[@reese1339]

@@mabellopez6364 it plays off of the line "if we are all crazy who is supposed to fix it?" Shawn started as the therapist. When the twist occurs and shows she also acts as a therapist. It reflects that even though we see therapists/therapy as a way to get better, the people who are helping fix our problems are having to get help from others with thiers. Thus to moral dilemma of the "crazy" helping the "crazy" get better.

[@SH-yd2su]

@@mabellopez6364 In addition to what Pica Pantone said, we all have problems. The people that help us have their own set too. We are all a little crazy (which is what the song is about - the difference between normal-crazy and abnormal-crazy). (Please do not take offense at my usage of the word crazy here)

[@icanmakeeverythingilovedie9861]

That line about mental health awareness week is so legitimately true. Years and years digging on the people who had real problems, telling them to "just deal with it", but after a few celebrities/musicians off themselves, it becomes a real problem.

I hope "becomes a real problem" is short for "becomes a real problem in the public consciousness".

I literally had a mental breakdown last night about this exact stuff. When you said, “I kinda hope there’s something wrong with me” I felt that too hard

[@teaartist6455]

Not to intrude, but if you do have those kinds of experiences of wanting to have something wrong with you because that'd explain your experiences, it's fairly likely that you do have some issue. Keep fighting and keep trying to find the answer. I don't know how it'll be for you, but for me, being able to put a name on it and connecting with people that have similar experiences was very liberating.

Lyrics: I don't wanna break down, but I'm feeling low Let me sink to the bottom Air in my lungs keeping me afloat Inside I'm still hollow I know I'm not my thoughts But my thoughts don't know that yet Sometimes I try to sneak up On the voice inside my head I try to meditate, cause they told me it'll help But the last thing I need is more time alone inside myself I know I'm not unique, we all got broken brains Culture recently decided being crazy is okay And now we all can talk about it on our social feeds Having a rough day? Hashtag mental health awareness week I know that's progress We don't have to hide no more But it leaves me wondering why we ain't said this stuff before Like were we always all crazy and we all Just kept quiet? Are we on the same page with what we're identifying? And if crazy's the new normal then it's not that crazy, is it? Cause the word by definition means it sits outside the system And how can we tell difference between sick and tryna' fit in? If everybody's crazy, then who's supposed to fix it? I don't wanna break down, but I'm feeling low Let me sink to the bottom Air in my lungs keeping me afloat It's like I'm still hollow I don't wanna break down So where do I go? My screams sink to the bottom Top of my lungs, Just an echo It's like I'm still hollow No one told me it could get this bad, this fast Guess we only hear about the struggle after its passed Getting easier to open up, share what we've lost Good to know I'm not alone But if I'm really being honest I kinda hope there's something wrong with me I kind hope this isn't how it's supposed to be (Supposed to be) I pray to god it's not normal Crying on the floor I don't wanna do this anymore I don't wanna break down, but I'm feeling low Let me sink to the bottom Air in my lungs keeping me afloat It's like I'm still hollow I don't wanna break down So where do I go? My screams sink to the bottom Top of my lungs, Just an echo It's like I'm still hollow I kinda hope there's something wrong with me I kind hope this isn't how it's supposed to be (Supposed to be) I pray to god it's not normal Crying on the floor I don't wanna do this anymore I kinda hope there's something wrong with me I kind hope this isn't how it's supposed to be (Supposed to be) I pray to god it's not normal Crying on the floor I don't wanna do this anymore I don't wanna break down But I'm feeling low I don't wanna break down But I'm feeling low I don't wanna break down But I'm feeling low I don't wanna break down I don't wanna break down, but I'm feeling low Let me sink to the bottom Air in my lungs keeping me afloat It's like we're still hollow I don't wanna break down So where do I go? My screams sink to the bottom Top of my lungs, Just an echo It's like I'm still hollow I know I'm not my thoughts But my thoughts don't know that yet Sometimes I try to sneak up On the voice inside my head I've tried to meditate, cause they tell me it'll help But the last thing I need is more time alone

My favorite part is where Ariel's voice hits that small strain at "and HOW CAN we tell the difference between sick and trying to fit" That small part expresses so much emotion, and it really made this song a masterpiece for me. #IconArmy Every time I'm feeling alone, it's so comforting to know that others have been there and climbed out.

