SafetySuit - These Times Lyrics






These times will try hard to define me
And I’ll try to hold my head up high
But I’ve seen despair here from the inside
And it’s got a one track mind

And I have this feeling in my gut now
And I don’t know what it is I’ll find
Does anybody ever feel like
You’re always one step behind

Now I’m sitting alone here in my bed
I’m waiting for an answer I don’t know that I’ll get
I cannot stand to look in the mirror, I’m failing
I’m telling you these times are hard
But they will

And I know there’s someone out there somewhere
Who has it much worse than I do
But I have a dream inside, a perfect life
I’d give anything just to work
It’s like I’m only trying to dig my way out
Of all these things I can’t

And I am sitting alone here in my bed
I’m waiting for an answer I don’t know that I’ll get
I cannot stand to look in the mirror, I’m failing
I’m telling you these times are hard
But they will pass
They will pass
They will pass
These times are hard
But they will

These times will try hard to define me
But I will hold my head up high

Sitting alone here in my bed
I’m waiting for an answer I don’t know that I’ll get
I cannot stand to look in the mirror, I’m failing
I’m telling you these times are hard
But they will pass

And I know there’s a reason
I just keep hoping it won’t be long ’til I see it
And maybe if we throw up our hands and believe it
I’m telling you these times are hard
But they will pass
They will pass
They will pass
These times are hard
But they will pass

    Safetysuit это та группа, которую я слушаю с детства, прошло уже лет 8, я думала, что эта группа с многомиллионной аудиторией, что их песня/видео Anywhere but here с миллиардовым просмотром, уж больно часто я её везде слышала, и сама её до дыр прослушала 100500 раз... Так незаслуженно непопулярная группа, вы достойны всего самого лучшего, ребята.
    Благодаря вам, я выбиралась из стольких жизненных проблем, вы сопровождали меня на всем моем пути взросления! Вы всегда будете в моем сердце, я всегда буду вас помнить и поддерживать. Вы подарили мне самые лучшие воспоминания, все мои счастливые моменты связаны с вами, с вашим творчеством. Вы просто лучшие ребята, вы для меня всегда под номером 1. Неповторимая группа.

    For anyone that cares, I know the girl who holds the sign "My Doctor told me I might not make it" as she is my friend, and I am happy to say that she is alive and well, with a little boy" It is true, that these times will indeed pass.

  5. J.... P....

    One of my favorite bands and songs. I had a brain injury 2 years ago that I am still recovering from. This song resonates with me a lot

  6. a.... c....

    Back to this song in 2020 dnt know why i remember it
    But i miss the days <3

  7. A.... O....

    I remember listening to this song 2 weeks ago like “omg I haven’t heard this one in so long” and singing along all happy like when u know the lyrics so well... a week later I find out I’m having a miscarriage... and I’m back listening to the song with tears in my face..

    A.... O....

    Abby Osiris I just listened to this song tonight for the first time in several years...rough things in life right now...But you are right, they will pass...just takes time and courage

  8. J.... A....

    This is a sad song but really good it reminds me of being 21 back in 2013. I lost a friend for no reason now I am 27 and I am still having anxiety over the same thing I just want to tell her how my fiancee care about her. I hope she will forgive us I just need to tell her I have autism I have had the same problem for six years I hope she gives us another chance.

  9. M.... C....

    Found this song on Christmas day 2019, been unemployed for over a year

  10. x.... L....

    Feeling like shit lately. Took me a bit to find this song. 💗

  11. A.... G....

    This band is a treasure..

  12. R.... ....

    I jumped of a cliff due to depression, broke my neck and now im paraplegic, 16 years ago, was 21 now im 37, still suffer from depression.

  13. s.... s....

    This is my
    Rough week, rough few years, really don't wanna get out of bed because I don't think there's a point, song

  14. A.... K....

    7 years been, still I'm here listening to this piece 💜

  15. K.... P....

    I'm going through such a tough time. My brother, a man of few words, just sent me the link to this song. With tears in my eyes, I feel just a little bit stronger and very supported. Xx

  16. G.... W....

    09/2019?

  17. K.... L....

    2019 and I'm still here

  18. s.... ....

    Just like God's word: "this too shall pass." I wonder if that's where they got the inspiration.

  19. F.... L....

    The strength and intensity of this song.

  20. J.... A....

    This is a good sad song its how I have been feeling for the past six years I have a ton of anxiety. But I have been recovering here is my problem my fiancee and I had a very good friend back in 2011. Then we had a falling out in 2013 and it really awoken a feeling I never had in my life which was anxiety. Another thing I would like to add is there is a friend I want to make my fiancee wants to be friends with her so I am going to try to reach out to her if I ever get the chance. I know someone has it much worse then I do like he said I have had to fight though the anxiety and its not easy but I know I can do it. I have a job sometimes I just feel down but I do have a fiancee. I would really like to make my life better and be happy with all of that again and then I would be really happy hard times pass but you just have to wait and see. To be honest I first herd this song when someone put this song in a How I Met Your Mother video and to add this song would have fit that show perfectly.

