NOT GONNA DIE
Death surrounds
My heart beat 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 flat-line

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

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

Not gonna die
Not gonna die
Not gonna die tonight

I love how this song can be interpreted multiple ways: spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Uub was said to be as strong as Kid Buu at the End of Z as a child, then proceeded to train with Goku for several years. He's beating Daima Goku easily.

This song literally and actually saved my life in 2015. I was homeless, addicted to drugs, and ready to die. I found this, and it was the only thing that would push me to try to move forward. That and my kids. I didn't know it was God speaking to me at the time, but I know it now. So grateful for this!

@OriginalSniperLol

this legendary song is about to be 11 years old. I loved the beyblade amvs that had other skillet songs and I found this song in 2016-2017 and been listening to this since. Such a damn good song and it feels so good listening to this again after so long. Thank you so much Skillet for an awesome childhood music taste. God bless 🙏 0:56

I cannot tell you how happy I am to find your music today! I’m disabled and live in chronic pain and some days are so hard I don’t know if I can do it. Your music will help me more than words could express. Thank you for going on RAV today for your book or I never would have known about you! Conservative stations need more of your messages!

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

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

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

When I'm sad, I always turn on the Skillet and I feel good. Their music is a cradle for me. I always turn them on before going to bed, and fall asleep to their music.

R.I.P. Dad. I love you.... Cancer has defeated you, but I will fight this world for you. I'm sorry I didn't spend as much time with you as you were worthy of. Work, personal life, friends... As a result, I only have a job left... No friends... There is no girl... And so you left.... See you, dad. Love your family. While there is time. After all, they will someday be gone.

The Greatest Thing About Skillet is even thou they're a Christian Band, they make their songs relatable and helpful to anyone whether the person's religious or not and even times where they helped a lot of people fight their problems and get pass their darken times and even saved people's lives who where struggling with depression (and most of that people were non-Christians) and as a Christian myself, it really saddens me and quite dissapoints me that there are still Christians who judges and thinks that this band is wrong just because of their 'loud music' LOL Do you think John Cooper himself is forcing their songs or even their softest songs to be sung on a church. If a Music has a Deeper meaning towards Christianity that is good, then it can already be considered a Christian music, worship songs are the ones that are sung in a church. Thank You So Much Skillet for Making a lot of Beautiful and Legendary songs while also helping alot of people with it and thanks for also being here around for making me always Happy. Skillet is still too underrated despite them being around for like 25 years already but have proven to be one of the Best and Most Talented Artists/Musicians out there... (Also this post is not to offend anyone or attack any Christians who are feeling this way too skillet but I'm just pointing out that Skillet is one of the artists who have helped alot of people get through their toughest times (and whether you're into their music or not, we cannot deny that Skillet are one of the most talented musicians out there) Just saying...

My dog passed away about half of a year ago. My cousin passed away a year ago. My aunt passed away half a year ago. This song helps me when coping to that. This band is the best band in existence, and it deserves way more recognition than it has. It reminds me that they know how much i loved them, and that my dog heard me whisper goodbye to her. Thank you Skillet... For everything you do!
