My addiction started to come into full swing when this song came out. I remember I had just stolen pain pills from my disabled father. I took all of them and laid on my bed crying. It took me 10 years of rock bottom but I’ve been clean for 6 years this Christmas!❤

It takes shitty lows to show you where you'd rather be in life sometimes. Can relate to you as Ive been addicted since I was 11 years old due to having a traumatic injury to my leg and getting Percocet and having a grandmother who didn't monitor my bottle, and watching my dad do and sell all kinds of drugs growing up. I'm turning 20 this year and since the first time I tried the pills 9 years ago I haven't been able to stop. My DOC was Xanax but I would do anything from whatever pill to ice/white girl or some dog food literally just whatever I could find. I've overdosed 6 times and my life is in pieces rn due to drugs. I've got nowhere near as much clean time as you but am proud to say I've put everything (including the xans which I thought was impossible) down and been sober for 2-3 months. As addicts whether it be in recovery or active addiction we all gotta support each other in hopes to all meet the goal of recovery. So although I don't know you in the slightest, I am proud of you and the accomplishments you've achieved, it takes someone with courage to admit when they've fucked up and recognize that they need help so I 100% commend you on every part of your recovery. Keep thriving

[@brianfranklinlee8490]

I grew up in the 60s and 70s.i suffered wounds when I was in the U.S.Army. But my addiction came way late.The VA cut off my pain meds because the public said they shouldn't give us anything addictive. So some of us were left out in the cold. So I decided to go to the street for heroine. I was on it for a little over 10 years. It became pure he'll. I'm sure you can feel me. But the same people that gave me the pain pills ( of VA) offered me help. They gave me suboxone. And I'm on it to this day. I've been on it for almost 2 years. Anyway if you're feeling blue. Music have saved my life. Listen to Disturb (The Light) Hope you're doing fine now. ❤😮

[@tanyarobinson2098]

When I was deep in my addiction, I’d sit in my car listening to Shinedown’s “Save Me” and sob. I saw no way out. I just celebrated 14 years clean. I come back to listen to this song from time to time just to remind myself of where I came from and just to be grateful. This song did save me in my worst times and I never forget that.

'Shinedown' is a mirror of life in America today. So many of their songs would qualify as 'anthems' to the issues we see around us. An amazing group, and so many feel the group speaks to them through their songs. I certainly do.

[@Foopatriot]

You're so right dude. Shinedown has always never been afraid to speak out to the major issues with their music. That's why they're probably my number one favorite band. They just get it.

It's been 10 years since I lost my son and Shinedown was one of his favorites. I was drawn to them because of him and now they are one of my favorites. This song brings about so many feelings. I wish I could have saved him. He was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul.

He has breakdowns on the daily and I have no clue wtf im even doing. But yeah, I feel like I need to go chase his dad down w/ a twig, & beat his crackhead looking ass w/ it. I at least figured out that much 😁. 😔 hes (the partna) always "restraining"... me & he told me to beat him up to let go of my anger... and 😍/😭 be psycho? Not psycho. Be psycho? Not psycho? 🤯 I still have no clue but I think we're having a break through. I dont really mock his ish in real life. I just secretly think ish like idk.

I was a junkie for around 10 yrs . Started with Vicodin and percs for the first half , than I moved on to the harder pills .. opanas , fentanyl and Subutex , as I fought with trying to get clean i relapsed several times .. I would listen to the song everyday while driving and it would bring tears to run down like crazy because I wanted to be saved so bad . I then finally asked Jesus to help me get away by promising I'd never do them again. July 11th 2022 makes one year I've been clean with absolutely no relapsing , but with a handful of temptations throughout . . I thank the Lord for helping me , myself for being committed, and this song for making me understand I needed help cause I couldn't do it alone .

[@dianeb4840]

Jesus the holy trinity saved me too. I thought I was the only one that experienced this miracle. I was heavily addicted to free base crack cocaine. After deep meditation praying to be healed a wave of radiated heat lasted for I can’t tell you how long (I didn’t open my eyes but kept them shut.

Shinedown is absolutely amazing! 14 years ago I finally succeeded in giving up a massive addiction to snorting heroin, plus occasionally using powder cocaine or crack . This song reminds of how I felt, "Somebody save me, please don't erase me!" I even gave up cigarettes 6 months later. For those out there getting clean, or want to-you can do it!!

[@Guitar-Hero4200]

I've been crying for four hours because I've been clean for 6 or 7 months. Meth and I relapsed. And it's tearing me apart but this song is helping every time I hit reply and sing it louder or switch to the acoustic. I actually was thinking of making the first song my band sings. That way I'll always know why I need to stay sober. So I never end up begging for help bleeding, bruised, battered and torn again.

