without this one song, i wouldn't have a job. without this one song, i wouldn't still be in school. without this song, i would still be overweight and depressed. this song and band as a whole has changed my entire perception on life. thank you so much Memphis May Fire, i owe you my life.
I came here today because remembered I use to play this song in my car and sing it over my kids who were 17 at the time. I wanted to find a way to connect with them and still live out my Christianity, and tho I didn’t care for heavy metal myself, I connected with them through music. My son got saved at 21 years old after going into Teen (and adult) Challenge, which is a Christian drug recovery program. It took several years to find God’s purpose for his life but it wasn’t to be a drummer in a heavy metal band…instead he plays on the worship team in two churches…ours (were pastors and he’s a PK) and his church in the afternoon. He also has his own business in trades. I pray you stayed the course, but if not, I’d like to remind you that you were born with destiny already inside of you and God needs you to fulfill it…people will need you and your message!
One day i felt like crap and i just felt like giving up. I was going through my songs and this one started playing. It's moments like these that make me truly love MMF, the lyrics really help you and it felt like they were talking straight to me when i needed it. I love you MMF.
This was the song played during my high school's yearbook presentation the year one of my friends, who was a big fan of Memphis May Fire, was killed. They played it during a picture montage of him. RIP Timmy.
@@Skullcandyfan101 5 years ago haha! I've definitely grown since. The screaming aspects of the song are hard to listen to imo, but the lyrics will forever be incredible 🌟
I was 24 and lost when I first heard this song, dead end job, dead end life. I quickly moved on to other music that summer... still, I took the lyrics to heart, it's corny that a breakdown, chug fest of a metalcore song can make a 30 year old man tear up but, seeing this pop up in my recommended list, thinking back on the long slow crawl out of the hole I had dug myself... actually hit me so hard tonight. it's true, if you're doing something for the right reasons... it may not be fun or easy, but it will guide you to salvation. personal salvation, I'm not a believer, but I believe that you decide your fate. if you find yourself lost and discouraged, there is a way out. it's up to you to put in the work.
I used "They say you were created to do great things but words only come to life when you believe" in my valedictorian speech last week. This song got me through high school! It will always be a favorite! ❤❤
This song actually came on at youth one night and it was my pastors last day there before he moved to Florida and man my eyes lit up when I realized it was playing, it made my night. I love this song so much!
This song means everything to me right now.. I want to quit this game we consider life.. but this song gives me hope. It speaks to me and it makes me want to move on from the past.. Growing up is a trap.. Don't wish to grow up. be young and stay young for as long as you can.. Do what makes you happy. Don't sit around and wait for things to happen because they either wont happen or the outcome of what happens is not a pleasant one....
Life has pushed me harder than ever but this song and "Stay the Course" gave me motivation to keep pushing myself harder. Thank you Memphis May Fire "Lift up your eyes discouraged one...When you feel like giving up..When they say it can't be done...It's up to you to show them why they're wrong." :')
Memphis May Fire really composes their lyrics with meaning. That's why their songs are really beautiful and awesome. Not the shitty popular songs nowadays. They really create their songs to encourage everyone who feel down and lost.
+BrightDarkness Agreed. Now if only their next album will be as good as this one... Unconditional turned me off of them.. Most of those songs just didn't have that MMF shimmer to it... but I always come back to this album.
Hey man. I've been exactly in your shoes. But I'm still here because of Jesus Christ and this music and great friends. Don't let them get you down. You have a purpose in this life. You were created to do great things. Don't give up on this life. You're not a coward! You are strong
This song is literally what kept and still does keep me from falling into depression, it made me realize that no matter how hard it seems, I can still go on. Memphis May Fire, you all have literally saved my life more than once, thankyou.
I remember when this album was released, I had this song constantly replaying. Listening to this kept me alive and now I’m doing a lot better. Best song to get pumped for the gym!
This song helpt me when I was feeling like giving up on everything. I thank you Memphis May Fire for helping me! Now I speak out and no one wants to bullie me again with beating me up and call me things. I Owe Memphis May Fire my heart and soul. Thanks ones again!
recently replaced drugs and alcohol with working out and this song is on my workout playlist 5 times, it keeps me keepin on... especially when I'm the discouraged one.
I posted the lyrics on facebook, and my mom asked who wrote it. When she found out it was a song she told me that she was proud that I could listen through the screams and look at the meaning. I'm not listening through the screams, they're sexy as frick.
Your mom should've been buy this album and play VICES ,i swear to god , Even do The song had a Growl and screams the lyrics hit my heart and touch my heart deeply ,love for your mom
I remember when this band played this song at Warped tour 2017 and when it was over i felt like i haved more courage and love in life thank you for playing this song Memphis May Fire!
this band has seriously changed me perspective on life. they saved my life and helped me through times when i needed help and nobody would help me. thanks guys and keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!
When I got kicked from my old band, I was thinking about quitting music in general but my friend Silvia sent me this song and it helped get me back on my feet again.
the problem is a lot of people think they just scream and dont say words. it takes a kind of person like me and you to truly understand and appreciate this. its literally beautiful. and has helped me through harddd times album to album. it really sucks the whole world doesnt listen to this beautiful music. btw this is my favorite album this year and probably my favorite of all. keep it up brothers. \m/
I had listened to this song over for the last 7 years. I had been in a deep depression after my sister had passed. I wrote music myself but didn’t know what to do about life or its big situations to come. I would listen to this song to give me strength. I started my own business and it’s not easy to do but these lyrics are even truer now than they ever were, and I can’t help but to look back and think these words had something to do with it.
This song honestly helps me out so much, it's my favourite song on their new album and makes me feel worth being on this planet knowing that I do have some dreams in mind and that I can chase them if I believe. and the lyrics "They say you were created to do great things, but words only come to life when you believe" Is on my bedroom wall, to help inspire me and to keep my head up whenever I go running into my room upset about someone or something. Thank you Memphis May Fire. so so so much .
everytime in a crappy mood i can count on u matty mullins u really know how to express feelings well especially as a metal singer some don't have the talent like u hang in there man.
Sam Whitehead that's what I was thinking to. I went to go see BVB last night, and Memphis opened up for them and they played this song so I came here, saw this comment and thought Motionless in White
Stephano Barrels Makes sense. I knew BVB more, but their screaming wasn't very good. And the singer's mic kept cutting out, but the guitarist was amazing.
I love them!!!! "stop blending in start speaking out" is tattooed on my right shoulder out of all the band's I listen to they speak to me the most so I decided to get his lyrics tattooed on me he reached out to me than anyone else I live by this song and he has a point ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ MMF 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 the best
i really needed this. my life goes to somewhere i dont like. there are things i want to do but i cant cause im too scared no self-confidence. now i have enough courage to take the first step. thank you so much Memphis May Fire!
Bullshit! Don't lie to yourselves, not all of us are supposed to have a good life, to live happy and make your dreams come true. Some are losers born to lose. I'm a loser. Without losers there are no winners.
You're only a loser if you think you are. I have lost many times in my life, but I never stopped. I pressed harder. I became a singer/musician, I became a champion runner, and in two years accomplished more than I ever believed I could. But that only happened when I made a conscious decision that I wasn't gonna let myself or any of the others who said I couldn't do it get in my way. Sure you may lose, but by not losing hope you've already won a battle not many win. Only if you don't try is there any true disgrace; if you've tried and failed, you've at least tried, and not many people get the concept of trying anymore. You may not know me, and I may not know you, but I believe in you even if you don't believe in yourself. Never give up.
I believe what you say, but sometimes circumstances are just much bigger than us and our will. For example a disease, physical or psychological, can devastate your life and keep you stuck in the same situation for years and years. That's my case too. I'm not going to specify or explain more about my situation, but trust me when I say that there are things that go beyond our will and our control. Hoping at some point just feels like covering the truth of reality with illusions.
when im really on a major mental breakdown because im too afraid of the future my friend suggest me to listen to this song, when i listen and read the lyrics it's just too damn good it really touch my heart and lift back my spirit. thanks memphis may fire you guys really save me
I am literally crying. I really just took the time to read every single lyric in the song because i never payed much attention to it even though memphis may fire is my favorite band.. and I am just shocked by how amazingly perfect this song is at encouragement . I am blessed to know of this band I really am
"Live every day like its your last chance to be heard or seen, because the good die young, and the great change the course of history". That has to be one of my favourite lyrics ever! I Fucking love this band!!
Lift up your eyes discouraged one. When you feel like giving up, when they say it can't be done show them they're wrong! This is the most inspiring thing I've ever heard!
I remember about a year and a few months back... I was down on my back, girl left me, family stopped believing in me and I was struggling at University... This song gave me hope and motivated me basically on a daily basis. Now I am typing this message at my new Job, I have managed to become a software developer. Music is powerful and beautiful Thanks Memphis for letting me know when no one believes in you, all you need to do is believe in yourself
without this one song, i wouldn't have a job.
without this one song, i wouldn't still be in school.
without this song, i would still be overweight and depressed.

