As a preteen when this album first came out, this was the song I used to validate my angry feelings towards my parents never being there for me. Now, as a parent myself, I use this song to remind myself to make time and talk/listen to my kids. Finally the album name "Break the Cycle" makes absolutely perfect sense. I hope Aaron knows the impact he's made with the messages in his songs.
I don't really have parents that were like that but I am sorry you went threw that you now that you have kids you are right never lose sight of who you really are to them if you ever need someone to talk to never hesitate to talk to someone buddy
U cant blame ur parents , u seem to have grown up fine. I would u think u would understand being a parent now and how much an effort they made for you to make it to 18
@@loveNsupport my parents made like zero effort. I basically raised myself. I guess learning to cook and shit is good for an 8 year old, but it didn't feel that way back then and still doesn't.
I can somewhat relate, I never really had much of a father figure growing up as a kid, and because of that, I want to make it a point, when I have children, to talk/listen to my kids as much as possible
I was 24 when my wife got pregnant by another man...this album came out at the same time...suffice to say I found my place and this album helped save my life
I feel your pain dude. When life hands you lemons, grab some vodka and make a mixer. My daughter isn't biologically mine. But she calls me daddy, so I'm ok with it. And I wouldn't trade her for the world. Her mother on the other hand.....
I try to breathe Memories overtaking me I try to face them but The thought is too Much to conceive I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness That my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just too busy with yourself You were never there for me to Express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made So where were you When all this I was going through You never took the time to ask me Just what you could do
I do blame my father. Looking out the window for him to pick me up. This MF’ER stands me up time and time again and thinks he gets a pass. I’m 42 now. I have 2 children of my own. I can only thank my father for showing me how to NOT to be a father. I have great, well behaved kids.
Yep, the thing is, my father would listen to staind cause he too never had a father and mental illnesses. I think his father or my real grandpa did try to reach out a few years back but my grandma refused. My father was like a 8 years old trapped in a adult like my father never grew past middleschool. He did try but he expected everything to fall in place for him and he was mentally abusive towards my mom. He would later die from an altercation. All he left for me was boxes and boxes of pills. Now here I am, listening to staind. I'm scared. Not everybody is so lucky like the singer to live on and find a happy life and become a better person.
Staind was/is a band that actually transcends the music industry, and Aaron Lewis is a songwriter who has written some timeless classics like this. I was listening to pure gold as a young man and never really appreciated the genius behind it.
2 years sober and here I am listening to Staind to keep it going. Living sober is such a great life to live. Thank you to everyone who prays for those who struggle. I am a product of those prayers. Blessed by a God who redeems.
I agree 100. He’s not appreciated until he’s seen live what others sound like shit and he still is clear and completely locked down pitch and time wise also!! Eddie vedder, Cornell, Staley, Shaun Morgan from seether and Aaron Lewis are tops!! But Shannon hoone is right there where I’m unsure but is top three
Aaron lewis is a legend and has changed many peoples lives with his music, and lyrics. Not to many artist can do that. Thanks for everything Aaron lewis!
Yep. They even started out as a band covering KoRn and RATM songs because they didn't have enough original material at the time for a full set. I saw them open for KoRn in 2021 it was great!
+William Graham Couldn't agree more man however it brings back memories of my relationship with my mother and kind of makes me feel bad in a way but nonetheless amazing tune!!
Agree. I bury a lot of shit. Can't even force myself to cry at a funeral anymore. It takes something like this just to make me choke up much less actually cry. This song gets through even my brick wall, but mainly because it dredges up all that buried crap.
Aarons music is so amazing because hes felt that true, seemingly unending, unfading pain. Because thats the only way you could have so much passion behind the meaning in his words. And hes a brave man, because he has taken that pain and put it out there for everyone to see. And i know I appreciate it, just having his songs to relate to helped me through one of the worst times of my life. Thank you Aaron, and all of stained, you guys are heros.
He's a very brave man. That has become fully apparent 10/21, as he spoke against an increasingly tyrannical and diabolical, powerful group. God Bless him.
been through so much trama at a young age that led to addiction and broke the cycle myself aaron is very brave for bring that pain to light for everyone else to see helped me get through alot of crap been 1.1 years clean and wont ever go back proud to call myself an ex addict it made me who i am today
I think Staind and Linkin Park were both popular back in "my day" but they were so young to be writing about so much pain. Yet I am in my 40's now and I find their lyrics relevant in different ways as my life has evolved. That's why they both remain relevant and you can see a very obvious transition in Aaron's music over the years.
You are better off without them. They were not your real friends anyhow. As the song says, about being older. Once I accepted reality moving on was so easy.
I was one when my mom left my addict father. I was 3 when the man who raised me gave me his last name and adopted my sister and I and raised us as blood which I'm so thankful for. That's my dad. But this song reminds me of my father. I wish I could send it to him.
Listening to this song as an adult with children of my own the lyrics "I only know that I can change" now make me smile, because my kids have never had to feel this pain like I did. I've made sure to keep them from any "family" that might make them feel the way I did when this song came out. They are loved. They are wanted and I did it. I broke the cycle and kept them safe 🖤
Song made me cry when I was 16 still makes me cry when I'm 32. Beautiful song, along with Tool no band has ever influenced my life so much thank you Staind. The benefit is that I have my own kids now and I do my best to make sure that they don't experience the same thing.

