Brent Smith- "MY MONSTERS ARE REEEAALL!"
Priest on the other side of the confessional- "Please don't shout."
😁😂😂😁
Lol. You made my morning, good sir
a literal lol
Awesome! I freaking love this! Thank you for the laugh I needed it. I've been saying this to the wrong people the whole time lol... my narcissisticly abusive mother & narcissisticly abusive spouse. I guess I'm going to see the priest on Sunday haha!
You still go to confessional? Seriously?
I'm not a veteran. I'm a child abuse survivor. Well sometimes I feel like I've survived, sometimes I'm still there. My monsters are real. This song helps me get out my anger and tears that poison me daily
Was abused for 13 years of my life in some of the sickest ways possible. I’m right here with you.
Ever had a cigarette put out on your skin
@@ashtondavis6826 A COUPEL OF TIMES;-----BY MYSELF; SOBER!!!!!!!!!!; I HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR 16 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 years.. i understand.. I wish you well
Its ptsd not ptsdfw the disorder cares not if you were in war or not the only thing to remember is to keep fighting cause there is no such thing as post traumatic stress disorder from war its just post traumatic stress disorder
This was ABSOLUTELY ME on February 20, 2023. It’s coming up on a year since I sat in that parking lot and, through uncontrollable tears, said out loud to myself, “I am SO SORRY, MOM! I just cannot do this for ONE MORE DAY!” and as I reached for my gun from the passenger’s seat, God was with me…I had left it at home. Through an adjustment to medication, I was myself again six hours later and have been well since. I found this song and it has helped me a LOT! Mental illness is a DISEASE, not a disgrace! I am so thankful I had a family who saw something was wrong and encouraged (no…begged and FORCED) me to call my doctor. Thank you, Shinedown, for making sure awareness never falls into the background! ❤️
I'm grateful that you lived on to post this message in 2024. Many others were not so fortunate. It's been a lot longer for me, since the day I almost did the unthinkable, it will have been 30 years in June of next year. My family was not "there for me." I was 17 & I just wanted to get away from the pain in my chest I'd felt for weeks since the woman I loved most in this world abandoned me without a word or leaving any sort of explanation why.
I don't know now what really stopped me. For many years I believed that it was genuinely divine intervention but another part of me suggests that it was a psychological break from reality, born from the instinct to survive, that made me pull the scalpel out & throw it across the room before I did anything irreversible. Whichever one it was I distinctly heard a woman's voice utter the words, "What if she finds out?" I didn't recognize the voice & yet it felt like I knew this voice carried power as well as authority. I knew right away what it meant. What would my ex do if she found out I'd taken my life because of her disappearance? In that same moment I KNEW that despite my family not "being there for me," they knew I was suffering & would go to the ends of the Earth or even beyond, to make certain my ex bore the full weight of that knowledge.
No matter how badly I hurt, no matter how I couldn't take a full deep breath, no matter how difficult it was to sleep & no matter how hard it was to just continue to exist another day; I never wanted to hurt my ex. My love for her was just THAT great & even if I never saw her or spoke with her again I wished for her all the best in life. I decided there & then that I would live if only to spare her the pain that I so thoughtlessly almost heaped upon her.
I lost any recollection of the subsequent 2 months & many of my earlier memories with her were warped, twisted or had pieces missing here or there. After I became cognizant again the world was somehow very different. I was the same person but at the same time I wasn't. I had most of his memories but the person inside was very, very, different. I've recovered most of the memories that were lost & most of the rest have gotten straightened out. I'm sure there are still pieces missing but they aren't so important anymore.
It's all in the past & I now have something far more important. A wife that has loved me for 28 years, two amazing children, well ... they're both adults now, but they'll always be our children. Furthermore I'm comfortable in my own skin now without needing someone else to make me whole. Perhaps that's the most important thing I've gained.
I can't even say best friend because the person my tribe lost last year on February 25, 2023 was so much more then that to us all. He was more than a father, more than a husband, more than a friend or a brother. He was a part of our souls..the literally bridge between two groups of people coming together in an unimaginable way. Not a single day has been the same since, his life and his death has bonded us in a magical fucking way and it is so fucked that he isn't here. His gun unfortunately was with him.
