  • All I have to say is go panhead for being smart enough to put something that would grab everyone's attention and that is funny kudos good sir kudos

  • your all muppets if you think its about god its about a girl

  • at 2:45 to 2:52...the most amazing riff ever xD

  • Favorite song from them !! They rock !!! Thank God for them !!

  • Who gives a flying fuck if they're christian?!??! they fuckin rock!! I dont go to church and im probably going to hell, but these guys play better than most of the death metal satanic bullshit out there. So again....who GIVES A FUCK?!

  • I listened to Skillet and thought they were awesome and I didn`t even know they were Christian until I read the comments on their videos. Just goes to show you that whether they`re Christian, or any other religion, THEY ARE AWESOME!

  • Ok, so, i know that Skillet is a christain band, and i respect that (im an atheist), but why do people always have to shove religous crap down people's throats? Skillet doesn't do that, so why do people try to make other people beilieve in something? why am i even talking about this?! i came here to listen to SKILLET! not to bitch about regligion or atheism, we all should be doing the same thing here!

  • A Day to Remember + (old) Linkin Park = Skillet

  • My obsession is Skillet.

  • Wow Nice Dude! IT's really awesome for a first time!

  • @nicethinx thanx ^_^

  • if you believe in the free masons, and how singers these days are affiliated with them, then this song is about the anti-christ, but as the guy in the top comment says, its interpreted in the way you want it to be. it could be about a dead lover, god, or his fuckin ball sack. :)

  • The band wrote it about god

    But that does not make it the only meaning

    It means what you think it does

    wether it be love, god or something eles

    But we all know its an awsome song :D

  • o.O it could be a song about love as well? lol

  • Can't you just enjoy the song without having to comment anything stupid....

  • 0:12 voice break screaming? ehhh

  • @DanDaMan5286 What are voice break screamings?

  • it could be a song about how obsessed he is over a girl...kinda stalkerish but whatever its a good song...actually what i thought it was about for a while

  • 27 people need 2 die

  • THE GUITAR SOLO IS SO FRICKEN EPIC!!!!!!!

  • 25 Blind People Hit The Dislike Button While Try To Hit The Like Button Like If You Agree.

  • Comment removed

  • I've never heard a song by Skillet that I didn't like. And Ive heard like 10 bazillion of their songs.

  • @LonerVamp999. I totally agree with you that we should know what the artist's meaning is... I just don't need every comment to be about everyone arguing about it. It is about God, but my pov I don't listen to skillet bc they're a Christian band I listen to them bc I like the music and I connect with it on a different level than it being religious.

  • Ok... Seriously can we all just shut up about this being Christian? It's a song and you can take the meaning however you want. It's an amazing song by an amazing band that I love, let's just leave it at :)

  • @funniestgrandmas456 I would think the artist would want the meaning behind the song

    known, otherwise this song would have no meaning. Interpret it how you like, but the meaning

    behind it IS about God.

  • So what's his obsession?

  • 240p.... way to ruin a great song

  • Why do people think that Atheism isn't a religion? It's a theology XD

  • CHANSON DE FOU VIVE SKILLET

    

  • @septo997 some people might not take it lik that im not christian but i love the song

  • I meant to say that there "SHOULDNT" be any confusion in my last post... please forgive me lol.

  • Shut up and listen to the song.

  • @gothiclovesick

    Ps. :D

  • ...is it just me or do they kind of sound similar 2 papa roach here?

  • Dear religious FUCKS

    No one cares if Skillet is a "Christian" band, as it turns out, song meanings are left out for the listeners to decide, every song has a different meaning to different people. Not every song HAS to be about your dearly loved "God".

    That is all.

  • @TheLyricVault how about u fuck off dont insult my religion like that or ill find where you live and beat the shit out of you i dont care if ur on the other side of the world u dont insult christianity u dick

  • @suppur567 That's not very Christian. From one Christian to another, let them talk. We, the chosen, know the truth.