If you don't believe in yourself just know from somebody who's been in your shoes that I believe in you and know that you are stronger than you believe. Have faith in yourselves because we all know deep down inside we are the only people that we can depend on make sure you can depend on yourself and it will lead to your freedom..this song has been detrimental on getting me through the days that pull my mind back slowly in a direction I don't want to ever go back to and Never will again

+job bridges Thanks for sharing your comments. Hatebreed is actually the name of a band -- a hardcore metal band from CT -- which I'm a huge fan of (and 19 being my lucky #). But some of what you mentioned is in fact true. I deal with a lot of disappointment in my life & my emotions run deep so a lot of times that is where the 'hate' comes from. But I can tell you that I LOVE & have PASSION for many things and people (only a few) far more than I HATE when it comes to LIFE & all it has to offer. There may be lot of tragedy, ugliness & disgust in this world, mainly in humanity, but there's also a lot of beauty, laughter & joy to sometimes balance it out. Guess it all depends on the day and my mood I'm having...which direction I decide to turn to more. Thanks again for sharing.

From the Us and Them album. Nothing but awesome!

[@mrstrange5733]

My cousin was somehow on painkillers and alcohol and took his own life, two days ago. This song was always very powerful as we all have our own struggles and many people have thought of suicide, but wow, this song means a lot more than it did before.

[@sotired7579]

I use to cry. Now I thank God

[@JayPypeVox]

This song is my dedication to the memory of Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. The words seem so appropriate and despite the fact that it's too late to save Chester, may someone else who's struggling with addiction and depression find comfort in this song to keep on living!

[@iamwhoiam7887]

Heroes never die.

Rest in peace Chester. You never will now how much of us you saved. You are loved and greatly missed

Fentanyl heroin addiction 3 years off it dec 24th 🎉 shit took my soul Christmas Eve that year decided enough was enough after I had lost my family and everything I owned roughest 9 days of withdrawals I’ve ever experienced but man was it worth it peace and love to all

[@crod67435]

Ive known this songs lyrics word for word since it came out and i always thought of my dad battling his addiction and finally giving up and found his peace at 45. He became a pastor and he was at so much peace. Now as im writing this im come to the point where im dealing and battling my own addiction and but have come to realization that im done and have reached out. Im a very hard headed ego, driven street guy who has always had tough guy mind but now im in full blown tears cause i know i have become what i always said i would never become. A monster not just to myself but my kids and wife. She is ready to hold my hand into this batttle im going to go to war against. Im a broken man who is ready to pick up the pieces.

[@dannycarter1910]

To anyone listening to this song thats battling addiction, just know your not by yourself. I had a terrible opiate addiction for 10 years and made it through it. It was one of the hardest things ive been thru but damn it was worth it. Just kerp pushing, one day at a time. I found this saying somewhere and its resonated with me every since. "Addiction is giving up everything for one thing" "Recovery is giving up one thing for everything " stay strong everybody!!!

[@xxriotgirlxx]

Still one of my favorite songs and my favorite band. I’ve seen the live 3 times met him twice hugged him once and almost cried. Every song Brent writes is so deep and meaningful. I really feel there’s no other band that has captured every emotion and written it like these songs.

[@evankidd9131]

Never really listened to these words like I have tonight. In a bad spot myself to the point of I don't stop using today I'm not sure if I'll see another day. My life has spiralled and this song just gave me some words of inspiration. Stay true to myself and not worry about the others. Glad I took the time to HEAR these lyrics. I've been doing that a lot more lately. Thanks Em

[@ShaianneWhitlow]

One of the most profound songs in human history. The hardest question- is WHY.

[@Pube83]

Life is the cruelest teacher; first she gives the test, then teaches the lesson. It all goes back to environment and genetics...some of us are f*cked before we're out of the gates.

[@WhiteRussianrock]

"How did I get here? And what went wrong? Couldn't handle forgiveness, now I'm far beyond gone." This song reads like my baby brother's biography/tragedy.

Bullshit great musicians exist as long as humanity and as long as there are people there will be people which produce great songs.

[@jerryoxley1827]

It's been three years since I lost a dear friend to addiction. He wasn't the first but losing him hurt the most. I hear this song and it speaks to me, as I'm sure it does to so many others. It tells a story of pain and suffering. Addiction is a monster. When he died of heart failure at age 36, we all felt an emptiness creep in. I knew when the call came it was about him. And we all remembered the funny, sweet, friendly person that we lost. And we still tell stories about him. He left us much too soon. This song describes so many stories like this. It's iconic and powerful, but tragic. I still tear up when I hear it. I still love it to this day. And I miss my friend dearly. Rest in paradise, Jarrod. We think of you every single day. I hope you've found your peace.