It doesn't feel like nearly a year...but here we are.
I am so happy you are still here, even if you don't know me.
BelfastBailey, thank you for your courage in sharing that, and for your amazing courageous willingness to get better and to receive help. 😢❤🩹 Whether it is neurological or from trauma monsters are real - "if I get trapped they'll never heal" - you set them free.
Peace from Ireland 🇮🇪 ✌🏼
We can have everything in the world and even then, it's not enough, because the monsters in our head won't go away, telling us that we don't deserve it. If I didn't get married 2 1/2 years ago and have my daugter 19 months ago, I don't think I'd be here anymore. Because without them? I wouldn't of cared to try and get help. But they need me. And your mom and the rest of your family needs you. Love ya fam. Keep your head up. Thank you for sharing.
Thank God I'm doing my thing,being sober over ,2 half years now still struggling look over me God🙏
its the people alive and not imaginary ones that never were that you have to look out for
look at israel and gaza them god loving people of the holy land hows that going for them
He IS that's why You're sober!! He was MY copilot FOREVER cause I should've been dead decades ago. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
Not many bands put this kind of ENERGY in their music anymore! These guys have unbelievable talent!
M Hand not many bands even play this kind of music anymore about real struggle
Most of the shit now is FAKE
I agree. This band came out of a lot of background noise (other bands) and has not changed but evolved and still kept who they are at their core.
well, you have green day and such
Goldentoasterpotato yeah I said most but Green Day has gotten away from there original and great roots
Green Day going more operatic on Boulevard of Broken Dreams turned me off a bit but their staying power in the industry is hard to dispute.
If you’re listening to this, you have good taste in music
Or we strapped on the Uniform and need you to understand.
My volume was off. What happened!?
Durp Durpy :/
This is the best way to listen to the best of our knowledge
Thanks
I'm a 36 year addict, i have carried Monsters my whole life and yes they kill. I'm lucky making it to 50. There's better and younger men than me laying in the ground everywhere because of these Monsters.
Every single human being on this planet knows this pain, this emotion and how it feels! We all have that pain, those skeletons and monsters deep down inside us all. This song is a pure representation that we, as human beings and society, need to talk about this and address it!! Bring the monsters and skeletons into the light!! Talk to someone!!!
Shinedown is such an underrated band. They’re so great.
What do you mean underrated they just got rated best rock band of the century
They are quite literally the opposite of underrated.
@@jeffsawyer5407 Really?😍❤
Underrated? Not even close, they are the band with most number one hits on Billboard Rock charts in history
reinwand
The hype for this music video was so real...
So happy it’s finally out 😍
Love the hell out of this man's voice.And true to the heart
Omg. This is.....no words. 😰😥😓🔥🔥💜💜
Is voice is heavenly
What a song! These guys will never let us down!
Was the hype as real as the monsters?
I'll show myself out.
This song hits home so hard. Sometimes the memories don’t fade and can control your mind.
Sadly, for some of us, this is 100% accurate. Cursed to feel the pain over and over constantly. I hate it, but I've learned to live with it.
I tell ya there are certain songs out there that can "get it out" and make you feel better. This song is one of them in getting all the garbage out of my head when I've been sucker punched by life. Good job Shinedown!!!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile.
Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan?
Have a blessed day and stay safe..
I'm an active duty Marine, a survivor of sexual assault, and a recovering alcoholic. My monsters are real, and I know if I give into them, I won't be here tomorrow. Powerful song yet again Shinedown

Thank you for your service!! And most importantly thank you for choosing to be a good person In this life, despite what you had to endure!
My monsters are memories I cant forget and thoughts I cant take back. Who's with me?
I'm right there with ya bro
Somedays the nightmares and pain caused by the monsters that haunt me from my past. Started when my brother passed away in a house fire, to me ending up in a coma, losing myself and going to the hrough a separation, to now the world in covid.... Someday I hope we all reach that light at the end of this dark tunnel
@@nickdeleseleuc3286 I know the feeling I've always said I wanted to die at 102 but honestly death couldn't come sooner... kinda dark but yea 😁
I am
@@TheFearGrizzly the only thing that keeps me going everyday is the thought of my kids without me in this world.
