Lyrics
I swear to God, at night when I close my eyes
I can still see this little lost girl inside
And I don’t know how to help her, I don’t know what to do
Supposed to have this figured out but I’m so confused
For years I cried myself to sleep every night
Lived one day at time, trying to just stay alive
And I knew people had it worse, but that didn’t make me better
Took all I had inside just to hold myself together
But I knew I couldn’t stop, kept hoping one day
Maybe I’d make it to a stage and tell you it’s all ok
And that I love you, even if I haven’t met you yet
Hold on, stay strong, and never forget
We’ve been lost, been to the bottom
Beaten up, torn and forgotten
Still we fight, we will survive
Can’t kill the fire we feel inside
We’ve been burned, drained and depleted
Left alone, we’re not defeated
Still we fight, we will survive
Can’t kill the fire we feel inside
You can’t, you can’t kill us
You can’t, you can’t kill us
Every day I felt a little less pain inside
But at that rate I knew I'd hurt until the day I died
I refused to let the darkness have the last say
So when it came to call my name I had to run the other way
Maybe that’s what it takes, you have to tell the pain no
Have to let the sick parts of your heart finally go
Make room for the light, let it pull you in close
And if you’re ever feeling low, I think you know where to go
One day we’re gonna wake up, we’re gonna be alright
We’ll look back and be happy that we kept ourselves alive
We’ll honor where we came from, see what the hurt was for
But we don’t let our past hold us hostage anymore
'Cause we’ve got more to give, more to live, more to be,
More to who we are than our broken history
Like an army, we all know it’s not all better yet
But we hold on, stay strong, and never forget
You can’t, you can’t kill us
You can’t, you can’t kill us - Hudba
"I know people had it worse but that didn't make me better"
That's literally for all of our parents
Chloe Elise Boshears-hazen I agree.
So true.
Chloe Elise Boshears-hazen That couldn't be more true
I'm sorry.. ;(
Chloe Elise Boshears-hazen so true...
I was diagnosed with depression and the first words out of my dad's mouth were "Why are you so selfish and conceded? What you're doing is bullshit." and I love Icon for Hire for helping me so much with feeling better and understanding without saying they knew you, 'cause no one KNOWS you. Love you guys!
Scar spirit dads don't give a damn . I started avoiding mine at the frail age of 12 . And now I try not to talk to any family members .
Scar spirit wow that is a horrible thing to say with someone with depression idk if you're still going through it but if you are STAY STRONG!
Ignore the coments from who can't understand..
That was ... Harsh, and really stupid of his. It must be hard to deal with
"And I knew people had it worse but it didn't make me better"
You know, that's why I hate when someone says that.
People say how they feel and their problems to someone they trust (made after a long time concealing and ignoring it) and then that person tell them that "other people have it worse"
Like, telling someone who's sad that what they went through is nothing compared to the horrible things this world yet has give won't make them feel better at all. Instead, it will make them feel that because other people have worse problems, their owns doesn't matter. They end up feeling bad FOR FEELING BAD. And no one should feel guilty for being sad
I told someone about my depression and someone told me that. So i told them "So how does that help me? That's them. I. Ain't. Them."
When I hear that phrase I feel like a spoiled little brat because what I suffer is nothing compared to other people's problems.
@@AlexB-lr2qp aye that may be the case that what you are going through pales in comparison to maybe joe who lives in Afghanistan. Or Phil in Europe. (Just picking names outta my ass) but thing is. They are them and you are you.
@@LordSauron22 it doesn't mean that my problems are a good reason to cry.
@@theyofmanynames Kinda. For some people the thought "well it could be worse" is pretty comforting, even when someone is facing physical pain.
OMG!!!!! THAT PICTURE!!!!
She looks awesome in that dress
I am *loving* the new hairstyle.
Waidmanns Heil
Please dont. Listen more to the music, less to the looks. she even made a song about people only thinking of the looks not the music.
