– the song is basically about looking at yourself in the mirror , and realize that you’re gonna have to make yourself happy the 45 isn’t an actual literal term for a gun, I used it as a metaphor for the world, the .45 is actually the world and what it hands you every day of your life. comment postedby a bigfan these are brents own words
staring down the barrle is a metaphor u morron....u don't get what the song is about. It's talking about how hard life is. He's says "what ever happened to the young mans heart?" it means thats life is so bad that it feels like he's staring down the barrel of a .45...it's not talking about suicide, it's talking about how hard life is. u're just too stubborn to realize that, i know what it's like to almost take my life, and i can tell u that thats not what this song is about.
@reaper15c all songs are up for how the hearer interprets it. But he is def talking about shooting himself in the head. you dont get much more plain and simpler than a .45
It is a metaphor!!! his life of drugs and tuff struggles in life he either has to clean his act up or he will end up dead. his daily duties with drugs was like staring down the barrel of a gun
there is no way in hell this is talking about suicide, its kinda talking about growing up a bit and some problems in life, that doesn't even relate to suicide
okay here is What the song Stands for It's basically about how hard life is, and trying to understand who you are as a person. 45 stands for the world, and how at times it can feel like a gun. It's about being comfortable with yourself, which is one of the hardest things to do. "nobody knows what I believe."
lolPLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
*sighs* My husband committed suicide with his father's .45. I was refused details for the most part. A blessing, I assume. I was told he put the gun in his mouth, and pulled the trigger. (Sexual abuse for a minimum of 15 years by both parents. He was 23 when he left this world and me last September.) This video is hard enough to watch. Suicide is never something to joke about. I wish people would get that.
I really liked the video... But jus one thing I wanna say, try moving around a bit... Leave the room and record in another, go outside and record maybe, the setting gets kind of dull and boring after awhile, y'know? Jus had to put it our there. And also, try not to look at the camera... Good video 4/5 ;)
okay this sucked like majorly sucked i acully just made an account just so i could tell you how much you sucked and you sucked, pshh i could make a better music video for westside story with a lamp and a shoe then you did with this thats how bad you sucked the only real good thing about this video was wen you shot yourself cause it stoped your crappy acting skills for the rest of the video let alone the "awsome" special effects of ketchup on your forhead...so um yea you sucked...
Damn i thought i was going to see some action but pussy d out like always... should have just killed urself dude cuz this vid blows bigger balls than ur mom
@a1cmartin08 Isnt this song talking about how he murdered someone else? He is staring down the barrel of a 45 swimmign throught the ashes of another life. Doesnt that mean he is still pointing the gun down at a dead mans body? The guy he just shot? He said he is swimming in the ashes of ANOTHER LIFE. Not his own life. Please correct me if Im wrong. Thanks
@clayton1979 the ashes he is swimming in is his own, kinda. its the life he had before it was burnt to ash and he is between the life of ash, and the barrel.
you don't stair down a barrel of a gun when ur committing suicide. this is a bad interpretation of the song. its definitely about excepting a hard life.
you saw my video and emailed me and asked for a review so here I am.you needed more shots within the first minute I saw the entire video minus the blood, don't caption the video you can leave some things to the viewer to figure out. Cut to the photo/paper. This would have speed things up. Overall decent work, it just needed some movement and the gun to the head was a bit much.I may seem a little harsh but I'm tough on my work too. Keep doing what you enjoy doing. Thanks for watching mine
I'm not a big fan of shine down, but good job V-dawg with the video editing, and a suicidal enterpretation jumps right into the ears of most people that hear this wretched song.
the song is NOT about suicide. The 45 mentioned in the song is a reference to the world brent means u have the world in your hand and u have to take the oppurtunity to do your dreams with it
Well it talks about life troubles and how no one knows his beliefs also changes in life and pain. one of the lines being staring down the barrel of a 45 as you know. In a nut shell is screams suicide to me but thats just my interpretation of it thats for the watching,commenting, and rating.
and there r MANY interps 2 this song .. some say hes going away from what he wanted 2 .. like hes holding on beacuse of his son .. hence why in a box blah blah blah..
i think its he going 2 "stare down the barrel of a 45" ..
but yeah "send a message 2 the unborn child" 2 me means .. he wont b there 2 tell him / her lol
well man u need some help 2 even point that at u i will also add u need 2 get some help .. nothing wrong with it. OutOf Words
