Shinedown - 45

[IWhoCreate]

what album is this from?

[badassassassin1000]

Every time I was over life and just through I would listen to this song and it brought me up.

[YouAreMyElpis]

This is EXACTLY how I feel right now it captures me perfectly...feelings that should've been over along with my teenage life...but nope...the longer i live...the more ive come to realize...reality...all lies

[MsEmobaby12]

it 45 

[TheGothicalix]

I love this song! It makes me sad tho

[JeffHardyRocks3000]

omfg 45 in this video means the world! not .45!

[jloganb577]

Staring down a barrel of a 45... Shit it's empty...

[sataniczombie666]

im staring down the barrel of a 12 gauge feeling pretty good about myself

[requium1]

I'm at an airfield looking down the barrel of a 35 mm. GAU-8 avenger ftw.

[12341298]

The lyerics are good, an basically the whole song is a story <3

[113mkay]

try lookin down the barrel of a 50 cal

[TheMicskittles]

@rez513 I toke an arrow to the knee, and then i TOUR IT OUT AND STABED YOU IN THE FACE, SUCK MY DRAGON BALLZ!!!

[SkyrimGamerGuides]

@rs2006videos do u play runescape? if so add me: Skill t0 Max(note that the 0 is a zero)

Btw i took care of it i marked that comment as a spam

[RS2006Videos]

@rez513 Just shut up, bro. It's not funny anymore.

[TheAlambert1986]

This song means a lot more than bullying and depression. It means everything to some, and I think something to everyone. Good job, Shinedown. Y'all fuckin' rock.

[alexrae23]

this is a good song but sound of madness is the best by shinedown

[th4n4s1s]

my dog was hearing this song before it took a 45 and shoot it self :( .....rip fluffy

[ShinedownFan41]

@th4n4s1s for this song 45 means the world...... not .45

[th4n4s1s]

@ShinedownFan41 I was just being sarcastic ! i m sorry if i am being an ass, but i dont believe half the comments of the people here saying "my relative suicided listening to this song! now its the only thing to remember him/her by" ....I may be an ass, I know! but i just dont believe it and being sarcastic to them

[Gradeget]

Good song

[viiblakeiiv]

my uncle killed him self and this was the last song me and him listend togther... rip robert wel'll always miss you!!!

[gtoti0953]

stay strong koto youll get throu it

[MrPkb98]

this song is soooo amazeing and it is talkin bout things like bullying and how it can make other kids do stuff that they and other people dont want them to do. so everyone else think next time ur making fun of or laughing at other people.

[65icpfan]

great song

[bbalmer1122]

im staring down the barrel of a 44 thank you

[irikuchi1]

[deadparadise365]

y name is jacob myrick and i am gay

[AustinJWood]

9 people stared down the barrel of a .45 and pulled the trigger.

[XxSuB0xX]

@AustinJWood now thats low -_-

[AustinJWood]

@XxSuB0xX Haha it kind of is isn't it. Well if it makes you feel any better I wasn't being serious.

[International350]

Its weird that you think about how old this song is and it still is touching, So many times that i have listen to this!

[TheUnivited09]

my life is built on the actions depicted in this song my life is all about what i can do to make better in the world i live in not bring it down....

[BuffaloWoman62]

It isn't about suicide, it's about thinking about it due to changes in our lives we didn't plan for or expect. Suicide is not the answer. Deal with life, not death. Really

[iHeartYou49]

@BuffaloWoman62 death is the cheap way out (n)

[TheOtherUsername1]

This song sends chills through my entire body. Insane.

[motocrossmark400]

columbine :(

[vampiregirly11]

wow

[maiajaide102]

Oh my word... I haven't heard this song in years... Thank you for putting it up. Talk about nostalgia....

[Roseof557]

i think this song means different things for different people, all in there own situation

[the357goesBANG]

can somebody tell me what this songs about? i thought he fell apart and shot kimself



[YokoTheUltimate]

@the357goesBANG Well.You Sorta Guessed It. A 45 Is A Gun Right, & If He's Staring Down It's Barrel, Then He's Thinking About Shooting Himself In The Eye. So. Yea

[vergilsvamp]

@the357goesBANG Its about suicide

[durgules]

Does anybody els think this is a protest song too?

[kotetsu852]

Its true nobody knows what I believe.

Because its too fucked up to make any sense at all.

[crazzygoat]

i made a very important decision in my life. then i realized no one on youtube cares. good day gentle people

[AshTolivor92]

this song reminds me of my father, age 45 my dad and I started connecting, most of my 18 years I was angry at him.

[Roseof557]

@AshTolivor92 I will probably be mad at my dad my whole life. First he was gone at work in another state, even though my rents were and are together. Then, he only came home because my mom found him cheating and he is an abusive drunk at home which made me cut myself, so yeah, enough reason to be mad at him for my whole life.

[73sickness]

i feel bad but ur the one that started cutting ur self so thats actually u

[emily4013]

This is the first song my dad taught me on the guitar!!

