As a U.S. Army Veteran (who suffers from PTSD), when I first heard this song a couple of years ago, I couldn't even begin to express in words how much this song touched me to my very core. I've shared this song with some of my closest friends, who have been suffering from PTSD due to active duty military service as well. This truly does bring a sense of comfort and peace during those unfortunate, unsettling, moments that PTSD can bring on. Thank you, for such an inspiring song.

This song literally saved me today...helped me feel like myself again after battling 2 years of depression after losing my first child...I stand behind music saving a soul. Never give up!

I'm 63 and lost my wife of 27 years to cancer almost one year ago.This song and "Hold on to Memories" are my go to when I need a good cry. Thank you. Be well...and rock on!

Currently going through very depressing times. came to hear this song. anyone else?

I feel like this is an uplifting song. If you look at humanity as a world our greatest moments have been when we have been beaten down. The human spirit survives in the darkness of slavery, brutality, and everything that is thrown at us because we hold onto that light, that hope, that faith that burns inside us all.

I never in my life expected to hear an uplifting metal song.

Just don't stop guys.. We are here (2022) listening your songs on repeat.. In our hardest time, in our struggle, in our failure.. This song provide the best response to ourselves.. A correct mindset when we're loosing it.. (Fan since 2017) Dropping this comment in hope that someone in future will like and that will remind me this amazing song...

Back here in 2024 after deciding to finally be sober. Thank you guys.

As soon as David became a father, he became mature... Old disturbed - ''I'm dropping plates to your ass'' Now - ''Sometimes the darkness, can show you the light''

Like an unsung melody The truth is waiting there for you to find it It's not a blight, but a remedy A clear reminder of how it began Deep inside your memory Turned away as you struggled to find it You heard the call as you walked away A voice of calm from within the silence And for what seemed an eternity You're waiting, hoping it would call out again You heard the shadow reckoning Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded You held your guard as you walked away When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light An unforgivable tragedy The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it Prepare yourself for the reckoning For when your world seems to crumble again Don't be afraid, don't turn away You're the one who can redefine it Don't let hope become a memory Let the shadow permeate your mind and Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away So that the door can be opened again Within your darkest memories Lies the answer if you dare to find it Don't let hope become a memory When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful Sickening, weakening Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul You need strengthening, toughening It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you Ignite the fire within you When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness Can show you the light

This song saved my life. Never underestimate the power of music. Thank you for you music.

I know yall are probably not gonna see this, but thank you. I need to hear this. I started thinking about the lyrics. and it made me realize that im not alone, and than I have people to help me. I am going to survive this, no matter what happens, I will come out on top. Thank you disturbed, I dont know if I will ever find a way to pay you back, but I owe you one Edit: I did it, I fucking did it, I came out of it. All those cold sleepless nights are finally over, I can't thank you guys enough. To anyone else who is going through something: Just keep going, you will make it out. You are stronger than you think, if my dumbass can beat it then so can you, I know you can. Im proud of you, I really am. Its not easy to get through, and yet here you are, still standing. Keep going, you're gonna make it.

Even for this being just a lyric video, the visuals in it looked great.

Currently going through some really heavy shit right now, this song couldn't have come up at a better time. Thank you Disturbed for everything.

This is by far the deepest, most uplifting metal song ever.

I've loved Disturbed since I was in my early teens, and never stopped. This song crossed my spotify playlist today, and with the current state of the world with Corvid-19 running rampant just hearing this song gave me some more well needed hope that everyone affected by this horrible virus remains safe and well taken care of if the worst is to occur. I love everyone on the fact that we are all human beings, and I hope that every single one of you that even gives this comment a passing glance are well, that your family and friends are well, and that your spirits still remain strong in this darkest of times.

This is pure genius. The guy that wrote this lyrics is a goddamn genius.

Really moving. Disturbed help me find The Light. I was in sixth grade, and I was like super depressed because of my cat dying and bullying and social issues and stress and grades. I cried for five days straight, and when I listened to Disturbed, it made it all wash away which I'm SUPER grateful for. I'm doing much better at a new school, with friends, teachers who understand my problems, and medication. This song basically says to me, "Don't give up, it just wants you find it." I want to share that. Please don't give up, you have a lot of life ahead of you! Spend time with your friends! Family! Everyone!

Dave brings so much positivity to the world. I wish my mom and dad understood their messages. They see this as noise. It’s beautiful. Listen to the words. It’s about uplifting your spirits.

Never in a million years would I have ever thought that Disturbed would put out something that really hits home with me the way this song does. Bravo!

this song is like one of the most motivational songs disturbed has ever written.