Saw this band along with Godsmack at Usana Amphitheater in Salt Lake City, Utah when this song was still new. These gentlemen are just phenomenal. Hell of a show to attend. Long live Shinedown.
I have to wonder, did Godsmack play their song entitled "Shine Down? 🤔
I seen the main concert as the main event and let me tell you it’s one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. They draw you in and everybody around you just rocks out. It’s like you we come as a whole and we celebrate as a hoe and we party like a whole.
If you have never seen Shinedown live put it on your bucket list they are phenomenal and one of the best live Acts in the business . I get chills just thinking of the memories of their show and even bigger chills in expectation of seeing them again this summer . Everyone has their own monsters and Shinedown is one of the best treatments for them they are changing lives through their music and helping countless lives . They should go down in history as one of the most amazing groups of people to ever have Grace this Earth . THANK YOU
They are one of the best I have ever seen
Going to see them Friday!!! Won guestlist only pair from 97.1 The Eagle. Place only holds 1800 max. Taking my daughter. 1st concert with her and she's 20👊🤘🔥
Going through a 20 yr marriage divorce🤷♂️
i saw them live in 2004 in Orlando for the hurricane relief show. They brought a 12 year old blind fan onstage to play Fly from the inside.
So this hits home for me. I am a combat wounded special operations veteran. My wife was having an affair with a 22 year old while I was fighting in Iraq in 2006/2007. I was blown up in a road side bomb that almost took my life. While I was recovering from my wounds alone, this was my nightmare and my reality. I often wondered had I been killed that day would she have been that cold accepting my flag. The icy answer to my own question is yes as I caught her in bed with him once I returned home from my rehabilitation. I wanted to kill them both. My self control took over and luckily I saved myself. I was staring down the barrel of my own 45 for years after that. My monsters are real, I did get trapped and my wounds will never heal. Thank you #ShineDown I've listened to this song and played this video countless times. It helps me visualize my own dark experience and allows that anger to escape by watching this video. You couldn't have captured the Deamons I live with and I know countless other veterans live with or take their life any better. 🇺🇸 #22aday #Veterans #OIF
That is some real live shit. I share your pain on the cheating. I knocked on doors only to be unanswered by the pussy who hid behind them. Rock on soul brother!
Damn, I feel ya brother, I may only be 16 and never have experienced to horrors of war, I know what you feel, for her to cheat on you as you fight for your country, to come home injured and half dead, to come home to her, in bed with another man, shit's rough man, to hell with humans, cheating and lying bastards the lot of em, and to the few who aren't, thank you, you sir are an inspiration, Life takes turns, and most don't go how we always want, get better my man
Sorry this happened to you! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸
They are all hoes brother.
Thank you for your Service! Hope everyday gets better for you!!
I love how Brent puts so much energy!
Your emotions are contagious and make you feel the music.
He's probably just bipolar
🔥🔥🔥

U gotta hear this track !!!
Monster is cancer, am an 8 time survivor, and going through PTSD is big monster itself
My monster is self inflicted torment blaming myself for things I have no control over losing family members at a young age attempting suicide over 40 times from ages 10-15 self harmed from 16-20 been clean since I turned 21(4 years now) this song helped me stay strong. Much appreciated Shinedown.
"We stopped checking under our beds for monsters when we realized they were inside of us"
VarietyMusicLover Love tha comment so true
Very true..
Amen
It’s hard to contain the monsters inside of us!!! Some people don’t get it or want to understand it!! They just want to judge everyone when they don’t know the pain that some go through!!! If this pertains to any of you just keep fighting and hanging on to life!! Trust in the good Lord above!!!
So true @ VarietyMusicLover & well said my friend... I thank you. 🌝🙏♥️
This is one band that has music that just hits home and is real.
for real
Mine is Bipolar Depression. Its been a long, hard road. Plenty of battles in between. Plenty to come. Go ahead and bring it. Im ready this time.
This song is so powerfull, to anyone is struggling with depression or knows someone who is .
Jason Yancura or anxiety 💚
Yeah! And/or heartbreak! 💔
Like bipolar like me...did my wife married a monster🤫🤫🤫...
