Bring Me The Horizon - True Friends (Official Video)

01.01.2026 🎉

His words being completely muted speaks so much to the entirety of the songs video and meaning

Never knew how much a music video could change my entire perspective of a song until now

2024 ??? if you're still playing it, you're a legend.

Oliver I've never told u this brother.. but listen... I was abused and my sisters both mentally and physically in many cycles of ways till we were adults... A part of our lives just went terribly dark and was hidden and hushed and now we're all scarred and damaged and fked. Barely sane... Thx for sympathizing with stolen innocence. And things like mental illness also... Ur hitting the mark of a good artist...

“You got a lot of nerve, but not a lot of spine, you made a bed but you’re worried about mine”
Great lyrical choices

Oli Sykes wrote a song about a previous relationship where he was betrayed by his lover. He no longer wanted to deal with her and believed he would take revenge because Karma couldn't escape.

Sykes explained to Kerrang! : "True Friends' is about certain people who really cut me off. To be honest, this applies to a lot of people I've known throughout my life. I don't hold any hatred or anger towards anyone, because it's too draining,"

"It's about me coming to terms with the situation - it's about telling people that I can forgive, but I will never forget. From now on I will always keep them close."

We've all had that one "friend". It's quite ironic that by dropping only 1 letter you get "fiend"

I found this out last week honestly. The lyrics make so much sense now.

2:00
Can we just appreciate how good the transition into the first verse sounds ;D

I was listening to this on auto play and my first thought was 'They just don't play music like this anymore.'

I'd love to see this made into a full length movie.

the number of commercials on youtube now when listening to a music playlist is getting RIDICULOUS

That intro is powerful af. The powerful riff and the omnious orchestral strings behind it definitely suits the whole idea of a sad abusive relationship. This whole video hits hard with the music.

damn they really made those strings sound like some frostpunk music

the way Oli performs. its just so attractive holy fuck

Bring me the horizon has become less of a band and more of an experience.

0:11 James' dad Phil in TEOTFW???

This band is art people judge music for sounding heavy ( even though this isn’t their heaviest of songs) but it’s like if only more people knew the artistry these types of bands show through their storylines and music

everyone: aggressively playing their instruments
Jordan: *agressively presses buttons*

I like this song because it remind me that it's hard to trust someone. Many times who we consider a friend is not really a friend, we never really get to know someone so it's better to trust ourselves first before doing it with someone else.

That moment when a band makes a better movie in 8 minutes than most directors do in 2 hours.

Who needs friends when you can trust nobody.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front
It's funny how
Things work out
Such a bitter irony
Like a kick right to the teeth
It fell apart
Right from the start
But I couldn't even see
The forest for the trees
(I'm afraid you asked for this)
You got a lot of nerve
But not a lot of spine
You made your bed
When you worried about mine
This ends now
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front
It's kind of sad
'Cause what we had
Well it could of been something
I guess it wasn't meant to be
So how dare you
Try and steal my flame
Just 'cause yours faded
Well hate is gasoline
A fire fueling all my dreams
(I'm afraid you asked for this)
You got a lot of nerve
But not a lot of spine
You made your bed
When you worried about mine
This ends now
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front
You can run
But you can't hide
Time won't help you
'Cause karma has no deadline
You can run
But you can't hide
Time won't help you
'Cause karma has no deadline
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

Hard to believe this album is 5 yrs old

Something funny I noticed:
Chelsea Smile - shortened for the music video
True Friends - damn near doubled in length for the video

This music video alone has a better plot than most films these days in 2019

thor : bring me thanos!
ME : BRING ME THE HORIZON!!! \\m//

this is probably one of the best music videos i've ever seen. i've loved this band for so fucking long and everytime i watch it, it's like i'm watching it for the first time all over again. the chills and emotion it gives me is insane, i love them so much

2019 May 29 anyone still listening?
Like if u still love BMTH

I've listened to them for years, sang to this song hundreds of times, but why did Youtube only show this to me now!?

Sometimes when people hurt you, they don't care that they've hurt you. They don't care how you feel or how you suffer, I don't think they'd care to be forgiven.

"So how dare you try and steal my flame just 'cause yours faded? Well, hate is gasoline, a fire fuelling all my dreams"

This part gives me chills
True Friends is my favorite BMTH lyrics so far

At 1:30 that dark violen and other instruments make that part kinda scary

I like how when this came out nobody knew about the Easter egg of their song follow you.

The father is abusive towards both his daughter and his wife, which ends with his wife killing herself. The daughter almost does the same thing. The father has an affair with the wife of the man he meets in the bar. That´s why he blames the father for ending his marriage, although they didn't have a good marriage to start with. Another reason for the mothers suicide could've been that she knew about her husbands affair. The person behind the horse and the other messages is the daughter, because she wants revenge on her father. The father finds the woman he had an affair with in his garage and gets sad and also scared I would guess. His daughter killed her because she knew about the affair and wanted her gone as well as her father. She then kills her father by hitting him in the back of the head, not the front. Because they are not true friends. The reason why we can't hear the father speak might be because he doesn't confront people directly, he doesn't stab people in the front so to say. This is just a theory. There's a lot of theories but I don't know which one to believe in.

just realize, "follow you" first promo in here, maybe

i love how they used Follow You in the story part of the song.

this video was wild from start to finish

For anyone who wants to know what this video is about and doesnt want the long descriptive vers.

This man(beard) abuses his daughter and killed his wife out of anger, hiding her body and reporting her missing. The daughter knows what really happened and whats to expose him. She send letters and pictures telling him she knows what he did and plans to get revenge which is seen at the end when he goes to the abandoned station and finds a corpse which he knew was his deceased wife. She then most likely kills her father and runs away.

Wtf i had no idea true friends had a video

I love how in the bar place Follow You is playing in the background 😂

I've got ,,true friends" in school... If I survive next 2 years it will be miracle...

I miss Stevie Wonder's Eyes

First: I need Oli's shirt i love it
Then: I am lying i just need Oli

Should've won album of the year

I love them.
I couldn´t say anymore.
I love them.
<3

I love it when he says that karma has no deadline

so the main character is a detective troubled with anger issues. in the past, he stole his wife from the other man in the bar, but as the other man said, "he lost her". the detective's marriage thus also falls apart and in one of the many angry fights, he kills his wife, buries her somewhere and claimed she was missing. however, the only person who truly knew was his daughter, who he repeatedly abused in the time after the wife's death. she contemplates suicide, but decides that revenge is the only way. thus she mutilated the horses, left the spray painted signs foreshadowing her father's demise, leaves a message calling him a murderer and finds her mothers buried body. she sits her mothers corpse up, shown by the wedding ring, and lures him into the trap, where she finally takes her revenge on her murderous abusive father.

Love how Follow you was playing in the Pub scene
