Hydra = your demons The girl = your innocence The lion = your strength The chains = your problems/fear The city = your battlefield The sword = your weapon/courage Statue = guidance Walking away = the ability to move on I love skillets messages in their music! This song is amazing
You are probably right, but that doesnt even matter. Everyone can choose to see the meaning they need to see the most at the moment. I think, that's how Skillet would like it.
I gotta say, Skillet is one of the bands I always come back to. I loved them as a kid, as a teen, and now as a young adult I STILL come back to them. Something about their music just brings chills through me
This is why Skillet is actually one of the best bands of the last 20 5 years!!! They really do their songs with a propose and meaningful lyrics!!! Long live Skillet!!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟
This deserves much more likes. God, will never give up on anybody despite what everybody thinks because they don’t understand as well as they think they do. I love this band I learned about it when I was young and my whole family is Christian. I love all the good things God has done for this world, these songs just show so much meaning. Btw, if you want a real good song on the Christianity complexities and a good insight on it, listen to “Fly on the Wall” by Thousand Foot Krutch, it has so much more meaning to it then people think, there are insights in this belief and how stupid us humans have ruined the beauty of Christianity and God because we are letting ourselves be restricted by Satan, every sentence of that song has great meaning. I’m happy to greet you to the family and I pray for you and everybody else. Everyone in the family welcomes you! 😄💕 You’ll find no regrets here I promise you.
I love the biblical references in this video; the seven-headed dragon from Book of Revelation, the lion that protected the prophets against the pagans, the little girl beginning her attack with just a stone and slingshot, like David defeating Goliath, her picking up the sword (from an angel statue) and fighting the beast with it, much like the archangel Michael fighting the devil, and a crumbling city that collapses, just like the walls of Jericho or Sodom and Gomorrah during the time of Abraham. This is an awesome video for combining these themes, and has a good message about not giving up in the face of insurmountable odds and certain death. Love Skillet.
I watched this video and listened to this song almost religiously every day when I was in middle school. It was the worst time of my life with so much going on, and this really was the song that kept me from dying. This song gave me motivation and courage to fight back, take my life back. And 6 years later, I have 👊
It is good that you keep listening to this song during your difficult time. Every life is precious. I know it is not easy. Don't let people defined your worth. Jesus loves you and He is proud to see you fight back. Jesus, I like to pray for Erica and ler her know that she is beautiful and precious in your sight. I am happy for her that she is coming out stronger from the fight she had been through. Lord, may you bless her with friends and people that you wanted to surround her with, so that she will not have to go through her battle on her own. In lord Jesus name I pray, amen. 🙏
No one in the whole world has any idea how the songs of these amazing guys, especially this masterpiece, can save my life and raise me up away from the depths of darkness, frustration, depression, anxiety and all painful feelings every time I hear them. Skillet for life. 🙏🏻
When I was at least 19 my whole life changed, I have my first panic attack and anxiety during that age. It scarred me for 3 years. Three whole years, I lived under fear and pain. It was like cold flame surrounding my body. I couldn’t bare it and I thought I just wanted to end it.... but I can’t. My heart, my body, my will, they said “No.” I cried to myself....but I kept going. I stood my ground, I keep my head high and said “I will not die. Not now, not ever.” I will never let myself go, I refuse to go down... because my whole family need me.. and I need them. I am a warrior. And I will die as a warrior. Nothing more.
This video gave me goosebumps and got me emotional .. As someone who is dealing with depression and anxiety, those animations brought the song to another level. Hats off, that's amazing!
This song is so powerful. I cry every time but it's tears of joy that my God will never leave me and He fights for me every day. Such a powerful message!
