Hydra = your demons
The girl = your innocence
The lion = your strength
The chains = your problems/fear
The city = your battlefield
The sword = your weapon/courage
Statue = guidance
Walking away = the ability to move on

I love skillets messages in their music! This song is amazing

[fakefish]

Girl: "runs"
Hydra: And I took that personally

[Ghost_Hawk]

I love the biblical references in this video; the seven-headed dragon from Book of Revelation, the lion that protected the prophets against the pagans, the little girl beginning her attack with just a stone and slingshot, like David defeating Goliath, her picking up the sword (from an angel statue) and fighting the beast with it, much like the archangel Michael fighting the devil, and a crumbling city that collapses, just like the walls of Jericho or Sodom and Gomorrah during the time of Abraham. This is an awesome video for combining these themes, and has a good message about not giving up in the face of insurmountable odds and certain death. Love Skillet.

I gotta say, Skillet is one of the bands I always come back to. I loved them as a kid, as a teen, and now as a young adult I STILL come back to them. Something about their music just brings chills through me

She broke those chains when he sang “the truth has set me free.”

Holy hell, that was POWERFUL.

The people who disliked most likely didn’t like the animation, not the song

[toddbrewer]

This song saved my life during one of my darkest moments, and introduced me to Christianity. God bless this band, you have my gratitude.

[CrystalKZM]

8 years later and i still cry with this song, so powerful

[speekerlol]

“Don’t you give up on me.” “You’re everything I need..”

*I was in tears after those words spoken*

[ericajournaljg]

I watched this video and listened to this song almost religiously every day when I was in middle school. It was the worst time of my life with so much going on, and this really was the song that kept me from dying. This song gave me motivation and courage to fight back, take my life back. And 6 years later, I have 👊

[duckwithaknife]

The city is school.
The hydra is exam.
The girl is me.
The chains are my bad internet.
The sword is my memory.
The lion is Indian guy on YouTube.

[dgareandro]

[highdwolf]

This song is so powerful. I cry every time but it's tears of joy that my God will never leave me and He fights for me every day. Such a powerful message!

[gzfguvenyucel]

Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up or refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in
The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Break their hold
Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
The last thing I heard is you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta stand and fight forever (don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We've gotta fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight
No, we're not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight

My dad had listened to Skillet for years and i was familiar with most of their songs, but I first heard this song on my own last year on Spotify. I almost started crying, in school, because it's that good of a song!!

The Hydra is a Hydra
The girl is a girl
The lion is a lion
The chains are chains
The sword is a sword
The City is a City

_I knew simba was the lion king but he's pretty damn ballsy to be taking on Ghidorah. Respect._

When I was at least 19 my whole life changed, I have my first panic attack and anxiety during that age. It scarred me for 3 years. Three whole years, I lived under fear and pain. It was like cold flame surrounding my body. I couldn’t bare it and I thought I just wanted to end it.... but I can’t. My heart, my body, my will, they said “No.” I cried to myself....but I kept going. I stood my ground, I keep my head high and said “I will not die. Not now, not ever.” I will never let myself go, I refuse to go down... because my whole family need me.. and I need them. I am a warrior. And I will die as a warrior. Nothing more.
