I appreciate women like her! She's amazing, she speaks about the fucked up society we live in and how people are so stupid these days. Metal woman here ✊
How do you feel about Otep not listening to metal? She only listens to hip hop and rap. Or so she said on her facebook. November 10th if you want to check it out. I'm done with this fake ass band.
Just learning about this band now. And im so glad I did. This girl is amazing!!! Its great bands like this that don't get the attention since mtv and fm radio decided to be nothing but sell outs.
I love you Shamaya. You were with me through the darkest times growing up I listened to you every day starting a 15 till I got pregnant at 17 and devoted myself to my son but we still jammed. I’m a Christian now I love you , still listen and have no bad blood with you. I love you so much
she is the fuel to my fire, my spark is my own humanity and her voice is the one in my head , her words inspire, this is one of the songs i use when i have had enough .
Damn I love Otep, I hated this genre 2 years ago but slowly melded into it when I started listening to Marilyn Manson and In This Moment. Sorry If I confuse genres.
I saw them live years ago, & they were on of the most intense, crazy bands ever. These days, they are 100 times more intense. All due to the realism. The true words & the passion. Otep, you are a Godess.
i'm pretty sure this song is saying stand up for who YOU are.. your beliefs, your personality, your individuality... always stand up and fight for who YOU are!!!
DUDE... i love jazz. blues. funk... rock 'n' roll. heavy metal. thrash metal. hair metal. 80s pop. 80s dance. 90s trance. death metal. technical death metal. technical death metal with slight grindcore in it. melodic death metal. goth metal. symphonic metal. some power metal. i also love 80s dark wave, coldwave, and deathrock. don't forget hipster garage punk, modern chillout indie disco. indie rock. punk. and ska... now you know my type...
YES! \m/ This makes me not ashamed of my scars-I never got any tattoos bcuz I have scars everywhere, I can't even wear just shorts & a Tshirt. Always long sleeves & pants. I thought about getting tattoos just to cover all the scars, but then I realized I can't afford tattoos....I can use markers though! That way I can have different ones every week, If I don't like it-I can just wash it off or let it fade! Otep makes all that unnecessary though-who cares who sees it, who cares if its ugly, I just hate the inevitable questions that it brings. ROCK \m/ ON!
I have tattoos over one patch of scars, they don't disappear but in my own personal experiences have made me grown more confident. But try wearing short sleeves at your house when no one is around then gradually wear them around. It helps. Also Laura Lejeune if you don't have her added yet, deals with scars etc. And fading material
hold your self up and love your scares. its a part of you. who gives a fuck what people think. your not going to be able to please them all. so you might as well please your self and tell people like it is
Your scars can be seen as battle medals as you go through life. You survived and you still fight on, ever battle ready. They are a part of you and if anyone is disrespectful about them, pay them no mind. You are a shadow soldier. Fight on. Sevas Tra.
As far as I can hear the microphone is overloaded causing it to distort. It's fairly simple to reproduce: if you have a microphone lying around boost it's recording volume (and enable microphone boost if that's supported) and talk/whisper/sing straight into it from a short distance (as in a couple of centimeters/few inches in front of your mouth). Cheap computer microphones work even better.
Guys this is a Studio mix and has nothing to do with how she handles the mic. Its just distorted in the mix on purpose with some effect on the vocals :)
Being bullied is hard, especially if you are a woman being bullied by guys and especially if you happen to be sensitive. I am one of those oversensitive borderlines who has anxiety and I would consider myself weak or maybe thats what they want me to believe but one great thing about being someone who feels emotions intensly and gets badly hurt, people wont fuck with your anger. For Otep (and myself) like she would want, I am gonna try not be fearful anymore and have no more tears.
This is the sickest Fight Club: Otep giving it large whilst there's a good beat-down going on. I would find it hard not to break Rules 1 & 2 as I would have to talk about this one...but then they did break Rule 6 after all!!
Fists Fall Otep No more tears Stand up to your fears Keep your voices raised Keep your knuckles bloody Keep your voices raised Keep your knuckles bloody No more tears I was born to be broken (Broken) Calling, gagging, spitting, Falling, bleeding, begging vermin I exist without purpose (Purpose) Teach me, tell me, push me, hurt me, hit me harder Fists fall like rain On my knees, but I'm not afraid Cowards die everyday I'll face the attack Pressed to the wall but fighting back I'll face the attack Pressed to the wall but fighting back I'll face the attack Pressed to the wall but fighting back And now that you see me .....

