I keep my focus on the simple things
Try to find some peace along the way
Wish I knew how long I’m supposed to wait
Holding on
But just barely
Got the feeling I’ve been talking to a dead, dead line
Always a reason
Let it change
Is there anyone there?
Listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain
I’m doing the things I’ve been told everyday
Then why does it feel like I’m moving in place?
Never had anything to prove
But never was anyone like you
All you fought through
All you had to face
Made you stronger, unafraid
Got the feeling I’ve been talking to a dead, dead line
Always a reason
Let it change
Is there anyone there?
Listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain
I’m doing the things I’ve been told everyday
Then why does it feel like I’m moving in place?
I gotta believe that you’re there
When I sing
Cause if you’re not real then I’m losing my head
Got the feeling I’ve been talking to a dead, dead line
Always a reason
Let it change
Is there anyone there?
Listening while you cry, cry, cry?
Always a reason for the pain
I’m doing the things I’ve been told everyday

Jimmy could honestly make a whole rock opera album based off this character.
Should**
Great idea
Love this damn song. It’s like a prayer of some one losing their faith or some one whose put in a ton of hard work in life and just isn’t sure if it’s going somewhere. Tough feeling but in my experience the patience pays off!
🙌🙌
That’s exactly it
Awww...I love the college film school vibe of it all even though they have sold MILLIONS of records. You spark my joy, Jimmy Eat World! xo
555 Jim should be the next Smash character
Yeah as Dr Robotnik
HAHAHAH THAT WOULD BE GREAT
its illegal for me to like this but please know i am in my heart
@@davidb4935 what are you talking about
@@davidb4935 Don't toot the zoot flute
You fucking own this ridiculous concept. I went from wide-eyed and skeptical to totally invested and wanting more. Rewatched the music vid like 8 times.
One of the coolest music videos I have ever seen. You guys did a great job!
This video and song was with me all through a mental breakdown 🤙🏽💯 powerful
6:09 I actually never in my life would think that a song, all encompassing, could describe why everything hurts so bad and nothing makes sense. Then Jim just says it...
This song hurts in my soul every single time. Such a masterpiece.
One of my favorite Jimmy songs and the video really completes the message
Love JEW and this song, but the video is so awkward and distractive, I cant even enjoy the song, my brain is too busy going wtf?
Every day, every day, every day!!?😎
I know the album came out in 2019 but I only discovered they had a new album out this year. Love the video for 555 and the song itself. The whole album is fabulous!
It is so fulfilling to be allowed to watch the making of the 555 video clip. What goes on behind the scenes is impressive, the work in finding the chair looks like a fun day. Great work, Amazing song!
Off Topic Fun Fact: if you write "555" to any person from Laos it translates to "ha ha ha"
I've been waiting for this since the song release
Masterpiece! It hit me July 7, 2021 will be added to my top works of art! Really amazing job on all aspects of this!!
I got introduced to this song last wk by a good friend & I can’t stop listening to it! Love the song & can’t stop watching the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love this song, and have always imagined his character here as the next evil nemesis in a Bill and Ted movie. Where they failed to write their music and this guy took over their world through his music.
after listening to the song for probably nearly 300 days in a row this was fun to see lmao
My most favorite Jimmy eat world song ever. Amd video of course. Epic af
Such a beautiful song, a work of art. Bravo.
Such a great tune and video! Fun to see the behind the scenes of it!
amazing video and song. also amazing band, tons of love for Jimmy Eat World
I want to see a sequel to this video
Now I want a sci-fi series of the Scientist-Overlord :)
It was so interesting to see the reactions while doing the video.
Good job everyone.
I have been waiting for this video since the 555 video came out!!!!
I'm soooooo excited and happy!
Special song special video special album... great job Jimmy Eat World
My favourite song from the new album, what a random video
totalmente adorable ♥
When the video came out I watched it repeatedly because there was so much emotion (in my opinion) throughout the entire thing! Still love it!!!!!
Man that message really resonates with me right now. It’s like the rare moment something speaks exactly to you.
We can see the weirdness take place haha! Never change Jim!
My favorite song.
I was so hoping this video would exist. Thank youuuuuu!!!
Adore the song and love how unique the video is❤️
I love this song and the video. And as a native Tulsan, I love the Cain’s Ballroom shirt. I can’t wait for you guys to play there again!
Jimmy this is a masterpiece! One of the best videos ever!!
This was the best song ever. I bet this song will play when the world ends. Over the sky and through the mountains and city streets.
I have this track on repeat. Love it.
Luv the video song is beautiful
This video reminded me of many of the sci-fi-oriented videos on early MTV (1981-1984, say). I came up on that stuff, so I can't get enough of it to this day.
I honestly love this song 🎧
I love this video (and song). Thanks for the BTS! Can't wait to see how creative you guys can get with the next ones.
I'm a longtime pop punk fan and this song changed my life. Love seeing the behind the scenes. I'm hoping it's the theme or bill and ted 3 but we'll have to see!
6.6m views and counting for the video. Well done guys. It was completely left field concept and went down really well!
dude i watch your music vid high asfuck all the time bro
😂😂😂
Loving the Piebald shirt worn by Mike Gill !