  • @TheLyricVault Yes, it does, ...when it was written by a Christian band to their dearly beloved God.We'd love you to join us in our belief, but if you don't believe, you have the world at your disposal. As for the rest of us Faithful, we only have what we create at the direction of the Holy Spirit for our most sincerely dearly beloved mighty benevolent and long-suffering GOD. :)

  • @thelyricvault yes we will be acepted in to heaven but we are not the chosen ones that is the jews and modern day isriel wich consits of 3 religons basicly islam judism and chrisianity so there are three ways into heaven not just one and we are not as good as we used to be because we are to busy fighting each other to realise that we are pulling the same things the roamans did and it lead to the fall of the roman empire. and when I say islam I don't radical islam but real islam.

  • @KyleABaker12 Islam is anti-Christ. The Dome of the Rock Mosque has a banner carved that reads, "God has no need for a Son." So you tell me if there is a way to Heaven through Islam. And the Jews were veiled from recognizing Christ so that way the Lord could save gentiles, too. Whether they are still chosen is up for debate to this day and only God knows. There is only ONE way into Heaven. And Jesus said its through Him.

  • @Gothiclovesick so when god came to moses and throu out time he has told the jews that THEY are there chosen ones and that THEY WILL be acepted into heaven but acording to your thery the god would have BROKEN his promis to the jews there punish ment for not acepting jesus as the son of god was that they must obey the rulse in the old testament ok do you understand where I'm comeing from now?

  • @Gothiclovesick I'd love to join you in your beliefs, although I am not ignorant enough to believe in something that has more proof against it than for it.

    Good day.

  • @TheLyricVault Look up the Case for Christ. It's by a former atheist. You'll be surprised at what "proof" against Christ becomes under scrutiny. Ignorance is not the appropriate word to use in regards to faith. You have to be educated in the Bible as well as secular studies in history to come to a definitive answer on Christ. And anyway, if you're an atheist, why not try it before you bash it? If you're right there's no God, you win. And if you're wrong, you win. :)

  • @septo997

    Yeah, but who cares?

  • @TheSequeltolife I do.

  • @kylewise14

    Well, for those of us who have different religions or are atheist (like me) don't really want to hear on every one of these videos that they're christian. I just want to listen to this awesome song made by this awesome band.

  • @TheSequeltolife Hi :) my only comment in response to your would be that there is alot of confusion out there of wether or not Skillet is a Christian band (unfortunately) and there should be any confusion, which is why i think a lot of people comment on it being Christian. So just so everyone who reads this post is clear.... Skillet IS IN FACT a christian band. I have been listening to them since 1999 which was about 3-4 years AFTER they started and I can tell you that they are.

  • @biblejc I know that they're a Christian band, and I can see why Christians must be proud for having an awesome band believe in their religion, but it's not like you see on Avril Lavigne's music videos all the time saying 'SHE'S CANADAIAN!!!!!' and things like that. Sometimes I would like to see comments about how awesome the song is, and not their religion. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @panhead234 it does it basicly is talkin about faith and no matter what happens he will remain faithfull and docter pepper? well i guess that shit is pretty good lol

  • @panhead234 I really don't see the Dr. Pepper thing. One, because Christian musicians who call themselves "Christian bands" don't deviate away from praising God. He might use "obsession" as a way to show people artistically how very much he Loves God. And a Christian certainly wouldn't have THIS unhealthy an "obsession" with Dr. Pepper or anything without recognizing that its a demonic attack. He certainly wouldn't praise it in this sense. :) From one Christian to another...

  • @Gothiclovesick excellent point! I see where you are coming from!

  • @panhead234 :)

  • @panhead234 You seriously think he's saying he'll "live and die" for Dr. Pepper, that it's his "only infatuation" that Dr. Pepper has "feet" to kiss... that i can leave him helpless? That it can satisfy his "soul"? You're funny... personification to the extreme.. I think you're "100%" joking, I hope at least. He doesn't say this addiction is terrible, or that he wants to get over it. Next you're gonna say "Better Than Drugs" is about Dr. Pepper....Like I said, I hope you're joking.

