A lot of people dont get that this song is about surrounding yourself with those who will help you out of your depression together rather than not move foward at all and instead always talk about how bad it all is but not do anything to change. This happened to me and though you love them, its like theres none of them left to love. It proves to be very toxic and theyre great people, but i much prefer to hang out with a crowd that doesnt drag me down with them.

"The song...was basically a wakeup call for me when I realized that a lot of my friends from high school, the only thing we had in common anymore was that we all hated life at one point and we would get together, as youth often do, and talk about how crappy everything was and how much we wanted to get out of the town we were in and all that stuff and I realized that I had nothing in common with these people except for that negativity. So, it’s kind of me saying, “Let’s grow up.” I want to be healthy. I want to be happy. It’s not necessarily a popular view at a teenager’s age to want to be happy and there are definitely a lot of pity parties going on and it’s kind of wanting to move beyond that." ... is precisely what it is about

And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's true I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital So now you know all my secrets I want out, I know I don't need this Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through The more battle scars the more attention it gets you Don't tell the others but it's all getting old I mean how many more times must our stories be told? And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's true I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital Yeah we should've known it would end this way What did you expect, pretend it all away And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive We know better now, we don't have to live like this Go tell them all we don't have to live like this I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital

I've had a terrible habit of being in and out of psych wards. It was always the same. I go in claiming to need help, I leave claiming that I feel better, I get out patient help, take my meds for a while, then at some point I start forgetting to take them, everything goes to shit and I end up back in the hospital. For me, this song is like me speaking to myself. I truly meant it when I said that I want to get better. The last time I left the hospital, I told this really nice nurse that the only way I would step foot on this ward again would either be in handcuffs or nurse scrubs. Thanks to this song, I have made true on that promise. It's been almost two years since I was last hospitalized. Thank you, Icon For Hire!

Almost 80 days sober, it's 3 am, and this song is helping to remind me why I'm still fighting.

My best friend sent me this song years ago. I don't know if he just liked it or if the meaning hit him as deeply as it hit me when I first heard it. I've struggled with mental health my whole life - and I'm finally seriously getting better and seeing differences. It's not easy. Breaking the cycles is difficult, but worth it. I just confronted a family member who has narcissistic traits and stood up for myself. This is a major step for me, as I've always had confidence issues and severe anxiety. I advised her to get help and I truly hope she does. She says she will. I thought of this song and had to come listen to it. Anyone who needs to see this: It is possible. Life can get better. Please save yourself.

And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's trueI meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recitalSo now you know all my secrets I want out, I know I don't need this Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through The more battle scars the more attention it gets youDon't tell the others but it's all getting old I mean how many more times must our stories be told? And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's trueI meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recitalYeah we should've known it would end this way What did you expect, pretend it all away And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive We know better now, we don't have to live like this Go tell them all we don't have to live like thisI meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recitalIf it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital

Toxic people can erode your self esteem, self worth, and your willpower to change your life for the better. I feel like it’s definitely better to surround yourself with people who will support you, help empower you, and build you up instead of tear you down. ❤️

They have denied that the group is a Christian band, with Ariel stating, "We are very intentionally not trying to save the church; we are trying to save the world. We believe that if we follow the pathway of a typical Christian band and stick to only playing churches and stick to being signed to a Christian label, we're not going to fulfill the purpose that we are called to fulfill. That's great for a lot of bands, and I'm really glad that there are bands doing that, but we know why we're here, and we're not here for that."
@WinglessOrchestra10 жыл бұрын
Cheyenne Heatley This does not mean they are denying being a Christian band. it simply means they will not be limited by their religion in terms of venues and image. They even say in that quote that if they "follow the way of a typical Christian band". This implies that they are indeed Christian, but are not following a path laid before them. They are creating their own path. :)

I agree. it doesn't really matter. I thought I would just point out they they do in fact consider themselves Christian since people were discussing whether they were or not. XP
@SmileyHeartsGrim10 жыл бұрын
The band members, yes. They do consider themselves Christian. But just because the band members are Christan, does not mean the band is. To prove my point: Ariel says - “Why do you care if we’re not a Christian band? Is it that important to you? It’s the same music, either way, so why do you only want to listen to it if it’s labeled that way?” Ariel says - “Why, tell me, do you get your own kind of music? Muslims don’t get their own music industry. Jews or Hindus don’t need a brand of music to call their own.” Ariel says - Guess what, dear Christian music lover, Icon For Hire is not exclusive to you, you cannot own us. Ariel says - But don’t you dare try to keep us in your little christian world and hide us from where are desperately needed. It doesn’t work. If I want to impact culture, I have to get dirty! Jesus did not by any means stay within the confines of the temple, and the Pharisees hated him for it. Ariel says - How dare you come up to me after the show and say you loved it but are disappointed that I didn’t talk about Jesus? What do you do for a living? Oh, you’re a mechanic? I’m so disappointed that you don’t talk more about Jesus. Just because the band members believe in God does not mean they are Christian.

Very interesting lyrics, i suffered from hard stuff and i think this speaks about depression and mental ilness and the feeling people get about not getting fun and being good with others hapiness as they view them as happier than themselfes, but you just wanna get well and be like the others and not being down , the line " it's only a game you lost me, i quit it with the suicidal recital" is like fuck this and i quit with these bad feelings, and lets overcome it. Very good mensage and this song rocks!

I knew this song long ago, when I didn't knew English, my father played this song in the car and I loved it. And now, after 5 years i found it and only now I understood the words... Edit: 2024 now and I'm still here, thank you, KZbin for recommending me this masterpiece again, i still love it so much. And of course the lyrics hit differently now, then in childhood and even more different thaqn a year ago when this comment was originally written. This song gives me so much nostalgia, thank you so much, Icon For Hire for this amazing song

I really appreciate this band and especially this song. It helped me realize making myself miserable on purpose even when I didn’t have to and hurting myself repeatedly would only get myself deeper into a hole that would only end with me in a grave. I come back to listen to their music sometimes just to remind myself where I should be and that I shouldn’t let myself ever get that bad again. I hope everyone realizes there’s always hope and despite how fuckin horrible it can get, there’s something waiting for you in the future. Why not live to see it?

I wish I'd found this band earlier in my life and I wish I'd remember them when things start looking down for me. This song literally captures everything wrong with people who wallow in self pity all the time. Sometimes you really need to look at who you're hanging out with, who you're dedicating a lot, if not all, of your valuable time to, and you might find that maybe they're not as great for your mental health as you think, and subsequently you might not be very good for theirs. I recently cut ties completely (or at least as completely as I can) with a girl that I love because I realized she's been a major source of stress for me for years, to the point where some of my other friends and I at one point actually bonded over how much stress she's caused me. I didn't wanna do it and I still wish I didn't have to, but I did what I needed to and I honestly feel better than I have in a long while. The point is, don't be afraid to cut the really toxic people out of your life if you need to. You'll both likely be better off in the long run

The walls collapsing in reminded me of my brief stay in a mental hospital as a little kid. I was about five or six, and everything was so white and sterile. The place itself was actually rather large and open, given that it was technically a children's care facility, but it felt tiny. No matter where you went, everything was extremely claustrophobic.
