Thanks for this song, I will try cover by ear, tihis song is so meaning for my life czcams.com/video/65qxrTRXzb8/video.html
You guys do twitch?
"Disappearing hurts less than asking for help" it's so heartbreaking how true this is.
i relate so much i wish my health didnt give me away
I came directly to the comments after that line for this reason! My heart sank 😥
First time I’ve liked at 199 now you have 200!
But I agree. I actually ran away from my home for awhile, then decided to return the next day. It was a nightmare. But I’d rather do that than talk it out with someone. 👍
Id rather run away then to talk to someone cuz no one listens and cares
@@darthcrio1 I care, people who don't care are the idiots of this world.
I have… honestly felt this way for so long but never had a way to put it into words. Thank you for doing it for me guys (: 🔥🧡
Appreciate that 🧡
@@CitizenSoldier So beautiful, again on time, big love 💗.i get judged and feel rejected.Аnd music so good , lyrics,instrumental , voice 😍
And yet you somehow don't want to stop. Living like a scarecrow is living in a cage, and having the key to escape so close yet too far away. Even though you know it's messed up it distracts you from the pain, and that's why you're fine telling lies everyday.
@Bush boi I had the same feeling when I heard "Would Anyone Care" first time in my dark age.
Same
The way Citizen Soldier can put my feelings, thoughts and experiences into words and create such wonderful and vivid pictures with music is something I'm so thankful for. I genuinely love every song I've heard from them. This song is something I didn't even know I needed.
Appreciate those words friend 🧡
@@CitizenSoldier hello 👋🏻 can you check the video in my shorts im drawing you !
Yeah, it's had me going "it's like they are spying on my life since birth & are writing songs about me..."
Never have I found any other group that can do that! I've tried, too.
I suffer from an identity disorder. The original me truly feels like it is dead. Like the primary killed it and replaced it. at times, I hardly feel human, even when I'm trying to be the old me, it's an act. My depression and self hate hurt so bad that I often give into the feelings of insanity because it is easier. All of the songs that I have heard from you guys speak to me. But this one almost feels like it was written for me. Thank you for the change you are making for letting people like me feel less alone and for making it less looked down upon to feel the way we feel.
"I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
.....
I hid my heart up in the attic
Stuck pieces deep inside these walls
For every time I was ignored or called dramatic
I'm only safe feeling nothing at all"
Much love and I love the beat! ❤️
This is already one of my new favorite CS songs.
This is literally what i feel
@@rares-v- you're probably like 15, you don't even understand what being broken by life means lol.
Disappearing hurts less then asking for help
it's so damn true, when I'm hurting I usually just disappear, because I can't bring myself to ask for help, it feels like I would just be a burden on my friends
You gave me the rest! Scarecrow, the song I waited nearly 7 months for. And the wait was worth it. The deepness, the guitar-solo, the emotion in this song, just perfect. I love this song! Scarecrow: the emotionless and lifeless body, what a metaphora and message! This song is a masterpiece, thank you so much. It was a great time through listen to this album. I'm looking forward for the next record!🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for sticking with thus though the journey Leon 🧡 Much love
Good god, where was the song when I was dating my ex. Even to this day Threw it in his face that he made his 'Doll'. Walk this way, talk this way. Don't open your mouth, don't tell the truth, don't have an opinion because anything you say will be twisted and used against you. Scarecrow/Doll is NOT healthy at all, I had to learn this the hard way. You feel so dead inside because you have to fake it on the outside, the only one you can trust is the verison of you thats screaming inside for help but no one can hear you as your lips are sealed shut.
You put it really well! I always treated my ex (1st GF) really well because I cared about her greatly, her! Not who I could mold her into! If you care about someone for who they are, well, you wouldn't control them like that guy did with you!
Sorry you went through that... Imo a man that does that isn't a man at all. We don't claim him.
It's a mystery to me how one can do that. I'd be furious with myself.
I sincerely hope that both of you found someone better or are on your way there.
“I’m bulletproof if I’m somebody else” hits home way more than I thought it would
same...