  • @FXVG Whoa, hey man, it's a song, no need to repraoch me so much. And you're right, I wasn't 100% certain, I was just wording it that way. I was just posting what I heard.

  • @panhead234 bahaha :) i agree but i must say that thats funny :) and it makes a lotta sense. and dr peppers da best. ya know, skillet= best music dr pepper= best soda :)

  • @panhead234 I'm not a Christian (I'm an atheist) but anyone can clearly tell it's about god. An addiction to Dr. Pepper is the worst interpretation I've ever heard. "Come down to me, don't ever say that it's over. I kiss your feet, worship the air you breathe." Last time I checked Dr. Pepper didn't have feet, & it didn't breathe. Now think about what you just said, doesn't make sense does it? ...Idiot.

  • @TheShorty6124 ok that was a good response but if your athiest or however the hell you spell it, why are you watching this? ...Idiot. (i stole youre ending!) ...Idiot.

  • @1christianforgod ok dude...thats enough. don't bash him for being an atheist...notice how he's an atheist and you used bad language on a Christian song. don't be a hypocrite

  • @TheShorty6124 go and watch John Cooper (Skillet singer) talk about how much he likes Dr. Pepper, then use your head and realize that panhead234 was making a joke. Ignorance isn't becoming of anyone, but especially on the internet

  • @TheShorty6124 You are a complete idiot. Cool it, child. Look up John Cooper and how much he loves Dr. Pepper. Do your research before you type an idiotic comment thinking your smart for doing so.

  • @TheShorty6124 lol dr pepper? who said that, that's hilarious!

  • @TheShorty6124 this band kinda makes the "christian" messages subtle and yet those of us that know the bands backgrounds know what it means and the athiests and other people can still listen and enjoy it. the meaning of the songs can be interpreted as the listener wishes.

  • @TheShorty6124 It's called personification, but if you have to be a d*ck then i guese thats what is gonna happen. Who are you to shun someone elses interpretation? For all you know it is about his addiction to Dr. Pepper. Maybe he is praying for forgiveness. You didn't write the song, so his opinion is as valid as anyone elses.

  • @TheShorty6124 Sereosly dude God is the only one that can protect you , yea maby there are times that are bad but hey how said being a Christian is easy really if someone said that I want to meet that person and secondly what is this Dr.Pepper ??????? o yea and thirdly go read the bibel but begin with the New Testement !!!!!!!!

  • @panhead234 I go looking through all of these idiodic comments talking about how "Dr. pepper isn't what he is talking about" and "My d*ck's bigger than yours", i finally get to the promise land, the holy grail if you will (your comment) AND YOU F*CKING REMOVED IT. I, sir, am disapoint.

  • Bible=Absolute

    Absolute=Fact

    Fact=Truth

    So how do you say that you are saying goodbye to the Bible in search of "truth"??? Great song, by the by...fits me perfectly!

  • don't say wow haha they don't like this song or man they are losers or they dont have a absession its Not what GOD would want

  • this album is pure gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How could u dislike Skillet?

  • im obsessed with truth, so long bible! love the song though!

  • Each person has their own interpretation of this song. Leave them be. A song is a song.

  • @rhftw Nooo they should'nt how messed up would the world be if we all twisted awesome songs for whatever stupid reason we felt like??? What would be the point of songs anyway???

  • this is what it's all about, singing to God not about him.

  • I prefer to think it is tal

    king about drugs or a whore... but everybody knows this is christian xDDDDDDD

    Ps: Still Great

  • I love this song + my mom won't let me listen to anything non christian kinda sucks if you ask me :P but this band is still great

  • @Skateking1449 My mom doesn't care what I listen to as long as I don't burn anything down.

  • if everything went johns way this song would be about dr. pepper!

  • thumbs up if you agree ---v

  • lol my cuz just found this singer and he was tellin me how he can find better songs than me rather than christain songs... this is wat i said ( srry to break it to ya but hes a christain singer) lol he wanted me to prove it it took me over 10 web sites to convice 'im there are good christain songs there not just slow one lol there is skillet :P

  • Sorry I ment christen

  • BlueAngelBlude trust me it's about GOD their a Christen Punk rock band

  • So EPIC now I can show my friends at church and youth group :D ty

  • @septo997

    Its a shame his obsession is fake then.

