Shinedown – Save me

• +1
  General Comment:I took a friend to the 3 doors down concert and Shinedown and alterbridge(new phoenix from the ashes of creed) and I was really blown away by both all of the performances. This song was awesome, and he said at the concert that it wasn't just about drugs, but needing to be saved in general. That when he wrote it, he was out a point in his life where he felt like he was helpless... Awesome song live.

  General Comment:I think this line:
  I live in a hallway with no doors
  And no rooms
  is alot less metaphorical then your speculating... I think the guy lives in an alley.

  General Comment:This is definently a song about drugs. "I got a candle and I got a spoon." He's talking about heroine! It's all about the way drugs trap you and how it often seems there is no escape

  General Comment:I really can't waite for the new album! These guys are awesome.
  
  As for the song, I heard an interview with them on Sirius radio, and it is not exclusively about drugs, more so needing to be saved.

    heroine addicts use a flame and a spoon to heat up their shit. a hallway with no doors and no rooms is a seringe. i'm not sure about the windowseall part. i used the window seal to sit all my shit on when i was getting it all ready because it had good light and a good flat spot to put my stuff....and if you o.d. then thats where you would be found?? not sure about that.... but a touch of concrete within the doorway without a sound is heroin(cause its hard and grey like concrete) and the doorway is the place you shoot up and it makes no sound to shoot up........ could be totally off, but thats how i take it, and i am a recovering heroin addict, so maybe i just hear what i want... who knows

    poolshark, I think you are right on on it I am the same way, but could also be talking bout oxy cas he talks bout pills, when I couldn't get black tar I would shoot oxy I crushed on windowseal so I could see if anyone was coming and they couldn't see me, I am a recovering addict as well, but I can't see any other meaning to this song.

  General Comment:its a real good song ,sounds great.
  YES!! it is obv about drug addiction and the kind of wasted life people spend due to it and how it eventually leads to the ultimate downfall .....
  
  its a pretty easy song to comprehend , nothing great or deep , quite stupid actually . But the song sounds really nice .
