Make Them Suffer - Save Yourself (Official Music Video)

LYRICS:
Have I been keeping you sick?
Here's me believing a bleeding heart’s just a quick fix.
All you needed was me, not my solutions or views.
I wish I could take all this pain back I've put you through.
I guess it's too little, too late.
At least I can assure you; I had the best intentions.

It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest.
Get out tonight, don't say farewell.
Run for your life, go Save Yourself.
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet.
Get out alive, while there's still time.
And don't you dare even consider a "next time".

But through it all, you managed.
I left you bruised and battered,
took you for granted, took advantage and vanished.
And you'd think that just for once in my life;
I'd take a step back and maybe consider what's on your mind.
but no…

You're the strongest person I know.
At least I can assure you I'm afraid of my reflection.
(No no no…)

It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest.
Get out tonight, don't say farewell.
Run for your life, go Save Yourself.
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet.
Get out alive, while there's still time.
And don't you dare even consider a "next time".

You're the strongest person I know.

I've never been one to express myself so directly, more with imagery and symbolism. Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms. But just for one moment, I want to be open and honest. If we can't express ourselves directly and be prepared to expect negativity, then we'll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities. To search yourself and come face to face with your demons is terrifying. But if we can't face them, then how do we grow? How do we recover, or know when we're wrong? And yes, it's okay to be wrong. And I have been wrong… And I am wrong… And I am wrong! And this is me, and in all honesty I'm not doing so well right now, but at least I'm finding the courage to face myself. Self deprecating? Maybe. Self absorbed? Maybe. Bravery? Definitely. I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I've caused you. I just want you to be happy in life. I'll come and watch from afar, and admire you and every bit of joy and success that comes your way. I know that this is for the best, but it's been most difficult choice of my life. I did this for you, and knowing full well the consequences. This is me and my acceptance, all I ask is that you remember me as I walk away.

[TenaciousJoe]

His spoken words still leaves me with chills

[jorgevalentine]

"I am wrong."

That line is so simple, yet powerful.

Excellent song.

[trissiBmV]

How much of a message do we need in this song?
Make them suffer: yes

[charlesfthprado]

"I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I've caused you. I just want you to be happy in life." This spoke to me more than anyone or anything else in my life

[benpitones]

They actually released a video for the best song on the album. I love this band until death.

[abhaykumarsingh]

3 years ago and it still hits like a fucking truck

[GRUBBNSTUFF]

I'm currently having a really hard time at the moment. I have cried every time at the phrase I am wrong. Listening to this song may help me heal and find acceptance. Thank you.

[Obitus_]

The last part always gives me gooesbumps..

[VoteCartman]

Most underrated band of 2018. They're so good live too, support these guys like they support your ears ❤️

[oscarchavez]

Man.. listening to this song and the lyrics is like traveling back in time to my past love life with this beautiful girl I loved very much, we were together for an entire year. She was the sweetest soul I'd always dreamt of and whenever I was with her I just felt pure bliss and it was just one of the best feelings that you don't want it to end, EVER. Unfortunately, all of the sweet beautiful moments turned over suddenly, and things between us were falling apart. I was cold and possessive. I pushed her away and it was just not a pretty ending. To this day, I am still haunted with the "what if" & " what could've been" thoughts. This breakup has had a huge impact on myself mentally that I'm afraid of going into another relationship and fucking things up again. I'd rather be alone honestly, I just suck at relationships. Sometimes I miss having a person to talk to everyday and I crave being drowned in affection and love. I know nobody really cares about my words, but it sure feels good to vent everything here since I don't really have friends or anyone to talk to.

[damiancenteno]

Ik some of you are coming back to this song. Whether it be everyday, every week, or every year. You still think about them. They can't leave your mind. You reminisce of the times you both had. It hurts. It stings, and it didn't seem to go away. Or maybe it does.

Some of you may consider this "just a song", But to those of you who are fighting, Keep fighting. And keep feeling. This song is your safe space It's okay. It's okay to cry, it's okay to be angry. It's okay to be angry at yourself. We all deal with our hardships in different ways, and are dealing with them in different stages. I'm here for you all, and we're all here for each other.

Ik this doesn't need to be said, but just to make sure you guys (or gals) know youre not alone.

[chocolatepudding]

I love how make them suffer is always changing up their sound and does it really well every time 😌

[AtlasAvalon]

I love how this feels deeply connected to "Let me in"...

"Because I tried and I tried and I tried and I tried
But it wasn't enough
I promise I'll fix this one day at a time
*Just don't forget me, just please don't forget me."

"I know that this is for the best, but it's been most difficult choice of my life.
I did this for you, and knowing full well the consequences.
This is me and my acceptance,
*all I ask is that you remember me as I walk away."

[craigb]

Am I the only one who thinks of that one great previous relationship? The unforgettable one that just ended suddenly since you both thought it was for the best, but deep down it still hurts?

[duhsilverrfox]

It's crazy how this band can deliever a barrage of metal and be so technical and heavy and than out of no where brings a song like these with so much raw feeling. Make them suffer is a amazing band

[TheDede]

This song can't be loud enough for me

[wadewilson]

"How do we recover, or know when we're wrong?
And yes, it's okay to be wrong
And I have been wrong, and I am wrong, and I am wrong!"

This probably one of the most brutal and honest things i've heard in a long while. Gives me shivers everytime i hear the part. Even after the 10th or 20th time.
Such an incredible song.

[Verse 1: Sean Harmanis]
Have I been keeping you sick?
Here's me believing a bleeding heart's just a quick fix
All you needed was me, not my solutions or views
I wish I could take all this pain back I've put you through

[Pre-Chorus: Sean Harmanis]
Guess it's too little too late
At least I can assure you; I had the best intentions

[Chorus: Sean Harmanis & Booka Nile]
It's toxic, it's noxious, ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
Run for your life, go save yourself
It's twisted, it's bitter, it's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"

[Verse 2: Sean Harmanis]
But through it all, you managed
I left you bruised and battered
Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished
And you'd think that just for once in my life
I'd take a step back and maybe consider
What's on your mind but no

[Pre-Chorus: Sean Harmanis]
You're the strongest person I know
At least I can assure you I'm afraid of my reflection

[Chorus: Sean Harmanis & Booka Nile]
It's toxic, it's noxious, ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
Run for your life, go save yourself
It's twisted, it's bitter, it's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"

[Bridge: Sean Harmanis]
You're the strongest person I know
You're the strongest person I know
You're the strongest person I know
You're the strongest person I know

[Outro: Sean Harmanis & Booka Nile]
I've never been one to express myself so directly
More with imagery and symbolism
Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms
But just for one moment, I wanna be open and honest
If we can't express ourselves directly
And be prepared to expect negativity
Then we'll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities
To search yourself
And come face to face with your demons is terrifying
But if we can't face them, then how do we grow?
How do we recover, or know when we're wrong?
And yes, it's okay to be wrong and I have been wrong
And I am wrong, and I am wrong
And this is me, and in all honesty
I'm not doing so well right now
But at least I'm finding the courage to face myself
Self-deprecating? Maybe
Self-absorbed? Maybe
Bravery? Definitely
(So run for your life)
I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I've caused you
(And don't you dare look back)
I just want you to be happy in life
I'll come and watch from afar
And admire you and every bit of joy
And success that comes your way
(So run for your life)
I know that this is for the best
But it's been the most difficult choice of my life
(And don't you dare look back)
I did this for you
And knowing full well the consequences
This is me and my acceptance
All I ask is that you remember me as I walk away