Not gonna lie. The lyrics hit me hard.
They were so slept on
"Lift up your eyes discouraged one" was the very first tattoo I got when I turned 18 and it still means everything to me. I absolutely love it.
old MMF was lyrical perfection.
Taylor Breen o
mine is "These bones are only temporary"
Was actually reading through these lyrics to see if there would be a cool quote to have as tattoo, that's the one.
Cheese.
This song is such a beautiful war cry. There's no other way to describe it.
Mr Spriggs fax
On the defensive side. We fight for ourselves and in doing so, each other.... Much love
So true!
"SHOW THEM THEY'RE WORNG!" FUCKING LOVE THIS PART
Chills, every time!
Right!
Yea definetly best part of the whole song
Such a build up love it!

+Esai Garcia Me too man, i am obsessed right now
Are they still in your life? I hope so.
@@Skullcandyfan101 5 years ago haha! I've definitely grown since. The screaming aspects of the song are hard to listen to imo, but the lyrics will forever be incredible 🌟
"Embrace the struggle when it's all you can see" goddamn this hits me real hard
i dont know how i ever forgot about this band the songs are the best i have ever heard
Same
+Angel Hernandez same dude, I just got done listening to the whole the hollow album and making my way through this beautiful piece of art
+Captain Levi Ackerman Yep, same as me you cant simply just listen to 1 of these masterpieces lol
I was 24 and lost when I first heard this song, dead end job, dead end life. I quickly moved on to other music that summer...
still, I took the lyrics to heart, it's corny that a breakdown, chug fest of a metalcore song can make a 30 year old man tear up but, seeing this pop up in my recommended list, thinking back on the long slow crawl out of the hole I had dug myself... actually hit me so hard tonight.
it's true, if you're doing something for the right reasons... it may not be fun or easy, but it will guide you to salvation. personal salvation, I'm not a believer, but I believe that you decide your fate. if you find yourself lost and discouraged, there is a way out. it's up to you to put in the work.
Youre not alone brotha you are not alone.
I used "They say you were created to do great things but words only come to life when you believe" in my valedictorian speech last week. This song got me through high school! It will always be a favorite! ❤❤
my lit teacher showed me this band and i am so happy he did its great
You have a amazing teacher then

Thanks man, you know what really ironic? The promotion I'm fighting for is called Legacy.
I watched your fight man, your precision of punches were ridiculous! good luck in the future
