Skillet - Sick of It Lyrics
Lyrics
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!!!
When everything you do
Don't seem to matter.
Your try but it's no use
Your world is getting blacker
When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
His own reminder.
No one can make this better
Take control it's now or never!!!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands - get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance...
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you're sick of it!
If You're Sick of it!!
If you're sick of it!
Every single day
I chase my own tail
Like the rat inside a maze
Has gotta get, gotta get, get away
I'm running out of time
For me to break this
I'm tired to feeling like
I never gonna make this
No one can make this better
Take control it's now or never!!!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands - get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance...
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick of
If you're sick of
If you're sick of it!
If you're Sick of it!!
If you' re sick of it!
I'm tired of it
I'm over it
I'm bored of it
Gonna face this
I'M SICK OF IT!!!
Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Raise your hands
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Sick of it!
Raise your hands - get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance...
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Get rid of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
Are you sick of it?
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it
If you're sick of it
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it

Meaning & Inspiration
Skillet's "Sick of It," released on June 7, 2013, plunges into the deep well of human weariness with societal corruption and personal struggle, offering a powerful anthem of defiance and hope rooted in a profound spiritual understanding. This isn't just a song about being fed up; it's a raw, unvarnished cry against the pervasive darkness that can grip our world and our hearts, a feeling that resonates deeply with anyone who has wrestled with the brokenness around them. The driving force behind this track is a profound sense of disillusionment with superficiality and the hollow promises of a world that often prioritizes fleeting trends over enduring truth. It speaks to the fatigue of witnessing injustice, the sting of betrayal, and the persistent temptation to succumb to despair.
The lyrical narrative powerfully articulates a commitment to stand firm against these pressures, a resolve that finds its echo in the biblical call to spiritual warfare and unwavering faith. The song’s message of being "sick of it" can be interpreted as a courageous declaration of choosing a different path, one that aligns with higher principles. This mirrors the Apostle Paul’s exhortation in Ephesians 6:10-11, urging believers to "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil." The song’s defiant spirit is a testament to the strength that comes from refusing to be molded by a fallen world, a concept directly addressed in Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Skillet's passionate delivery amplifies this message, projecting an internal struggle that ultimately leads to a declaration of renewed purpose, much like the prophet Jeremiah’s struggle with delivering God’s word in Jeremiah 20:9, where he states, "But if I say, 'I will not mention him or speak in his name again,' there is in my heart a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary of holding it in, and I cannot."
"Sick of It" is an incitement to reject the mundane and embrace a life of purposeful action and spiritual integrity. It's an encouragement to find strength not in resignation, but in a reawakened commitment to what is good and true, even when surrounded by what feels overwhelmingly wrong. This resonates with the biblical encouragement to be a beacon of light in the darkness, as Jesus himself said in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." The song's power lies in its ability to galvanize listeners toward a more meaningful engagement with their faith and their impact on the world, urging them to rise above apathy and embrace a resilient, Christ-centered perspective, transforming weariness into a catalyst for faithful action.
