Hallelujah, I'm not dead sounds both empowering and terribly sarcastic. Literally me when I wake up

I love how the line “What doesn’t kill you builds your throne” implies that some things that hurt you don’t necessarily make you stronger but instead are something to build on yourself because you’re already strong

This song is a painkiller for those who're dealing depression and anxiety.

"What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne." I think that it the most inspiring lyric I have heard in a long time. Thank you for this.

This song is a reference to “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”

"If you've been through hell and survived... you're a miracle worth celebrating." You have no idea just HOW powerful that is. 🥺🥺💖

My brother committed suicide. I have a semicolon tattoo. This one hits hard. Thank you for this. This is my every day struggle. Good to feel less alone.

"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse." Me - If we didn't have pain, we wouldn't know what anything good was like.

Pain can give you two things: - it can make you weak and surrender... - or it can make you stronger

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point but the consistent quality of all of your music is amazing!

When my friend asked "Hallelujah? Isn't that another religion? " And I said "Please you don't understand anything about this song, listen well and understand then talk after "

How is it that Citizen Soldier never fails to put me at a loss for words??! Those lyrics, the music... how can it all be so perfectly flawless?!

Record Producer: So... we need another hit. Citizen Soldier: We've got you.

I've lost wars inside my head This line hurts .....

"What doesn't kill you builds your throne" Easily my favorite line

Pls don't mind me I'm just gonna put this lyrics here. Flatline, a breath away I was born with one foot in the grave Been to hell and back Dealt a real bad hand, but I live with that I've learned to face my darkness Now I embrace my doubt Don't go and plan my funeral Don't go and count me out (Don't go and count me out) Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah Hallelujah Wake up, another fight Am I the victim or the homicide? What's in my head left scars behind Every step is an uphill climb I've learned to live in shadows Even without the light I've learned to love the battles Only the strong survive (Only the strong survive) Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead So if you're black and blue And feeling so abused No, it don't make you damaged It makes you living proof That you are so much more Than all this hell you've known Remember this What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Living on a razor's edge Danced with demons, tasted death I've lost wars inside my head But hallelujah, I'm not dead Won't be waiting on my hearse Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse My heart still beats, my blood's still red Hallelujah, I'm not dead Hallelujah, I'm not dead

4 words for you and this song: "Your music saves souls"

Okay this song hits me hard for a different reason. It’s the more literal of the lyrics, I have several heart defects and have nearly died due to them several times. Some doctors even told my parents that I wouldn’t make it but they never gave up on me. Now days I no longer suffer physically my health is much more improved but my mental health is another story. I’ve been struggling with depression for a few years now and a few months ago my mother passed away and so my suicidal thoughts have gotten a lot worse. I found this band in my recommendations one day while searching for songs to make a Star Wars edit to, and I think my mom did this because every single one of your songs is something I can relate to some way or another and the type of music is my favorite as well. Your music has been making this difficult time for me much easier to cope with so thank you for making these songs.

"I've lost wars inside my head. But hallelujah, I'm not dead!" As someone that's been struggling with (undiagnosed) Religious OCD, these words ring so true for me. Some days are easier than others, but I'm in a better place now than I was a year ago, and I'll take what I can get! And to whoever it reading this: Jesus loves you! Have a blessed day!

"Remember what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne" that line is amazing

love the purple yellow color scheme, the song is also so very worth the wait

"Only the strong the survive". You're are strong, because you're still here. Never stop fighting, survivor.

The lines "No, it don't make you damaged / It makes you living proof / That you are so much more / Than all this hell you've known" hit so deep I almost cried. My trauma and cptsd affect my every day life even when I don't have to interact with my abuser, and the feelings I have of being damaged or broken are dang near Constant. To hear this affirmation took a weight off of me today. Thank y'all for your amazing music

This song SLAPS! Not many songs are so good and catchy that I'm singing along halfway into my first listen and that's what I'm doing on my first listen. I'm already singing it like I've heard it a million times already This track is fire!!! Most songs I need to listen to a few times to decide if I love it or like it. But this song has me completely hooked on my first fucking listen. I see this song being one of your biggest hits

"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" It's a reminder that we're still alive, love that!

I love how every single fkng song is accurate as fuck.

Found this song at 3 am and now I'm addicted. This somg is so relatable on so many levels! "Been through hell and back" ? Jeez, hitting me right in the feels. I swear, Citizen Soldier makes the most relatable songs known to mankind.

