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.
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
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
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.

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!
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!
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
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.
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 🖤
+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.
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.......
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.....
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.
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 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.
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 .
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.
Live your life loud and love yourself because YOU are the one who got you through each day. I know it was lonely and so many things you had to figure out alone. But you did it and no one can take that away from you. I'm not Muslim. By all accounts from society you would think I had the sweet life... Couldn't be farther from the truth. I made my way from 15 yrs old. With a baby. By myself. And still doing it alone. But with my head held high. I've earned that. You have too.❤

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.
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
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.
It's been ages since this masterpiece came out, i was a teenager then now im 37 , still gives me goosebumps, can't get enough of it, now that I'm older i can see that it's like this song was written for me ❤
holy shit this is my life right now, its nice to know I'm not the only one to feel this way, grief and loss and also lack of closure are really hard to deal with like I don't understand how I'm still here physically/mentally.
Aaron Lewis, the music you so beautifully created has made me cry more often than not. Its as if they materialize inside my chest and tug at my heart strings. And i am and will forever be grateful for your many masterpieces. It has dragged me out of some difficult situations. Thank you, again.
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 😭
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This song, this video especially, reminds me how unfortunate it is that so many kids have babies before they have stability and security in their relationships and finances, and aren't aware how fast they get under water when their marriage fails and makes them a single working parent who has no time for themselves or anyone else, working and running kids here and there and how much we wish we had more time in the day, and how helpless we are as our children are influenced by everything other than us, and how fast the time goes that we can never get back, and how our kids grow up not even knowing or caring how much we love them because we had to fight to keep a roof over their heads, and as much as it may have not mattered, it would have mattered if it wasn't there. Alot of kids project some kind of premeditated neglect onto their parents who are doing the best they can with what they were dealt. Now I think people should have kids only after 10 years of being in a relationship, and achieving a financial stability that allows them the time kids need dedicated to them. And maybe 2 kids is good. It is so hard. Both sides can be scarred for life. Kids are learning how to live while parents are just as new ro being parents, and learning without proper guidance or havijg a good example from t their childhood alot of the time. Everyone really can tell the difference between a parent who is trying and one who isn't though, so don't be so hard on the ones who try, even if they aren't exactly perfect or everything you dreamed of. Love is valuable, and unconditional love is priceless, and likely only will come from your mama in your life.
Real sh!t.. I love Staind. I have to admit it's very hard for me to listen to them though. Because their song's cut so deep into my feelings.. One's I try to numb myself to..
I've loved Staind since I first heard It's Been Awhile and had his music burned on a CD when I was 10 years old (27 now). I can relate heavily to his lyrics and the raw, unbridled emotions he boldy expresses through his music as he takes you through the journey of pain, anger, self-acceptance, forgiveness and moving on. As a Highly Sensitive Being myself, and having had emotionally neglectful parents and being bullied as well (Just as he had), his music touches the very core of my being and has kept me thriving throughout my lifetime battle with anxiety, depression and traumatizing experinces. I love you deeply, Aaron Lewis. Thank you for everything you have taught me.
My dad passed away when I was barely a year old. It seems I grew up my whole life without knowing what it was like to have a father. I would always see kids at school with their dads, and it would make me feel jealous, even hurt. I began to hate my dad for dying. I remember screaming at his grave so loud, "Why did you fucking leave me?!" But the truth is, it wasn't his choice. Eventually I learned to let go of my hate towards him, but it still hurts knowing he's gone.
The one album I listened to over and over as a teen. Later I listened to this song as a freshman in college. I’m 36 years old and still love this song.
When I first got clean I use to listen to this song alot. The line "I only know I can change, everything else stays the same, so now i step out of the darkness my life became" it still brings a tear to my eye remembering how hard it was. Addiction is no joke
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 Staind there music got me through so many tough times in life and like others have said still does grew up with them,L,P and Korn deffs wanna see them again before they stop touring
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.
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
Faaaaacccttts 🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
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 grew up with Staind and as a 40 year old adult...Aaron's lyrics still ring true today
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 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.
@@cardflopper3307 I see what you did there.
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.
My father is a fucking piece of shit lives in the same town and doesnt see me ever
THE HOOK TO THIS SONG JUST EXOLDES!!!!!!!!!! #AWESOME IS A UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!!!! DO YOU HEAR AND FEEL ME??????????
Man Staind was the shit
Is*
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 .
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
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.
@@JD2010whisperer this is similar to me and cause I'm still stuck in the decision i need to make and accept
wish it were so easy

Bless you for this uplifting comment that made my day better ❤️
Im 36 old muslim woman and when i was 13 this album was my everything!!!!!! I had literally no one and the phrase break the cycle is my life mantra.
Live your life loud and love yourself because YOU are the one who got you through each day. I know it was lonely and so many things you had to figure out alone. But you did it and no one can take that away from you. I'm not Muslim. By all accounts from society you would think I had the sweet life... Couldn't be farther from the truth. I made my way from 15 yrs old. With a baby. By myself. And still doing it alone. But with my head held high. I've earned that. You have too.❤
Yes!!
RIP Jon. Thanks for the awesome drumming you left us with on all these records.
This Band has Come a Long Way❤❤❤❤❤❤This
Staind best band ever....still listening....now and forever....
I wish u the best brother staind 4 life...
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....
#Staind #Fade
#BreaktheCycle 2001
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 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
I never meant to fade...
Away
I NEVER MEANT TO FADE
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
I try to breathe...
This is better than the other "lyrics" post, thanks
Literally my life right now..😞😞 How I feel about my older sister..
I miss this and them
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 👋
Thanks Aaron and the rest of the band ❤
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.
RIP Jon Wysocki (January 17, 1971 - May 18, 2024), aged 53
You will be remembered as a legend