Yeah.... big ow
@@Pippi4TeaInTrees ,yep this song hits on so many different levels of pain.
I just saw them in concert for the first time about a week ago. The lead singer spent several minutes talking about how both he and the band are passionate about mental health and how it's often downplayed in society. I now have the upmost respect for this band. Also, this guy can freakin' sing...let me tell ya!! Go see them if they come even remotely close to where you are.
I got to see them when they can to the pavilion at star lake. Best concert in my opinion!
i just saw them too
i wish i could see kiss in person or ac dc but that was before my time i can only imagine
my wife and I have seen them 8 timesm they never disappoint.
Aftershock? I was there.
Went to see them for the first time last night. When they played this song I just felt like the anger and depression and the pain dissipated. I'm hoping to ride this feeling for a while
I've loved this angelic voice since the first time years ago in KC. But even more as the years go I love the person he has become. Yesterday I found out I'm gonna be fighting a monster that never had a clue was lurking. I will not lay down and give into it! I'm a fighter and a survivor. This beautiful soul and all of shinedown will be going on this journey with me because their music is my musical anthem! Thank you Shinedown for being you and much love always!
For everyone out there like me, and this song hits home hard, you are not alone.
Thank you. I'm struggling right now. Good to know I'm not alone
I'm with you ❤
Thank you. 😭
Xx
I struggle with a demonic presence in my life. There is no pill that helps the voices. I don't believe they are imaginary or a sickness . It's a spiritual malady. My only weapon is the Lord Jesus Christ and so I place my trust in Him ...."BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD"yes my monsters are real. Yes they are trained how to kill. And yes they just laugh at how I feel. but remember"I HAVE GIVEN YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SNAKES AND SCORPIONS AND TO OVERCOME ALL THE DEVILS MAGIC.
This is one of those songs you have to restart before its over because it's so good...
Did the same thing lol
Literally been doing that for the last 30 mins
I thought I was the only one who did that with songs lmao. If I like a song I never let it finish xD.
Amen
Let's twin
This song will never get old. 🔥
I'm coming bk here in 2023 to say I CAN'T SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH for this song. Big Thanks 2 all involved in making this song! Shinedown, u have put healing and validation into a song! Much Respect!🤝❤💯
Anyone with mental disorders or any sort of addiction can totally relate to this song. Thank you Shinedown for making amazing music
Yeah I can.
Well said
No just a brown guy who likes this song
no cus......... MY MONSTERSSSS ARE REALLLL
%100 agree
This band is my go to when the depression and anxiety try to take over. Their music always helps me crawl out of the hole that threatens to swallow me whole.
for sure. They give us good vibes as well!
Absolutely get it! Relatable on so many levels! Stay safe and healthy!
Amen! Especially this year 2020!
I feel that statement bro
how when they are so depressing?
If you get that feeling while listening to this song remember that your not alone, and you have the power to get through whatever it is you are going through. Don’t let the monsters win , I love you
Been a fan for 20yrs this year thank you for all the music you gentlemen have given me in these years

I thank you for your good heart
We should have stayed
Never forgotten and I will fight for Justice until my last breath! Born ready!
@@CYBRSOS We look like cowards with our tails in between our legs and of no fault of the Marines who actually had more courage than our leaders making those cowardly moves to leave.
The commander telling those Marines to go in close street quarters and corral a bunch of desperate civilians in a street setting should have been the one leading the way and jumping over the bomb to save his marines because he obviously was making a suicide call.
What a shame to all the military to just up and leave and throw away all their work.
We had a fortified airport with two runways in Bagram. We should have evacuated from there and make a strict perimeter 2-3 miles around that airport and use air support to neutralize any threat.
My monsters won. I spent 10 years in prison, and there is a person in the world who can say they are a victom of me. Thats a terrible feeling ill never forgive myself for. If you feel so hopeless that you dont see a way forward, talk to somebody. Youll either hurt yourself or someone else if you dont. Dont let yourself create a victim, even if its you
We lose these battles when we try to fight them alone. Man was not meant to battle demons alone. And you are never truly alone.
Through Christ, and the thousands, millions or even billions feeling a similar pain.
