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.
@@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 🌟
+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.
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.
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.
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.
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....
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! ❤❤
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." :')
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!
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.
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.
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!
Not only you got bullied, not only you cried in anger and rage, not only you felt alone. putting an end to our lives solves nothing, keep strong man. we´re all here, you are not alone. youre not the only sad person on world. i hate bullys and when i hear somebody kills themselves cause of them i get my memories back. we got to keep calm. one day we will be the ones laughing at them.
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
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 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 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 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!
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
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.
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 .
one of my favorite things about mattys lyrics is how he includes his faith in them without being preachy or being christiany. the fact that he says "you were CREATED to do great things" theres a bunch of other references to that stuff in songs like losing sight vices miles away and alive in the lights
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!
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 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
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
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.
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/
2:00 I have said these words out loud so many times in the past... Every day I wanted to quit and give up on myself, my dreams, everything... this song is fucking POWERFUL.
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!
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!!!!!!!!!!!
This makes me want to hug my mother, who doesn't really like me, and tell her I love her. It makes me want to seek out my father, who said he didn't want me, and show him what he's missing. Makes me want to make something of myself show the world that I'm worth something! I think I'll do it.
This song has quickly become my favorite song. 2:00 - 3:02 gives me chills every single time I hear it. I've finally found the courage and motivation through this song to stand up in the midst of all the things holding me back, keeping me down, look them straight in the face, and crush them into dust with everything I have. You guys are truly inspiring and I don't think you realize the number of people you touch with your music. Thank you MMF for everything you do.
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.
this song gives me goose bumps right around 2:00 and the rest of the song :'( i love this song with a passion, i just wish everyone would get over there selfs and start listenin to this kind of music, how many ppl it could help, how many ppl would start feeling more and start listening more :'(
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.
Not gonna lie. The lyrics hit me hard.
They were so slept on
"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!
i just moshed on that part yesterday MTY Mexico memphis/undearoath
"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.
fuck why'd I stop listening to mmf? glad they're back in my life
+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 🌟
This song is such a beautiful war cry. There's no other way to describe it.

On the defensive side. We fight for ourselves and in doing so, each other.... Much love
So true!

yes
+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.
yep
You spelled "The Hollow" wrong. ; )
Your life could be over before you ever had a chance to start.
True dat. I'm not even fully living life how I want to.
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.
Praise God
Tr❤ueZ 💚💜💯😎
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 dont know how i ever forgot about this band the songs are the best i have ever heard

Stickman Zed I agree, they were amazing, but I know BVB more. So I loved their performance more
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 cant say im such a big fan of the just screaming parts, but ive grown to love it and when its not screaming the guys voice is amazing
So I was playing this in my room, and my dad got mad and said "what is that it's awful turn it down" smh smh smh.
Kaylyn Soonias some people will just never take the time to appreciate a good song just because its not their kind of normal.
This song is so beautiful it makes me cry. Matty along with the rest of the band are exquisite & absolutely brilliant.
