Citizen Soldier - Hand Me Down (Official Lyric Video)

The only Band with not a Single Bad Song Every Single Song is a masterpiece.

[@sparrow_moon1110]

You are 100% right, none of the songs ive listened to feel like im being misunderstood. I feel like im being called out AND ITS A WILD FEELING but at the same time it means that Citizen Solider actually understands what we go through, the battles we fight, and the wars waged. This band is the only one that understands, honestly (Favorite HAS to be never good enough and face to face)

[@josephmcfadden2847]

Starset says otherwise

[@joshuaadkins9820]

I get they aren't for everyone, but 5 finger death punch is also a band of this caliber. I don't think I've ever not liked one of their songs.

[@YOYTClaw]

i feel like itcomes a lot down to taste, but if you deny that these songs are true masterpieces, you are indeed denying the truth, even if you dont like them

[@joshuaadkins9820]

​@@YOYTClaw As someone who likes citizen soldier, its an incredibly bias'd opinion to say "if you don't agree with me you're denying truth". Its fine if you like the songs, love them even. But it takes more than a handful of peoples opinions on the internet to determine weather a band crafts masterpieces. To give out some of my own critic, the sentence structure in some of his verses, interferes with the flow of the song. making it sound more like he's singing a story from a book than crafting a song to tell a story.

I'm not sure I can personally help, and its unfortunate that I can't just be everyone's friend, but I'm sure there are other people like me. And I'm not sure if you're open to this message, but I hope it makes you feel better; over two thousand years ago, God sent Jesus into the world and had him die for everyone's sins, including yours. So no matter what happens and what you do, I hope you'll know that he loves you.

You may feel like it's going to stay this way forever, you being "inferior" to others. But I can promise you, that it will get better. Through all of that handing down, you are bound to find the right people who deserve you and will stay at your side for as long as life allows it. Don't lose hope 💜💜 Oh and one last thing.

Y'know, whenever someone's hurting inside or has issues they usually come to me. They know they can count on me to keep their secret. But sometimes I get so occupied trying to help other people, that I forget sometimes I need help too. Sometimes I try too. Sometimes I actually share something with someone but it always, ALWAYS, backfires on me. The poster approach on how to deal with something is to tell someone. But life has shown me that the best way to do that is lock it up inside as much as you possibly can. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the right to complain. The people who come to me have issues so much worse than mine. But it's weird, the people on the internet make me feel like I belong more than anyone in real life ever has. I feel like it should be the other way around but, for me it's true. I definitely feel "like an afterthought no one cares to understand" but music, people on the internet make me feel like more than that. For that I thank everyone small soul who cared enough to at least try to help someone who's hurting. Whether that some person was me or someone else. Edit: I can’t ya’ll are so supportive 😭😭😭 I hope all of you feel better soon

[@gamerx8145]

You dont need to see the size of your problem. Big or small problem, it is your problem. Feeling what you feel is just being honest to yourself. And I understand how you feel. I let people say what they want and try to help, but anytime I tried to be helped, I got a lecture or a critic. Nothing that could make me better. So I closed myself to everyone. Even toy friends and family. The part of me I still show is very small.

[@emilystogner422]

I know the feeling

[@melody39156]

I know the feeling, I've gotten to the point where I don't open up anymore because I know it will burden people around me. Instead, I focus on them. Always gonna be there for them even if they try to push me away and say “Why should I tell you my problems when you don't open up yourself?” and I always respond “because you're more important than I am.” they still open up in the end and im glad I can help them.

[@humatulcansalous1527]

I know how you feel, people come to me and even my best friend who is my crush. I am trying my best to get over him and be a friend. We talk to each other and used to go deep into the conversation, I love helping people...people who know me, always have someone to go to. But I never have anyone to go to. And yes people have gone through worse than I have but I don't wanna seem like I'm steping all over them..

[@theunknownone_]

"I open up. I get replaced." Every... single... time... Once again, another song which resonates strongly with me. These lyrics describe near-perfectly how my life has been. I never can seem to find a point to do much outside of the digital world as everything feels like it's more-or less staying the same and going nowhere ("What good's survival? When everything feels final?"). These songs, from the sole band I listen to these days, are the one connection to the real world I have that, despite all my running on that lonely road, actually makes me feel like I have a home.

[@miriamk5571]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through that, and I completely understand.

