I was a stay at home father and househusband for almost five years. I was daily ignored and told that I stayed there because it was what was best. I could love the woman who abused me emotionally and mentally. I remember thinking "I can do this because it must be right". This song embodies all of that for me. Everything ended in divorce. She had been lying about so many things for the near ten years we were together. I was finally tossed to the side, but I was set free, honestly. Now it's just me and my son.
Tossed aside, but quietly being freed... I feel that. Reminds me of a quote that sticks with me. From the premium cardboard rectangles of MtG. The fools thought me dead. But I built an empire inside my tomb.
I don't think I've seen anyone mention how well done this music video is. I love the storytelling, its so refreshing to see art in metal, rather than some dudes playing in a warehouse. Not that I don't dig that too, but it gets old after awhile
@@conorharrigan9311 cuz the band in a grassy field with orange amps didn't get enough traction. or the playing in a parking lot on a rooftop. or the video playing in the rain. or crow the empire combining all the overused sets
Can we stop for a minute, ignore how ridiculously good the song is, and appreciate the directorial vision and the camerawork in this video? Holy frick, it's been years or even decades since I was this touched by a music video.
Did you catch that she was chained in the hallway and that there was someone pushing on the curtain while she was in the bathtub? I catch more every time I watch it.
Should check out some Silent Planet when you in the mood for new shit...their visuals are pretty damn impressive too, cinematography wise, oh they're a band just to clarify lol, have a good one.
It hit me right about 1:54. As soon as I saw that, I got immediate Silent Hill 3 vibes and went complete ape shit. I NEVER listen to female fronted metal bands EVER, but this is the _shit,_ man.
This song feels like someone is finally realizing the patterns of abuse/toxic addiction in their relationships and they are finally gathering the strength to move on. Absolutely stunning. Metal has been missing this kind of art for a long time
I heard an interpretation that the relationship was "depression" itself. The way that we can often feel romanticised by the grasp of it. Not wanting to leave that mindset because it's familiar and warm, despite its intention to kill us slowly.
@@i.cant.sleep.anymore Unfortunately I've been there, hell, still sort of am. The path to getting out is awful, worse than the depression itself to be honest.
Handmaid's Tale vibes, anyone? The title, the scenes, the bathtub, the outfits, the colors, the house, all of it. Not to overshadow the abusive relationship that clearly is in this incredible song. I love it.
The song is amazing, and I can't stop listening to it. But the video is equally as magnificent. Look at the blue colors when she's singing and the focus is her. The red and orange when it's "him". The red couch in the blue room. The blue hallway with the red light in the doorway framing her. The red blood getting progressively more intense in the bath, which is blue and calm. Every single scene she has a chain attached to her ankles. It's the details that exist in the video that complements the details that the entire band put into their music. Every time I watch the video I see something new, and that's a delight.
Nah fuck that. They're doing it right. Make you want more. I want an album!! Well here's a song that rules. Yeah but a full album would be cool, well here's another song with a cool music video. Keep doing what you're doing Spiritbox.
This is exactly what I'm doing, and at the age of 52, it feels a little odd... but I was just introduced to them a week ago and just heard this song for the first time day before yesterday, and it's like my brain is reconfigured now and can't go back to how it was before. Wow.
Currently recovering from an almost 5-year long relationship that I broke off in November after realizing how abused and manipulated I was for so long. I ended up losing so much of myself in this person, and near the end of our relationship I fell into a spiral and almost self-harmed for the first time in many years. Spiritbox's music has saved me, in a way, and has also helped me come to terms with the fact that the person I thought was my soulmate was really no good for me. Here's to cutting off negative energy and "emotional vampires"!
Wow, I thought I was the only one that just realized that after my 8 year relationship ended, I had lost myself, who I am...I don't even feel connected to my body at times I feel so lost. I can't connect with other people, yet if I try to I feel guilty for unfounded reasons. When I left her I left part of my soul with her and I need it back...or I need to restore myself.
@@UrMomGoes2College I hope you find yourself again 🖤 I like who I am now more than the person I was before and during my relationship. The trauma taught me so much. It’s unfortunate that I had to be put through so much abuse to grow into the person I am today, but I find comfort in knowing I’m actively seeking positive change while my ex is still stuck being the same negative person he always was because he lacks the effort to be introspective. I feel you on not being able to connect with people; it was an issue I had before my relationship and has only been made more difficult due to trauma. I personally hope time, therapy, and making new memories will help me.
My problem with Spiritbox is that I can’t pick a favorite song, they’re all too good! Definitely my favorite video so far. Love that shot of her standing in front of the doorway with the red light!
