I love how the line “What doesn’t kill you builds your throne” implies that some things that hurt you don’t necessarily make you stronger but instead are something to build on yourself because you’re already strong
@@haleyraven.lilrocket9241 my great uncle had brain cancer, part that makes me think you don’t have it is you completely forget everything and die a lot quicker so do tell, how are you still alive if you’re healthy enough to be on TH-cam and chat in the comments?
@@CitizenSoldier WOW you just changed my whole outlook on the hell I have been thru and I HAVE SURVIVED. Thank You 4 reminding me I can and will survive and nothing can hold me back. I LOVE UR MUSIC. I go straight 2 you and lay awake and just enjoy your music and I am able 2 fall alseep.
OHH MY GOSH YOU GUYS THIS SONG WAS FLIPPING AMAZING LIKE IM LOSING MY BRAIN HERE ❤️🔥❤️💘💕 THIS IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE SONG OF YOURS NOW I've always been a huge fan of your music I wish you guys would come to rock the desert and perform this one It would be AMAZING
I agree with you, Pal. It's a deep message. Fuck, all their songs have a good rhythm, but also good lyrics. Even though this is my second favorite song of their new album, the one I consider #top is Stronger than my Storm.
I feel you buddy. But please remember the line right after that: "But Hallelujah I'm not dead" Be very grateful you are breathing, cause that is proof you can change for the better, and proof others your worth. I have lost my own battles inside my head as well, but we all have to keep getting up... Don't we?
OH UGH, GOD! OCD-(ESPECIALLY THE SUBTYPES) IS A BITCH, (PARDON MY FRENCH), I HAVE IT TO. SO I GET YOU MY FRIEND. I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING DEPRESSION ON TOP OF THAT, I'M LETERALY AFRAID OF DEPRESSION TBH. SO, I DON'T MEAN THIS TO BE RUDE/INSINSITIVE BUT TRY TO STAY STRONG THERE ARE BETTER DAYS AHEAD.
Okay this song hits me hard for a different reason. It’s the more literal of the lyrics, I have several heart defects and have nearly died due to them several times. Some doctors even told my parents that I wouldn’t make it but they never gave up on me. Now days I no longer suffer physically my health is much more improved but my mental health is another story. I’ve been struggling with depression for a few years now and a few months ago my mother passed away and so my suicidal thoughts have gotten a lot worse. I found this band in my recommendations one day while searching for songs to make a Star Wars edit to, and I think my mom did this because every single one of your songs is something I can relate to some way or another and the type of music is my favorite as well. Your music has been making this difficult time for me much easier to cope with so thank you for making these songs.
Damn man that’s so tough :( I’m so sorry for your loss of what it sounds like, an amazing mother. Keep strong my friend, you have this no matter how hard it can get :)
Please don't hurt yourself, your mom would never want you to do that over your grief of losing her. I pray God will heal you physically and mentally and emotionally ❤️❤️❤️
My brother committed suicide. I have a semicolon tattoo. This one hits hard. Thank you for this. This is my every day struggle. Good to feel less alone.
Send you a Hug..❤️(っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ... even when you can't see him he will never be gone... He lives in your memory and in your heart and when you look outside the window.. he shines as the brightest star to make you happy❤️
@@StarForgers In grammar, to make a sentence longer you use a semicolon, making it longer, like life (I think, also sorry I’m not a good explainer lmao)
"Remember this what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne." This particular line really stands out to me because of how well it is written. I've certainly not had an easy life, since I've had it bred into my brain that I wasn't good enough for anyone, especially since a couple of my exes left me for another girl. That kind of stuff kills you inside, and it makes you never want to believe that you could be something more than what they said. I don't feel like I am quite ready to celebrate my life, though. I've always felt like I was not meant for love or happiness, but meant to give it to others instead. I've never lived for myself, and still don't know how to do that. Plus, my emotions are much more intense than others, and not knowing how to deal with that pain makes me suicidal.
@@CitizenSoldier Thank you! I've only just found your music recently, but I've been listening everyday since, and it has really helped me. I appreciate you too! :)
Rock on friend. I've had similar experiences. My last ex left me for another guy after 3 years. It really does hurt. Keep going, and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. You got this!
@@veteranjaguar8317 Geez, sounds like what happened to me. My first ex left me after 2 years cause I was "fat and didn't wear makeup" and then his friends persuaded him to give me another chance, after which he cheated on me after a year with this other girl he knew only a month. He picked her instead. Thank you for your kind words though. :)
this song really describes my life. I’ve been through so much. problem is that I’ve almost given up. but this…This song helps a lot. I’ve had it on my playlist for years and i have to put it on when im down and I just hear a voice in my head saying “hey fucker. Wake the hell up. Don’t give up.” Thanks for making this Citizen Soilders
This hit hard. I'm really struggling with about every single thing in life right now. I heard "hallelujah, I'm not dead" and absolutely broke. Yeah. I'm not dead. Hallelujah.
@@GLORIOUSCHONK Thanks. It's just, I miss talking to people. I am in touch with my family, but they just never seem to listen and I always have to put on a front for them, and most of my friends aren't close enough for me to feel safe talking to them. And doing normal stuff has just gotten so hard.
Same here. OMG I went 2 youtube and CS was my alert and out of all the ones and alot I been waiting 4 to put out something new I can't stop playing this 1 the others can wait till another day.
"I've lost wars inside my head. But hallelujah, I'm not dead!" As someone that's been struggling with (undiagnosed) Religious OCD, these words ring so true for me. Some days are easier than others, but I'm in a better place now than I was a year ago, and I'll take what I can get! And to whoever it reading this: Jesus loves you! Have a blessed day!
Pls don't mind me I'm just gonna put this lyrics here. Flatline, a breath away I was born with one foot in the grave Been to hell and back Dealt a real bad hand, but I live with that I've learned to face my darkness Now I embrace my doubt Don't go and plan my funeral Don't go and count me out (Don't go and count me out) Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah Hallelujah Wake up, another fight Am I the victim or the homicide? What's in my head left scars behind Every step is an uphill climb I've learned to live in shadows Even without the light I've learned to love the battles Only the strong survive (Only the strong survive) Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead So if you're black and blue And feeling so abused No, it don't make you damaged It makes you living proof That you are so much more Than all this hell you've known Remember this What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Found this song at 3 am and now I'm addicted. This somg is so relatable on so many levels! "Been through hell and back" ? Jeez, hitting me right in the feels. I swear, Citizen Soldier makes the most relatable songs known to mankind.

