When i saw Shinedown in concert, he said at the beginning of the song "no matter what anyone tells you, this song is about hope". and halfway into the song during a guitar solo he said "in a time in your life when everything was wrong and nothing seemed to get worse, i can tell you now that your life is worth more."
so i think the song is about how he was depressed and had a gun in his hand ready to shoot himself but he decided not to kill himself.
