Therapist reacts to Monster by Skillet

The monster is just you. It's not something external. It's something you can confront. I made peace with my rage and anger. They're a part of me. And that gives me power.

[@ericcartrette6118]

As a Desert Shield/Storm veteran with combat-related PTSD, Monster speaks to me in very deep ways. Before I got help from the VA, my monster was always JUST beneath the surface, waiting to spring at the slightest trigger. Thankfully, I never struck my wife or children in anger, but the monster is big, ugly and mean. The monster is responsible for at least 22 veteran suicides a day. I refuse to be one of the 22. I have too much to live for. Someone else mentioned Psycho in My Head, by Skillet. I second that! It's really hard to pick ONE Skillet song, though. They are a great band.

[@wallywest2360]

Sorry you have to deal with that. I've never been under that kind of stress myself, and that's probably a good thing. I definitely have a monster just below the surface and the few times it has almost come out has made me afraid of what would happen to the point where I avoid conflict of most any kind just to be safe.

[@ericcartrette6118]

@@wallywest2360 I don't wish that kind of stress on anyone. Avoiding conflict when possible is the best way to stay safe.

[@AmerinadianGaming]

As a fellow veteran, you're not alone brother

[@carguy1975]

So glad you did some Skillet! Their music actually has some positive messages. Check out Hero, Legendary, Surviving the Game, or Awake and Alive, just to name a few

Ah yes, my favorite band in middle school. I hope you react to more of their songs, you won't be disappointed

[@cruxknight0354]

"Whispers in the Dark" is an incredibly popular song of theirs. Their album history: Collide Comatose Awake and Alive Rise Undefeated Victorious and Dominion Its a progression

[@oxide9679]

Their album history dates back even further. Alien Youth and Hey You, I Love Your Soul I think their very first album was self titled

[@leristamerello8225]

Honestly Skillet is a great band. Simple lyrics and its quite relatable.

[@ChrisKay-dd3zy]

Taylor, a little known fact, Skillet is a Christian band and the Christian community didn't like the part where he says, "I feel like a monster." in that deep monster voice, because it resembled too close to be demonic. So Skillet changed his voice back to his normal voice for the radio version.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Damn that sucks, they ruined everything and the fun... Softies.

[@Shaneallen4952]

I'm a Christian that LOVES this version so much better. Like this lady likes to say ALOT... It's more real than most people wanna admit.

[@MVDSYNISTERPRODUCTIONS]

We don’t know how the devil sounds so why compare him to music?

[@lexusgrace6748]

Lmao

[@bastik.3011]

So what? The monster is his inner demon, so yeah, that's kinda the point. It's his inner demon breaking out. Man, hard-core Christians can be so annoying

Skillet is my favorite band and this is my favorite song. Thanks for analysing it

[@christopherwells3467]

I think diving into Falling In Reverse is a rabbit hole you should approach. You’ve got the trilogy (losing my mind, losing my life, drugs), you’ve got popular monster, voices in my head, zombified, or watch the world burn. Or their cover of Last Resort…. Dive in, I dare you.

[@Diesal3]

Absolutely need to listen to FIR

[@StevenPrime1988]

I hope she does the reimagined versions of vampire and drug

[@PearlTheStriker]

I'd love if she did these songs too. Falling in Reverse is my favorite. Voices in My Head is one of my favorite songs and Last Resort by them.

[@komgggg167]

One song you neeeeed to listening to is not gonna die - skillet it's my personal favorite

Great reaction 😀 I only started following your channel yesterday. I personally love Skillet (all of their songs). So I am looking forward to hear your reaction to other songs from them😊. Besides Skillet I also wanted to recommend Epic: The musical, especially The Underworld saga because in this saga is also struggle with in but for context would be better to listen the previous sagas. 😀 Keep your good work 💪

I LOVE SKILLET no matter what anybody says especially if it's some believer that can't have a little fun that doesn't hurt anyone at all besides one's mind of what one believes in limiting them literally from fun but yeah that is what it is. Skillet has made a lot of great songs I find or found myself back in a cycle playing back a lot like Linkin Parks song back then as now.

[@Disgustipated8404]

Skillet puts on a great live show, especially when they're the headliner. Talk about confession.... Go see one of their shows and catch the glimpse that could change your life for eternity.

[@freedomis4all]

I'd recommend Hate Myself by Yavid, the Trauma Model and Eyes by King 810 (same singer btw). The man does not shy away from the monster he had to become to survive Flint, Michigan

[@xavierking2449]

I love Skillet, I saw them at corpus Christi last year, and I love your reaction, you're funny and pretty

[@markwolfe947]

That song is where I went to when I was younger, as I have an issue with anger where I black out and lose control. The come down is not so easy, like trying to wrestle control from a part of you that feels so right but is not the way to be. So glad I wasn't reading into this song when I was younger.

[@jims-tek]

You should do the song "Not dead yet" by Ledger. It is the drummer's solo release. When they played it live at Skillet concerts Jon learned how to play drums just for her to be able to do it.