I just read the lyrics and thought; "Holy shit! This is about depression!" Sure enough, I read an interview where Courtney talks about it being about depression. "I could survive in these chemicals for you." The main reason I went on antidepressants is so my wife could deal with me better.
I have borderline personality disorder. Spiritbox has made me feel less lonely...their lyrics and musical construction perfectly encapsulate what it feels like in my head.
It fits so many mental disorders and broken controlling or co/dependent relationships. I've been in both and felt this kind of depression and anxiety to the point of Scary thoughts OCD not fun. This song definitely conveys all the emotions: darkness, hopelessness, loneliness, desperation, anger, loss of self, doubt, love and hate.
I've not yet survived the malignant narcissist, although she is at least gone from my life. I feel like a vassal state now, like even though she is gone, a quasi-foreign will, her's, the demon's still lives in me and acts itself out through my body. I struggle with autoimmunity, latent psychosis etc. I ended up disabled, although I had a great career prior. I hope death pays me a visit soon, about time. If you read this, and if you believe you're someone God would listen to, then please pray for my death. A good, dignified death.
You guys are identifying with the worst things in life, really. You need to stop grieving about the past and make peace with yourselves. Every single song, there are people sharing their private lives no one cares about (like it and forget it in 3 seconds), identifying their I AM with who they were. It was a situation among a thousand of situations in life. You aren't healthy yet, because you felt the need to bring it up. You didn't heal. I'm not the bad things that happened in my life. I feel like it all happened in some other life that I left behind. I am healed. Even when I watch movies and videos with abusive parents, it literally never occurs to me that I had a life like that, I blocked all that shit from ever coming back. Writing about it I feel literally nothing. I learned from it and implemented it in my life. I'm a wonderful father and a husband, now. Stop mentioning it, let your true self forget it, heal and forgive yourself for holding onto it.
@@johnnybravo437 I don't really care about your opinion. You handle your experience your way and I handle mine my way. That's the beauty of individuality. And truly stop trying to diagnose people as to their healing. I have my own therapist and it isn't you. 😂
Isaiah Hernandez Fading? Lol idk where tf you been but metal scene has been killin in and exploding with amazing bands the past decade, especially the past few years. Just cause it's not in the "mainstream" don't mean shit, it's bigger than ever now. Even lesser known bands are playing sold out shows, just look at Spite's tour.. almost every show has been sold out and them and the bands on there are barely huge.
†HΣ DΣV¡LS ЯΣJΣC† It’s not “mainstream” but too many people give a shit about what bands do in their personal lives like Cj from Lorna Shore and Tim from As I Lay Dying. That makes people stir further away from metal than they already did. Back to the mainstream thing. Metal was making a small comeback for a littler but in 2017-2019. It’s probably just my area but there’s no metalheads here. I’ve been to 3 different school and came across like 2 actual metalheads that aren’t my chemical romance cock suckers. The Idea of metal is most definitely fading. If you ask people what it is, their answers are ignorant and incorrect almost always. And then the elitists are their own puddle of toxicity that is destroying metal. Of course these are my opinions so no one has to agree, I’m just stating my observations of the community from my favorite genre.
I’ve been fighting some heavy depression and anxiety these past few months after a failed engagement and parting ways with a friend due to life differences. Something about this track really does something to my emotions. I feel as close to peace as I’ve felt in a long time. The power of music is unmeasurable. Thank you Spiritbox, I will remain a fan for life.
LaPlante you are so talented. Singing in the first half then just totally decimating us with those screams then to end with singing. My god. Masterclass.
I love how Spiritbox Is bringing so many different people together. Like SB Is br00tal af and yet I show my mom and shes like ooooo das nice! Shout out to the mommies.
OMFG! Yesterday Jinjer published a new video "Retrospection", and today Spiritbox with this awesome! My two favorite metal girls made my week! Courtney and Tatiana are goddesses!
It is like these two bands strive for the top positions in art-metalcore. Hard to pick a favourite. I can't. I love each of both for other reasons. I know that Jinjer are well aware of Spiritbox, in a positive way and I am pretty sure both bands are as excited as we are, whatever comes next. There can never be enough good music. I like how they push the limits. And they do. With highest quality. Never thought that this kind of music could make it to the public this far - and am so pleasantly surprised.
@@imcrazedandconfused I absolutely agree with you! I have known Jinjer since their earliest garage days, when they performed in small local clubs and cafes in Gorlovka (I am Ukrainian and lived there in 2009-2011). And even then it was clear that they rise very, very high, but I could not even imagine that so! I only found out Spiritbox a couple of years ago when I discovered their song “Perennial” in the TH-cam recommendations (thanks to the song of the same name by Jinjer which was released at about the same time) - and for a long time fell in love with Spiritbox and have been watching them relentlessly ... Stay Metal! Peace!
