This dude had one reason to be behind a microphone and that was to yell at it like it was his red headed step child Those who get it understand, those who cannot get it I cannot understand
This is probably the most honest real song I've ever heard. What I would give to have a few hours to sit down and just talk to Henry Rollins about life and different subjects.
Wofl Strike Source Okay, that totally makes sense, I thought you were dissing the music. Rollins Band did keep me from filling an old roommate, though.
My 7th grade English teacher told me to look up this song because he said it reminded him of me. When I listened to this song the first time with myself In mind I wanted to cry.
No you guys are taking it the wrong way, I actually really appreciated it. At the time I was going through some really hard stuff in my life. I thought I was pretty good at hiding it, he was the only person that could see through it I guess. So when he told me about the song, I just kind of realized that he had been looking out for me the whole time. I can see how you would think otherwise though the lyrics in the song were a little demeaning.
that's amazing! that was a good teacher that actually cared. I would of given any thing for someone to notice and care about me and reach out to me. I was always standing by myself, i always had quick one liners about everything and everyone including myself. trust me when I say I was not the chick to get into a argument with. I hit below that belt with my words. I had friends that were normal social kids and wanted me to hang out with others and I was always so quiet in a group and secretly looked down at them and myself. so honestly this song is talking directly to me, and sometimes i get mad while i hear it because he's calling me out
Thanks Rollins band for waking me up with the truth. Like so many comments below, you saved my life at a time I wasn't feeling like it was worth saving. THANK YOU.
I wish more musicians always focused on having so much substance. I can think of some way more talented musicians who make better, more technical music, but are shallow as a pond when it comes to song writing. Rollins is one of the best song writers ever.
Rollins Band supported the chilli peppers in Glasgow in 1990ish and they performed this track. The sheer power behind it just demolished my mind. It's my goto track when I have lowselfopinion 💪
I find it so incredible that every single word holds weight and value. It's perfect in every way whilst being melodically genius. You can tell this must have just poured straight out of Rollins heart.
I always find myself shouting at myself in the mirror and shouting along with henry to this song. And when i pick up my bass to play it, i'm basically punching it
I think you got a low self opinion man I see you standing all by yourself Unable to express the pain of your distress You withdraw deeper inside You alienate yourself And everybody else They wonder what's on your mind They got so tired of you And your self ridicule They wrote you off and left you behind You sleep alone at night You never wonder why All this bitterness wells up inside you You always victimize So you can criticize yourself And all those around you The hatred you project Does nothing to protect you You leave yourself so exposed You want to open up When someone says Lighten up You find all your doors closed Get yourself a break from self rejection Try some introspection And you just might find It's not so bad and anyway At the end of the day All you have is yourself and your mind
Continued: You sleep alone at night You never wonder why All this bitterness wells up inside you You always victimize So you can criticize yourself And all those around you, yeah You got a low self opinion, man I see how it breaks you down I see how it messes you around The self hatred that binds you Blinds you, grinds you, keeps you down The world falls down around you You build up walls around you You wear disgust like a crown Oh yeah, hit me Yeah Yeah Huh If you could see that you that I see When I see you seeing me You'd see yourself so differently Believe me If you could see that you That I see when I see you You'd see yourself so differently I'll show you I know the self doubt That runs inside your mind I know the self doubt That treats you so unkind If you could see that you that I see When I see you seeing me You'd see yourself so differently Believe me
The last three words I'm not so sure, but here is the lyrics in order: I think you got a low self opinion man I see you standing all by yourself Unable to express the pain of your distress You withdraw deeper inside You alienate yourself And everybody else They wonder what´s on your mind They got so tired of you And your self ridicule They wrote you off and left you behind You sleep alone at night You never wonder why All this bitterness wells up inside you You always victimize So you can criticize, yourself And all those around you The hatred you project Does nothing to protect you You leave yourself so exposed You want to open up When, someone says Lighten up You find all you doors closed Get yourself a break from self rejection Try some introspection And you just might find It´s not so bad and anyway At the end of the day All you have is yourself and your mind You sleep alone at night You never wonder why All this bitterness wells up inside you You always victimize So you can criticize, yourself And all those around you Yeah! you got a low self opinion, Man I see how it breaks you down, I see how it messes you around The self hatred that blinds you Binds you grinds you keeps you down your world falls down around you You build up walls around you You wear disgust like a crown (Oh yeah. hit me) (Yeah!)

