Y’all have always been amazing to me and have always made songs that genuinely make me feel heard, but lately I’ve been thinking about things y’all could do and I think I’ve got one that would be massive. What about a song about PTSD? Not your typical PTSD in soldiers or veterans, but what about one for the children. Those who’ve developed complex PTSD due to abuse or other painful experiences in their youth, ones that are so often told are fake, that they don’t have PTSD and it’s all in their head. It would be such a powerful thing to write a song for, to explain the silent horror in some children who can’t be heard.

I am currently been going thru a depression bout for several months now. I don't really eat and the fact that I have lost over 30 lbs is driving me to not eat so that I can attempt to look good at my age. I am 43 so this shit never ends unfortunately. I listen to a lot of Citizen Soldier's songs cuz they help me thru the darkest parts.

Are you sure you don’t have cameras and audio in my room? That hit hard. Another masterpiece but it hit hard

I'm in tears. I've struggled with an ED for years, and have only been in recovery for a little while now, but this song and these lyrics are something that will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I know this song will save the lives of so many others struggling with an ED. Thank you Jake and the rest of Citizen Soldier for creating and sharing such an impactful song💜

This song hits in the feels... Every song does and knowing other people feel this is so sad. No one deserves to feel the negative way they feel right now. They deserve better, and whoever you are out there, no matter how bad it gets, it'll get better, i promise!

How do I feel safe in my own skin When I've always been the ugly friend? this line hit me so hard when you told ur ugly by people most of ur life

You guys never make a bad song. Thank you for making me realize I’m never alone.

This song couldn’t have came at a better time! I’m starting to lose weight and have better self esteem. After hearing this song, it will definitely be in my playlist now! Love you guys!❤

"The perfect body wont be enough on the day its pushing daisies up the only thing theyll be thinking of is what you did and how you loved" 2:17 that is so so powerful, I just love how you say so much in every single song, keep on being awesome and spreading beautiful music ❤

I always love songs that I don’t relate to directly because they help give me an understanding for other peoples’ struggles.

I've struggled with an eating disorder for a decade, this song is everything that goes through my head on a daily basis. Thank you for an incredible song

another incredible sound from you to brighten my afternoon. Thank you Citizen Soldier, I love you!! ❤😍

„I eat to cope, feel the guilt, stuck in a cycle“ This hits pretty hard for me struggling with eating disorder for many years. Still great song, so truthful, I love it

I knew that this song would slap when I heard the first teaser of it months ago. And you topped this! Wow was this awesome and so well-written that's hitting deep into the heart.❤ You make us not feeling alone in this world and push us to be more encouraged, like with this song. We should be proud of our bodies and ourselves - noone should judge us for being us.🙏

I've been struggling with my eating disorder for a while now and have been waiting for this release since I watched the short. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you for all your songs. Definitely putting this on repeat❤

Thank you so much for this amazing song, I've been waiting for this one since the teaser dropped. Your music is helping so many people. Keep up the good work, Citizen Soldier 💙

Goose bumps throughout the whole song!! Had to hold in tears sitting next to my parents. Such a good song, it really conveys the way I feel. Thank you for everything. You have helped and are still helping me through rough times. Keep rocking!!

This song sends such a message. Don’t care about what people think of your appearance. Be you and treat people the way you want them to treat you. In the end people will only judge you for what you did and how you treated people. Keep on rocking guys! Can’t wait for the rest of the album

Oh my god.. every song gets more and more relatable, can’t wait to hear more soon Jake and the rest of CS.. this song specifically the first few lines are relatable for most teenagers, and adults these days.. like personally, I caused “tattoos” because of comparison and not being enough.. I feel like you could transition to metal full screaming, or rap if you guys wanted to. Thanks so much Jake❤❤❤

This one hit home. I still feel guilty from eating more then I feel like I should have. Yet it's ironic because I'm constantly letting others know that they perfect as they are. Pretty stupid of me huh? Adding on the line about having not looked into the mirror is so heartbreaking. I thought about it and I can't remember the last time I looked in the mirror. Thank you for another amazing song that touches the heart and helps the lost 💙

"What you call a meal, I call an existential crisis" My whole rejecting food deal just put in a line... hope more people can found understanding people who knows how horrible this is and can be kind and go slow with all of you, wish y'all the best 🥺

A Citizen Soldier song is there for any mood of feeling I may be in. Great stuff!

This just became one of my favorite songs by Citizen Soldier!! I remember that people who wish they looked like their role models online sometimes develop eating disorders and body dysmorphia or just feel sad because they wanted the same body type as other people. Not to mention that TV shows targeted at children and teenagers also tend to promote body-shaming and extremely thin people. But at the end of the day, it's okay to not look like someone in the media, whatever that media may be. You should just love yourself the way you are made. And you shouldn't have to change it.

Oh my god as someone who struggles with bpd, bipolar 2, and have also an eating disorder, this is exactly what I am living this time and I start crying at the first lines.... You are incredible, for pulling painful but strong and deep emotions

I just found this band and boy, every song is so deep... sad how spot on they get the lyrics and emotions for today's world.