As a "survivor" of an abusive relationship - I get this! Even after ten years it still feels so familiar to me.. In the end I gave up realizing that he would never choose me over alcohol. The hardest thing I ever had to come to terms with. Blessed be Spiritbox ❤️
it's been 17 years for me...I was hooked on heroin and coke....3 years in prison.....it saved my life!! You are not alone brother!! Life is so awesome!!
I AM IN SHOCK. I heard the song this morning and was immediately in love - the melodies throughout are entrancing and haunting, and that breakdown hits like a truck. But this music video took the meaning of the song to a whole new level. I... I actually can't describe how visceral this video is. The film work by Versa is some of their best yet, and the storytelling was so fluent but UNEXPECTED, my jaw dropped when the breakdown hit. This has got to be my favorite music video of yours. To everyone involved: AMAZING job with this project, and I cannot wait to see what 2020 has in store for you guys!!! also please come to Jupiter you guys haven't played here in years
I kinda have the jist, but I'm also still a little lost with the meaning(like I tend to be with Spiritbox songs). What would you say your interpretation is?
@@imcrazedandconfused Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense after a few listens. Like they're feeling trapped in an abusive relationship for the sake of a child or something, is how I was taking it. But also with a whole lot more layers to it, lol.
@@MightBeCale Depression makes relationship very hard to be in balance. I don't really think it is abusive, I think the depressive part often is "pretending" the relationship, while the inner self feels paralyzed or dead. The antidepressant hints are obvious, though. Serotonine/chemicals ... It is good that there is no simple meaning. I mean - this is lyrics, not prosa.
This song really hits home. I felt like I lost myself a few times. I'm not sure how I survived through the chemicals. When she screams "Offer me, I have the heart of a coward," I was honestly forced to relive one of the darkest places of my life.... and it's never felt so beautiful. That was years ago, and life is beautiful now -- So is this band, this song, and this video. Just... Thank you.
I thought she roared "Look at me, I have the heart of a coward" and she has him knifed at the end of the table out of pure frustration at how exploitative, disrespectful and abusive he was. I got chills when I saw that. Great cinematography
The clean vocals are under appreciated. They are so pure and raw and it has this peculiar quality to it that feels like I'm listening to a human, feeling what they feel.
Spiritbox - Blessed Be I say my blessings all for you I feel it fade from the inside I open up to adore you, but everything Was just a crutch to preserve life Serotonin like a loaded gun I am a coward, you pull me up Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me But insecurity And if I lose myself Blessed be, I can survive in these chemicals for you A lonely fool above Just out of reach, I can survive in these chemicals only for you I say my blessings all for you You say blessed be the fool who Plucks out the eyes just to listen to the frequency It's just a crutch to ignore you Serotonin like a loaded gun I am a coward, you pull me up Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me But insecurity And if I lose myself Blessed be, I can survive in these chemicals for you A lonely fool above Just out of reach, I can survive in these chemicals for you Entombed to die In catacombs of restless bones Consumed alive This is my home I'm waiting here for you I say these blessings all for you I say these blessings all for you I say these blessings all for... Offer me I have the heart of a coward Offer me I have the heart of a coward So open up my sternum The only constant is a crutch The only constant that I know
I blame the cheap ass mixing their audio engineer did for making her vocals sound so small in I Wrestled a Bear Once, she sounds so fucking monstrous in Spiritbox
She said the original lead singer in IWABO was one of the leading reasons she started doing heavy vocals. And she ended up replacing her. I think they are good friends.
the band just keeps getting better with every note. i had goosebumps, i gave the ugly breakdown face and bobbed my head.. this is literally everything i love at the same time.
The ambience in the background in the beginning and throughout the first verse very much has a Dayseeker - Sleeptalk vibe. Even the way she does her runs during the chorus is very similar.
this song really hits when the person you love is suffering with depression, anxiety, and un-diagnosed symptoms of bpd - she is currently on meds to stabilize her moods and is helping quite a bit. this song makes me emotional every time i hear it
Hey there. I have BPD. I really hope your loved one gets help. DBT helps me and so weirdly does Spiritbox. The best thing you can do is be there, be strong, and encourage help. Splitting is hell but it's temporary. Improvement can be found, despite what you read online. God bless.
I have BPD myself and while it's very difficult to care for someone that has it, we aren't bad people. Not intentionally. Kindness goes a long way and we do require a lot of reassurance. The guy that said "run" can go shaft himself with a rotten cucumber.