The timing of when this song came into my life is absolutely mind blowing. I have been debating whether to become an EMT or not for months. 14 DEC 2015 was a night that changed my life. Traumatizing to say the least. I was lying in bed when I heard an accident out front of my house. I got dressed as quickly as possible to go help. What I came upon was heart wrenching. Long story short. A young man hit a woman and her kid head on. The kid didn't make it, we did the best we could to keep him alive to no avail. He died on scene. This moment has made me question if I received EMT training would the outcome be different? Would a young mother still have her young child to love? It ate at my soul to see this I love children, they are the treasure of life. However it has made me decide I will become an EMT and I WILL FOREVER do my best to try to prevent another tragedy like this on my watch. THIS SONG HAS HELPED ME OVERCOME THE TRAUMA AND GRIEF! THANK YOU DISTURBED!!

This song touch my soul....you know how much people out there feel like things will never get better? This is song is perfect for those tryna find that light. WE ARE DISTURBED!

Listening to this for the first time in years after watching the video of that poor girl who lost her friend Mark. Hits just like it used to. Here's to all those we've lost

I'm proud to be a Pre-Service Firefighter, and see your shows live every chance I get. Since my adolescence up until now you have helped me through various emotions, and obstacles in life. To those who feel they're in a dark place, don't go hiding on me now. Just remember that no matter how DARK that place is there is always a LIGHT at the end I assure you. Going forth to save lives.

This song has so much truth in its lines. Since my childhood, which was characterized by violence and abuse, I have been going through a very difficult time. I have suffered so many losses, suffer from depression myself, PTSD and borderline and an emotionally unstable personality disorder. But today, at the age of 34, I have achieved so many things that would have been completely impossible for me back then. I have a permanent job, an apartment, a network of helpers and incredibly great friends who have my back and always help me get back on my feet. In my head I keep going through hell when the inner darkness threatens to engulf me but songs like this make me realize that at the end of the darkness there is light again and I can't give up, it makes me realize how far I've come have already done and that there is still so much strength in me because I still long for stability and a life in which I can smile sincerely and help people who are similar to me. Thank you Disturbed for your many songs that always give me strength in dark times.

I am a 63 year old grandmother of 5, and although I grew up during the best music era ever I was never a metal fan but this song is the best I've heard in years.

One of the best songs Disturbed ever put out even in your darkest moments you can find something good and positive

Disturbed? Badass visuals? Subscribed as fuck.

Most bands get worse over time, but damn, Disturbed has stayed amazing through their whole career.

I consider this song to be in honour of firefighters and other EMS workers, especially injured ones. "Sometimes darkness can show you The Light."

You never feel broken again, somtimes darkness can show you the light. I have no idea if the band members read these comments, but thank you. I have been broken for a long time. Depression has me fighting for my life daily and these words now help make it easier to win.

Glad this video came out. Around this time of year is when I feel depressed and unwanted, this song makes me feel better.

HOLY CRAP. I just realized that I'm only just beginning my own path to recovery from some really rocky high school years some 10 years ago... This song has never felt more relevant.

This song is one of the best symbols of life. Through all this darkness and all this suffering. One day you will see the light and finally be at peace.

There's been some significant dark times over the past few years, where I've had this song on repeat, blasting my eardrums in the car, letting my tears flow. Thank you for this message ❤️

Heard this song for the first time today! 😮 Mind blown! Lost my parents in the space of 15 days apart. Just a little over a month ago. Can't seem to deal with it well. Then to add insult to injury, my only sibling - sis - is bad mouthing me with family members. I was destroyed!! But, I no longer question it all. This song is the epitome of how to live moving forward. I feel as if God has revealed the answer to me... Thank you!

The one song that can calm me down when I'm super depressed... Thanks, Disturbed!

This song has helped me get through something I wish nobody ever had to go through. Every single word struck me. I've never been touched by a song so much.

It's always the darkness that can show us the light. It's the light that blinds us all the time.

I have been going through some serious obstacles for the last year and this song is what keeps me from completely losing it. Thank you Disturbed. You are keeping me going.

still hoping that david draiman does a music video of the sound of silence with him sitting on a wooden stool while the piano and acoustic guitar play the song

Dude, i served in the belgium army, ranks are not importantend, in the Balkan (former ex-yougoslavia) and Kosovo. Since i have become a police-officer in belgium (for about 20 years) , even i had the diagnose of PTSD after many years of struggeling, due to events in the past and the present. We need to live with it !!! I love the song !!!! I wish you all the best John Herbst.

Immortalized has to be one of the two best albums they've ever made along with indestructible.

"Sometimes darkness can show you the light..." I'll always remember that whenever I'll go down rock bottom..

The message of this song can easily talk to everyone who has known the worse... Each word is deep inside me as if it was my own story, as if David would talk to me face to face... it's heartwarming 🤘🏻💜🙏

This is such an underrated song. It only got a few weeks of radio play here.