[@thepiggygun3388]

Interesting fact: Brent wrote "Save Me" when he was 16.

[@ethanslemp8919]

Really

[@beachbearenthusiast]

That doesn't surprise me if he really did. He's an amazingly talented guy ❤️

[@diaconus]

April 1 2016, i flushed away all my drugs, I lost 9 years hooked on oxy and fentanyl, take the pain not the drugs, i lost everything in those 9 years, starting over now.

[@josephpantelidis4626]

Diaconus Good luck my friend!

[@patriciamyers4509]

the one that had dip and Danzin...mother

[@cadavher]

Diaconus wow. I just quit taking oxy and fent patches on October 24 after my body became addicted after a motorcycle accident. I ripped the patch off and stopped taking the oxy and went through hell for a solid month, the mind clarity that I have now makes me extreemly sad for the past yrs I've been trapped. I wish you nothing but the best and yes, the pain is horrible I know, but not worth that pharmaceutical legal heroin! never thought I'd find a comment like this on one of the songs from my teenage years. Congrats and may the peices fall into place!

[@kalikoveena5206]

Good luck! Hope your better now

[@krfmua]

Diaconus wow that's such a big step! Good job! I bet these next 9 years will be so much better, as you learn to cope and heal.

As a recovering pill head, I approve of this song and its message! :)

[@carolynvargas9286]

I've been clean from pills for 2 weeks now!! I feel like a new person...I used to be on opiates very heavily for years!!! it took me losing my children and countless jail trips to finally take this step into sobriety at this sober living home!! I feel amazing sober!!!

What a song! What vocals!

[@trishrenee9265]

He was 2 years clean...relapsed and over dosed. I miss you every single day my love, he loved this song. I wish you could have been saved. Such a beautiful soul lost and I couldn't be more broken.

[@NazoKG]

I'm so sorry to hear that.

[@jasonsalistean9192]

Very sorry to hear that, I have a feeling it’ll happen one day to my girl of 5 years. I’m staying sober she is too off the dope but keeps relapsing on other shit idk how much longer I can do this.

My buddy Troy passed away about 7 years ago and we used to rock out to this album and this song not knowing it's the way we would lose him. RIP Troy Boy

[@amandalorenzetti-antolini1550]

Been sober for 11 months and I still feel hopeless and my life is absolute shit. 15 years of drug addiction has damaged everything beyond repair..Getting sober doesn't guarantee a happy ending...I wish I never took that first hit.

[@assa-tq5yy]

It would most likely be so much worse if you were not sober. Give yourself props for being sober buddy.

[@christihuff-clements6896]

IT ABSOLUTELY WILL GET BETTER!! YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE AT A RENEWED LIFE FULL OF ALL YOU NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE AS LONG AS YOU STAY SOBER. THE MOMENT YOU GO BACK THAT DOOR CLOSES AGAIN. ITS ONLY GOING TO OPEN FOR YOU SO MANY TIMES BEFORE IT IS SHUT AND DEAD BOLTED. GET OUT OF YOURSELF AND WHEN THIS QUARANTINE ENDS DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOUR WELL BEING...GO ENROLL IN SOME CLASS ...ONLY ONE. START THERE AND SEE HOW GOOD YOU FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF AND ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING. THEN ENROLL IN ANOTHER AND SO ON. YOULL BE SURPRISED HOW FAR YOULL GO JUST BY DOING THAT.

This track makes me emotional, and I know why…but also can’t believe after all these years it still hits me in my core. I got sober from opiates back in 2006 and this song always tapped into that place. Hearing him sing and belt out that last bit rips right through me. 2:21 Consider me…saved 🥹🖤

[@deesch580]

"Save Me" I got a candle And I've got a spoon I live in a hallway with no doors And no rooms Under a windowsill They all were found A touch of concrete within the doorway Without a sound Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland How did I get here And what went wrong Couldn't handle forgiveness Now I'm far beyond gone I can hardly remember The look of my own eyes How can I love this a life so dishonest It made me compromise Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland Jump in the water Jump in with me Jump on the altar Lay down with me The hardest question to answer Is why Why Someone save me if you will And take away all these pills And please just save me if you can From my blasphemy in my wasteland Someone save me Someone save me Somebody save me Somebody save me Please don't erase me

It's never too late to save yourself. If you want to get better, you need to do it for yourself. And if you can do it, keep trying it little by little. We are all here for you. My mom has now been sober 4 years off of pain pills. She ruined things between all of us but now things are a hundred times better and she chose to make it so when she realized it herself. It took 10 years but she did it on her own and I couldn't be prouder of her. I am proud of you all. Keep up the hard work.
