Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Nobody knows what I believe Publishers: BIG ANT MUSIC, DRIVEN BY MUSIC, EMI BLACKWOOD MUSIC INC., UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP. And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 One not simply, so absurd There's a piece of a puzzle known as life In a box high up on the shelf Swimming through the ashes of another life Keep your eyes open for a while Staring down the barrel of a 45 And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 What ever happened to the young man's heart Always condemning me Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart You keep these feelings, no one knows Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart Left for you, no one else Staring down the barrel of a 45 Staring down the barrel of a 45 Send a message to the unborn child There is no real reason to accept the way things have changed Swimming through the ashes of another life Send away for a priceless gift In these times of doing what you're told Swimming through the ashes of another life What ever happened to the young man's heart And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45 Staring down the barrel of a 45 No real reason to accept the way things have changed And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life I believe Send away for a perfect world One not subtle, one not on the list Songwriters: Tony Battaglia, Brent Smith Staring down the barrel of a 45, 45 No real reason to accept the way things have changed Everyone's pointing their fingers No real reason to accept the way things have changed
45 is basicly where evrything in this world passes u by, bcuz u given up, but in the end, u see that u r ment to live, a gift that is given 2 u, life

i love this song!!! brent (the lead singer) is brilliant and he is one sexxi son of a gun!!!!!!!!!

Ahh..well this is what Wikipedia says:
"the song is basically about the day that you wake up and you look at yourself in the mirror and you finally decide that you want to try to become comfortable in your own skin, and realize that you’re gonna have to make yourself happy before you’re going to make anyone else happy. And basically, the 45 isn’t an actual literal term for a gun...the .45 is actually the world and what it hands you every day of your life...it’s a gift to be alive to begin with" |

it's either, like verbal said, a cache of drugs, or, what i thought, a suicide note meant to be found many years later, addressed to someone not yet alive, or too young to read/compreh e n d .
or both. seems plausible. i gotta wonder where you two got 'abortion' from? i've not heard of an abortion done with a .45 caliber pistol. |

I don't know why but i love this song and this is not really my style of music but every time i hear it I have to blast it. Went through a tough time a while back and listened to this a little too much but now it just makes me feel good and not sad anymore!!

I agree, this is a great song. It can be depressing if listened to for too long, but in moderation is an excellent song. Save Me by Shinedown is another great song similar to this one.

i normally dont comment, but to me, shinedown is the best, most rocking, and musically capable band to come out this decade. what they do in an era of generic, soulless, uninspired drivel is f*ckin amazing. doesn't hurt that the dude can sing his f*ckin a** off.