[@xxkaisooxx874]

All you guys are talking about is Shawn and while I agree he looks good and Ariels voice is beautiful as always, is no one gonna talk about what the song is saying? Because it's true. This society has normalised mental health nowadays you see it all over social media. And the fact that so many of it is accurate and relatable makes it really is scary bc if a majority of people are feeling the way I do (I've had depression for 7 years now) then how the hell am I supposed to be ok? How are WE supposed to be okay? Is this normal? Ariel makes a point... I really hope it's just me and not the way things are supposed to be

[@teaartist6455]

Dude, maybe actually look up what Autism Spectrum Disorder is and how it affects people before arbitrarily deciding who has "real" problems and who doesn't? The reason we see so much of it on social media is mainly because of the algorithms changing what you are shown. Also, how come you can't seem to fathom that autistic people have real problems just becausethe problems autistic people face aren't identical or necessarily comparable to yours? Just because someone doesn't have the exact same problems you do doesn't mean they don't have problems. Autism can still cause problems, including mental health issues. The suicide rates among autistic people are through the roof, and that's just the people who were diagnosed. Autism is something we haven't known about for long and if you're not a male, white child or affected in a very blatant way you would probably be overlooked and will likely end up with a number of mental illnesses (or misdiagnosed as having mental illnesses), if you are diagnosed you'll be put through conversion therapy and come out with PTSD. Autism itself is known since the 60s, but back then you were only diagnosed if the doctor was a specialist and your symptoms were extremely noticeable, the more Neurotypical-seeming ends of the spectrum, in the 90s people recognized that not everyone who's autistic was so obviously and that the people that can pretend to be (more) normal still struggle a lot.

[@gemtail3125]

Part of it is also because of the times we fall on, too. Not to mention the internet has also given people so much access to information and so much access to more people. We're advancing fast on some things like realizing that mental health is prevalent among many of us... the next step IS to figure out how to fix it. For some people, it's financial stability, others it's access to healthcare (both mental and physical... actually, both of those should fall under healthcare), and for many it's the fact that they can't fit into society the way they need to in order to feel stable. Let's also not forget this feeling of dread that the world is ending due to climate change... fixing all those issues and others could do the world a lot of good.

I relate to this song way more than I should. I suffer from bipolar disorder and was diagnosed following a suicide attempt in January 2019 which led to me being sent to a psych ward from Sunday night to Friday afternoon. I showed signs as a teenager but nobody knew what to do when I got out of hand as a youth. Asking for help is so difficult when mental health and mental illness is so stigmatized to the max especially when you don’t have a very good support system. I’m 26 and I still struggle with my feelings as I am prone to mood swings from Hell.

I listen to this song almost every day. Icon for hire will never truly grasp how much their music means to me and so many others. So much pain in her voice ❤️

[@Able871]

Icon for hire is easily my favorite band their songs are catchy and bring up important topics I really hope they will be close to New Hampshire soon I’d love to see them live

[@mafikdew78]

that ending still makes me shiver a bit. like the crazy trying to help the other crazy. no one really knows what to do with mental illnness

[@amytaylor5195]

Going to be sharing this with my therapist... It's so relatable it hurts. listened to it 6 times today

[@k9techku]

The things you say about depression, the social media frenzy around it, the battling so hard to keep it together, and failing so often. And the subsequent beating yourself up about it. The repetitive stress injury of the broken mind...these songs have seriously saved my life. Because like you said I kinda hope this isn't normal. But its so...much less isolating to know at least one other person gets it on that level. If you can do this, and keep going, so can i.

[@ghastlyjibberish1314]

This in all honesty is a great representation of what mental illness causes in people, they doubt themselves and have breakdowns knowing how badly their minds and psyches are. Some who face it don’t do anything about it because they know they can’t help it and try to live with it the best way they can, though some people fall in doing so. Others go to a therapist and try to explain their troubled minds the best way they possibly can while the therapists take notes, checking the time to see when the session is over because that’s when they finally are able to do what they wanna do. The people who have mental illness go to a therapist for advice and help, but therapists don’t care because at the end of the day they get paid in full and every one of their patients are just statistics and nothing more than that.

Hey, cant get enough of your soungs, they are extreamly good, abput this song i wish i can be hollow, acualy il trie to be extreamly hollow inside, sick and tired of all bad fealings.... luckly music hept me till now specialy your songs 🙂

[@beck3498]

Imagine going crazy like this in an actual therapist’s office

[@kann604]

Low key always wanted to do it but never got the chance to.

