Atreyu - The Theft Official Music Video High Quality by 0mitchrocks0

[schwarzeTee]

I almost start crying everytime I watch this video...

[tuguimful]

cool man

[presidentofspaghetti]

This is their best song by far.

[drummerman8397]

Brandon Saller YOUR SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!!!!!!

[revolutionary17]

what does this song mean?

[ACamper1993]

@revolutionary17 Check my two latest comments.

[kelson12345]

@revolutionary17 oh, you know.

[HairFIip]

My girlfriend first showed me this song in 2007. I liked it so much, I stopped making out with her and just laid there until the song ended... then I put it on repeat and laid there for another 20 minutes.

[ItsBearHuntingSeason]

Best band ever in my opinion.. Cried when I heard about the "indefinite hiatus"

[reddhawkk]

This song and video always make me cry. "I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter i'll stay here as long as you let me. Decision's been made obvious, so i will return where i started, i'll stay here........unfinished, i'll wither away..."

[taaylooor14]

What does "a thousand black flowers explode into butterflies as they're away" mean? It sounds beautiful I just don't get it...

[cleavage033]

@7thDayofGrace good explanation

[7thDayofGrace]

Dreams stolen and forgotten. A man is born into wealth and does his best at life but he's not satisfied because he is forced into society. and he wastes his life. because he's not getting to do what he wanted to do and at the end of his life he finds his shattered dreams. but the sad part is now that he has remembered, his life is over. This is the theft.

[MrRebelIious]

@7thDayofGrace Beautiful explanation.

[ACamper1993]

@7thDayofGrace I agree completely. ya know its not even just wealth at this point, i mean, its the same way about everyone. We are all just kinda thrown into the world, and we all forget about our dreams, it is too often that we find people not chasing what we believe in and this song describes perfectly so it was all stolen from us.

[fckinbossin64]

i think it's the kid from ape dos mil.

[DaystoChange]

anyone notice the microphones the band use go from vintage to modern as the kid ages. i thought that was pretty cool

[SoccerLogan]

i don't quite get what the videos about but i like it

[Milliamz]

@SoccerLogan Its about the leads singers battle against alcoholism. Well at least that's what the song is about so I'm guessing that's what the video is representing

[DaiGurrenBanana]

-sighs- cursed 2 be alone 4ever

[iknowhowtobenerd]

Epic

[macattack181]

@Purehardrock910 they said they where taking a break for alittle while so they can catch up with there families because they where always touring but I'm sure they'll be back together

[aceking007]

Thats my funeral song <3

[xixi170690]

Whaaaaaat Atreyu broke up????? Are you kidding?

[PureHardRock910]

@xixi170690 Technically "hiatus" but sadly so far ive seen no signs of them getting together and making a new album anytime soon :(

[P0P357UR3]

@PureHardRock910 No offence to them or anyone who's likes their new albums, but after Deathgrip on Yesterday, they went down hill... So I'm glad they called it a day.

[burblx]

@P0P357UR3 did you listen to congregation of the damned? it's much better than lead sails paper anchor. the latter was either experimentation or a shot at the pop charts; either way, it was kinda shit. the former sounds much more like death grip.

[P0P357UR3]

@burblx I kinda did, I listened to 3 songs I think but didn't take to them

[upendo555]

@xixi170690 Alex said the band would take a long break after those eleven years to follow with side projects

[char0char0]

Love love LOVE this song!!!!

[catdogdora1]

i love this song so much. its too bad that they broke up

[xcat7]

@systamatics you are not human and do not deserve to live.

[axlkeating]

love this song!

[Ducttapesquirrel]

I always get a sad and happy feeling watching the video, its a weird sensation haha

[rebekahp42]

jaqui!

[captaincripahoy]

i didnt know will sasso was there drummer

[DeiDeiDannaUn]

my friend was right. fantastic video. the song was lovely, too. just amazing all together.

[LeGiTHiTmArK3Rz]

favorite song from them

[tkmaster17]

This video is like Citizen Kane!

[destroyer4925]

Really I enjoy beef jerky and slim jims

[BiohazardCola]

I occasionally enjoy cocaine.

[DaveNorris666]

@BiohazardCola I occasionally enjoy coconut.