For me it was when he said back when I was me I lived to be replaced
"Disappearing hurts less than asking for help"
Ngl that part make my breath hitch- It's too accurate:''))
Once more you guys have created music that can unbury what so many keeo hidden to themselves, and make them feel heard. This masterpiece is anotjer example of how you are literally the soldiers for the lost. Thank you.
"Turns out being fake can be a saving grace." 🧡🧡🧡🧡 That is such a powerful line going into the chorus. I loved the second verse as well. "I hid my heart up in the attic / Stuck pieces deep inside these walls / For every time I was ignored or called dramatic / I'm only safe feeling nothing at all." This song is definitely one of my favorites from the album 🧡🧡🧡
"You're not talking to me, you're talking to a scarecrow"
That line hits close to home, bc I don't feel like myself for years. Fighting with your last bit of energy to survive it's harder than I thought.
🧡🧡 This was one hell of a journey, I'm glad I was there through every release, and as always I can't wait for whats next, you never disappoint, never stop Citizen Soldier 🧡🧡
Thanks for sticking with us through the journey Jacob 🧡
This is probably the best song I've ever heard about masking.
A lot of people in abusive environments go through this but there's not a lot of media which talks about it as it's an uncomfortable topic. One again thank you Citizen Soldier
As someone with complex adhd... having a song like this about masking is a saving grace
For me, it's because of emotional abuse. I can hardly feel anything except negative emotions.
This song brought me to my knees….for two years, I was under the thumb of a man who ruined me.
He ridiculed me, my identity and my family.
He drove me to self harm and thinking I’d be better off dead.
I was able to escape physically but he still rules my thoughts from time to time
I raised my 3 siblings. I did so with mental illness, physical illness, abuse from the one who should've been raising them, etc. This is beautiful beyond belief. Like I've commented on a previous short/video, people like you/me, this type of advocacy for abuse and trauma, it's what makes it worth it to be alive. Thank you so much for your beautiful lyrics/music. On a daily basis, someone needs to hear.
People who have had to put on a happy face, pretended to be ok when they obviously weren't... this hits home. Thank you 💙 this is a beautifully sad song.
"Disapearing hurts less than asking for help". That hits close to home.
"Cause disappearing hurts less than asking for help." You guys kill it on every SINGLE song! I've been a fan for the last four years, and I honestly can't imagine not having your music in my life. 🖤
"Who I am only put me through hell
I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!"
This hits and describes me harder than anything has before.
I am so glad I found you as a band. Every song released has a strong message, and some of them hit when I needed them most. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us struggle too.
Glad you found us 🧡
"I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else"
Those lyrics are killer, and they hit hard
Another great song and video from CS! this is such a great album as always! I hope everyone that sees this has the best day/night you can! And sending hugs to anyone that wants/needs them!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🧡🖤🧡
Appreciate you 🧡
If y'all only knew how much of an impact your songs have on me, and how deeply that I relate to them. I have CPTSD, GAD, Social Anxiety, Chronic Depression, ADHD, and Executive Dysfunction. I have survived 20+ attempts since the age of 12, and I am 29 right now. Whenever someone asks me what my current favorite band is, I always say Citizen Soldier (you guys), and it's been that way for about 3 years and counting. Genuinely a huge fan.
You guys have genuinely saved my life numerous times and also have given words to the deepest pains and feelings that I didn't know how to express or share outloud. You've put into words the darkest thoughts and secrets that nobody knows unless they've felt it themselves.
You guys remember, you are beautiful souls too, and there's nothing wrong with being imperfect. You save lives with the music you make and speak for those who no longer can.
Honestly that hook at the beginning is one of the best ones on scarecrow
Scarecrow hits on a whole other level! Let the words and truth of the unspoken continue to flow!
Appreciate that 🧡
"rejection has me terrified" The hallmark of my life.
This song is pretty much the theme song of my life. The anthem if you will.
I love this song even though it makes me feel wrong. Because it's like listening to a mirror.
I’ve been with this band since the release of “stronger than my storm” and I gotta say, I don’t regret it. Every song is beautiful and hits a person hard in its own way. I wish more people could hear these songs.
