Ariel's style of singing is so unique and amazing.
I conquer
agreed she is amazing
I totally agree!And she knows how to use her voice,there are not many people who are able to do this
+
She's amazing always has and always will
How has it been 5 years since this came out?? We’re hitting up 39 North American cities and doing VIP meet and greet in every single one! Grab your tickets NOW and let’s let the world we don’t need a record label when we have fans like you! 🥰🤘 xoxo Ariel
I don’t mean to be rude but do you d.I.d
Time is running out so fast ❤
Queeeeen ❤❤❤
Much love ❤❤
I still love it! It’s the end of February 2024 and I can’t wait to see you again in Colorado! I’m pretty nervous to meet Ariel and Shawn and Flicka 😁❤️
"When you take the sick away, tell me who I'm supposed to be."
Doesn't get much realer for those of us who've had depression all our lives and don't even know ourselves without it.
It's supposed to help knowing that we're not alone, but somehow it just makes me sadder knowing that other people are living in this hell. Yeah, it means I'm not crazy, but it also means that other people hurt as much as I do, and that's not okay either.
Thank god for artists who manage to touch our hearts and mend our souls, little bits at a time.
You're a pure soul.
This comment is amazing. Thank you, and I know what you mean, it's unfair that so many people go through this and feel so bad.
Honestly, this is a very relatable song for those struggling with Chronic Physical Illnesses. I have both a physical Disease known as POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and Depression/Anxiety and like... this song is a very relatable song for both types of ailments.
So true... though there's also the fact that some have metaphorical masks they wear, day in and day out. they bury themselves deep... often enough too deep. when these masks are taken off, and I mean a complete, total, unmasking of the person that has hidden themselves for so long, when that happens, they feel nothing. there's nothing inside for them to feel they don't know who they are or where they belong. they have become an empty shell of who the should have been... they don't care anymore... it's actually something more than depression, greater, stronger, more potent... and it carries into the realm of sentience at its peak. I'm one of these people, and it makes me both stronger and weaker, or rather I'm given the illusion of strength, while the reality is that I'm truly weaker than I really am. It truly eats at my very being, and I'll never forget what started the masks and this void deep inside. People definitely hurt, some more than others, but some people need direction and more help than others.
Amen
How is this band not insanely viral
How come this band is not insanely viral now? XP
because its bacterial?
Unfortunately probably because they left the label? Independent is a lot tougher
They're insanely honest and open in a world that despises those traits.
I'd almost bet they will be like MCR and blow up a decade after they stop making music
Can we just talk about how perfect Ariel is for a moment?
AProphetInAPoet'sClothing f*$%ing yas👌
yes, yes we can
She has an amazing voice, amazing lyrics, and amazing song concepts - I love her and her music so much!
@@kyleneckar3415 don't forget fashion sense and honesty
Yes
I'm a BPD sufferer and this is flipping amazing, their songs are exactly how it feels and how frustrating it can be to be have a mental sickness!!!
I was just gonna say this... I also have BPD and this hits hard
Same
I have borderline personality disorder, complex post traumatic stress disorder, autism spectrum disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), and major depressive disorder (recurrent). If I were to wake up tomorrow and be healed, I don't think I can even imagine who I'd be. Like, even when I daydream about being somebody else, I don't know how to make that imaginary person well. If the illness was something like missing my legs, It would be easier to imagine a me with legs. Hell they have prosthetics these days, so I wouldn't have to just imagine it. But with mental illnesses like this, I don't even know how to imagine a normal person.
This song is bad ass.
it gives me energy
I like this song too
same kokkil
Dude, you're literally everywhere
this band is extremely underrated
+faissialoo yeah I know I must have accidently hit n twice but I meant Band
Explain the -e- c:
+DrKARMA Probably autocorrect.
Yeah they are!!
I feel like if they had to choose they would have it no other way. Underrated means you never sold out with how the way the world works. When you're underrated you're doing it for the right reasons.
This song. I honestly have no words to describe what this video and song mean too me. Especially because i have been so bad mentally and emotional lately. This video describes everything i feel and experience.
The beginning was the first 15 years of my life.