United we stand or divided we fall
shinedown easily one of the best rock underrated bands
Rippy
They’re not underrated at all. In fact they’re very popular
Underrated? This has 10 million views 😂
@@ihateadverts 2 months ago it had barely a million
Don't forget Chevelle
I agree!
Highly underrated song. This one hits deep.
Zaphod Stone I totally agree 100%
Zaphod Stone I couldn’t agree more!! ❤️
31 millions views says it kicks major azz! The mainstream can eat it!
Very true and 31 million people agree 👌
thats what she said also i agree i love this song
R.I.P. to all brothers and sisters that gave it all for our freedom. Amen 🙏
This is my all time favorite song by Shinedown.🐿
been in a dark place on and off for a very long time... At 54y for the first time i feel good, in my soul. the darkness will always be there serve its purpose for good instead of Destruction of Self . Destroyed others by not becoming what they did want me to become...Them. I Am Me Love ;you All! Stand Tall Be You
Pure. Raw. Emotion. SHINEDOWN in my opinion has no bad songs out of all of them, genuinely impressed once more 👍
They really never miss a beat, every song is a blessing. And they're so diverse, sad songs and happy songs, angry songs, everything.
Agreed and that voice!!!!
agreed and i love your name lmao
I Admire these Guys. Very Inspirational. Sheila Cawthon
it disturbs me to know there's people out there hurting more than me. people working through your monsters, there's hope. its never too late to change your mind. take it one day at a time and dont let the negative thoughts get you down.
Yes I'm 47 and recently learned how I am my worst critic
There will always be some one going through more than you are
Monsters grow stronger the more you let them feed on you. I myself have allowed them to feed on me for years but the struggle lessens the harder you fight to keep them out of your life. Strive on people they will subside. Strive On.
I Feel Like giving Up On The World, These Monsters Are Killing Me Slowly. And I dont now my purpose in life, this band and their music is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I never was one for promises but I’ll do my damndest.
Seeing all these comments let's me know I'm not alone with my monsters... Thank you Shinedown for this song💜🪽💯
Truest words have Neva been spoken💯
why u gotta make me cry in the middle of the day tho
That's exactly what I was thinking!!!
Me too
same
For the night needs to rest

I can not express how much I love this band. They have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. Keep rocking on and being awesome. #SHINEDOWN #FOREVER
Same!
Yep...me 3!! They have touched my inner being much like Pink Floyd back in another day and time
Same here. Been a fan since the first album. They have helped me understand my own journey and struggles like nothing else in my life.
"I can not express how much I love this band. They have helped me through some of the hardest times of my life." Absolutely brother. My sentiments precisely.
Never leave a man down
"Allright, one song and then going to sleep"
*Listens to the whole Shinedown playlist*
Dragos Popovici high five 😂
Lol im doing that rn
I do this with shinedown and linkin park
god i hate when i accidentally listen to the entire shinedown playlist man, i just need sleep.
Shinedown is the best thing to happen to music since Aerosmith. If U don't like this band U don't like music.
My demons won't prevail with the armor of God!
My monsters are definitely real. Several times over the last week I've taken what I thought would be my "last trip". Took the shot of liquid courage but still didn't have the nuts to do it.
I am a survivor of a very traumatic upbringing as a child. This song gets me through most days. “My monsters are real” My monsters are literally my parents and siblings. I’m 23 years old, and it’s just my son and I. I’m completely alone. I didn’t realize how alone I’d be this far into my life. This song literally saves me everytime
It helps make us stronger. When we experience the worst everything after it is easy.
@@TheSupersisk I needed to hear that, thank you
@@melberchtold7652 of course. Stay strong and fight those monsters.
It feels like it being alone. Every. Single. Day. I know. But being alone is so much better than being abused.
Keep on going man! Raise your son!
