"The worst part about waking up is waking up." Just when I thought a lyric couldn't possibly be more relatable. Well done.

[@ssvzlrnrdd]

Yesssss, same 🥺

[@nafam3429]

I agree

[@CitizenSoldier]

We've all been there....

[@Airin17-p2w]

I feel that so much lately. I tried to end it 2 days ago, so I really wished I wouldnt wake up anymore...

Thanks so much Amber

[@FallenKova]

You're right thats a really beautiful song.

[@onders5302]

Really nice song.

[@margaritasatmidnight3134]

Living in a still frame. This line stays with me the most. When every day feels like the last, and they all feel the same, it feels like having a future doesn't matter. Anything but the boring hamster wheel hell that feels impossible to change.

[@bushboi6942]

Idk why this one speaks to me so much even tho I don’t have ptsd or anything like that, just shows how good your music is 🧡

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad you can relate in other ways. Thanks Bush boi!

[@heartthatuser]

Whenever I'm going through a depressive episode it certainly feels this way, living in a still frame and wondering why I wake up to another day, feeling the same. ❤️‍🩹

[@CitizenSoldier]

We totally get it...stay strong.

[@Gilded_Wolf]

Keep walking the path to victory, Jake. We love everything you do, you're an inspiration and an understanding gentleman. Thank you so much! 🙏🧡

@@CitizenSoldier are you guys doing okay? Writing songs this relatable, you definitely have to either be in or have been in that state of mind, and I saw a notification 30 min ago for a video where you said you needed to confess something, but it was made private before I could get to it. Just thinking of you all and concerned. 💙🧡

Another incredible song by this incredible band! And if any of the CS crew see this Congats on 400k subs! Wishing everyone a great day/night! And sending hugs to anyone that wants/needs them!🤗

Hey! Thanks! We were just talking about this yesterday, we did hit 400k! Appreciate you C K 🧡

[@h3romaniac]

"The worst part about waking up, is waking up" Damn, that hits hard

[@RedheadedWildflower]

As someone who struggles with severe C-PTSD among other things this song really hits home. It’s a very good musical interpretation of how PTSD feels. Well done y’all 🖤

[@serenity8839]

Its do difficult, people cant understand that terror of feeling like youre on the verge off death for hours at a time, honestly its just.. urg. So bad.

@@serenity8839it’s a horrible thing.. I have CPTSD as well and it’s absolutely identity shattering. Every day every hour endless loops of the past . Like, enough of that and you don’t even know what’s real or fake anymore. Makes a person feel so insane

[@Serenity_93]

Seriously they are always killing it with their songs 🎵 absolutely incredible 👏

[@CitizenSoldier]

Thanks Heather! We try!

[@luckyfluf0]

Yep. This has probably become my favorite song of yours... Did I cry a bit? Admittedly, yes. Because it hit it's mark. It struck a chord with me. Thank you guys again! Keep doing what you're doing! 💙

[@SpectreXeno]

I love this song, it reminds me of how I felt after a traumatizing event, I didn’t want to be awake to remember it all over again, the only escape was being asleep, unless I had any nightmares about it

[@barbaraeddy5725]

Love your music, voices, lyrics, I'm 62 years of trauma, I wake up startled and afraid everyday, I sleep and still anxious during day, great song, Ty🇬🇧🇬🇧🦋🦋🦋🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@sara_s1737]

The worst part about waking up... is waking up. Masterfully done guys, you did it again - making me tear up over a song I so far only heard once

[@moonzain.]

"the only escape is not being awake the worst part about waking up is waking up" love that part! so real, so raw, so painful. also, the desperation in "stuck in replay" hits me on another level. this is just another great song from Citizen Soldier❤

[@nai5949]

I really like the songs with a slower melody. It's really relaxing.

[@CitizenSoldier]

Its a nice change of pace every once in a while, isn't it? Glad you're chilling out to our music

[@jacobstowe2371]

This song hits way too close to home, everytime I hear it, it hurts to listen to, when you said "The worst part about waking up is waking up" I had to pause the song. I don't know how you guys express something that is so hard to talk about, but you do it perfectly. This song has me in tears. Thank you Citizen Soldier for yet another masterpiece 🧡

[@JustusGagnon1]

when i get notified about your music i drop everything and rush to listen to it, hands down one of the greatest bands I've listened to

[@CitizenSoldier]

Awww we appreciate that! Thanks Justus!

[@NyctoNel]

Was waiting for the lyric vid ever since the song dropped on spotify, you guys always nail them 🧡

[@CitizenSoldier]

Thanks Nel! 🧡

[@physics_hacker]

"You get ten seconds of heaven until what you forgot, puts you back at the bottom and ties you up in knots" This is so true for me. Every time I wake up there's that short time where my brain isn't awake enough and assumes everything is okay...And then it all hits me at once.