+
Agreed
👍 Same
Well i hope you get better :) music can always help, things will improve :)
Fucking hell, how have a not found this band sooner? The sheer power in this song is almost too much for me to handle. Isn't it funny how sometimes life throws something to us that we've so desperately needed. Such as a song that makes you realize the battle isn't over yet, fear is a natural occurrence, and this can all pass.
I discovered the Grateful Dead 53 years after their inception. Don't feel bad. :P
And indeed, it is strange. I found this video after googling "supposed to" cuz someone wrote "suppose" and I'm like "I know that should have a -d at the end..." Such a weird way of finding new music! I'm so happy I clicked on it!
I just feel the same way and i just discovered this Band this freakin' Month!
I agree
i just discovered them a few days ago.
My bipolar n depression ur music helps alot just more than a song for me
That first who am I supposed to be line. Idk how to describe it but it hit me like a train I've never felt a song like that and related that much to the point of forming tears.
It has gone four years sens I heard Icon For Hire. This song hits hard.
They are even better live!
lyrics
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
Can you fix this, am I too far gone?
I’ve never done this before
Don’t know if I’m ready but I wanna move on
And I’ve never said that before
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
Recovery time, a condition like mine
What are we talking here?
Getting so close, I can taste the hope
But I still feel the fear
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
For years, this is all I’ve known, this has had my heart, this has been my home
And now I’m scared to lose myself, scared of letting go
For years, this is all I’ve known, this has had my heart, this has been my home
And now I’m scared to lose myself, scared of letting go
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Tell me who I’m supposed to be
Tell me who I’m supposed to be
Thank you
U know ur great? If ya don't...ur great man!
Thankyou ♡
Very good! Thanks for alll.......
Is anyone still listening to this band in 2020? i love it ♥
guy under a black blanket is cool.
my babe Ariel embracing the crazy....gives me the chills
"I can't stay halfway dead forever..."
That hit home
CHILLS every single time. For four years. I LOVE Ariel and how she expresses this feeling
She's a MASTER.
To my mind, it is not who or what others wish you to be, it is that which you yourself wish to be.
Exactly ☺
Even as we Get Older,NEVER Give up on Being You! I am Getting up there in years but i have to tell you,The Desire to do What makes me Happy Has NEVER Been Stronger!
For the longest time I did because of one of my parents. But I've finally come to the conclusion it's not me it's them.
And what if you wish to be nothing?
One of the most relatable songs I've listened to.
This song sums up everything i feel everyday .
For my grandmother who has since been passed who took much to the grave. You were brave, you are strong, you gave. E strength to become the strength I needed as an adult long after you. Thank you, you will always be my mom, a parental figure that refused to let death be your definition.
whoa, this is amazing I love it!
Woah dude! I had no idea you listened to Icon For Hire :D
What??! Hair Jordan's a fan of IFH??!! Sick!
woah! jordans a fan of icon for hire? you're literally everywhere lol
OMG... Hair Jordan, you listen to IFH?
Welp, guess that bumps you up in my list of favorite youtubers.
Oh hi hello there hey hi mr. hair jordan I didn't realize you also listen to icon for hire
I can't stay half way dead forever
im happy that she made new songs
When I hear this Song I really think it would be a great Song for that Netflix Animated Series Arcane. Fits Jinx Perfectly..
"I want to get better, in somes ways, don't stay in all this hell of eating disorders and personnality disorders and psychosis symptoms, but at the same time, I'm so scared because as long as I can think about it, I live with every single fucking diseases and I don't know, I don't know what I am whitout."
~ something I told one day to a close friend. I related to this song so much.
I am French and I listen to this beautiful music.
This band has at least 20+ great songs but this one is my favorite..
I showed my mom this song after I listened to it. It hit us both so hard, we both battled depression for the longest time (it's still a battle). But music is our outlet, it is how we release ourselves. Icon if you see this, thank you for the music. We both love you guys and think you are amazing.
In love with everything Icon does ❤️ I hope Shawn was the one rolling around in the blanket tho
That's what I was thinking. Haha
im thinking it might be the dancer in the credits 'Andrea Sobke' (:
It could be, it would give him something to do - cause clearly playing guitar is not on the list with all these software songs. Frankly, Ariel could to this all alone, quite disappointing really.
Sean does the producing
OMG! I love Icon For Hire!!!!!!
