  • Great song. Kind of reminds me of The Glass Plastiks.

  • Hey guys, guess what.

    This song is amazing.

  • I love the build up in this song. it fucking rocks

  • and I'm not even gonna reply to j.s mill down there, cause this clearly wasn't a political debate, and his argument's fucking retarded anyway,lol

  • AngryEdric: You're an idiot.

    GTFO please.

  • dude you need to find a hobby. get off the computer lol

  • It's depressing as hell to me that we can't simply listen to the song and take it as we will. Why do we have to jump down the throats of people who interpret it differently? With maturity comes some semblance of mutual respect, or at least an attempt to listen to others. Most of these comments are simply embarassing, both to the poster and to those reading their self-indulgent, arrogant, nonsense.

    Incidentally, I love this song :)

  • ahah, look at this fucking white knight. Firstly your pretentious little comment here clearly established that you're a hypocrite by calling everyone else 'arrogant', and even though this filmclip is 'up to interpretation' like you all keep yammering about, will any of you people concede that in light of evidence of past filmclips baring a distinct similarity in theme and content (the kids in uniforms, 'unseen monsters') to other film clips in this genre that this MIGHT have been a hack job??

  • I'm pretentious? My good sir or ma'am, your comment defines the word. Also, I at least distinguished between "most" and "all". Your phrase "you people"....well, let's just say that you sound like a much greater hypocrite than I. Then again, I don't know you. Perhaps you simply enjoy stirring up controversy on Youtube amongst people you don't know and who don't care about you.

  • this song is amazing.

  • i want a glass box filled with water that i can just hang in. i mean, every time i go swimming i'll hang upside down with my feet pushing against the awning stuff that's on the siding of the pool, submerged in the water.

  • Jon nolan Was Better On Taking Back sunday

  • love it, i dotn get it :P

  • What exactly is the meaning of the lyrics in this song? Is it just up for interpretation?

  • and you people need to stop using the word 'amazing'.fuck's sake.

  • fuck you. If you think this song sucks then why don't you go write a good song???

    At least this band has an actual point of view on society today and is using music to express it.

  • Don't be an asshole,

    If you don't like this song or this band,

    Leave it the fuck alone.

  • its not about the sound its about the meaning douche bag. see thats the problem with you and all the other commies out their these days. you need a fast paced exhilarating beat to even get you hard. seriously get owned lolz i mean seriously if your on here to preach to the other so called "post emo" crap then plz be a little considerate of the fact that you suck as a human being. one more thing...DONT YOU EVER TELL US TO NOT SAY SOMETHING BITCH! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

  • buddy, you may be right that they don't really have a view of modern society, but a fuckin "new stalin" thing is a load of bullshit, first of all stalin slaughtered all who opposed him duumbass, so anyone, no matter how the dumb the mother fucker was, supported him and didn't piss him off was all right. secondly communism is one of the worst gov't systems to have ever existed, if America were to change it's gov't at all it should move closer to a republic.

  • whats the vid about!????

  • hahaha. for the longest time, i thuoght it was: shit fuck screaming" put your hands in the sky" but now i know its " big shot screaming" i need to get my ears checked LOL

  • their best song coming close to Existentialism on Prom Night!

    The video is strange very bizarre.

  • Italian...cool

  • anke io sn italianaaa! hai qst canzone??

  • No. Non la trovo..Adesso riprovo a cercarla. ;)

  • trovata!

  • yeah, John and Adam's voices sounded great together...

  • not bad not bad but shaun and john are just missing something from their music without adam. but both bands are doing great and their both really happy and still producing great music. so i guess thats all that matters :)

  • i know i love cute without the e because both together are amazing

  • the feel of this song is just amazing...

  • love this song =]

  • i'm very in love with this song!

  • i love this band.

    their lyrics are amazing.

    they're just.

    wow.

  • An awesome song, the build-up is fantastic and the lyrics are really powerful. I love the feel it has...

  • love the ending part.

    i want one of those hairy thingies for a pet.

  • I like watching the furbies smash everything

  • this is reminding me of the holocaust...i luv the song and the vidoe but not that it reminds me of the holocaust...

    <333

  • I think this song is about the holocaust

  • i like this alot

  • Thank god someone told me about this song

    I would have never heard of them otherwise

    I dont think anyone really knows them in england.

    I LOVE THIS SONG

    The video is amazing, the first time I heard it I was like oh its an okay song, then it builds up to the big ending, WOW

  • ditto.

  • Amazing!

  • I saw them live in Jax the other night, and this song made the entire performance. The slow build on a lot of their songs works, but sometimes it misses a little and makes me think some songs are too long. But their sound and quality are always there. The ending of this song is freaking awesome. It drinks the milkshake:)

  • maybe not girl

  • yeah. girls suck so much that they gave birth to all of us.

  • Yeah, cause ALL girls are like that, you know.

  • hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    <3

  • i love this video. *heart* straylight run

  • john is so hot =D

  • i love this song <3

  • big shot screaming,"put your hands in the sky," he says,"give it up boy,give it up or you're gonna die,you'll get a bullet in the back of the neck,in back of the neck right between the eyes."

  • This song is amazing.