Hey citizen soldier, I truly appreciate the song. The line "Pain is the living proof that you are more than the hell you've known" hit me so hard. I over think everything and feel very bad about myself. All these intrusive thoughts completely beat me down everyday and hearing the line " I've lost wars in my mind" Made me realise im not the only one. Life is surely pain for me but some how listening to songs like this help me out a lot. I just hope you realise how much of a impact you make on people's lives. Again, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this song. Much love from 🇮India ❤
When my friend asked "Hallelujah? Isn't that another religion? " And I said "Please you don't understand anything about this song, listen well and understand then talk after "
@@justanobody8010 Hallelujah is commonly used a phrase of rejoicing in Christianity, but even with this understanding this comment is confusing as hell
I am finally leaving going home to East Coast and conquer my addiction. When I was in Cali I overdosed 4 times and came back to life with color and light and love. I was tortured and killed and beaten and drug addicted and traumatized but only the strongest people survive. Love you citizen soldier you helped me get through homelessness and pain and get through life
The lines "No, it don't make you damaged / It makes you living proof / That you are so much more / Than all this hell you've known" hit so deep I almost cried. My trauma and cptsd affect my every day life even when I don't have to interact with my abuser, and the feelings I have of being damaged or broken are dang near Constant. To hear this affirmation took a weight off of me today. Thank y'all for your amazing music
Makes me think of my sister in law. She only has a few month to live. Not sure if I should send this to her or not. She has spent almost a year in the hospital. Has died and been revived 6 times. Had been through hell and back, then back to hell a few times over. They don't even know what's wrong with her. Just that her body is shutting down. This started in april of last year with a stomach ache. And now she's going to die. What do we tell her 6 y/o daughter?
In my opinion try to make her feel love in her last hours and show her this song to give her a bit of joy that she survived this long, but with her daughter i really dont know, thats a hard question, u could tell her a brief info on whats happening even tho shes really young and tell her to stay by her moms side till the end and give her time to say things to her mom, she will probably say "i love u and im gonna miss u" etc, after her mother passes away tell her to fight and overcome every obstacle(s) in her way show momma that shes just as strong as her, but if u dont tell her this, tell her at least something like this “Momma will always be with her strong little girl, momma is never to far away, she'll always be listening to her baby even tho shes fully grown" if its possible buy something for your sister in law to give to her daughter a bear, plushy etc so that her daughter can in a way hug her mother after she gone Hopefully this never happens and ur sister in law gets better and recovers from this, good luck
@@kotrum6309 thank you. I just don't know if the song will make her feel better or not. The wee one knows most of what's going on. It's heart breaking that she is so used to her mom being in the hospital. Almost a year now. She was home a total for about 6 weeks on and off. The first time she was here for 3 weeks. Then a week. Then a couple days. Then this last time was about 36 hrs home then she had to go back to the hospital. I hope she gets better too but the doctors have given her only a few months. But shit man, she just keeps beating the odds. She is so strong lol. I'm bewildered by everything. I really am. She has quite a few things her mom has bought her to remember her by. It was so cute. My older niece from my brothers first wife, the wee one and her, V (my sister in law), she got the 3 of them a necklace set. It's a heart and on one side it say big sis, then mom in the middle then little sis on the other side and you put them together and they make a heart.
@@samanthastuessel7986 i dont know ur sister in law so i just thought since u were thinking about showing this to her it would give her a boost to her mentally or something but im glad to hear that the little one has multiple things so she can remember her mum, ur sister in law is strong if she has beaten the odds this far, who know she could prove the docs wrong and survive, and i know for sure the little one is going to cherish the necklace forever, wish u the best of luck to you, ur sister in law, the wee one and the rest of ur family
This songs make think of someone who has gone though tough time, dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts. But came though to the other side stronger.
I added this to my playlist before it even ended. I think we have all lost wars in our heads at least once, but guess what guys... You're reading this... You're alive... Hallelujah to all of you strong people :)
This song SLAPS! Not many songs are so good and catchy that I'm singing along halfway into my first listen and that's what I'm doing on my first listen. I'm already singing it like I've heard it a million times already This track is fire!!! Most songs I need to listen to a few times to decide if I love it or like it. But this song has me completely hooked on my first fucking listen. I see this song being one of your biggest hits
This is the music i needed, I've lost my dad, and my uncle was found dead on my birthday, i almost lost my mom, she's currently in hospital, and we live far from a hospital, and my mom needs to be near one, so i had to leave home, and stay with my sister in another city, my brother had to leave to California for school, and i can barely get a hold of my best friend. It's been so chaotic, i also have to leave the people i know, and get used to a completely different school, with completely different celebrations. And i won't get to continue learning my culture. (I'm Native American) And I'm not in a school, and i have to watch all tree of my nephews and my niece. I've lost so much recently and even my own free time, you guys make the best music i know. this helps more than you understand! Thank you!
"I've lost wars inside my head" Such a powerful line cause it truly is a mental battle to continue on. There may be no physical scars for some, but there are always mental ones.
I find it kind of ironic that I started listening to this song a bit more not long befor I was employed after trying to find a job for who knows how long... It has been a full month and I am going strong at my job... I've kinda taken this song as my personal anthem sense cos Hallelujah am not dead. Befor the day I got this job I was... aimless, didnt know what to do with my self, wasnt as active as I should, my mental health was in the shitter, and physically I wasn't much better, but sense I started working again, I have a heading again, if not a destination, my mental health got notably better, my mood improved, am getting back in shape bit by bit, given that its a physically active job and I have always enjoyed working with my hands and I am finally starting to put things in to motion again, and I am hopping to god that ones I start moving in my chosen direction, I never stop again. So thank you citizen soldier, thank you for helping me again. Поѕдрав и све најбоље од слушаоца из Србије!
Citizen Soldier, thank you for saving my brother. He has been fighting depression for years. There have been times I thought I would find him dead in his room, but he discovered your song and this one is his new favorite! He's getting better and I've actually seen him smile more! He has a ways to go, but you have helped him in such a huge way! I cannot thank you enough for letting my baby brother know he's not alone! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :')
I know this isn't a "Christian" song...But, This world wants to take us out, but we were created to live! Life isn't easy but its worth it. Don't give up!!!
I don't know if anyone will read this but I just wanna share it and continue listening to this amazing song. I was always bullied by people around me. For some reason, no one tried to be friends with me, or talk to me like I'm a normal person. I was always lonely and developed anxiety and depression throughout my life, feeling useless, worthless, nothing but someone who doesn't deserve to live and feeling like I'm disappointing even the people that doesn't know me. I don't know what Am I living for, why do I continue and why was I born in the first place? I feel like my place isn't here, that I'm not worth to even breath but when I think of dying, leaving everything behind, I'm scared. I'm scared of making my family suffer when it's all my fault I feel like this. Truth is, no one wants to die for real, we just want to feel happy, just a little time when we don't have to worry about every little thing, when we don't have to cry and feel guilty, when we would smile and be happy. We just want everything to be over, either the loss of someone or the feeling of being wortless because the people around you don't care at all, we all have scars we just can't forget. I always thought I'm alone, but I see so many people sharing stories and realize I'm not the only one and maybe I'm not someone who can say this but just... don't give up. Even if you feel like there is no tomorrow, like your world is crashing down and you have no place to hide, there are always better times and a good future that is waiting for you, you just have to be strong and face the world, cry if you want, do things that at least used to give you happiness and find someone to listen to you. It's always gonna be something for you, so... Believe in yourself, in the person you are and try to love yourself! ❤ I may not know you, but I love you, I know you're a strong person, a kind and amazing person and can do everything you dream for!