I added this to my playlist before it even ended. I think we have all lost wars in our heads at least once, but guess what guys... You're reading this... You're alive... Hallelujah to all of you strong people :)

"Remember what doesn't kill you builds your throne." #HallelujahImNotDead is the anthem I have been waiting for. ❤

"Only the strong survive" Me: this is definitely how i would describe the world today! Love the song its so amazing!❤❤

What doesn’t kill you builds your throne. Lyrics!

Citizen Soldier, thank you for saving my brother. He has been fighting depression for years. There have been times I thought I would find him dead in his room, but he discovered your song and this one is his new favorite! He's getting better and I've actually seen him smile more! He has a ways to go, but you have helped him in such a huge way! I cannot thank you enough for letting my baby brother know he's not alone! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :')

This hit hard. I'm really struggling with about every single thing in life right now. I heard "hallelujah, I'm not dead" and absolutely broke. Yeah. I'm not dead. Hallelujah.

Jesus be like: Hmm. These humans are really working hard making new types of prayers....

I don't know if anyone will read this but I just wanna share it and continue listening to this amazing song. I was always bullied by people around me. For some reason, no one tried to be friends with me, or talk to me like I'm a normal person. I was always lonely and developed anxiety and depression throughout my life, feeling useless, worthless, nothing but someone who doesn't deserve to live and feeling like I'm disappointing even the people that doesn't know me. I don't know what Am I living for, why do I continue and why was I born in the first place? I feel like my place isn't here, that I'm not worth to even breath but when I think of dying, leaving everything behind, I'm scared. I'm scared of making my family suffer when it's all my fault I feel like this. Truth is, no one wants to die for real, we just want to feel happy, just a little time when we don't have to worry about every little thing, when we don't have to cry and feel guilty, when we would smile and be happy. We just want everything to be over, either the loss of someone or the feeling of being wortless because the people around you don't care at all, we all have scars we just can't forget. I always thought I'm alone, but I see so many people sharing stories and realize I'm not the only one and maybe I'm not someone who can say this but just... don't give up. Even if you feel like there is no tomorrow, like your world is crashing down and you have no place to hide, there are always better times and a good future that is waiting for you, you just have to be strong and face the world, cry if you want, do things that at least used to give you happiness and find someone to listen to you. It's always gonna be something for you, so... Believe in yourself, in the person you are and try to love yourself! ❤ I may not know you, but I love you, I know you're a strong person, a kind and amazing person and can do everything you dream for!

This is the music i needed, I've lost my dad, and my uncle was found dead on my birthday, i almost lost my mom, she's currently in hospital, and we live far from a hospital, and my mom needs to be near one, so i had to leave home, and stay with my sister in another city, my brother had to leave to California for school, and i can barely get a hold of my best friend. It's been so chaotic, i also have to leave the people i know, and get used to a completely different school, with completely different celebrations. And i won't get to continue learning my culture. (I'm Native American) And I'm not in a school, and i have to watch all tree of my nephews and my niece. I've lost so much recently and even my own free time, you guys make the best music i know. this helps more than you understand! Thank you!

Who the hell gave those dislikes?

The game may be rigged, but we play the cards that are given. An when they think we are gonna fold, we play the aces to fight another day.

I know this isn't a "Christian" song...But, This world wants to take us out, but we were created to live! Life isn't easy but its worth it. Don't give up!!!

These songs are so empowering. He has a way of speaking for those suffering from depression, anxiety, ptsd, and other similar disorders.

"Remember this what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne." This particular line really stands out to me because of how well it is written. I've certainly not had an easy life, since I've had it bred into my brain that I wasn't good enough for anyone, especially since a couple of my exes left me for another girl. That kind of stuff kills you inside, and it makes you never want to believe that you could be something more than what they said. I don't feel like I am quite ready to celebrate my life, though. I've always felt like I was not meant for love or happiness, but meant to give it to others instead. I've never lived for myself, and still don't know how to do that. Plus, my emotions are much more intense than others, and not knowing how to deal with that pain makes me suicidal.

"I've lost wars inside my head" that hits hard, this song is definitely going to be on repeat for awhile.

Citizen Soldier has done it again!!!! Another amazing song. In today's world its amazing to find a band who constantly finds a way to reach its fans with masterful lyrics and they do it every single time!!! Much love guys

"I've lost wars inside my head" Such a powerful line cause it truly is a mental battle to continue on. There may be no physical scars for some, but there are always mental ones.

Citizen soldier: uploads a new song Me: DROPS EVERYTHING and races to the video!! 🤘 absolutely killer song! You guys always have the best songs 🎵

WHEN I SAY I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE edit: I LOVE THE SONG SO MUCH I JUST REPLAYED IT TWICE

And the song is dedicated to Dean and Sam Winchester😂❤

Listened to this at work, and have to say, my manager recognized you guys! Your music hits hard enough to have people of all ages listening to you, and enjoying it. Your music is wonderful, and means so much!

