Set It Off - Duality (Spoken Word Video)

[@izzyb4538]

"Can I be honest with you for a second? I've never wanted anything more than this in my entire life. You see we fight day in and day out against all odds in hopes to attain that level of success that we crave so badly. To live our wildest dreams in a world so filled to the brim with skepticism that we sometimes have to scratch and claw for that light of optimism that keeps us going. So we can know how it feels to truly fly high. And we refuse to be consumed by our surrounding; No matter how evil they may be. And it confounds me how much evil there is out there in today's world. And so much of it dedicated for the sake of being fake or fooling others just so they can get by. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a perfect person. In fact, that word makes me sick. Perfection? A word thrown around like pennies to the fountain floor. And we soak up that scumb like a flithy sponge. Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am NOT perfect. I am sick slinging sins and sipping on false confidence. Insatiable. I am stubborn, unnervingly persistent, and foolishly fishing for compliments to cope with my self-doubt. Now let me ask you this: who the HELL wants to be perfect? I am proud of my flaws and I will wear them like a badge of honour on my shirt. I am good. I am evil. I am solace. I am chaos. I AM HUMAN. And that is all I have ever wanted to be. I know who I am. Now who are you?"

[@sherleypita]

thank you

[@justingrogan1043]

thank you so much

[@floriveragarrido3170]

Thanks :D

[@undeadgomez]

Thanks m8

[@saaaaaaaaalt838]

that script + that voice = pure badass

[@AnnaLena927]

Cody's voice is so powerful.

[@searchingsmiles]

"I'm proud of my flaws" this just amazes me because in sound bites cody says in the past he used to hate his flaws, trying to make everything perfect. I love how this relates to that.

[@rocksound]

This is so cool. Good to see bands promoting things a bit differently, eh?

[@CodyCarson]

Thank you! We had a blast making this. Thanks to you and your whole staff for all the love and support. It means a lot :)

[@mattmagee3144]

Cody Carson CODY!

[@nathanbishop8293]

Cody Carson yall are my favorite band because the songs you make are amazing in every way and then yall make stuff like this which just blows away other bands keep rocking Set It Off is amazing and i plan on being a life long fan

[@katelyn6483]

+Cody Carson Hi Senpai

[@SETITOFFNEEDSMOREATTENTION]

Cody Carson notice meh senpai

[@Ru1Roy]

That was one hell of a speech.

[@tiacamp9349]

In class we has to say a quote that we loved and I chose this and my voice shook and people almost cried.

[@laurenupfold5079]

did you say the whole thing

[@206_tonks5]

nice!

[@yagirlpaola5250]

R/that Happend

[@prplghst5141]

Ha ha

[@bi_luna_games]

*SCRAMBLES TO WRITE DOWN EVERY WORD* CAN YOU GUYS STOP BEING SO AWESOME?!

[@lexiannebooder1582]

I thought I was the only one writing this down! I literally just finished writing this in my phone memo and I'm going to make it my background so I can read it everyday :)

[@MadisonGrasso]

Am I the only who started listening to this every morning?

[@justingrogan1043]

nope

[@squishyaims682]

Band Obsessed nah

[@kaileyallen7563]

Do you still listen?

[@amberbieber666666]

"perfection: a word thrown around like pennies to the fountain floor." love this simile so much. great video.

[@lilacarclight9896]

This have me chills. Cody Carson is my new role model.

[@math_bat]

Damn. Just....Damn. This was amazing. Left me speechless. People ask me why I like Set It Off. This is why!

[@ohcameron42553]

YOU CAN SEE THE BRACELET I GAVE CODY IN THIS FRICK

[@reddeath5791]

That “who are you” at the end sent chills down my spine...I love it

[@smartblondie4279]

I can't breathe. I love set it off. I love how they used the lyrics i am goos i am evil i am souls i am chaos i am human and that all i ever wanted to be... Perfect is to be without flaw, therefore impossible because everyone thinks something different is a flaw, be it too smart, too dumb, too pretty, too ugly, too fake, etc. Therefore it is impossible to strive for something that cannot exist.

