Usually, I don't listen to much new stuff because it's all just senseless "OMFG BLING BLING" crap. But I happened to hear this one on the radio, and my brain did somthing that it hasn't done since Load/Reload Metallica - analyzed music and found an underlying message.
Shindown - 45
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty-five,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a forty-five
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty-five,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a forty-five
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe
And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty-five,
Swimming through the ashes of another life
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a forty-five
