  • staind just reaches out to those places u need to deal with!!!thanks for reality on all the right reasons of pain & love

  • call me an ass hole but i only care about the song...

  • I can't go a day without my meds im scared im becoming a reliant... help I don't want therapy I want steps were do I go from here please help

  • staind is amazing i havent heard a song that doesnt have a message. its raw pain and people relate. weve all been shit on and broken, and staind really seems to tap into emotions most artist stay away from. blow away is ridiculously deep theres a line in the song...i wish that i could disappear, unzip my skin and leave it here...i know i wanted to just walk away, leave, take the easy way out many times over....but i realized when i stopped living for myself, i actually started to feel alive.

  • i can appreciate the message...however everything else was pretty lame. the black demon arms worked and the camera work during the od scene was relativly good it just seemed mediocre.

  • Its also about addiction. That leads to suicide as well. But really listen tot the lyrics. Its both.

  • lol staind

    more like claimd

  • i love that song... staind please come to mexico

  • Best rock ever

  • man i remember when this cd came out,i would call it the great depression lots of ups and downs,one of my fav songs actually my number 1 fav song of the track list decending.if you thought you wouldn't make it back then til this day,and you're still here.you've overcomed the odds my friends.live life day by day,remember you deserve to be on this earth,you are someone and you make a diference

  • i love all the songs on this cd. its personally my fav record they have. just cause you can feel all the pain and anger and such that aarons feeling. i wish they would put out more records that made you feel the way he does. i think it makes for a awesome listening experience.

  • what if you never had that helping rope and you never find a way out, would you go insane?

    i already like this band so much

    tool will still always be my top band

  • Love the vid this song means so much to me it got me threw alot of depressing times! Staind will forever remain the best band ever to me

  • LUV DA VID X) STAIND IS 1 OF MY FAVS

  • LUV DA VID X)

  • Damn thats a powerful song! Scary because its all too easy to just let go.

  • what is the film clip trying to suggest? that black people push others to do heroin?

  • @deathisapromise666 yes... exactly, cant fight the truth

  • @ucantseeme24 lol. I hope you're kidding. It's not depending on the colour of a person whether they will do drugs or not it's the person.

  • @deathisapromise666 ... Then why did you ask?

  • @ucantseeme24 in one of the clips there's a women who rests her arms to table and there's a brown paper bag about half a meter away and a black hand pushes her arm towards it. I was being sarcastic.

    I'm not a generalizing moron. To be honest, where I'm from majority of heroin users are white and other places it varies.

  • @deathisapromise666 the hand wasn't a black mans hand... it was suppose to resemble a demon taunting her back to the drub

  • @ucantseeme24 I'm well aware that it wasn't a black man's hand. I knew what the message that was being told. Again, i was being sarcastic

  • @deathisapromise666 lol wow! WTF no it has nothing to do with race, the black hand was evil taunting her to take the drugs

  • @JLA12301985 no shit!!! Read the rest of the comments before you try and contradict my very first comment that was SARCASM in the first place.

  • @JLA12301985 and evil doesn't persuade us to use illicit substances. The need to be somewhere else, feel something other than the pain and/or boredom of our current existence pushes us to. The song is amazing but the film clip is shit in my opinion

  • @deathisapromise666 well that is your opinion but the rest of us will probably disagree with your opinion, I think this video is very good!

  • have you ever been addicted to anything i dont mean that to sound rude please.i really respect your opinion but i honestly believe the cliip is saying its almost like you dont want yourself to fall in that way but something drives you idk about the evil thing i dont think thats what the video is about.

  • This song is so true.

  • lol rage more at rappers, different genre

  • People like whatever type of music they like.

    Respect it.

  • WTF!!!!....how did lil wang get spoken in the staind section....morons always gotta bring their mouths to a battle they can't win...talk about that coon shit somewhere else..

  • @sTapleEVA its cool, dont worry about it :)

  • @sTapleEVA .... ehhh something like that, but no

  • @Enray501 i feel nosey now :(

    sorry

  • dude ur vid. rocks i luv it

  • Dogfood Time Bitches!!!!!!!

  • "A Black hand!! Let's blame the black people for the loss of this charming girl!

    Besides... they stole her bag... Definitely black people!"

    Anyway, being a bit more serious.. Very nice vid there, had to watch it through a few times to actually see what it actually meant. At first i thought it was all about sorrow and feeling unprotected. Well done.

  • None to few bands even come close to matching this band there music takes music to a whole other level.

  • @Flow19591 what about evanecence?

  • @sTapleEVA Nope. dont get me wrong i like them and they are good but are far from great.

