Brent Smith, the singer and main song writer has said that this song is misunderstood a lot, here’s what he said about it Brent Smith (the lead singer and songwriter) has stated in an interview: The inspiration from the song really came from - I think a lot of people kinda take a literal sense because of the lyrics - but 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, 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. When you get up, it’s a gift to be alive to begin with. A lot of different people, when I’ve talked about it, they said, “Do you really honestly mean that?” And I’m like, “Well, yeah.” Because I’ve been in that situation where I didn’t know if I wanted to continue going on and I didn’t know how to necessarily make myself comfortable with who I was, trying to find a way of learning more about myself. And you come from a dark place sometimes, and that’s really the reality of the song. It’s about overcoming and about moving forward. And it’s basically about understanding that it’s not always going to be good, but you really have no one to blame for yourself if you don’t move forward. That’s where the whole, “Nobody knows what I believe,” [comes from] because we’re all individuals. So that’s really where it comes from, it’s about moving on, really.

i mean yea, of course you can make a special "meaning" behind a song about suicide, or shooting yourself. Its just too simple to be something as deep as they say it was. He definitely wrote it as a song about literally shooting yourself. Surely it got some backlash, and thats why hes saying "no no no, its figurative, i assure you!". shinedown is my favorite band, but you cant really hide from the meaning of this song. the story he told was LITERALLY about someone attempting to shoot themselves

@@obnxsdonky9394 You my good sir are an idiot lol

[@gustavoruvalcaba89]

@@obnxsdonky9394 yeah, cause you know exactly how Brent thinks and read his mind LMAO

[@engelby4075]

Shinedown Did A Re-Make Of "Simple Man" By Lynyrd Skynyrd & They Did A Really Good Job With It.

[@jimmyharris4340]

One of the best rock remakes I’ve ever heard!!

[@Alacarte0421]

Their version of Simple man is straight Fire!

[@matthewhale9831]

Absolutely, but i think Puddle Of Mudd’s cover of “About A Girl” by Nirvana is better

[@dontbeacasualtycutthecord7173]

"Send a message to the unborn child keep your eyes open for a while There's 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" An unborn child doesn't mean that they DIED. It simply means that they haven't been born yet.

[@NCRaiderOG12]

This is a good version but the acoustic version is priceless. Simple Man acoustic is killer as well. Brent Smith has an incredible voice.

[@digitalkloudz7215]

I can tell you would like most of they're music. Sound of madness is my favorite album.

[@devinpyrchalla3400]

Halfway through the video you were talking about the lyrics take a look at their acoustic set live in Kansas City here on KZbin he explains the story behind it it's a really deep story he says it's about a friends cousin or something like that but alot of people speculate it's actually about himself

[@devinpyrchalla3400]

Also I think that acoustic set sounds way better than any of their studio stuff just in my own opinion and was super cool how he explained as many of the stories of the songs like he did

[@daphned.7489]

Good reaction. You have barely scratched the surface of Shinedown's greatness....I encourage you to dive further into the rabbit hole, its worth it. Brent (singer) is an amazing singer/songwriter. Another band with great lyrics is Falling in Reverse. Check out Popular Monster. Have not seen a bad reaction to this song yet. Video is sic too.

[@lisarushin8262]

45 is a metaphor for life it's about a relationship break up and the girl was pregnant but the relationship still ended

[@michellelafaille1678]

No the song is about hope look up the meaning

[@sheilawilley4051]

Watch the video of this live from Kansas and he explains the whole song and it is beautiful. Every lyric Brent Smith writes has a meaning and they are all great. This song is about a guy that seems so happy go lucky but is actually very depressed and attempts to shoot himself and is angry he even failed at that. But once his family and friends understand he hides his pain and lack of self esteem with jokes they help him and he turns out to have a great life. Listen to Brent explain it and you will want to listen to it forever.

[@Terri6868]

You got that’s exactly what Brent said about the first part of the song.

[@mariawinzler]

Great in concert!!!

[@alanbarger7712]

That's funny Shinedown from Jacksonville Florida

[@evhleppard]

I agree completely with you on his voice, big voice.

[@kateandgeraldsmith2711]

Shinedown is an awesome band! You've gotta check out my 2 favorites by them. Save Me and I Dare You.

If you want more of an understanding of the check out the acoustic version from a show they did in Kansas

[@wojerwabbit]

Fell into the reaction rabbit hole, landed here and im leaving this comment to ask about your whereabouts, brother! I trust you're keeping well 🤘♥️

[@jennifercrawford1870]

If you watch a live version of this he explains the lyrics and the background of the song

[@calipop_9253]

One of the best voices in rock in my opinion.

[@vaevictus4637]

Definitely one of the best Shinedown songs. Good choice man!

[@Holestic_Honesty]

He is a baritone hence the big voice.

[@jamesmcqueen4672]

There is a live video where he explains the reasoning behind the song if you want to check it out.

[@streetracer1086]

check out sound of madness and simple man from them thanks

[@davidmault2629]

Shinedown started work on there next album

[@steveriley7796]

There is a live version where he explains the story before he sings it

[@A7Xbrandon]

For newer Shinedown songs off of the attention attention album I'd recommend monsters or get up are very good.

[@daphned.7489]

Also good on the album is Black Sou and Devil. From other Albums: Enemies, Save me, Dare You, Sound of Madness.

[@leesam9287]

Take away your boots your bike and all your boys behind your back and then you will realize what the song is actually about

[@michellelafaille1678]

Look up the meaning of the song

[@deminybs]
