Adrian Hipolito
ok I gotta say this but at the end when you said if you think that than fuck you that was funny but the part when your girl friend tries to kill that is not cool but if anyone thinks that than fuck off
Damn.. I'm late. Good song, tho
my emo phase. 2004-2013. rip
F
Love your page ❤️❤️
Violence doesn't have a gender, considering *anyone* with the ability and intent to harm can do just that. A woman's fist doesn't make it any less abusive than a man's.
WOOT SAINTS ROW TWO!!!
wait is that right? i havent played saints row two in awhile
wolfmoon848 and if you guys did not know this is about abuse .-.
Yes Saints Row 2 had the best soundtrack with P!ATD
When i listen to music i make up my own little music videos
In this one a kids farther dies and the mother moves on to an abusive husband, the kid tries to stop him but cant so when the kid grows up he joins the army. Then when returning the kid finally stands up for his mom then they leave END.
Call it sad i like to use my imagination so i dont care.
SORRY IF YOU RELATE TO THIS COMMENT
I'm pretty sure I've seen a video that's along those lines. Either that or I imagined it too :p
I do it to I like that one
Sorry? God no, That's not a bad thing if people relate to this.
I love your story
that's really good! you should write stories and of you do HOW HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND THEM YET? seriously it's really super good
wow i didn't know there was a version where he screams, love it though!!!!! :D
my sister suffered abuse with a boyfriend at 16. he did the unthinkable and always threats my sis. i saw the burning bed and was disgusted by the domestic violence scenes.
I've heard this song before , but I've never really listen to the lyrics .
Anyone watching this in 2016?
yeah
+Shaumil Deb totally
yeee
hell yeah! i was serious when i said till death do us part! XD
YEAH!!
A perfect message for all men out there who's fond of picking on girls...a really great job for this bond for composing a song for issues like three😁👍
🎶🎶Do you feel like a man?? When you push her around, do you feel better now as she falls to the ground. 🎶🎶
All my relationships have been like this :(
If you ever need to talk about it, shoot me a PM kay? I've been through a few situations like this too. ^_^
Alicezx T Good guy Greg here ladies and gents
ik its tough but we all have to live through it. u need someone that will make u smile whenever u are having a bad day. It's tough on trying to find that one person but it is worth it when u do
I don't have relationship :(
I used to be but it ended but i dont let it bring me down too much
punk4eva :)
You got balls putting this here.
Good luck to you. :)
Who's watching in 2017
Yea boi
not me
Doesn't that hurt your throat when you scream like that...
Yaaa
It shouldn't hurt if you scream correctly.
Not in the least when you do it right.
Its funny that not many people know that RJA is a Christian band lol
At least they still make good music. I think I can forgive the transgression.
i've only heard this band's name in passing, and just found this video in the related videos section to some other song tonight. i never knew they were Christian (i listen to tons and tons of Christian rock/metal but never heard this band's name mentioned) but it would appear they are! nice.
stfu... fuck off
Mark Anthony Bulaon no.
Ive been looking for this song for the longest...
1:10 you're*
This video was uploaded in 2007 and it's still getting daily comments? Wtf.
Dude its the best song ever
People go throughout stuff like this song describes and others just ignore it. This needs to stop. People get abused while in a relationship with jackasses. And it's not right. So make it stop
Was drifting to this song. Thank you SiriusXM
A real man never hits a woman. EVER. End of story. What pisses me off more is that it's so hard to tell the women being abused they deserve better because they start believing the abuse is their fault! Then you can't even beat the guy up because then you're charged for assault! It sickens me.. and it pisses me off more when it's ignored.
20secondsofcourage1 No one should ever hit anyone. The only time it's right to hit someone, is in self-defense. Gender has nothing to do with anything.
Well, no shit genius.
Just like my "mate" and his gf
Haha if you like the lass. I hope it turns out alright for you as well.
Jarred Frost Shes got a new bf
aww :(
i dont care
Luke Polidano well it sounds like you moved on, well and good.
good song but this sounds different
It's the original
It's the non screamo version.
+breanntheartist1989 it feels like it has more screamo than the other one I listened to wat
you are most likely used to the zebrahead version
+Dragalge From The Depths zebrahead version??!!?? I don't think so
This song is so deep and emotional...This song reminds of myself with things going on in my family
This definitely does not sound like it was performed by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Personally, I have no problem hitting a girl. I'm not abusive though. I'd never hit someone if they didn't threaten me or put their hands on me. But this whole: You should never hit a girl under any circumstances!" thing is bullshit. What if she's coming at you with a knife? What if she is trying to drown your kids or your pet?