  • @Flow19591 look up

    AOL. sessions-all that im liveing for

    Lyrics and legands-bring me to life (piano version)

    that will change your mind!!!

    or at leat give you a new tune :)

  • good video well done I applaud you for making this and showing the meaning it holds for so many.

  • that black hand is on me right now and controlling me like nothing ever has before

  • I scrolled down here to compliment the video and all i see is vulgar language about Lil Wayne and the next comment has something to do with racism... thats sad. but anyways....... Nice video, Ive invisioned it like this myself. I'm not involved with drugs, but something else and it will help me for sure :) thanks

  • @Enray501 are you a sex addict, a cutter and/or anarexic? those are all addictions that you dont need drugs to have

  • Comment removed

  • @HiVultage01 its about addiction

  • @sle061276

    Here is my thought, at least part of this song is about not facing problems and that even though it seems like doing so will help make you feel better, things will only get worse in the end. The part where he says "Are you afraid of what they think, whoever 'they' happen to be" i think he means that if you can't face you own problems people will think negatively of you even though there is no one that thinks this. This is a good song, it has helped me face my own problems.

  • This is such a great video...

  • that girl in the video is exactly like me. Something is controlling me and I don't know how to stop myself!!!!

  • this video is dedicated to all of

    the people who got swept in...,it`s easy to get pulled in too deep,no pain is worth throwing your life away

  • The black hand is a great concept. You don't know why your doing it, you just are and you can't control yourself... And not knowing what you will do is a scary concept. It happened to me once, I was scared of myself, and what I'd do... I have never done hard drugs, but I have used weed (I know, hard stuff, right? ha!) as a crutch, and even just pot can be just as bad...

  • Okay so lil wayne didn't cover this song?

    I was gonna say.... xD That would be fucked up.

  • You're all fucking retarded. Just because 2 songs have the same title, doesn't mean they're the SAME song. Songs can have the same name, and still be completely different songs, its just a fucking name, and not the actual music. You know how many songs are called, "Hero"? It doesn't mean they're the same song covered by other bands you fucking dumbasses.

  • Good Video, Very well put together

  • @ddreamz13.. exactly I haven't figured it out either

  • i like it

  • What's funny is anyone who dresses with their pants sagging and shit like that, who call themselves gangsta's, aren't a gangster nor close to one. Gangsters wore fadora's and suits, used tommy guns to rob banks, rode on running boards of cars, ran from the cops with pants that was at their waist, and lived their lives as outlaws. These guys are mock-up wanna be's who don't know shit. These people put real gangster's history to shame.

  • @dongle1890 you got that right todays' gangster r just bullshit

  • @dongle1890 wtf do gangsta have to do with this truely emotional matter why cant we see the message here? why cant we see what arrons saying here why cantwe embrace the message here n the great lyrical content here music like this isnt happening anymore guys please focus on the message

  • what album is this from?

  • @crv423 14 shades of grey

  • in the first chorus does he say "is clear"?

  • @JandemChannelNews13 yeah he does. still can't figure it out either when the real line should be "the way back up is unclear"

  • The only addiction i have is anime and porn addiction but since i think having a girlfriend is too expensive and risky for me now, its the only way to get rid of my sexual tension, so i don't have a choice

  • @hanamid LOL

  • This song is definitely me

  • I love this song. So dreary and gloomy but so truthful. Definitely one of my favorite Staind songs 5/5

  • i love you

  • The same thing you're thinking might make you feel better

    The same things that probably got you here

  • idk who made this video but if ur reading this i want u to know its touched me.....ive struggled with sobritery for years....im 4 months clean now and this vid brought me to tears....thank u for ur help.....this vid had helped me more than u think.....and i love to black gloves....the devil allways makes u do things u wish u didnt dosent he.....thank u so much

  • amazing

  • staind is arguably the best band to ever walk the face of the earth.

  • staind is the greatest band to ever walk to earth i got STAIND tattooed on my left forearm i love them so much

  • STAIND

  • great song :)

  • great song.

    5/5

    ./push :O

  • Ok why did I get a thumbs down for asking if lil wayne has this song too? It was a question I wasn't bashing him!

  • this is way better than lil wayne verison if u ask me lil wayne is way over rated.....

  • @anthonytaylor1986 wait lil wayne has this song too?

  • no..this is not song..only 'lil wayne-reality TV'..sth like that..I think this is programme but for sure this isn't a song..;)

  • why not?

  • because I watched it and I realise that it is a programme,I think..

  • it's a video someone made for the song since the artist didn't make one

  • @tanoulita No, you're just . . . fucking stupid.

