  • The only thing I dont like about this video is people don't know when to shut up and not repling to someone's comment harshly when it's about religion seriously guy's grow up and if your thinking off saying something not positive about someone else don't write it at all

  • i think this would be the best hunger games rebellion song

  • omg get over it skillet is a gospel rock band. i agree you should keep your religion to yourself unless you want to hear about it or your just trying to tell the word. but really it hasnt stoppeed anyone else has it -_-

  • thumbs up if you are forgiven!!

    this is almost my favorite song... but it is my favorite song by skillet

  • I love this song i kant tell how much i loves this song

  • This is my favorit song that reminds me about som sad moments it also reminds me about my old friends that i miss so much and wen i have my grates times. i just love this song its my favorit

  • I love the song, but the dude in the pic still gives me the creeps...

  • you have forgiven XDD

  • nice song

    

  • Comments on skillet videos piss me off, i don't know why some people have a problem

    with others making comments about God.

  • One of the Greatest Touching Songs I've ever heard on my life!!!!!<3333

  • As a Catholic, I can definitely see how this song can be out into a religious context. However, as a boyfriend, I practically consider this one of our theme songs. We may have fought, but did we separate because of it? No. We forgave, and we learned. We changed so that those mistakes and fights wouldn't be repeated. I've never been happier in my life.

    So can it be about God? Yes. Does it have to be? Not at all.

  • han är bög (in swedish -> he is fag [gay]).

  • @Mongomasake123 lite å finne på? ikke døm noen du ikke kjenner.

  • @Mongomasake123

    Han är kristen.

    Inte Bög...

    Fan vad alla måste hata dom bara för dom är kristna -.-

    In english

    He is Christian.

    Not gay.

    Dammit how many have to hate them because there christian -.-

  • honestly when i listen to there music i don't go "oh this lyric is about religion" i just listen to to the music bc i love it <3 :)

  • สุดยอด!! 

  • well,,just think its about true love,,and you'll get over it!!xD

  • cool

    

  • when i listen to this song it makes me sad because i think of all the people ive never frogiven and regret it everyday of my life.

  • @208bree It's never too late to forgive them

  • Love it.............

  • tis is about the 874363853268 times iv listenin to this song and i was just like " ohhh waiiittt this is about god....heh..."

  • 7 people haven't been forgiven.

  • @lolzman161

    We're all forgiven.

    You are too

  • John Cooper did say "this is the most overtly Christian song on the album". As a Christian that's what I get from it, but to see a Christian band like Skillet, who has been doing this forever, to cross over to the mainstream then I say let people think what they want. The songs are positive and hopeful and whether you're religious or not, that's a good thing and that's what matters.

  • I don't get all the fuss about religion...just listen to the music and don't worry about it...

  • @oyveyyyy Totally agree.

  • 7 people haven't been forgiven.

  • You are Forgiven, now I am Awake and Alive. ...What about my Comatose? Now your a Monster. Now I'm hearing Whispers In The Dark. I Need A Hero...

  • I love this song!!

    

  • i keep wondering if this about a girlfriend/boyfriend or about God...-.-

  • Simply-i love this.

  • i swear i don't see the christian influence in their music but that is my interpretation this song could have been written to say he cheated on a girl and should religion really matter, if you like the song listen to it if you don't then don't complain just leave

  • @animefreak0975 Listen to their earlier songs like Saturn, Whispers in the Dark, Your name is holy, etc

  • every one of there songs i "click" and i like .. their a blessing keep praising God <3

  • i am christian and a strong one too....now shut the fuck up and listin to the music C:

  • Personally I'm not religious at all, but I'm fine with people having their beliefs. It's just ruining it for me keep being told "every song a christian rock band sings is about how much God loves you and nothing else"..I think everybody should interpret the meanings of those songs for themselves and for me as a "non-believer" this song is just not about God ..

  • @oOSabbyOo I personally hate it that everyone feels the need to point out that they are a christian rock band... I mean, who cares... its like Skillet may as well be aliens from mars doing something weird and everyone wants to point and watch.