Jim even sets the bar for best overlord hair
Thank you! From the moment I saw the music video and watched it over and over I was like please let there be a 'making of' so I could see the process. Very cool :)
I freaking love this music video. Makes me happy every time I see it or even just listen to the song. When the video released someone commented:
"What are you going to be for Halloween?
I'm going to be a Jim Adkins!!"
And I think of this comment and laugh every time. Cheers me up no matter what.
I hadn't heard anything from Jimmy since the early 2000s, but when it came out I was stuck. I immediately couldn't stop watching it over and over, which never really happens to me, but the tune, words and video just got me completely overwhelmed with emotion.
I still don't know to this day why it hit me so hard, and I still listen on repeat from time to time but now when I listen I'm less in my feelings. I guess I've changed a lot over the last years, which is great, but I do fear for all the art that is dear to me and how I will feel about it over time, as I'm becoming less and less "sad and depressed". Hah!
I need more about this story, it looks/sounds so fricking cool!
Thanks for the behind the scenes!! Love it!
Парни! Это очень круто! Вы чёртовы гении! Смотрю это видео на повторении опять и опять. Спасибо!
I love this song!
I love listening to 555. The video is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen Jim make. I love it as well, but for very different reasons.
There's so much vibe here.... Trying to find some peace along the way!
Loved this song and the video since it first came out. Thought it'd be cool to recreate the costume for Halloween.
It was such a cool video! Would love to see more.
Heavy Dune vibes. This music vid just struck a cord with me.
It's actually based of a 80s Rick Springfield video
Surviving is such a good album!!! It deserved more music videos...
This video is awesome
I love the song and the video. Really really good!
I knew who Jimmy Eat World was, but this video made them for me. In my top 3 music videos of all-time. Take On Me, Black Crow (by Angus and Julia Stone) and 555.
Thanks a lot for showing the making-of
Very interesting!
I love the last line, "keep my focus on the simple things, try to find some peace along the way..." That a good way to live life.
I never really appreciated the skills of a makeup artist until I saw the 555 video. The lightning scars down his cheeks and the rising of the evil sun in his eyes and how perfectly everything meshed together.
Amazing!
I love how Jim is such an 80's nerd that he knows what 55 and 00183 are. Gotta love him!
One of my favorite "new" J.E.W. tunes.
I love this song and the video....it should have more likes in my opinion...
i have that same Piebald shirt!! their TM is cool af
awesome
Great song
Cains Ballroom represent! I've met Jim a couple times at the venue. Such great memories.
i was in junior high when mtv began and music videos became a "thing". so i can say with a degree of certainty, this is one of the strangest videos i have seen. but i really liked the song! i was not aware of this band (honestly, my radio is usually on 80s pop.) but i will be looking into more of their music.
I f... Love this!
0:13 MFING CAINS BALLROOM!!!! LETS GOOO!!!!
amazing video
Love the song.the video is a mystery explain
1:00 Jims "Rick Beato" costume is pretty good.
2:18 ahah the mime 😂😂
I don't know why, but I love to watch this video when I'm stoned 😂 I love Jimmy, I'm their fan for a long time. And Jim is my inspiration as a musician. And the idea of making 555 the way it is was their best idea ever 😂❤ Everytime I look at Jim's face with all that makeup and stuff - I'm crying from laughter 😂 I love you Jimmy Eat World ❤
Just want you guys to know you’re one of my favorite bands of all time and this music video single handedly has inspired an entire novel series. It’s been hard work and about a year now but I have so much work I want done for a multi book series. Definitely for fans of this and Dune or similar.
This was great! Jimmy Eat World.
That laser cannon is definitely the photon cannon that Josh built for the science fair to beat Mindy in Drake & Josh lmao
This reminds me SO much of Bill and Tedd
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance.
Saturday, Sunday.

Cain's Ballroom shirt. Nice.
Still better than Disney's Star Wars Trilogy.
I always thought Tom played the other character.
Same! Dude looks just like him.
Seems bit of a waste to not use Tom really
Me too!
This album and song is my most and last streamed pre-covid as i am excited for their first show in my country last March but was canceled. It feels like that was so long time ago already. But as the album title goes... Surviving.. currently surviving the pandemic..
love you guys!
Nice pfp
Adoro essa música e do visual que foi usado!
Loving the Wakaliwood Studios T-Shirt. "Who Killed Captain Alex?" - What a film!
Thank you for noticing! I got it at a Wakaliwood double feature a couple months before the shoot. One of the movies was “Who Killed Captain Alex.” Life changing.
@@MichaelGillcircumvision was just typing WAKALIWOOD!!! My kid got me onto them - my kid's named Alex - absolutely life-changing & now I have to re-watch this video to forget & love the genius work you put into the best music video I've seen in years!
@@kristenelizabethdraws Thank you!!!
@@MichaelGillcircumvision I've watched your 555 at least a few hundred times since it was published - aiming for 666 times, obviously. Looking forward to what you're producing next!
this was pretty cool to watch. still didn't explain why he chose to dress up as the most ostentatious anime villain
This is great. Always wondered who the clone bloke was XD
0:45 Jim would be a great joker
wut.
The video has the feel of the show Lexx. I wonder if it was an influence, or just coincidence?
in 2020 the spice must flow
I just wanna know who the F the one person is who thumbed down this? ... really?
They found out Tom wasn’t playing the minions
Very good, very crasy