I’ve had one very heavy past two years. Tragedy after tragedy after disappointment (many times in myself) but so much beyond my control. I’m starting to see the light again but this SONG...it’s become my personal anthem. I can’t listen to it with a dry eye. The essence of the lyrics are chillingly accurate and the timing is no less miraculous in my life. At this time. On this day. It lifts my spirit where I used to be and I don’t intend on going anywhere else but up. Wish I could thank them personally for what they’ve done. I am so blessed to have “stumbled” across it. Nothing is by accident. I was meant to hear it when I did and I am so grateful.

My son and this song saved my life in 2019. Thank you

I relapsed with drugs recently and I felt horrible about it as I was on my way home from where I was doing them, and as I was driving this song came on the radio and it gave me hope to get back on my feet instead of plummeting deeper into drugs out of the guilt that I felt.. Thank God for this song.. I might be using drugs today if this song hadn't come on that night..

I'm openly LGBT, and some people insult and hate me for it. There are very few heavy metal songs that cheer me up whenever I feel down. This is one of them, it's just such an amazing part of Disturbed. Thank you for your amazing voice, Draiman.

seeing them perform this live nearly brought me to tears

My fav on the album is Never Wrong but I'm totally fine with this being a single.

this song has actually forced me to face my ptsd, or at least the thing that caused it. i was at ozzfest this year and watched them play this song live. i will never get that imagine out of my head. seeing so many lighters and phones in the air. i didn't feel alone in that moment and i knew i found home. that people i never knew care more than i know. that i can't give up. maybe that good memory can be something i hold onto in times of darkness. maybe i can hold onto the light.

forgive me ... I feel it again ... the pull to the light ...

I'm working the 12 Steps and have PTSD, and this song feels like a 4th step anthem. It's giving me the courage to face the darkness inside me. I have to break before i can find that light

Lost a husband with suicide after 27 years of being together d/t suicide... lost the absolute love of my life to my 2 husband r/t cancer... absolutely freaking heartbroken.. my 2nd husband showed me what true love was really about.. I miss him dearly.. have PTSD from both... hard to explain..but this son brings things to light, truly.. thank you!!

Such a powerful song.

I heard this for the first time in concert and I cried like a lost child it's so powerful.

This song helped me through 2015-2016. My girlfriend dumped me to be a lesbian, my friends deserted me instead of being there to comfort me, and I also got kicked out of my band. I had a hard time, but this song helped me get through it all.

❤Anyone March 2024? ❤

My boyfriend died this year on March. Was the covid critical month in Brazil, I was supposed to go with him. We we're planning to marry in November. This song was the last one he showed me and atm, is one of my most powerfull help when I cry for him. Thx for the kind words, makes me create the strenght and corage to don't give up.

As a domestic violence survivor from a narcissist, and someone who suffers from NAPTSD, this song is my anthem. I can't begin to decribe how much it resonates with me in the deepest parts of my soul. Thank you!

"Don't let hope become a memory" hit me hard. As I listened I was inspired but not emotional until that line overwhelmed me. The pandemic, health issues, a covid-era divorce after over a decade together, economic frustrations etc. have left me in exactly that state--where hope for a couple years now has just been a memory. My optimism and positive naivety that I always had throughout my life have been crushed. Maybe recognizing this can help start the healing.

Sometimes darkness can show you the LIGHT!!

I’m just gonna listen one more time (3 hours later) “listen to me now (all’s not forsaken!)”

im going thru some dark times right now and this song helps me alot

Years ago the very first concert I went to which was also the very first huge thing I really did together with my other side of the family (my dad and sisters) was going the Disturbed Immortalized concert in Des Moines, Iowa on September 30th 2016. On January 1st 2023 my dad passed away and me and my sisters agreed on using lyrics to this song in the back of the obituary since it was the first real thing we all did together it meant a lot to us and was a fantastic memory so using this meaningful song on top of how meaningful and special going to the concert was together we thought it fit perfect. R.I.P Dad, gone to soon and I miss you so much.

This chorus saved me from depression almost 4 years ago. It felt like my father words teaching me how to perceive where to go when the darkest of times engulf us. Thank you.

This song is such catharsis. In many ways it's been a terrible year for a lot of people, and at their London concert last Sunday the entire room was absolutely taken by this song (and all their others). The contrast of a few thousand people holding up a sea of lights above us and just SCREAMING the lyrics together as one delivered the perfect juxtaposition of harshness and hope. Much like the contrast between the melody of this song vs. the part at 2:47). Disturbed has gotten me through a decade of tough times in all shapes and forms, and I hope they know how much relief their music gives to the audience.

To me, this song is about how people push back hope and God. Trying to hide them somewhere and they hear it call out behind from behind them once as they leave but spite it. But after you reach a certain part of darkness you go running back to the memories and hope you used to have. Sometimes Darkness can show you the light.