[wowtheresparcmac]

what about the little bird thing, whats that have to do with it. it seems key. and the dance/dinner part i just dont get it. but thanks

[wowtheresparcmac]

i dont get it, please explain i like the song but video dont make sence.

[TheTattooChef]

@wowtheresparcmac My interpretation of it is that The Theft refers to the theft of his youth and overall life, then he dies at the end and goes to heaven where hes back in the field.

[ACamper1993]

@wowtheresparcmac the video is about how the chilod was born into wealth so that he never could enjoy the little things, or chase his dream to fly. ya know. and then he inherits his fathers company and suh and just gets thrown into society, still not being able to follow his passion, his dreams. and then, when he is older and his life is almost over, he realizes that it has all been taken away from him, and that my friend, is The Theft.

[inanekillabee]

@ACamper1993 well said

[awzumeguido]

This looks like a video Robby Starbuck would direct

[systamatics]

i bet justin bieber can cover it way much better

[QwertySTT]

@systamatics shut the fuck up.

[systamatics]

@QwertySTT

[StubbornEskimo]

The cover art for A Death-Grip On Yesterday on iTunes brought me here.

And I love this song!

[monky1r]

This visor makes me think alot of the shit I've done.... It's a cool song

[westolefire]

Amazing band. If you like Atreyu, check out We Stole Fire :-)

[ronnie66633]

last good atreyu album then they said fuck it lets start letting the drummer sing all the songs lol still love em

[VonBrendis]

This song makes me look at what my life has become

[ItsBearHuntingSeason]

Really makes you think about e decisions you make in your life and how they will effect the rest of your life...

[xChristianMetalheaDx]

This is proof that metal can be beautiful

[linealind]

What a wunderful song :)

[OiHereticX]

one of my favorites

[GuitarsRgood]

the kid looks like the boy from the Stuart Little movie

[SwsMakesMeSmile]

Only song I can listen to by them.

[doom3rulz]

This video is so sad

[jappy87]

This video is awesome and make you think how our life is short... 

[Area51Taren]

Hmm, one thing i have in common with the young boy, adult, and the old man. This is the Theme song for my life too xD

[MusicLives209]

were can i download this song for free?

[six6gunns]

flagged for being gay as fuck

[wwe2dragon]

@six6gunns You've been flagged spam because you TRIED to call something epic gay. Even though you're gay you're damn self

[six6gunns]

@wwe2dragon shared youtube account but my brother was correct.

[jerryjm2]

the last great atreyu song i cant listen to any of their albums past a death grip on yesterday

[ValentinaPrincessa]

This is a beautiful song, and its so true. Nowadays, its so easy to lose oneself in our goals and pettyness.

[ShakeToTheJunt]

is that the kid from stuart little?

[coolzguy1]

@ShakeToTheJunt

You do realise Stuart Little came out 10 years before this music video was made, right?

[ShakeToTheJunt]

@coolzguy1

Well i meant to say it looks like him

[ValentinaPrincessa]

@ShakeToTheJunt Im pretty sure that Johnathon Lipnicki was in his early teens and out of show business when this vid was made

[ShakeToTheJunt]

@ValentinaPrincessa

did i not just say "i meant it looks like him"?

[ValentinaPrincessa]

@ShakeToTheJunt Sorry... I have a habit of reading things wrong...

[ShakeToTheJunt]

@ValentinaPrincessa

good job on quickly looking up his name on google, you get a cookie.

[ValentinaPrincessa]

@ShakeToTheJunt I didnt look it up. He lives down the street from me. I don't know him very well, just that he's in a band and he's generally a good kid.

[jerryjm2]

@ShakeToTheJunt yeah he hasnt aged a bit huh?

[cl0wn1cula]

amazing just amazing years pass by so fast

[allyssaomg]

lovelovelove this song so muchh.

[CaliforniaNugg420]

How could this song get 16 thumbs down? Every single person has been through what this song is about in someway. Im glad Atreyu made this song

[heritic546]

@CaliforniaNugg420 has been and will go through*

[XDiaxosX]

Nice song, its one of my faves, looking forward to next europe tour...

[19KayKay87]

the newest shit from germany!! "cocoon" with theire video to "kelly hell" go check it out...

[napoleon950]

this'll be my wedding music... well... now thats clear... let's find a bride who likes this song too.

(I'm dutch so noone will understand that it's actually a sad song...)