Personally you sound like someone I'd be friends with tho I'm very introverted irl so I'm not one to actually go up and talk to random people irl. I was one where I had to be introduced into a friend group. I will admit that if I saw you wearing let's say a star wars shirt I'd try to imitate the convo first as if I see we have a common interest I'd be more embolden(I don't know if that's the right word to use but it feels like it) to actually talk to someone
"There is only two ways to lose in this life. One is when you stop drawing breath. The other is when you give up." Here's to all of us around to listen to this.
Citizen Soldier has done it again!!!! Another amazing song. In today's world its amazing to find a band who constantly finds a way to reach its fans with masterful lyrics and they do it every single time!!! Much love guys
It’s been months, actually, no, it’s soon going to be nearly a year since I recovered from unwanted suicidal thoughts. During that time, I felt so low, and even came close to thinking of trying to harm myself several times. But now, I’m MUCH better. Though I’m not supposed to see it like this, it certainly felt like I went to living hell and back. To those who are still struggling with their mental health, don’t give up. You can get out of that dark place. It’s not going to happen instantly, but it *will* happen. And don’t try to do it alone. Be brave, and get help from others. If they’re not willing, find others who are. To those who have gotten past major hurdles involving their mental health, congrats! I’m glad that you did whatever it was that you did to get out of that low place you were in. The scars, whether emotional, mental, or physical still remain, but... you should think of them as proof that you survived whatever happened to you now. And of course, this may not be the end of your struggles, but whatever comes next, stand strong in the face of it.
I've dealt with depression for around 14 years now. Every song of yours that I've listened to speaks to me with different things. Thank you so so much with what you do for people like me. You're truly a blessing.
Hallelujah! I'm not dead! Thank you, CItizen Soldier, for releasing these bangers during these dark times. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this music helps me keep persevering. Blessings to you all!
Listened to this at work, and have to say, my manager recognized you guys! Your music hits hard enough to have people of all ages listening to you, and enjoying it. Your music is wonderful, and means so much!
I've had 2 suicide attempts in my life and I'm only 15. But I have a reason to live, my girlfriend and my best friend. I'm living for them. My mother had been pushing me over the edge for 5 years, maybe even more. But I'm done dealing with this. I'm staying even if it hurts. HALLELUJAH I'M NOT DEAD!! 💜
“No it don’t make you damaged; it makes you living proof” ...I might need a minute or two A banger that speaks, just what I expect from Citizen Soldier~
In a few hours, it will be two years since you gave us this song. I have a story that isn't really mine to tell. You see, the day this song came out, I listened to it quite a few times, then a messaged my friend, and asked her if it was OK if she heard your song, then pass it onto her son. He was 18, and was born with practically half a heart, and his life was in most ways like the words in your song. Until recently I never really comprehended what your song was for her son, he quoted it, he listened to it, sung to it, and used it as one of his songs as his casket left his memorial, just over a month later. I still have this song in my play list, but I do not attribute this song for any negative, but as the greatest positive for one person in their final days. Thank you very much for this song.
I wanna say thank you for making this song. Recently I moved out from my family’s house - it was a situation that I didn’t even know how bad it was or how bad it kept getting until I had the space and genuinely good people around me to finally feel like I could breathe again. Every day I learn more about how messed up my whole life’s been, but now I have a good job and rent a good house all far younger than I ever imagined I’d be. I never thought I’d make it past 16 - I didn’t think I could bear to live that long - but it’s been more than a few years since then and I’m still alive. In fact I love my life; something I never really thought was possible before, and it’s songs like these that helped me get through it when I was too scared and needed the support I couldn’t get from anyone else. Don’t ever forget you’ve changed lives ;
Me: *sees a new Citizen Soldier song out. CLICKS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!* Less than five seconds in and I was HOOKED! OMG this was TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!
I discovered this amazing song when my best friend showed me the ringtone he had for whenever I called. When I listened to the whole song, I noticed how much I could really relate to the lyrics. Almost 9 years ago, on December 26th, I attempted to OD on a muscle relaxer. I ended up unconscious, unresponsive, and unable to breathe on my own. I was rushed to a hospital and had to be on a ventilator for a week. Every time they tried to take me off or decrease the amount of breaths it was giving me, I stopped breathing completely. If I hadn't told my mom that I even took the pills, I would not be here. Your songs are amazing and I can relate to a lot of them. You are the first band to ever accomplish that for me. I'm so thankful that I found your music, especially when I needed it the most. Please don't ever stop writing your songs and blessing us with your amazing talents ❤️
My best friend Foster showed this to me and told me to read the description. I could not be more grateful for this. What happened to me didn't kill me, it just made me stronger and this song gives that message. Most teens my age don't really appreciate music like this. Mostly, they like rap and music like that. And each to their own but this, music like this keeps me going.
I'm a Security Officer at a Hospital, I work the graveyard shift and have to deal with some unsavory people, especially during the pandemic. There are days where it feels like too much but we push on and this song speaks the truth, we may get beaten down by emotions and literal junkies but we remain standing to protect the hospital staff and patients during these uncertain times.
Citizen soldier always motivated us. When I'm depressed I listen their Let It Burn song and feelings relax. Thank you so much Citizen Soldier ❤️ We want 23 more great songs from you guys
"so if you're black and blue, and feeling so abused, not it don't make you damaged, it means you're living proof" I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Your lyrics are like a prayer man
This song touched my soul! Dealing with depression is the hardest challenge for me. Suicidal thoughts and thoughts of people being happier without me have crossed my mind almost on the daily, yet I still fight to survive. I’m so glad I found this song! Rock on 🤟
I was told i wasn't supposed to be born. My brother died stillborn before me. I wished I could switch places many of times. I struggle with depression and its only gotten worse the past 20 years. I have tried to end my life a few times. I even wrote my will out and how i would want to be buried. However I have come to be blessed with friends who have been supportive of my illness and because of that I am not dead
"Pains a gift, not a curse" it means you aren't dead yet, means you still got things you can do, people to meet, and places to see. So don't make people wait on your hearse, lead your journey, tell your own story, have an adventure. You aren't dead yet, have some fun.
Those wars inside my head get me nearly every time. I've slowly gotten better. Thank you for bringing these issues to the forefront. It's not just a private battle, we have to work together to beat this if we want to be here to help our kids.
This is easily one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Every single line is so true, so powerful and... Damn it, this song can't be described with words. You guys are amazing!
love the song, the text is just to true and relatable, people dont like to see it but these problems exist and its soo good to see someone not shying away from the topics but embracing it
"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" is the lyric that sticks out the most to me because I believe it's the pain I've lived through that's made me who I am today.
After failing some of the exams of my last semester, falling into a depression and not leaving my room for three weeks... This is a good song to get my life back toghether. Thanks man, you are a real life saver.
Living on a Razor edge Dancing with demons tasted dead I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead! That's basically my part I've been cutting for a long time...
If it weren’t for you guys 3 years ago I would be dead but hearing your songs makes me feel better and get my mind off what is happening, thank for everything Citizens Soldier
I love how the line “What doesn’t kill you builds your throne” implies that some things that hurt you don’t necessarily make you stronger but instead are something to build on yourself because you’re already strong

