  • Actually, this song follows the story of Faust almost verbatim at times. Which I guess would make it have some religious ties in some ways. I can't imagine that its just a coincidence that it follows the story so closely, so it had to be on purpose. It seems like he took the legend of Faust and put his own spin on it and tied it to his personal experiences.

  • "Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?

    One who would not deny lovers?"

    That right there shows that this song is not anti-god, but rather about mental illness and possibly religious fanaticism. When its talking about destroying her God, I think he means destroying the source of her obsession/illness.

  • i think the idea that a god who'd allow such pain in an existence doesn't need praise. they are making a point about the fact that maybe we are wrong and the fact people do this and kill there babies for all reasons. maybe god doesn't exist or does. but to worship him is a dumb idea for some.

  • @trancelover96 Life is a beautiful thing, but the people in it are twisted. He's singing about his wife killing their child and then killing herself, I don't see how you can exactly make that cheerful.

  • stfu and enjoy fucktards!!!!!!!!!

  • Yes I would if I could destroy your cat.....

  • this is a beautiful song but the lyrics are pretty twisted

  • Stupid commercials.

  • If we can look beyond all the arguments that are going on here, this song did so much for the band, and to not be able to appreciate what a piece of art it is would be a sin. It's so much more than a simple "metal song" It's fucking art. The vocals, the composition, the breakdown, the melody and the drums. Seriously. If all you can look at with this song its metal factor, you're a fucking moron. This is so much more than that.

  • This song goes to the guy that got the rapture date wrong!

  • This band is still so beautiful to listen to.

  • i <3 the thumbs up thumbs down game! : )

  • Horny toads

  • The hardy show season 1 theme

  • The greatest rock song of the 2000's. Thumbs up to agree!

  • @Quatermain98526 im going to give you a thumbs down, just because you asked for a thumbs up. if people agree they will thumbs up, you dont need to ask.

  • @insanemethod1 And here comes your thumbs down for being a douche.

  • @Quatermain98526 go ahead. like i give a fuck about a thumbs down on youtube........

  • @insanemethod1 You got it, pissy.

  • @Quatermain98526 i take his side he's not a douche you are for wanting a top rated comment, granted the song is awesome

  • omg this song is so brutal, i love it. its so powerful. it makes me wanna feel all serious and angry at the same time. :))

  • Half the comments I see are about banning religion and that these people are messed up in the head. You don't ban religion because some person thinks they hear Jesus. It doesn't matter how many people go Bible-freak, if you compare it to the people that find comfort and miracles. And this band is like 90% of all emo bands, and it just sings stories and feeling and life. It's not messed up to sing what you can emote to! This has all been in my arrogant opinion, so take from it what you will.

  • @MissLadyrobin I don't agree that they are like 90% of the emo bands, because at least with HURT, their message can be cryptic at times as opposed to confusing. Just my opinion, too.

  • A lot of people don't even have a clue these guys even exist. I think they are good to listen to when I've had a fucked up day and need to unwind with a cold one.

  • @fbrdj my comment was actually meant for people whos said things like "You see this is why religion should be abolished because people can say God told them to do it." If they didn't blame god it then they would plame their parents or the government or genes. I was jjust confused why religion would be the ultimate scapegoat for the problems caused by craziness. BTW this song is f#$@ing awesome.

  • fucking gives me shivers

  • Wow some of you children actually think this band believes what it sings about. I guess that thought never occurred. That's like all you idiots thinking Avenged 7X is an Anti-god band. There is a cross on the tombstone in the video for Seize the Day. IF they were really anti-god like some of you think they would not have the cross which is SO offensive. Boy, I'm so angry at that dead guy from 2000 years ago i just wanna scream. Waah waah wa

  • @ZZDrocker avenged sevenfold is blatantly christian in it's imagery, and no one but fools think otherwise. btw having atheistic lyrics doesn't necessarily mean your anti-god, and any way this song is about over-obsession in religion.