XHoRrOrPuNk666X I'm not sure why, but "Lonely Soul" makes me think of reference to Suicide (the band, that is) - Rollins is a huge fan of theirs and he did a cover of "Ghost Rider".
You sleep alone at night You never wonder why All this bitterness wells up inside you You always victimize So you can criticize yourself And all those around you
the mass-perplexity of low esteem and delusions have kept culture so bleak and materialistically shallow since right around when MTV came on the air, the chain reaction from then to now is stunning. People don't remember that USA neighborhoods were once very tame and generally pleasant anywhere you went. Fan of Black Flag and Rollins since 1982. I like his confrontational honesty and unselfish heart while aggressively just making sense of it all. Great character, and great album
@@IHeartNoise So the two places with the most people in the USA. Of course there's gonna be crime in urban centres. He meant average neighbourhoods in the kind of middle-size to small towns you commonly find around the USA, which are now mostly desolate or unsafe due to various factors.
I feel exactly like this. I was really in love with my high school crush but didn't try harder at talking more. I mean I talked but it was like 1 or 3 sentences. I also gave her a valentines day card. but nothing... so I still blame myself for my failure. so yeah I have a low self opinion.
chaotix562xx ca why are you guys blaming her? He's the one that didn't have the balls to have a decent conversation with her. She probably didn't even know he existed.
Incorrect, it's "Low S.O." "Nowhere soul" doesn't even make sense in the context of the song's lyrics, his language in the song isn't poetic like that, it's very direct.
All these people complaining that rollins couldn’t sing don’t get that he was never trying to sing
who is even saying that? thats just fucking idiot talk if you ask me.
This dude had one reason to be behind a microphone and that was to yell at it like it was his red headed step child
Those who get it understand, those who cannot get it I cannot understand
Still my favorite song from them and the final part of the song is just so great.
You should tell em to listen to spoken word poetry.
People think auto tune is how the normal human voice sounds like
This is probably the most honest real song I've ever heard. What I would give to have a few hours to sit down and just talk to Henry Rollins about life and different subjects.
he'd tell you to fuck off lol
I played this so much in my high school years..25 yrs later I still know ever word..n it hit’s differently
go see his spoken word shows.
worth it.
pay for the VIP package.
worth it.
read his books.
worth it.
This band saved my life.
Mine too.
Michael Desanta amen to that Michael!
Wofl Strike Source Fuck yourself.
Draykid it's not my fault that this person ruined Rollins band
Wofl Strike Source Okay, that totally makes sense, I thought you were dissing the music.
Rollins Band did keep me from filling an old roommate, though.
Henry Rollins is a BEAST. Always HAS been, always WILL be.
I feel so connected with this freaken song...Henry Rollins knows that inner pain....
I'm 19 years old and I identify with this comment from 7 years ago
I'm from the future and I relate to this comment from 658 years ago.
My 7th grade English teacher told me to look up this song because he said it reminded him of me. When I listened to this song the first time with myself In mind I wanted to cry.
Bella Boo thats fucked up
that's fucking cool your english teacher listens to The Rollins Band though
No you guys are taking it the wrong way, I actually really appreciated it. At the time I was going through some really hard stuff in my life.

We all need this song about once a month.
Thanks Rollins band for waking me up with the truth. Like so many comments below, you saved my life at a time I wasn't feeling like it was worth saving. THANK YOU.
I'm glad that you're still here, Brian. The world needs people with the ability to see beyond themselves.
You can’t write lyrics like these without experiencing these things yourself, or at least being observant enough of others to really understand.
if you could see the you THAT I SEE when i see you seeing me,you'd see yourself so differently , believe me!!!!.. ,,BEST LINE EVER
100% dude.
Simeon Cain is such a badass drummer
The drumming is epic here. Really works with Henry's vocals.
Oh ja!
He's really laying in!!
This is my neighbours' favourite song, whether they like it or not.
Also @ 3:22... BRING IT BABY! LOVE that solo!
Henry Rollins is the f****** goat and helped me become who I meant to be
Killer. I haven't heard this track in over 20 years. Takes me back instantly and it still. Fucking. ROCKS.
This man and Glenn Danzig are punk gods.
I wish more musicians always focused on having so much substance. I can think of some way more talented musicians who make better, more technical music, but are shallow as a pond when it comes to song writing. Rollins is one of the best song writers ever.
Lyrics so true... learning experience... thanks for the head check... thanks Henry.. cheers 🛤️
the song is true for a lot of people.
Sempre revisitando esse clássico dos 90’! Sonzera!
absolutely one of my favorite frontmen.
Whenever I feel shitty about myself I put this song on and it helps.
Roar !! Top shelf gold 2024 !!
great sound quailty