I cried listening to this one, amazing lyrics as always citizen soldier. 💜
Thanks Hunter 🧡
Love it... as always the melody call backs are beautiful and powerful. Hope you all are well. 🧡
Love to hear that 🧡
"Buried alive by the things they've said" that hit deep!
Lyrics (from google obvsly) :
I chained my ghost up in a basement
Six feet back behind my eyes
Some nights I think this house is gonna cave in
Rejection has me terrified
Now I hang from a wooden frame
It keeps the crows away
This is where I'm safe
Made of straw and a funny face
Turns out being fake can be a saving grace
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
Buried alive by the things that they've said
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
Who I am only put me through hell
I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
I hid my heart up in the attic
Stuck pieces deep inside these walls
For every time I was ignored or called dramatic
I'm only safe feeling nothing at all
Now I hang from a wooden frame
It keeps the crows away
I'm better off insane
I cut the skin to make a brand new face
'Cause back when I was me
I lived to be replaced
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
Buried alive by the things that they've said
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
Who I am only put me through hell
I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
Secret suicide
But no one can tell
'Cause I'm just terrified of being myself
The real me's inside
But no one can tell
'Cause disappearing hurts less
Than asking for help
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
Buried alive by the things that they've said
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
Who I am only put me through hell (put me through hell)
I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else (somebody else)
I killed myself but no one knows
You're not talking to me
You're talking to a scarecrow!
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
You can't kill me if I'm already... dead
This song is spectacular. Thank you for not only making awesome music, but for always saying the words most of us feel.
Much love Stephen 🧡
I'm already in love with each lyric! This song kicks ass!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate that 🧡
I'm glad I've survived long enough to hear this incredible album 🖤❤️
The amount of people that have broke me, I now can't cry. Instead I just act like everyone else. I never tell anyone, so thank you for doing this song.
" 'cause disappearing hurts less then asking for help" words of wisdom right there!!
Every song you have made has helped someone. Including myself. I suffer from multiple disorders. Your songs is like a playlist when I need to express myself. Thanks so much! Keep going!
i suffer like you aswell, these songs really help me 😔🙏 get well soon :)
This was me for many years. My father would sa me for 12 years and i disassociated for most of my teenage years. Cant remember anything other than the abuse. Thank you for a song that puts that feeling into words. 💖
" turns out being fake can be a saving grace" that has saved my life several times
This is amazing! The lyrics hit really deep as an autistic female who has been masking my whole life. Thank you for this!
Oh, you too? I’m turning 15 in January, and I haven’t got any friends. Everyone thinks I’m weird or annoying, and I don’t understand why. If you have any tips that you think might be helpful, please, do tell.
@@Lick_A_Rock I don't think I have anything too useful, but one thing I can say for certain is that whoever those people are, you don't have to listen to them. People who don't see you for the wonderful person, you are, have no business trying to be in your life. Working with yourself on loving and respecting yourself more is so much more important than paying attention to what others say about you. I'm 25 now and still have no friends, but I'm working towards being myself more, being happy to be in my own skin, and to proudly show that I am autistic, because nothing is wrong with that. Nothing is wrong with you. If others criticize you, it says more about them as a character than you.
I always mask so when people are like be your true self I’m like shocked that they would want me to be real.
I'm also autistic... I've hidden everything from everyone, even my family...
And others think that I'm annoying as well... I never mean to, it's just who I am, I'm a stress ball cus I also have anxiety and ADHD (Oh I get judged because of having anxiety and/ or ADHD as well)
Chills as I listened… such a powerful song and amazing lyrics that speak to the soul. Thank you for making music for the voiceless. 🧡🧡🧡
Much love 🧡
Hello jake you won't know me but I want to thank you for the many songs you've blessed us with aswell as your fellow band members I suffer with cerebal palsy aswell as my mental health issues I don't often write comments but we all fight battles that others are unaware of to the naked eye.. I'm a father of 2 beautiful girls which is my reason and duty to carry on.. So again thankyou for carrying on the fire of determination for all of us xx
I’ve felt like this for so long. I know this pain. Everyone reading this, your not alone!