  • @fbrdj I kinda hope you're joking about avenged sevenfold and christianity. Their name may be taken from the bible, but thats the only real relation between the two that I see. Maybe I am a fool, but somehow I dont think their skull based imagery is anything close to christian

  • @blathermann1 The vast majority of their songs contain Judeo-Christian references, such as the ideas of heaven and hell

  • @fbrdj yes there are a good amount of their songs that have the ideas of heaven and hell in it, but that in no way means that they have christian ideals or beliefs. In beats and the harlot music video they are dressed up like demons and have a lesbian scene in it... nothing all that christian about it if you ask me

  • @fbrdj Christian in imagery, yes, but they aren't a Christian band, and no one in the band is a complete practicing Christian. Not trying to say that you're wrong, but its not like they're trying to put the 'word of God' out there lol. Whether you're Christian or not (I'm not), any religious text has art to it, and makes for a good musical direction. For instance, Metallica has drawn lyrical inspiration from Buddhism. Doesn't mean they're a Buddhist band

  • @fbrdj The singers parents were catholic extremists

  • @fbrdj By the sounds of it.. It sounds like it is actually Post-Partum Psychoses.. Which would afflict the mother after birth causing her to "hear the voice of Jesus"... Of course everyone loves to bash organized religion by using people that have mental illness... I find it hillarous... If I spelled anything wrong.. My bad.

  • @NinjaSkittlez Well, your guess is as good as anyone's, but it looks like we all have the same basic idea :)

  • @NinjaSkittlez its about that bitch who fuckin drowned her kids a while back i dont remember where it was but she said that she heard the voice of jesus tellin her to do it

  • @8608malachi Now, which one was that? There've been too many to count.

  • never read the lyrics damn people are so weird

  • and if a few politicians were to commit murder should we just disband all of government?

  • @MyTurtle92 I would agree with you, except no one claims they heard the voice of the President telling them to kill their newborn baby. Or we nuked Japan because we BELIEVED that kittens wouldn't go to Heaven if we didn't. I don't look highly of anyone that SWEARS that their God was actually telling them to do something. Even if it's a positive action. Nothing good can come from unquestionable loyalty to voices in your head.

  • This is just another reason why religion shouldn't exist. Yeah it comforts the old people, but just look how many people have claimed what they did was for their god. So many people died because of religion.

  • I felel like playing blitz the league 2 when hearing this song, don't know why.

  • This song, is just pure awesomeness.

  • This is such a deep fucking song... if this actually happened to somebody the vocalist knew then I feel really fucking sorry for him.

  • have they hit a million listens yet?

  • AMAZING!! Been a fan since 06.

    <3

  • @KessaSmith01 Same here. Wish I had every EP, re-release, everything by them. I only have Volumes 1 & 2 & Goodbye To The Machine.

  • this song makes my heart beat fast, like falling in love.

  • DUDE SOUNDS LIKE IF DISTURBED AND TOOL HAD SEX AND THIS IS WHAT THEY PRODUSED

  • @slayer16able Tool's singer + Disturbed's instruments

  • @slayer16able Fucking lol

  • @slayer16able If Disturbed didn't suck.

  • @IVIaggotx not a big fan of disturbed

  • @slayer16able *produced.

  • @slayer16able That just made my day.

  • @slayer16able you mean if this were the baby they had that was strangled

  • and a good song i played it no joke 10 times in a row in my r.e lesson xD everything was silent until i started singing without knowing this fucked song but 1 girl in my class knew then song a sung it with me AWESOME =]

  • wow is all can say about these lyrics

  • its fucked in the head xD

  • This song feels just like home...peaceful...  -.-

  • Beautiful.

  • Personally if I heard a soothing voice saying it was okay to kill my child and it claimed to be God... I would look up and tell him to burn in the hell he created.

  • @LetsRevolt1

    Does it bug you so bad that an intelligent argument is being made on the Internet that you have to try and start a stupid heated argument to stop it?

  • welppp 9/11 had 0 to do with religion...since our own american government was the cause of the attacks. What a perfect reason for us to invade a country with millions of gallons of oil. open ur eyes, and quit listenin to the news

  • @LetsRevolt1 actually 9/11 had a major deal with religion buddy, it was mainly religion and culterization. it was one because of a thing known as westernization. which is the spreading of culture from the americas. and those guys didnt want that, and it included religion, ways of life, etc etc.

  • @corinian67 why dont you take a look at a movie called "loose change" buddy.

  • @corinian67 You're right, but LetsRevolt1 just threw it out of the blue.

