Of Mice & Men - Identity Disorder (Official Video)

Of Mice & Men's song "Identity Disorder" comes from their album 'Restoring Force: Full Circle'. Buy/stream at ofmiceandmen.l...
Filmed on The Hunting Party Tour - Fall 2014.
Your heart is a fire,
but the cold is comforting.
My mouth is a liar,
with my silver tongue in cheek.
The silence is deafening.
My words cut deep.
The darkness is blinding,
consuming me.
All I am is what I say,
so turn your back & walk away.
My words cut deep,
but the silence is deafening.
I am starving for something that's real,
so I bite the hand that feeds.
They all stole from me,
The pieces I'm missing
will be exactly what I need.
The silence is deafening.
My words cut deep.
The darkness is blinding,
consuming me.
All I am is what I say,
so turn your back & walk away.
My words cut deep,
but the silence is deafening.
I question every part of who I am.
I question every part of who I am.
It's hard to tell which side of me is in the right,
with these two different people inside of me fighting for my life.
I question every part of who I am.
The silence is deafening.
My words cut deep.
The darkness is blinding,
consuming me.
All I am is what I say,
so turn your back & walk away.
My words cut deep, but the silence is deafening.

[@juliaisbusy1839]

Purple Dandelion yeah love them all so much!

[@alix8482]

Yeah, don't shit yourselves over them. They aren't cute (normal looking guys), their screams? THEIR? Only Austin's screaming (well, Aaron also does backing screams live but they're not audible here) and omg their smiles... wtf? It's not some JB or 1D video to scream how "cute the boys are". That's why I hate fangirls, they're mostly see bands appearance than listen to their music or lyrics.

[@arcadiafen6015]

embie that's not entirely true. Yes I think they're good looking but of mice and men's music has gotten me through so much. I actually listen to and appreciate the lyrics. If I just liked looks I would listen to pop music. I'm not some phyco fan girl. I don't stalk them and try to sneak back stage so I can sleep with them. They are just people. People who happen to be very talented and produce amazing music with lyrics that can make me smile or push me to tears.

[@alix8482]

Purple Dandelion Ok :) Sorry for my a little rude comment but I guess you know what fans can be right now :)

[@is_-cw8xd]

I don't have a band but I write songs. What I used to right was mainly screams and unclean vocals with just a little clean parts. But as I grew older, different and new bands began to influence me. Bands like Anberlin, and The Maine. Now I write really chill type of stuff. I don't thing people will understand that bands change, until they themselves change in some way.

[@Candleheart445]

Me too dude I used to do only screams but now I do more popcore

[@muhammadirza3482]

Who listening in 2021 🖤

[@lumistical]

A lot of people don't like their new style and their most recent album. Personally, it's my second favorite album they've made (first is The Flood). I enjoy their new style, I like their change. I also realized it's a message in every song in Restoring Force. I love OM&M and I love this video. Keep up the good work guys, I'm so proud of you all.

[@theMOpwns]

Aaron's vocals at the beginning are ridiculously amazing. He's good on an album and live. I just wish his vocals were part of the entrance like they are here.

[@lskcbc0089]

Still in love with all their songs and I'll never stop listening to them. Sadly Austin won't make it on stage again but I'll ever support his decision. ❤

[@janedoe5980]

Not to pick a fight or argue over semantics or anything, but it wasn't much of a choice...he was literally ripping holes in his spinal cord while screaming due to his connective tissue disorder and the sheer force of his screams. If you search "Austin carlile I am second" on KZbin, there's an interview where he explains exactly how the screaming affected him. The holes in his spinal cord were so painful he had pain induced seizures, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. So I'm not sure I would consider it a choice so much as a necessity... He didn't have much of a say in the matter of how his body was being destroyed from the inside out :( However I too support him protecting his body over his career /fist bumps/

[@lskcbc0089]

@@janedoe5980 oh that's what I wanted to say I just used wrong words sorry.. I know it wasn't really a choice but to be healthier he left something very important in his life instead of just going on till the end.. He is such a strong person and he'll always be my nr 1 reason to go on. ❣

[@dilly5036]

How many times am I going to have to listen to this song today? Stuck in my head. Love his voice so much

[@thekiminthenorth504]

I love Aaron's Voice

[@dilly5036]

I mean.... Who doesn't? It's angelic.

[@WarriorofSunlight]

Aaron’s singing is the main reason I got into Of Mice and Men back when they first released Restoring Force. Now they’re one of my favorite bands ever. The sheer musical depth and beauty on this album is very under appreciated by most rock/metal fans and compared to most music in general.

[@ErikBlanc]

[@lexlixatkwa7nelson3]

Idk why but I love Austin's short dance part where he moves his arm behind his back and bops forward, also love aaron pauley a voice it's incredible

Every time I watch a music video or simply listen to any of there albums it reminds me of just how much I owe to this band, their lyrics always pull me from that dark place I can never seem to fully get out of. I've accepted the fact I most likely won't get to see them live again (Warped Tour) because they have grown too big for any stadium or arena my state has to offer, I will remain loyal and never hate them for becoming successful.

Ugh these guys sold out, I wish they'd go back to playing with smaller bands, playing smaller shows, and playing music that sounded like their first album, rather than being successful, accomplishing their dreams and actually making money to provide for their families. What assholes.

[@ItsLikeFerrari]

When I first got the album, I was skeptical about their new sound. They had a Rise Against sound at first. But the more I listened to every song, the more I realized the sound they were going for. I realized that band's change, they grow up, they want a different sound. What if a band never experimented with different sounds and had 5 albums all the same? I find THAT boring. And Restoring Force is anything but boring. The album grew onto me. I love it. And if you can't accept change, well you're just living in the past.