Trying to survive the heart surgery I got done with I'm fight for my life I have fluid in my lungs and this song makes me want to fight thank you for helping me fight.... loved u guys as a kid 🥺🤕

this guy´s voice moves like an instrument on each chord, it´s like a velvet sound... impressive

"FOR AZEROTH! FOR THE LIGHT!" ... *swings Ashbringer into Pit Lord's face*

*Don't Let Hope Become A Memory* Damn, that's inspiration fuel.

I just went through the most difficult 3 years of my life and I'm 42. The song is amazing by itself but these lyrics hit something else inside me. I just found the path out of my darkness and you're so right.. "sometimes darkness can show you the light!".

Been a Disturbed fan a long time. Just now found this song. Going through some tough times emotionally. Depression sucks!!! Disturbed always helps!

it sounds like a heavy metal disney song. I approve.

"My Brothers, whatever things in life are pure, just and virtuous, think on these things." ~Philippians 4:8

Darkness is powerful. It's frightening. It sucks the life out of everything and everyone around it. And it's here every day, from the moment you wake to the moment you go to bed, getting in your face and telling you "I own you. I control you, and you will do my bidding, day in and day out, bringing as much pain, sorrow, hate and despair as you can for my sake, and in the end I will claim you, and you will belong to me forever." It is in those moments, however, when the darkness seems strongest and you feel yourself nearing your breaking point, when you will learn your true strength, the strength to rise up and look boldly into the face and the heart of your darkness and say each day, "NO! I will not be your victim today!" The only thing stronger than the darkness is you.

They did it. They made an uplifting, beautiful, meaningful song, that shows how even the smallest glimmer of hope can save you from the darkest times in your life. I love this band

I call this "Feel Good Metal"

i have depression. when i listen to Disturbed's songs, i feel uplifted. Yo! Nothing can kill my vibe!

I grew up listening to disturbed. My older brother and sister got me hooked on you guys with Down With The Sickness, Stricken, and Indestructible. Then I heard what awesome things you guys can do with a cover/rendition like Land of Confusion. Then I got to hear you knock it out of the fucking park with a gorgeous tribute to Sound of Silence. Then I went back and realized that you guys have had chops with slow songs for years with Darkness........and now THIS. This has to be one of, if not my favorite song that you have graced our ears with. Thank you all for coming back, and thank you for making music.

This album and this song in particular helped me get through the roughest year of my life. Thank you for being an inspiration and for sending a message of hope.

Has got be the most hopeful song I've heard in God knows how long...thanks Disturbed.

My dad loves disturbed , and I hear him listening to this song all the time , now I see why.

I really love the talent this band has. Although this isn’t the author’s intent, they portray this truth. Darkness shows us our sin and mistress. The only (eternally enduring) way out is the light of Jesus.

WTF why are people in the comments saying that they took a break from "Fire It Up" to do this song. They came out with a full album back in August. This is just for the KZfaq channel!

It's weird hearing such an uplifting song in a minor key.

Such a wonderful and beautiful way of telling you to do shadow work and to find your inner strength and mental peace by confronting all of your own personal internal and external demons in ones life. FEAR NOT for you are never alone and no matter how lonely or tough the road of life may seem, never forget that you are so much more than what you think and that your own spiritual journey was never meant to be easy or the faint of heart but if you can summon the courage and stay the course and follow through. The magic you'll find within and the person you'll become will be amazing. Never fold or give into the easy path or shortcuts,the shining path of internal and eternal truth can only be walked by those who would dare have the faith and conviction to stay true in all things and at all times.

I heard this song for the first time today and I stopped everything I was doing at work and stood next to the radio because it touched a deep seated pain which i couldn’t articulate until this point

thumbs up if you think disturbed is the best band in the world

698 people are just plain wrong.

Disturbed is my true faith, every single album, every track, they all have their very own energy and subjective content, but the album that's been resonating the greatest to me, is this one.

Not all light sources are good. Sometimes sources of power and strength comes from the dark places in our lives. Remember, before happiness can truly be understood, suffering must be experienced to stand as a contrast so that you know yourself and what truly makes you happy. Embrace what makes you suffer as a part of you and overcome it without losing what it taught you.

after losing my arm and an inch from losing my life after I was hit head on, this song is definitely inspiring

i absolutely love this song. weird how when i first started listening to this i went through some rough shit and now im back on my feet and ill always remember this song because i feel like it helped me in a way. like the song says "sometimes darkness can show you the light" i can live with those words for the rest of my life, so thank you Disturbed. see you in March!

this is my new logic on life: sometimes "darkness can show you the light"

I've heard this song since it has come out. This is the first time i really listened and read the lyrics. This is one of those songs that speaks to us all. There will be times that we are all suffering but eventually by pushing yourself and working through it you will reach the end of whatever personal hell you are going through and will eventually reach the end and prosper. Just know it will get better.
