Icon For Hire - Here We Are Lyrics

Wow, this song is just what I needed right now. God bless you Ariel Bloomer.

this song really resonates with me. Because I have always thought that if I leave school, I will be able to change and be happy, but nothing really changes. so you just have to be happy for who you are today.

They are perfect

anyone still listening?

Nadia Schnitzel yep😁

Nadia Schnitzel can't decide LOL 😆

Nadia Schnitzel this one,Make a move, Rock and roll thugs,off with her head, etc.

I can relate to this song so much and I find it inspiring. I ❤ Iconforhire!

damn this band is gooooooooooddddddddd!!!

I love this band!!!!

Over two years since this song was released. Over three since I began listening to them. They are still a shoulder to cry on and arms around me when I need them. I am forever a loyal member of the Icon Army.

I Love this Musik 😍😘😊

hi love you guys

I love you 😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭I'm cadence Mahoney

The "Here we are" part sounds so similar to the "holding on" part from Linkin park's Heavy

Everyone is missing their old music and Im like I LOVE BOTH OMG SAVE ME IM DYING

I love how Shawn is just standing there like a duck. XD

She has such a beautiful voice <3

My daughter loves you more than anything else in the entire world! Keep it up!( :

The first time I heard this I was like eh this is alright and then 1:04 hit and this became one of my favorite songs off the album

I love how Ariel is standing there fabulously while Shawn is just standing there like a duck.

I don't see many "Christian" bands singing songs with this much truth and passion.. if the did they would not be played on Christian radio... which is what I love about Icon for hire.. Ariel IS Christian but doesn't want to just be in that "Christian band box " everyone should hear this music...

the amazing song. i love icon for hire <3

well, shit, this hits far too close to home

you rock by Ix

if only it wasn't taken off spotify :(

So beautiful.....thank you so much for this

These lyrics are too relatable.

My best friend omar killed himself last week. This band was our absolute favorite. I remember when this song came out and sending it to him crying. I can't listen to this song without crying anymore. I miss him so much

I'm so sorry for your loss, babe.

thank you <3

Jennifer Kalashian God. Bless him I pray that you get wel soon

Oh no! My Condolences :-(

When you guys came out with "Now You Know" I wasn't necessarily afraid because you were trying something new. But the overall tone was a drastic departure from you guys signature sound. But this song definitely sounds like classic Icon. Keep it up ya'll.

let's just play this on repeat while I write my blog post...

whenever I listen to their music I just see one piece and fairy tail playing in my mind

Will set my playlist from this channel on infinite repeat so these people get paid continuously for their hard work. Icon for Hire is forever for me. You gave wings to my own dreams of writing and publishing and gave me the motivation to get there. My book is finished and now you have more music for me to keep me going as I fight to get it printed.

I can relate to this song so much! But is it just me or does this song suit Attack On Titan?

YAASS! ^^

This song become my favorite the second I heard it. I love Icon For Hire so much honestly, even bought a shirt the other day!

Love here from iraq ❤️

Hey I'm a new subscriber to the channel but I've been listening to you guys for a while now, and I 'd just like to say that you guys are awesome. I love the music but as someone who has never been in a situation anything like yours, doesn't have the same kind of talents or interests as yours, let me just say that your fight and your story are some of the most moving and inspiring stuff I've ever seen. The raw intensity of your passion truly is awe-inspiring, and while I know one lone voice in the constant maelstrom of information that is the internet means little, I sincerely wish you the best of luck going forward.

sounds like a mix of techno and pop with influences of rock.. I really miss the old band.. ah well.. fireflight, nine lashes etc are other bands that have taken the same pop route...
much love to the band though!!!
hope it all goes well with the band..peace

keep up good work guys, say u at stockholm fryshuset as intro for HU :D

my favorite song by them is make a move 😍

I found this song today , i have it on repeat!!

you guys rock u make beautiful music people can relate to I hope to see u in concert u help me keep my head up

+iconforhire I can see this song used for WWE's Tribute To The Troops this year. Thanks for the amazing song! Please think about what I said because a lot of WWE fans listen to this type of music. They would love your guts music and support you.

i just found this duo/band/group, AND I AM LOVING IT! Fans, tell me everything about them 😍

+krissy xox Not much to tell. They are amazing people who make amazing music. They have overcame a lot of crap over the past couple years like a label that was trying to sabotage them, which led to Shawn turning to alcohol to escape those problems, and then the alcohol became a problem that he was finally able to get help with after Warped last year, and he is now clean and sober again, and now with no label to hold them down, and no one but the IconArmy backing them, they are free of any restrictions and creating some of the best music they've ever made.