As someone who’s been bullied for 8 years for being “weird” this song speaks volumes, I’m 18 now and I’m not bullied anymore but my teenage years were wasted on wondering what was wrong with me, on why I wasn’t good enough. This song is very relatable

I have been there so I know exactly what you mean I was bullied 7 years straight which made me loose all basic emotions for months and I had to learn to feel them again which took years.

[@Marysmith-kh7dt]

Loved this song. Made me cry though. Especially the line that says " just an afterthought that no one cares to understand. Wish I could see it in myself why I'm impossible to love why I'm not enough." Have felt this way since my dad walked out when I was 5 (I'm 45 now). Been abandoned and replaced so many times that these thought have been constant throughout my life. And just when I think I'm getting a handle on them I get 'reminded' somehow that im never enough. This song really hit me hard. But it's a great song as always. Well done guys.

It's beautiful when artists let pain be their muse . Many people think that sadness shouldn't get much attention , that you're strong only if you deal with it silently . Thanks to Citizen Soldier i feel less alone .

[@Minileaika]

I’ve always told myself “the strong identify, feel, and understand their emotions” Because if you can’t identify them, you can snap at someone you love and not realize it. If you don’t feel them, you’re doomed to repeat harm. And if you don’t understand them, someone can manipulate you easier. Because 9/10, your feelings of “sadness” or “anger” is actually something else entirely (you can feel “sad” or “angry" when your friends leave you out, but you’re more “hurt” that they didn’t want to play/hang out for one example). No one else seemed to understand that though. Artists are so important for the populace's MH, because they understand. They've been tormented, and they have this gift of expression that we as an audience can connect to. It's a gift to be able for us to connect to them too; so they know they're loved and appreciated! A beautiful relationship.

This is exactly how I feel. In primary I had no friends and was just alone all the time. people pretended to be my friend and care even though I knew they don't. Now I'm in highschool and I'm getting constantly mocked and bullied for something I like. This song is literally the same words going on in my head. I do have suicidal thoughts and my family doesnt know. My mum will just say "You don't have depression." She doesnt know what I'm feeling. I feel worthless and a burden all the time. All the time I think: Would anyone care about me if they knew what was going on in my head? Would anyone notice if I just disappeared tomorrow? I only have 6 friends and 9 online friends. But music is my top number 1 friend. Its just comforting. I was introduced to your music with the song Would Anyone Care. Your music is basically my life. Thank you. Thank you so much.

I know you've been hurt. I know it's selfish, But please stay alive.' Maybe you guys are soldiers from God to help people who are at war with Mental Health to go through it. Thank you so much Citizen Soldier. :)

Much love to you 💜

Lyric Have you ever felt so lost within? Like you don't even belong in your own skin Like you're the broken puzzle piece That doesn't fit in anywhere 'Cause no-one cares So many nights I lie awake Wondering why nobody stays I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I open up, I get replaced Like who I am is a mistake I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I've been running on this lonely road But no matter where I go I'm never home Some days I'd rather be anyone but who I am Just an afterthought that no-one cares to understand Wish I could see it in myself Why I'm impossible to love Why I'm not enough So many nights I lie awake Wondering why nobody stays I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I open up, I get replaced Like who I am is a mistake I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I've been running on this lonely road But no matter where I go Do I choose denial? Embrace this downward spiral? It gets so hard to face the truth When your reality's a noose What good's survival When everything feels final? There's nothing quite like this abuse Of feeling like I have no use Stuck in a life no-one would choose So many nights I lie awake Wondering why nobody stays I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I open up, I get replaced Like who I am is a mistake I'm just a hand me down I'm just a hand me down I've been running on this lonely road But no matter where I go I'm never home

[@DeafKitty]

I never feel I'm home anywhere. I'm always replaced. this is a great song.

[@wolffsilverclaw2987]

"there is nothing quite like this abuse, of feeling that I have no use" I was only useful to others as long as they could use me. The moment I was no longer useful, I got tossed like like I didn't exist. So now even the most minor of mistakes makes me feel that my usefulness is gone, that I'm going to get replaced and tossed aside again.

