I'm a new JEW fan. I've loved them for nearly 2 years now, but had never seen this video before. Somehow, it gives a new dimension to the song. I love it
@floatedimage and all those who said @floatedimage: opinions are opinions but that fact is were all lucky to still be here on this earth...
It's f* crazy how much we complain about the small things that may look like big things to ourselves and we realize later how important or non important they are. The fact is we all live in our own little societies. America is a selfish country. People look at selfish as a negative concept when in reality it is important to survive and be sane..Here
@floatedimage I love how the rest of the world ignorantly, due to pop media, think that every american has everything they could possibly want.
And as far as helping other countries out, how about you all help yourselves out first instead of expecting those that have a little more than you to do it for you? I've been been to most of these countries in Europe...while sure America may have more oppurtunites than most countries, you can't tell me that the rest of the world doesn't have any.
Wow people like floatedImage (All 141 thumbs up) need to mind their business. "Ignorance" is not only found in America, its found everywhere. So Floatedimage, before you start looking at all the defects that America may have, why won't you start looking at your own Problems before criticizing others. No one is perfect we all have our problems.
I really wish I would of listened to Jimmy eat world more when I was in highschool..cause this is exactly how I felt then..kind of now..but I feel as if life is going to get better as I mature. Same with most..but I can't tell others how there going to feel..just let people experience things on there own.
Not our fault, @floatedimage We were born into this. Blame our parents. We are doing what we are told to do. You're being ignorant by not realizing that.
if you dont live in america dont talk about it like you know anything about our culture or being raised here.... I dont live in germany..so I dont talk about how germans,french or whoever feel.. cuz I dont know what its like for them ..
I hate the american culture, its SOOOOO superficial, i hate when i hear a girl says "I hate my life" or "My life is ruined" i can swear 99% of the boys and girls in nigeria who live literaly in a pile of shit, would kill just to live a couple of years like you, dont be so silly, and enjoy your almos perfect life, you dont know the dark side of the world, and youll never know it, shut up
@MrHunterfox you're right that nearly every american lives a thousand times better than a nigerian would. but it's naive to measure yourself with the bottom, while living on top. sure they don't have existencial pressure, but a lot of social pressure. americans were teached that the smallest failure and misdecission at the very beginning, can destroy their entire life. and it isn't useful at all to know that you could live like a god in africa, while living at the usa on the fringe of society...
@Shinji85 "Americans were teached that the smallest failure and misdecission at the very beginning, can destroy their entire life" That is true in some places but I was raised if you fail once try and try again till you succeed, don't be a stereotypist asshole, not all americans were taught that way. And I fucked up my life as it is, I am 20 years old trying to come back from General Anxiety Disorder, I was like this since i was a kid, and I gotta tell you besides school, THIS IS A BITCH
@blaketriksdurst I guess you're right. Not all are that way, but most of them. And not only america, in all industry nations - the "higher" the society, the higher the pressure to participate on it. I knew GAD, my ex-girl got it too - but because of self-pressuring and her fear of failing. And sad for her, she never came back on her feet for herself. Good for you, that you learned how to do the rolypol-toy. Be glad for that.
I really don't care what other think about me in school I'm called "the guy who never talks" like they are saying I'm a questionable guy and people ask me why I don't ever talk I just shrug at them
the popular ppl are just persons that other persons know in a school... where i live that doesnt happen... we are just teenagers and the girl or boy who think that she/he is better than other, is a stupid that we use to ignore (except if u r stupid)...
good song, but american kids need to stop feeling sorry for themselves and realize how lucky they are.
they have everything they could possibly 'want'. they get so wrapped up in vanity, winning, being popular and boosting their ego that they keep pushing themselves into a false sense of what is important. If they come from a lucky country they should spend more time helping others that don't instead of looking bored and sad. america - ignorance due to a pop media obsessed society.
Even people from america can get sad and can feel sorry for themselves, it dosn't matter where your from. That's whats so great and that is what makes every individual unique. Everyone feels something, The us is just promote it better :)
dude i agree with u and im from the states..kids need to grow up and stop bitchin at what they dont have and live for what they do have cuz yes we are very lucky to live in this country that gives so much and yet the country criticizes the goverment just to have somethin to bitch about
@floatedimage you're missing the point. This song is about the anxiety of growing up and being an adult and taking responsibility for yourself. But everyone has angst about that, even people outside the states
@floatedimage but in all fairness, most of us americans havent lived in a less privelidged country so we dont have anything else to compare it to realistically. And everyone has to have their problems, we just have different ones man
@floatedimage well yeah on the other hand the teenage American melancholy is what generated this genre of music. Emotive rock did not come out of Afghanistan or Switzerland precisely because those teenagers "have realized how lucky they are"- so call the american teenagers ignorant but i got news for you people who are really happy all the time dont write songs like this.
we do get many things we do want but we still are hurting inside no matter what our social status is. im in high school i have a lotta great things but i still find myself being fairly unhappy due to other people my age people really dont value the right things, im nice but just okay looking but being nice isnt good enough. we've all got problems no matter what age, social status, or economic class.
@skatr1234 i agree with you. your always trying to find that one thing to make you happy. eg. i cant wait till i turn 16 to drive a car. once your turn 16 you cant wait to turn 18 and move out. then its 21 to drink and so on. you wont ever be satisfied untill you realise untill you are content with who you are, not your things
@Crazyrandomcrazy thats why i have always felt that the best way to feel better about your problems is to help someone else with theirs, For me its like a healing process
@floatedimage every kid wants to be accepted by their friends. if you think about it most the things people do is to better their image not for themselves, but for others. thats not how it should be. you need to learn how to help yourself before you start trying to help others. ignorance is bliss
@floatedimage You can lump a giant group of people into one generalized idea. America does have a high amount of "lucky" people yes... but we weren't all so lucky.. but you can still find the beaten and abused, the poor and hungry, the misguided youths that aren't sulking for attention by the media.. some of us are sad because we have to be surrounded by the fortunate and have nothing ourselves
I believe floatedimage was referencing the teens in the video, they certainly do not seem to be Americans who do not go without food everyday but look more like middle class American teenagers.
If you are able to eat food everyday, count yourself lucky because large parts of the world can't. Though problems such as abusive parents and such are different and harder to cure.
You have NO idea what your saying. I'm from Chicago but have lived in Austria for two years and life in Europe (EU countries anyways) is WAY easier than in America. You have to understand that in America 45-60 hour work weeks, 2 weeks vaca is normal to most people and little to no social benefits. Its not at all like you see on the news. I come from a pretty well off family and I can tell you education, working and vacation time is all better spent in Europe!
@floatedimage Keep in mind generalizations can, by definition, never be accurate. There are always good people. I live my life every day, and am always comforted by the knowledge that there are those out there who care. There are those who do what is right, who do not follow the groove set by small-minded people. It is as the saying goes: Poor minds talk about people, average minds talk about events, great minds talk about ideas. There is always hope for good.
@floatedimage Not as lucky as their parents were--the rest of the world is quickly catching up to America. Its "privilege" is surely vanishing. I for one think Europe has it better than US in many ways.
American kids need to work harder than ever before
All that is true, but it's hardly their fault. The society is built around them pushing themselves. if they don't, they're looked down upon by their family. Although the parents tell you to help out others, the way society is established, you should look out for yourself, and only once you're in a position of strength, should you help out people who need it.
So while they should do such, it's an issue with the society, and not with the kids