[@smartass3333]

solace

[@shadowvixen2306]

Even though this isn't a song by set it off it's honestly my favorite things they ever made. I listen to it every time I feel like I forget who I am.

[@GrimmAdventuress]

almost 5 years later and his voice still gives me chills.

[@AllTimeFans]

That promo is crazy good. Such a good Speech cody. Love it so much!

[@xIWillDestroy]

The album's been out for a week now and this still gives me chills and that urge to get up and just be all i can be.

[@skyeirene5679]

gives me chills every time

[@mattthatratt]

How did I never know about this. This is something I needed and I never knew it was there. I felt his words chill me to the bone, his voice moving me to find myself and realize that wanting to be "perfect" is a sick and twisted lie we tell ourselves everyday. Don't be perfect. Be like Cody, be human. Because that is all we should ever WANT to be.

[@Ru1Roy]

Better than DiCaprio's Oscar acceptance speech.

[@certifiedplayerhater]

Whop can't make that joke anymore

[@shadowvixen2306]

I cry every time. Cody is a true preacher

[@Amanda1DLove]

Proud to say I'm in this video 😎

[@felonysteve909]

Honestly to this day I still think this would make a great movie trailer about set it off

[@c0ttonberries]

This. I really fucking needed this. For so long, I've been striving to be perfect little miss straight A student. Someone everyone will love, to discard my flaws so people will like me. But that's not who I am. I'm a strange, ADHD ginger with the stupidest facts and worst memory. I'm the one who uses a ball of wax as a stress ball, I'm the one who's overly talkative in class and shares so much. I'm the one who can't sit still to save my life. I'M JUST AN AWKWARD FRESHMAN LIVING HER LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO BE PERFECT ANYMORE. I WANT TO BE CRAZY, WEIRD, AND SOMETIMES ANNOYING. FUCK PERFECTION, WHO WANTS TO BE PERFECT?? I SURE AS HELL DON'T.

[@rojanapostol4107]

I feel the same way as you

[@lilacarclight9896]

HELL YEAH! I AGREE! WHY SHOULD I GIVE A F**K IF PEOPLE SAY I'M A FREAK?!

[@justingrogan1043]

yes i want to be the same

[@kaileyallen727]

Where do you live you and I need to be friends 😂😂 jk though don't share that info on the Internet 😂

[@thisisnotmyname1469]

Rayne Orr OMG SAME! SLAY SISTA SLAY

[@ToriAClark]

That gave me chills. It was also really cool because the last time I saw Set It Off Cody and I actually talked about the word perfect and how it wasn't real. It was pretty awesome. I really wish I was seeing them when they hit Portland again, but they're hitting the same night as another show that I got tickets to before I knew what date they'd be back. So I'm going to have to wait another tour, but waiting is worth it to see them again, they're an amazing band.

[@chrisbennett6028]

Two words... DAMN!

[@ArturGlass.C]

Chris Bennett BRING IT ON HATEEEERS

[@neonblue1649]

+Costati d'Imothep lol yes

[@xbloosaber]

dood , hearing cody make dulality into a spoken word speech, really helps emphasize the meaning of the lyrics in the song, and its inspirational, my 1st time watching this, last year i 9th grade i had a picked a quote that i wanted to use at my senior quote, from flowerfell,...but hearing this now,...i knwo im DEFINETLY gonna have a way longer senior quote!thx cody for staying true to ur self and too= ur fans, u are an idol to me and many others, nevr stop doing wat u do and love, we all love u for who u are, nevr forget that, but after this...i dont think thats possible for u, and if u ever do somehow forget, listen to urself, listen to this u, the u that u r in mind and heart, luv ya cody, set it off for life!