[XDiaxosX]

@napoleon950 lolxD Why not choose "the crimson" for your wedding lol;)

[napoleon950]

this'll be my wedding music... well... now thats clear... let's find a bride who likes this song too.

[hxceer2]

this song is just like my life at the moment... its such a sad thought, the loss of youth.

[RyouMyMotherNoimACat]

first song i ever heard from atreyu years back brings a tear to my eye in a good way :D

[77Oisin]

love it

[5dollaFutlong]

Makes no sense how Justin Bieber is more well known then these guys

[J0eyJordison]

@5dollaFutlong we should call that gay guy cause who wants to see his name in the comments below and Atreyu video?^^

[Beketlol]

@5dollaFutlong It does, because the majority of people don't have an actual appreciation for legitimate expression.

[CaptainAwesome12100]

This song was about the lead singer, Alex, drinking problem. The Theft is the alcohol. And in the music video I realized that it also had a different meaning to the song :3 so full of awesomeness :P

[MalevolenceX3]

Only Alex can scream for someones whole life

[ITwest97]

a truely bueftiful music video/song

[pelicanofpunishment6]

now that is what music is meant to be; full of emotion, meaning and awesomness

[cubano351]

i cant stop listening to this song its so emotional in its way...its a great song

[Farewell2Life]

This song always reminds me of living my own (however young) life instead of completely giving in to someone others dreams and visions for me.

Its like this song tries to help me with that sometimes retarded life, and it works. thanks Atreyu ~

[niggaids]

Wow. That's soo deep once you think about it. This vido was AWESOME

[penguinfromtheholy]

@niggaids So was that comment... especially considering your name XD

[HunterG0711]

@niggaids It kind of makes me sad that you had to think about it to realize it was deep. 30 seconds in, I knew this song was going to stick with me for the rest of my life.

[h0tsp0t11]

@niggaids this video IS awesome!

[XdistantXskylineX]

This video, though forever my favorite, reminds me of another song, with a theme closely related. Second and Sebring by Of Mice And men.

[Nodrilla]

I'm seeing them tonight with Bullet for my Valentine! My two favourite bands ever. Seriously can't wait.

[93maggot]

damn good song.

[xXxKhainexXx]

this is in my opinion Atreyu's best song full of meaning gotta remember to learn the vocals so i can sing while playing it on guitar.

[WarWarrior44]

Gud Song

[lokboxx]

Holy nostalgia... I have never seen a better video in my life.

[jasiv0o0]

Love this song ! deserves way more views

[travisjbye1]

one of my favorite songs by them... full of emotion

[averyshizzle]

i cant get over how sexy brandon saller is.

[Sarahobv]

I haven't heard this song in soo long but it's still amazing. :)

[william98765432]

I really love the song but felt the music video was a bit light =\\

[hit9times]

i used to complain about how old atreyu was better than new atreyu, than i saw them twice live......ALL THEIR SONGS ARE BAD ASS LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so now i dont worry about it as much. haha.

[arpeggioxmajor]

this is really really cool dude.. never get bored eventhough I watch and listen to it everyday.. really exceptional song.. ahahahahahahahahaha..

[iwantfrijoles]

thier are obisouly 15 idots who dont know shit about music because atreyu rules

[babbygir101]

i fucking love this song. anyone who doesn't like it, obviously sucks a penis. in fact, not just a penis, but paul forrester's big ol fatttttt fattty fat fat penis dick cock

[elizabeth0noria]

this song is just epic.....

[superchristian102]

Does the drummer have autism? Yes, /hatehatehate. There, done?

I saw him live, and I SINCERELY believed he was a mentally challenged stage hand.

[TheJimmy0341]

I love this band and this song just blows me away

[aidsburgerinparadise]

I think this song is actually suppsed to relate to the Never ending story ( which just clearing up with where the bands name is from) Like how Bastian always has his heads in the clouds and his dad constantly tell him to keep his feet on the ground (in the movie not the book) and it kinda illustrates the adults in the movie how they all lose sight of imagination and destroy fantastica

[moshkidejc]

@aidsburgerinparadise Nice theory but it's about Alex being an alchoholic and how he got over it.

[IHRTBULLETSXXX]

The worst part of the song is at 3:56 , From there on it just sucks.