"What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne." I think that it the most inspiring lyric I have heard in a long time. Thank you for this.
If you like that theme, check out Throne by Bring Me the Horizon!
I agree with you, Pal. It's a deep message. Fuck, all their songs have a good rhythm, but also good lyrics. Even though this is my second favorite song of their new album, the one I consider #top is Stronger than my Storm.
@@xpiece1109 Stronger Than My Storm is my favorite in this album too.
Pain can give you two things:
- it can make you weak and surrender...
- or it can make you stronger
In my case it makes me stronger...
Nd I'm proud to say that...
Thnx to some meres who chng me...
Fear.
Fear everything and run.

Face everything and rise.

This line hurts .....
I feel you buddy. But please remember the line right after that:
"But Hallelujah I'm not dead"
Be very grateful you are breathing, cause that is proof you can change for the better, and proof others your worth. I have lost my own battles inside my head as well, but we all have to keep getting up... Don't we?

Me - If we didn't have pain, we wouldn't know what anything good was like.
Too true.
Record Producer: So... we need another hit.
Citizen Soldier: We've got you.
Lol
Haha! Appreciate you Brogan 💜;
"Only the strong the survive". You're are strong, because you're still here. Never stop fighting, survivor.
Appreciate that Jacob 🖤
I have severe OCD and chronic depression. Some days, getting out of bed is a win. This song screams hope.
So True you know if it's for ya!
OH UGH, GOD! OCD-(ESPECIALLY THE SUBTYPES) IS A BITCH, (PARDON MY FRENCH), I HAVE IT TO. SO I GET YOU MY FRIEND. I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING DEPRESSION ON TOP OF THAT, I'M LETERALY AFRAID OF DEPRESSION TBH. SO, I DON'T MEAN THIS TO BE RUDE/INSINSITIVE BUT TRY TO STAY STRONG THERE ARE BETTER DAYS AHEAD.
Okay this song hits me hard for a different reason.
It’s the more literal of the lyrics, I have several heart defects and have nearly died due to them several times. Some doctors even told my parents that I wouldn’t make it but they never gave up on me. Now days I no longer suffer physically my health is much more improved but my mental health is another story. I’ve been struggling with depression for a few years now and a few months ago my mother passed away and so my suicidal thoughts have gotten a lot worse. I found this band in my recommendations one day while searching for songs to make a Star Wars edit to, and I think my mom did this because every single one of your songs is something I can relate to some way or another and the type of music is my favorite as well. Your music has been making this difficult time for me much easier to cope with so thank you for making these songs.
Thanks for sharing that 🖤
I have felt the same my brother, wish you could face all those hard times 🙏
Damn man that’s so tough :( I’m so sorry for your loss of what it sounds like, an amazing mother. Keep strong my friend, you have this no matter how hard it can get :)
Please don't hurt yourself, your mom would never want you to do that over your grief of losing her.
I pray God will heal you physically and mentally and emotionally ❤️❤️❤️
I hope that you will get better my friend stay strong love
"Remember what doesn't kill you builds your throne." #HallelujahImNotDead is the anthem I have been waiting for. ❤
Boom. Thanks Heather 🖤
My brother committed suicide. I have a semicolon tattoo. This one hits hard. Thank you for this. This is my every day struggle. Good to feel less alone.
Sorry for your loss Bruce 💜; Let's keep fighting
Send you a Hug..❤️(っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ... even when you can't see him he will never be gone... He lives in your memory and in your heart and when you look outside the window.. he shines as the brightest star to make you happy❤️
big hug from mexico bro
What does the semicolon represent though? I've not heard of it.
I just saw the semicolon in the video but still not sure about it.
@@StarForgers In grammar, to make a sentence longer you use a semicolon, making it longer, like life (I think, also sorry I’m not a good explainer lmao)
"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse"
It's a reminder that we're still alive, love that!
Thanks Fernando 🖤
"Only the strong survive"
Me: this is definitely how i would describe the world today!
Love the song its so amazing!❤❤
Thanks Jessica 🖤
"What doesn't kill you builds your throne" Easily my favorite line
Glad to hear that Adam 💜;
It’s a great lyric
Like Kelly clarkson "what doed not kill you make me stronger" but rock. So better :3!
love the purple yellow color scheme, the song is also so very worth the wait
Appreciate that 🖤
Agreed! I hope to see some of that purple and yellow or purple and white on the merch store.
"Remember this what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne." This particular line really stands out to me because of how well it is written. I've certainly not had an easy life, since I've had it bred into my brain that I wasn't good enough for anyone, especially since a couple of my exes left me for another girl. That kind of stuff kills you inside, and it makes you never want to believe that you could be something more than what they said. I don't feel like I am quite ready to celebrate my life, though. I've always felt like I was not meant for love or happiness, but meant to give it to others instead. I've never lived for myself, and still don't know how to do that. Plus, my emotions are much more intense than others, and not knowing how to deal with that pain makes me suicidal.
