[monkeyglue3]

This video is in VIOLATION of the SOPA ACT .......but who cares. Great job man, and thanks

[emufood21]

CREED SUCKS

[KIngAragorn100]

@emufood21 then why click on the video and be a annoying troll? I don't understand dumb asses like you

[missybreakya721]

@emufood21 DONT LISTEN THEN U FAG

[KIngAragorn100]

SEALs

[KIngAragorn100]

this song really spoke to me and that when there is so much stress and worry and i just feel like giving up i just listen to this song and it slows me down and calms me

[tayloramber91291]

this song reminds me of my life!!

[ihaveballs2288]

Makes me think of someone who died in a driving accident drinking and driving and i look at my life style and feel like it should have been me.

[Herpy1000]

I'm not even christian and I like Creed!

[JAKETHEGREAT11100]

@Herpy1000 im an athiest and i love creed

[4857438583475]

@JAKETHEGREAT11100 LOL

[SecraLas]

@Herp  whath?????????

[Mrmusicvideoetc]

@Herpy1000 It's ok, Creed probably isn't Christian either.....

[Blinkdawg23]

@Mrmusicvideoetc I'm pretty sure they are Christian- Rock. Just to be honest, they ARE, without a doubt, influenced by Christianity. Seriously, "I cry out to god, seeking only his decision. Gabriel stands and confirms, I've created my own prison.

This song, talks about waiting to be judged by god.

Higher.. well, it talks about going to heaven.. Obviously. "Take me higher, to a place with golden streets." I can't remember exactly what is said, but thats about it...

[john197396]

@Blinkdawg23 yeah,but they didnt have to lable themselves Christian,which i think makes them even more of a Christian band.

[Blinkdawg23]

@john197396 Ehh. I wouldn't say that, no. Why would that make them even more of a Christian band?

[TheStateoflove]

@Blinkdawg23 this album, was scotts staps journey to finding christ, thats why creed broke up in the end

[79kritty]

@Mrmusicvideoetc yeah he is,this is christian rock!!!why do you think you dont hear him on the radio no more?because he went back to singing only christian music!!!!

[TheFrofessional7789]

 the chorus is amazing:)

[iloveclassicrock12]

you people take it too far just listen to the damn song !

[dhylanspano1]

sober for 1 week so far, and i feel way better, mabey even a little happy :)

[verdantforce88]

@dhylanspano1 thats tough

[TheFrofessional7789]

this song rocks.i love any song in drop D:)

[Ackmed2142]

i dont mean to hate on religions but most of us came here to listen to the song and nothing else....

[1awareness]

@1awareness Amen-dhs

[therocker281]

man i know im only twelve but i had to serve 4 years in juvie

[asunta66]

Thumbs up of how many of us have created our own prisons?

[TheAparicio1978]

awesome song!!!!



[Creighster]

cant we have a comment section where the Christians say/interpret what they want, the non-religious say/interpret what they want, and we enjoy creed together without getting offended?

[Xenooo2k]

somebody said this was about a "ITRW" court.

Charles Manson is in my playlist. >>> GUILTY!

[BrokenClouds89]

I don't understand why this band took so much criticism. Great song

[IllinoisPawnShop]

"A sun that only shines on some"

[Adarvuli]

creed's the motherfuckin' SHIT!

[RUMELSKIN]

Can I request a song? I would like Styx - A Song For Suzzane. That is so hard to find anywhere!

[TexicanoV3]

Creed isn't officially christian music

[J3WaySKP]

im afraid all these christians are gonna preach to me there shit -.- i just want to listen to creed god damnit xD

[w3sts]

@J3WaySKP its not so much a preach as a person simpley being abel to intake someone elses views of a song. rather dickish of you to take the lord's name in vain ^_^

[J3WaySKP]

@w3sts you sir are a faggot :)

[w3sts]

@J3WaySKP tho's who accuse are offten them self's

[J3WaySKP]

@w3sts your gonna have to better than that -.-

[J3WaySKP]

@J3WaySKP also im not a christian nor catholic so using the "lords name in vein" or whatever i have no care for

[uncletdog]

@J3WaySKP way to hate on religion... asshole

[powerdead1000]

[J3WaySKP]

[Urdalibertine]

"On a sad day of Laos>"

RIP Thorn.