i see where you are coming from but what is sounds like is that since we come from America its so great that we have to be invincible to every thing else. but we are only human and that is are culture.
@floatedimage what you say is true but feelings are feelings. we dont choose to feel sad it just happens. but i would love to help people and if i am rich when im older i plan to help the world as much as possible.
@floatedimage This was my graduation year. Honestly, I think how lucky I was BACK THEN and look at my life TODAY. Back then wasn't all that great, today is worse. Sometimes you want to hold onto your past and can't let it go because what's going on NOW is just horrible. That's how I feel. By the way walking to school in a Wisconsin winter is like walking thru an arctic winter storm
I agree with your views in general but not in the context of this song. This song is about the feeling's of youth and wondering about your future and wanting better for yourself while questioning where you currently are and where you want to be. There's nothing in here about prom or being popular.
You choose your sorrows long before they befall you. Same goes for your joys. What ever you do now will effect what your future is so just try your best. That way youll never wonder about the what if's.
trust in your self and you will be fine work to the best of your abbility and accept life as it comes your not the only one wo feals this way thats life take it one step at a time and you will be fine
the fact that you're scare that you might fail will prolly hold you back from making the right decision at a lot of points in life.. get over it, get confident. you started out with nothing, everything you get from when you where a baby is more than you had to begin with,.
You should listen to Ali in the jungle by The Hours its a good song..what you said reminded me of this song....its more indie but the lyrics are great and its a really good song.
Beautiful video for a beautiful song, though it's very emotional too. I'm in college now and the mantra "get out of this place while we still have time" is as true as ever.
its about a lot of things really you can draw your own conclusions but to me its about relationships and growing up and moving on. he starts doubting it (possibly workmate) then the early stages of dating then a fight/disagreement at the end. Throughout the song keeps singing he wants to get out of the town while he can (btw im siddif88's alt account)
This song gives me a lump in my throat......about my painful teenage....anger, hate, no love, confusion, frustration, abandonment, isolation, boredom, disinterest.......all comes out......Time's the healer...
i dont work hard, and im paying for it. im about to fail out of school. yet i feel ok. ive always felt alright not doing enough. i know im gonna pay for it in the future yet my emotions dont change. i think i need to spend some time on the streets.
sadly i am the same way i am in my senior year and i am over a year behind in credits i am in a credit recovery school now and i am paying now for my horrible choices earlier in my high school career yet i retain my laid back indifferent attitude yet i want to go to college but at the same time i could care less if i don't

@floatedimage 1st off dont generalize american kids. They're not just american and they're not just kids. They're PEOPLE.
Young people at that, who dont know what they want in life. There may be many opportunities in America like u say but thats not what its about it.
Its about realizing if those opportunities are the right ones for you. Its about finding out who u are once society tells u ur an adult.
Not all American youth is obsessed with their image. Thats ignorant on ur part.

the fact that you're scare that you might fail will prolly hold you back from making the right decision at a lot of points in life.. get over it, get confident. you started out with nothing, everything you get from when you where a baby is more than you had to begin with,.

Its not about what your going to be when your grow up. Its about who are you becoming.
Success isn't marked by worldly things, but the life that you have lived, and the kind of person you have been.

Beautiful video for a beautiful song, though it's very emotional too. I'm in college now and the mantra "get out of this place while we still have time" is as true as ever.

F4LL3NSKAT3R27 2 years ago
its about a lot of things really you can draw your own conclusions but to me its about relationships and growing up and moving on. he starts doubting it (possibly workmate) then the early stages of dating then a fight/disagreement at the end. Throughout the song keeps singing he wants to get out of the town while he can (btw im siddif88's alt account)