I used to run and hide from the shitty memories but the older I get I realize that if you can embrace them it makes you better and stronger
I'd like to think I'm running and avoiding my ungodly fucked up past but deep down it what drives me to be the bada$$ that I need to be for my daughter, and to protect what's mine
I was bullied relentlessly throughout elementary school. The teachers were told, the principalS (plural) were told and did nothing. I was suspended twice for defending myself, when my parents asked why the ones who were making fun of me weren't punished as well, according to that bitch, "there's no proof they did anything wrong" (I honestly believe she was a moron, I was outnumbered by these jerks, so because my story was different from theirs, I must be lying? Really?), and I learned this years later, but she brought my younger sister into her office to ask her if I did this sort of thing at home, she answered sarcastically "what do you think?" and the moron started to write down "yes" to which she said "that's a no" and she erased it and wrote no. She did not have any qualifications to be around elementary school kids. She would be considered one of my worst enemies along with that class of creeps I was stuck in. Also a reason why when someone says "I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy," I say, "then they aren't your worst enemy" I'd wish that on mine in an instant. Those punks got away with their shit. I had to learn by moving across the country that not all schools work that way, so there's that. I moved back to my hometown since and I'm almost certain some of them are in prison now. But then again, especially in CA, who knows. The criminals can steal from a store and not get arrested for it so they could very well be doing whatever and not getting punished for it. If I ever recognize them; I'd probably punch them with everything I have. Consequences be damned.
I agree whole heartly
In order to understand great peace and love you must have had to endure some hard times. It shows you how to understand that your just human and it can't be bad forever !
Not all memories can be escaped. I still walk through the hell I was dropped into 5 years ago
I don’t know why but this song randomly plays in my head when I’m at work
Thanks for getting it out
Music like this is powerful. What would the world be without music?
Thank you Shinedown.
I'm so glad my dad took me to see them this year! They were totally worth it and put on a hella good show
When this song first came out it was shortly after my father was diagnosed with ptsd. I’m a daddy’s girl and he was really honest with me about what he’s going through and gone through since getting out of the service. When I heard this song not only did it resinate with me on a personal level but all I could do was think about my dad. I sent it to him and he called me later crying, which he never does and he told me that this song was what he’s gone through since ‘98. Thank you Shinedown for this and so many other songs that have helped me and my father not just heal but survive.
Rock music soothes the savage beast
Your dad is lucky to have such a great daughter
Thank you so much. I am a daddy’s girl all the way.
Thank you for your bringing lite to what many go through. You both are fortunate to have each other.
David Silva thank you. We are still struggling a little bit we are working though it. Fingers crossed I get enough saved up so I can take my dad to see them live. It’s always been a dream of his and since I’m in college it’s maybe $5 a pay check that I can save.
DEPRESSION IS REAL MONSTER....THANKS SD
My friends favorite song, we use to drink and listen. Now I’m here to drink for him and listen. RIP brother
Sorry for your loss. Been there.
I am 59 years old. “Found” Shinedown a few years ago. I can’t get enough of them.
I found them today through this song :^
I'm 59 also. My son turned me on to Shinedown. I met the singer (can't remember his name) back when 45 was there big hit. I got a signed poster for my son!
I'm 52 seen them in concert twice and looking forward to seeing them again. Best singer in rock right now. FYI try some Highly Suspect also.

I'm Gen X. Actually a year young than Kurt Cobain. Nice try
Every time I hear this song I can vent everything I carry inside every day. I have been battling anxiety and depression for years. There are days that although I feel better, I know that my monsters are tormenting me. This song helps me get out what I feel. Thank you Shinedown. My favorite band forever.
stay strong
You’re not alone friend. Things get better with time. Keep that head up.
Oh hell yes totally agree
🙏🙏💖💖🤘🏻✌🏼🫶🏼

I’ve lived a terrible life up to the age of 31… I pray we all stay strong!
my monster is the part of me who picks up the drugs, and takes over who i am, it clouds my mind when i speak of it like now with the drugs in my system. but slowly with everyday ,even tho i may still have myself taken over im chanting and raging against it, a prayer killing this thing from within. pray for the man inside this hand that now writes.
One of the few bands that stands the test of time and continuously puts out great music. Keep doing your thing.
Yes! They deliver on and on ..impressive stuff!🤘🏼🖤💛
I agree. Today, I honestly have to hear everything from them, Sevendust, Alter Bridge.
Only Sum 41 did better imo

U gotta hear this track !!!!!
Lyrics :
Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you're somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
'Cause my monsters are real
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
Leave a light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair
'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
Thankyou for the lyrics 🤗
Thank you for the lyrics. My monsters are very real but they are gone ever since i walked away from the demon life I was living. They do come back at times.
