At 30 years old, I've just gotten the courage to tell my family (uncles, aunts, and cousins) about the psychological and verbal abuse that my mother have been doing to me since I was a child... And I've only received a bunch of accusations and insults from them (good thing that the support from my friends, and my partner's family has been near overwhelming!). This song sums up pretty much how I feel about the whole experience. I'll never be one of them again, only the first of me. ; b
^ i think every artist relates to that. people say that miley cyrus will be the next britney spears, jessie j the next lady gaga, lady gaga the next madonna, blah blah, blah. they need sto hut up.
Magnifique groupe de rock,mérite vraiment d'etre connu mondialement,un vrai bonheur pour les oreilles que d'écouter ses musiques,on se laisse transporter par la mélodie,rien a dire,I love. Attend avec impatience de nouvelles musiques,histoire de se plonger de plus en plus dans leur monde . Peace <3 .
No matter what, I always think of Slipknot because of this CD. Is that bad for me? No. Just look where the center of the finger print is. It reminds me of the Slipknot S.
how can you dislike this..this song makes me cry, this song is a master piece people!..anyone who has dreams or forgotten dreams can relate to this..forget about justins or katy perries or whatever..just dont argue and click "like"...Master Piece!
it's true! the last parts has the name of their other songs: good enough, inside of you, if only, born to lead, the first of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is crazy! aren't they just genoius!
@JimmyGr87 Well... it's a bit complicated. I imagined to start it with a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old that wake up in an empty classroom and switch on a floodlight. There are scenes of him holding in his arms a girl... the crowd can understand that they were lovers (sorry for my english, but I'm italian...). Meanwhile, the same boy go down from a bus and walks to his house. When he arrives tell something to his parents and starts crying, but his parents tell him to shut up.
@JimmyGr87 He enters in their room and takes a box from his father's wardrobe. Then he enters in the bathroom for have a shower (but during all this, there are scenes of him in the empty classroom watching the scees of hi wih his girl). He starts crying a lot. At 3:28 he opens the box and inside you cansee there is a gun. Meanwhile the same oy in the empty classroom has started crying silently. At 3:30 the girl in the fim enters in the class.
@JimmyGr87 In the same moment the parents watch themselves beacaue they've heard a strong sound coming from the bathroom. Meanwhile you see that the girl and the boy hug themselves. The parents enter in the bathroom and when they look nto the bath they start screaming. In the same moment, the boy who has the girls in his arms close his eyes and they disappear slowly. In the successive scene you can see the curtain dirty of blood. The guy had shot himself beacuase his girl was dead. Clear?
one of the best song..very motivational...this song is fucking crazy..the meaning is why it is 85% good..the other 15% comes from the song itself ..well that is just me..but i like the meaning far more than the song itself..
The song made me realize that I am not the only man alive who's tried to prove that he's not a sell-out. Not a two-faced liar. A commodity. I'm not like them. I am Me.
Me too, since i want to be a screenwriter (write movies) and all the production companies want is profit, but what about the art of it? who wants that?
This song is utterly amazing. The lyrics resonate through generations and the beauty of the vocals make me tingle. Hoobastank really inspire me to write eloquent, well thought-out lyrics from the heart.
best song EVER !