[@ryanmitchell9730]

Lol I've done it, they don't appreciate it

[@SunNi_Lin]

I’ve done it, they just sat there and took it haha My therapist was extremely chill that way

[@ameliascalies6665]

God I wish

[@legzfalloffgirl5148]

I like that she was freaking out and he was just letting her do it. Anger really is a way of asking for help. You can lose yourself a little and your therapist can take care of you

[@corruptionbringer]

when my shrink tells me to mediated, i'm like I cant because i am more afraid of my own self and thoughts than anything external

[@keatonhenzel4956]

The lyrics here are genius I love them so much, I've listened to this 100 times already

[@marvemarge9624]

This band is very relaxing too listen too truly legendary much love ❤ rock on 🤘 keep bringing out the masterpieces

[@BluScreen_Gwen]

That twist at the end is amazing. So freaking relatable.

[@bunnylover9245]

Who else is coming back to this song now?

[@RavenXWritingdesk]

I think we've all wanted to trash a therapist's office at least once.

[@sarahfisher5719]

Or rock out in a therapy office...

[@mirandarosansky9873]

RavenWritingdesk To be fair, I definitely had the urge to with one therapist. Though it was more out of frustration from them not understanding a word that came out of my mouth

[@hannahwilliams5681]

Thankfully not my current therapist' s office but there's been a few

[@ThunderCloudAnnie]

Oh most definitely!! My first therapist was utter CRAP. I'd walk out her room feeling like crap all the time. I can't help thinking if I was suicidal and she was my last hope for help; I'd be dead right now. I'm thankful for my psychiatrist tho, she was my light in the darkness.

[@plasticbottle4270]

All the time. I've been to about 5 therapists, in 2 years, all were shit, and I wanted to trash all of the rooms. It was always just a waste of time, it never worth a thing. Now I don't go to therapist. This way I have time for guitar lessons.

[@kingIccus]

I fell in love with that flow, singing off the rocks and bars bars bars

[@jameshamilton9936]

I love that shawn is the therapist in the begining i see that turn your pain into art book you took off that shelf im glad you did that rel i was hoping you would do something with your book omg the ending thats such a twist! This music video is amazing

[@xanathem7]

Probably my favorite song from Icon For Hire. The vocals are just superb.

[@sock4395]

I haven't listened to y'all in years. I clicked so fast when I saw this in my recommended

[@GuiltySummoner]

LOVE the foreshadowing of art for Blindside!!! Just noticed @ 2:30 in the video on psych's papers

[@Dimination36]

This song hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves! A very good chance this is my favorite song!

[@Iris-eg2rj]

I never resonated with a song this much in my life, especially with the increasing mental health awareness all over our social feed, but as the lyrics states "were we always all crazy and we all just kept quiet?", as if we all are putting on an appearance and no one truly feel like they 'fit in'. Always grateful to my friend who introduced me to Icon For Hire :) Best band ever, and 'Iodine' will forever be iconic.

[@CarBENbased]

Holy shit... So good, so many things that I can relate to. The fact that you sing about something so heavy with such a light and airy sound works as an amazing contrast. And the video, beautiful, especially the ending

[@erickaa9816]

❤My healing song, one of my fav songs & most played song.🤘❤️

[@johntaylor7457]

If this is the direction Icon For Hire is taking for their next album, I am excited to see what the new album will bring us. I never feel disappointed with where IFH takes their music.

[@tobiaslee9399]

That man would not be able to be my therapist, I'd bee too distracted by that jawline lmao

[@fueledbypaintwater]

Lol this caught me off guard. Neither of them could be my therapist. My bi self would be too distracted.

[@Segrey]

That was such a powerful ending! As always, great message in your amazing music.

[@CarolinaAmanda]

Ela só disse o que muitos sentem e não conseguem falar

[@chrissy5291]

When I first saw her with her eyes closed, the eye makeup made me think she was wearing alien contacts. XD Also, I didn’t notice until my second watch that she pulls her book off the shelf and attempts to rip the pages.

[@Rjthewolf]

Yeah the glitter mascara makes it look like her eyes are reflecting the light like a cats

[@Alexk0200]

Yeah I noticed on my first playthrough that she picked up her book and then checked when and it's between 2:29 and 2:33 that she's holding it

[@danielleoakley9577]

The questions she asks of herself and inadvertently has us ask ourselves are beautiful.

[@makaylakuss520]

This is probably my favorite music video you've put out. Simple but extremely well done with a great message that challenges the new social norm.