Not to be rude but this trend died, let. It. Die.
Thank u. Hits hard
We all have monsters
“There’s no turning back. If I get trapped, I’ll never heal.”
Felt that one a little too hard in a song that hits hard to being with.
How true! Excellent band. A huge amount of strength in their music. They have that courage in real life ❤️🙏
The only way to play this song is on repeat🥰👌
Edit: And VERY LOUDLY💯
And bass
The only way to play this song is loud and angry
Over and over again
You forgot the on full blast part
So true...
*MY MONSTERS ARE REAL*
holy shit what a crazy shock of endorphins/chills I had the first time he hit that line
I literally jumped when he hit that first "My monsters are real". I love music that I can feel down to my bones, and this one does it.
@@wildtigerwoman yea man for sure. I have a really fucked up past I feel that line in my soul.
I keep repeting it
@@mitchellarmyguy2515 me too...not happy to say that
Same!!
When I first heard this song and saw the video I was like OMG.. bad ass group and the singer is bad ass, point blank, period.. need more song like this.. 😊
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Wow
Shinedown has been like therapy to me since I was fortunate enough to discover them. Their lyrics and energy of their awesome music speaks volumes to me.
Fortunate since 2004
Agreed. They've been there for the darkest and the brightest point in our lives too
Just a joke, but my volume bar also speaks volumes to me. 😂
Their songs always have a very amazing resonance with people that go through shit like the song “Bully” anyone that’s been bullied connects with that
@@gamekrave6143 ha ha ha
05/2024.....good tunes never die
I love this song! It hits home on a personal level! I Thank God for this song & listen to it for strength sometimes over & over. Thank you!
I love how the singer can change his voice like that. He's a freaking chameleon
Chameleons do mimic their environments. It's really just a question of being able to hear.
When does he do it?
@@vincentpari88 from beginning his voice is low then in middle it gets high pitched. suppose u listen close u might figure it out 4 yourself lmfao
@@crisknapp1990 ill rewatch it carefully
@@vincentpari88 cool
Within the last few days, I finally said goodbye to my "family" after years of emotional abuse and a few occasions of physical assault from my alcoholic brother. I was always the good son, trying to do everything in my power to help after my father passed away. I finally hit a breaking point and realized just how much this song resonates with my situation. It's ironic, the ones we hold close to us are always the ones who purposely cut the deepest
Good for you brother
Hey, Kevin,
Are you doing well now? I truly hope so! Sometimes we need to leave in order to keep ourselves safe and sound. Now it is the time to find a new family... Of people who think like you, make you smile, make you feel warm and loved.
I am smiling from the other side of the world,
Hristi
U have mad strength n power use it to soar

U gotta hear this track !!!
your last line hits real hard bro💯
salute to the Q's.
take down the bad guys. you have my blessing. show em how the angels handle business!! 17
One of the most powerful and relatable songs Ive ever heard.
Half the comments: "this song gave me courage to fight my monsters"
*Me who just likes the song and it's meaning*
True, I didn't have a troubled past but this song just SLAPS
@@jenniferraisler5960 it may be that way but I don't really have any monsters that bother me that much, so I just really enjoy the song for what it is.
@@electroknightyt9833 same
Because a lot of people have endured a lot of shit. I work in a prison and a lot of them are products of abuse. They turned to drugs to medicate themselves. They don't care about anything because no one ever cared about them as children.
*good for you* no but seriously, that’s great man.
My mother was my monster. It's hard for many to understand the hate and fear a young child can have towards someone who's supposed to be his protector. The anger will live in me forever.
I totally understand! If you don’t embrace it, it will make you sick and literally kill you. I am 65 yrs old. I worked on it all my life. I hated her for not protecting me. But I did what I could with her and learned to accept the rest. She passed away in my arms this last August. With a smile on her face from COVID. I feel more whole than ever. Because I accepted the fact that she too was only human! Accept Forgive and move on!! I wish you peace!!