I'm literally having a mental breakdown, the timing is perfect, I can relate to every single sentence. Thank you for an another masterpiece ❤️
Im praying for you, doll. I'm sorry that you're feeling like this. You are so strong! You are enough! You are LOVED! Brave warrior, fight and overcome!
Hang in there friend 🧡 Sending hugs
I listen to ur music,when I am having a bad day. It keeps me stronger. And my mother needs more then anything now. Since it a few days after Thanksgiving that my stepfather passed away.
Your music always makes me feel like I'm never alone. I listen to it all the time and feel sm better. 💜
You're not alone 🧡
This song is amazing! I love the addition of the melody from Monster Made of Memories. I've been listening to this song on repeat for the last hour on spotify. Keep up the great work!!! Scarecrow has been my favorite album so far!
Happy to hear that 🧡
This is how I feel I've felt like this since I was 7 years old and it's got worse in time with bullying and trauma
This song is amazing I am so glad to hear this band when they came to 2016. I love your music Citizen Soldier!!!!!
The way I've been able to keep myself alive is by finding one thing in the near future to look forward to
Thank you for being my one thing
Appreciate you 🧡
JUST GOTTA SAY: I WAS IN YOUR TOP LISTENERS 😭
only i listen to you on my brothers shared spotify.
I just want to say that im so proud to see how far youve came since your 3 songs on spoti i love your music. I love the message your spreading and i hope it NEVER changes.
Im hooked and i dont want to leave.
Love you guys! Thank you for your message ❤️🔥
I can't even fully explain what your music means to me. I found you guys like 2 months ago, and it's almost all I listen to. The past half a year me and my psychologist have been working a lot with feelings and I had to write on paper cuz I couldn't speak the words. Your music helps me so much with putting words on feelings never had anything to relate to this much. I've been clean from hurting myself for 4 years now, it's not easy and I still struggle. But the nights I feel the urge I put on your music, listen or sing my pain out, and it helps with the urge. Love you guys ❤️
All their songs have saved me. I can't express how grateful I am for their songs.
It always amazes me how it seems like you can see inside me head - know my thoughts and feelings ♥️
Listened to the three new songs on Spotify. And literally am gonna say this has been a fucking great Album. I have listened to this shit on repeat. You guys were the main people I listened to on Spotify. Funny enough I was the top 1% to listen to guys this year. Great work keep it up can't wait to see what you guys do next year. And hopefully whenever hoodie merch is up I will slam on buying it
Appreciate you 🧡
the unknown guy in the media on the way to making the most badass sound in the existence of mankind
One year after the day I’ve first listened you guys, when Spotify just randomly showed me this song, and it still hits me the same way. And yeah, nowadays you’re on my Top 5 artists I’ve listen more last year according to my Spotify Rewind.
This entire album, especially, inspired me to created one of my favorite RPG characters ever: an Scarecrow called Crowley. Thank you guys so much for it ♡♡
Always a song for the current mood
Glad the music helps 🧡
@@CitizenSoldier tysm🥺
Just found this band today and this song is a 10 out of 10.
This is weirdly and stupidly so accurate to what I think a lot of us have felt for so long, or at least felt once.
"I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else" I have cptsd and a part of that for me is the "im fine" lie. I smile and I fake who I am so much. It's so difcult for me to turn off even alone. That line hit becuase that's what you convince yourself of.
"You can't kill me if I'm already dead"
🧡
When I started learning the lyrics to sing along with the song, it started choking me up cuz it's another song that I relate to heavily 🥲🧡
"Disappearing hurts less than asking for help" "can't kill me if I'm already dead"
👏👏 Well said 👏👏
This song perfectly reflects my current attitude to the world and life.
The emphasis on the line "You can't kill me if I'm already dead" is a very powerful and relatable message to me. It basically sums up the way my mind works: I always feel like I'm in a constant race to treat myself more poorly than anyone else on this earth can, that way it doesn't hurt so much when people actually do. I'll break my heart before someone else can; any insult someone says means nothing because I've already said far worse to my reflection; and there is no monster in this world that can scare me now because nothing can outmatch the ones in my head, especially after I feed them. It's detrimental of course, because I've gotten so used to the negativity in my head that joy and freedom are feelings I almost am afraid to feel. I just wish being vulnerable would amount to something, but it doesn't for. All I get when I'm vulnerable is the notion that no one cares. I might as well disappear, because everyone's to busy the hopeless these days. Nevertheless, I'm just glad I'm not the only one according to this song.