[@CitizenSoldier]

We hear you 💜

[@miriamk5571]

I hope that you'll always know that you aren't useless, and I'm very sorry that the people in your life keep being selfish. Its unfortunately very human for people to think about themselves and hurt others. But, there are people out there who won't just use you. I hope you find them

[@whitpuff]

WOW.. If I could have a Ghost writer for the story of my life... You are the writer.. Your music blows me away. THANK YOU

“So many nights I lie awake wondering why nobody stays “hit super hard

[@darylwhittle8116]

This song reminds me of someone I was introduced only a handful of months ago. She's a good person, but very troubled and locked in her own mind and past trauma, and honestly, all I can think of, is how I can help her see that she is worth being cared about, and that she's not always alone, or always going to be betrayed and hurt by the people she opens up to. I shared this song with her while listening to it, because hopefully something as profound as your music can reach her and help her see more value in herself. Love the music as always. So heartfelt and sincere, and it shows from the support and love both given and received. Keep up the great work guys =)

[@CitizenSoldier]

Thanks for sharing Daryl 💜

[@ARC-0606]

Your friend reminds me of myself because I do have a hard time opening due to someone shutting my feelings of depression down and at the time my youngest sister was going through cancer treatment and of course the "friend" is like oh you're overreacting be a big girl and deal with it. Like huh? My sister was dying and that's what you think I should do. After that I tend to lie about how I feel to people face to face but online I can open up better. But yeah I went on a bit of a tangent sorry about that I tend to do that a lot.

[@darylwhittle8116]

@@ARC-0606 It's no worries =) I'm glad you have some medium in which you can open up and still feel safe and secure in yourself, even if there is some kind of anonymity associated with it, it is still a form of coping, and it's helped me a lot too. =)

[@ARC-0606]

@Daryl whittle plus another medium is my poetry everyone says my poetry is god-tier but I don't think so then again I'm very insecure about it because it's my outlook like someone's getting a look into my soul

[@mikeydiesel98]

I've been going through a rough patch with work and school lately and the lyrics of this song really hit me close to home because it expressed the loneliness I have been feeling recently almost to a tee. Hearing this music makes me feel less alone and at least helps me acknowledge that I am not the only person going through this in life. Thank you for this!

[@CitizenSoldier]

Stay strong friend 💜 Glad the music helps

[@kylewhitten3471]

"I've been running on this lonely road but no matter where I go I'm never home" is the line that speaks to me the most. Every song you guys record, speaks to the hearts of your fans and our hearts listen ❤️

[@cheyenneforbes]

this song is all me, and what I feel all the time, Listen too it all night all the time as it makes me feel like me and happy

[@imabobsbrain9208]

I'm fighting against depression and anxiety since 2018. Your songs are like a mirror where I see myself. Everything you sing I feel. But please, all the people who are like this: DON'T STOP FIGHTING. DON'T SURRENDER Even you know you will fall again, STAND UP. For me life is a cruel game where simply I don't know how to play. I see how people make big progress and I'm at the beginning. Stucked. Waiting a day for the night and a night for the day. Feeling nothing for me has sense anymore. But I'm still here.

[@REALdominogaminggrounds]

Somehow, your songs always speak to us folks down here in the comments. And for that, I feel the greatest gratitude--even if I can't show that on my face.

Much love to you Frederica 💜

[@lillianastorm6985]

"there's nothing quite like this abuse of feeling like I have no use" was the line that stood out to me for this song. You guys hit it home once again. Thank you for the beautiful music you provide, and being there for those who need it 💜

[@lilezzy__]

It's been almost 8 months that I lost my mom,I don't get any support from my dad or from my relatives. I am by my own dealing with panic attack,anixety etc. feels like I'll lose this fight but whenever I listen to these beautiful songs,I don't feel alone. Feels like,you guys read my mind and feeling what I feel these days... it's a shame that,dad isn't supporting me he's busy with his new "wife" and I am here trying to survive for my mom. Believe me,if you guys weren't here I would be already dead. Thanks for these beautiful songs... all of them makes me feel like I am not alone and I can keep going on.

I got introduced to Citizen Soldier through the song Would anyone care? Ever since then I've loved every single one of their songs. This song hits different every time I listen to it

This is phenomenal!! I love the lyrics, the message, just everything about this song!! I can’t wait to see what your creative brain comes up with next!!

Appreciate that Kindra 💜 More music on the way

[@amirhamzah5678]

"No matter where I go, I'm never home" Been feeling this for awhile. Got a place to go back but felt like you're homeless.