I remember when Break The Cycle was released in 2001, I bought the CD and must have played 10,000 times. I've seen Staind live more than a dozen times and Aaron Lewis solo a handful of times. Their music never gets old. I just bought tickets to see them live this coming May in Reading PA.
I used to harm myself as a child, terrible father figures. But this album came out around the same time….. “I’m older now and I feel like I can let some of this anger fade” 25 years later, what a different perspective.
I remember back in the day when music was about talent and honesty. I still love this band so much...just genuine and beautiful with no apologies.......
As a soon-to-be 26 year old man... This song still hits hard honestly, mainly cause... My childhood had a lot of issues, whether it was over being exposed to porn in the 1st grade, or the bullying issues I felt, let alone... Specifically... What I cry over... Is seeing that kid wanting to go over to his mom and dad, probably scared about nightmares... All to see them yelling and fighting at each other... Honestly, it'll never not be heartbreaking how much my mom and dad fought growing up... 💔 I'm just lucky I was able to stop all my anger and frustration from growing up with all these issues, even though I hate how screwed up our world is... Thank God for Jesus Christ saving me from my anger and heartache, because I needed it badly 😭
I remember this video would air fairly frequently in Fall 2001 on MTV2. Back when they had music videos 24/7… something that had happened 20 years prior to that on OG MTV.
Joshua sartain at least you know how to fix it now. And i give your dad props for being honest, its not easy to tell your own kid that even if they deserve it
Cache Phish my Dad hated me his whole life and abused me emotionally and physically his final asshole move was dying on my birthday from suicide. It’s been 7 yrs and I’m not okay yet
Nate Dogg he's asking for attention, don't let him touch your emotions. It comes back to him and pisses him off. Just smile and say you wish peace upon him.
Pain doesn't see color, fear does. I was listening to staind as a teen and here I am 35 yrs old, having a beer and still listening to staind because I'm still caused pain at the hands of others. I wish you peace in your life.
True. I was just randomly watching MTV that morning, and this was the last video to play before it switched over to the CBS News coverage of the 9/11 attacks. That was a really screwed up morning.
Seems this band is going to be the majority of the divorce soundtrack. After 20 years I was blindsided and am trying to hang on to sanity. I discovered this band by accident and so far most of their work speaks to me directly
Sometimes i wish i didnt hear the truth in melody and lyrical form. Shit hurts more. Shout out to my mom dad and sis. Where you at brother?.. Anyway they all loved.....
This song reminds me of my first love , first serious relationship...we were at a party listening Staind together . We were such a kids at that time but the feeling were so strong and so real .
years after the fact..... thanks aaron n the guys from staind. hits home. was thinkin about my 5 yo kiddo...... brought a tear to my eyes no lie. not in a self indulgent way..... just made me sort of peruse the baggage, if you will. helped me refocus on my daughter and stay the course. truly. thx
There was a moment in my life I decided to stop listening to Staind because it would make me feel overwhelmed by emotions. That was many many years ago. This was just recommended and I gave it a shot, once again. Just turned 41 and this music and lyrics still lingers inside me after so long. Truly transcendental music. Ineffable in a way.
I think everyone has a band or artist that speaks to them like the lyrics were written for them. Staind is mine. They have been there for me through everything life has thrown at me. 30 years old and still the lyrics speak to me.
Fuck these lyrics still hit harder than my parents. I could never imagine treating my son the way I was treated. Angst turned into radical gentleness towards my baby, but believe me, my anger could still raze countries to dust.
Songs like these aren't written anymore. Gone are the days of heavy alternative metal. Now everything is just so cheap and flashy, Nineties rock is indomitable. Immortal.
So much pain with years of healing. Sometimes I think that I’ve only scratched the surface! I broke down and cried this morning after listening to “ who ‘d you be today by Kenny Chesney. 15 years old my babies died and it still hurts. So I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster all day. Brought me back to this song.
My parents got this for me on my 11th birthday and I remember my dad saying the hooks and harmonies on this bad boy were insane. 2019 and the hook in this chorus is STILL absolutely unreal.
This album seemed like...over the top in its sadness when it was played the heck out on the radio back when I was in middle school. Coming back to it as an adult after having lived a bit? Okay, I get why so many people dug some Staind. Great chorus and songwriting.
After 20 years I've realized that the lyrics to this song are really well written. Loved this song as a teenager and still do.
I know right
I was ten when this song came out and lyrics hit me hard even even at that age