Makes me think of my sister in law. She only has a few month to live. Not sure if I should send this to her or not. She has spent almost a year in the hospital. Has died and been revived 6 times. Had been through hell and back, then back to hell a few times over. They don't even know what's wrong with her. Just that her body is shutting down. This started in april of last year with a stomach ache. And now she's going to die. What do we tell her 6 y/o daughter?

A fantastic celebration of life in the face of a world that preaches doom and gloom. All glory and gratitude to the King of kings.

Hey Citizen Soldier, In case you read this; Thank you. I just recently found this masterpiece, and it landed straight in my mood playlist. I can (unfortunately) relate to the lyrics, and it was only now that I saw the semicolon in the end. I honestly just feel like crying right now. The fact that someone out there cares about us so much, that they make a song about it, is unbelievable. I am usually not the type of person that makes very personal comments, but i just need to tell you how much this means to me/us. Thank you so much for sharing the music. It makes me feel grateful for not being dead, and as weird as this sounds, i'm very sure that the author of these lyrics knows exactly what I mean. I thought that the scars I have had healed, until recently, a friend of mine took his life. We weren't best friends or something, but I knew him, and it showed me, what could have happened to me back then. Thank you for showing me that I survived some rough times, and thank you for showing me, that it was worth it. Thank you for giving me hope. Hallelujah, we're not dead.

"Remember this what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne" Instant goosebumps❤❤

Another amazing song from an amazing band as always. Your messages from these songs has amazing meanings.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH !!!! HALLELUJAH WE ARE NOT DEAD MY FRIENDS!!!! WE ARE STRONG!!! GO US!!!! 💜💜💜

I've dealt with depression for around 14 years now. Every song of yours that I've listened to speaks to me with different things. Thank you so so much with what you do for people like me. You're truly a blessing.

THE SEMICOLON! IT MEANS THE PHRASE ISN'T OVER! I LOVE THAT!

I use your guys music when ever I'm having a bad day and also for mma

„If you've been through hell and survived, you are a miracle worth celebrating.” You have no idea how much it means to me

It's official, I'm getting "What doesn't kill you builds your throne" tattooed on my forehead.

"This what doesn't kill you is what builds your throne" one of the most inspirational things I've vere heard. Thank you citizen soldier

Me: *sees a new Citizen Soldier song out. CLICKS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!* Less than five seconds in and I was HOOKED! OMG this was TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!

"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" that's a hard thing to realize but once you do it's a freeing thing.

I discovered this amazing song when my best friend showed me the ringtone he had for whenever I called. When I listened to the whole song, I noticed how much I could really relate to the lyrics. Almost 9 years ago, on December 26th, I attempted to OD on a muscle relaxer. I ended up unconscious, unresponsive, and unable to breathe on my own. I was rushed to a hospital and had to be on a ventilator for a week. Every time they tried to take me off or decrease the amount of breaths it was giving me, I stopped breathing completely. If I hadn't told my mom that I even took the pills, I would not be here. Your songs are amazing and I can relate to a lot of them. You are the first band to ever accomplish that for me. I'm so thankful that I found your music, especially when I needed it the most. Please don't ever stop writing your songs and blessing us with your amazing talents ❤️

"There is only two ways to lose in this life. One is when you stop drawing breath. The other is when you give up." Here's to all of us around to listen to this.

You guys really have a way to make people excited for new music. Absolutely love this new song.

I can't say anything else than... "I love it" and "Already added it to my playlists" "Remember this: What doesn't kill you is what builds your throne"... just...

In a few hours, it will be two years since you gave us this song. I have a story that isn't really mine to tell. You see, the day this song came out, I listened to it quite a few times, then a messaged my friend, and asked her if it was OK if she heard your song, then pass it onto her son. He was 18, and was born with practically half a heart, and his life was in most ways like the words in your song. Until recently I never really comprehended what your song was for her son, he quoted it, he listened to it, sung to it, and used it as one of his songs as his casket left his memorial, just over a month later. I still have this song in my play list, but I do not attribute this song for any negative, but as the greatest positive for one person in their final days. Thank you very much for this song.

"PAIN'S A GIFT IT AINT A CURSE" so true!!!!

Got goosebumps listening to this. Love the song and I just love all your music.

