Love how JB's opening riff was in a minor key. Then after the breakdown, BREAK FREE!!! He changed it to major. The ultimate happy ending. This band is so amazingly talented.
Even though you wrote this 9 years ago, I am here to say I hope you got through your struggle. I am going through a struggle right now and Jesus is my way out and this song has such a Godly interpretation to me. BREAK FREEE!
@@tdk3713 Still a big song, but glad it doesn't apply like it did 9 years ago! Appreciate it man, and life is full of highs and lows, keep the faith and look inward as that helped me. Also this band released Spirit Breaker an album later which got me through another stage later on. You've got this!
@@tuckin4u hope your still doing good man. I don't believe in faith or God or anything but be proud of yourself too man and give yourself credit. YOU are the one who changed for yourself. No one did it for you👊 stay strong. Life is hard sometimes
This song seriously has so much meaning to it...literally brought me to tears the first time I heard it. Thank you to all of ABR for being there for me since day 1.
what i like the most about the lyrics is that they dont have to be interpreted religiously. they can be interpreted about love, life struggles, or many other things, depending on the listener. im atheist and i love these guys and As I Lay Dying for being bands that can write such versatile lyrics. not to mention they are both metalcore masters
I cried when ABR played this live on 10/4/12. He was looking at me from time to time, I was at the rear front. He acknowledged my existence when I felt no one else did. A few songs after that he reached his hand out and touched my fingers. It was an unforgettable experience. I will never decide to end my life because of that! I love ABR!
Man, almost all of August Burns Red's music is very inspirational! That's why they're my favorite hardcore band. If I ever get mad or worked up, I can just listen to some ABR, and it calms me down. Who says that you can't have a strong, positive message in metal music?
I started playing guitar 5 years ago.......and ABR has inspired me to improvise alot better than any other band. The lyrics are like reading my own mind. ABR, keep jammin, never stop, and keep that faith strong just as i do. God Bless.
Your life is beautiful & meaningful even without that experience! Remember you will always have 1 person who loves you & that's the 1 that matters the most (The Lord Christ)
I tell you nothing is better then positive metalcore. Whenever I feel like life is a lost cause I put ABR on and it makes me smile and, puts life into perspective. Thanks for all that you do ABR and I hope you stay together forever.
This song was so amazingly crafted. Same riff opening in a minor key, ending the song in a major key after "breaking free". Jake's closure which could have been suicide, yet he cried out to Christ and was renewed. Simply brilliant. I love this band so freaking much.
First lines are soooo true, silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign. that god exists and is there for me. this song is that sign for me.
I seriously get so emotional reading the stories and comments people have cuz it's the same way I feel and the reason I love music so fucking much. Its such an amazing new experience every time, getting away from everything for a few mins and getting lost in the music. Its fucking amazing!!
I'm still mesmerized as to how JB plays that intro and outro live without a single note missed... If anybody has seen the tab and learned it, you know that is DAMN hard, let alone on-stage, tired, and sweaty.. WTAF
compassion is a beautiful thing so show some for yourself!!! rock solid from the outside looking in. its hard to be surrounded by the ones that you love when they keep passing you by.
When I first got this album, I only liked this and carpe diem, but after fully exploring this, this band is awesome! Can't wait to get sleddin' hill on christmas :)
1:43 - calm 1:54 - "No one knows the weight on your shoulders..." 2:05 - 'These thoughts wont stop" - the music is heavy and dark ( I am sure this part is about suicide) 2:17 - I get frisson at this part and the high notes ringing at the end make my hair stand up on my neck and arms 2:28 - 'it be so easy to take the easy way out' - the suicidal thoughts again
@jakehuelskoetter21 No, the girl was named august, and the dogs name was redd. After that, there was a newsstory in the paper and the headline was: August Burns Redd
I love ABR because i can listen to songs like this and be so damn calm but at the same time i can listen to some of their other songs and get pumped the fuck up !:D
@MrGorditotechdecker keep breathing man!! stay inspired!! I know, I myself as an ABR fan , am always here to help anyone else needing to talk. ABR has helped me, so I'll help others.

"Silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign."
So true.
Specially when praying.lol
😂😂😂
When this album came out this song saved my life... thank you ABR!!
This song saved my life. I was at an all time low before I started really listening to this song. I didn't take the easy way out. I broke free.
Stay strong. We're in this together, add my on Instagram and hit me up if you ever need anything @cody_moon16

Listening from my new iPhone!!!! Makes this awesome phone 10,000x better!!!!!
Extremely underrated song, probably my favorite from the band
Amen

9 years later and I still come back for that opening riff. Such a good song.
Those song is easily the most beautiful thing in the entire existence of everything.

i think the best part about this song is EVERYONE can relate to this
wow im looking at this like 10 years later and they made an anniversary! wow respect
One of the best to ever do it
So beautifully composed
Forever my favorite band
Armando Casas greatest band on this planet
Amen to that!
Only ABR can perfect a breakdown in 7/8 time. EPIC. They've also have 5/4 (internal cannon) and I think 15/4 (boys of fall) on this record. NUTS!
I'd love to understand what you're saying bro
Life is a gift, everybody should know, that's the truth
No words to describe the beauty of their new album
Passing here just to remind about this band...
Your life is beautiful & meaningful even without that experience! Remember you will always have 1 person who loves you & that's the 1 that matters the most (The Lord Christ)
Still my fav band after all these years later esp this song. "No one knows the weight on your shoulders no one knows the burdens your bare!"
I read this comment and literally had to double take to see if I commented this LOL
Exactly what I'm going through right now! I love ABR! Such great music and their message is always important. This song has given me a lot of hope
Amen
Silence is hard, keep pressing God he wants to see effort with our faith
Still watching in 2021 🤘
I find this to be one of their or most underrated album :/
AAHAHAHAHA it sold VERY well, man.
BleedingMotionlessForeverHQ he means in compare to their newer albums not sales lol
Its their best album
Agreed. This track along with Empire and Carpe Diem are some of favorite ABR has every came out with.
I tell you nothing is better then positive metalcore. Whenever I feel like life is a lost cause I put ABR on and it makes me smile and, puts life into perspective. Thanks for all that you do ABR and I hope you stay together forever.
LIFE IS A GIFT. Epic.
This could be the greatest song ever written, the riff after the breakdown makes me wanna cry because its so godly.
HIGHLY underrated song
If just one person found as much inspiration from this song as I did, I'd be a happy man. That was quite possibly the greatest thing i've heard.
This song was so amazingly crafted. Same riff opening in a minor key, ending the song in a major key after "breaking free". Jake's closure which could have been suicide, yet he cried out to Christ and was renewed. Simply brilliant. I love this band so freaking much.
Jake: "Break Freeeeeeee!"
Me, screaming back: "Okaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!"
First lines are soooo true, silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign. that god exists and is there for me. this song is that sign for me.
LIFE....ISSSS..AAAA..GIFTTTT....REMEMBER THISSSS!!! Man I LOVE this band.
This is such an amazing song! It has such a great meaning!
In life you either choose to do the Right thing or the wrong thing it's like having an angel or devil on your shoulder
Amazing breakdown. BREAK FREEEEEEEEEEE!
the best gospel metal band ever ... with meaningful lyrics nd killer music !!!!!
I seriously get so emotional reading the stories and comments people have cuz it's the same way I feel and the reason I love music so fucking much. Its such an amazing new experience every time, getting away from everything for a few mins and getting lost in the music. Its fucking amazing!!
This song hits different at 3am when you are all by yourself.
very uplifting song. raised my spirits the other day. real talk.
0:24 ( Angry riff >:( )
4:17 ( Happy riff :D )
Hahaha Made my day, Friend. ^__^
saidoterodiseno 2:40 perfect riff
Minor to Major :)
I was about to say the same thing @@Boggs343
Rock solid from the outside looking in. One of the best breakdowns ever.
this song and composure seriously saved me from suicide. ABR forever
I'm still mesmerized as to how JB plays that intro and outro live without a single note missed...
If anybody has seen the tab and learned it, you know that is DAMN hard, let alone on-stage, tired, and sweaty..
WTAF
Lord Jesus please let me help everyone down hear during thies hard times
This song is perfect. Lyrics could not be more relevant.
The chords in this song. ❤
SO true man this song means alot to me and i love ABR man so i couldnt agree more
The key change was done perfectly at the end. 🎶
1st time hearing this song, and i love it!
Easily my favorite song on Leveler album
this is absolutly the best song of the whole album!
fu*king love it
The beginning of this song, the end of "Boys Of Fall" and the breakdown of "Poor Millionaire" = the three best parts of this album.
If you have headphones where you can hear the bass really well, the bass shudder at the first 'break free' is killer.
compassion is a beautiful thing so show some for yourself!!!
rock solid from the outside looking in. its hard to be surrounded by the ones that you love when they keep passing you by.
I love this song
the last breakdown is THE sickest thing i've ever heard in my LIFE
made my hair on my arms go up thats how good this song is
When I first got this album, I only liked this and carpe diem, but after fully exploring this, this band is awesome! Can't wait to get sleddin' hill on christmas :)
powerful song for sure
This song speaks to me. This is how my life is going sorry of. Everyone passing me by, no time for me.
NOW, IS THE TIME!... TOO BELIEVE!!! MORE THAN EVER!.!.!.
The best album of these guys.
I am so ''Air-Drumming'' each second of this song every time I ear it!
Jest that intro riff just kills my heart with joy :D
Seriously, its so addicting!
Damn this song really tugs on my emotional cords
1:43 - calm
1:54 - "No one knows the weight on your shoulders..."
2:05 - 'These thoughts wont stop" - the music is heavy and dark ( I am sure this part is about suicide)
2:17 - I get frisson at this part and the high notes ringing at the end make my hair stand up on my neck and arms
2:28 - 'it be so easy to take the easy way out' - the suicidal thoughts again
favorite band ever...so uplifting, so hardcore, and the best part, Christian :) -represent-
Thanks dude. That is awesome!
The intro instantly reminds me of Miss May I. ABR is far better though.
That key change at the end though!
I just had goose bumps from the lyics that was exactly what I needed to hear abr never fails and I praise God for that!
Amazing
My life too geez its so hard to hold on
@TitleTrack12 thank you for putting down something I know for my whole life!
My favorite guitar solo \m/
"THESE THOUGHTS WON'T STOP!"
2:40 godly riff