A kid? In Late Stage Capitalism collapse with the total ruination of women's rights to autonomy and a devolvement into authoritarianism? Climate disaster? Meh, screw all of , eh? Just had to have that little MiNi Me, their future be damned, eh?
Hope everyone here is doing okay these days. Please be safe and know that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it at times. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Wish you the best.
I say my blessings all for you I feel it fade from the inside I open up to adore you but everything Was just a crutch to preserve life Serotonin like a loaded gun I am a coward, you pull me up Into a place where there's nothing that left for me But insecurity And if I lose myself Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you A lonely fool above Just out of reach I could survive in these chemicals only for you I say my blessings all for you You say blessed be the fool who Plucks out the eyes just to listen in frequency It's just a crutch to ignore you Serotonin like a loaded gun I am a coward, you pull me up Into a place where there's nothing that left for me But insecurity And if I lose myself Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you A lonely fool above Just out of reach I could survive in these chemicals for you Entombed to die In catacombs of restless bones Consumed alive This is my home, I'm waiting here for you I say these blessings all for you Offer me I have the heart of a coward Offer me I have the heart of a coward So open up my sternum The only constant is a crutch The only blessing that I know And if I lose myself Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you A lonely fool above Just out of reach I could survive in these chemicals for you Entombed to die In catacombs of restless bones Consumed alive This is my home, I'm waiting here for you
Just found these guys at 4am. Completely blown away, feel like the genre has been stale for so long for me personally, this is like a breath of fresh air - love it.
I am today’s years old when I discovered this band. I just read an article about Brent Smith giving them money so they could continue with their music because they had to cancel some tours I believe. I can hear and see exactly why he did that!! Unbelievable I never heard of them until today and now I feel like my life has been for nothing 🤣. Brent Smith you rock sir for showing us how to help our fellow man ! Spirit box, you rock keep it!
Guys. This is.. Unnecessarily excellent. I already love this band enough, why you gotta make it worse with another freakishly fantastic musical masterwork? I have to say, it's unfair to other bands, you know.. Like all of those bands that release acceptable tracks. The fact that you never release merely acceptable tracks is just one reason you're going to skyrocket to the top of everyone's list when they think about stupidly wonderful metal bands. How dare you.. How dare you.. Lol. But seriously though this was awesomeness, keep it up!
This song gave me chills. That's the heaviest breakdown that I've heard in a long time, too. They have never put out a weak song. I am out of superlatives to describe this band so I'm just going to replay this until someone comes up with some new words that I can use.
She’s been in the music scene longer than a lot of people realize. She took over when Krysta left in I wrestled a bear once, and her husband was in that band with her and is in this band with her currently. Mike Stinger.
I feel genuine sorrow for the people who don't know the magic of Spiritbox, but dance in joy knowing they are always there when I need something to put me in a upbeat/positive mood. I can't even articulate my love for this song or the emotions it invokes in me. Thank you Spiritbox for all the times you literally changed my day and all the beautiful moments you've brought to my life 🖤

I feel you on not being able to connect with people; it was an issue I had before my relationship and has only been made more difficult due to trauma. I personally hope time, therapy, and making new memories will help me.
I'm so sorry. Hope you're doing okay these days.
This sounds like they had BPD 😢
My problem with Spiritbox is that I can’t pick a favorite song, they’re all too good! Definitely my favorite video so far. Love that shot of her standing in front of the doorway with the red light!
10:16 ez.
That is a good problem to have though. Love this band!
Why do you need to pick a favorite ?
That frame is the best! She walking toward you and kind of disappearing.
I gotta go with the shot where the baby is playing with the dead father’s carbon monoxide tube, but the whole video is shot beautifully!
Spiritbox's duty to deliver the beauty, and then to administer something so sinister....is unmatched 👻
facts
Rule of 9s
I just read the lyrics and thought; "Holy shit! This is about depression!" Sure enough, I read an interview where Courtney talks about it being about depression. "I could survive in these chemicals for you." The main reason I went on antidepressants is so my wife could deal with me better.
I have borderline personality disorder. Spiritbox has made me feel less lonely...their lyrics and musical construction perfectly encapsulate what it feels like in my head.
This is about rhe show the handsmade tale
It fits so many mental disorders and broken controlling or co/dependent relationships. I've been in both and felt this kind of depression and anxiety to the point of Scary thoughts OCD not fun. This song definitely conveys all the emotions: darkness, hopelessness, loneliness, desperation, anger, loss of self, doubt, love and hate.
@@MiladySK I am a survivor. Blessed Be The Lord Jesus Christ.
This song's chorus has improved my pace for morning runs by so much.
How?