[CASEYMFCOPPOLA]

everytime i watch this video i cry. EVERY SINGLE TIME. i could watch it 2546589368243 times in a row, and still be hysterical. this is such a great song. <3

[spark9of9creation]

the mics the use get newer and more up to date as the guy in the video gets older...nice touch

[tonyrox21]

One of my favorite songs ever!!!!

I cried in the end

[48243742]

The worst part is at 3:57

[xenochristcorpse]

isnt the dude in glasses from school of rock? lol

[RyanStewart96]

lead singer and drummer have amazing voices!

[914golfnut]

@patience884 zamzar is better

[kxracer53]

whats this song about?

[XStuuehLovesYeX]

First time I've listened to them and I have to say, I'm impressed. :)

[jbmase99]

discovered this band first when I saw this vid on some music channel a few years back, I love all their stuff and this song/video is just awesome

[A7XKoRnRocks1]

I just simply LOVE this song

[geeupson]

amazing video...i feel dan jacobs is clinging to hard onto the past of atreyu at times while everyone else has matured out of their older material

[wolfman49036]

to me this video is a short version of real life. as a kid you're care free. you're yourself. as you get older society teaches you how to act. you become another number. after a long while and once you become a middle aged you realize you've lost something in your life (most go through a mid life crisis about now). then you realize in the end what you've lost, yourself. you've become everyone else. "the theft" of society has made you another number. my opinion. don't let it happen to you

[Sh1k4ri]

@wolfman49036 absolutly !

[CptCheesyFingers]

@wolfman49036 WOW that was DEEEEEP

[sikkirikki]

@wolfman49036

[sikkirikki]

@wolfman49036 WELL SAID, GREAT INSIGHT MAN........SERIOUSLY

[XDiaxosX]

@wolfman49036 Nice words dude, never thought much about that, just hearing that great song.

Think your right, but i see differences with the lyrics though... but for the vid your explanaiton sounds great;)

[samtorrance5590]

What is this video about? It's so beautiful. The song is amazing, and the front singer has an amazing singing voice when he uses it :)

[SuperLollypop88]

<3 this song

[mike92328]

this song reminds me of edward scissor hands so much lol

[TrueReload14]

what does this part of the song mean?

Climb down to test the waters,

My hands feel like they're rusting away yea, away yea.

So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter

I'll stay here as long as you let me,

Decisions been made obvious so I will return

Where I started I'll stay there

Unfinished

I'll wither away

[teamdoomii]

Listen you guys are.......

[jennpeace101]

This song is amazing and Brandon has such an amazing voice.

[7HELLYEABITCH7]

damn this band cant get any better

this and avenged sevenfold and bullet for my valentine always make my day

but damn atreyu doesnt walk on that red carpet they walk on toilet paper cuz there the SHIT(in a good way for the dumbasses haha)

[BMX4LIFE733]

1:45 - 2:12 is the best part cause you think hes gonna scream then he doesn't and he keeps building up the emotion and its just sweet

[mscorzelli]

maravilhoso

[Anneke95]

AMAZING! I can listen to this song, actualy every song of them the whole day without growing tired of the song or them... And even if I have heard it over a hundred times it still blows my mind and makes me silent...

[superchristian102]

Okay, WHAT THE FUCK.

I saw Atreyu on Thursday, during Mayhem.

I remember really wanting to see the drummer, because I thought he was cute, and I loved his singing voice.

Then, I saw him on stage. I thought he was a mentally challenged stage hand. Eventually, he sat down behind the drums. "Sound check," I thought.

Then, he played them during the performance. What happened to his teeth? They turned yellow and rotten. And his hair is gone... And he doesn't sing well at all live.

[yodasnut16]

@superchristian102 personally i think he sounds great live u gotta give him some credit to everyone sounds a bit different live and i noticed hge was bald 2 i have no idea why he did look better with long hair even tho im a guy saying that lol but whatever atreyu is still the best!

[superchristian102]

@yodasnut16

Might have just been the performance I saw, in that case. It was unnaturally hot; I had to leave the crowd because I was going to faint from the heat.

Plus, the lead singer's microphone wasn't loud enough.

But, really... He seems a lot different than what I expected. His voice is really great here, he looks attractive and mentally competent... But, live... Idk what happened. I wasn't kidding when I said I thought a retard was given a job helping out on stage; he was that odd
