45 lyrics

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle,
One not on the list

Send away for a perfect world
One not simply
So absurd

In these times of doing what you're told,
Keep these feelings
No one knows

Whatever happened
To the young man's heart?
Swallowed by pain,
As he slowly fell apart...

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
[Forty-five]
Swimming thru the ashes of another life,
[Another life]
No real reason to accept the way
Things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45...

Send a message to the unborn child,
Keep your eyes open for a while.

In 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.

Whatever happened
To the young man's heart?
Swallowed by pain,
As he slowly fell apart!

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
[Forty-five]
Swimming thru the ashes of another life
[Another life]
No real reason to accept the way things have changed,
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Everyone's pointing their fingers,
Always condemning me!
Nobody knows what I believe,
I believe...

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
[Forty five]
Swimming thru the ashes of another life,
[Another life]
No real reason to accept the way things have changed,
Staring down the barrel of a 45...

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
[Ooooohhh...]
And I'm swimming thru the ashes of another life,
[Ooooohhh...]
There is no real reason to accept the way
Things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45...

45[x2]
Starin down the barrel of a 45...

[Panting]

i was reading and interview with brent smith (lead singer), and he said it wasnt literally a gun, but a metaphor saying a man takes a good hard look at his life and has deciding that his life needs to change. im guessing the 45 means he is starting his life anew

this dude is totally depressed with the way life is and how his life is
he doesnt think he can go on feeling this way
and the only way he thinks he can stop feeling this way is to shoot himself
very morbid
but some people think this way and he's just sooo dissapointed and for him nothing going to change so he should just leave this life so he wont have to deal with pain, or dissapointment, or sorrow, or anything else

The lyrics tell a story of his disappointment in the changes the world has taken over time. When he says
"Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle,
One not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply
So absurd"
He's saying that to make him happy the world has to change. He's upset that the world is so messed up in this age, and most likely he doesn't feel that his beliefs and ideas fit in to how today's society works ("Everyone's pointing their fingers, Always condemning me! Nobody knows what I believe, I believe...").
Now he feels that the only escpae from this hell of a world is suicide, hence the "staring down the barrel of a 45" lyric. The ending of the sone leaves us with an image of him with a gun against his head getting ready to take his last breath.

This song to me is about realizing that you need to make some changes in a ones life. So the 45 is the person getting rid of the things he needs to change.