Lyrics: Death surrounds My heartbeat's slowing down I won't take this world's abuse I won't give up I refuse This is how it feels when you're bent and broken This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen When everything you love is leaving You hold on to what you believe in The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye And then I heard you flat line No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight Break their hold Cause I won't be controlled They can't keep their chains on me When the truth has set me free This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you finally fight back When life pushes me I push harder What doesn't kill me makes me stronger The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye And then I heard you flat line No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight Don't you give up on me You're everything I need This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you fight back No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight No, we're not gonna die tonight Not gonna die (Not gonna die) Not gonna die (Not gonna die) Not gonna die tonight
This song has become something that makes me feel like laughing and crying with joy because its meaning is so powerful. It shows that our Lord and Savior won't give up on us or our destiny hence the idea of fighting together in His Name. Amen!
I friggin LOVE this!! The lion and the girl can have so many archetypal meanings. They are both strong and willing to die for each other. The monster is so busy throwing them around they don't notice the weakening structures that finally collapse. The animation is different and poignant. Like the old silent movies, so much emotion and fear and determination is conveyed with a single glance. Norma Desmond would be proud. I'm so glad to have stumbled across this work of art.
My dad had listened to Skillet for years and i was familiar with most of their songs, but I first heard this song on my own last year on Spotify. I almost started crying, in school, because it's that good of a song!!
My 5 year old loves this video. She was explained in church that God is a lion. And now she sees this as her helping God destroy evil. Thank you @Skillet for putting out this great video.
this song is trying to point out that people who are suicidal should fight away that depression that's getting to them and try to think on the positive side cause there are friends and family who care for you so don't take your life from the people you love and care about cause then they become you and would never be able to think straight cause you are the light of their lives.
The lyrics are amazing. I love it, I love it, I love it. This is one of those songs that I try to listen to after an extremely bad day at school. The best songs are the ones that make you cry when you need to and stop you from doing something you’ll regret.
There are so many things this song is good for. I see this a a sign of courage against stronger opponents even if your life is at risk. I am playing this while playing safeguard mode And this is going to be used in an upcoming roleplay
Heard this song when I was feeling suicidal but it gave me hope to fight back and not give up.. M not gonna die tonight.. just gonna keep fighting forever.. ❤ Skillet
Girl-yourself Lion-your courage and spark Hydra-everything evil in society(bullies, people with greater power and rights, rich ones and way more) The story tells that you will survive if you stand still even all the danger runs towards you... how inspiring...
Tonight is the anniversary of when I almost let my own demons take my life. I’m never allowing myself to be put in that position again. I wish I could’ve sent this song from today to the broken girl last year this night. But I’m here now and this world is my battleground.
Man, I used to listen to this when I was 6 and now my memory of this song randomly came back to me so I did everything I could to find it and I'm so glad I did couse I've been feeling down lately. I'm so glad this song even exist. Thank you
GUYS! It's time to break the barriers! Move past any self-consciousness and move on with Life. Put off the old self...and PUT ON the NEW self! God in His mercy saved us...So now we can live life not consumed with sin, but with Hope!
Simple. When was the last time you had an atheist knock on your door on Sunday morning to tell you how much better life could be if you simply changed everything at the core of your being? See, that never happened, and it won't. People can believe what they want to believe, and honestly do not need it shoved down our throats. If you want to believe in Christ, and that fills you with warmth inside, cherish that. That's your faith. Yours. I don't want to take that from you. Please. Keep it to yourself.
Have you ever listened to a good song so many times that it makes you sick to your stomach, but then you keep hitting replay anyway cause you fucking love it!
I JUST LOVE this, im christian but not like OMG JESUS JESUS LOVE YOU, no I mean I believe in it and this music and all their musics ( of this band ) is AMAZING, not because they're christians, it's because of the lyrics they put, they don't put bad things and all that stuff, and because the put beautiful lyrics doesn't mean the music is bad, I love this, and also the lion that represents jesus ♥ it means we have to fight bck to everyone that makes us be down and all that, LOVE skillet ♥
I'm not a Christian (ex-christian) I'm actually a witch of 4yrs, however, skillet will always remain one of my favorite bands. I was obsessed with them as a kid. Whenever I felt alone, I would listen to their songs and would feel like I could take on anything. Keep up the good work Skillet!