[@TheTealDragon]

as a former foster kid, this hits hard. much love to everyone who is feeling this way- one day you'll find a home

[@heatherspiritriderWizard101]

The most heart breaking moment is when you realize your entire existence could relate to a song. Like some people say I’m strong, I have a heart of gold, a caring soul, always smiling and well put together.. it’s because I’ve fought every battle alone, depression does convince me it’s better to give up but being a military brat I just keep pushing forward and with every step it seems I can hardly breathe I’m so tired I’m bound to collapse insomnia, crying is weakness so I cry alone. I just smile in front of people is cause it’s easier then draining what little energy I have and I have a heart of “gold” with a caring soul is cause I know what it means to go to bed wishing to never wake and fighting what feels like an impossible fight alone.

[@humanperson6390]

You just wrote how i feel every day. Thank you. Are you doing okay?

[@kuuchan9823]

"no matter where I go I'm never home" hit hard.. your songs always makes me remember I'm not alone, thankyou for another beautiful song 🤍✨

[@clairewelch3614]

Love listening to the songs by you guys theyve helped me so much and resonate with me massively like they do with so many people here. I didnt find you guys until a couple of months ago when i needed it the most, your song would anyone care is basically the thoughts that go in my head often, my favourite lyric from this song though ( hand me down ) is "like youre the broken puzzle piece that doesnt fit in anywhere, cause no one cares" as i feel i dont fit in anywhere at all and never have fitted in anywhere my whole life

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad you found us Claire 💜

[@juanvillasis4405]

Claire I feel like I'm in the same boat as yourself. What song that got me into Citizen Solder was would anyone care because I want sure if anyone actually would. At the end I know two people at least would but then with I hear "hand me down" I knew this song came into my life for a reason. The lyrics "Wish I could see it in myself. Why I'm impossible to love? Why I'm not enough?" resonate with me the most unfortunately for the wrong reasons. I'm sure you'll find that you fit in somewhere someday. Take care Claire.

[@wolvesgirl1565]

This song definitely hits differently when you haven't been okay for a long time. I always felt like a dumping ground for people to tell me their issues, but when it came to mine, they'd leave. I hope everyone who reads this is doing well, and is now in a good state of mind.

[@foreveruseless1292]

This song hits very close to home. The lyrics, the calm, somber feeling elicited by the rhythm. It is truly amazing. It is sad to see how many people relate to this, but also comforting to know we're not alone in these feelings. Thank you Citizen Soldier

[@Edaloyloy]

Citizen Soldier never let's me down. They are so precious people in real I watch their lives sometimes. They are talented and helped me more than most of the people. I relate most of the songs they help me to cope. This is what a real artists do. They aren't just musicians they are artists. My favorite musicians. Thank you for your songs, I'll be a fan forever. ❤️

[@PreciousDurham]

I sobbed listening to this...this is how I felt for so damn long.

[@adolphinia8786]

Oh my god this song is really piercing through my heart! Especially the lyrics part at the start 'Have you ever felt lost within? Like you don't belong in your own skin' really resonates with me. I've felt like this almost my whole life and no matter to whom I opened up to, telling them I felt this way... no one understood. They said I'm not normal and I shouldn't feel like this. I think it's now almost two years ago that I found you guys and started listening to your songs. They comforted me when I felt bad and made me feel less weird, they gave me the strength to continue fighting and helped me through some really bad depressive phases and they gave me hope. One year ago I found some amazing friends that treat me like I'm a precious gem and genuinely care about me. I'm so grateful that you guys make this kind of songs and that you help people like me to get better when there is no one else that does. Your songs gave me enough courage and hope to continue approaching people and to fight my fears instead of letting them take control of me. Thanks so much, with your help I was able to make take a few steps forward and trough that I was able to meet my precious friends ❤ please continue making your amazing music, I love you guys ❤

"So many nights I lie awake wondering why nobody stays. I'm just a hand me down." was the part that related to me the most, because whenever someone knows what I'm going through eventually leaves me.

[@Blaiddcymru]

I found you guys via TikTok and I’m so glad, otherwise I could have gone forever without discovering you. Tiktok gave me some great previews of songs and I loved them. Listening to the full songs on here and Spotify are another level and they blow me away, whether they are the softer songs or the heavier ones. My struggles may not be the worst but they are hard and your songs make me tear up because it’s like you guys understand or they help me unleash the pent up frustration by allowing me to just let out a scream. Thank you guys, you are absolutely incredible.