[@danhammybazam2112]

The last night is their best song in my opinion.

[@oshikurutensai8206]

Great band. Definitely check out Hero, Comatose, Rebirthing, and Not Gonna Die.

[@robertbrunner4379]

Another song along with some of the others recommended i would recommend Rise and Not Going to Die both solid songs

[@BlackSpiral2000]

Always interesting to see different takes on songs like this. Skillet has quite a few good ones! If you're open to suggestions, three I think are meaningful and great songs: The Part That Hurts the Most - Thousand Foot Krutch Better Lie - Ghostseeker Out of my Head - The SIDH featuring SounDiver

[@MissKateKatie]

The last night, lucy, whispers in the dark, comatose, rise. All good songs you could/should react to by skillet.

Whispers in the dark by skillet was great when I was young, now that I’m mid!30s it hits harder because of life

[@Darken1Rahl1]

Such a great breakdown and also a fantastic song. Skillet has a lot of fantastic songs in their discography. I would really love to see you react to Fabvl's "Lost it All". The character the artist is portraying is from the anime Berserk. Very Tradgic character.

[@jtborchardt32]

This song can feel that. For real... still waiting to see if lamb of god momento mori gets one. Love it all ..

[@Habsta71]

Skillet just dropped a new song and its Kick Ass Catchy!! It's called Unpopular.

I’ll second whispers in the dark for sure

[@actionfigureruler1304]

[@almightygod2144]

It's crazy to me that people dont realize Skillet is a Christian rock band. It's what all of their songs are about. All of them. He feels like a monster and wants someone to come and fix his nature. all of them.

[@Moviefan2k4]

Skillet has been around since 1996, but they didn't get their first radio hit ("Hero") until 2009. That's 13 long years of dedicated hard work with very little reward, and frontman John Cooper has said he was tempted many times during that period to just end the whole thing. But starting with the popularity of their album "Awake", mainstream listeners really began to appreciate Skillet, and now they're one of the biggest bands in the world...Christian or otherwise.

[@PearlTheStriker]

I came across this page from the Slipknot reaction videos and like that she's done some for a few other artists I enjoy. Would love if Taylor dives more into Skillet, Falling in Reverse, and Sleeping With Sirens reactions. From Skillet songs would love her to do Falling In The Black, Theory of a Deadman, Psycho in My Head, Rise, Not Gonna Die, Awake and Alive, I Want To Live, Undefeated, Surviving the Game, Would It Matter, Save Me, Hero, and Invincible.

[@iamharley4325]

“Lucy” “Our Last Night” you won’t regret it ❤

[@Chrisjb8583]

As someone who battles the demons of mental health issues I can relate to coming to terms with the monster inside. I have been diagnosed with what I call an alphabet soup relating to mental health. 1 is PTSD 2 is schizoaffective disorder with mixed features of bipolar 3 is adhd 4 is possibly autism So yes the way you describe the "monster" coming to the surface and where it stems from is 💯 accurate inmo.

[@pepepepert]

Be ready to do a deep dive into their songs. The woman he is running with (guitarist) is his wife IRL. I'm about half of the views. They are a go to for gym time.

If you're breaking down lyrics and storys in songs, "Currents" is a fantastic band for this kind of reaction. I'd recommend their song "Shattered". I've seen some tiktoks about that song and how it's saved peoples lives. It's a beautiful song, although on the heavier side

[@assistdetermind7700]

I love that you discovered Skillet. I would suggest you watch Hero by skillet or Not Gonna Die by skillet.

[@BlackNinjaish]

Not Gonna Die would be good one to listen

[@Spudeaux]

I think the most therapy relevant songs from Skillet are "The Last Night", "Not Gonna Die", and "Victorious". "Victorious" hits pretty hard when you learn it was written in response to the death of Chester Bennington of Linkin Park.

[@davidhasz5898]

Need to do a Skillet song where John and Jen both sing. Awake and Alive or Not Gonna Die feature them both and have strong mental health messages. Everything of theirs is so empowering tbh!

You should see Jen the drummer on her spinning drum kit. She's one BADA** drummer.

@heartsupport I have recently had a huge mental health breakdown. Fiance left me without a word, was about to switch careers but had to cancel because I was going to be the only paycheck. Started missing work, started drinking heavy, started just shutting down. The manager actually came to my house one day just to talk to me and see if I was okay. He said idc if you come to work, I just want to know if you're okay. I'm more worried about your mental health than a job. That really made me realize that I was doing was affecting everybody around me and everybody was worried. Ive since really buckled down. I first came across your channel when you did your thoughts on Slipknot (was my favorite band growing up for YEARS) and I actually started crying at the end when you got real serious about it. I've since started watching your videos daily. So I wanted to thank you and let you know you helped pull somebody from the brink. Your synopsis of The Devil In I is wonderful and made me realize a lot about myself.