***** There wont be any zombie apocalypse, but in the Bible, you can read that there is an APOCALYPSE, the 4 Horsemen of Apocalypse, War, Death, Famine and Pestilence.
Matt Marsh So much edge. Maybe we wouldn't be doomed to fail if people tried spreading more positive attitudes. "Be the change you want to see," and all that.
First time I heard you guys at Winter Jam Indianapolis 2018, I wish I had done my homework, listen to your songs before I went. Keep rocking it for Christ!!!
Ariana soorjudeen ok just want to make sure and I don't mind people I just stop believing in god when I was 13 but yea love the song(my English is not good)
Death surrounds My heartbeat's slowing down I won't take this world's abuse I won't give up or refuse This is how it feels when you're bent and broken This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen When everything you love is leaving You hold on to what you believe in The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye And then I heard you flatline No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight Break their hold Cause I won't be controlled They can't keep their chains on me When the truth has set me free This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you finally fight back When life pushes me I push harder What doesn't kill me makes me stronger The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye And then I heard you flatline No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight Don't you give up on me You're everything I need This is how it feels when you take your life back This is how it feels when you fight back No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes) No, not gonna die tonight We've gotta fight for us together No, we're not gonna die tonight No, we're not gonna die tonight Not gonna die (Not gonna die) Not gonna die (Not gonna die) Not gonna die tonight
“I won’t take this worlds abuse. I won’t give up I REFUSE.” “When everything you love is leaving you hold on to what you believe in.” “NO. Not gonna die tonight, we’re gonna stand and fight forever.” “We’re gonna fight for us together.” “Break their hold cause I won’t be controlled. They can’t keep their chains on me WHEN THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE. This is how it feels when you take your life back this is how it feels when you finally fight back.” “When life pushes me I push harder. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
I do not know how I missed this video. It may not be the best animation. But I love that they brought Jen's artwork to life. Her art style is so cool I think.
I find it beautiful, I can't relate to it too. My mom got a call from the hospice at 2 in the morning that my grandma had passed. So Jen's part is very beautiful to me.
Oh god. *I REGRET NOTHING* So, walking into English on Friday, *Everyone loves me in my English class, so this totally pieces together* I told everyone in the exact middle of class to scream "THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU FIGHT BACK!" and jesus christ! Everyone did it. I, and 29 other 7th graders screamed that one line.
Very beautiful song and animation! Thanks for creating a meaningful work of art with a good message been listening to Skillet since I was a kid! Love yall!
Okay, Hydra: a mental disorder Chains: symptoms of that disorder/ attacks/ anxiety Girl: person with disorder/ illness Sword: medication Lion: the help. A friend, family member, counselor, somebody who helped her fight the disorder/ illness. Sling: self harm (maybe), maybe ignoring it, maybe pretending to be okay.
This song saved my life. I had just been medically discharged from the Army in 2013. I was lost, regretting everything. I was combat arms, useless to any real job. I was listening to music, and was ready to send myself to Fiddler’s green. This song came on and I stopped. Thank you Skillet.
Wow, I love all the Christian innuendos in this song! This song is clearly about our lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross, hence what they were saying when he said goodbye and he "flat lined". He was beaten down, but he didn't die. Instead, he didn't die, he came back from the grave for us which what the end of the video represented. The buildings falling on the serpent and the Lion and the little girl walking away into the sun. Also, adding the little girl into this kind of like a David and Goliath reference was a neat add in.
X Squeeze me? I wouldn't exactly say it is about The Lord, or God or any Mystical so called Bible reference. It is more along the lines of Good verses Evil. I don't get where there is any Referance to something, that never existed. Sorry, Religion is the root of all evil! because everyone says that everyone else has to believe in what they do!!!!
Stormbringer642 Since skillet is a Christian band and explain the christian meanings behind many of their songs at concerts it would surprise me if this was not a Bible reference.