  • @spawn22222 ok thanks..I guess you know me very well and you can call me names by one comment on youtube..anyway..peace;)

  • @tanoulita It's just . . . a program? Seriously? What wold make you think that? I don't understand it. It just challenges every fiber of my being.

  • @spawn22222 I don't refer to this video but to another one (which is lil wayne's..that video is a programme and not a song, I think )..haha it's very funny because we are talking about nothing;) basically by the first comment I replied to JLA2301985..I just answered because he asked if lil wayne has a song with the name reality..misundestanding I guess;)

  • Lil Wayne can fuck off. He's not "cool" at all. Lil Wayne, Lil John, Usher, whatever their fucking names are. They're a bunch of overated gangster wannabes.

  • perfectly said

  • @Deadpool458 Lil Waynes attempt to play guitar is fucking hilarious! He can't even really sing, and he can't play the guitar at even a rudimentary level!

  • @Deadpool458 stereotyping and generalizing is a sign of ignorance. but this is a great video kinda sad though

  • @usn014 Not quite sure if you ment that I was ignorant. If that is the case then let me say that ignorance is not one of my characteristics ,and you can't even try to say that it is based on one comment. I won't say that the comment I posted doesn't show signs of ignorance, but please don't assume that I'm an ignorant person based on something I posted 7 months ago.

  • @Deadpool458 they all got lil johns lmfao

  • @Deadpool458 No they're gangsters but they over exaggerate and boast their ignorance and struggle because it's easier to be conceited about you're flaws instead of fixing them. Hip Hop is the only genre where an artist's happiness can be bought. If money can buy you're happiness, you are a sell out. I hate hip hop. By the way, if you get a moment, check out my rap video on my channel.........I'm serious XD

  • @Deadpool458 and you're mad at the world because you're an uneducated chickenshit because you 'rebel against the black man' which is retarded because black media doesn't have much power at all, and you wanna try and take even that away because niggs got bigger wangs than u and ur buddies, and they also fuck ur girlfriends and stuff like that. but yeah you're right lil john usher and lil wayne suck cock at rap

  • @Deadpool458

    I like Lil Wayne... and I like Staind.... What does that make me? Less of a Staind fan? I'm 25, I've been listening to Staind since I was 13. There's something to be said about respecting people's taste in music.

    I generally dislike any kind of Pop music, but I don't go about bitching about it. It is what it is. That's why different genres of music exist people people's taste in music is often very different.

    I guess I'm the rare type that likes Rock Rap and Metal.

  • @Deadpool458 Anyone noticed a connection between all of them Lil Wayne, Lil John, Lil Bow Wow, Tinie Tempha, Tinchy Stryder...think their trying to tell us something...other than the fact my gerbil has more talent in its tail...and i dont even have a gerbil

  • It was a really, really, really bad time in my life when I first heard this song. I think I cried for an entire hour. The lyrics are beautiful. Every single fucking word. "The walls you build around yourself, I guess they also keep you here."

  • that was AWESOME

    loved how u kept it simple but the black hand things great idea.

    "you'd give it all up for whats there...

    the same things that probably got you here"

    Best. Lyrics. EVER.

    did the song well

  • @blehhh13 ya i agree

  • we are already here! we are not dead yet! or? ... lol, take yourself alive or be dead at live. its your decision what you can do with your fucking live, live can be sometimes SHIT! but ... make it better!? thats it .. we all can do it better i think! give a shit about the other ones who talk and make shit all the day long... be you be a good one! :) lol tanke yourself alive dreams can be real.

  • He who anger's you, conquers you.

  • i've been through lots of shit these past 2 years to, and have i thought about suicide? ya i have, have i committed it? obviously not, the reason? the stuff that was there a year ago exists no more, but there is one that will remain forever, but i dont mind it because i have learned to cope with it. my life was ruined from some idiot that didnt know how to get home when he was drunk, and the consiquences where me getting hit, and him getting 7 years in state.i'm still here because i choose life

  • no matter the pain, another day is worth the stitches, the scars the rain. Fuck you, and your life, but fix your shit, feel no shame. love with us, keep the flame.

  • Every comment starts with

    "I have been through so much shit in my life"

    Stop crying with your little suburb problems about bullys an ur gf's leaving you. Aint even the peak of problems if that shit upsets u i feel bad for u in the next 10 years.

  • LOL I agree this is mostly about drug addictions, I don't really think Aaron writes songs about heart break lol

  • lifs a gift why throw it all away

  • suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, no matter how dark things get they will always get better!

  • yeah suicide is plan stupid alot of people think that's the answer but they are wrong.

  • yea, and aaron thinks so too. listen to waste.