Right
He's so underrated it's criminal his voice is so smooth and his lyrics are just heartbreaking
Being 14 in 99 2000 definitely helps
Same here 39. One of the major influences on my music career
I saw them live open for KoRn in 2021, great show! Mushok is a killer live guitarist.

Well done Brother! I just hit my 5 years sober! Now at 39 years old I live vicariously through this music that I used to rock to in the late 90’s!
Keep it up brother. Hope you are still doing well.

Keep fighting the good fight brother!
I'm struggling but admire you all who made it .
One of the best vocalists of all time in my opinion. Aaron Lewis is so underrated. So much emotion and tones in his voice 👌🏼
Agree completely.
You trying to talk junk cause he went country homey
He deserves kisses from all fans in my opinion

Nothing worse than loving someone so much it pushes them away.
too much love never pushes anyone away!
using others to heal our pain and to feel better in our skin pushes ppl away.

This!! 100%
Staind was a major part of the nu-metal scene and this Break the cycle album went massive back in 2001 and rightfully so. Excellent album.
Yep. They even started out as a band covering KoRn and RATM songs because they didn't have enough original material at the time for a full set. I saw them open for KoRn in 2021 it was great!

Hay you are very right this is a kick ass band. how old are you?
Father fun I won't be with you on your death bed because your addiction. You chose drugs over me a long time ago
Get out there and live. Don't wait around for people who don't care, to come along and show you the way. Chances are they'll only lead you astray.
You are better off without them. They were not your real friends anyhow. As the song says, about being older. Once I accepted reality moving on was so easy.

I remember this video would air fairly frequently in Fall 2001 on MTV2. Back when they had music videos 24/7… something that had happened 20 years prior to that on OG MTV.
Love this Mike Mushok drops.
in concert Mike Mushok always stole the show love watching him jam
This song never gets old. The emotion in this song speaks to my soul.
I know this band has been around forever now.....but he has one of the most amazing voices of all time. Thank you Staind
My relationship with my dad. I was a bastard for so long. Hits me in the feels.
Cache Phish same man , was alone with .ibe for the first time in a while and he just said why do you think I avoid you
Cache Phish d
Joshua sartain at least you know how to fix it now. And i give your dad props for being honest, its not easy to tell your own kid that even if they deserve it
Cache Phish my Dad hated me his whole life and abused me emotionally and physically his final asshole move was dying on my birthday from suicide. It’s been 7 yrs and I’m not okay yet
Had the pleasure of meeting Aaron in Enfield. He was cool and talked with me for 5 minutes. Stained fan from the rip. Great new England band
RIP Jon. One of my favorite drummers.
I'm a forever fan of this band. Deep and heartfelt lyrics. THAT BASS LINE ON THIS TRACK!!!
This is a great band. It's well worth your time to listen.
Exactly. I have probably spent an entire month of my life just listening to Staind. I love them so much....
Top 10 songs I can relate too
This album helped me out of a dark heroin addiction. Amazing how music affects us. Bless u all. Thx staind
Wysoki is the true definition of a great melodic yet heavy drummer
Yep a black man that love R&R.
I feel this shit Yo'
Patrick McReary Hide.
Nate Dogg he's asking for attention, don't let him touch your emotions. It comes back to him and pisses him off. Just smile and say you wish peace upon him.