  21. U.... ....

    This song is my go to in tough times

  22. S.... X....

    sometimes my soul needs healing and i listen to this 🌸

  23. G.... ....

    I lost my grandpa to brain cancer. I lost my baby cousin to hydrocephalus. Part of me went with both of them. They’re together now. And I will join them someday

  25. B.... C....

    😭😭😍

  26. e.... p....

    They will pass. Thanks safetysuit for this song!

  27. C.... ....

    Everytime I'm going through a hard time I listen to this and watch this video and it helps me remember that this isn't the only hard time I've went through. There was a lot harder times that I've went through. I'm a cancer survivor. A domestic violence survivor. A rape survivor. A suicide survivor. And a recovering heroin addict. I've been through a lot darker times. This is just a bump in the road and this to shall pass...

  28. G.... F....

    2019 anybody

  29. S.... B....

    I first heard of these guys when they opened for Chris Daughtry. It was the only concert I took my Mother to. A few years later cancer took her. These times pass, but they can leave a terrible wound that never heals.

  30. t.... w....

    I wish I could know where these people are now

  31. P.... C....

    I wanna grow up once again :(

  32. J.... ....

    I can’t ugly cry before work.

  33. A.... J....

    As a big grown up. I'm prepared to look down on what I would have seen as inferior in his youngsa music -- the lyrics or rythym or production or Something. And, of course, any of these pre-estblished notions are just bullshit, because this is universal stuff and it Is a beautiful song delivered with a pure kind of honesty.
    The pain the yearning, tbe feeling like a loser, a schmuck. Some of the most (ha?) successful people I've run across in my life still struggle with this. Don't run away from pain but fr chrissake, don't Milk it. Depression runs high for many of us. It's important to Do. And if you can't do the big stuff do anything but - - do Something! Take care if yourself and practice being kind to yourself.
    And always dance your ass off if you can or even just a little. ...jus some thoughts...

  65. B.... D....

    Anyone still listening to this in 2018 like me ?

  66. P.... ....

    Heard this song in the grocery store, yup, and I nearly broke down crying. I couldnt believe it. Id been going to this grocery store for several 4 years and the song would play (faintly) before but i never paid attention to the lyrics and i hated the grungy sound and kept thinking "what is he saying?!" So then tonight i was walking around the quieter section and i actually heard words! Cant even describe how comforting it was to hear someone put to music your exact feelings. The look he gives in this video when he sings "these times are hard" is like the look of a caring friend. I am in dark places mentally and i am losing the fight, sinking faster each new month it seems. But this song has comforted me like a friend and I couldnt believe this grungy song that i disliked all these years is now here for me, telling me, "i lnow these times are hard, but they will pass." Whoever these ppl are, thank u 💕

  67. J.... H....

    i love this song😄😘😚😃😗😙😜😝😛☺😉😍💝🎉🎊🎆🎇

  68. S.... V....

    I am 26. I was sexually abused in my pre teens. Tried suicide twice at age 18 and 19. I have 2 kids and I'm happily married but the blue days shown up on occasion especially since our 4 yr old has ASD. He's making a lot of progress but other people aren't so kind sometimes and now he's starting to comprehend rejection and being left out. It breaks my heart and it causes my depression to show up more often. This song hits home in every sense of the word.

  69. P.... C....

    I'm dealing with anxiety and depression.

  70. J.... A....

    This song reminds me of an old friend my girlfriend and I had a falling out with back in 2013. She was one of our best friends since 2011 we miss her a ton.

  71. K.... J....

    Heard this for the first time two days after my mother died. And wished it had been there when my father died. It was everything I wanted to say, but didn’t know how to. It got me through the toughest time of my life. Thank you.

  72. D.... C....

    Linda música

  73. r.... r....

  76. F.... ....

  77. A.... B....

    189 people are heartless.

  78. M.... A....

    It makes me cry every time I watch this video

  79. P.... O....

    Only recently discovered this song, and man it really touched my heart. It's ever emotion and thought I have felt in a song filled with so much hope. This gave me the hope that tomorrow evening will turn around.

  80. K.... M....

    These past two years, I've been kicked out of my parent's home twice because they feel that I do not take my little contribution to maintaining the house and laundry while they work. They act like its so easy to get a job, but I've lost jobs twice before my six month marking due to illness, one of which I had been in and out of the hospital with sepsis due to pneumonia for nearly a month. I'm twenty-one and do not have my license, but I start college in a month. I know these times will pass, but I wish they would pass faster so I can grab the reins of my life and lead it in the direction I'm heading with only the rights and lefts to worry about.

  81. j.... c....