Holy moly guacamole I love this song from Skillet because it's so powerful it's great energy is enough to make me want to become the ultimate fighter that refuses to die
Hydra = your demons
The girl = your innocence
The lion = your strength
The chains = your problems/fear
The city = your battlefield
The sword = your weapon/courage
Statue = guidance
Walking away = the ability to move on

Lyrics:
Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up I refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Break their hold
Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flat line
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight
I refuse*
it's "i refuse" not "or refuse" common mistake though

See, that never happened, and it won't. People can believe what they want to believe, and honestly do not need it shoved down our throats. If you want to believe in Christ, and that fills you with warmth inside, cherish that. That's your faith. Yours. I don't want to take that from you. Please. Keep it to yourself.
awesome god died for our sins so I live for him
Yessss! Exactly.
How can 10k people dislike this video?
The animation is amazing.
The Song EPIC.
Skillet I'm speechless...
Great Job :)
For the first time, I’m happy that TH-cam removed dislikes
Have you ever listened to a good song so many times that it makes you sick to your stomach, but then you keep hitting replay anyway cause you fucking love it!
exactly how i feel
My dad dedicated this song to me when I was little, I forgot about It and now hearing it again makes me cry. I love you dad♥️
I'm sorry, may your father rest in peace.
6 years later and this song still breaks me...
Definitely yes..
Berkely Berkshire not only you!!!
Berkely Berkshire 6 months later this comment is still true
Same...me too
Berkely Berkshire me too
best band of all time
My dad used to play me this exact video when I was little and it’s one of the best memories I have with him
Not gonna die skillet
I thought it was hammer smashed face by cannibal corpse
THIS SONG AND ANIMATION IS FIRE
I JUST LOVE this, im christian but not like OMG JESUS JESUS LOVE YOU, no I mean I believe in it and this music and all their musics ( of this band ) is AMAZING, not because they're christians, it's because of the lyrics they put, they don't put bad things and all that stuff, and because the put beautiful lyrics doesn't mean the music is bad, I love this, and also the lion that represents jesus ♥ it means we have to fight bck to everyone that makes us be down and all that, LOVE skillet ♥
After watching this years ago and finally finding it again,this song still makes me sing at the top of my lungs.
Go lion go. Lion power. Rar.
+Hotdog Titan How enthusiastic.. XD
What power? Power Rangers?
+Pedro Arthur No, the POWER OF JUSTICE AND FREEDOM
Gracie Dent Lol.
+Pedro Arthur roar roar power rangerz.
I may be atheist but Skillet is fucking awesome
"I may be atheist" wtf? You're kinda half atheist or something?
I I am atheist, i just put it like that for some reason :/
Alex Vasiliu Oh, okay ._.
xx me fucking stomach hates me
(Also this "xx" is supposed to represent a dead face,not kisses incase of confusion)
This song make me cry ...
me to some times
The dragon thou shalt, the child and the lion, yes I cried as well
ikr
lol wimp
your a wimp
I'm not a Christian (ex-christian) I'm actually a witch of 4yrs, however, skillet will always remain one of my favorite bands. I was obsessed with them as a kid. Whenever I felt alone, I would listen to their songs and would feel like I could take on anything. Keep up the good work Skillet!
I hope you come back.
@@rameysue Don't worry, I'm where I'm supposed to be🙂💕👻
witch??
@@duck2659 Yep.
Newsflash: You we're only a Christian in name. You never actually lived or believed like a follower of Christ
This song makes me remember how much God,my family,and my friends love me
"Hey mom can I get this ne-" 2:11
LOL
ha ha
I laugh to hard at that
Just buy it yourself!
@@ujanreplays3545 I know I was talking about when I was little.
Comments on Skillet videos generally raise my hope in humanity
Until some douche bags have to make it about religion crap
And there it goes away...
There is no hope. Humanity is doomed to fall. I'm just laughing and watching it burn
***** There wont be any zombie apocalypse, but in the Bible, you can read that there is an APOCALYPSE, the 4 Horsemen of Apocalypse, War, Death, Famine and Pestilence.
Matt Marsh So much edge. Maybe we wouldn't be doomed to fail if people tried spreading more positive attitudes. "Be the change you want to see," and all that.
