as a non-english native speaker i must say: finding this again after i learned english fluently and reading the lyrics hit differently

There isn't a single icon for hire song that doesn't have seriously insightful and thought provoking lyrics, these guys don't get nearly enough attention for their art

Coming back to this after battling depression just makes me feel so happy. This is like a victory song

Not sure if you will read this, but my name is Erin and you left me a voicemail when I was having a horrible time in my life, and I wanted to say thank you. I'm so excited to finally be able to go to one of your concerts, the message you left me really helped me get through.

A lot of people dont get that this song is about surrounding yourself with those who will help you out of your depression together rather than not move foward at all and instead always talk about how bad it all is but not do anything to change. This happened to me and though you love them, its like theres none of them left to love. It proves to be very toxic and theyre great people, but i much prefer to hang out with a crowd that doesnt drag me down with them.

haters can say all they want but Ariel is a lyrical genius

Lyrics: We throw tantrums like parties We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick And that's just how we like it We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned it Don't tell the others but it's all getting old I mean how many more times must our stories be told? And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's true I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital So now you know all my secrets I want out, I know I don't need this Can you find me friends that don't rank me on what I've been through The more battle scars the more attention it gets you Don't tell the others but it's all getting old I mean how many more times must our stories be told? And being lonely's only fun in a group It sort of loses it's charm when it's true I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital Yeah we should've known it would end this way What did you expect, pretend it all away And all we've got left is a sorry pile of hearts I'm getting out, gonna write myself a new start Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive We know better now, we don't have to live like this Go tell them all we don't have to live like this I meant it when I said I wanna get well, I wanna get well Are the rest of you so content, stay where you are but it hurts like help And I'm sure it's fun at first, test your pulse and check your vitals If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital If it's only a game you lost me, I quit it with the suicidal recital

29/11/2020 - I feel like every thing in this song is hitting home. Love "Icon For Hire"

Icon For Hire, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Paramore, Fit For Rivals= The best!!!!!1:)

Amy- Evanescence Lizzie- Halestorm Ariel- Icon For Hire THEE HOLY TRINITY!

"We don't have to live like this! I meant it when I said I wanna get well!" This song honestly may have saved me. To anyone who sees this please don't give up! Fight back against the bad habits you've got this. Know that at least this internet stranger is rooting for you.

2020 And I'm still here for the bass line.

"come on, dry your eyes, meet me on the other side, run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive" The scary thing is... I actually believe her...

I listened to this song while tired and instead of "suicidal recital" i heard "suicidal risotto" so now i can't help but think of a very depressed main course meal every time...

Can’t wait to play this one on tour😎 We’re hitting up 39 North American cities and doing VIP meet and greet in every single one! Grab your tickets NOW and let’s let the world we don’t need a record label when we have fans like you! 🥰🤘 xoxo Ariel

How have I not heard of this band until now? Freakin amazing!

Why am I just now finding them?! I have been missing out for so long.

00:01 How I sit on bed and think about my life every monday morning

I've had a terrible habit of being in and out of psych wards. It was always the same. I go in claiming to need help, I leave claiming that I feel better, I get out patient help, take my meds for a while, then at some point I start forgetting to take them, everything goes to shit and I end up back in the hospital. For me, this song is like me speaking to myself. I truly meant it when I said that I want to get better. The last time I left the hospital, I told this really nice nurse that the only way I would step foot on this ward again would either be in handcuffs or nurse scrubs. Thanks to this song, I have made true on that promise. It's been almost two years since I was last hospitalized. Thank you, Icon For Hire!

If you skip this song when I show you it you will never understand me. This the first song I listen to with icon for hire she helped me get through middle school and high school with a lot of pain I went through.

My Neighbors like this song so much they recently threw a Brick threw my Window to hear it better!