Miss Short
I believe I can very much appreciate both
that dress is goals.
icon for hire i love you guys i said in another post there are rumors that they are married and I have a picture that shows that they may or may not be married but seriously i have no clue it just shows them like holding each other and Ariel is in a weddingish dress
+HoodedGargoyle Wow where did you find that?
I love ur vids!
Teodora Stojšić my friend sent it to me
HoodedGargoyle I dont want to theorize or anything but maybe it was her homecoming dress? Its on her website and looks like a wedding dress but I think she made it herself.
Anyways, this picture was purposely put for this song representing how strong they are. :)
They once again continue to make their music connect to their roots, and Rock out in the process.
Please, don't stop. Your influence is stronger than you'll ever even know
I agree
I'm in love with the raw emotion in this. In every song Ariel writes, she pours her heart and soul into it, and this is no exception. In every verse, you can hear her sing with such raw passion for the words she's saying. She sounds so legitimately scared in the first verse, yet it flows into the hopeful and determined words of the chorus. Or, in the last verse, you can hear her screaming the words in the background, sounding so desperate and passionate. That's what separates her from other singers: they sing screamo because that's what their genre is, or what their audience wants. They don't take risks with their style and don't tackle the same topics that IFH does. Icon, on the other hand, sings screamo because the human voice cannot contain the emotion that is being conveyed. They use whatever genre the song needs, and sing their heart out about things that matter to them.
I love you, Icon!
I love this band because you can tell she feels the words. You can hear her pain every time she says the word. It’s incredible
im not crying youre crying
that pic thooooo her hair is stunning
"Maybe that's what it takes, you have to tell the pain NO."
That part always makes me so excited. I have the need to hit something in zeal and raise my voice.
Imma be honest. This song makes me cry. Because i still live one day at a time. Cause all im trying to do is live. Ive lost 7 people who meant the world to me too suicide. But all my mum says is some people have it worse. And its a fight to wake up in the morning because i feel dissapointed that i woke up.
LordSauron 22 my aunt says punks commit suicide
@@sethminterplays9533 and people wonder why pessimists and cynics exist... This is why. The world's a terrible place, but a good one at the same time. I'll never understand society, won't I? @sauron sorry about ur life man, hope ur ok.
I hate when people say that. So since there is someone out there more messed up I should automatically feel better about myself. When in actuality it doesn't make you any better. I get mad at myself for not having the courage to end it all when even I know that's messed up. Keep fighting!
I really hope things have gotten better and you're still fighting
I just went to see Icon with the only friend I have remaining. The night before I lost another friend to murder. I have lost everyone to drugs, to su*cide, to murder.. my Mom was the one I could count on to remain solid and she died in the pandemic. I wake up in tears every day, I am crying now, but I saw Ariel step out of that bus, look me in the eyes with eyes much like my own and smile, and I remembered why I never had to worry about losing myself. 👊
Icon for Hire is seriously like a therapist without talking times
I don't think a sound has made me cry as fast as this one did. I love you two so much and I love our army family. This song hit a note in me that hurt but I've never been so happy. I don't think I could ever express how grateful I am to y'all.
This song is the story of my life
am I the only one who died bc they're holding hands in this image? yes? ok
Bruna Santana Saaaaammmmeeeeee
Bruna Santana is now a bad time to say I've shipped it ever since I discovered the band?
I got over excited. 🎶Can you feel the love tonight!🎶
They're married lol
They are married x)
I cried at the first "You can't kill us"
0 dislikes, because you can't deny how good this is!
David sadly there are 3 dislikes :(
Glowing dark
Aw....
At least there were 0 when I posted this.
5
At the time I'm posting this, 0.06% viewers of this video disliked it, so statistically we can consider it zero. Or from the all people who reacted somehow, 99.6% left a like and 0.4% a dislike, so rounded still zero.