This song makes me think of my emdr therapy and how it feels to not know who u r anymore and how difficult it is to go through it and the pain it's so real
As someone who's struggling to come out of a major depression/severe PTSD regression, this song really captures how I've been feeling so much as I try to figure out who I really am without the damaged parts. I hope you guys know how much your music affects people - you've always been one of my favorite bands, not only because your sound is amazing, but also because you somehow encapsulate how bad things can get inside your own head in a lot of your songs. It's really unique, and I hope you never change.
I cannot help but notice that her scars were on her back but her wings came out near her butt. Anyway I cannot stop listening to this song! It is very good.
Eryka Fürst ikr I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that.😂
Eryka Fürst i noticed as well. I was like wait what?
Maybe because the “new” wings weren’t the same as the original ones? Just a wild guess tho don’t mind me
So amazing ICON FOR HIRE WILL NEVER DIE. and this haircolor is the best.
OMG, that music video perfect, so amazing
I always feel like this especially since I'm finally getting help for all my disorders. This is my past self talking to my current self scared of moving on and loosing myself but ready to heal.
Words can't describe how much this band means to me. The lyrics are deep, they talk about things no one else does.This band is amazingly beautiful, I hope and pray that they keep up the great work and never change for anyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 😊
My words that have been screaming in silence in too long. Thank you.
Your songs are a gift for me in my road to recovery. God is faithful
THE GREATEST... MUSIC VIDEO... IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!
This song hits SO CLOSE to home. So close it might as well be knocking on the front door.
head banging to this
I can't stop listening to this
omg im so glad i saw this. "When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?" LITERALLY a week ago i told my friend that i don't know who i am without being sad idk i felt weird for feeling that way.
It's not that the condition is comfortable. It's not.
It's that it's *familiar*. To many folks, they can count on it, just as soon as things start looking up.
"I finally worked out that everyday problem AND I got some unexpected good news!"
"That's great!"
" No, it isn't, because that means now comes the part where self-doubt and guilt punch me in the gut because I'm too much of a loser/failure/trainwreck for Good Things to happen too without consequence."
- water starts failing out of your face as it's tougher to breathe than it was 10 minutes ago...
Then you hold your breath and kill that anyway you can! Don't believe know and feel it, be it, and beat it. Embrace the beauty of being one of the crazies cause the normals are filled with hate.
somebody sees you, look them in their eyes and see them feel you.
I understand exactly what you mean Willum Proud
Got this vibe when I need good old rock taking me heartbeat.
I love that here songs are different from another astist.
Twenty-one Pilots and Icon for Hire are two unique and completely fan driven bands and both write lyrics to help others and not purely to make money. I love them both and have infinite respect for them. I am so happy every time they release a new album. I know it will be my new motivation to get up in the morning.
This song really speaks to me.
I had an addiction.
I stopped 6 months ago.
And I didn't know who I was.
Now I love myself!
This song is exactly how I feel every day
Very Linkin Park vibe. Love IT! R.I.P. Chester Bennington
WHY IS THIS SONG STILL UNDERRATED WTF
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
Can you fix this, am I too far gone?
I’ve never done this before
Don’t know if I’m ready but I wanna move on
And I’ve never said that before
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
Recovery time, a condition like mine
What are we talking here?
Getting so close, I can taste the hope
But I still feel the fear
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
I don’t wanna be stuck, I don’t wanna be crazy
This is the way that my sadness made me
Better come quick, yeah better come save me
Tell me who I’m supposed to be now
Make me better
I can’t stay halfway dead forever
I fear now
There’s not much left of me
When you take the sick away
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
For years, this is all I’ve known, this has had my heart, this has been my home
And now I’m scared to lose myself, scared of letting go
For years, this is all I’ve known, this has had my heart, this has been my home

Tell me who I’m supposed to...
Nicoleta Nikita no prob dude
this used to be me but now I have found myself, and i don't think I could have without this song, band, and this type of music in general. I listen to everything ( except k pop) and I listen to this type of music a lot and it helped me find myself
2016-2020 quarantine mood. That's my new Icon way of live (it will viralize, credits to me)
This voice so amazing
Just found this artist and she's amazing.
This song make me happy. Her voice, the letters, the instrumental...
You keep me going, Ariel...Dealing with myself, my depression, and a lot of things right now, and you guys keep me on my feet..