This song hits SO hard and makes you feel all sorts of emotions. Everyone is different but that is what makes you unique.

This is the most relatable song on the album so I keep on looking forward to the new songs because I hope they'll make me cry and thats always what I need but I couldn't cry even if I wanted to. Thank you so much CS you always shout all the words we're too afraid to whisper 😖🤘🔥🧡

As someone who has struggled with his weight since fourth grade... oh my god. wow. I went into this song with no expectations and I finished it with tears rolling down my face. Citizen Soldier, your songs never cease to amaze me.

Beautiful as always, the bridge, "How do I feel safe in my own skin when I've always been the ugly friend" hits hard

i struggle with self doubt almost every single day, the message in this song touches me in a way that is tough to describe but wholly appreciated nonetheless. Thank you guys

Could you please make a song about emotional abandonment or fear of abandonment? Love your work, always makes me feel safer to know I’m not alone

Every one of us will look the same, when they lower us into our grave. That line is so deep and something I wished I had learned earlier.

Out of all of your songs, this.. this one hits the absolute hardest. Thank you for creating the perfect masterpiece out of any decade! ❤

Once again you release another song right when i needed it most. I compare myself to others on a daily basis always telling myself I'm too ugly i need to change, so thank you for this song. Citizen Soldier you seem to have the amazing talent of releasing songs when people needed them the most and needed to hear them so keep it up your absolutely amazing ❤

Thank you for putting my thoughts into music. I've battled eating disorders for years. I'm eating now, but only because I become so sick when I don't. Thank you for this song.

Lowkey one of my favorite from ICU album, amazing job as always. This song is just what I've been needing🔥

Hey Guys was waiting for this one . Just wanted to thank you for all the bangers and each song’s meaning means so much to everyone. Stay safe and keep on making one of the best music in a long 💪💪💪💪 All the best guys and thanks 🔥🔥🔥

Your songs help me so much. I listen to them daily

It's so good to finally hear this one whole after months of being teased by it. You did a great job guys📱💜

Как всегда прекрасно, как всегда осмысленно, но только надеюсь, что люди, слушающие это, имеющие лишний вес, понимают, что эта песня не предназначена для тех, кто ничем не страдает, а просто не хочет худеть, а именно для тех, кто подвергается осуждению за свой вес, но из-за разных обстоятельств не может похудеть, спасибо за песню

Social media has brought us together but in many ways driven us farther apart than ever before. Don’t compare yourself to people online. Be yourself. You are enough. There is only one you. Only you can write your story. No one else can do that.

Everytime we get a New Song by Citizen its a blessing to the Soul.

To think I only discovered you guys a few weeks ago when Spotify put Thank You For Hating Me in my playlist and you’ve already become one of my favorite bands. This song is dope af

This song honestly would've been so good for 9 year old me, it would've saved me so much, honestly this is what has gave me the courage to stop binging and purging, honestly this band has gotten me through SO much, if it wasn't for them and their songs, the night my parents made me homeless I would've probably just ended it then ❤ now I've got my own flat, cuz off my parents, in college, doing semi well and for only being 17 ❤❤ xx

Thank you so much. Yet again you created a song that I can relate to. On top of having cancer my weight always fluctuated. I have stretch marks and scars. From chemotherapy and the constant weight gain the weight loss during cancer treatment. When people look at my scars they think I'm an addict. On the very same website that are mentioned on this song. Thank you Jake and thank you Citizen Soldier for the beautiful music you guys create. You guys have made it possible for me not to only strengthen my belief structure. But to be myself. To the point I rep the band in a video game with custom emblems.

You guys, always find a way to make me spill tears. But not in a bad way, it is just so heartwarming to hear songs like that, I feel understood.

This is the one I was waiting for the most, did not disappoint and was worth the wait! Thanks for making music about all these topics, they reach and help so many people!

That's why I love this band, each song has a strong message inside.

hits me in the feelings everytime I hear a Citizen Soldier song, helps me remember the struggles I go threw aren’t my own, and I still have hope to move on stronger than ever❤

As someone who has been hated for her whole life and pretends to be someone I’m not just to be loved, I really appreciate for you making this. I really do. So, please, keep making amazing music. Your amazing.❤❤

I literally cried my eyes out yesterday because of this... Feeling left out and not enough, always comparing myself to the others, whether it's in my daily life or during my Karate classes which is the only thing keeping me sane but yesterday it weighed heavily on me. And you guys dropped this right on time, as always. If it's God's sign or not I can't thank you enough for being a safeline even if we're strangers. Hope the best for you all ❤.

I needed to hear this. This described how I have felt the past several years. So self conscious about the way I look and looking at everyone with the perfect body and flat stomach. I needed this. I can't express how much I appreciate and feel this song. "Every one of us will look the same when they lower us into the graves" "The perfect body won't be enough, on the day it's pushing daisies up, the only thing they'll be thinking is what you did and how you loved" This song just hits so hard and good.