Learning how to heal and love yourself is the greatest gift. I swear by it. Go fourth and never look back! 💜
Appreciate you Brianna 💜; Let's keep fighting
@@CitizenSoldier Thank you! I've only just found your music recently, but I've been listening everyday since, and it has really helped me. I appreciate you too! :)
Rock on friend. I've had similar experiences. My last ex left me for another guy after 3 years. It really does hurt. Keep going, and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. You got this!
@@veteranjaguar8317 Geez, sounds like what happened to me. My first ex left me after 2 years cause I was "fat and didn't wear makeup" and then his friends persuaded him to give me another chance, after which he cheated on me after a year with this other girl he knew only a month. He picked her instead. Thank you for your kind words though. :)
this song really describes my life. I’ve been through so much. problem is that I’ve almost given up. but this…This song helps a lot. I’ve had it on my playlist for years and i have to put it on when im down and I just hear a voice in my head saying “hey fucker. Wake the hell up. Don’t give up.” Thanks for making this Citizen Soilders
I love how every single fkng song is accurate as fuck.
We try 💜;
This hit hard. I'm really struggling with about every single thing in life right now. I heard "hallelujah, I'm not dead" and absolutely broke.
Yeah. I'm not dead. Hallelujah.
This is why I love their music
It hits you hard but can be the support you need
❤❤❤
Same here. I've been lucky, relatively, but the idea of having friends in real life or going places ever again seems super unrealistic.
Stay strong 🖤 Appreciate you friend
@@Truffle85 That's so close to home for me, I cannot even explain it. Anything you need to vent about? I'm an open ear if you need it.
@@GLORIOUSCHONK Thanks. It's just, I miss talking to people. I am in touch with my family, but they just never seem to listen and I always have to put on a front for them, and most of my friends aren't close enough for me to feel safe talking to them. And doing normal stuff has just gotten so hard.
How is it that Citizen Soldier never fails to put me at a loss for words??! Those lyrics, the music... how can it all be so perfectly flawless?!
Thanks Sahar 💜;
@@CitizenSoldier the flaws are what make it's sole. and what makes it great.
"I've lost wars inside my head" that hits hard, this song is definitely going to be on repeat for awhile.
Appreciate you Nicole 🖤
Citizen soldier: uploads a new song
Me: DROPS EVERYTHING and races to the video!! 🤘 absolutely killer song! You guys always have the best songs 🎵
Hi Heather! You're always there for us 🖤 Thank you
Same here. OMG I went 2 youtube and CS was my alert and out of all the ones and alot I been waiting 4 to put out something new I can't stop playing this 1 the others can wait till another day.
Yeah, I pretty much just left Latin class to watch this.
@Heather Oquist yoo sorry i looked at your profile and came across No Name Faces - One Way Ticket. What an awesome band and song, thank you!
@@NygmaNL your welcome, I'm glad I could help you find a new band!
"I've lost wars inside my head. But hallelujah, I'm not dead!" As someone that's been struggling with (undiagnosed) Religious OCD, these words ring so true for me. Some days are easier than others, but I'm in a better place now than I was a year ago, and I'll take what I can get!
And to whoever it reading this: Jesus loves you! Have a blessed day!
A fantastic celebration of life in the face of a world that preaches doom and gloom. All glory and gratitude to the King of kings.
🖤
Pls don't mind me I'm just gonna put this lyrics here.
Flatline, a breath away
I was born with one foot in the grave
Been to hell and back
Dealt a real bad hand, but I live with that
I've learned to face my darkness
Now I embrace my doubt
Don't go and plan my funeral
Don't go and count me out
(Don't go and count me out)
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Wake up, another fight
Am I the victim or the homicide?
What's in my head left scars behind
Every step is an uphill climb
I've learned to live in shadows
Even without the light
I've learned to love the battles
Only the strong survive
(Only the strong survive)
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
So if you're black and blue
And feeling so abused
No, it don't make you damaged
It makes you living proof
That you are so much more
Than all this hell you've known
Remember this
What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Living on a razor's edge
Danced with demons, tasted death
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead
Won't be waiting on my hearse
Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse
My heart still beats, my blood's still red
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Hallelujah, I'm not dead
Thanks you for lyrics!