    I haven't read 1984 in a few years but i'm pretty sure this is a direct reference to it, like Fiberoptic says. At 1:06-1:07 there is a blue-screen tv (symbolizing the telescreen watching them?). You can also see them in the background of 1:37-1:44.

    The "bullet in the back of the neck" is when they shoot anyone who knows too much information (near the ending of 1984, when he thinks they're going to shoot him while he's walking down the hallway).

  • Even the beginning can show it's relation to 1984, "tear it out of these open pages" telling how the main character in 1984 knows the truth. When he wrote it down, he had to hide the book he wrote it in (if I remember correctly) and he wants to "tear it out" because he needs to hide it from the thought police.

    The "millions of men with blank faces" was everyone else that was brainwashed by big brother, etc.

  • (Forgot to link these, oh well).

    Another thing, the fact that they're trapped in the glass "aquariums" is because they know the truth, so they're imprisoned (in a way) from all the others, and they're trying to get to everyone else to tell them, but no one seems to listen/notice. Towards the end, everone is getting taken away, things are being destroyed, and all they can do is watch.

  • how do u explain the sasquatch guys?

  • Thought police maybe? I'm not completely sure.

  • this is a CRAZY video

  • great song! love it!!

  • Deep lyrics and amazing music. 5/5. amazing.

  • wait..i thought this song was about like...army guys...

    ???

  • i luv this song and i luv this video but i cant figure out what its trying to put out. is it even trying to say something or am i just thinking too hard and not actually enjoying this vid/song. idk :/

  • I love this song. A great direct reference to "1984" by Orwell. Even the video has some things that could be related to the book.

  • And I'm pretty sure they're named after one of my favorite books, Neuromancer. :)

  • john left TBS because of musical differances

  • if u look back at some of taking back sundays older videos, JOHN was the hot one, not adam..lol..but i think TBS was better with john b/c of the songs he wrote....but HONESTLY freds voice was a little more different and recognizable..but freds gone too..wow

    i like johns voice when he really screams and sings like that all into it!!

    love straylight..too bad they arent more successful

  • I remember seeing this video on Fuse and I loved them ever since.

  • seriously love this song, just discovered this band thanks to the guy in the music store

  • these guys are phenomenal live!! ohhhh i love them so much.

  • John Nolan+ Sweeeet Beard= SHMEXINESS!!!!

  • lovuty, your way back in time, john left a few years ago and they got Fred Mascherino to take his place, however Fred just recently left TBS and they're looking for someone else, Matt Rubano took the other guys spot (cooper) i think.

  • this videos awesome, kind of scary too.

  • awesome song......really gots a mysterious vibe to it plus those big furry things are very creepy looking.......awesome.

  • ok im all mixed up...john did the back vocals 4 TBS??? nd did he joined that band bfore or after leaving TBS? nd will TBS continue doing their stuff or the band is completly destroyed cuz 2 ppl left?

  • John Nolan left the band to create Straylight Run. He's been gone for a while nd TBS is still together.

  • wtf is going on in this video

  • It's so well put together I love it.

    :]

  • what more can i say about this song..It has to be one of my favorite song/video put together of all time.

  • what an intense song

  • i lvoe them so much

    their music is so good!

  • this vid is legend

  • put that bulllet in adams !eye because he forgot you.

  • Second fave song. ^^

  • too bad the beasts remind me of the book 'where the wild things are'--Skooter

  • you know why I love this video? the slow motion camera and the guys in the water. everything's done slowly--backs up the song perfectly, just wow. singing under water lol, that's creative. I actually don't know these guys, I first saw this video few months ago and LOVED the song and vid. hey, if u guys love this song, I HIGHLY recommend "atlantic" by Keane. it ends fairly differently from this one, but same thing w/ the cool rhythm and melodies. I personally LOVE atlantic's ending.

  • awesome, i love it...

    its so perfect.

  • oh this is just about the evil aliens that eat children.

    They're gone now

    things are getting better

    things wont be perfect until, I'm president though.

  • favorite song.<3

  • i love this song it kix ass its soo kool

  • oki tell me if im worng.. but when i listen to this song, i usually thing its about war.... lol tell me if im wrong:D and if you dont get me ill epxlain later lol

  • Those monster things are freaky looking. Love the song though!

  • i think that's the point...

  • yeah.

  • so i have a question.. this nolan guy was in tbs then what happened how come he's in this band now?

  • because the lead singer and him had musical differences

    and supportively the lead singer of tbs was doin nolans sister

  • The lead singer off tbs and Nolan had to many differences in styles in music

    and they also said that Nolan left with guitarist because the lead singer was having sex with Nolan's sister

  • I thought John Nolan slept with Jesse Lacey (Brand New) 's girlfriend. :O

  • adam was dating johns sister and cheated on her or something

  • I feel like the second half of this song is actually from another song.. maybe 10 years old or so. anyone else get that impression? i cant find it anywhere though... maybe its just familiar

  • ya...i'm kinda gettin that vibe too

  • Sorry to say to ya all, Straylight Run usually IS emo music. But that's not really an insult. Most REAL emo music is awesome.

  • i agree..i love emo music, it' awesome! but this song isn't really emo

  • i love this song =)

  • STRAYLI STRAYL!!