[Kimpatsu2]

Theyre not a Christian band Their lead singer said in an interview that they didnt mean to make any of their songs sound christian

[J3WaySKP]

@Kimpatsu2 though scott stapp is a hardcore christian

[llHyRaXll]

christianity sucks but creed is awesome ^_^

[TheMscorbin]

This is mah emo song!

[JustinBass420]

this song is soo deep too anyone whos been in prision  this explains it all

[No555666]

This song is amazing, hands down, i don't care if Creed is a christian band, this song owns. Thumbs up if you agree.

[whatitdo859]

this song is about going to HELL...look at lyrics,court in session is GODS judgement. HE doesnt send people there,you do it yourself! [own prison] demons all around,your cellmates.Gabriel there,and the angel was told to cast them in the LAKE OF FIRE! please accept JESUS in your heart,let HIM save you so you don't go to your "own" prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SouthernRR4501]

@whatitdo859 I wish I could except him into my heart. I have alot of hate and fear inside me, and its eating away at me. I don't know what I'm going to do when it finally consumes everything about me, I guess maybe kill myself?? But when I go to church, all those people in there seem to be better than me, I just can't shake that feeling.

[PaleMoons]

@SouthernRR4501 Well I don't know about your religion. But us Cathloics believe you go to hell if you kill yourself.

I used to feel that way!! I saw all those beautiful Cathloic girls with white veils and long hair. I never wore a veil till resently when I realized that were all sinners. Were all imperfect towards God. That's apart of being human. Some of the most holiest people and who took towards Jesus the most were prostitutes.

Were all hypocrites because non of us live up to our belives

[ssccynx0]

@SouthernRR4501 Never give up friend, there's always a way out. Nothing is too much for Jesus, he is the ultimate heart-fixer and problem-solver.

[ADHDnADD15]

@ssccynx0 i thought that was cigs :P nah jm

[ssccynx0]

@ADHDnADD15 haha :p

[MsHorseLuva4eva]

@SouthernRR4501

Don't give up! I am a Christian,sure, but I'm no better than you. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world [Us], that

He sent His only begotten Son,that whosoever[Again, us] believeth in Him shall have everlasting life" Just ask him to forgive you, He will

[jaxanemt2]

@SouthernRR4501 to me to be a Christian is to STRIVE to be Christ like and Jesus gave us the perfect example in the New Testament. He was all about love, forgiveness and equality. If you meet and socialize with true Christians, they will not pass judgement on you and can help you learn to let go of that baggage and fear. God bless you friend, dont give up, keep on seeking Jesus, not acceptance from RELIGIOUS people.

[shikimoharu911]

Great video dude.

[shikimoharu911]

You guys realize that there is a music video above the comments right? It'd seem you all have forgotten that little fact.

[dragonman7298]

right on man

[tconnorman]

we all create our own prison whether it's by default or not

[drummerforlifeful]

i know every word to this song without lookin at the lyrics

[32091mike]

[thguitfiddlinpsyco]

[DarkHisagi17]

Very true and bad ass band. Only people who would dislike this are cruel addicts... Anyway like Creed I got a rock n roll soul and search for importance in my life! Rock on dudes!

[nikk12090]

ive done my time, paid back society, and suffered for my sins. all the pain was self-inflicted and avoidable had i only chosen a different path. i hope that all who readthis learn from my mistake and abandon hatred and selfishness, i can assure you, it will only lead to misery in the end. om mani padme hum

[ONEWORD1GOD]

@nikk12090 Job 40v10-24 kjv.Prase the lord of host.For it had to be done,for your sake.That you may know the truth of it all.For many was in there pride. bless you.

[worshipsoundz]

When i heard "HEAR ME CALLING" and i turned and went into my room with my sinner friends it was as though that was the doorway into a spiritual prison....................Can you picture it on the big screen? For this generation!!!!

[UnAmExIcO3]

@worshipsoundz what song is that one and why did it put u down?

[gladnika]

at 0:23 is The wall is cold not walls are cold

[JackPantz]

I always wondered what the lyrics were at 1:29.

[Linklandco]

@JackPantz You sir, just made my day.