@@hagfromhell9557 ITS A FUCKN BOP
makes me run faster whenever it comes on. :P
@@wren4077 Just make sure you rest between the bursts.
Underrated comment. I owe my resting heart rate to Spiritbox
helps with hiking too!!!
ok... Ive officially been listening to this song for an hour on loop... lol.. they do this to me EVERYTIME!!!!
Edit: 9 hours later.... mhmm, yup.
I'm right there with you bro
me too listen in loop and sleep whit it and also wake up to
oh yes, I know how you guys feelin
I survived abusive relationships. This spoke so much to me. I am on the other side now. Loved and healthy.
Happy for u
I'm so happy for you! Been in the same spot but then i thankfully could get out too, one of the best things ever happened in my life.
I've not yet survived the malignant narcissist, although she is at least gone from my life. I feel like a vassal state now, like even though she is gone, a quasi-foreign will, her's, the demon's still lives in me and acts itself out through my body. I struggle with autoimmunity, latent psychosis etc. I ended up disabled, although I had a great career prior.
I hope death pays me a visit soon, about time. If you read this, and if you believe you're someone God would listen to, then please pray for my death. A good, dignified death.
You guys are identifying with the worst things in life, really. You need to stop grieving about the past and make peace with yourselves. Every single song, there are people sharing their private lives no one cares about (like it and forget it in 3 seconds), identifying their I AM with who they were. It was a situation among a thousand of situations in life. You aren't healthy yet, because you felt the need to bring it up. You didn't heal. I'm not the bad things that happened in my life. I feel like it all happened in some other life that I left behind. I am healed. Even when I watch movies and videos with abusive parents, it literally never occurs to me that I had a life like that, I blocked all that shit from ever coming back. Writing about it I feel literally nothing. I learned from it and implemented it in my life. I'm a wonderful father and a husband, now. Stop mentioning it, let your true self forget it, heal and forgive yourself for holding onto it.
@@johnnybravo437 I don't really care about your opinion. You handle your experience your way and I handle mine my way. That's the beauty of individuality. And truly stop trying to diagnose people as to their healing. I have my own therapist and it isn't you. 😂
Spiritbox is blowing up in 2020. Im calling it now they ARE ABOUT TO GET HUGEEEEEEE
We all know they gonna EXPLODE
Idk man it’s getting harder and harder to blow up with metal fading away as quickly as it is.
Isaiah Hernandez Fading? Lol idk where tf you been but metal scene has been killin in and exploding with amazing bands the past decade, especially the past few years. Just cause it's not in the "mainstream" don't mean shit, it's bigger than ever now. Even lesser known bands are playing sold out shows, just look at Spite's tour.. almost every show has been sold out and them and the bands on there are barely huge.
I hope so. But I have my doubts. They're too hard, and peoples skulls are too thick
†HΣ DΣV¡LS ЯΣJΣC† It’s not “mainstream” but too many people give a shit about what bands do in their personal lives like Cj from Lorna Shore and Tim from As I Lay Dying. That makes people stir further away from metal than they already did. Back to the mainstream thing. Metal was making a small comeback for a littler but in 2017-2019. It’s probably just my area but there’s no metalheads here. I’ve been to 3 different school and came across like 2 actual metalheads that aren’t my chemical romance cock suckers. The Idea of metal is most definitely fading. If you ask people what it is, their answers are ignorant and incorrect almost always. And then the elitists are their own puddle of toxicity that is destroying metal. Of course these are my opinions so no one has to agree, I’m just stating my observations of the community from my favorite genre.
I’ve been fighting some heavy depression and anxiety these past few months after a failed engagement and parting ways with a friend due to life differences. Something about this track really does something to my emotions. I feel as close to peace as I’ve felt in a long time. The power of music is unmeasurable. Thank you Spiritbox, I will remain a fan for life.
Katatonia.. listen
Everything in life is full of lessons, i understand what you mean , you aren’t the only one riding this boat alone.
@@kuhknives29 Thankyou, we are all riding the sinking ship together
I've been through the same and feel the same way
@@ferrenberg metal brothers need to stay strong.
LaPlante you are so talented. Singing in the first half then just totally decimating us with those screams then to end with singing. My god. Masterclass.
I love how Spiritbox Is bringing so many different people together. Like SB Is br00tal af and yet I show my mom and shes like ooooo das nice! Shout out to the mommies.
What did she think of the break down? 👀
I got into them because of my daughter years back - she loved Courtney in IWABO and found SB before I did 😂 (and she was 13 at the time lol)
@@jesk743 Your daughter is a smart gal
@@jesk743 Yeah, your daughter "13 years old years back". You look like 20 in that pic.

