To all the 30 somethings that can’t believe we got this old, and remember this song from a simpler time in our youth, I feel you. Keep going.

I'm glad my younger self listened to this song as a pre-teen that way I could come back here and listen as an adult during a time in my life when I need to hear it all. Thanks younger me, and thanks Relient

I miss the pop punk era so much.

Simpler times.

Always loved this song. Got saved by Christ a month ago, never realized it was about Him until now

I was brought up (and still live) in very secular Eastern Europe country where most of the people are irreligious. Becoming a teenager was hard enough for a boy like me, I also became a christian. I got my first computer at the age of 16. In mid-to-late 2000s I was drawn to a christian festival, so I started to search for "what else is in Christian music scene", cheesy modern worship was not in my list and I stumbled on Relient K. I listened all that was available. 20 years later, yesterday I sat in a car with my two children and typed in Relient K to Spotify. I still remembered all the words. Thanks Relient K!

This song "randomly" popped into my head today and I was singing it for no reason... so I looked it up and I'm here. I hope anyone else finding themselves here is doing well and fighting the good fight.

I'm 34 and introduced my oldest who is 12 to them, and he loves it. It made me way too emotional lol.

[zanegarcia-nokj]

Anyone here in 2025 Iam 15 and found reliant k and love all the songs any other suggestions

[jstidham]

I have no clue how the word “reliant” just randomly popped up in another YT video and I had a sudden rush of memories listening to Relient K in my bedroom on repeat!

[freedommealways]

Super tune from 2005. Who's listening twenty years later and beyond?

[simplicated]

It's 2018 and I am turning 27. When I first heard this song in 2004 I was 13, literally half a lifetime away. Hearing this song again really bring me back. So much has changed and I really missed the days of being a carefree teen...

This is the last thing my sister sent me. Last Christmas we were jamming out to the old school good songs we grew up on and it was awesome. I started this thing where we would send songs to each other. All I did was thumbs up this song. I never sent a song back. She's gone now, I just got word today. Goodbye Michelle.

God was low-key hitting me with the gospel before I even knew him. I just thought it was a cool song back then lol
Also, love the ending (those last notes), on the album version!

[SlushiStuff]

Okay i listened to this song because i found it randomly like maybe 5 years ago. Im Christian, and i just found out that this is a Christian song im so happy :D

[Roshand-pltn]

I've given up on giving up slowly,
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.

I'm giving up on doing this alone now
'Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
'Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for you to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing
Where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.

I fought you for so long
I should have let you in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were you

So were you

[BigManTate]

Randmly clicked on this song. Did not regret it. These lyrics cut right to my soul, haven't had a song describe my life so well in a long time.

[jackychan]

I'm 14 and never listened to music like this till my dad started playing reliant k and now I know every song and love them, I really hope they do one more tour so I can see them live!!

[CraigTodd]

Saw these guys live with Simple Plan and Good Charlotte...2005 Noise To The World Tour...I was 17 and had the time of my life..Front row, center...Pierre from Simple Plan climbed up on top of me during a song and used my arm to hold himself up over the crowd...What a concert...Ill never forget them slinging water bottles on the crowd and how refreshing it was inside that hot venue.

[DaniellaR]

this song has so many memories. i still love this song and always will<3