  • This is the first Youtube page I've come to with an actual debate (NOT an adolescent pissing contest). Just goes to show you that most music these days is almost worthless if this is the only song that gives people reason to discuss things maturely, & not call ANYONE a 'fag'.

  • Last verse of this song scares me :/

  • Pfft...she claims Jesus told her to kill her baby?

    Yeah right, that was just a lame excuse for being some phsycho botch.

  • @RainWave13 i agree

  • @RainWave13

    Less than eloquent wording, but actually a fairly accurate assessment.

    In a non-religiously oriented group, hearing any voice is something you would seek treatment for. The fact that she was religious and attributed it to some type of divine instruction really was likely no more than an outlet. If she had said the voice was "Elvis" or "Santa", she would have been taken to a physiologist. We are sadly too accepting of people 'hearing voices' if they hide it in faith.

  • @Digimaul I know this is old, but in my opinion, it doesn't matter whether or not she was an Atheist or not, if you heard a soothing voice in your head, telling everything was alright, and that everything you hear about Christianity was true, some might seek medical help, and some would see it as a sign that their life is special and follow the voice. Also in my opinion, I think religion is used incorrectly nowadays, religion is supposed to give you an answer, not a way, of life.

  • @kihana12

    That's exactly my point though, there shouldn't be any situation where 'hearing voices' or other symptoms of psychosis is something which is ignored or encouraged. The metaphorical "I hear the voice of god" which is literally meant as "I feel like I should do good things" is a good thing... that's a dramatized version of a conscious and we all have that. However, anyone who means that in the literal sense needs treatment as it is a very real sign of mental instability.

  • @Digimaul True, but if they're at the state where they hear voices, then there might not be enough time to get help. I for one have never heard any voices in my head, but I consider that a voice sounds surprisingly knowing, and whatever it says makes sense at the time, so there isn't anything weird or unhealthy about the voice to the person it's talking to, making them want to do what it says.

  • wunderschönes lied!

  • The beginning of this song is SO FUCKING BAD ASS!!! great lyrics and overall awesome song!

  • How could anyone NOT like this song? Its so sad.. I mean.. Its about a mother who claims Jesus told her to kill her baby.. Sure, but... Alot of religious nuts do shit like this on a daily basis, yet they want to dis-enguine them and say they were "Possessed by the Devil". It isn't "the devil", people. Its what religion drives people to do.

  • @Jalozyin Religion does NOT drive people to do things of the such.

  • @shaunamilner

    HAAAAAAA! Are you kidding? Religion is probably one of the largest driving forces of killing, corruption, and murder throughout history. Crusades, Cleansing, Sects, Segregation. While there are minimal community benefits, overall it DOES drive people to do things unspeakable. 9/11? Ring a bell? Jihad? Ring any bells?

    

  • @00300odyssey

    I would no more directly attribute a person's religion causing them to be violent than I would blame atheism for every murder not committed in the name of a deity. Trying to lay a blanket claim about all members of a group based on the actions of a few doesn't help either "Side" to understand the problems source.

    Don't misunderstand, I'm an atheist myself. I'm simply saying you need to direct your outrage at the source. Attacking groups simply makes individuals defensive.

  • @Digimaul I feel that laying a "blanket claim" is an acceptable statement. Im not saying all religious members kill people because of their beliefs. I just feel that when it comes to a radical standpoint, which many sects of a religion like Islam are turning to, it leads to nothing good. Instead it only promotes violence, hate, and promotes an unthinking majority that follow the guidelines of an outdated book.

    P.S. Thank you for a legit response. Not just a Fuck off or something youtube like

  • @00300odyssey

    The vast majority, and I mean well over 99.9%, of people are not driven to any hostile actions by their faith. If it was a direct relation you would expect a higher ratio. The source issue is that there is a minority of people in leadership positions who take advantage of people who are desperate for meaning.

    To put it another way, if an atheist were worked up and told religion was terrible for years, and killed someone, the problem isn't that he was an atheist.

  • @00300odyssey

    Terrible lack of space in these, it's like debating on twitter...

    Anyway, in that situation, if someone came off saying "Typical atheist behavior" wouldn't that be totally skipping over the source of the issue, and simply causing an argument between two people who for all purposes SHOULD be agreeing on the problem?

