I had legitimate tension while watching this! I was SO relieved when the hydra died, and the girl & the lion survived!

@LoneMaestro-

It all makes sense now.

You are the girl.

The Lion is Jesus because Jesus is sometimes called the Lion of Juda.

Near the end of the video, the girl (You) end up with a Sword. And in Ephesians 6:17 and Hebrews 4:12 it says the words of God is your Sword against the Enemy.

The Hydra is The Devil.

And in the End You and Jesus walk away from the Devil because you and Jesus defeat him together .

Narnia has the same concept The Lion is the Savior he died on a stone and ressurected in 3 days.

So that’s why the lions are the animals king

Lyrics

Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up, I refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Break their hold
'Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

No, we're not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight

@Shalalala_06

Tonight is the anniversary of when I almost let my own demons take my life. I’m never allowing myself to be put in that position again. I wish I could’ve sent this song from today to the broken girl last year this night. But I’m here now and this world is my battleground.

I spent 12 years fighting my daughters mother to see our child. She told me if I ever brought her to court I'd never see her again. I brought her to court, she had a lawyer and I didn't, and all 8 motions on the docket...my favor. I won the time I had with our little girl. That was 8 years ago. It was worth facing that fight. This song perfectly captured the entire experience. Fight for the ones you love. You only lose when you lay down and die. Men, I'm speaking to you. Fight back.

This gives me hope. Please pray for me everyone.

This song saved my life. I had just been medically discharged from the Army in 2013. I was lost, regretting everything. I was combat arms, useless to any real job. I was listening to music, and was ready to send myself to Fiddler’s green. This song came on and I stopped. Thank you Skillet.

@speakgames35

“I won’t take this worlds abuse. I won’t give up I REFUSE.”

“When everything you love is leaving you hold on to what you believe in.”

“NO. Not gonna die tonight, we’re gonna stand and fight forever.”

“We’re gonna fight for us together.”

“Break their hold cause I won’t be controlled. They can’t keep their chains on me WHEN THE TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE. This is how it feels when you take your life back this is how it feels when you finally fight back.”

“When life pushes me I push harder. What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.”

My dad had listened to Skillet for years and i was familiar with most of their songs, but I first heard this song on my own last year on Spotify. I almost started crying, in school, because it's that good of a song!!

@Tyrnip33

This was my childhood band and I love it for infinity and beyond

@Austin_m07

When you actually pay attention to the animation and the meaning behind the lyrics it’s just- damn…

I gotta say, Skillet is one of the bands I always come back to. I loved them as a kid, as a teen, and now as a young adult I STILL come back to them. Something about their music just brings chills through me

The city is my mind
The hydra is my dad
The girl is me
The chains are my depression
The sword is my anger
The lion is my mother

@ericajournaljg1334

I watched this video and listened to this song almost religiously every day when I was in middle school. It was the worst time of my life with so much going on, and this really was the song that kept me from dying. This song gave me motivation and courage to fight back, take my life back. And 6 years later, I have 👊

This song is so powerful. I cry every time but it's tears of joy that my God will never leave me and He fights for me every day. Such a powerful message!

Everybody talking about how childish the animation looks, but I feel touched by the deeper meaning behind the animation itself

The city is school.
The hydra is exam.
The girl is me.
The chains are my bad internet.
The sword is my memory.
The lion is Indian guy on YouTube.

When I was at least 19 my whole life changed, I have my first panic attack and anxiety during that age. It scarred me for 3 years. Three whole years, I lived under fear and pain. It was like cold flame surrounding my body. I couldn’t bare it and I thought I just wanted to end it.... but I can’t. My heart, my body, my will, they said “No.” I cried to myself....but I kept going. I stood my ground, I keep my head high and said “I will not die. Not now, not ever.” I will never let myself go, I refuse to go down... because my whole family need me.. and I need them. I am a warrior. And I will die as a warrior. Nothing more.