  • @fpskirk Yeah I love that song & he's really pissed at that kid for it too, I don't see why that kids mother came to Aaron cause Aaron had nothing to do with it

  • @JLA12301985 do you by chance have the answer

  • Yeah the answer is stay strong you'll make it, I've been a teenager myself I've had times to where I wanted to end it all but I stayed strong & now I'm a very happy person! So yeah I have the answer take a lesson from my answer!

  • quit feeling sorry for yourself and just be happy with who you are! If somebody puts you through shit, shrub it off like water off a ducks back! if people want to bring down society, fuck em'. there is a reason they wont make it to your future. FUCK EM'!

  • I have been through soo much shit in my life and i wished I could go for good but if i do that those cocksuckers in school will probably laugh at me so whats the point.

  • I have also been through so much shit in my life. Sometimes it feels as if it were not worth fighting through, but in the end....you have a choice either you end it all (kill yourself) which im say NOT to do....DO NOT kill yourself, or you can choose to fight through that pain. I know i have been through pain, i know what it feels like, but you know what? I choose to fight, and in the end, it gets better. You will have your moments, but fight. Let no one bring you down. Fuck them.

  • dude fuck them they can go to hell do right thing

  • what do you mean do right thing

  • the vide has a really good saying that i really like A LOT!

    "No pain is worth throwing ur life away."

    sucide isn't the way to go... no matter wat, b/c u may think that killing urself will make a certain person happier, but ur not thinking of the ones who do care about u, ur friends, some of ur family, ur only causing them more pain....... think about that the next time u wanna do this shit to ur self....

  • @deathforavengeance Very true, suicide is selfish... It does more hurt than good.... Actually, it does NO good.

  • @TheSeaPeopleandMe hellz yeah it's selfish :] thanx for seeing from my point of view :]

  • fuck no staind is da best

  • Comment removed

  • Please don't. I can't say much more, since I have no idea who you are, but please. Don't.

  • Very emotional. I liked it.

    --Aden

  • Not bad.

  • Amazing video... VIVA STAIND!!

  • **Word Bro**

  • Love the song but hate the video. One of the worst videos. I could of shot a better video with any random crack head.

  • Disturbed is better with harder songs but staind nails the slower ones

  • staind is king

  • Stop eating carbs.

  • Comment removed

  • the song is very meaning full. i have lost alot of friends to drugs. and there is hope u just have to beable to find the better person in ur self to have hope that u can stop doing drugs and have a better life. you are the only person who can truly stop what ur doing. ur actions speak louder then words. so use ur actions to find hope in urself!! i would know. i found hope!! and helped find hope for others who wanted to find hope as well!! there is hope,

  • my drug dealers never looked that suspicious.

  • lol

  • right? lolz a white hoodie is definetly NOT suspiciouse at all

  • Wow, this is a serious video. very deep. you did a great job.

  • hammer hart ...

  • this song hits to close to home for me.....ive found certain escapes in my life to be better than drugs but sometomes nothing feels better....nothing to be proud of i know and im not justifying my addictions. but the words to the chorus and the bridge are so damn true...

  • OMG that was a deep video. it made me think about alot of shit . and how this world is with all its drugs and how kids are using younger and younger

  • Cool!

  • Great video . especially the part with the dark hand very theatrical

  • there is no hope

  • i feel like their is no HOPE!!!! idk

    The disease cant ever touch you again

  • they can if you let/want them to. my dead relatives touch me sometimes, i dont mean in a miraculous way but when i feel like i have it shitty i think about those relatives of mien that suffered until their last breathe and i have nothign to complain about.

  • i think the point of the video is good. But it lacks angle changes like when shes walking out the door you could have her walking from behind then coming out of it from the other sided of the door, thats what i mean. anyways good video though

  • that was pretty good props

  • Great work!!! Too many of our people feel like they have no reason to live other than drugs. This must change.

  • Too hard and too real for you?? That's life.

  • good work =)

  • Great song and the video was so right.

  • que te jodan , el cantante es genial

  • great job.

    you hit it right on the nail.

  • You did a really great job with this video!

  • Staind - Open Your Eyes

  • Love the video! Staind rock!

    I'm an alternative rapper who speaks about real issues that teens face, I've made songs that deal with Anorexia, Self Harm, Alcohol addiction and lots more. If you get a chance to click on my name have a look at the video called Genevieve, its a song about a friend of mine who has Anorexia

  • it's about time someone did something about the daily problems teens face. u r a good person dont ever let an1 tell u otherwise

  • yeah man i agree totaly a full realist someone who does not see the hapyness but the things the happyness covers up ive sufferd alot in my life and this help me through i owe you one dude