The best music Skillet has done in my opinion.Godly cook
The drummer Jen from skillet made this music video she drew all of this and it so beautiful
Trinity Ostrand really?
Max Bernabe yes she drew all of it by herself
Cool. Did she animate it too?
Max Bernabe she had help but she did draw all of it even the lyrics
Trinity Ostrand talk about being talented
First time I heard you guys at Winter Jam Indianapolis 2018, I wish I had done my homework, listen to your songs before I went. Keep rocking it for Christ!!!
Mr Dubs the band is Christian, but a lot of people who are atheists/other religion listen to them and ignore the lyrics/video that reference the bible
Ariana soorjudeen ok just want to make sure and I don't mind people I just stop believing in god when I was 13 but yea love the song(my English is not good)
Me: "HOW THE HECK IS THIS SO AMAZING"
*Watches the rest of it*
Me: "HOW THE HECK IS THIS MORE AMAZING"
God bless this band and this peoples, its such a strong message delivered beautifully!
The fight scene reminded me of something from a 1980's VHS tape...
I love it.
This song picks me up when I'm on the ground
This song get's me into a complete state of intensity, even in art class.
Beholden Honda i do the smae in english and poeple look like WTF is wrong with him??!!
If people(Specifically my friend Dustin) I tell him, "You better shut the fuck up real quick, or get your teeth kicked in".
#exactwords
Beholden Honda I should try that aha :) sounds fun to do
It's a hell-of-a-lot of fun. Take my word.
Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up or refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Break their hold
Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight
Alokin, why did you type the lyrics of the song on a lyric video?
"Types lyrics in a lyric video"
He just copy it look more up!
Pd: in the comments guys 😅
Jen's voice just hits different, man. Such a good combination with John's voice.
The Hydra is a Hydra
The girl is a girl
The lion is a lion
The chains are chains
The sword is a sword
The City is a City
Thanks
Haha
No se ingles pero
La tuya por si acaso
Well, dear V, you telled very logical thing. Congratulation with this "important" event of your life )
@@ОлексійСобран shut up weeb
Hydra - Depression
Girl - You
Lion - Hope
City - The World
Chains - People
More like damsel in distress while the brave one rescues them
+Durand Arthur (FunPlaysMC) this video makes so much more sense to me now
+Durand Arthur (FunPlaysMC) So basically depression is gonna kill you eventually.
Howie Ewalt yes.
+Durand Arthur (AnT0M) SO TRUE OMG
You can't touch music. But music can touch you!!!
True
True words
amen 🙏
That's a magic! 🌈
Dalhjav Bold So true
“I won’t take this worlds abuse. I won’t give up I REFUSE.”
“When everything you love is leaving you hold on to what you believe in.”
“NO. Not gonna die tonight, we’re gonna stand and fight forever.”
“We’re gonna fight for us together.”
“Break their hold cause I won’t be controlled. They can’t keep their chains on me WHEN THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE. This is how it feels when you take your life back this is how it feels when you finally fight back.”
“When life pushes me I push harder. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”
Officially crying my eyes out for some reason.
Skillet= BEST BAND EVER
Donnie Harper I agree
Yeh dude
True
wrong,u are a kid
Herd of Metallica i think not
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name.
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Thanks
This actually works, cause skillet is a Christian band.
Amen
(R)amen
Amen
I remember watching this when I was a little girl, brings me back memories.
Were gonna fight for us together
Me: Girl, where are your parents. I mean your fighting with a lion. Where did they go? Eaten? Squashed? Where?
Ikr and where is everyone else?
you know the dragon is symbolic of life kicking you and the lion is courage, right?
MsJessira I think it's a hydra 🐲🐲🐲
I though at first the Dragon as the devil and the lion as God(like the movie Narnia)
Nattiele Comstock I'm that hydra the king
life is a battlefield, most people realize it when the truth strikes, life ain't easy, i know, but i believe in you
angel of the shadows haha tik tok turned into a war zone
tik tok is a worse version vine
@@knightmare6670 I miss vine :(
So deep
Thanks!😊
Kool jamz... This was my wife favorite song before she past on... Thanks skillet keep rocking.......