i was shocked that he died
This album helped me out of a dark heroin addiction. Amazing how music affects us. Bless u all. Thx 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
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.
This music gets me through my darkest moments.....and I am forever grateful and forever listening to there music.
Rock music makes the world around me fade away
It's been ages since this masterpiece came out, i was a teenager then now im 37 , still gives me goosebumps, can't get enough of it, now that I'm older i can see that it's like this song was written for me ❤
Same age. Same opinion.
1986 here also and yes, the very Same . 911 WTC year vibes . This album was on top.
holy shit this is my life right now, its nice to know I'm not the only one to feel this way, grief and loss and also lack of closure are really hard to deal with like I don't understand how I'm still here physically/mentally.
Taylor Tucker Your strong if your still here. Hang on buddy....
Im with you , Man
Now I am older, I can let some of this anger fade.
Imma say it break the cycle is a god tier album
My favorite Staind tune. Fits my life perfect, not just with women, but everyone. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to.
Jon Wysocki RIP 😢 you made part of our lives
I hope y'all play this in Orange beach on the 14th. Can't wait 2 see you guys! 🤘
Update: they played it!!! 🤘
This song and album are almost 25 years old yet both are just as relevant now as they were on the day they dropped.
R.I.P. JON WYSOCKI 🥁
25 years ago my cousin Joilene was born and sadly she passed away in April. 💔Life is cruel and it's very short.
Aaron Lewis, the music you so beautifully created has made me cry more often than not. Its as if they materialize inside my chest and tug at my heart strings. And i am and will forever be grateful for your many masterpieces. It has dragged me out of some difficult situations. Thank you, again.
RIP Jon. One of my favorite drummers.
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 😭
Love his old stuff more now that he's gone country. Hate me if you will but this guy is awesome!
Yeah Aaron Lewis is the man! I wish Staind would of stayed together though.. loved them
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.
I love the words, the musical arrangement, and this would have to be one of my favorite Staind songs. Its unique sound has always stood out
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.
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.
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?
Wow this song still makes me cry 😢
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!!!
This song, this video especially, reminds me how unfortunate it is that so many kids have babies before they have stability and security in their relationships and finances, and aren't aware how fast they get under water when their marriage fails and makes them a single working parent who has no time for themselves or anyone else, working and running kids here and there and how much we wish we had more time in the day, and how helpless we are as our children are influenced by everything other than us, and how fast the time goes that we can never get back, and how our kids grow up not even knowing or caring how much we love them because we had to fight to keep a roof over their heads, and as much as it may have not mattered, it would have mattered if it wasn't there. Alot of kids project some kind of premeditated neglect onto their parents who are doing the best they can with what they were dealt. Now I think people should have kids only after 10 years of being in a relationship, and achieving a financial stability that allows them the time kids need dedicated to them. And maybe 2 kids is good. It is so hard. Both sides can be scarred for life. Kids are learning how to live while parents are just as new ro being parents, and learning without proper guidance or havijg a good example from t their childhood alot of the time. Everyone really can tell the difference between a parent who is trying and one who isn't though, so don't be so hard on the ones who try, even if they aren't exactly perfect or everything you dreamed of. Love is valuable, and unconditional love is priceless, and likely only will come from your mama in your life.
Real sh!t.. I love Staind. I have to admit it's very hard for me to listen to them though. Because their song's cut so deep into my feelings.. One's I try to numb myself to..
I've loved Staind since I first heard It's Been Awhile and had his music burned on a CD when I was 10 years old (27 now). I can relate heavily to his lyrics and the raw, unbridled emotions he boldy expresses through his music as he takes you through the journey of pain, anger, self-acceptance, forgiveness and moving on.
As a Highly Sensitive Being myself, and having had emotionally neglectful parents and being bullied as well (Just as he had), his music touches the very core of my being and has kept me thriving throughout my lifetime battle with anxiety, depression and traumatizing experinces.
I love you deeply, Aaron Lewis. Thank you for everything you have taught me.
O my LORD... THIS IS BEST of the BEST... EVER!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌👊👊👊👊👊💰💰💰
My dad passed away when I was barely a year old. It seems I grew up my whole life without knowing what it was like to have a father. I would always see kids at school with their dads, and it would make me feel jealous, even hurt. I began to hate my dad for dying. I remember screaming at his grave so loud, "Why did you fucking leave me?!" But the truth is, it wasn't his choice. Eventually I learned to let go of my hate towards him, but it still hurts knowing he's gone.
My dad got killed when I was 2 years old. I can totally relate
Praying for you friend
I give you my prayers.
Love this Mike Mushok drops.
The one album I listened to over and over as a teen. Later I listened to this song as a freshman in college. I’m 36 years old and still love this song.
Now I'm older and I have yet to let any of that anger fade.
When I first got clean I use to listen to this song alot. The line "I only know I can change, everything else stays the same, so now i step out of the darkness my life became" it still brings a tear to my eye remembering how hard it was. Addiction is no joke
I was totally spun when this came out, I can totally relate.
All these yrs later this still resonates 😢 #WhereWereU!?!?
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
Now this is music
pov: its 2001 and you're listening to the greatest song to ever hit your fucking ears
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.
Definitely this song is for my father!! You guys still rock. Thank you!
Love Staind there music got me through so many tough times in life and like others have said still does grew up with them,L,P and Korn deffs wanna see them again before they stop touring
Wysoki is the true definition of a great melodic yet heavy drummer
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.