DAMN! That was one of the best videos Ive ever seen! I think videos where bands play in the midst of something chaotic are always the best ones. And I have to point out, the girls fighting girls was quite awesome. Otep is the absolute best.
Thank u Otep for helping me find the strenght and courage to stick up for myself, especially as a woman who is up against mostly guys (cowards). I usually just ignore bullies but now I am not gonna take their shit anymore. For the first time the other day, I stuck up for myself and insulted the shit out of them. Called them exactly what they were, worthless pieaces of shit and cowards who need to fuck off which they did out of fear. I cried at home but now NO MORE TEARS. It may get physical.
Lady-Jett Saine I didn't say anything about her being or not being a feminist so I don't understand why multiple people are replying this to me? I just said she was a badass. What the fuck.
I seriously can't wait for the day where I don't have to hear any debate about race, culture, gender, sexuality or anything else that people use to separate each other, because that day would mean we finally focused on things that really matter.
i am ashamed that I haven't picked up this album yet. i will fix that in the morning and blast it until the speakers in my camaro are blown (i have an extra set to replace them). great tune, great video, and love Otep's new look in this video. sadly i missed them in concert thursday due to work (smash the control machine anyone?). i hope they return soon.
12 years, and I keep listening this music, I LOVE THIS MUSIC !!!
No more tears
Stand up to your fears
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
I was born to be broken
(Broken)
Calling, gagging, spitting, falling, bleeding, begging vermin
I exist without purpose
(Purpose)
Teach me, tell me, push me, hurt me, hit me harder
Fists fall like rain
On my knees, but I’m not afraid
Cowards die everyday
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
And now that you see me
I’m terrified
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
I am on the brink of destruction
Pushing, pulling, nagging, feeling sweet seduction
I’ve had enough
Of the lies and the alibis on your lips
Fists fall like rain
On your knees, you look so afraid
Cowards die everyday
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
I’ll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
And now that you see me
I’m terrified
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Standing over me, my body
His fists swollen and bloody
My marks and raw scars
I’m not gonna take it anymore
I’m sick of this shit
Not gonna flinch
If I gotta go down, it’ll be swinging
You will see you can’t break me
I’m not gonna take it anymore
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
No more fears
Strike the anchors
Use your anger
Defy the master
Break the rules
Keep your pride locked up inside
It belongs to you
They think they’re stronger, bigger, better
But they’re just jealous cowards
Fuck what they say
Fuck what they think
About us
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Cowards
And now that you see me
Now that you see me
Now that you see me
Now that you see me
You are terrified
You are terrified
You are terrified
*teach me, tell me, rip me, push me…