I do not know how I missed this video. It may not be the best animation. But I love that they brought Jen's artwork to life. Her art style is so cool I think.
Is it bad this animation made me cry like idky but every time it got serious it brought tears to my eyes
No it did for me too you’re not crazy
I find it beautiful, I can't relate to it too. My mom got a call from the hospice at 2 in the morning that my grandma had passed. So Jen's part is very beautiful to me.
Oh god. *I REGRET NOTHING*
So, walking into English on Friday, *Everyone loves me in my English class, so this totally pieces together* I told everyone in the exact middle of class to scream "THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOU FIGHT BACK!" and jesus christ! Everyone did it. I, and 29 other 7th graders screamed that one line.
Lol
XD
Demeter Valentine Uhuh, okay, and you're like twelve??
EriYu So what if i'm twelve? Does age really matter? I think not.
Demeter Valentine That is freaking awesome and you are now my hero.
During this Corona Virus lockdown, who’s listening to this and not giving up hope?
Me
Me too
I am!
Not me i already gave up.
Jiří Vlach stay strong, we’ll get through this!
Very beautiful song and animation! Thanks for creating a meaningful work of art with a good message been listening to Skillet since I was a kid! Love yall!
I must ask: Am I the only one who thinks this could make for an _awesome_ final boss track in a video game?
I agree with you there!
good idea :)
Thank you both. It's nice to know I'm not the only one.
Hell yea xD
+ryarod Makes me think of the Walking Dead
This gives me chills. It really demonstrates how God (the lion) saves us in a time of need. Powerful
AMEN🔥✝️🤍
Amen❤
Halleluyah
From the seven headed hidra named satan
you must be following a different one...
Hydra:depression
Chains:anxiety
Girl:you and your life
Sword:happiness
Lion:positivity
absolutely
Okay,
Hydra: a mental disorder
Chains: symptoms of that disorder/ attacks/ anxiety
Girl: person with disorder/ illness
Sword: medication
Lion: the help. A friend, family member, counselor, somebody who helped her fight the disorder/ illness.
Sling: self harm (maybe), maybe ignoring it, maybe pretending to be okay.
The hydra should have one then
not bad
Hotel:Trivago
This song saved my life. I had just been medically discharged from the Army in 2013. I was lost, regretting everything. I was combat arms, useless to any real job. I was listening to music, and was ready to send myself to Fiddler’s green. This song came on and I stopped. Thank you Skillet.
This will always be 1 of my most favorite songs.
Aslan and Lucy fighting a giant hydra looks like skillet read Narnia.
Wow, I love all the Christian innuendos in this song! This song is clearly about our lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross, hence what they were saying when he said goodbye and he "flat lined". He was beaten down, but he didn't die. Instead, he didn't die, he came back from the grave for us which what the end of the video represented. The buildings falling on the serpent and the Lion and the little girl walking away into the sun. Also, adding the little girl into this kind of like a David and Goliath reference was a neat add in.
X Squeeze me? I wouldn't exactly say it is about The Lord, or God or any Mystical so called Bible reference.
It is more along the lines of Good verses Evil.
I don't get where there is any Referance to something, that never existed. Sorry, Religion is the root of all evil! because everyone says that everyone else has to believe in what they do!!!!
You do know this is a Christian band right?
Yes but guess what?
NO ONE GIVES A FLYING FUCK!!!!!
***** No need to get mad brother.
Stormbringer642 Since skillet is a Christian band and explain the christian meanings behind many of their songs at concerts it would surprise me if this was not a Bible reference.
Holy moly guacamole I love this song from Skillet because it's so powerful it's great energy is enough to make me want to become the ultimate fighter that refuses to die
ASLAN! YOU CAME BACK!!
melodramatic dragon i know right he's in narnia
Aslan 😊
Astım bayrakları
I did mufa
ARDA KLK aynen
Magic so positive song 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