OMFG! Yesterday Jinjer published a new video "Retrospection", and today Spiritbox with this awesome!
My two favorite metal girls made my week!
Courtney and Tatiana are goddesses!
yes i feel u it made my week as well
It is like these two bands strive for the top positions in art-metalcore.
Hard to pick a favourite. I can't. I love each of both for other reasons.
I know that Jinjer are well aware of Spiritbox, in a positive way and I am pretty sure both bands are as excited as we are, whatever comes next. There can never be enough good music.
I like how they push the limits. And they do. With highest quality.
Never thought that this kind of music could make it to the public this far - and am so pleasantly surprised.
@@imcrazedandconfused I absolutely agree with you! I have known Jinjer since their earliest garage days, when they performed in small local clubs and cafes in Gorlovka (I am Ukrainian and lived there in 2009-2011). And even then it was clear that they rise very, very high, but I could not even imagine that so!
I only found out Spiritbox a couple of years ago when I discovered their song “Perennial” in the TH-cam recommendations (thanks to the song of the same name by Jinjer which was released at about the same time) - and for a long time fell in love with Spiritbox and have been watching them relentlessly ...
Stay Metal!
Peace!
As a "survivor" of an abusive relationship - I get this! Even after ten years it still feels so familiar to me.. In the end I gave up realizing that he would never choose me over alcohol. The hardest thing I ever had to come to terms with. Blessed be Spiritbox ❤️
Ditto
There are more of us than ppl realize. We are the Phoenix sisters ...
Blessed it be ❤
I've kicked heroin it's been 2 weeks thank you first time I've felt something other than numb for so long
You can do it brudddda!!!!
You've got this bro !!!
it's been 17 years for me...I was hooked on heroin and coke....3 years in prison.....it saved my life!! You are not alone brother!! Life is so awesome!!
Good job bro. Life gets way better.
Keep strong brother.
I AM IN SHOCK. I heard the song this morning and was immediately in love - the melodies throughout are entrancing and haunting, and that breakdown hits like a truck. But this music video took the meaning of the song to a whole new level. I... I actually can't describe how visceral this video is. The film work by Versa is some of their best yet, and the storytelling was so fluent but UNEXPECTED, my jaw dropped when the breakdown hit. This has got to be my favorite music video of yours. To everyone involved: AMAZING job with this project, and I cannot wait to see what 2020 has in store for you guys!!!
also please come to Jupiter you guys haven't played here in years
Song meaning?
I kinda have the jist, but I'm also still a little lost with the meaning(like I tend to be with Spiritbox songs). What would you say your interpretation is?
@@MightBeCale There is a layer of meaning that I interprete as living a relationship while beeing in depression and taking antidepressants.
@@imcrazedandconfused Ah yeah, that makes a lot of sense after a few listens. Like they're feeling trapped in an abusive relationship for the sake of a child or something, is how I was taking it. But also with a whole lot more layers to it, lol.
@@MightBeCale Depression makes relationship very hard to be in balance. I don't really think it is abusive, I think the depressive part often is "pretending" the relationship, while the inner self feels paralyzed or dead. The antidepressant hints are obvious, though. Serotonine/chemicals ...
It is good that there is no simple meaning. I mean - this is lyrics, not prosa.
Voice of an angel...scream of a demon.
This video is insane.
Her Screams aren’t demonic they are just as angelic in my opinion. It’s just talent
This song really hits home. I felt like I lost myself a few times. I'm not sure how I survived through the chemicals. When she screams "Offer me, I have the heart of a coward," I was honestly forced to relive one of the darkest places of my life.... and it's never felt so beautiful. That was years ago, and life is beautiful now -- So is this band, this song, and this video. Just... Thank you.
much love brother
Same. That lyric fucking punches me in the nose. Its hard to explain the feeling when someone so deeply understands you.
I thought she roared "Look at me, I have the heart of a coward" and she has him knifed at the end of the table out of pure frustration at how exploitative, disrespectful and abusive he was. I got chills when I saw that. Great cinematography
0:00 - 2:50 = "Pretty good..."
2:51 "OHH FU--" *mind implodes*
So damn true!
Jesus Christ loves you bros ❤️
I too like my breakdowns to bend the light in my room
I detect a man of class. lol.
The clean vocals are under appreciated. They are so pure and raw and it has this peculiar quality to it that feels like I'm listening to a human, feeling what they feel.
Nah dude she's a vocal monster!