    Likewise, the issues which cause terror attacks, or religious hate crimes, are not addressed by saying "That's just how they are". Causes must be addressed.

  • @shaunamilner

    Untreated and re-enforced madness does. In the case of this song, the woman being discussed was obviously 'crazy', but it was masked behind her faith. You see real life cases (spanked to death for god case recently, children killed in exorcisms, J-Witnesses refusing blood for kids), where actions which would have been warning signs to a non-religious person were ignored as it being part of their faith and accepted.

    There is more to it of course, but I'm out of space. :)

  • @Jalozyin "On a daily basis"? You're letting your bigotry show.  Sad.

  • song deserves more views.

  • i love this song and the gummy bear song is not better

  • Gummy bear song is way better.... the fuck?!??!

    No it's not

  • To everyone that keeps replying to my month old comment, I was on my iPod, I just recently learned it doesn't show the "Related videos" text box. I'm not a huge idiot, I just had new unexplored technology. I know what "Featured" means. I'm not a simpleton, i assure you.

  • @kihana12

    Just gonna say that there are multiple featured videos out there, so your comment still stands - it's still pretty weird that they had the Gummy Bear video be the featured one for this video. Usually they try to make them relate to each other at least a little . . . 0_0

  • @SebastianandCiel I know, and when I got on my laptop and look at it, it was on "Suggested videos" Why? Also, WHY IS THE GUMMY BEAR SONG FEATURED IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

  • wow these guys sound a little like Tool, and i fucking like it! i love this song and this band!

  • Why did I only find this song yesterday? Damn I've been missing out

  • @sammy1233214 You really have. Hurt is an absolutely fantastic band, and this song is one of their best.

  • @sammy1233214 You know it! It's been around since at LEAST 2006. Ferking awesome!!!

  • i love this song

    

  • This is intense.

  • the live need an rapture!

  • Casey Anthony.

  • It always gives me chills when he says hes horrified at what she was going to do as she walks into their childs room...and then shivers as she strangles it...but it's one of my favorite songs nevertheless, and inspired me to start writing a book...HURT FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He thinks he is damned and of her god told her to kill her children then he wants to destroy that god and burn with her... this was a real situation... Super crazy

  • This song is about a woman who killed her kids and said god told her to.... Untill your rapture falls to pieces...

  • it's kind of hard to tell what this song means. in 1 way it sound like it supports gay rights, and in another way, it sounds like it's about hating religion 0.o

  • @grandtheftauto5588

    To me, it sounds like his girlfriend killed their baby. .w.

    And he kinda went.....yeah.

  • @CynnabunFaith if that i it, i wonder if it's metaphorically for abortion

  • @grandtheftauto5588

    True...

    But he also states that it looked like him.

  • Comment removed

  • Best song evar! I listen to it every day. My friends know this song as the Bioshock song. Has anybody else noticed how they link up besides me?

  • How does this song have 300k Views o.o.....i think its missing a few 0's Hurt FTW

  • One of the most underrated songs ever!

  • i haven't listened to this song in years and i involuntarily started singing along XD

  • 22 people had their rapture fall to peices.

  • The verse beginning "So she walked in the baby's room" makes me go cold every time. I love this song

  • @TheOriginalJellicle yea no shit she lilled the baby

  • such an emotional song. I love it.

  • wow. i love this song. its the theme song of The Hardy Show!! :D LOVE U ENIGMA!!

  • Does anyone (Religious or not) now what the singer was talking about? Cause if you did you'd realize it wasn't all about religion, more of the singers experience with death, and "God's" will... That's it, this isn't a page for arguing... Just a page for talking about music.

  • Music saved my life so much more than any religion ever could

  • Comment removed

  • Wow this is really uplifting.... NOT! If it sounds worldly, the world will like it. Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind....That's in the book of Romans. There is good news, it is refered as the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Read it & you won't have to be depressed & listen to this kind of music.

  • @tyrannynotever It's what the music industry promotes. Great music with depressing, hateful lyrics. They hate you, if you love God, & would rather believe in anything but that. I've heard all about aliens, devils, other dimensions, a few other worldly gods, and that we, ourselves are the gods, but only one of those can be true.

    God is Love, & Jesus saves. That is good news.