  • @Bludhoundz8 They present themselves as a "christian rockband", so why wouldn't people say they are? And I didn't mean to make anything weird out of being christian or whatever. All I'm saying is I don't like people telling me that a song (no matter of which band) can only have one meaning.

  • @oOSabbyOo oh my gosh THANK YOU. I have a friend who's always saying how i like a christian band and all they sing about is jesus and god and what not, its extremely annoying...im glad there someone else who understands like i do what skillet is actually like!

  • @oOSabbyOo i am a believer and i find this song as a god make-up song, i wish my ex would think the same lol

  • @oOSabbyOo That is the intended meaning. You can interpret it differently if you want I guess, but the point that people are trying to make is that the songs were written religiously, and whatever interpretation you make is not the one that the band intended. I have no problem with it, as long as people agree with the fact that it is intended v. derived meanings, and it technically is up to the individual to decide.

  • @oOSabbyOo Its about being forgiven... Being "Forgiven" can have multiple meanings;

    Such as, Someone either saying or doing something They didn't mean. How this applies to God You ask? It can; and it does, but like I said it Can mean Multiple Things. The main impression I get when I listen to this song is its about God. At 2:17 in the song John Cooper Sings:

    "I get down on My knees, feel You're love wash over Me. There will never be another, Your the only one forever." Very powerful stuff, GB.

  • @oOSabbyOo ikr im actually religous but when i first heard this band i didnt even know they were a christian band becuase, yea, some of there songs Are about god, but some of them arent. but yea they are awsome

  • I seriously dont understand why the fuck every song of Skillet has something to do with religion..

  • @dRdProdz because they're a CHRISTIAN band. although, that doesn't necessarily mean they are talking about religion specifically. use it for your own interpretations.

  • Who cares about Religion... just listen to the Amazing Music.

  • @TheDeathag Amazing? I think you're oversimplifying it

  • thumbs up if 7 people wont be forgiven

  • @23thehardys naah

  • hiiii!!!!!!!!

  • This song has the best beginning!

  • hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @pskunk13 hiiiiiiiii

  • me and my girl friend have been having a lot of trouble recently because of the way i've been acting, i just wish i could show her this song to show her that i do love her :(

  • song sucks at 3:39 on

    epic from 0:00 to 3:39

    epicest from 0:06 to 3:39

  • still a good song though

  • WHY SHOULD I FORGIVE, MY BROTHERS BULLY ME EVERYDAY!!!!!! I have to say I need eve drops to have an excuse for crying most of the time!!!! plus the people at school....... :_(

  • @ssj2ftw going on despite everything is what makes us strong... life will get better, trust me...

  • @Blacklight308 wow that acually made me feel alittle better thanks

  • @ssj2ftw Forgiveing people makes you the better person.. Getting angry will only makeyou fight fire with fire, makeing more fire. Crying about it hurts. Why should you hurt inside , why should you be upset. Be strong.. show your strength and forgive them. You can do it.

  • @RiRiracheel ........fire with fire huh

    you should meet them you'll hate them,as do i

    i do forgive them but all this is constant

    this is my daily schedule

    come home from school and hope i'm alone at home

    go to my room and lock the door

    thats not very fun to do

  • 5 people are unforgivable :(

  • @xbatootx there not unforgivable they just havent found christ everyones forgivable

  • We listened to this song at youth, and I loved it! I realized no matter who sees you, let go of yourself!! WORSHIP HIS NAME!!! He really has forgiven! I had a long period of time where I was doing things I shouldn't, and I got baptized like a week after that! He loves you, me, even the 5 people that disliked this song! Hey, we can't please everybody! :D

  • I'm as Atheist as it gets and I love this song, and most of Skillet's music. I'm also really sick of people assuming that just because Skillet is Christian, every single one of their songs is about their love for God... kind of ruins the experience for people like me. Music is music, let's keep the preaching to a minimum.

    Plus if this song in particular is about their love for God, they have some serious issues... there's nothing wrong with loving a human being while still loving God -.-"

  • @Eight13 ikr, i feel the same way :P

  • I believe that it doesn't matter how you view the lyrics and meaning of the song and band but the only thing that matters is that if you like the song or not.