Found this song at 3 am and now I'm addicted. This somg is so relatable on so many levels! "Been through hell and back" ? Jeez, hitting me right in the feels. I swear, Citizen Soldier makes the most relatable songs known to mankind.
Hey citizen soldier, I truly appreciate the song. The line "Pain is the living proof that you are more than the hell you've known" hit me so hard. I over think everything and feel very bad about myself. All these intrusive thoughts completely beat me down everyday and hearing the line " I've lost wars in my mind" Made me realise im not the only one. Life is surely pain for me but some how listening to songs like this help me out a lot. I just hope you realise how much of a impact you make on people's lives. Again, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this song. Much love from 🇮India ❤
Tons of love to India my friend. I hope you have an incredible day. You’re not alone. Keep fighting cause you’re worth it 🖤
@@CitizenSoldier thank you so much ❤😊
I have those kinds of thoughts too so you’re definitely not alone
When my friend asked
"Hallelujah? Isn't that another religion? "
And I said
"Please you don't understand anything about this song, listen well and understand then talk after "
Thank for listening 💜;
what religion?

I am finally leaving going home to East Coast and conquer my addiction. When I was in Cali I overdosed 4 times and came back to life with color and light and love. I was tortured and killed and beaten and drug addicted and traumatized but only the strongest people survive. Love you citizen soldier you helped me get through homelessness and pain and get through life
The lines "No, it don't make you damaged
/ It makes you living proof / That you are so much more / Than all this hell you've known" hit so deep I almost cried. My trauma and cptsd affect my every day life even when I don't have to interact with my abuser, and the feelings I have of being damaged or broken are dang near Constant. To hear this affirmation took a weight off of me today. Thank y'all for your amazing music
Thanks 💜!
Makes me think of my sister in law. She only has a few month to live. Not sure if I should send this to her or not. She has spent almost a year in the hospital. Has died and been revived 6 times. Had been through hell and back, then back to hell a few times over. They don't even know what's wrong with her. Just that her body is shutting down. This started in april of last year with a stomach ache. And now she's going to die. What do we tell her 6 y/o daughter?
Thanks Samantha 🖤
In my opinion try to make her feel love in her last hours and show her this song to give her a bit of joy that she survived this long, but with her daughter i really dont know, thats a hard question, u could tell her a brief info on whats happening even tho shes really young and tell her to stay by her moms side till the end and give her time to say things to her mom, she will probably say "i love u and im gonna miss u" etc, after her mother passes away tell her to fight and overcome every obstacle(s) in her way show momma that shes just as strong as her, but if u dont tell her this, tell her at least something like this “Momma will always be with her strong little girl, momma is never to far away, she'll always be listening to her baby even tho shes fully grown" if its possible buy something for your sister in law to give to her daughter a bear, plushy etc so that her daughter can in a way hug her mother after she gone
Hopefully this never happens and ur sister in law gets better and recovers from this, good luck
@@kotrum6309 thank you. I just don't know if the song will make her feel better or not. The wee one knows most of what's going on. It's heart breaking that she is so used to her mom being in the hospital. Almost a year now. She was home a total for about 6 weeks on and off. The first time she was here for 3 weeks. Then a week. Then a couple days. Then this last time was about 36 hrs home then she had to go back to the hospital. I hope she gets better too but the doctors have given her only a few months. But shit man, she just keeps beating the odds. She is so strong lol. I'm bewildered by everything. I really am. She has quite a few things her mom has bought her to remember her by. It was so cute. My older niece from my brothers first wife, the wee one and her, V (my sister in law), she got the 3 of them a necklace set. It's a heart and on one side it say big sis, then mom in the middle then little sis on the other side and you put them together and they make a heart.
@@samanthastuessel7986 i dont know ur sister in law so i just thought since u were thinking about showing this to her it would give her a boost to her mentally or something but im glad to hear that the little one has multiple things so she can remember her mum, ur sister in law is strong if she has beaten the odds this far, who know she could prove the docs wrong and survive, and i know for sure the little one is going to cherish the necklace forever, wish u the best of luck to you, ur sister in law, the wee one and the rest of ur family
@@kotrum6309 thanks

"What doesnt kill you is what builds your throne" love that. If it doesnt kill you, then you were already strong to take it.
I added this to my playlist before it even ended. I think we have all lost wars in our heads at least once, but guess what guys... You're reading this... You're alive... Hallelujah to all of you strong people :)

This song SLAPS!
Not many songs are so good and catchy that I'm singing along halfway into my first listen and that's what I'm doing on my first listen.
I'm already singing it like I've heard it a million times already
This track is fire!!!
Most songs I need to listen to a few times to decide if I love it or like it.
But this song has me completely hooked on my first fucking listen.
I see this song being one of your biggest hits
Appreciate the support 💜;