First finally ❤🥲I love this🥺
Thank you guys for everything
Thanks Haylee 🧡
@@CitizenSoldier no problem♥️
"I hid my heart" forever in a cage
I'm so happy to see this, me and my friend were waiting for it and it's finally here!:)
You can't kill me if I'm already dead❤️🔥🥂
This song is really masterpiece
Happy to hear that Freya 🧡
"I KILLED MYSELF BUT NO ONE KNOWS" how do the people "we" love not realize that "we" are gone until we 'dont come back'.
I feel this song so much it has been this way my whole life
Help why does "who I am only put me through hell" and "rejection has me terrified" resonate with me so much 😭😭
No suprise, another absolute banger from citizen soldier.
Why do I feel so called out by this... I literally can't be mad, though, cause this is a freaking banger.
“Disappearing hurts less than asking for help”-this line hits different for me
I never thought I needed this song. But now it's here and I can't explain the feeling of understanding when I listen to this with words. Especially since I very recently found out that I might have DID. This is what it feels like when I "switch personalities".
I love how all these songs about mental illness and depression. So many people can relate to your songs. I always look forward to what you guys will sing about next. Keep up the great work!
the rhyme with "you're talking to a scarecrow" is an amazing fragment
I'm loving this song. It hits me in the core of my heart. Your music has been my therapy. 💜
🧡
Oh my god, this is perfectly describes my feelings 24/7. This is SOOOOOO RELATABLE. Thanks, Citizen Soldier! I feel safer when I listen to your music. This means the world to me.
Btw, I'm making russian translates of your songs so everyone could enjoy even if they don't understand English💗💗💗
Appreciate you 🧡
"I'm bulletproof, when I'm somebody else" pretty good descripes how I often feel until I was a teenager. Thank you for the chills you as always gave me ♥
Guys, amazing song for starters. I think you guys just might be able to put my feelings into words sometimes... I'm stuck in life right now and I'm locked in a rage against the world. My whole life has been doing what I'm expected to do while whenever I get upset or want something for myself everyone seems deaf to it. I always end up wanting to scream directly in their face because I flat out tell them how I feel and they look at me blank like they genuinely don't comprehend my words. Like I'm just expected to stay in pain inside because that's my lot in life, I guess... I've listened to everything you have on YT. A few songs hit close, but never exactly right. Either way, keep being there for people
fml, "dissappearing hurts less than asking for help" i literally scream being alone in my room, god that hit so fucking hard
You're 🙀 AMAZING. I COULD NEVER IMAGINE EXPLANING FEELING THROUGH A SCARECROW 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛😍😍😍😍😍
Another masterpiece I can't get enough of ur music
I instantly thought of Monster made of memories when i heard this, the Melody is so similar and i love each and every one of your songs!
I relate to this way too much. Right now I'm just going through the motions waiting for a better life.
You are the best group out there that sing about mental health
Appreciate that Brandon 🧡
This is song is amazing. You guys have no idea how much your music has helped me throughout my dark times. There have been so many times when I've about had enough and I was ready to give up, and your music would start playing. Ironically, it was always "This is Your Sign". Thank you so much.
This is incredible, every song you guys put out just helps remind me how I’m not alone in what I feel, because the feelings you guys put into your songs is how I feel every day
You're not alone 🧡
Out of all your songs i can relate to this the most
Disappearing hurts less than asking for help.... that line hit hard... thank you for putting it in words. I love your lyrics and music so much 🖤❤️
I waited a long time for this song and so glad I did the solo was fire!!! Thx citizen soldier for the amazing music
This is great advice. Be someone that cant be hurt, nobody can hurt you if you dont let them know who you are
As someone who dug themselves out of a metaphoric grave; that stench doesn't leave you.
Just got out of inpatient. Thank you, I showed you guys to my therapist during music therapy, they loved it!
This song was def worth the long wait