7 dislikes in this moment. ¿Why the people is bad? :'(
This is car driving music, headphone music, every thing every where music.. DAWG, this is incredible!!!!
one of the best songs in my opinion
I'm so proud of you guys ♡
i jumped with so much joy when i saw this
Issy's Life same
This is a song I try to remember when I feel like I can't go on much longer. Let's just say, my parents don't accept me or respect me. I try to remember that one day, I could get out of this mess, for all I know it could be next week in which I become free!
Alex B same
Too bad this band is sooooooo.... underrated 😔
IKR?
True.
Nothin left to say its so true
too much
Please don't stop making music, I have found your music and it's honestly relatable in all ways I can't speak. Don't stop a bit, you are all amazing and great at everything. Nothing I would change about your channel.
There seriously aren't words for how hard this strikes home. Thank you again and again for finding the words. You are a gift to this world.
I hate it how you guys are so underrated :(
I'm sure that if the whole world knew you guys, your impact would change people's lives...please continue...the world needs you guys and your impact more than you think...love you guys 👏❤️
With every song, I fall in love with this band all over again
This new album is the only music I have in my phone and I still love it.
Teacher: what is the definition of hope?
Me: "You Can't Kill Us" by Icon For Hire!
Teacher: you trying to be funny?
Me: no, I am dead serious!
You're not wrong.
Ooooh, i love this song with all my soul ♥
I always loved how Ariel admits the pain but makes a point that you can either keep drowning deeper in it or muster up one more word to fight it. It may only be one, but if it's "NO!" that can make the difference some times. To at least not make it some cute thing but to recognize that you're trying to win over a disease and you're not going to lose
OMG 😍😍😍 My favorite 😉😉😍
THEY LOOK SO BADASS
This song is my soundtrack the last few weeks! I love you Icon. Thank you for everything.
This song got me through a tough year. Thank you
today is my 19th birthday and I love this song and I got so excited when I saw this! ♡♡♡
MKaye happy birthday! :)
thats really cool! happy b day! mine was the 6th! :) same age too!
If I can be honest, I cried. Good job Icon for Hire, keep up the awesome work!
The emotion in her voice at 2:35 gives me goosebumps
this songs encourages me to keep fighting my depression
Brilliant song and brilliant lyrics... what a great band.
If I had to pick a fave from the album, this would be it. And it was even more amazing to see performed live. Can't wait to see you guys again.
Richie Herlinger the best part about this being preformed live was that most people didn't know the lyrics so we couldn't see along
This one is my favorite song.. very relatable.

Me
It's like you pulled this straight from my journal.
I'm so glad I found you guys a few months ago, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands.
Same story, they are amazing! :)
Forget quickly for me. They became my favorite the second I heard them.
I love this song so much it actually made me cry
It's 2023 and this song still hits harder than my dad's belt. Love 'ya ❤
Best song in the album
Ariel's voice is so full of emotion, i have felt strongly about songs that are about things ive never even been through. Add to that the thrill of the instruments themselves and you've made a loyal fighter out of me.
💜 I hope Icon for Hire can continue to make inspiring music, keep up the amazing work, Icon!
“We got more to live, more to be, more to who we are than our broken history.” I need that so often. And it is very true.
Why do all your songs relate to me so much. Its so scary how accurate it is!
This day just got so much better!! Thanks guys :)
As I listened to this I cried so much. I love them so much and almost squeal every time they release a new song. Love you guys so much, Icon Army here!❤❤❤
It's imposible for me not to get goosebumps when I listen to their music.
Teodora Stojšić love this band and i got goosbumps listening to this and who am i supposed to be, but my ultimate goosebumps is From Ashes to new.
relentlesshate I know about them! You should maybe listen to Ashes Remain Without you - goosbumps or even tears guranteed :D ♥
Well, that's a wrap, and a darn good one. I can't believe the album is out, and I can't wait to get it for myself.
One of the best !!
you can't kill us !!
