Smile Empty Soul - I Want My Life Lyrics






I try
To be the man I am
In times of broken lives
And shattered dreams and plans
Standing up to fight
The pressures and demands
Staring at the knife
And holding in your hand
What used to be your life

This world is crazy
My dreams are fading
I want my life

You fight
Your fucked up holy wars
Fire anti-christ
Jesus will come down
And help us win tonight
Now how should I feel
I think I feel alright
So tell me where to aim
I'm blinded by the light

This world is crazy
My dreams are fading
No one can save me

I want my life

And when I wake up you'll be here
And it will be the way it was

Smile Empty Soul I Want My Life Comments
  1. a.... ....

    This is a band that won’t be understood even by people in rock heavy metal circles but will be understood by the generation it was released in to us this album saved us and gave us comfort that we weren’t the only ones who were feeling this way

    A BAND FOR HISTORY TO NEVER FORGET

  38. S.... W....

    A lot of people will talk about how this bands music reminds me them of high school age stuff, but really...this is a soundtrack to my life right now 27. The singer was a real motherfucker when he wrote lyrics, and want to thank this guy for being one of the many musicians who "get it" when it comes to writing from the heart.

    S.... W....

    someguy827 definitely man im 26 i found them 8th grade been my favorite ever since

    S.... W....

    S.... W....

    S.... W....

  39. J.... W....

    t.... ....

    tinyjester27 yep. It's so hard to listen to, but also helps.

    t.... ....

  45. c.... c....

  46. d.... s....

    Great song found ses years ago helped me with my fight and I think it was cause they sing about the whole god thing I'm in a really really hard point in my life and well this song helps out some

  47. S.... ....

    Very sad song kinda makes you more depressed:/

  48. S.... ....

    Oh my god that's so sad

  49. d.... ....

    we all deserve someone!! unfortunately most of us have to deal with these few awful people that are around.. just know that one day your search will lead you face to face with that special someone, when you least expect it!!

  50. k.... ....

    Brittney Lynn Saas...you are very sweet and a wonderful person to take time out and talk to relative strangers. May you be blessed in your life.

  51. L.... ....

    GREAT WAY TO GO.... to hell with everyone who takes others down. I am in my mid 50's. So bullied at school,(and I was really good looking, and a great figure, but so - so shy), such a long time ago,lived with it, suffered much. BUT NOW I AM SUITABLY MYSELF. 'you go and get "it all for yourself"....
    NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.....

  52. O.... C....

    This song would be well covered by a guitar and a violin.

  53. k.... ....

    Awesome song.

  54. F.... ....

    i've been bullied. familys never there 4 me an same thing happened 2 me with a guy i had a huge crush on him. bu t whn he actually saw me 4 once.. he told me 2 go kill myself. i've tryed so many times b4. and its hard 2 deal with stuff like this on ur own. just know there will be people who will care . just got 2 stay strrong. :]

  55. r.... B....

    Omg i have the same situation too i swear :'(

  56. D.... W....

    This song reminds me of how emo I was in high school. As if High school was even remotely difficult compared to everything that happens afterward LOL This song helped me get through "tough" times but now that I'm actually in tough times, this song does not express my desired emotion. I now prefer a "heavy metal" attitude. Don't let this whiny stuff keep you in a "feel sorry for me" mode. Do or do not, there is no try!
    Still, this song owns hard! SES still one of my favorite bands!

  57. K.... C....

    I've had people knock me down all my life. Now I have only one goal in life. Finish my Tafe course get as much money as I can and take the next flight on out of this country and go and see the world. That's my life. Don't give up on your own life :)

  58. b.... ....

    bro...I have exacly same situation ;/

  59. J.... M....

    goood luck :)

  60. H.... ....

    I can't wait to go to college and starting a new life.

  61. R.... C....

    I feel this way , great song . Thx for posting

  62. N.... M....

    Worst that happens is ppl don't accept u for who u are but that's how u filter true friends. Just take what u wnt from life. talk to this chick and no matter how many let downs are on ur bck just keep movin forwarde and u cant not achieve...

  63. b.... ....

    He's talking about the whole idea of the world is stupid and your fighting about fucked up HOLY war and a fire anti Christ that doesn't exist and you think hes fighting for you.

  64. b.... ....

    Sean is nowhere near a Christian, they are not a godly band.

  65. L.... B....

    you are not the only one!!!

  66. s.... ....

    It didn't save my life... true story

  67. A.... g....

    I used to say killing yourself was a cowards act..in some ways it is bc you destroy the ppl who lve you, even if you think no one does. Ive thought about it, but then when something good happens the next day, week or w.e i think on all those good occasions " damn, i could be dead rite now". Do whatever the fuck you want bc its your life. Go live.