[devine3111]

@JackPantz

lolol

[xBVBxBMTHx]

this song really makes me think about my faith not question it like hes doing in this song but this song lets me know that only god can judge me

[UnAmExIcO3]

@xBVBxBMTHx hes not questioning cristianis hes actualy promoting it u dumbass u trying to comfuse people shut up

[xBVBxBMTHx]

@UnAmExIcO3 -_________-" Sorry about that. It was my idiotic brother. :/ Last time I leave my YouTube acc. on. :l

[UnAmExIcO3]

@xBVBxBMTHx o its ok dude 

[Jesussavestheday2day]

Matthew 5- The Sermon on the Mount.

This song is based on the teachings of Jesus. The prison described in this song is spoken in Matthew 5:25,26. Accepting Jesus as your saviour, will cause a heart to be remade. When a heart is remade then a person is able to fully understand these teachings. A person will be set free from their own selfmade prison of sin.

[THTKCLAN]

anybody wanna bet that the 9 dislikers are bieber or miley cyrus fans

[darthmaulsgirl]

This song is incredible!!!! I have almost a thousand songs on my ipod and I repeat and listen to this song for hours over and over again. I can't get enough of it.

[nightangel1953]

Growing up in an old time holiness church, I was taught that this kind of music was evil, but once I read the words to the songs, I've been so impressed with how in touch Creed is with life, what it's for or not for, and I can SOOOOOO Identify with feeling stuck in my own prison, the world, my own skin. I don't feel "home" anywhere, like a lost spirit, alone in this lonely world.

[kylerss4]

Creed is one of my favorite bands because i can get all the rock that i like to listen to plus Christian band lyrics that have a true meaning for this world.. like if u like my post i hope to get over 100

[timzillaify]

@kylerss4 dumbass creed isnt a christian band, lmfao!

[kylerss4]

@timzillaify i meant because of what it says in most songs is why i said that dumbass i didnt mean it as an actual christian rock band

[timzillaify]

@kylerss4 lol their lyrics cant be considered christian unless they are infact a christian band. At least thats how I look at It.

[luraherper]

@kylerss4 Shut up. I mean, really. You're ruining this band for me.

[kylerss4]

@luraherper good for u, u think i care cuz i dont lol

[luraherper]

@kylerss4 It's nice to know that everyone of you is an asshole. Also, get spell check. It's free.

[Packersrulealways]

Thanks for not cutting half of the first verse like their video does!

[zdog664]

shame on you!!! 8 people who dislike!!

[TheZEROts]

8 PEOPLE HAVE...DIFFERENT OPINION!

[KlarKman1000]

i will find my own freedom.. one day.

[sixx369]

Sometimes i wonder "WHATS THIS LIFE FOR? When ever im in "MY OWN PRISON" Because im trying to "OVERCOME" I`m standing here "WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN", Because i want u to "STAND HERE WITH ME". I want "MY SACRAFICE" to take me "HIGHER" Creed we all want you to know we still love your music

[Bravhrt79]

@sixx369 Amen!

[KlarKman1000]

listen to the christians that are preaching just stop ok? i respect all religions but i choose to be atheist so just enjoy the music made by humans for humans dont forget we are seperated by nothing religion is a breakable barrier no matter the belief you have or what god you worship we are all the same.. we all listen to the same music were all brothers in rock dont forget that

[billyjoebob987654321]

@KlarKman1000 im christian and all i have to say is rock on dude

[KlarKman1000]

@billyjoebob987654321 rock on brother.

[notyurbitch]

[KlarKman1000]

@notyurbitch yeah man. well said.

[notyurbitch]

@KlarKman1000 damn straight brother

[sabre1897]

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. NOW YOU'VE STARTED READING THIS. DON'T STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY. 1. say your name 10 times 2. say your mom's name 5 times 3. say your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this to 4 other songs. if you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck.........

[dracx13s]

shoulda been dead on a monday night but this knife just wont cut

i scream and try to keep it in place but im out of luck

i cant go through i cant do it

demons tell me cut i say fine but truth is i cant

love is the beginning and end for many today not for me

cuz as darkness approches i find a ray of light and hope that leads the way

[SexyRacer91]

Great band!!!!! Creed is amazing!!! Oh And for all u ppl h8n on one another everyone can worship there religion the way they feel is right so why don't u all stop dissin on eachother and just focus on your views. And I'm not tryin to sound like a bitch or anything so don't get tht perspective

[detr0yt94]

one of my favorite songs of all time.... wish i could of seen them in concert...

