[HellzYeah666]

is this the same best friend who to him "each day is a gift and not a given right"?

[Mastasn1pa]

@TheDeathwish91296 Read the Bible g

For some help. Give it time though, most people read a verse and then they're done. That's how they fail.

[MsMonia5]

I love Nickelback <3 FOREVER

[TheDeathwish91296]

this song makes me think about myself and my friend whos like my brother, but i wish i wasnt the guy who needs the help because i am, and one day he gave up on me and now will not say a word to me, i wish christian gray would be my brother again

[BLACKassassin41]

[iwiwkiwjoo]

Pulled a knife on someones wife. Who doesnt know a person that has done that? This song is sad but meaningful.

[goldeniphonemm]

[2000darkwolf]

[rahaper]

P E R F E C T

[5165zoom]

EVERY SONG IS FUCKIN' MEANINGFUL! I LOVE NICKELBACK!

[jasminvargas70]

Only nickelback can put other rock songs to shame..... :)

[slushygirl20]

@jasminvargas70 them and the foo fighters :D

[jasminvargas70]

@slushygirl20 Totally :)

[895palkia]

NICKELBACK ROCK!!! that guitar solo was freaky awesome nickelback understand the true meaning of rock

[missadixiechic96]

@epicdude897 i love that movie and thats so true

[WebkinzSister2]

Im upset that frikkin headphones wont go up any louder. :(

[epicdude897]

this is like the outsider where the socs beat johnny up and soda ponyboy and the gang found him in an alley

[sampies12]

this is my most favorite well next monster by skillet but a very close tie

[DorianaGray13]

Srdjane... :(

[TheRagefires]

its kinda funny how this band stopped doing concerts when those like 59 ppl got trampled and then just appear at a football game a couple months ago

[MySam119]

fucking love this song one of nicklebacks best



[DancingSunset15]

Im not overly fond of nickelback thanks to me needing a harder brand of rock but this song really hits deep down. I lost my best friend to meth. The world was too much for him and he intentionaly overdosed with me sleeping in the other room. Miss my Sai but drugs will do that. I kept trying to help him but sometimes people are too far gone.

[shadesofemos]

@ForEverJalex No it's not cuz meth burns your fingers 2 the bone

[01Tira]

Song reminds me of a friend. His prob was meth and heroine. RIP Mike.

[01Tira]

The lyrics are not 'gonna do the trick' but "A gun would do the trick" not 'where ya gone and hid' but "Where ya got it hid" not 'show me what ya really want', but "Show me, what ya really want watching what ya got, slowly circling the drain, throw it all away"

[curtzxz]

its about meth.....

[ForEverJalex]

@curtzxz its about drugs in general...

[futuregohangirl]

this song totally reminds me of my bio family. they are all junkies and they deny they do anything harder than pot when i know they all do at least cocaine and maybe crystal meth

[lillypie384]

i love the guitar solo<33

[123Mythbuster]

it's an anti drug song and the lyrics are good along with guitar solo

[thuglifeforever420]

For anyone who thinks this song is about weed, it says he gave up eating... do you really think a pothead could give up eating? i think not.

[TheNeverRemembered]

Epic Guitar Solo!!!! *air guitar* 2:19 - 2:45

[BoysofRockets]

but i love getting high makes me smile

[breetanner113]

4:41  love that voice...... love the whole song!

[BlueTheArcticFox]

Sounds like he once had a good friend and his friend started getting high on weed and started making all kinds of bad choices and he tried to help him but no matter what he tried to do, his friend just fell all the way down to Rock Bottom and hard. That's what happens you take drugs that are not so good for you. You end up on Rock Bottom and you hit so hard that you can't get back up.

[7shadowslaya]

@BlueTheArcticFox  its about his friend getting addicted to meth

[JohnnyAmerica14]

@BlueTheArcticFox Dude, it's about meth. I'm just saying.

[BlueTheArcticFox]

@JohnnyAmerica14

Okay, I believe you. Still, It's a good song.

[JohnnyAmerica14]

@BlueTheArcticFox It's an absolutely amazing song.

[mandabeyar25]

@BlueTheArcticFox weed doesn't melt your fingers to the bone. crack pipes and meth do that kind of stuff. weed also doesn't make you stay up for days at a time. it makes you sleepy.i've seen it way too many times in my lifetime.

[DancingSunset15]

@mandabeyar25 Resident pothead here to say weed dose nothing that can really kill you. Weed makes people mellow and calm. Anyways if you smoke weed yeah resin can be bad for you but you cant overdose because you're asleep before you can even get to that point. My own doctor said that it helped self medicate ADHD and insomnia as well as anxiety without the harmful affects of psychotrophic drugs that can permanently damage your brain and make you phychotic and catatonic not to mention kill you.

[ImaginarySunsets]

1:40 *[o_o]* \m/

[meiane1]

amo d+

[xcrazykillerx08]

i used to be like this but i learned my ways now i serve a marine in the u.s. navy family ill be home soon i love u all god bless america

[kirara2516]

@xcrazykillerx08 Major kudos to you. Not just because your an awesome Marine but, because you turned your life around. that's something to be respected.

[vividdreamer227]

@xcrazykillerx08 u learned ur ways? as if bein a marine is such a great thing. (jus sayin... im kinda unpatriotic)

[h2kchicagoted]

did anyone come here just to listen to the song and not remember someone?

[jonn701]

i hope it ain't true...

[chuckmenn]

the correct lyrics are "a gun would do the trick" not "gonna do the trick". i have the cd w/ the lyrics and that's what it is.