Billy Wicked I don't really care. I listen to some of that too. She can do whatever
Billy Wicked I watched an interview with her and she said she listened to stuff like slipknot .-.
BloodyRecklessB*tch_ _ 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥hell yeah
Thomas Quartararo I thought you said "he'll fucking yeaahhh" 😂♈
I LOVE HER VOCALS AND STYLE SO MUCH
Probably the song and videoclip that make you want to beat the crap out of everyone who ever harmed you.
🤘🤘
Otep is the ultimate articulate,poetic,political goddess I've love her art since 2001 and down wit it all!!
Seen her twice ! She always talks with fans before and after the show !
A Fist Falls on repeat kind of day. A decade later, and when life is kicking my ***, the first song I want to hear. Can't wait for the new album.
She has so much power and range. My gosh... I like it!
+Hunter Craig You want to hear real range? Check out Alissa White-Gluz when she was with The Agonist.
+FragPenguin please....lol
@@Hostile345 she literally was inspired by Otep same with most female fronted metal bands
Yes, I agree!
Just learning about this band now. And im so glad I did. This girl is amazing!!! Its great bands like this that don't get the attention since mtv and fm radio decided to be nothing but sell outs.
i love her and how she can do that with her voice, shes a good model for screamers i loved otep since i was little, still do!!!!
This song is what gets me through my physical therapy for my guillain Beret syndrome! Thank you so much @Otep
Knuckles always bloody, feet firm in their standing, unwavering resolve.
They will not break me!
SEVAS TRA!!
I love you Shamaya. You were with me through the darkest times growing up I listened to you every day starting a 15 till I got pregnant at 17 and devoted myself to my son but we still jammed. I’m a Christian now I love you , still listen and have no bad blood with you. I love you so much
SHE is badass
she is the fuel to my fire, my spark is my own humanity and her voice is the one in my head , her words inspire, this is one of the songs i use when i have had enough .
Damn I love Otep, I hated this genre 2 years ago but slowly melded into it when I started listening to Marilyn Manson and In This Moment. Sorry If I confuse genres.
This is my song to all the women today. Remember today, and don’t you dare shed a single tear. It’s time to fight back.
Perfectly put. I'm here bc a friend asked what song I'd fight the supreme court to. I immediately thought of this song.
FUCK. YES. IM TIRED OF TAKING THE BULLSHIT. WHEELCHAIR OR NOT. THESE KNUCKLES WILL BE BLOODY.
There are some prolific killing machines on the side of men that have your back 💯 out of moral outrage alone
😂
Every time i watch this, my heart gets pumping! and she leaves me with shivers
This song gives me the power to overcome anything.
I saw them live years ago, & they were on of the most intense, crazy bands ever. These days, they are 100 times more intense. All due to the realism. The true words & the passion. Otep, you are a Godess.
That rainbow colored bracelet has never looked so brutal. \m/
that's not a rainbow bracelet...it's the women equality bracelet...that's why in the vid you see a man getting pounded by a woman...
James Baird
"THE MORE YOU KNOW!" Thanks. I wasn't aware, lol.
Alejandro Mirabal Rainbows are stripes, women equality is beads or squares...typically
James Baird so that's equality huh?
WTH? rainbow is rainbow is LGBTQI......whether it's stripes, rings, beads, squares, or flags. it's because she's a lesbian and proud of it
it doesn't matter what these guy put out, i have to watch it. and then i can't
look away. awesome!!!
I can't believe I never discovered this band's existence until now.
One of their best songs/videos I've seen. She speaks in volumes to me.
i'm pretty sure this song is saying stand up for who YOU are.. your beliefs, your personality, your individuality... always stand up and fight for who YOU are!!!
DUDE... i love jazz. blues. funk... rock 'n' roll. heavy metal. thrash metal. hair metal. 80s pop. 80s dance. 90s trance. death metal. technical death metal. technical death metal with slight grindcore in it. melodic death metal. goth metal. symphonic metal. some power metal. i also love 80s dark wave, coldwave, and deathrock. don't forget hipster garage punk, modern chillout indie disco. indie rock. punk. and ska... now you know my type...
I remember blood pigs when I was 14, I'm 36 now still love otep
everyday,Better than a cup 'o' coffee. Starts my day off badass
Her voice is so diverse it makes the song so much more diverse and intense by how she changes her tone throughout
My all time favorite artist of forever. She has so much power behind her voice. She's a titan of music and the best artist I've ever heard
My good friend actually met the lead singer before in person. Then she recommended this band to me, I love it
I so cant wait to see her.yay.shes coming to tulsa oklahoma
I loves Otep seen her live on stage
Very raw power in her music so amazing
YES! \m/ This makes me not ashamed of my scars-I never got any tattoos bcuz I have scars everywhere, I can't even wear just shorts & a Tshirt. Always long sleeves & pants.

your scars are what remains of what could not kill you. wear those badges proudly!

Literally the most Brutal video and song I have ever heard and saw in my life!
God the energy in this song is insane
This song have been echoing in my head for days...
As far as I can hear the microphone is overloaded causing it to distort.

0:03 ASMR from Otep
Indeed, my favorite! A fellow corageous, creative, artistic genious! Hopsin music is the type of dark humor that gives me joy!
Great song and vocals, but is she actually screaming or is that a distortion effect. It's hard to tell on my phone.
is it just me or do the screams sound a little bad in quality like the microphone couldn't handle it and crapped out
+JUNTEX It's the video. Sounds fine on the disk.
I think it's because she's cupping the mic, which increases the chance of feedback, I'm not sure if it's intentional or just how she's holding it.
Guys this is a Studio mix and has nothing to do with how she handles the mic. Its just distorted in the mix on purpose with some effect on the vocals :)
Few more weeks and I'll be seeing Otep live! Cant fucking WAIT!
wow miss this band
I LOVE OTEP:)
Keep it coming Otep this is some prime in your fraken face rock! Her creativity is second to none.
Being bullied is hard, especially if you are a woman being bullied by guys and especially if you happen to be sensitive. I am one of those oversensitive borderlines who has anxiety and I would consider myself weak or maybe thats what they want me to believe but one great thing about being someone who feels emotions intensly and gets badly hurt, people wont fuck with your anger. For Otep (and myself) like she would want, I am gonna try not be fearful anymore and have no more tears.