It is when you are in this state of mind. When darkness surrounds you. When the lyrics just go deep and I thank you sooooo much. That there is an artist in this world, where music is there tool.To let us just see the light again. You really saved me and thank you sooooo much. I will see what the pain was worth.
I'm so proud of this band there AMAZING!!
Oh my this is so beautiful song, I love it!
You know, i've listened to this song many, many times. I've always felt this song as a powerful and empowering song. But i think i've always linked this song to strength through pain. Tonight was the first time i finally understood this as a positive song. I think this song for me finally represents strength OVER pain. Thank you Icon.
This is what I need now. This song. Thank You
Icon For Hire has helped me so much! I was at such a low place a couple years ago and I first heard them, I clung to Get Well and Iodine. I always thought of them as my anthem. It's okay to feel different or depressed, it doesn't mean you're any less of a person. It made it so much better how accurately they described everything like how they compare depression to a fur coat made of dead things, it helps keep me warm-its familiar. So when I heard this it reminded me of how far I've come. They had me at "hold on, stay strong, and never forget." My eyes are sweating xD.
"You can't, you can't kill us!"
I know you guys probably hear this every day by a million people. But I just ended a pretty hard period of my life. And I don't know if I can be precise. But I went into a depression over two years ago. I lost the woman I loved for apparently no reason. I tried to help people who were down even deeper than I was and almost got murdered for it. I felt like I couldn't fall any deeper. But then I found you guys. And your music is the reason I was able to go on being the way I was. I cut ties with the people who hurt me. Tried to fix broken ties as well, even though it didn't work out, I feel a lot better. And your music was what kept me going through it all. Thank you. Please never stop doing what you're doing. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much.
Icon for Hire brings mental illness to the forefront and it's deep, passionate, painful and brilliant!!! Thank you for giving those of us that suffer through a voice.
"You have to tell the pain, no" That's the most powerful lyric I've ever heard. It's so very true and equally as difficult to do
this whole album was just so so so amazing!! it's so wonderful to look at how far this band has come
I don't think you understand how happy I am I came back across this wonderful band
I listen to your music when I am feeling down, it really helps me so thank you so much for creating these songs and for caring about your fans.
This song has helped me so many times. Thank you so much. I've been brought to tears by how much it touches me personally. This is what I blast when I'm at my lowest.
Beautiful
You guys helped me not end my own life! Thank you! I love you Icon for Hire!!!♡
I love how you two use music to address modern issues not a lot of us think about. We've all kind of just accepted these problems and swept them under the rug. I love that you kick the rug away and tell us it isn't okay to ignore them. I find you very inspiring and I hope you continue to make music for a long time.
Have had this whole album playing constantly the last few weeks. Definitely one of my favorite IFH songs. Amazing job with YCKU!
My bestfriend introduced me to your music and it’s changed me for the better. You have some of the best lyrics ever in the history of all artists in this world.
That's exactly my feelings right now. Almost cried whilst listening to it the first time, now I hit the replay button over and over again...
I love the fact that Icon for Hire's songs make me feel like I can take on the world. Keep making amazing music!!
The 4 people who disliked this have no taste also ICON FOR HIRE IS THE BEST!!!!
This band deserves so much more than what they're credited for, especially after what they've been through.
I love this new album!
Can't wait til I get the money to buy the album 😍 I love these types of songs, Icon seems to have them down so well too. Get Well, Happy Hurts, Now You Know, all about personal topics that so many people can relate to, I love it. From the songs I've listened to on here, all of them seem to be like that, personal, hard hitting, and all around amazing!
you guys are slaying in that picture 👏😍👌
this song is just amazing💛, I love how I could relate I'm someway in each and every song! plus rn there is 361 likes and 0 dislikes!!!!! you guys are amazing and real💓, which is why you're my favorite band😉
keep up with the amazing work!✨
"And that I love you, even if I haven't met you yet."
Best lyrics.
AMAZING!!!!! ❤❤❤
Icon for hire is one of the best!!
Omg this song is sooo AMAZING!! I just !love it