Emily00!

[tammy1472]

This song makes me think of my life and all the shit i went thru. && i love it!!

[benmoser11]

well time for some un originals...

this song is so good, God has it on his iPod..

dear youtube, the second like button is upside down. i'd suggest fixing that please..

this is how babies are made...

enough said :3

[BlazetheWolven]

"STARIN DOWN TEH BARREL! OF A FFOOOORRRTTTYYYY FFIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEE!!!!" Some Times my RolePlaying Character ,"Wulfe Matrax"/"The Wolfen", can relate to this song... lol

[jukunon]

Shinedown is EPIC!!!!!

[SayManWhatsUp]

Does anyone know what year this song was made. Bc i remember listing to this headbanging when i was like 7 or 8. And im 14 now.

[seedl69]

@SayManWhatsUp You were headbanging? To Shinedown, of all things?

[DevilMacouda]

@seedl69 Well give him a break he says he was 7-8 xD

[chukineji619]

ashes: cenizas

[Hammer88cajun]

Everyone's pointing their fingers, always condemning me, nobody knows what I believe. Swimming through the askes of another life.

Staring down the barrel of a .45

[Hammer88cajun]

There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed.

[existingdark]

Dealing with this kind of shit now.... thank god for this song. >.<

[fraco180]

thank God for shinedown. i just came so fucking close to suicide.luckily this song came on. thank God for songs with lyrics like this.

[ThrashTimeDave]

@fraco180 amen brother, this song has kept me sane.

[DdcReiss96]

@fraco180 I was in a similar situation recently, music means a lot to people, lyrics can speak a life.

[bubbasonboy]

@fraco180 It's happened to quite a few people. Glad your still with us, bro.

[kriegsfuhrer1517]

@fraco180 Yeah I'm going through shit right now..this song does help.

[LoveKagome27]

Stacey Cano<3

[MrElgeneralisimo]

This song is deep.

[Diskjocky67]

[mariogirl55]

@Diskjocky67 that is SO not true

[xthegodofallx]

@Diskjocky67 there all good songs

[Musicgirl761]

It's a pitty that Shinedown isn't very famous (at least in Germany they aren't) :(

Their songs are great: great voice(s), great lyrics, great melodies. ♥♥♥

[KwSoulFuck]

.-.'

[kotokoulo]

i made a very important and difficult desicion for my life two days ago..the next day i happened to listen to this song for the first time :) it gave me courage and helped me realise that i made the right decision for me. and i'm sure it's going to help me many times in the future to stay true to myself :)

[kirkleblanc]

@kotokoulo

[nexthayleywilliams]

this song makes sense, even if you aren't suicidal.

[mripeeintheshower]

6 people are staring down the barrel of a .45

[1989stev]

Who are you really? What have you become? What are you becoming? Are you swimming through the ashes of another life or through the life you have chosen, free in will, opened in heart?

Are you drinking from 45-year old barrel liquid or thinking about squeezing the triger of 45' gun pointed at your head? Who are you really?

Man, Women, Children... Think for yourself. Dont go the path, which isnt yours. Unless you want to end up in someone's elses hell.

My regards, lets enjoy what we hear

[Innocantis]

[lubeenz]

[TheDrummer1100]

@fallingsacred im not looking for attention and i do have no life but why the hell would i be obsessed with you? dumbass and whered you get that faggot makes you look like an ignorant child...what are you three?

[TheDrummer1100]

[xXwAtErBeAtLEzXx]

[Bigeastraiders]

THIS SONG GOES HARD!!!!

[ctowning66]

this song really puts you in a thinking kind of mood, i like it!!!!

[TheDrummer1100]

@fallingsacred and i forgot to say your a dumbass to not understand that.

[TheDrummer1100]

@fallingsacred did you go to the everything and anything concert? cause if you did you'd know the meaning. Brent Smith told everyone the meaning of the songs. so BACK OFF BITCH

[andrewboulay2000]

I know this is a methaphor and all, but I wonder how many commit suicide to this song?

[17NJDevilsfan]

this song is fucking amazing!!!!!!!

[17NJDevilsfan]

3 people are high on drugs which is why they clicked the dislike button

[ScarletandBlackJack]

@fallingsacred actually I just went to thier concert and Brent Smith told us what all his songs meant and he told us that 45, meant the world.

[TheDrummer1100]

@ScarletandBlackJack thank you

[thousandand1skeleton]

:'( AND IM STARIN DOWN THE BARREL OF A 45.

[ParaSheld]

this song is talking bout a real man trying to end his life, instead of of some emo fag bitch fucker crying cause he turned 21 and found out dressing in black wearing piercings and tight bitch pants isn't cool anymore so let's just kill ourselfs kind of shit.