These songs are so empowering. He has a way of speaking for those suffering from depression, anxiety, ptsd, and other similar disorders.
This is the music i needed, I've lost my dad, and my uncle was found dead on my birthday, i almost lost my mom, she's currently in hospital, and we live far from a hospital, and my mom needs to be near one, so i had to leave home, and stay with my sister in another city, my brother had to leave to California for school, and i can barely get a hold of my best friend. It's been so chaotic, i also have to leave the people i know, and get used to a completely different school, with completely different celebrations. And i won't get to continue learning my culture. (I'm Native American) And I'm not in a school, and i have to watch all tree of my nephews and my niece. I've lost so much recently and even my own free time, you guys make the best music i know. this helps more than you understand! Thank you!
So sorry for your loss 💜; Sending hugs your way
Sorry for your loss lad but we are in this together
"I've lost wars inside my head"
Such a powerful line cause it truly is a mental battle to continue on. There may be no physical scars for some, but there are always mental ones.
I find it kind of ironic that I started listening to this song a bit more not long befor I was employed after trying to find a job for who knows how long... It has been a full month and I am going strong at my job... I've kinda taken this song as my personal anthem sense cos Hallelujah am not dead. Befor the day I got this job I was... aimless, didnt know what to do with my self, wasnt as active as I should, my mental health was in the shitter, and physically I wasn't much better, but sense I started working again, I have a heading again, if not a destination, my mental health got notably better, my mood improved, am getting back in shape bit by bit, given that its a physically active job and I have always enjoyed working with my hands and I am finally starting to put things in to motion again, and I am hopping to god that ones I start moving in my chosen direction, I never stop again. So thank you citizen soldier, thank you for helping me again. Поѕдрав и све најбоље од слушаоца из Србије!
Citizen Soldier, thank you for saving my brother.
He has been fighting depression for years. There have been times I thought I would find him dead in his room, but he discovered your song and this one is his new favorite! He's getting better and I've actually seen him smile more!
He has a ways to go, but you have helped him in such a huge way! I cannot thank you enough for letting my baby brother know he's not alone!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :')

I know this isn't a "Christian" song...But, This world wants to take us out, but we were created to live! Life isn't easy but its worth it. Don't give up!!!
Another amazing song from an amazing band as always. Your messages from these songs has amazing meanings.
Thanks Katsu 🖤
I don't know if anyone will read this but I just wanna share it and continue listening to this amazing song. I was always bullied by people around me. For some reason, no one tried to be friends with me, or talk to me like I'm a normal person. I was always lonely and developed anxiety and depression throughout my life, feeling useless, worthless, nothing but someone who doesn't deserve to live and feeling like I'm disappointing even the people that doesn't know me. I don't know what Am I living for, why do I continue and why was I born in the first place? I feel like my place isn't here, that I'm not worth to even breath but when I think of dying, leaving everything behind, I'm scared. I'm scared of making my family suffer when it's all my fault I feel like this. Truth is, no one wants to die for real, we just want to feel happy, just a little time when we don't have to worry about every little thing, when we don't have to cry and feel guilty, when we would smile and be happy. We just want everything to be over, either the loss of someone or the feeling of being wortless because the people around you don't care at all, we all have scars we just can't forget. I always thought I'm alone, but I see so many people sharing stories and realize I'm not the only one and maybe I'm not someone who can say this but just... don't give up. Even if you feel like there is no tomorrow, like your world is crashing down and you have no place to hide, there are always better times and a good future that is waiting for you, you just have to be strong and face the world, cry if you want, do things that at least used to give you happiness and find someone to listen to you. It's always gonna be something for you, so... Believe in yourself, in the person you are and try to love yourself! ❤ I may not know you, but I love you, I know you're a strong person, a kind and amazing person and can do everything you dream for!
Personally you sound like someone I'd be friends with tho I'm very introverted irl so I'm not one to actually go up and talk to random people irl. I was one where I had to be introduced into a friend group. I will admit that if I saw you wearing let's say a star wars shirt I'd try to imitate the convo first as if I see we have a common interest I'd be more embolden(I don't know if that's the right word to use but it feels like it) to actually talk to someone
"There is only two ways to lose in this life. One is when you stop drawing breath. The other is when you give up."
Here's to all of us around to listen to this.
Jesus be like: Hmm. These humans are really working hard making new types of prayers....
Ha! 💜;
Yeah I like this one it's how I feel and we'll Jesus does save the sick so
Right😂😂
Amen
Yea, way better than they used to be hmm?
"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" that's a hard thing to realize but once you do it's a freeing thing.

Citizen Soldier has done it again!!!! Another amazing song. In today's world its amazing to find a band who constantly finds a way to reach its fans with masterful lyrics and they do it every single time!!! Much love guys
Appreciate this words Wayne 💜;
It’s been months, actually, no, it’s soon going to be nearly a year since I recovered from unwanted suicidal thoughts. During that time, I felt so low, and even came close to thinking of trying to harm myself several times. But now, I’m MUCH better. Though I’m not supposed to see it like this, it certainly felt like I went to living hell and back.
To those who are still struggling with their mental health, don’t give up. You can get out of that dark place. It’s not going to happen instantly, but it *will* happen. And don’t try to do it alone. Be brave, and get help from others. If they’re not willing, find others who are.
To those who have gotten past major hurdles involving their mental health, congrats! I’m glad that you did whatever it was that you did to get out of that low place you were in. The scars, whether emotional, mental, or physical still remain, but... you should think of them as proof that you survived whatever happened to you now. And of course, this may not be the end of your struggles, but whatever comes next, stand strong in the face of it.
Much love to you friend. Thanks for this 🖤
Hey man, this helps thank you. I hope you're having a great day ROCK ON!!
Hallelujah how have I managed to live this long
"This what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne" one of the most inspirational things I've vere heard. Thank you citizen soldier
I've dealt with depression for around 14 years now. Every song of yours that I've listened to speaks to me with different things. Thank you so so much with what you do for people like me. You're truly a blessing.
What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne.....
This line is the single biggest most badass fuck you got mine line ever! I love it
Hallelujah! I'm not dead! Thank you, CItizen Soldier, for releasing these bangers during these dark times. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this music helps me keep persevering. Blessings to you all!
Of course Nightwave 🖤 have an incredible day
Listened to this at work, and have to say, my manager recognized you guys! Your music hits hard enough to have people of all ages listening to you, and enjoying it.
Your music is wonderful, and means so much!
Happy to hear that 💜; Thanks for your support
I've had 2 suicide attempts in my life and I'm only 15. But I have a reason to live, my girlfriend and my best friend. I'm living for them.

