this is the drift I get from this song "what ever happened to the young mans heart" "Im staring down the barrel of a .45" well some asshole gangster with no morals is pointing a gun at him and the rest is for you to wonder lol

I really think it's about contemplating suicide. "And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, Swimming through the ashes of another life No real reason to accept the way things have changed Staring down the barrel of a 45 ... What ever happened to the young man's heart Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart ... Everyone's pointing their fingers Always condemning me And nobody knows what I believe I believe"

I believe the song is about Abortion from the perspective of the man. He wants to keep the kid, and the girl doesn't.

Okay. I'm a huge shinedown fan and I've seen them in concert a couple of times and brent smith has stated that it is not about suicide or abortion. This song has such a deeper meaning. It's basically about how hard life is, and trying to understand who you are as a person. 45 stands for the world, and how at times it can feel like a gun. It's about being comfortable with yourself, which is one of the hardest things to do. "nobody knows what I believe." more is in the next comment

it's about a realization that life can get really hard because of what the day hands you, but you can get through it. Individuality is really important even though sometimes it may not seem like it. This is an amazing song and shinedown is an amazing band. 45 isn't about suicide, it's about sadness dying, and that same person fully awakening to life.

Shinedown is amazing. They just continue to amaze me with all of their song. There is only one song I do not like of theres. I don't like "Save Me", it's about doing drugs. HUGS NOT DRUGS!!
So I hear this ...( 2 weeks ago by CoolRockChickJade)
So I hear this video was banned on Mtv...is this true? Why was it banned? Was it cuz it's lyrical content? The video isn't that bad that I think it should be banned. It's a really powerful video n song. Is it cuz some ppl think its about abortion or suicide? Even though we know and band has said it's not.

they banned it ...( 2 weeks ago by aliceinchainsburns08)
they banned it because of the lyrics in the chorus. "I'm starin down the barrel of a 45" mtv took it meaning a gun. but shinedown had a problem with them wanting them to change the lyric, stating that they allow videos with guns in them, citing Jay-Z's "99 problems" video as a source, because in his video it shows him being shot.