You can tear yourself apart with that thought believe me. I won’t say anything you haven’t heard before but I know where you are coming from and my heart goes out to you because there’s love out there ( I guess that’s why I have so many surrogate mother/father figures ) don’t let other people weigh your self worth benevolent people don’t tear each other down they lift them up
I can't even imagine what you went through and what your still fighting. I'm so sorry.
All I can say is Amen to that on all levels.
Wow..i can only pray that u let go of that bitterness n forgive..its like a cancer it will eat u alive if u let it...God Bless
Been suffering with PTSD since 2008 serving on Ops in Afghan, literally everyday is a struggle battling the demons, amount of times I have stopped myself taking my life. The monsters never go away they try to drag me down daily. This song gets me so much I listen to it on repeat.
If you want another really good song is bulletproof by Godsmack
@ethanhirthler7585 thank you 😊
Shinedown is a very good band with songs that deal with real issues in life..Love them~ ❤💯
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile.
Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan?
Have a blessed day and stay safe
Shinedown: How deep and lowkey connected do we want Monsters and Get Up to be?
Also Shinedown: Yes.
TheDHCreator question where did this joke originate?
@@shoaibmalik9096 The type of meme itself or the fact that I used it to show how this video and the Get Up video are just visual parts of the same story that we as the fans and audience weren't expecting? 😂
@@shoaibmalik9096 Watch the video for Get Up. That may help you understand what he's saying.
I seen it too, they did an awesome job 😇
Brent Smith said this album was like a Book, a beginning middle and end. They wanted to create a story for their fans.
I love this lead singer.. u can tell he feels every emotion in every song.. mad props to this band u guys are truly amazing
Yes!!! Truth 😁❤️💋
Brent is the best singer ever ❤️❤️
Best part is that he's so genuine live. You can tell he truly loves doing what he does and is super grateful to the fans!
Yep, these guys are great. If you haven't already try Breaking Benjamin, Alter Bridge, Seether and Three Days Grace, you'll like them too.
And so are you. ❤
I've been listening to this song on loop for an hour. It's getting me through some stuff.
I have old monsters,now I have new ones!! God will prevail in the end!! Amen 🙏
“If I get trapped then I’ll never heal” spoke volumes to me 👌🏻👌🏻
Texan 07 yeah same, I feel I can resonate the those lyrics
I don’t know about everyone else, but I think this is an f-ing badass song!
Gia deserves a novel prize because HER MONSTERS ARE REAL
Absolutely..!!
Absofuckinglutely
Agree
me too sick
Good for you Brent.. These monsters never say die. Take a shot of liquid courage
Love the energy in this song for workouts
This song reminds me of my addiction. Im clean for about one and a half year. Ive never been that strong and happy, totally different person! I wish for you who read this comment that you gonna get it and realize what is wrong inside of you! Peace and Love brothers and sisters!
You are an inspiration to us all. May love and happiness follow you everywhere!
well done man we're proud of you and i know people who have explained to me how they feel and i cant imagine fighting with that small demon in the back of your head who wants to go back to your drink and screw up everything you've worked towards
Congratulations. Keep it up. It only gets better. Sobriety date March 6,2013
Way to go. Keep your head up and moving forward.

U gotta hear this track !!!!!
This song portrays how easy it is to hide the monsters inside. Everyone thinks they know you…but you never know the demons people are facing. That’s why I don’t believe suicide is selfish. Some people feel they have no way out, no other way to escape the monsters….
The passion you all show in this video is beyond this universe. Thank you so much for your music and vision!
This song gave me the strength to talk about the abusive home I grew up in and cope with it all.
Respect 🤝🤘🏻
I am glad that the music that we hear touch us in ways we never could imagine god bless u all for that beautiful and fucking incredible feeling. Break throughs like that music touches my soul that way and sometimes other kinds of therapy and I would say can't touch Us in ways that music can and it's impressive how it does I mean everyone relates to some kind of music or another and music heal the soul I think personally but enough of my Babble I think this is a great band I think they're all great bands and doesn't matter what genre music is beautiful and it is real and I can relate to most of it just didn't just like anybody else so thank you for sharing
Know that we all send you strength and courage to fight the bad and find happiness and sheer joy in the good, You are loved!
Stay strong, self improvement is never easy. It’s always worth it. I’m proud of you for what it’s worth.