  • @RageAgainstRustyCage fuck off with your christian preaching!

  • @WillyPhister Sorry. Was I preaching?

    Actually, I was replying to someone, and you read my comment, and apparently was 'touched' by it.

    Don't hate us for our beliefs.

  • @tyrannynotever You Sir, You Believe In God. Cool, Do Not Come In Here Posting Your HATRED Towards The Music. That's Part Of Religion Right? Acceptance? I Have Read It And Even Besides Revelations It Is More Depressing Then This. Depressing In The Fact That So Many People Could Follow So Blindly. Now I Am Not One Who Is Against Religion, But People Like You Piss Me Off. It Is Because People Like You Create The Elitism. Fuck Off.

  • @tyrannynotever YES MASTER!

    ps eat a grenade

  • are they a christian band?

  • @Grunger19 no

  • Such and awesomely dark song

  • Had this song in my head all day yesterday.

  • I put this song just for today's occasion.

  • @yoeasypunk

    You and me both.

  • This is the perfect song to listen too on May 21st at 6pm

  • Why is the gummy bear song in "Related Videos"? Just.... Why?

  • @kihana12 i wondered the same thing...

  • @kihana12 Atleast it's not Miley Cirus....

  • @rageagaintstheNWO So true!

  • @kihana12 well if you and the 43 people that thumbsed up your comment could read youd see it says "featured video" lol

  • @kihana12 that's called a feature video it means they have by request and payment got it in the featured video section for a certain amount of time

  • @kihana12 Because it's youtube's featured video? ...so it will be at the top of every related video' list until it's replaced? Seems like a pretty obvious answer there bud

  • May 21

  • "If this must be, then burn with me. Anything...just don't leave." That part always gets me.

  • The Hardy Show theme song :) love it!! <3

  • this song makes think soooo much....i miscarried, and it is my fault... me and my ex loved this song....even while i was pregnant ...idk this song means alot to mee

  • is this a christian rock band?

  • @farewellmisery No , I dont think so.

  • @farewellmisery This song is actually about him hating a woman who he had a child with. She found religion and thought the baby didn't belong in this world because they weren't married so she kills it. So, not a religious song at all. And definitely not a religious band.

  • @mydawghatesme Sorry to say you're wrong, but this about J. Lorens mother killing his brother when he was a child.

  • @bigcleatus "She swore she heard the voice of Jesus

    Telling her it was wrong to keep it

    And one more thing, it looked like me

    Back when it breathed

    Rest in peace

    Until the rapture comes to meet us"

    Obviously, at this point he is hinting that it was his child.

  • @mydawghatesme omg as if i started reading this as this part was playing man what a quwincidence ^^

  • @bigcleatus Dawghatesme is right.

  • Sometimes when he screams he sounds exactly like Lynn Strait! Whoa, goosebumbs...

  • good song

  • I love Hurt! My friend introduced me to Alone with the Sea, and ever since, I can't stop listening to it!!

    8D

  • @paedodickhead lol idk. idc. whatever she has, she's nuts

  • this song gives me goosebumps everytime. I LOVE IT!!!

  • @CrypticAngel92 nice nice. if you think this song is amazing, look up falls apart or overdose. better songs. :) way way better

  • @benmoser11

    I know XD I have the "goodbye to the machine" album. Hurt is one of my favorite bands... :)

  • @CrypticAngel92 goodbye to the machine is a great album :) im lookin for their other ones though. because they are way better. but goodbye to the machine is still amazing :) all of hurt's songs are amazing. oh and their song "alone with the sea" is their best song by far :)

  • One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard..

  • dude its like apc/system/disturbed/ personal life experiences mixed all in one. awesome vocals, very well put together. kick ass i like it!

  • My science teacher played this song for us and now I cant get it outta my head!!

  • @koolkeike13 Your science teacher has good taste.

  • i go to theodore high school and its all about screamo music or country and here i am listening to hurt and no one has a clue who in the hell they are but if they were to listen to them they would love them. One of the greatest bands of all time in my opinion

  • @samsbayou220 not an opinion bro... it's a fact XD

  • just to clarify to those who dont know or cant understand, this song is about the a woman who blindly follows religion and kills her child because "Jesus told her to"