[horselover1367]

:( this reminds me of my bro.. :( :'(

[TheOlbi123]

song sends a shiver down my spine but i love it

[theychonny]

Fkn best song ever!

[ShadowArchon11]

when i heard this song, i thought of my friend. luckily, he got out of it.

[megs21steelie]

Nickelback is amazing and All their songs are have so much meaning to them ilu nickelback! Pleasee do a concert in london or tronto i want u guys to be the first concert i go to!

[narutosource101]

[CandiKraze]

OH my god, this song makes me cry every time. this is my moms song, she's relapsed into drugs so many times. =w=; sigh... this is such a powerful song it really hits the heart strings ya know?

[SELENALOVEism]

highschool why is it called highschool cuz that's where you get high you wanna get high just like towelie said 

[panchodaman]

I wish they made a video too this song:( Too powerful for pictures I suppose.

[Nightvampirefear]

@panchodaman actually they did but in the end it showed the guy they were singing about killing himself

[panchodaman]

@Nightvampirefear I think we've been enlightened:) Where can I find the vid!

[Nightvampirefear]

@panchodaman it got removed for being too dark BUT it was awesome if you saw it before graphics were amazing

[lillmay2010]

tell me what u know tell me what ur gunna know now

[Bartolo7622]

This is sad because this weekend I seen my Aunt for the first time in a long time and if she doesn't get help she is going to pass because of all the drugs she is doing and drinking she is doing ! ! !

[kittycatkeys]

anybody elesthink song reminds tthem like matt herdy.............except matt got help 7:-)

[itaylordanielle]

This reminds me of a guy I used to call my best friend. Gave up everything just for drugs. It's really sad.

[MrImabigman1]

@psychrocksthe2010 lol yea.

[chrispymuffin]

@ElusiveNight Your fine, no need to apologize, like i said not tryin to be a dick. and I dont think it says officially but it all solos ive heard its like that, and i think your right, drum solos are by themselves, no worries mate, just here to help 8)

[chrispymuffin]

@ElusiveNight Actually a guitar solo is usually accompanied by a repeating drum line. Or thats how it is in most songs, even old ones, not tryin to be a dick, just sayin.

[JewFro113]

i hate when people turn like this...miss you sis

[summer9962]

@JewFro113 WTF do that mean??!!??!!

[lavendettaskarock]

The dislike bar is like a ninja, you know it´s there, but you can not see it.;)

(Sorry about my english:)

[h2kchicagoted]

@lavendettaskarock it must be a terrible ninja cause I can still see it.

[redneckgunshooter]

[liptongirl500]

reminds me of my best friend. v.v

[crzychris96]

@maddmax stop actn like yu gotta vagina let ppl say wat they wnt

[AntoniaJemma369]

@mortelkill tbh they still have some meaning to them x

[Dramaliz99]

The first time I heard this song I thought it said just to get by... lol it makes a lot more sence now!

[MegOriginProductions]

This reminds me of Less Than Zero.

[MaddMax247]

This song has nothing to do with your pussy ass weed so people quit crying like lil cunts for nothing....shit

[MaddMax247]

Pff smoking weed is weak that doesn't really even matter its bout Meth that damn glass dick keep u awake with out eating for days keep twitching and hearing shit but you feel amazing finally king of the world

[poopieflys]

this makes me worry about my family... alot

[h2kchicagoted]

@OMGsquirel26 thats good, but your doing it wrong. it goes "11 people ARE high", not what you said.

[OMGsquirel26]

11 People Arent Highh.

[Evanescence7654]

First song I've ever listened to by nickelback good mean actually

[sherunsrunsruns]

I am now not gonna get high.

[h2kchicagoted]

that is ironic.

[fyrefox1209]

Kinda ironic, Smoking and listening to this song. O:

[h2kchicagoted]

@iheartquidditch i got detention for it. oh well totally worth it :)

[omg13lover]

This song helped me quit.... I lost the love of my life.....and because of this song i was able to give it up for him ......so this is THE greatest song ever writn..

[Msoftball32]

Describes my life.... Ill be there for u forevr tiffy(: love michelle

[Zenocide14]

this song really hits home :\

[mmcdowell15]

i love how i can feel the anger and emotions in this song. very touching.

[darkshadow8800]

This song describes me i tried to help out a friend that was getting drunk what he wanted to be left alone and he said he would do anything to get high and drunk.I dont know if hes dead Ill call him and see if hes ok but please pray for him his name is Isaac I NEED TO HELP HIM!!!. :(

[iheartquidditch]

@darkshadow8800 i'm praying :(

[h2kchicagoted]

A policeman came to my school talking about how drugs are bad, later that day a kid was caught smoking weed. I hijacked the microphone for a few minutes and played this, since then my school has been drug free.

[iheartquidditch]

@h2kchicagoted That's awesome!...not that the kid was smoking, that your school is drug-free because you played this song :)

[TheHiMonster001]

11 people just want to get high...

[TheHiMonster001]

[iheartquidditch]

@badboy11592 Dude, just don't read them. And it makes some people feel better, and some just want to share their story. And, as LilMissMuzzic said, some people find the song moving.

[spiderpignate1]

I love this song maybe because I can relate or maybe because Nickelback is awsome!!! either way love it!!!

[ViperVenomify]

@Burky12793 ... I still want to know about the dudes story.

[Burky12793]

@ViperVenomify its not a book its a song....

[ViperVenomify]

@Burky12793 Well then make them write a book! :) Hehe I just really dont like questions unanswered and Plus i'm not a big fan of NickelBack. But they are still good just not my cup of tea.

[Burky12793]