Timeless...amazing...
I always find myself shouting at myself in the mirror and shouting along with henry to this song. And when i pick up my bass to play it, i'm basically punching it
This song is getting me through today ✊
Played this cd to pieces when I was a teenager. Hank is the man!
I saw this tour in 92 at Mississippi nights in st. Louis. Tool opened. Was awesome!
Henry Rollins:
15% talent
100% human
The talent's in the writing!
Most relevant song ever
Always giving me strength when I need it!
Lyrics are that matter!
I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself
And everybody else
They wonder what's on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind
You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all your doors closed
Get yourself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It's not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
LOWWWWWW S - O LOWWWWWWW S - O LOWWWWWW S - O LOOOWWWWWW S - OOOOOO LOOOOWWWWWW S - OOOOOOOOOO LOOOOWWWWWW S - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Continued:
You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you, yeah
You got a low self opinion, man
I see how it breaks you down
I see how it messes you around
The self hatred that binds you
Blinds you, grinds you, keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You wear disgust like a crown
Oh yeah, hit me
Yeah
Yeah
Huh
If you could see that you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me
If you could see that you
That I see when I see you
You'd see yourself so differently
I'll show you
I know the self doubt
That runs inside your mind
I know the self doubt
That treats you so unkind
If you could see that you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You'd see yourself so differently
Believe me

I'd heard this, liar, and what's the matter man. Listened to life time in its entirety the other day and loved it. Underrated guitar player for sure
a fantastic tune , with groove and subtility in the same time !!!
The last three words I'm not so sure, but here is the lyrics in order:

Fuck this is powerful lyrics Its like he saw me and is calling me out on my shit

This song is theraphy.
Still relevant... probably more so than ever.
Henrys alright he's a hardcore punk no bullshit with those blokes.
According to legend Henry Rollins once kicked his own ass
YES.
Black flag in the end leaned more black sabbath Rollins perfected it.
My ex smashed my stereo over this album he hated Henry Rollins. Saw his first Australia gig love his songs
Your ex had no taste in music
@@unknowntosociety01 yep ithats a fact
This is how u play bass
Rollins: please begin rockin' again!
I like how absolutely no lyrics online have what the last thing he chants is.
Low S.O. although I heard it as "lonely soul" initially
LOW SO repeated
LOW S-O as in short for Low Self Opinion
It's like they gave up for this part, I think it's low s. O.
So many people are deaf. Can't even hear low s o
OH MOTHERFUCKING SHIT! GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY
I like it, sometimes it describes me mostly low self opinion he's got a huge point
For the love of music Henry put this band on streaming services. Black Flag are.
Sino te querés vos mismo ....Olvídate !
I punch myself in the nuts when I hear this knowledge
That seems a tad extreme, Hank.
this song affected alota people
great quality upload - good job
feel like dancing like the guy with dreads at the house party in point break,
People are paying big dollars for advice like this - thanks for the free therapy Henr🌞👊✌️
fucking rollins band, love 'm
I feel personally attached but hes right my guy FUK yeaahhh
Rulz don't forget this won
Oh...
Yeah...
HIT ME!!!!
3 people have a low self opinion
All he is saying is "Low S O". Geez Its not that hard.
To me it sounded like he was saying "Lonely soul, lonely soul" - haha.
Ilya S He is saying Low S O for Low Self Opinion.... It sounded like lonely soul to me too lol.
XHoRrOrPuNk666X Interesting how official lyrics deliberately don't mention what it is.
Its almost like they invite you to make up your own version.
Ilya S Yes, and Lonely soul fits the song... And It also can sound like "love is low","love is so....", and "low is low".
XHoRrOrPuNk666X I'm not sure why, but "Lonely Soul" makes me think of reference to Suicide (the band, that is) - Rollins is a huge fan of theirs and he did a cover of "Ghost Rider".
You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
I can relate