I don't think I've ever cried at a song before . . . and so much!! I relate to this SO much!! 😢

lyrics:

Why are we still sad
Why are we still sad
When we gonna wake up happy
When we gonna wake up happy, happy
Why are we still sick
Tell me what I'm missing in this
Why we gotta hurt so badly
Why we gotta hurt so badly, badly

Thought by now we would all be
All grown up, finally free
Living our lives, thought we'd fly

But here we are
Bruised and battle scarred
All our beating hearts
Here we are, here we are
Come this far
Fighting for our lives
Holding on tonight
Here we are

Here we are
Here we are

We’re not where we thought
But we’re still standing tall
What’s it gonna it to break us
What’s it gonna make us wake up

Thought by now we would all be
All grown up, finally free
Living our lives, thought we'd fly

But here we are
Bruised and battle scarred
All our beating hearts
Here we are, here we are
Come this far
Fighting for our lives
Holding on tonight
Here we are

Here we are
Here we are

Didn’t think we’d get this far
Didn’t know if we’d survive
Odds against us, here we are
Can you believe we’re still alive? 2x

But here we are
Bruised and battle scarred
All our beating hearts
Here we are, here we are
Come this far
Fighting for our lives
Holding on tonight
Here we are
Here we are

Also in the description, arranged better.

You're so awesome. Going without a label is pretty amazing, and having so much support from fans!? That's dedication, not only from the fans but you guys as well!

I love the electronic mixing you guys have been doing. You're giving the best of both worlds: some rock and some electronic. Perfect combo. Can't wait to hear more!!!

I love all the songs you guys have made, but this is my favorite!! :) I'm glad you're back!!! Forever a FAN!!!

Holy fuck Icon for Hire. I want to make a stupid joke about about the world being fancy as shit by using broken Latin and saying the USA can't use the metric system, but your epic songs don't make me think straight so I'm having to explain an untold joke that is there somewhere!

My fav of the new songs but nowhere near the high standards of Scripted!

That all? I need more. Guys, you are amazing

keep the great work. don't let the big business win. and keep moving on

Amazing like always

I love listening to your music when my depression is too hard to handle, I can burst my ear drums out and just let the tears stream down my face and feel better.

nice song one of ur best!

+Nightcore Panda Agree love the new sound! + `Supposed to be`

as a young adult who thought he'd be long over his depression by now... I can relate to this a lot. I love it! Icon For Hire never disappoints.

+DavidZorkboy Have you thought about trying to find a local support group if that could apply to whatever is causing your depression? I've been battling my depression for the past 4 years and just a few weeks ago found a support group.

omfg i love this song this is in my top three from them O.X

It just makes me feel like I really am not alone. I love Icon For Hire because of this. When I listen to your songs, I feel so much better inside, and not like a mania feeling. It feels like I can make it through this. I'm going to a Residential Treatment Center soon, and it feels so uncertain. But hearing this, I feel hope. Thank you so much for being a big part of my life without actually meaning to.

I just want to point out, that a band doesn't have to stick to making one style of music; Especially if you're basing your music off your heart, and your feelings. Your views on things change, as you change, throughout life. I think the newest stuff is some of the most catchy music yet. Keep on rocking, guys.

you guys are amazing

We started at the bottom, each and everyone of us. We love the rise to the top, but every wave we ride comes crashing down eventually.
We started at the bottom, but we made it to the top, we did it once and we can do it again.

+kendell glock What's that from?

