Icon For Hire - Supposed To Be Lyrics

[mollybennett]

“ now that you took my sickness away who am I suppose to be?”

I know this feeling, I had Lyme for the 12 years of mt life, when I started getting better and could actually go and do things I quickly realized that I didn’t have many friends and didn’t actually participate in a lot of things because I was so sick before, I had to build myself up from “the sick girl” to athlete, theater kid and friend to almost everyone. I had to find my identity of not being sick.

[toxxicdoll]

Oh shit...I broke my replay button. But seriously...is it just me or does Ariel really get how it feels to battle depression?

[Mothman_In_a_T-Pose]

This is literally how I felt for about a year and a half after the worst of my depression lifted. It was so weird and confusing not to be *"depressed".* It was such a huge part of my identity, I just didn't know who I was without my depression.

[caitlincox-sanchez]

I've been so numb to everything for so long but I'm finally starting to feel again after many many years. No therapy, no meds, just finally being happy with my husband. This song fits so well with how I felt around the time the numbness started fading

[erinrigatoni]

Being happy feels wrong. Depression is my comfort zone. It’s been a part of me for so long and has affected pretty much everything in my life and built my personality. Who am I without it.

[Wind_Cursed]

In case anyone needs to hear it, this is from one of Icon For Hire's more recent songs and I believe it gives at least part of the answer of "who am I supposed to be?" After having mental illness eat away at your life
"Part of the process was falling in love with the person you were before everyone loved you
Then you realize the point of your dreams is becoming the person that you're SUPPOSED TO BE
And then it's all clear
Take it from me"
- Icon For Hire, "Emo Dreams", "The Reckoning"

[ZombiefreakPrincess]

I can totally relate with Icon for Hire here as I had been suffering depression for a while and knowing that I wasn't myself, I knew that I had to let go of the problems that caused pain but I was afraid of the results, the outcome but thank goodness that isn't the case 😊

[honeybee]

I get chills when I listen to her music cause it feels like she’s calling me out

[stealthpanther]

I love this artist. Can't believe I only just discovered them.

Ths song makes me think of my brother in law, actually 😣

[AwkFoxx]

I didn't relate to this before but now that I've started medication for my depression, I'm in a state where I don't know what to do now. I don't have to battle everything all the time. I never knew anything outside if it. And now I don't know what to do with all this. I feel free but what do I do now? I didn't think I'd ever get out of this so...who am I now?

[JustSomeUmbreonfromJohto]

This is my new favorite band and song.

[DJ_Raywave]

Holy cow.... I thought I'd never find a song that fully described me so well.. Icon for Hire and this song HIT it on the nail.. THIS IS AMAZING!

[Sean_mag]

why does this video have so little comments and over 6000 veiws, surely the same 3 people didnt re watch this video up to 6000 times

[rachaelthompson]

I love how the tone of most of there songs are basically “sure your life’s rough but you can’t just wine about it, if you don’t do anything about it it’ll stay like that “

[ghosttoast]

I know alot of people say this on
songs and stuff but this actually describes me. All because of some years of bullys and a break up with my crush.. im very sensitive with my feelings so all of those boys ruined my life. but I'm almost out of depression just 20% more to go to get out

[duskdeath]

So this band became popular in the animating world... I'm not surprised

[kyleshoto]

i relate to this so much not even funny 😦

[laurieguerra]

tell me who am i supposed to be now ?? totally me in complete recovery and i dunno what to do when my mood is stable .

[squishy]

I know this has been up very long, I still resonate with this song as I'm scared to let my depression go as its helped me cope and survive. It's still a part of me, but I need help letting it go. I know everyone is different but I'm not sure how to let it go and be just myself. I still struggle and would appreciate some advice or direction if anyone is willing to help of course. I'd be extremely grateful 😊

[auraofmisery]

This song is absolutely amazing. Good job on the video for it, it looks very well done.