[@thecentipedequeen3305]

I got diagnosed with C-PTSD this year, finally getting answers to why i have been the way i have been for so long. It came as such a shock. This song is resonates with me in such a raw way. Your songs are always amazing, and always speak to people on an understanding level. Can't thank you guys enough for using your platform to raise awareness for mental health.

[@helenyoung]

I got diagnosed at the beginning of 2020 with cptsd and I agree.. this song literally speaks volumes about how it is living with cpstd and memories etc.. Got me blubbing like a baby

[@KataHime]

Another amazing song 🧡🧡

[@jeremiahdavidson5114]

When my therapist asks why do sleep so much... this explains why. This song brings me so much peace.

[@pactanimated2580]

Not only have I been waiting excitedly for this song's release, Still Frame really does resonate with me a lot on my literal everyday. Especially the beginning of "The Worst Part About Waking up, is remembering why you wish that you did not." But then again given what happened with me this year, the entire song just describes the aftermath feeling, of being stuck in that hell, in my stead spot on.

[@heartthatuser]

The reason I can relate is longer than I have energy for. Lately these days I fight to go to sleep and fight to get out of bed...so tired of fighting but i will never give up because have to two best kids i could ever be blessed with!!!

[@catnip_made_me_do_it]

Chills ... so accurate; 'memories that want to kill me' and 'the worst part about about waking up is waking up' - you guys have the words when I don't and for that 'thank you' simply isn't enough, your songs are so relatable. Musically you're amazing, right up there with Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold and there's so much symbolism in your videos, you've become my favourite band because of everything above and because you understand. ❣️

[@TheEclipseArchives]

I have untreated ptsd.. thank you citizen soldier for this song.. it really helps to know I'm not alone in this fight 🧡

[@19WolfGirl74]

This song is incredible. It’s every raw emotion possible and more. I think you probably genuinely cried while recording it too. I can’t help but thing how much your music would have helped me as a teenager. I was so depressed and hurt myself regularly, even tried to take that forever sleep several times. For so many years, even into adulthood, I was stuck in a single moment of my life and several other moments of pain that kept piling on and destroying me mentally. Those moments made me want to go to sleep and never wake up again. This song captures that feeling perfectly. It is perfect.

[@CuRSe-gw3rx]

My father had PTSD as well dementia and sadly isn’t here anymore. Thank you for making this song it’s so powerful 🙏

[@Xehxna]

This song reminds me of when i first developed PTSD, it took so many years to get to a point of sanity again. It's been almost 20yrs and i feel like im just getting my life together now.

[@rcarpenter3]

"Yeah, I'm still surviving this, but at what cost?" "When every day gets wasted on a painful pause" I honestly do not know another lyric that represents my struggle with mental health as perfectly as this does. This lyric sums up PTSD and C-PTSD so perfectly... Thank you for everything you guys do. Jake, I hope your mental health gets better and your stress goes down.

[@charliegaming2564]

This song was amazing. I love the music. It’s so calm and I love that

For hours, for days.. As long as possible.. Thank you so much for writing this song. I always thought that no one could understand what it's like not wanting to wake up. But here you are.. and so incredibly talented too.. When I can hear your songs it's not so bad to be awake.

To get anything done i make it a mission .Been in bed most of the week and trouble sleeping. I just want my husband back and our lives. I know his with me but its hard with heaven in the way.

When you posted the chorus to TikTok, I instantly wanted to hear the rest and you did not disappoint. That second verse and chorus hits hard personally. I'm a first responder and live in a still frame constantly with victims I couldn't save. I just lost a pt the other day and got the call from his father with his mother breaking down in the background. That white noise is terrible... the still frame unbreakable...

[@zr9102]

That white noise is deafening when sitting there it all hitting you and trying to wrap your head around the “why”. This made me shed some tears hearing the same. From the LE side there’s rarely an answer to the why but ohh do those steel frames like to come in sometimes. After one incident the regular crying and screaming from my own child would bring back a flood of emotions every single time she’d do either. Took awhile but thankfully that was able to be overcome but those pictures our eyes take never do.

[@fallen-spirit8241]

"Is remembering why you wish you did not" hits so hard as I used to sh and when I woke up and saw those scars I used to beat myself up over why I did it.

One thing that's really bad is the intrusive thoughts which I didn't even know was part of a PTSD. The only way I can push those thoughts away is by sleeping or multitasking every minute I'm awake.