  • My favorite song from this album. And damn. I do. not. give. a. FUCK. if they are a christian band, I don't care about their beliefs, or anybody's. it is good music. plain and simple.

  • @coreyhhh THANK YOU!!! I hate people like that

  • @septo997 and Dr. Pepper:)

  • @west590uncut: I dunno yet! Hopefully I won't have to find out too soon. I'm quite of the relationship we're in (been together for over two years now, and still going strong) and I highly doubt we'll be breaking up anytime soon.

  • 240p we meet again -_-

  • 21 dislikes..nice try Justin bieber

  • @vikingsfan96 Get this, Justin Bieber's a christian so he probably liked this song not disliked it.

    Stop hating and leave people alone for once.

  • @kylewise14 ,......MY GOD its just a joke....it meens that he tries to dislike verything so he can get more fans .........ITS CALLED SARCASM!!

  • @vikingsfan96 Hilarious!!!!!

  • @vikingsfan96

    Stop posting about him on videos that have nothing to do with him?

    I hate him enough without seeing all the lame jokes people make about him

    If you don't like him why do you talk about him?

  • @grevious45 wait u have 2 be 13 to have a YouTube account

  • I dedicate this song to my bf cause he's one of my biggest obsessions at the moment *blush*

  • @zeldagirl1234 so then whos gunna be your next obbsession?

  • he says this song is actually about his obsession with dr peeper no joke XD

  • nice for ur first video :D

  • Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Skillet. I just saw them this summer at Creation Fest. I just HATE IT when people come here claiming that they're "metal". Skillet is rock. Metal are bands like Demon Hunter, As I Lay Dying, and Impending Doom. Rock are bands like Skillet, Decemberadio, and DC Talk.

  • @kookoomendez they have experimented with different sonuds like industrial,metal, grunge, techno rock etc

  • Your love, my gift... You go and I will follow! ♥

  • awesome vid... thankx

  • ummm ok ppl i get it some say about god some say about person so what its a song 0_o

  • @BlueAngelabood its whatever you want to be, hes probably talking about god but alot of artists dont say what they mean in their songs... makes it more relatable

  • @BlueAngelabood the song id meant to be what you feel it means to you....to some God to others ppl other stuff =)

  • @BlueAngelabood

    I think he's talking bout earth (live and die in my obsession)

  • @BlueAngelabood pretty much all songs to Skillet is about God or to him

  • @BlueAngelabood Not so what. God isn't something to "so what" about.

  • @BlueAngelabood

    Cause the artist made the song for a purpose and it'd be useless to say you relate to a song if you don't know what it's about. And it's God he's talking about.

  • why do ppl whine bout what other ppl bring up?.....its not that big a deal.

  • @septo997 "your touch, your ways, Leave me dumb without reason,Your love, my cage, My PRISON so pleasing" makes it highly doubtful that this is about God. God doesn't leave you dumb, but wiser.

  • @xeniax70 he is using a medafore. besides he makes u dumb to the things of the world.

  • @greivous45 Skillet is a CHRISTIAN band....but this song can mean anything to different people..but Skillet was getting around that the Lead Singer Can't Live without God,and the rest of the band agreed..so its all about your thinking process...and its METAPHOR...

  • @tora1001 yea srry bout spelling ima frickin 11-yr old.

  • @greivous45 oh Im sorry there Buddy

  • @greivous45 I still used proper grammar when I was eleven and on Youtube. Even though I wasn't supposed to.Ha.

  • @SugarWolf15 lol i am WAY bettr than my former class mates (im homeskooled) but on the internet i rly dont give a dang about grammer but i nail it on reports.

  • Sweet vid. I love this song!! Still dont know how that first scream that really suck made the final cut thought lol he is way better screaming live

  • One word.....EPIC!!!!

