To better elaborate on my viewpoint here, because I didn't do a good enough job explaining it here and everyone's missing the point I made because of it: The repetition isn't the problem, the plainness of said repetition is. If you listen to the two verses side-by-side and listen to the way he says "somebody kill me" at the end of each segment, it is the exact same way each time. Tonality, inflection, intensity, it is all 100% exactly the same, it's like it was just directly copy-and-pasted from the first verse into the second. This is not the Citizen Soldier way of doing things; from all I've seen them do, it's expected that they would try something different in verse 2 to spice things up, give the second verse some sort of different sound. It's little touches like that, that Citizen Soldier had never missed up until now, that really make each song memorable. They could have done ANYTHING-change the way it's said into more of a scream of desperation, change the words up a little, anything to add a little zest to the second verse-but they made the ACTIVE choice to NOT do that. I don't know what the reason was for choosing not to do so with this song, and that's what's bugging me: this is not Citizen Soldier's norm, it sounds way too commercialized for their style. I have these exact same qualms for songs from my favorite band, Trivium, like the ones listed in this video, or how "What the Dead Men Say" has a surprising amount of songs that sound a bit too similar to songs on "The Sin and the Sentence." This similar level of repetition has destroyed some bands, or at least their modern reputation. Nickelback is known as the band that has produced the exact same album several times in a row, for good reason. My biggest concern regarding this is that it's kind of a warning sign that a band is starting to get a bit too complacent, and while I don't want them getting TOO experimental, I don't want them getting stagnant either. They've had an impeccable track record thus far, I'm scared of the possibly of them blowing it.
I think the somebody kill me is a fitting repetition in this song. After over a year of burn out from an underpaid manual labor job, I can confirm this is basically the last thought that goes through my head before I fall asleep every night.

That's how I feel about it personally, myself. But I can understand how some people could find it repetitive. Like we said in the video, it's not gonna be the same for everyone, and we respect that xD
One of the best ways to start off an album xD great reaction as always i loved the solo of the guitar as well xD

It make sense why it's repetitive bc that's what a dead-end life feels life. If you know, you know.

I don't see the resemblance you speak of. Pitiful looks like a washed up rocker, and I look like a cannibalistic woodsman.
