Official Video Directed by: Lewis Cater
I can still remember me and Miss November Rain
Beautiful and strange
Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines
Yeah, you were never on time
You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear
Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
How about you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human
Unpack all your baggage
Hide it in the attic, where
You hope it disappears
This all seems so familiar
But it doesn't feel like home
It's just another unknown
You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
Right a wrong, it's all so crystal clear
Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
How about you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human
We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools
We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools
Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
On a ship of fools
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom
Of being human

I love Shinedown because of their honesty of mental issues, stress on life and love for each other and us as their fans. Best rock band out thier as we speak. They are amazing musicians and human beings. We love you, Shinedown. Rock on

This song feels like you could have been written for my little sister , Mandy. She was Born in November with blue eyes deep as the ocean. she was the most awkward person I’ve ever met in social situations but still she tried so hard to make friends. Mandy passed away in 2020 a few months shy of her 21st birthday. She was my best friend and my only sibling. The last concert that we went together was actually aftershock a few years earlier. Shinedown gave the most amazing performance. I have a video of me and her thinking along to Second Chance at that performance. One of my most cherished memory. I already have my tickets for your upcoming show in Sparks Nevada. I only wish that she was here to enjoy it with me.

[@belb1971]

Shinedown puts into words what so many people have felt/are feeling, and it lets us know we're not alone.

[@yonamekel]

And knowing we aren't alone helps tremendously!

[@jenniferthomas8804]

I kind of feel like we're in a massive VR, where there are NPCs. Additionally, kind of like NPC Man with Ryan Reynolds, once you know you're in the game you can play it more effectively. Similarly to the music video, she's reading her own story as it's being written. Now she can take over writing it. The true question is, will you beat the game before the World Server Event is over? How will your book finish. It is up the the writer. Make sure the writer is you.

Thanks for posting that. Sadly I'm one of those tormented souls. And I'm NEVER seen. I float thru my sentence called life and am now 54. Never been a moment of peace. It doesn't matter anymore if I'm seen or not, cuz either way I don't exist. I've been dead for years. But I do hope your words uplift someone else. Before they cross the line I'm at. There's no coming back from this place. Just waiting to take my last breath and hoping I won't live to be a hundred. For those that believe in heaven and hell, I've figured it out. There's only heaven if it truly exists. This life is hell. Endless pain and death is a blessing. When you're finally allowed to check out, your sentence is over. The pain will stop then. It can't be any worse than life on earth. Just saying.

My son at the time was 24 years old and took me in to his home when I was released from nursing home. Cared for me for 3 months! Took me to physical and Pulmonary therapy 5 days a week for a year. I always told him that our dance song for when he found the right woman to marry was gonna be shinedown simple man. Our first shinedown concert that we got to go to after my release from therapy We held on 2 each other and cried our eyes out on simple man.

The imagery of letting the coffee spill due to overflow is so perfect to describe the idea of trauma based paralysis. Life continues when you cannot. Complete dissociation. Its overwhelming in a way most cant ever understand. Tv static in your brain as you are left an overstimulated mess to the point where if someone asks a basic question, not only does it not really register, but it doesnt really matter. Youre left in a nebulous state of beingleft completely floating in your own body as the world goes on. I have never felt so represented by a cup of coffee.

I wasn't wrong. 19 #1 hit later...I heard you sing "Symptom of Being Human" on Bertcast today and showed my wife. She normally makes fun of my musical taste being stuck in the post grunge era and hates on me for liking "dad rock," but this song brought her to tears because it fit our current situation so well. I've seen you guys at at Amalie Arena and two Livestocks. I have an autographed fly from the inside single cd from one of the Livestocks. I bought sound of madness pre-order. You guys helped form my adolescence and now my marriage. Love Shinedown and hope to see you live again soon. 🤘

They have never and will never disappoint. Another strong message from them in the books.

[@susanharris2526]

This song resonates with me on so many levels. In short, it means "This too shall pass".... everything comes in cycles; happiness and sadness. Give yourself time. Love and be loved. Practice gratitude. Don't be scared to ask for help. You are worthy.

@oceanview2965 Should have hit number one so so many times. I guess you're right because the fans are there. I gotta give you that one. I suppose I wish they received more industry credit. I came WAY late to the party, too. I didn't really dive in until 4 years ago, honestly. I've since just been blown away by the power of their music.

No, I'm not crying as I type this and the memories flood back.. 😪 .

BEAUTIFUL! MY MA AND POPS TAUGHT ME HOW MUSIC CAN SAVE YOUR SOUL.💜 I want to acknowledge my Pops. I was 12 when the paternal it walked away. Pops had barely been home after 2 tours in Vietnam. Took me a couple of years to honestly believe a male valued my voice. I was not allowed to speak when it came home. Sad and disgusting except that was my world. In my 60's now, almost lost him to cancer, Vietnam took out the hearing in his left ear, cancer took his right ear. Please, I am not complaining I believe this walk thru he'll is what got us together, otherwise I would not be here. Bless all of you! I wish you all peace, love and happiness.

People will argue they've sold out, that they're not "rock" or hard anymore - which is bullshit. They've found their higher purpose that other bands are too scared or too "tough" to do. They're giving us the music so many people NEED right now. Letting us know we're not alone, that things will get better. Their music speaks to our souls, not just our ears. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Where's the "love this comment" button! When they released the ATTENTION ATTENTION album and promoted it with Devil, the lyrics "It's about to get heavy" definitely meant in terms of the topics covered, which I am SO happy they did! People need to realize music isn't just about the sound, lyrics can be just as (if not more) powerful than the instrumentals themselves. I don't know of any other bands doing what Shinedown does.

[@savvygirl98]

I've listened to this song several times, but this was my first time watching the music video. I cried when people started to acknowledge her and reach out to her. I am someone who lives in my own secluded world, not sharing my thoughts, feelings or anything going on in my life with others, but I still crave the feeling of having someone notice something is up and checking up on me. Nobody ever does, so my mind pushes me further into seclusion. I don't want to burden others with my problems, so I'll continue to fight this battle every day until I find a way to change it.

[@mrossi9797]

Take it day by day. It will get better.😊

[@santacruznp]

Hang in there, you’re brave for writing this and I applaud you! Seclusion is a safe place where we know the variables. We can control the outcome, and manage our feelings in a place we feel safe. Something WILL pull you out of this, trust me it will come.

And the smoke detector never went off even though it was right by the basement door where the fire was downstairs.

Notice I said how HE chose, or had others make the choice for him. All I know is the first time I heard that song, it was like Colt was whispering in my ear. And my soul and my heart were a little bit lighter. Thank you guys, for giving me some peace of mind. I actually sleep some nights, and I also sleep through the night most of the time. Thank you from this mother. And thanks for talking about mental health issues. Doesn't make us feel like dirty family secrets so much.