Another masterpiece, you guys understand your audience so well and the real struggles of the everyday person. Truly amazing job

I struggle so much w my appearance. Both my body and identity is a daily struggle The beginning of this song really hit the mark. The wonder to skip or purge. How hoodies feel safe. And how pictures can cause mental spirals This band is srsly a saving grace of mine. I listen all the time. I even got a tattoo of the band logo coz I have never come across a band that truly captures the struggle of mental illness like citizen soldier songs

This is far too relatable, thank you, and I hope your doing okay Citizen Soldier, never hesitate to talk to me when the thoughts become too much

What i love about you guys is that you manage to talk/sing about almost everything, always speaking to a specific audience with each song. You don't just stick to one topic "because it works" but rather make sure, everyone feels welcome here. Well done ^^

This is just too real, damn I don't think anyone could pull off lyrics like this the way Jake does.

agree

Though this song is about eating disorders, this hits me in regard to generally everything, for me in writing. Comparison leads to feeling inadequate, or worse. It's hard to feel good about yourself whenever comparison to others comes up. In whatever you do, or whatever you are, these lines are very true: "The only thing that they'll be thinking of Is what you did and how you loved"

I believe they deserve an award for being the best therapist I've ever had. I was going to type a really long paragraph, but I think I would've sounded sooo cliche hahaha..

Im listening to it Right Now....but I LOVE IT already

"When ive always been the ugly friend" idk why but this hits me hard

This lyrics can only come from s good heart, Jake is a very nice guy, i have shared stage with them in salt Lake where our bands and we're from, watching them grow is awesome!.

Maaaan You guys are so good at this!! Hope your songs never stop reaching people in need of some love and understanding

Comparison can make you feel like you always need to change to fit in with others so that you aren't the odd one out. Don't do that, be yourself, be different, never compare yourself to anyone because the more your do the more you will feel like you need to change. The message to take away from this is that just be yourself don't let anyone else tell you what you can and can't do. (If only I let this happen)

What makes that Song so beautiful is that it’s so real, like All the self hate and the comparison is such a big problem nowadays but nobody does something about it.

Awesome, another song!! I cant tell you guys how much you saved my depression from taking over my whole life! You guys are my freaking saviors! You guys make music that speaks to my soul!

What a beautiful song ! Thank you Citizen Soldier 🖤

É de arrepiar ❤❤

I've been waiting so long for this song I feel this very much and still go through it so thank you for this song🖤

This is just a new level of truth and intensity Huge well done, needed to hear this today ❤❤

Thank you Citizen Soldier. You make us feel Seen.

This song explains the negative effects of social media so well. Yet another banger

OMG ANOTHER SONG!!!!!!! that relates to me sooo much! I love you guys so much and am so thankful for all that you do! Keep posting amazing songs!

Dam this hits hard def the part where you say THIS HOODIEI'S TOO BIG BUT MAKES ME FEEL SAFE. // Not even a minute in I started to cry. I love the songs They have helped me through so much Pain and sleepless night's.

I have 2 things to say: 1.(For Citizen Soldier) MY GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU RELEASED IT, I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR A LONG TIME! 2. In this world are lots of stupid stuff that we don’t need to follow and belive, we need to go on our own and follow ourselves, and not others’ way, be you! You don’t need to be cool like somebody it is! You need to be you!

"Every one of us will look the same, when they lower us into our graves, so I need somebody to explain, why we worship someone else's face. The perfect body won't be enough, on the day it's pushing daisies up, the only thing that they'll be thinking of, is what you did, and how you loved." I am in absolute love with these lines, this one really hit the thoughts I have at night right in the bullseye🫂

I have waited MONTHS for this song to come out and its just as amazing as I thought it would be

I am Asha, recovering from eating disorders. This song has helped me to gain a sense of perspective of what I'm going through. Thank you❤

I never compare with others because standing to myself is stronger than any group existing.

This entire song gave me chills with its lyrics. Jake your words are like a poem that hits hard with it truths made stronger with its music. Thanks for another great song. ❤

your songs will always hit close to home😢😢😢 "i purge myself to look like them" breaks my heart sm cuz i relate to it...idk when this started but i've always hated how i look in the mirror...and how i always let other people's body shaming get to my head

I needed this song when I was younger. The amount of misery I had inside myself when I would compare myself to others is indescribable. When I realized that I was the only one hurting by these comparisons, I began working on letting it go. Accepting myself as enough. As more than enough. It took years but I don't care how I look anymore. Or what others think of me. I'm a beautiful young woman. If this is something you struggle with and you are reading this, I beg you to believe me. You don't need to be like anyone else. You are beautiful just as you are. With messy hair and no makeup wearing your most comfortable pajamas.

This is a topic I've only seen sung about one single time. It needs this kind of highlight. Thank you for performing this song!

Sending this to my dad after we had a very serious discussion about my eating habbits. Still carrying the messed up lessons about food my grandmother taught me 20 years later. He says "eat to live, don't live to eat". Dude, that doesn't help much.

As someone who compares themselves to others, physical wise, and grade wise. This is to true 😭
