This song breaks my heart every single time I hear it. It doesn't matter if I'm in a good place, great mood, smiling... suddenly, I hear it and my heart just sinks because I think of a time where I played this on repeat because it reflected where I was and who I am. That's the mark of a good song and a good band. <3 Staind.
I remember the day this came out, I went out and got it. Listened to the whole album up til this song. I played it three times back to back because I thought it sounded so badass...and it still does. Love this song
Anyone who is a fan of Staind and can relate to their sincere and heartfelt lyrics about the world must check out the band Hurt. You won't regret it, I promise.
Now i question what ya gonna do now that eveything is caught up with you. You believe the the shit you say is true! but everybody is on to you!!! This line describes my ex wife. Hell this song is about her
This song is perfect for your loved one that is a drug addict or just fucked up mentally. The song describes perfectly how all it feels to deal with seeing your loved one like this
I dont know what happened to Staind after their first 2 albums, but they just are not the same. First 2 albums were great, but almost everything after is pretty terrible. We all know that Aaron Lewis is a great singer, but you don't have to sacrifice great music just to show off your vocal chops.
@tylertheguitardude no I haven't. really have not paid too much attention to what staind is doing now a days, but if they have some good songs on a new album I will try to give it a listen.
"Got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends and the tables turn and now your demons are your friends"......Thats a kick ass part of the song!...over all this whole song is good!
@infectionbow his name is Aaron Lewis, that's a name you'll want to remember cause he's going down in history as best vocalist, a lot of people dislike him but me & millions of others love his music.
Love this song. This song, and "reality" take me back to the days when I was escaping reality. I wasn't using a particularly hard drug, but using any substance to escape reality is all part of the same concept. If they produce more albums, I think they should make songs about , "wow, I'm here. I actually made it." and "Wow, look at who I am/what I've done/What I've accomplished/You can love ME??". "So far away"-type songs.
didn't like it at first when i bought the album, but when i sat down to TRY and ENJOY it once more, it grew on me. like most albums that i buy. this song, is definitely a ringer for me.
I got this album the day it came out - May 21st, 2003, (I think) going on seven years ago now - and when I heard this song for the first time I was like that's fuckin' badass, I remember I listened to this song several times in a row to absorb its awesomeness :D
I remember when Break the Cycle came out when I was 10, I think. Of coarse I didn't care much for the lyrics at that age. But ever since then, Staind has been my favorite band! 9 years.
@VELandHPR i disagree they helped me alot when ive been depressed cause it made me feel like i wasnt the only one going through it. felt like someone else understood what i was going through
@DeekenKrossIBW yeah it does help sometimes, but when yur at yur "breaking point" than it could crush yu with the right words.. yah pickin up what im layin downn? lol
I remember hearing them play this song when I saw them in concert, and since I was kinda new to their music, I immediately had to go find it! Such an amazing track! :D
@7cakemomma5 the most songs of Staind are facing the realty I think there´s no person in the world who can´t identify at least with one of Aaron´s lyrics!
I think Chapter V was better than 14 shades of grey in my opinion. I think the album had more variety of both the soft sound of 14 shades of grey, and the hardcore element of Dysfunction.
I agree with you on that but believe is more of a song of hope in my opinion, but I see your point that the pace seems depressing, but yeah this song is so much more intense then believe.
this band is fucking awesome and anyone who isults this album is an ass-fuck. best band ever, great fucking song, great fucking album, and...GREAT FUCKING BAND! PERIOD.
this song is special. i am from the caribbean, and this ong is like worhisp to alot of ppl who are enjoying the sun. this song fucking rocks. big up lucia.!!!
"whats happened to you it's obvious you've change something deep inside you is probably to blame" GENIUS PURE GENIUS LYRICS I love Staind so much for doing what they do
"Must be lonely up there, with your head up in the clouds.
Even though you got there. What does your conscience tell you now?"
"Life remembers everything you do
Your karma has caught up with you"
Just fantastic

chorus]
it's never the same on the way down
how does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
when all of your bridges aren't around
and the sandcastles you built are falling down
you had us all sitting right there in your hand
but you had to fall because that's how this life is
got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends
now the table's turned and now your demons are you freinds