It’s been months, actually, no, it’s soon going to be nearly a year since I recovered from unwanted suicidal thoughts. During that time, I felt so low, and even came close to thinking of trying to harm myself several times. But now, I’m MUCH better. Though I’m not supposed to see it like this, it certainly felt like I went to living hell and back. To those who are still struggling with their mental health, don’t give up. You can get out of that dark place. It’s not going to happen instantly, but it *will* happen. And don’t try to do it alone. Be brave, and get help from others. If they’re not willing, find others who are. To those who have gotten past major hurdles involving their mental health, congrats! I’m glad that you did whatever it was that you did to get out of that low place you were in. The scars, whether emotional, mental, or physical still remain, but... you should think of them as proof that you survived whatever happened to you now. And of course, this may not be the end of your struggles, but whatever comes next, stand strong in the face of it.

2:15 - 2:40 "I have fought the good fight, I have won the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7-8

"so if you're black and blue, and feeling so abused, not it don't make you damaged, it means you're living proof" I'm crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Your lyrics are like a prayer man

I always get goosebumps. I can't even start with how incredible Citizen Soldier's song are.

OMG YESSS NEW SONGG

I have severe OCD and chronic depression. Some days, getting out of bed is a win. This song screams hope.

"Pain's a gift, it ain't a curse" is the lyric that sticks out the most to me because I believe it's the pain I've lived through that's made me who I am today.

Citizen soldier always motivated us. When I'm depressed I listen their Let It Burn song and feelings relax. Thank you so much Citizen Soldier ❤️ We want 23 more great songs from you guys

Hell yeah! This is some good music right here

I love your music this song makes me want to face everything who ever abused me and say look I'm still here stronger then anything you can do to me thank you citizen soldier love you all

My friend told me about this song and now I really love it.

“No it don’t make you damaged; it makes you living proof” ...I might need a minute or two A banger that speaks, just what I expect from Citizen Soldier~

love the song, the text is just to true and relatable, people dont like to see it but these problems exist and its soo good to see someone not shying away from the topics but embracing it

This song reminds me of my mother who is suffering by lung cancer since 5 years. They told her she has 1 year left to live and she’s still fighting ❤️

I was told i wasn't supposed to be born. My brother died stillborn before me. I wished I could switch places many of times. I struggle with depression and its only gotten worse the past 20 years. I have tried to end my life a few times. I even wrote my will out and how i would want to be buried. However I have come to be blessed with friends who have been supportive of my illness and because of that I am not dead

Another amazing song! And the lyric video itself was just beautiful. Thank you for another amazing song!

I swear Citizien Soldier just isnt able to ever make a bad song. This is amazing. And damn, I can vibe with the message for sure.

I'm a Security Officer at a Hospital, I work the graveyard shift and have to deal with some unsavory people, especially during the pandemic. There are days where it feels like too much but we push on and this song speaks the truth, we may get beaten down by emotions and literal junkies but we remain standing to protect the hospital staff and patients during these uncertain times.

My best friend Foster showed this to me and told me to read the description. I could not be more grateful for this. What happened to me didn't kill me, it just made me stronger and this song gives that message. Most teens my age don't really appreciate music like this. Mostly, they like rap and music like that. And each to their own but this, music like this keeps me going.

YESSSS

Hallelujah! I'm not dead! Thank you, CItizen Soldier, for releasing these bangers during these dark times. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this music helps me keep persevering. Blessings to you all!

Idk why but the line "Dealt a real bad hand but I live with that" and "I've lost wars inside my head" is honestly fantastic! "Dealt a real bad hand but I live with that" means you've had struggles but powered through it, not caring how it would end. Then "I've lost wars inside my head" would mean you lose to impulsive thoughts or maybe something darker then that like depression or even *those thoughts* it could even mean you have to deal with voices in your head. There's just so many possibilities and I'm so intrigued! You also have no idea how many times I've listened to this song trying to figure it out-

Hallelujah is God speaking to you all your not dead. Satan has nothing over you all seek God im so happy He has God in this word God is telling his story and speaking that he loves you all

Ur music really give me hope ✊

I love how real these lyrics are. Fantastic music every time

I need to remind me of this every day. I'm not dead. I am alive. I am strong enough. Thank you guys again! 🖤🖤🖤

This is my new anthem. Music like this is why I'm still sane.

Citizen Soldier uploaded a new song: Me:repeat 1000 times and stil the same vibe

Every song I've heard from the band is good

I've had 2 suicide attempts in my life and I'm only 15. But I have a reason to live, my girlfriend and my best friend. I'm living for them. My mother had been pushing me over the edge for 5 years, maybe even more. But I'm done dealing with this. I'm staying even if it hurts. HALLELUJAH I'M NOT DEAD!! 💜

Hallelujah I'm not Dead Hallelujah IS THE BEST