  • 4 people need to rethink that dislike

  • 4 people wait i have a life

  • Thats right, you can barely see the dislike bar

  • Im non-religious but everyone EVERYONE can relate to Skillet songs :) thats why i love themmm <3333

  • Why is it that every time I go on a Skillet Video I see people blabbering on about Jesus. I know they're christian. But I listen to Satanic bands Like King Diamond and Mercyful Fate and people dont go on about Satan. I dont care what you believe Im just saying that its kind of annoying.

  • Comment removed

  • WOW this song is excellent, not the same generic christian lyrics, but something old made new : ) wonderful.

  • my uncle walked in on me crying to this song -.-' and i pretended i was having a blinking contest with friends over skype :D !'

  • 3 People Missclicked.

    

  • skillet is one of my favorite bands

  • lets hit 200,000 views by tonight!

  • three people have bad eye sight and clicked the dislike button. That's okay you are "Forgiven" blind people :) lol

  • He has forgiven!!!!! :D <3

  • @Jesusisthelord02 I Love Jesus!

  • Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven. :) <3

  • the Lord doesn't care about religion, he loves us not by religion but by believing in him, if we just believe that he will save us then we are already saved, he protects the believers and guides the non-believers to the road of holiness, the mighty father neither hates us nor despise us but guides us to the rightious path, grieves for our sins, and love us no matter the situation. praise the  Lord almighty

  • @98kazer AMEN dude. amen. as it says in the book of romans, if theres any major choice in life you want to make, its to pick the lord christ jesus.

  • @98kazer Amen to that.:D

  • @98kazer i am christian but i really fucking hate it when people preach. the way i see it is that people will find your religion if they believe in it that's all so preaching is fucking useless

  • @1337foxs yes preaching is useless when you don't believe cuz inside your heart, you haven't accepted the Lord but that can be healed by just praying for forgiveness and with heart and soul, believe in the Lord almighty. AMEN

    (and please when your talking about the God please refrain from useing violent words like "f__k" or something like that, thank you)

  • @98kazer u sir r awesome :)

  • @98kazer What does that have to do with this song? Dude, so now all the sudden you just want to preach on a random music video because you think you are the father of a chruch or whatever. just shut the fuck up dude!!!!

  • @SweetsTricky i didn't say i was a father of a church and you should really pay attention to what you say because words can sometimes hurt more than fists, and i'm only sending some advice that i do not know if it will help or not, i just don't want anyone to go to the wrong path as i did in the past, i lost many precious things in my life 7 years ago that i still regret even today, so say all the things you hate about me and i will still pray that you will be forgiven and be saved by God

  • @98kazer hahahahahaha duuuuude please dont post this stuff random on the internet as a reaction on a music video, its just ridiculous but it made me laugh tho

  • @98kazer AMEN!

    PERFECTLY SAID MY FRIEND!

  • @98kazer and whats that got in common with this song again?

  • @JansydOriginal this song is part rock and part worship, the part worship is where i come in, i want to spread the word of God, i want to make them believe that God is the way to salvation, so if you have read my very first comment, then you should know that whatever religion your in as long as you believe in God then he will come and save you, if you have sinned, as long as you pray to God, he will forgive and save you.

  • @98kazer ok, i'm an atheist, but i'm fine with religion and stuff, so you do your thing and i won't interfere :)

  • @JansydOriginal ok thank you for understanding

  • @98kazer Amen!! :)

  • @98kazer my friend you are wise and smart and right! Amen and god bless you!

  • @98kazer AMEN!!!!!!

  • @98kazer bro that almost made me cry thank you for that comment

  • @98kazer Amen bro, amen

  • its so beautiful c; make me cry. its sad that one without a soul has been here. :(

  • This is the fourth song I ever heard by Skillet. Tonight is my first time listening to them...Why is every song I've tried so addicting???

  • i love skillet they are awesome!!!!!!! i can't belive that some people think that they aren't a christan band and the other thing is that they don't sound like it but when you listen to the lyrics very carefully then you can tell. THEY ARE JUST AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

  • This is like a mix of Lucy and Awake and alive. An epic combo.