[whole27]

@ParaSheld LMAO

[ScreamingStacy869]

@ParaSheld Ooh lawds. I died when i saw that comment. It's so mean, but 'Tight bitch pants' was great. I love you. XD

[TheDrummer1100]

@ParaSheld wrong. 45. is a metaphor for the world. its about a boy that felt lost and didnt realize how many people cared about him.

[100punkprincess]

i love this song so much..n i love his voice he is such a talented guy!!

[lilfreak211]

Learn 2 spell

[thousandand1skeleton]

starin down the BAREL OF A 45 :( reminds me of my friends life

[TheKeshaholic]

this song skyrockets my ocd :)

[KeithWasHere1]

know what a .45 would do to your head? i assume this songs about suicide ,.45 would make clean up a sinch,just use alittle broom and dustpan and perhaps a sponge.the fragments of bone from the skull being evacuated and blown completely apart would most likely have to be dug out of the wall with a pair of pliers,assuming there is a solid backdrop. would be very messy indeed.

[sharker102]

@KeithWasHere1 My friend committed suicide while listening to this song . I still cry about my friend not being around every single day . And maybe I should commit suicide too while listening to this song ?

[KeithWasHere1]

@sharker102 why are you asking me? thats your choice,i would advise against it,but ultimately your going to do whatever you want to do.

[gmanpackerfan]

@sharker102 Nooooooooo. Read the Bible, or the book of your faith. God goes by many names, but He loves nonetheless.

[whole27]

@gmanpackerfan oh brother...religions contradict one another and none of them have any evidence. So although they do give hope if you can get yourself to buy into all the nonsense, it is most likely a false hope.

So don't impose your particular religion/god(jesus) on others...by saying read the bible!

You christians always do that and try to convert everyone on the planet when u have no credibility/no proof for your fictional holy book!

[scrainbow1234]

Awesome song without being pussy emo. Hard thing to do. But they have done it.

[TheDrummer1100]

@scrainbow1234 pussy emo? really? faggot

[shotgunsmith59]

1:43 is where my brother got an i dea for his tattoo

[MrSoccerTanner]

@amiller0615 There a great live band i saw them live last night and he sounded exactly like he does on the radio

[anarchaticjuggalo]

this song reminds me of saw

[crosby3895]

this is a very good song :)

[HighLiteOfTheNight]

Is this song about Kurt Cobain or is it just me?

[SGsroxyersox]

@HighLiteOfTheNight It kinda seems that way, dunnit? :D He was a great musician.

Actually though, the singer talked about the meaning, and the '45' is just a metaphor for life. I don't remember exactly what he said, but the song made a lot of sense after that. Of course, most singers will tell you that you should just decide what a song means to you instead of wondering about what they meant when they wrote it. So, decide your own meaning, and the song becomes that much closer to you. :)

[cddeathmetal]

it may be about suicide but its awsome

[55cringe]

emo much?

[kingkong9076]

@55cringe Don't ever, EVER, fucking say that again.

[narutodylanbearden]

[66Celine]

[RoggahQ]

[amiller0615]

[Sabbath7061]

@amiller0615 man ive seen them live twice they are fucking awesome

[rockylemay]

@amiller0615 Actually i've seen them at bell center on april 9 2010

his voice is just awsome and he is clearly able to reach these notes.

[amiller0615]

@rockylemay idk what his problem was when they were here but a lot of people in Erie pa really lost respect for this studio band. it was almost embarrasing to watch. honestly.

[TheWelfor]

@amiller0615 can just QQ because Shinedown is awesome... rethink your reasoning pls

[27Dannn]

best song i have ever seen live

[urielijahu]

[keithcapuno]

comment

[lacowbomber]

This song isn't about anyone killing themselves. Brent himself said he's talking about looking out of a gun barrel. Like looking what you have ahead of you. The interview is on youtube somewhere

[REDMAN758]

my bestfriend killed him self while listing to this song my only regret i would of answered my phone inside of hearing him say bye on my voicemail

[revisseven]

omg you all are idots this isnt about his brother... this song is about a couple...that got prego... the baby died... *((uborn child))** ... and it split the couple up becuase he couldnt take it he slowly feel apart ... so he is staring downt he barelle of a 45...((i actualy seen shinedown in concert and talked to them in person had back stage passes...i asked them... this si what they told me

[IxHatexYoux666]

@revisseven Lucky..i'd die if i could meet them in person.

[TyskeOrden]

Yeah, yeah... Me and Kirk Hammit went sled riding the other day, he told me that you were full of shit.

[Dominominominick]

This song is pro!

[finalcontactmuaythai]

this song reminds me of my mate aaron maddest cunt out

[argh2121]

isnt barrell supposed to be spelt barrel?

[theonly1whomatters]

Why are we arguing over who died and arguing over the weapon??? We should be rejoicing over the fact that another pussy in the world was weak enough to off his worthless ass!!!!

[xbeast133]

ok why r u argueing about way another human offed themself???

[CrazyBabun]

[volkswlover]

[volkswlover]

[TestECull]

It was a Colt M1911 semiautomatic pistol. Not a revolver.