  68. B.... M....

    its pretty interesting..this band has related to my life in so many ways with each song at a different stage in life and always has the same message that life will get better as long as you stick with your dreams...this song kinda sums it up as a whole...i want my life

  69. Y.... B....

    Youre not alone. There are so many people feelin like you do. But there is a way. I found it. Never lose hope

  70. D.... R....

    I didn't know that was possible :(

  71. D.... R....

    Man that was a nice thing to say :)

  72. D.... S....

    smile empty soul save my life too

  73. B.... M....

    this band saved my life...true story

  74. J.... M....

    that album was the album that got me through allot of high school so i learned the entire album on guitar there one of the most underrated bands out there

  75. b.... r....

    i saw them when they first put this album out when the were touring with trapt and they were amazing and this album still does wonders for me

  76. U.... G....

    Don't give up y friend. You are loved, Never by who you expect it from at first, but if it's one thing I've learnt from this band....it's that no matter how hard it gets, keep faith in the lord...We are all imperfect, but with him by our side, no one can be against us...afterall Jesus is all we really need...the rest is what we want.

  77. j.... s....

    dinner got me through highschool :(

  78. c.... ....

    I love this band so much, and I love the music..... but every time I listen to their music I get sad.

  79. M.... ....

    why does everyone think this is depressing i mean everyone on my school thinks so but this is the kind of music i listen to. mabey it is becuase i'm falling in depression again and no one can stop it but still. Not that people care through.

  80. R.... E....

    being genuine doesn't apply to many people actually. Even though I was treated horribly and maliciously betrayed by one, it should still be noted that there are many of them on both sides.

  81. l.... ....

    this album got me thru highschool

  82. e.... ....

    I could see that, like i said might take time, people suck. And the being genuine DOES NOT apply to females haha, that will kill your shot everytime.

  83. C.... W....

    i'll tell you from experience, being genuine loses you more people than it does making "friends"

  84. e.... ....

    Get some friends, if you are a genuine person it can't be that hard, though a lot of people suck. Might take some time. And just talk to that girl, she will probably rip your heart out. My dream girl did recently, but hey at least now I know, instead of having to always wonder.

  85. C.... L....

    Love this song and the guitar in it

  86. t.... ....

    love this song. this album helped me when i was,13

  87. F.... ....

    Really? That's pretty awesome. But I'll be seeing them on June 13th.

  88. a.... h....

    Love this band. And by the way I love your description info of the video. Thats what everybody should be putting down. Smart move bud!

  89. F.... ....

    This album saved my life as well. It really brought me through some hard times and I can't wait to see Smile Empty Soul in June. :)

  90. A.... ....

    true story... this reminds me of the night i cheated on my girlfriend in the back of my moms dodge caravan with another girl i had wanted to stuff for years, i listened to this song that whole night after because i felt so damn guilty, so i decided to have sex with my girlfriend in the back of the van the next day hoping it would like cancel it out or something! lol the shit we do when were 18, im 25 now and still think of that when i hear this song:)

    Spot on 🤘

  92. U.... G....

    @CheersBros Hi Cheers! I have felt the same way a long time ago. It was really tough to cope with everything going on around me, I had no friends, was way to shy to even speak to a girl. No one I could trust. But someone once told me that when I grow up, I would understand that Mankind will always try to do everything with their own strength, understanding, and reason. Now, I'm only 21 now, but I already know what it means. It means to not depend on others to live a happy life. trust in God.

  93. D.... N....

    @sa22driver
    I'm still trying to get over my girlfriend killing herself with my hand gun, I'm surprised I'm still alive

  94. j.... ....

    @Wellingenable Omg really? you cry over that pre pubes bullshit? You are probably gonns off yourself your freshman year XD XD XD X D

    Do it.

  95. s.... ....

    I lost my dad a week from my birthday last may. I've been unemployed for 8 months and I can't even get a job at Mcdonalds and I used to be a store manager at a restaurant. My cat got hit by a car 2 days ago. I'm 25 and I don't see myself making through another year. I feel like I'm losing my mind and I can't sleep. Everything used to be great. I want my life back.

  96. R.... M....

    @rickmaff sooooo how was basic training?

  97. W.... ....

    @corleynine no it does not. if you have a good life, its nice to life ofc, but if you have a bad life, just try to turn it to a good life. simple

  98. W.... ....

    i want my life back. i changed class from a very good class to a bad one, just cause i thought my friends in the bad class really were my friends... but a year after i switched class, they just ignored me and kind of bullied me. at this time , i had lost my friends in the other class. and now there is just a half year left of the school before high school for me. im strogn enough to go through a half year! and when high school start , im gonna make sure i get some real friends. this is my life.

  99. M.... B....

    yes i want my stolen life back .. i want my smile back .. i want my tears back .. i want my wasted days back !! i just want my life !!

  100. B.... M....

    @rickmaff so how's that working out for you, a year later?