I love Dustin highs they ser so brutal!!.
4:03. BREAK FREEEEEEEE. Love that afterbass.
remember that!!
was this song written for me? i feel connected to the lyrics and it gives me relief.
August Burns Red invented the genre "HopeCore" back with Composure and keeps improving it!
August Burns Red knows me so well:)
very good lyrics i like this one it has a good mening in it
I think this could be one of their best breakdowns
@jakehuelskoetter21 No, the girl was named august, and the dogs name was redd. After that, there was a newsstory in the paper and the headline was: August Burns Redd
2:05 to 2:40 is my favorite bars from abr change my mind
Tonight shit's going to get down. August Burns Red, The Devil Wears Prada and Veil of Maya. Awesome!
Siiiiilaaaaaaaaannnceeee Isss a frustrating answer when all you wanted is a signn!!! *Head bannngg*
This song is sent from God
essa musica parece que nunca vai acabar

I love ABR because i can listen to songs like this and be so damn calm but at the same time i can listen to some of their other songs and get pumped the fuck up !:D
Leveler is on a different level ;) \m/
Thank you.
This song fn speaks to me..
4:17 I can really see a lot of Flurries in the outro.
@MrGorditotechdecker keep breathing man!! stay inspired!! I know, I myself as an ABR fan , am always here to help anyone else needing to talk. ABR has helped me, so I'll help others.