A banger that speaks, just what I expect from Citizen Soldier~
So happy you felt it. Much love to you 🖤💪🏻
In a few hours, it will be two years since you gave us this song.
I have a story that isn't really mine to tell. You see, the day this song came out, I listened to it quite a few times, then a messaged my friend, and asked her if it was OK if she heard your song, then pass it onto her son.
He was 18, and was born with practically half a heart, and his life was in most ways like the words in your song.
Until recently I never really comprehended what your song was for her son, he quoted it, he listened to it, sung to it, and used it as one of his songs as his casket left his memorial, just over a month later.
I still have this song in my play list, but I do not attribute this song for any negative, but as the greatest positive for one person in their final days.
Thank you very much for this song.
I wanna say thank you for making this song. Recently I moved out from my family’s house - it was a situation that I didn’t even know how bad it was or how bad it kept getting until I had the space and genuinely good people around me to finally feel like I could breathe again. Every day I learn more about how messed up my whole life’s been, but now I have a good job and rent a good house all far younger than I ever imagined I’d be. I never thought I’d make it past 16 - I didn’t think I could bear to live that long - but it’s been more than a few years since then and I’m still alive. In fact I love my life; something I never really thought was possible before, and it’s songs like these that helped me get through it when I was too scared and needed the support I couldn’t get from anyone else. Don’t ever forget you’ve changed lives

Me: *sees a new Citizen Soldier song out. CLICKS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!*
Less than five seconds in and I was HOOKED! OMG this was TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!
Haha appreciate that Astrid 🖤
I discovered this amazing song when my best friend showed me the ringtone he had for whenever I called. When I listened to the whole song, I noticed how much I could really relate to the lyrics. Almost 9 years ago, on December 26th, I attempted to OD on a muscle relaxer. I ended up unconscious, unresponsive, and unable to breathe on my own. I was rushed to a hospital and had to be on a ventilator for a week. Every time they tried to take me off or decrease the amount of breaths it was giving me, I stopped breathing completely. If I hadn't told my mom that I even took the pills, I would not be here. Your songs are amazing and I can relate to a lot of them. You are the first band to ever accomplish that for me. I'm so thankful that I found your music, especially when I needed it the most. Please don't ever stop writing your songs and blessing us with your amazing talents ❤️
I use your guys music when ever I'm having a bad day and also for mma
Glad to hear that 🖤
This song reminds me of my mother who is suffering by lung cancer since 5 years. They told her she has 1 year left to live and she’s still fighting ❤️
Never before have i had a song resonate so deeply with me, thank you, citizen soldier!
I always get goosebumps. I can't even start with how incredible Citizen Soldier's song are.
Thanks friend. That means a lot 🖤🤘🏻
My best friend Foster showed this to me and told me to read the description. I could not be more grateful for this. What happened to me didn't kill me, it just made me stronger and this song gives that message. Most teens my age don't really appreciate music like this. Mostly, they like rap and music like that. And each to their own but this, music like this keeps me going.
Appreciate that 💜;
I'm a Security Officer at a Hospital, I work the graveyard shift and have to deal with some unsavory people, especially during the pandemic. There are days where it feels like too much but we push on and this song speaks the truth, we may get beaten down by emotions and literal junkies but we remain standing to protect the hospital staff and patients during these uncertain times.
Citizen soldier always motivated us.
When I'm depressed I listen their Let It Burn song and feelings relax.
Thank you so much Citizen Soldier ❤️

I'm not dead. I am alive. I am strong enough.
Thank you guys again! 🖤🖤🖤

This song touched my soul! Dealing with depression is the hardest challenge for me. Suicidal thoughts and thoughts of people being happier without me have crossed my mind almost on the daily, yet I still fight to survive. I’m so glad I found this song! Rock on 🤟
I was told i wasn't supposed to be born. My brother died stillborn before me. I wished I could switch places many of times. I struggle with depression and its only gotten worse the past 20 years. I have tried to end my life a few times. I even wrote my will out and how i would want to be buried. However I have come to be blessed with friends who have been supportive of my illness and because of that I am not dead
"Pains a gift, not a curse" it means you aren't dead yet, means you still got things you can do, people to meet, and places to see. So don't make people wait on your hearse, lead your journey, tell your own story, have an adventure. You aren't dead yet, have some fun.
Thanks for sharing that 💜;
@@CitizenSoldier It's what I do
Those wars inside my head get me nearly every time. I've slowly gotten better. Thank you for bringing these issues to the forefront. It's not just a private battle, we have to work together to beat this if we want to be here to help our kids.
Very well said Kat. Appreciate you 🖤
I'm Lohan, from Brazil and I hope you grow up soon, because you deserve so much! They only make a work of art, you rock too much!

Damn it, this song can't be described with words.
You guys are amazing!
That means so much Jona. Thank you. I appreciate you 🖤🤘🏻
love the song, the text is just to true and relatable, people dont like to see it but these problems exist and its soo good to see someone not shying away from the topics but embracing it
Appreciate that 🖤
I think that's what's going to make them popular and it's certainly why they're one of my two favorite bands along side disturbed
@@missqueenbee98 yeah their good and dont shy away from these things, their music also helped me get thru some dark times
"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" is the lyric that sticks out the most to me because I believe it's the pain I've lived through that's made me who I am today.
Thanks for your support Kyle 💜;

Living on a Razor edge
Dancing with demons tasted dead
I've lost wars inside my head
But hallelujah, I'm not dead!
That's basically my part I've been cutting for a long time...