Whaaaaaat a voice!!!!! Her vocal range is phenomenal
Right??? The range is what shocked me too, I did NOT believe it was the same person at the drop :O
Spiritbox - Blessed Be
I say my blessings all for you
I feel it fade from the inside
I open up to adore you, but everything
Was just a crutch to preserve life
Serotonin like a loaded gun
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
And if I lose myself
Blessed be, I can survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above
Just out of reach, I can survive in these chemicals only for you
I say my blessings all for you
You say blessed be the fool who
Plucks out the eyes just to listen to the frequency
It's just a crutch to ignore you
Serotonin like a loaded gun
I am a coward, you pull me up
Into a place where there's nothing that's left for me
But insecurity
And if I lose myself
Blessed be, I can survive in these chemicals for you
A lonely fool above
Just out of reach, I can survive in these chemicals for you
Entombed to die
In catacombs of restless bones
Consumed alive
This is my home
I'm waiting here for you
I say these blessings all for you
I say these blessings all for you
I say these blessings all for...
Offer me
I have the heart of a coward
Offer me
I have the heart of a coward
So open up my sternum
The only constant is a crutch
The only constant that I know
I love you Man, thanks kkkkk

This video does in four minutes what some horror and thriller movies can't do in an hour and a half.
I'm infinitely bummed this song has been slipping under my radar for 4 whole months, this is disproportionately incredible
1.5 milli now!
Try sleeping on this for over a year! Pumped I found this!
Literally had no idea this was the vocalist from I wrestled a bear once. Shes definitely better in Spiritbox.
She also used to be in unicron from bc!
I blame the cheap ass mixing their audio engineer did for making her vocals sound so small in I Wrestled a Bear Once, she sounds so fucking monstrous in Spiritbox
The guitarrist Mike was in the band too.
NO SHIT! That's fucking rad dude. I saw Iwrestledabearonce with Dillinger Escape Plan in Orlando YEARS ago I never would have even recognized her.
She said the original lead singer in IWABO was one of the leading reasons she started doing heavy vocals. And she ended up replacing her. I think they are good friends.
Her transitions from cleans to screams is INSANE. its like going froma disney princess to a full blown massacre in hell XD
the band just keeps getting better with every note. i had goosebumps, i gave the ugly breakdown face and bobbed my head.. this is literally everything i love at the same time.
OOOOOOOOOOH MY FREEEEEAAKING GOD!!!! AWESOME!! BEAUTIFUL. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song has been stuck in my head for days now!!! It probably forever be one my favorites!!!
Chorus gave me that almost melancholic nostalgia feeling for days long gone.
Something about it seems so familiar.. I swear if I've heard something like it in another song
Faithleap Same thing it reminded me From a Michael Jackson song Remember the Time 😉
Maybe some evanescence song. Her tone sound similar.
The ambience in the background in the beginning and throughout the first verse very much has a Dayseeker - Sleeptalk vibe. Even the way she does her runs during the chorus is very similar.
Katatonia
this song really hits when the person you love is suffering with depression, anxiety, and un-diagnosed symptoms of bpd - she is currently on meds to stabilize her moods and is helping quite a bit. this song makes me emotional every time i hear it
Hey there. I have BPD.
I really hope your loved one gets help. DBT helps me and so weirdly does Spiritbox.
The best thing you can do is be there, be strong, and encourage help. Splitting is hell but it's temporary. Improvement can be found, despite what you read online. God bless.
Run
I have BPD myself and while it's very difficult to care for someone that has it, we aren't bad people. Not intentionally. Kindness goes a long way and we do require a lot of reassurance. The guy that said "run" can go shaft himself with a rotten cucumber.
I feel like I need to give a shout out to Courtney as a genius lyricist. Outstanding writing.
This video is better than most horror movies
Wow...what an appropriate comment to describe the amazingness of this video
it screams rural PA
The video is as great as the song. Her voice gives me goosebumps. An amazing talent!
Im 20 weeks pregnant listing to this song with my phone on my belly so my baby girl can enjoy the music ❤
She’s gonna have a good taste in music haha good luck
A kid? In Late Stage Capitalism collapse with the total ruination of women's rights to autonomy and a devolvement into authoritarianism? Climate disaster? Meh, screw all of , eh? Just had to have that little MiNi Me, their future be damned, eh?
The breakdown at the end could double as an atomic weapon.
Iam in tears. Everything from Spiritbox makes my heart collapse. Pure ecstasy.
totally the same for me, everytime!
Yes! Exactly this!
Hope everyone here is doing okay these days. Please be safe and know that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it at times. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Wish you the best.
Her voice is addictive. This is the voice that I am looking for, Pvris but heavier and darker.
2:50 the Spirit Bomb is droPPed!