I write in the moment, so, to answer you it's from me on 3/31/16

So I'm reading the comments and it really annoys me when people are like "I miss your old style" bcuz like people change, their music changes. Everyone says this about so many bands but you know what they have the right to change up their music a bit. They aren't always going to stay the same forever, they're going to develop in their music genre/sound. I love icon for hire and all their music, this is still an amazing song regardless. Really, people need to stop whining about it and enjoy the music. <3

this song is so good I'm crying

I want a mash up of this and kill or be killed by new years day!

I'm in love with this song WE LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!!

Please add song on Spotify. ;)

you two are what this industry needs you passion for your music that by the way gets me through life my heart bleeds for you and all you have been through and I stand by you and what you stand for I feel your message and yearn for the same goals as you have I don't have a lot to offer but whatever I can do I will do it for you.

amazing song love u guys

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SCREAMING SO BADLY!!!!!

you guys are amazing Ariel you are my role model not letting people sexualize you writing music that makes you happy. Next year I graduate I'm moving and going to write and start my career thanks you for the inspiration.

I have so much respect for you IFH! Love your songs <3

It takes guts to do what you all are doing. Icon helped me through a very hard time in my life so Its awesome to see you do whatever it is you have to do to keep going during your hard time. You'll always have fans who support you. #YOUCANTKILLUS

I love the song you guys are the best your songs have helped me get through bad times thank you for make amazing music

not my favorite song from these guys, but still, so wonderful!

after watching your kick starter video and now listening to this, i understand more about this song, and i teared up

i sound like a crazy as fan, but wow i love you guys oh so much

#youcantkillus

I need more hardcore music like you did before guys. I don't say that your music now is bad but I prefer Icon for Hire like it was earlier. Something like Iodine or Off With Her Head.

I think I'm half of the views on this video! This song is amazing!!!! You are my favorite band ever and I hope I get the chance to see you live again!!!

Ive never heard a bad song from you guys. There are those I can listen to on repeat, and this just adds to that list. Love this song! I had to jump onto the kickstarter and back you guys, I can't wait to hear more!

love the new song, who needs those record label bastards anyways.

IM SO EXCITED IM GONNA EXPLODE AHH

SOCORRO!!! <3333333

IM ACTUALLT CRYING REAL TEARS I FUCKING LOVEBTHIS BAND

OMFG I CAN'T

Fucking amazing <3 !!!!

Vem uma era nova *-*

Really love the lyrics in this one. You guys have always been able to write about the stuff that's usually hard to talk about, and present it so beautifully. Thank you. :)

I really like this song.

icon for hire i love you so much you guys are one of my favorite band's

In love with this already! It's almost like it's impossible for you to drop a song that I don't like-especially now that you aren't being filtered and smothered. Icon Army for life!!!!

I LOVE THIS PIC!!

It's SO reminiscent of "Fall apart" to me. They both punch me right in the heart the same way. 😂

OMG This is so gooooooooodddd!!! O_O!

I love it so much!!!!!

After a few times I've listened to this, I've gotta admit it grew up on me.

Not bad but I really miss the days when there was less of a beat and more of an electric guitar. Like, when it was a bit more punk, I guess. Just look at "Make a Move" with its 10 mil views or "Get Well" with 9 mil.

+Commander Furiel That's because those videos have been up since 2011, 5 years...these new videos have only been up for a very short time. This one maybe over a month, and the other 2 not even a month yet.

starting to see parts of firefly/serenity when i listen to this :D damn, i love that

it's good but I miss the punk rock :'(

I would say that its turning more into core rap, like Hollywood Undead

They were never punk, they have always been on the more poppier side of rock. If you listen back to Scripted you can hear the synthesizers.

Kinda Linkin Park-esque to me, especially Supposed to Be.

I do beleve they where nu metal

Icon never was nu-metal, Slipknot & Five Finger Death Punch are examples of nu-metal.

Icon is a rap-influenced hard rock band but their newest work is getting more pop-influences.

IM DEAD I CANNOT GO ON I LOVE THIS BAND MORE THAN MYSELF
DAMN ICON FOR HIRE, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE GREAT MUSIC

how from rock n roll !!! you go on pop :( pls answer