[nightxhawk95]

I feel sry for this band cuz it's not very popluar. Creed is like one of the best rock bands out there.

[finestbitchnbrevard]

to azaael109 maybe u should watch the lyrics ........vision of the cross i feel the pain of a sad day of lose.....if u had been to church u would know thats about Jesus!!!

[wisper247537]

@finestbitchnbrevard hey! dont be so rude to azazael109 how do u know if they dont goto church so back off! every one has there dam oponions so....back the hell off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[azazael09]

Wish you people would realise this song ain't about Jesus....

[169Spottedclaw]

i love this song what is wrong with the 8 people who hate it

[Bowin99]

@169Spottedclaw the 8 people dont know good music when they hear it

[cld1472]

And in all honesty I do love this song its beautifully written. The band has a lot of talent and could have made it much bigger. And yeah hes singing about God, but in reality you can take this song in another light that he is thinking back about a life that he regrets and wishes he could have changed things to suit who he is as a person now. Thats called intellect not Faith

[JenniiJellybean]

Sucha a sad song. Tells a real message, even if your not christain. i love creed, and their songs are great no matter what. <3

[glade20]

also we are our own prisons in our mind, or so i think its about

[glade20]

i love this song and band, i am atheist, personally and my opinon alone i don;t care what happens to me. It be only a honor to think i have a next life. A free will left. be it obilvion so be it.

[Derrick7777777]

does anyone notice how this song is slightly sharp in the tuning? Play along with a tuned guitar and you would know what i mean.

[dirtfoot]

I love this song.

[intangibledc]

i wish they sang about something else. great voice though, i'm just not the least bit religious

[bebe3rdID]

Man people forget Jesus was sent here to save sinners like me, not self righteous blowhards lol!

[12Roxane]

Great Song & Great Band

scott stapp looks better with his long hair than his new short hair

[MrAaronch]

I love the crap out of this song.

[Angelisastarr12]

This was my cousins favoriteee song. R.I.P. this song is beast! <3

[Aonfreak]

@Angelisastarr12 God Bless the Dead homie

[1959ridgerunner]

screams fill the room alone i drop and kneel-Rom 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

[GhostfaceChilla420]

This song's main guitar riff sounds like a short section in P.L.U.C.K. by System of a Down...Creed was first in 1997..SOAD song wasn't until '98...but it's weird

[fuzzy5678]

FUCK JB

[1997Rhett]

Why the FUCK is justin biebers baby vid to the side of this

[xkyl3eckx]

98% of most people in the world would break down and cry if they saw Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers on the top of a skyscraper. If you're one of the 2% yelling, "JUMP MOTHERFUCKERS", copy and paste this EVERYWHERE

[Timap21]

Great Song!!

[GladysThe1]

Been there, done that. In and outside the walls!

[harleygirl68ca]

i dont know where any one gets that CREED is a religious ban they have made it clear time and time again they are NOT ... just personal opinion they sing about

[1959ridgerunner]

@harleygirl68ca tell that to yourself if it makes you feel better,haha you certainly are in denial

[usaeagle100]

@harleygirl68ca man there more lik a christian band dude.

[harleygirl68ca]

@usaeagle100 i aint a dude lol ,,,and they have said in interveiws they arent a christain band ...

[brokenagain89]

dont fucking care either way

[stacyhinojosa39]

they're lyrics r definetly christian if they r or aren't..doesn't really matter the message is good

[rhianalynable]

i really like this band ....my hubby also like this ..

[strongasian]

I was away for awhile and i realised that my sentence was my own because of my selfish desires....i lived with evil and was evil...i see the world as home away from home.....Forgiveness is given to those who seek forgiveness and those that hide hate will find that hate on judgement day!black,white,yellow,brown..­.we have created our own prison...and if we change we create our own freedom!

[1jacjo9ti]

@strongasian Well put. I believe it may go alittle deeper than that but I couldn't of said it better in that many words

[mserk101]

@strongasian

:D i'm so glad you have found that love and rock to stand on : )

[paqmanjr08]

@strongasian how do you hide hate?

jus when you