🔥🔥🔥 🌋👁️🌋🔥🔥🔥
I only can complete my 12 hour shift listening to you guys!
The heaviness of the breakdown caught me off guard. JESUS CHRIST

Finally found the song that was stuck in my head. I was getting mad because I couldn't remember the artist just the chorus
my favourite Spiritbox song by far.
WOOO! Spiritbox is taking over 2020.
Need some of that new merch too. I wear my hat religiously.
I would have loved to see the After The Burial and Spiritbox tour, but like most good music its a European tour...
That pink Spiritbox shirt Is lit af
my spiritbox hat broke after wearing it twice :( wahhhhhhhhh
@@timekeepermedia5142 you're meant to wear it on your head
@@HansenLaMoose did i say i wore it on my ass or something? i'm confused lol
412 people are a little too sensitive for metal, Spiritbox videos are always awesome!
Back before the dislike button got annihilated.
Just found these guys at 4am. Completely blown away, feel like the genre has been stale for so long for me personally, this is like a breath of fresh air - love it.
Out of their entire catalog, there are only 2-3 songs that I can’t thoroughly enjoy. Everything else is TOP NOTCH. Hope you enjoy as much as I have.
Jinjer and Crystal Lake are doing great things with the genre too.
I feel the same. I was actually never big on metalcore, mainly an emo/P-H guy but Spiritbox completely changed the way I feel about the genre
I am today’s years old when I discovered this band. I just read an article about Brent Smith giving them money so they could continue with their music because they had to cancel some tours I believe. I can hear and see exactly why he did that!! Unbelievable I never heard of them until today and now I feel like my life has been for nothing 🤣. Brent Smith you rock sir for showing us how to help our fellow man ! Spirit box, you rock keep it!
Their music is about as refreshing as Gatorade after suffering a C Diff infection
Shout out to that gnarly bass!
My tattoo artist introduced me to Spiritbox during an 8hr session yesterday. Metal up your ass, fellow humans & Canadians🤘🏼

Omg sick music video🤟🏻🤟🏻
I just randomly stumbled on this band and they are fricken amazing.
Here I am as well, saw the lass on AGT and everyone in the comments kept saying stuff about SpiritBox so curiosity brought me here and I haven't left
Courtney’s voice has evolved so much from her iwabo days and I love it
I need to give my wife a hug after this.
I literally cannot get enough of this.
Me neither. If I can see them live before I die then consider my life complete.
Spiritbox just out here being a perfect band. Great video too!
Spiritbox is breathing life into heavy metal
No.this is a pop song. she sings good but there's no denying it has that pop element to it
Invent animate/hollow front
I'm pretty sure 80% of the views was me rolling this on repeat all day
Are there any good songs around?
Spiritbox: HERE
And I am still listening months later, I will continue to come back to this here comment in the future, let's see if time machines work lol
Harper brought me here. Here to stay. Wow.
Guys. This is.. Unnecessarily excellent. I already love this band enough, why you gotta make it worse with another freakishly fantastic musical masterwork? I have to say, it's unfair to other bands, you know.. Like all of those bands that release acceptable tracks. The fact that you never release merely acceptable tracks is just one reason you're going to skyrocket to the top of everyone's list when they think about stupidly wonderful metal bands. How dare you.. How dare you.. Lol. But seriously though this was awesomeness, keep it up!
This song gave me chills. That's the heaviest breakdown that I've heard in a long time, too.
They have never put out a weak song. I am out of superlatives to describe this band so I'm just going to replay this until someone comes up with some new words that I can use.
I'm addicted to this band
She’s been in the music scene longer than a lot of people realize. She took over when Krysta left in I wrestled a bear once, and her husband was in that band with her and is in this band with her currently. Mike Stinger.
Stringer-
Goddamn that chorus is so catchy, was NOT expecting that breakdown either. So damn heavy!
Took a chance, loved the name, love Blessed Be,,,!,,,,,, not disappointed! You rock!,,,,
Question: "What is your favorite song by Spiritbox?"
Me: "Yes"
I feel genuine sorrow for the people who don't know the magic of Spiritbox, but dance in joy knowing they are always there when I need something to put me in a upbeat/positive mood. I can't even articulate my love for this song or the emotions it invokes in me.
Thank you Spiritbox for all the times you literally changed my day and all the beautiful moments you've brought to my life 🖤
whoever wrote this song is a genius if you really analyze what shes saying. Amazing talent. Brings tears to my eyes everytime.
Damn...this album is going to be special.
Its just a single...BUT we need a full length from these guys for true
This is the best Spiritbox song. Who agrees?
This and Rule of Nines are the best songs yeah.
TOTALLY AGREE!!