Warning: Flashing Lights and An F***king Amazing Song

My best friend sent me this song years ago. I don't know if he just liked it or if the meaning hit him as deeply as it hit me when I first heard it. I've struggled with mental health my whole life - and I'm finally seriously getting better and seeing differences. It's not easy. Breaking the cycles is difficult, but worth it. I just confronted a family member who has narcissistic traits and stood up for myself. This is a major step for me, as I've always had confidence issues and severe anxiety. I advised her to get help and I truly hope she does. She says she will. I thought of this song and had to come listen to it. Anyone who needs to see this: It is possible. Life can get better. Please save yourself.

the lyrics hit different when you're an adult and still so very depressed. after 2 attempts, i really want to get well, i really do. i want to be happy, i don't want to be depressed and surrounded by people who don't want me to get better, to drag me down and keep me down so they can feel better about themselves

I hate this song for how perfect it is and how easily it gets stuck in my head... basically, I love this song.

one of the best unregonized bands out there. pure great talent

10 years later, holy shit, didn't think I'd come across this band again

8 years later and I never heard about these guys till now WTF?! Where has this been in my life.

How am I just now finding out about this band?I love that guys mohawk

"we don't have to live this way" needed those words

Being lonely is only fun in a group. Sort of loses its charm when it's true. This hits really hard

I didn't truly get this song when I was a teen. Now I'm 24 and this song resonates with me after being diagnosed

Saw them recently, she reached out and held my hand for like 20 seconds while she sang and it was awesome. We talked later and she's such an awesome person. Just wanted to share this :)

"The more battle scars the more attention it gets you" my favorite line in a song ever

"Trapped inside of my mind, lost and broken, seeking only to never find, the cure to this illness that eats me alive, but yet I still struggle on and survive, living day to day, never knowing when I'll end, but know I'm right here with you my friend. Can you hear me screaming, and bleeding? Can you read my words in that yellowed letter that you're reading? Alone we stand, but together we fight, and if we run through the darkness, maybe we'll finally find the light. After all the beatings and monsters we stand, the fallen warriors, still hand in hand."~Written by me.. (This song inspired me to write this)

Why am I only just discovering this?! 😱🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥

I remember way back when I went to one of their concerts. Got a hoodie of their's AND they autographed it. Too bad now, because I lost that hoodie. :(

That drummer is always hype

"Come on dry your eyes, meet me on the other side Run as fast as you can and we'll make it out alive We know better now, we don't have to live like this Go tell them all we don't have to live like this" Too real

This song is probably the reason I said a giant goodbye to trusting the mental health system and started trusting myself instead.

Her hair is so full of Badassitude!

Thank you Splat (hair color) for introducing to Icon For Hire :) This band is amazing!

I'm still addicted to this song since the day she released it🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

1/9/21 Have to say I have seen a lot of band live and I mean a lot. But Icon in Cincinnati was the best concert I have seen, it was just freaking awesome. Love you guys. Come back soon please.

this girl is badass

This songs really helped me.When you feel fucked up or depressed; yoy should listen this ......

I can't believe I haven't heard of them until now. thank you crankthatfrank for introducing me to this amazing band

Man I sure do hate it when I'm sitting on my bed, blink, and become emo suddenly

Finally a band that has songs that my borderline personality/ptsd/depressed self can relate to

I haven't been feeling well for a few days, been having a bad cough, and I just found this video. It fits so good cause I wanna Get Well and everytime I cough, it Hurts Like Heck. lol

I have to say that your music helped me through hard times when I was in and out of the hospital trying to cope with my mental illness. I have bipolar manic depression, ADD and senithasia which allows me to see colors whenever I hear music which is somewhat distracting when I'm trying to work. I'm great ful to know that there is someone out there that knows exactly what it's like to go through life dealing with internal conflict that no one else can understand. Thank you icon for hire for putting into words what I couldn't express.

The drummer always has a look of pure joy it's adorable

Ariel Bloomer is the prettyest person that i ever seen.She is so so so so beautifuel and her voice is just ....WOW

imagine if icon for hire and fit for rivals did a song together, that would be amazing

I knew this song long ago, when I didn't knew English, my father played this song in the car and I loved it. And now, after 5 years i found it and only now I understood the words... Edit: 2024 now and I'm still here, thank you, UKposts for recommending me this masterpiece again, i still love it so much. And of course the lyrics hit differently now, then in childhood and even more different thaqn a year ago when this comment was originally written. This song gives me so much nostalgia, thank you so much, Icon For Hire for this amazing song

may 2024 anyone else?

Thats it. im now obsessed with this band

My mom, dad, aunt, uncle, nephew, brother, and his girlfriend all looked at me like I was satantic when I started headbanging to this song.