  • I love how everyone just assumes that because this is a christian band his obsession is god. I mean damn it people, songs don't have a "single" meaning. This could be a person or anything for that matter. For example everyone i know take this AMAZING band and rather just relates it to a friend or boyfriend or girlfriend.

  • thanks for the epic lyric!!

  • i am atheist, but i love skillet ;P

  • @LaertinhoxD Me too

  • why the hell is cristain beedles up there

  • skillet is my religion

  • 2:30 to 2:45 <3

  • this song's name says something, i DO have an obsession =D of some christian heavy metal that is!!!!! =P

  • @neosapia6 If you wanna hear some christian metal, look up For Today! THAT'S christian metal! :)

  • @TeeTownVideos you heard wasting time by red? cause i put this comment "im wasting time alright, listening to good music"

  • @neosapia6 dude i love Red! Thats a great song too!!!

  • i love his scream

  • i dont know what i missed but the top comments make no since

  • my obsession is Red Tallest from Invader Zim <33333 :p

  • Skillet is great;)

    

  • tihs song....is so awesome...SKILLET keep it up...u are THE band

  • when you listen to this after listening to the newer songs, you'd ask is this really Skillet?!!

  • this song was randomly in my head... awesome song :)

  • 21 peoples is gays hp

  • Music is like candy, you need to through away the rappers.

  • @UnifiedaxxS I think you mean throw. Sorry, I couldn't help but point that out :P

  • @Lost2stars yeah, typo

  • I love how Skillet is a Christian band... but they reach so many different faiths. That's hom music should be. Agreed?

  • This music, i can listen to a billion times than "rap"

  • Check out my video of Skillet including Skillet - "Alien Youth" of Alien Youth Tour 2001 at The Door in Dallas Texas & video footage "Awake & Alive" from Avalanche Tour and 98 other videos of various artists. Thanks!!

  • HANDS DOWN THUMBS UP! BEST ALBUM EVER FROM SKILLEt! NO ONE REALLY KNOWS IT AROUND HERE HAHA THEY LIKE NEW THEM N SHIT

  • anyone else find it funny how theres almost always a religious fight on skillet songs? i mean if u dont gotta be a christian to like their songs and its not like you screaming at someone on youtube is gonna change their way of life.

  • What is wrong with me? I keep getting the impression that this song is from the point of view of a brother with a really unhealthy relationship with his sister. There's nothing to indicate that in the song, but that's the only scenario that comes to mind for some reason.

  • @MoonShadowWolfe His obsession in the song is god.

  • Why are girls so ''i only care about myself'' -.- even when you'd die for them

  • @SSJ1Igor Because, "You would die for them". You put them on a damn pedestal! You have to think higher of yourself before they will think of you AT ALL.

  • @runeldr88 so much contradiction to logic..ehh. immorality. fucked up -.-

    thanks though :)

  • you dont have to be christian to like christain stuff right? because im not christian it didnt work out for me either and i like this band but people are like "uh...your not christian why are you listenign to that band...?"

  • i havent heard 1 bad sing by Skillet. they never will have 1

  • Very nice!:)

  • 793 people have an obsession

  • I used to be a christian but it didnt work for me, i found this band after i turned and i love it. All peoples who are just being arrogant: Give over! Let me enjoy this song! x

  • skillet and skillet songs are my obsession!!!

  • @riku3323 because we can listen to what ever the hell we want bitch go fuck your mum

  • @riku3323 i am a conservative christian, and some of my best friends are democrats, atheists, and both. so how 'bout you get a life and stop being so arrogant

  • @riku3323 umm excuse me but being a christian isn't about being arrogant. if people don't agree with your beliefs, then that is up to them. you do not have to be a Christian to enjoy this. i enjoy listening to rap music, but the morals in those songs are horrible. i dont follow those morals, but i still listen to that music occasionally. and get a life? that was a bit rude. also, you can associate with people and things that dont have the same beliefs as you.

  • @mrfakegods ... Praying for u

  • Skillet 4ever

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAA skillet! <3