[@unknown_kabashi]

I seriously love this song- I put it on whenever I don't feel the greatest about myself. It always gets me to sing along, somewhat dance. It just opens my soul and draws out the emotions I have bottled up. Definitely my favorite band, you guys help me feel less alone and actually cared for. Love you guys, keep making amazing music💕💕💕

[@cjsm935]

As a sufferer of D.I.D. this song really helps....not knowing who you are, not knowing what's real anymore and blacking out. Making friendships and relationships nigh on impossible.

This is probably the one song out of millions and millions that actually hit the nail on the head. I do exactly everything in this song. I think every day and night, why am I not good enough or think about being someone else. Thank you for all your songs you guys make and thank you for helping everyone get through their hard times! You’re my favorite like no one else

[@whitelightning7726]

I had the comment section open for about a half hour before I could actually get my fingers to write. This song resonated a bit too much with how my entire family and all but 2 of my friends growing up until now. The main lyric that hit the most was "There's nothing quite like this abuse, of feeling like I have no use." I am diagnosed with autism (since 3) and had a dad who made it a point to tell me I was worthless unless I could outperform everybody else combined. My mother and her family supported it until I was 16 and needed to go to therapy after getting talked away from turning out the light. Here I am at 21 and I've used your songs to explain how I've felt at certain points of my life because they're so accurate. I hope you keep up this amazing music for those who need to hear these words and need these songs in order to realize they're not alone. Thank you

[@HDGhost1]

Listen to this music at 3:30am because my thoughts dont let me steep .... the song fits very well again. Thx again to Citizen soldier for a new masterpiece

[@ylegendaryofficial]

"I open up I get replaced like who I am is a mistake" This song goes through my heart. I felt like a mistake my whole youth, cause people in my school excluded me. They said to me that what I say has no sense. Now I have really good friends fortunally and I'm really happy that this horrible time is over. Thank you for this amazing song ^^

“What goods survival when everything feels final?” It’s like no matter what I do this feeling of emptiness won’t go away. And what’s the point of survival if living will always feel like this?

[@evangordon2653]

This song hit home. People like us just want the pain to end, someone to care. we are so tired of being alone, cast aside. We want someone to fight for us for a change. We feel like this because everything we love leaves for one reason or another. Its a never ending fight, but its worth it. Dont give up. Thanks again for another great song!

[@whydoineeddis8988]

I don't know if anyone will see this or reply. But that's fine if no one does, I just wanted to thank you Citizen Soldier. I'm sure I'm not the only one you've guys have helped through some difficult times. Your music has helped me from doing things a lot and I've related to a lot of the lyrics. But anyway thank you guys, I recently got the "Your Story isn't over" shirt and I love it so much you've guys have saved so many people. Much love to all of you guys. 💜 Also I did covers on Bedroom Ceiling and Hand Me Down recently while recovering from covid so if anyone wants to check it out that'd be nice. :)

It got published when I was in school. Almost started crying there when I had the time to listen to it. I've been so low the last few weeks and this song just spoke out what I wasn't able to. Thank you guys again. Whoever reads this. You are amazing. Remember that💜

[@coolnegative]

I don't know If any of the band are Christians, but almost every one of your songs has expressed prayers that I've cried out to the Lord on the longest nights when I thought i might not see another sunrise..........Believers or not, I pray a blessing for all of you, and the difference you're music is making........maybe God put all of you on this path for a reason........ Even if you don't believe in God, he believes in you...............thank you.

[@cu-m3815]

Sometimes I wish that my existence was a mistake. Everywhere I go, I'm just a substitute for someone else, and there are so many alternatives for me. I spend many sleepless nights and go about my work as if it were inertia. I try to keep my emotions in check so that I won't be told, "I don't need you anymore". Who needs me? I don't have a safe place for my heart to go. But ...... maybe other people besides me are having the same lonely night?

A shout out to the band that has saved my life a few times now... If you find yourself hurting and/or alone never be afraid to reach out, help can/will come from some of the most unexpected places. Sufferings isn't something that can be rated on a scale, never take anyone or anything for granted. Prioritize yourself before others, and compassion will follow. You are, and always will be loved. Thank you.