I ALWAYS get out of breathe when this part comes "Yeah we should've known it would end this way What did you expect, pretend it all away ..." HELP

i miss my sister inlaw. she play just befor , she pass. i miss you vondo,, always in are heart

I met them when I went to warped tour and got a poster signed omg I love them I also got a picture with the guitarist

Damn, Vi can sing!

Toxic people can erode your self esteem, self worth, and your willpower to change your life for the better. I feel like it’s definitely better to surround yourself with people who will support you, help empower you, and build you up instead of tear you down. ❤️

Issa shame this band never got the recognition they deserve. Icon for hire will always be among my top 10 🙏🏿

From stuff that UKposts has recommended it seems 2011 was a REALLY good year for music.

sometime a womans voice can melt your heart

Well, I've been listening to this song every day for about a month...

i was in a black metal coma for 7+ years and just got out and discovered this.

And to think I was convinced she was saying "hell" instead of "help" all this time

LyricsWe throw tantrums like parties We're not happy 'til everyone knows we're sick And that's just how we like it We've hurt bad enough, right, we've earned itDon't tell the others but it's all getting old I mean how many more times must our stories be told?

Thus is so badd ass.. IF ITS ONLY A GAME YA LOST ME... That part is really great

I only discovered this band less than a year ago but I've been listening to them nonstop ever since - awesome band and Ariel Bloomer has the best name of any lead singer in any rock band period.

Been sick with a fever for a while and all I've done is play this song.

Who else would love this is a movie?

My Older Brother William was 14 years old and I was 10 years old when Icon For Hire released "Get Well" on April the 23rd of 2011.

Who needs to get well? EVERYONE!!!!! But sadly.....not everyone is willing. God help the world.😔

This is my first time listening to this band, there ok

รู่้จักเพลงนี้ เพราะ skizz TV เลยนะเนี่ย

I'm not a huge fan of today's music until I heardon't icon for hire. This is now on of my top 5 bands. The way she sings it's like she's telling a story

Icon for hire eu escolhi te amar, Ariel canta demaaaais mdsss sou muito apaixonada

SHE'S WEARING A LINKIN PARK SHIRT

I would love to see fit for rivals and icon for hire to have a song battle

One of the most raw and real bands out there. I always turn to them when I need inspiration

Very interesting lyrics, i suffered from hard stuff and i think this speaks about depression and mental ilness and the feeling people get about not getting fun and being good with others hapiness as they view them as happier than themselfes, but you just wanna get well and be like the others and not being down , the line " it's only a game you lost me, i quit it with the suicidal recital" is like fuck this and i quit with these bad feelings, and lets overcome it. Very good mensage and this song rocks!

I am seriously addicted to this song right now.

I can't believe that I forgot this band Where am I 0_o

13 Jan 2022 , anyone else listening to this.

“Test your pulse and check your vitals” hit me.Because that little detail about being in a psychiatric ward makes for a bomb ass lyric.

This is how I feel I have depression and it sucks like hell it's hard to trust those you've been hiding everything from

_ughh.. _*_I think I'm sick_*_..can someone get me some more of that _*_iodine_*_. So I can _*_get well_*_ ?_

This song has given me so much hope and helped me understand my feelings. Allowing me to express them in a healthier way I don't feel as alone. Thank you

You can here that it's a cool band of the 2000s

Usually I listen to hip-hop, but I love Icon for Hire. I listen to this song every day, it's fantastic!

I don't know why but I really like the Mohawk dude's hair

You told my story before I ever lived it. Thank you for sharing your experiences ❤️❤️❤️

Forever my inspiration and help me to see the light, Thanks Ariel💜 I will forever listen to Icon For Hire and love you guys so much💜💜 2014-2021 and counting💜

New favorite band!

Paramore and Icon For Hire should do a collab- who's with me?

The walls collapsing in reminded me of my brief stay in a mental hospital as a little kid. I was about five or six, and everything was so white and sterile. The place itself was actually rather large and open, given that it was technically a children's care facility, but it felt tiny. No matter where you went, everything was extremely claustrophobic.

Wish I could show my family these songs cause they don't understand what it's like to have depression and why its hard and why I don't really like dealing with my family. But will be leaving my family behind after this year so I'm excited and happy