If a woman wants to be treated equally as a man, then you get the same treatment all across the board. If you're coming at me for no reason with the intent to actually harm me, I'm not pulling punches. You're not gonna get sympathy cause your gender is "weaker".
Gary Barlow You're just sexist. Against women.
I'm sexist? Yet you're the one who is requesting privileges based on your own gender? Irony police! Arrest this woman!
Seriously though. What makes you think that women should be exempt from violence? If you come at me with a knife, or any weapon, or if you simply start swinging at me; I will retaliate. Man or woman, it wouldn't matter to me. Self-defense is self-defense. Whether or not you have a vagina wouldn't/shouldn't influence how hard you're going to get hit.
Gary Barlow Cough. Sorry. I was making a joke, referring to feminists.
Lol you should end such statements in Kappa. x3 It would help.
I agree with you and I'm a girl . I feel like if I don't hit you , you don't hit me. Cause tbh there are A LOT of girls who hit like men.
Lol i love how we all hate the idea of a guy hitting a girl but take it down to basics. Its offensive to some because of the sense of helplessness that goes hand in hand with a man (stronger) beating a women (weaker). That thomas kid just got fifteen congrats for sticking up for the girl and he was right in doing so i have done the same im not arguing that. But he got his ass kicked several times in doing so thus proving he is weaker then her boyfriend so isnt it just as wrong for him to get beat up by a stronger male? MAIN MESSAGE it isnt just about guys hitting girls, its about someone whos helpless, in this case winning a fight, having a chance to defend themselves whether its a guy or a girl it shouldnt matter. My ex tried to stab me with a broken candle holder for something stupid, i bear hugged her until she stopped. If i attacked her and she managed to stop me would we be looking at it the same way? fuck social norms ok fine yes girls are generally physically weaker therfore more likely to physical abuse but there are those who are guys and are still in the same boat but i didnt read one message regarding the weak in general only about a bf hitting his gf. Which for the arguments sake is still absolutely unacceptable unless she is capable of inflicting as much damage to you as you would to her. Should i of let my ex stab me cause guys should use force on girls? it goes deeper then the lyrics, just fucking watch spider man or something. With great power comes great responcibility. Strong help weak. Boy or Girl. Stop making it seem like girls are helpless and can do nothing because then your just perpetuating the problem. PEACE,
wow.. the original. I missed this version thanks go the upload
It may sound toyish but even if a girls hits a guy, they should just take it and walk away. It's really not that serious. No matter the situation, it wrong to hit a girl. At the most restrain them like seriously. Lol
ppl should just srsly get along and women shouldnt hit men and men shouldnt hit women
That happens to me all the time And I Cant take it any more help
To be honest, I think it is wrong to hit anyone; man, woman, child, dog... just don't do it. violence never solves anything
Erised Holly yea exactly ppl should just get the freak along and stop fighting i mean really
Uh. No, That's called a double standard. If a women hits a man, he has a right to defend himself.
Why would a guy hit a girl? I mean it is very rude and abusive >-> There are some reasons to but still a man could kill a girl by abusing her :l
Vex Collins I get that but why would a girl hit a guy?
to protect themselves if nobody else is there, i had a bff that had to hit her bf because he was abusing her
Ik if the women hits the man then he has all rights to defend himself from her...
MX vs. ATV anyone or is that just me
steven Barry Yes, finally!, played that game on my PS2, memories...
iCristiano7HD i got it for PS2 now i have it on Xbox 360 (it sucks)
It was alright, it wasn't the best game I have ever played, I mostly loved the music.
i mean the game was alright should of not of said it sucked
Omg I was thinking the same exact thing when I hear this song xD
this is a good song!!! :)
Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make-up in the mirror
Tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again
Heed my lecture.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
[2x]
Face down in the dirt,
She said, "This doesn't hurt."
She said, "I finally had enough."
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
[Album version:] It's coming round again.
[Music video version:] He's coming round again.
[2x]
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you, my friend, one day this world's gonna end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found
[2x]
Face down in the dirt,
She said, "This doesn't hurt."
She said, "I finally had enough."
And of course no one cares for the abused men like always
David Hernandez
you are right that no one cares about men being beaten up by girls now that is messed and also other things too😌
saints row 2 anyone?
WTF_AM_I_DOING i just downloaded that game and that somg keeps coming up
All day 24/7 my favorite playlist in a video game
nice lyric video btw
Awesome song and no matter what I will never get tired of this song
I adore this song!
I remember I had this recorded on my massively mini media player years ago off of 106.1 kiss FM I remember some couple was arguing on the air before Ricky played this song that was in like 2007.
I learned about this song in the game MX vs ATV unleashed and it was AWESOME!