[@lexilatkovich4238]

i'm in this woah

[@blank_0ut700]

Most inspirational thing I've ever seen/heard in my life

[@smithgirl-oo7bh]

i needed this. everyone expects me to be a perfect girl, classy, and expect me to do things i wastnt meant to do. i have ADHD and ocd. this helps me so much. thank you

[@chloethompson2758]

I feel like I'm ready to go fight the sun or something. Like damn, that was one hell of a speech

[@sofiasilva-martinez5830]

This should be a commercial on TV!!!!!

[@okayibelieveyou9330]

That is the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

[@Schemingzy]

DAMN! :0 After I heard this for the first time I had to sit in silence for 3 minutes to comprehend the best inspirational speech I'd ever heard XD

[@gh0sttale358]

DAMN CODY THAT WAS FABULOUS

[@doubledaredean]

I MISS THIS VIDEO SO MUCH

[@petanebony]

I LOVE the message in this. I hate the word "Perfect" too. Duality is one of the best albums I've ever heard and I'm a new fan of Set It Off because it. The combination of lyrics, music and vocals are absolutely brilliant!

[@redkeyfango23]

Can I be honest with you for a second? I've never wanted more then this in my entire life. we fight day in and day out, against all odd in hopes to obtain that level of success that we crave so badly. to live our wildest dreams in a world filled to the brim with skepticism that we have to scratch and claw for that light of optimism that keeps us going so we can know how it truly feels to fly high, and we refuse to be consumed by our surrounds, now matter how evil it may be. and it confounds me how much evil there is in today's world, and so much of it dedicated to being fake or fooling others to get by, don't get me wrong, im not a perfect person in fact that word makes me sick, perfection. a world thrown around like penny's to the fountain floor and we soak off that scum like a filthy sponge, well allow me to introduce myself, I am NOT a perfect person, i am sick slinging sin and sipping on false confidence, insatiable, i am stubborn, unnervingly persistent, foolishly fishing for compliments to cope with my self doubt, now let me ask you this, who the HELL wants to be perfect? I am proud of my flaws and I will wear them like badge of honor on my shalt. I am good I am evil I am soulless, I am chaos, I am human and that's all i ever wanted to be, I know who I am! now who are you?

[@bubblebucket2247]

That is a very strong message

[@ItMeAna]

People say they're just a band but ohhhh no it's more than that. More than words can explain. This is why I love them so much and hopefully I'm going to see them on Dec. 3rd ❤

[@rileyc.3334]

I haven't had any self-confidence or motivation,or even happiness these past 2 weeks...so to find this...I'm beyond grateful. This inspires me to keep pushing through every day,no matter how shitty it is. This gives me confidence and teaches me again,to accept my flaws and be proud they are mine. I haven't had too much self-esteem over the past few days,but this...restores it! I've been needing hope again,ABD I've found it in this. life can kick my ass,And throw me to the ground,but I'm not quitting. I've been wanting to just quit ABD throw the towel in over the last 5 days...but I had a feeling in my gut,that was telling,I'd find something good,to motivate me again... Thank God I've found this. SET IT OFF. MY BUGGEST INSPIRATIONS TO JUST BREATHE ABD SIMPLY LIVE EACH DAY. SET IT OFF...my heroes who make me smile,when days are dark... I'd be lost without u guys... thank you.

[@IndigoRacer]

Very inspirational, most poignant, & damn if it doesn't create goosebumps along with a fiery will to go after what you desire. By the way, what's the symbol they all hold up at the end?

That was probably one of the most AMAZING promo videos I have ever seen. Better than other bands who just release singles. That moved me. I seriously will never forget the day I found you guys on the Vans Warped Tour '13 CD I bought in stores, when I found Kill The Lights. When I looked up Set It Off, listened, and got lost in the lyrics. You guys are /amazing/ and I hope you continue to be such motivational people for me and everybody else.

[@5lovelycarrots]