  • @Jesusisthelord02 Which is called religion. :)

  • People need to stfu about the 'God' thing. Honestly, im getting pissed off. I don't care if all you people are christian and Skillet is to, I just want to listen to their music because it's good. I'm an atheist, don't get me wrong, im not judging you. I would just prefer if you all shut up and listen to the song!!

  • @TheSequeltolife so listen to the song and enjoy. commenst are down here not up there.

  • I love this song:D

  • 1 MOTHER FUCKER DISLIKED WTF..

  • people listen if you want to be saved just ask Jesus for forgiveness and believe that he is both fully man and God and if you truly mean it your forgiven and saved it was never meant to be hard God made it simple because he loves us enough to do what he did Jesus didn't even want to die it but he did because he loves us so much, so stop trying to work your way to heaven if that's what you've been doing with your life, just truly ask Jesus for forgiveness and trust in him and you'll be saved

  • Skillet make awesome songs!

  • <3

  • Who cares what religion you are, God loves us all

  • EVERYONE! Christianity is all these things. Religion. Relationship. But most importantly its a way of life. And we are bound by the rules because those that love Him will follow his teachings. The law isn't what gets us into heaven. It is by His blood but to know Him is to follow His teachings and take up our crosses daily. Our lives should be an example, salt and light in the world. :)

  • there is 592 thumbs up and only one thumb down :) it's one too much :D Blessed be your name Jesus!

  • @Jesusisthelord02 Yeah i figured that out. I'm not stupid. I live by the Bible. Whatever it says is what I believe. Not anything else. Not culturally.

  • @Jesusisthelord02 What you are saying is not what real religion is, mate. And the real definition of religion is: the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance. I'm not trying to argue with you. But you are speaking lies that tear apart the Christian faith.

  • @Jesusisthelord02 WE aren't supposed to compare other religions to Christianity. The worlds perspective can be false

  • @Jesusisthelord02 no, you are misunderstood. I am religious because of God's mission living through me in my relationship. I know this. You aren't gonna change my mind

  • @Jesusisthelord02 sorry, mate but Christianity is a religion. The Bible says so. "Religion that God our father accepts is looking after widows and orphans in their time of distress." But of course it is a relationship. its a religion: a belief of how the world came to be, about the relationship God wanted with us.

  • Be prepared Jesus is coming it's not too late!

  • Who cares if they're a Christian band?! They are the best Christian band I have ever listened to!!!!! :D

  • R.I.P replay button........... HELLO EPIC BUTTON!

  • @AngelOfDeath3o6 u know why did you say OMG if that is directing to god in the commandments it says thou will not use the lords name in vain people if you love god STOP SAYING OMG ITS NOT RIGHT.

  • @RockStar123777 you just named the most EPIC bands of all time :D

  • the begining is like "reqium for a dream" 0:00 - 0:04

  • this song whenever im upset or hurt i listen to this song and i feel so much better it makes me feel better about myself... its my one favorite song

  • 1 person thinks the dislike button is the download button.

  • I remember crying my eyes out to this song in my basement one night. I had been running from God, I just didn't feel like He could love me, and this song hit me so hard. I know He loves me, and He loves my satanist father, and he loves my atheist mother. He's so amazing! To be honest, I started tearing up while typing this. For those of you who don't think God can love you because of what you've done, you're so wrong. God makes beauties out of the broken. I know from experience.

  • he forgivs all, but i still feel gulty of my sins

  • @thefifthteen Thats the devil. That old dragon will do anything to keep you condemned but Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Remember that Hebrews 10:17 says He's forgotten our sins whenever we confess them. 1 John 1:9 says the same. Hebrews 13:5 says He'll never leave or forsake us.

  • Skillet restored my faith in God. There was a time when I denied Him, but their music helped me open my eyes - this song in particular with the lines "All the promises and lies/All the times I've compromised/All the times you were denied/You have forgiven". God bless you, Skillet, and if you can help others like you did me, then that is truly the mark of an amazing band! ♥

  • 1 PERSON IS DEAF !!!