+Mary Rose Roche it just means you have a heart i was bullied tell on day I snapped and now i am stronger
Our species gets what we deserve, suffering at the hands of our brother and death. Lay low O child of this species, as we were born to die.
where did this otep go... want this back...
I love her \m/
This is the sickest Fight Club: Otep giving it large whilst there's a good beat-down going on. I would find it hard not to break Rules 1 & 2 as I would have to talk about this one...but then they did break Rule 6 after all!!

Love this song agressive and subtle at times brilliant

Fists Fall
Otep
No more tears
Stand up to your fears
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
I was born to be broken
(Broken)
Calling, gagging, spitting,
Falling, bleeding, begging vermin
I exist without purpose
(Purpose)
Teach me, tell me, push me, hurt me, hit me harder
Fists fall like rain
On my knees, but I'm not afraid
Cowards die everyday
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall but fighting back
And now that you see me
.....
I'm terrified
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
I am on the brink of destruction
Pushing, pulling, nagging, feeling sweet seduction
I've had enough
Of the lies and the alibis on your lips
Fists fall like rain
On your knees, you look so afraid
Cowards die everyday
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
I'll face the attack
Pressed to the wall, but fighting back
And now that you see me

I'm terrified
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Standing over me, my body
His fists swollen and bloody
My marks and raw scars
I'm not gonna take it anymore
I'm sick of this shit
Not gonna flinch
If I gotta go down, it'll be swinging
You will see you can't break me
I'm not gonna take it anymore
Keep your knuckles bloody
No more tears
No more fears
Strike the anchors
Use your anger
Defy the master
Break the rules
Keep your pride locked up inside
It belongs to you
They think they're stronger, bigger, better
But they're just jealous cowards
Fuck what they say
Fuck what they think
About us
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Keep your voices raised
Keep your knuckles bloody
Cowards

DAMN! That was one of the best videos Ive ever seen! I think videos where bands play in the midst of something chaotic are always the best ones. And I have to point out, the girls fighting girls was quite awesome. Otep is the absolute best.
This would be a amazing entry song for a boxer/ mma fighter! I would so use it for awhile!
Thank u Otep for helping me find the strenght and courage to stick up for myself, especially as a woman who is up against mostly guys (cowards). I usually just ignore bullies but now I am not gonna take their shit anymore. For the first time the other day, I stuck up for myself and insulted the shit out of them. Called them exactly what they were, worthless pieaces of shit and cowards who need to fuck off which they did out of fear. I cried at home but now NO MORE TEARS. It may get physical.

***** Um. Did I ever say she was a feminist..?
+Luna Girl She is though... She says so herself.
Lady-Jett Saine I didn't say anything about her being or not being a feminist so I don't understand why multiple people are replying this to me? I just said she was a badass. What the fuck.
Calm down! If you don't want people to reply just don't comment. Or reply...
GREAT SONG!!

Wow has it really been 11 years since this came out
Otep keeps my heart beating...
All you need is Otep
It is because, I didnt know yaw even existed. Do you know what Munchhassen by Proxy is?
I seriously can't wait for the day where I don't have to hear any debate about race, culture, gender, sexuality or anything else that people use to separate each other, because that day would mean we finally focused on things that really matter.
best hair stylist of the 21st century .. hands down ...oh yea ,.... OTEP I mf Love you .. at least I think this is love. 😊💙
Getting some Fight Club vibes from this video. And I love it 🤘🔥

I'm happy to see Otep is still playing and kicking it. Good song, not original video, but looks great anyway.
I love you otep 3
i am ashamed that I haven't picked up this album yet. i will fix that in the morning and blast it until the speakers in my camaro are blown (i have an extra set to replace them). great tune, great video, and love Otep's new look in this video. sadly i missed them in concert thursday due to work (smash the control machine anyone?). i hope they return soon.
How is her voice so powerful? That's pretty cool.