Pain doesn't see color, fear does. I was listening to staind as a teen and here I am 35 yrs old, having a beer and still listening to staind because I'm still caused pain at the hands of others. I wish you peace in your life.
Congratulations?
Fun Fact: This was the last song played on MTV before it switched over to CBS' news broadcast about 9/11.
lol
it's almost symbolic. it's like saying shut up whiny boy... there are bigger problems than your childhood disappointments.
Wikipedia lol
True. I was just randomly watching MTV that morning, and this was the last video to play before it switched over to the CBS News coverage of the 9/11 attacks. That was a really screwed up morning.
Never meant to fade away
Aaron Lewis your music is so inspiring, you've got me through a lot of hard times..
lit rat country boy makes me feel what America is about he’s a real American patriot
got back my friend 👋
Seems this band is going to be the majority of the divorce soundtrack. After 20 years I was blindsided and am trying to hang on to sanity. I discovered this band by accident and so far most of their work speaks to me directly
Sometimes i wish i didnt hear the truth in melody and lyrical form. Shit hurts more. Shout out to my mom dad and sis. Where you at brother?.. Anyway they all loved.....
This album was probably there best
Thanks Aaron and the rest of the band ❤
This song reminds me of my first love , first serious relationship...we were at a party listening Staind together . We were such a kids at that time but the feeling were so strong and so real .
years after the fact..... thanks aaron n the guys from staind. hits home. was thinkin about my 5 yo kiddo...... brought a tear to my eyes no lie. not in a self indulgent way..... just made me sort of peruse the baggage, if you will. helped me refocus on my daughter and stay the course. truly. thx
There was a moment in my life I decided to stop listening to Staind because it would make me feel overwhelmed by emotions.
That was many many years ago.
This was just recommended and I gave it a shot, once again.
Just turned 41 and this music and lyrics still lingers inside me after so long.
Truly transcendental music. Ineffable in a way.
I think everyone has a band or artist that speaks to them like the lyrics were written for them. Staind is mine. They have been there for me through everything life has thrown at me. 30 years old and still the lyrics speak to me.
Amen to that. Every song I can relate to or think of a time I felt a certain way. They have gotten me though some bad times.
Anyone 2025..??❤❤
This CD helped me to stay afloat while I was drowning in darkness...., thanks Staind 💖💕💖💕💖💕💖💕💖
yeah and hes changed and helped us and himself along weve all improved
@@traviswelch3636 hello I would love to help you out
Same. This CD helped me through a dark time until I could get my own place.
As a caterpillar to be born again like a butterfly and fly away
Yummy
About to see them live Sunday at Virgin in Vegas! Can not wait!!!
This album and final fantasy 9 is one of my favorite memories in life😎
Very close second tonPearl Jam for my all time fave band.😊
My favorite Staind tune. Fits my life perfect, not just with women, but everyone. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to.
Fuck these lyrics still hit harder than my parents. I could never imagine treating my son the way I was treated. Angst turned into radical gentleness towards my baby, but believe me, my anger could still raze countries to dust.
This album saved my life in 01
RIP Jon. Thanks for the awesome drumming you left us with on all these records.
Songs like these aren't written anymore. Gone are the days of heavy alternative metal. Now everything is just so cheap and flashy, Nineties rock is indomitable. Immortal.
For real!!!
So much pain with years of healing. Sometimes I think that I’ve only scratched the surface! I broke down and cried this morning after listening to “ who ‘d you be today by Kenny Chesney. 15 years old my babies died and it still hurts. So I’ve been on an emotional roller coaster all day. Brought me back to this song.
My parents got this for me on my 11th birthday and I remember my dad saying the hooks and harmonies on this bad boy were insane.
2019 and the hook in this chorus is STILL absolutely unreal.
Almost Crying.. So emotional that i thought he knows what I'm feeling
I love you Alex. I never ment to fade away...
Beautiful song: Smallville.😇😇😇
When I heard the song on there I was like omg yes! And seeing Clark grab the guy as the lightening strikes them it was a good scene.
😭😊🙂😆🤮😀😀🙃🛖👤👤@@jessicacaleno1998
This music gets me through my darkest moments.....and I am forever grateful and forever listening to there music.
Jon Wysocki RIP 😢 you made part of our lives
This Band has Come a Long Way❤❤❤❤❤❤This
This album seemed like...over the top in its sadness when it was played the heck out on the radio back when I was in middle school. Coming back to it as an adult after having lived a bit? Okay, I get why so many people dug some Staind. Great chorus and songwriting.