I know there are lots of people who identify with this song. I'm one of them. I'm not very good at expressing my feeling or thoughts because the words just do not come easily to me. I rely a lot on songs like this because they perfectly describe how I feel and they say exactly what I need to say! I am so glad I found this band. They are awesome!!
I can 100% relate to your comment. I never can find the right words no matter how hard I try.
It's an honor to be in such a great music video, thank you! :D
Yes you can see me at the end 3:46
That's so cool! Great!
Wait you were in this video?! (If so, at the end) which person?!
+Isabel/Hisabel Mirosaki The guy with the black mohawk
***** wow! That's amazing!!
Um so I may or may not have listened to this song around 6 times over the last 3 days. I totally did!
I've been listening to this song for 6 months and I really feel that in my way it's true. xx
It's been 6 years I still listen to this masterpiece
I know that this is more about mental illness, but as someone with long-term, chronic illnesses, this song really resonates so much. I honestly don't know what my life would be like without feeling half-dead 24/7 and this song just hits home.
I believe this can be about illnesses of any kind where it makes living hell to go through.
Icon For Hire creates the best music in the Universe!!
I like it where they put like an 80's beat to this song ❤
This song is literally all of the feelings I'm too scared to admit I have
I remember being 16 and listening to this when it first came out..I can only now REALLY understand it at 20 while getting better myself..its so relatable to me now.
honestly i wouldnt wish this on anyone but she sings everything so perfectly. ive dealt with sever depression along with few other mental disorders majority of my life. i honestly dont wven know who i am if i didnt have any of these illnesses. most days i feel like im going crazy even though i know im not. ive given up hope that ill ever be "normal". im grateful for artists like icon for hire who can literally nail it all in their music. its nice to know im not alone but i feel bad for everyone whose in this same boat. i wouldnt wish this on anyone.
7 years later, i finally realized lost in the echo is the sample in the background xD love it.
So many times i wonder if she is singing about someone she knows. So much emotion and power in her voice
This song is about depression.
My god ari your acting was crazy good
Believe me, it’s not acting it’s real
I've seen her in concert and I tell you what it's awesome! She's the sweetest person. I cried the whole way home! 🤔
My favorite music video and song by them right now
Love This 💘
Still listening in 2020, please keep making such wonderful music.
when i was 15 i suffered a traumatic brain injury, and i have had memory problems and seizures ever since, and i was always too afraid to seek medical help. i always told the doctor i was fine, and nothing was wrong. i sat there and suffered in silence. after i heard this song, it made me open my eyes. there is no reason to be afraid or depressed over it, and i went to the doctors, and spilled my guts to them. im currently working on getting help, and i feel a lot better. thank you for making this song, and so many others. there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is far in the distance.
one of my favorite songs :)
I really like how this band has evolved. They kept their rapid fire lyric segments, and ellaborated on melodies. Release after release, they keep on making hits.
Those lyrics remain because there has always really only been one writer for the most part, and that's Ariel. Specially on everything from the Now You Know EP until now, she has written all lyrics. But now she is finally letting Shawn have some input on the lyrics too lol.
icon for hire is truly the voice of the insane... their music just captures insanity in a level unlike most... damn...
Really wouldn't call it insanity. Just saying.
Pluto edgy af
100 gecs does it
I can't listen to this song without crying. I've never had a song, movie, book, or anything affect me as much as this song does.
wow this is a brilliant music video i love the message
much better than some of the other videos.
Yes.
I don't think they have the money to make super good videos
Desiree Wade this video is super good. thank you.
you are great singer
Athina Sykes True
Athina Sykes ikr shes amazing
I underwent a major surgery and i4h was always my jam. So I'm here with one hand. You truly understand depression. Thank you, Ariel.
This is such an amazing video. Probably their best yet.
that was amazing...
Man, Ariel is one of the best at writing about the transitions of moving from being messed up towards healing. You can tell that she's been through a lot in her life and has fought hard to overcome her problems.
Another awesome icon for hire song!
If you're here after 5 years, you really have good taste
I love this song so much!
Oh look, another Icon For Hire video I'll watch a thousand times :D
I like this song too. You guys are growing on me
This perfectly describes everything? I really needed something like this
