Everyone is awkward and weird We're all just passin through Passengers on a ship of fools The invation to the lunatics ball for me is being the person you truly are That's Freedom like freedom is being the weird person who we actually are
My husband passed away Jan 22, 2024 and he loved most of the music in my playlist but he absolutely loved Shinedown and so every time I heard a Shinedown song it reminds me of him and I don't know if I want to cry or smile so I do both. Thank you for being there for us.
My mom just passed on April 1st. We shared a love for almost all music but we truelly loved shinedown. We would workout to it. Crank it up in the car. A few months before she died We were on our way to a Dr. App and I was playing them. She said I raised you right boy. She would have loved this album so much. Miss her so much. Thanks guys. I'll love it for both of us.
I feel this way too much man. I lost mine 3 years ago and If it’s any consolation, it makes you immensely stronger. That’s all she wants for you and Shinedown may be one of the finest examples of a band that makes you that way. I’m so sorry for your loss but know she’ll always be there. Much love
"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." Touched my soul a bit to much with that one.
Today I went to work like a normal day with special needs students age 14-21; I had a 16 year old who listens to music with me while we work and he knew every word to this song… my heart melted knowing his struggles and how much this song reminds me of somebody in my life who I have to keep at arms length. Shinedown does this constantly… brings people together. Thank you
This song feels like it was written for me....it enlightens us, that we are all in the same boat, we're all in this together whether we realise it or not.....again, touches deeply in the soul....and Brent's voice, perfection.
My son is a recovering meth addict. We went through hell and back. We both love Shinedown. This album just like all the rest speaks to me and to him as well. He’s been in recovery for 6 years. He’s married has children and is doing well. You can do it! If you are an addict you are loved and prayed for I know this because I pray daily for you and your family. Especially your momma’s. If you need it get help, do the hard work! You are worth it!! You are needed!
Recovering addict here. Been clean from meth for 8 years. Along with my wife. We have a beautiful 5 year old and bought a house a couple of years ago! It is possible, and so worth the trouble. I wouldn't change a thing if I could do it all over again. Well, I wish I hadn't put my momma through hell. But the bumps in the road made me who I am today. Congratulations to your son. I know how hard it was/is.
The first time I heard this, I bawled... and then hit replay about 10 times. This whole album is so relatable. Shinedown knocks it out of the park yet again on an album that hits where people can feel it!!
@@StromquistOutdoors it’s all just a symptom of being human, lovely. Everyone cries, and this whole thing about men not being able to is soo harmful psychologically. You’re perfect ❤️
Their music has always made me feel understood. And this one is no exception. It gives me a sense of solace and makes me somehow be okay with being as odd and broken as I am. I hope it does the same for everyone else who hears it
No matter if you've lost someone, you're a mom, dad, someone's brother or sister, listen to the melody of the guitar and his tone of voice. If you have any kind of heart and think about everything in your life, you will get wet eyes. Music is the only thing that can bring a grown man to tears lol.
I have listened to Shinedown since day 1 and it just blows my mind how year after year they make incredible music. Even after their genre has gone through transitions.
Brother same. Stuck with them since their first singles 45, Save Me, and I Dare You. Since 2003 they have never failed to move me with their music and here they are almost 20 years later doing it right. One of my top 3 rock bands of all time. Others should take a lesson. THIS is how it's done.
i remembering what the song "45" actually meant after listening to it for so long... i still cry to that song. dysfuctional you and daylight.... this band is amazing!
This was the song that was playing as we pulled into the parking lot. We both had to just stop and let it finish before we got out of the car. This album is incredible.
THIS ALL SEEMS SO FAMILIAR BUT IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE HOME. ITS JUST ANOTHER UNKNOWN. Those lines. Chills. Also when the strings come in and how they are slightly behind the beat. Makes for a drawn out somber symphonic moment. THANKS FOR THAT
You may not know it, but somehow you've written the perfect anthem to describe my experience of being autistic before I got diagnosed last year at 28. This album really is rad. Can't wait to see what y'all do next time, but until then I'm more than pleased to binge this album forever.
Have been most of my life. It's so true. Perfectly explains the feeling I had before I accepted myself of not really belonging despite doing everything you can to try to fit in and be "normal."
I have experience in "behavioral Health care" as an RN. started reading the Bible and different versions for the past 3+ years. I lost faith in pills and hospitals and the 'system' which created 'forced' or 'involuntary' hospitalizations. I still screw up and a 'sinner' per the world view, but Everyday I try to read Scripture and listen to rock/metal songs like this one. there are so many rock bands today that inspire through the lyrics or words inspired faithfully with Gods Spirit freely working small miracles daily. The path to truth and healing is not found written on a prescription pad, restraints, injections given under corporate for profit health care systems.
Leave it to shinedown to push out another song that steps right into that quiet box where you keep your soul. Always singing and telling you that life is far from perfect and thats okay. Just keep on marching on. This and atlas falls are my favorites.
My babe had me listen to this song this week and we’re apart now I’m so sad I miss him like crazy and I’m lost without him so I listen to it just to feel him here with me. He’s in another state.
It's a perfect song to realize that we all have fuck ups but it's just a symptom of being human and we have to keep moving forward and keep believing that no matter what we can always change for the better. This song helps me so much realize that. Thank you so much Shinedown. For all of the songs you have written. All beautiful. And all unique. Ty so much.
Heard this today for the first time while at the gym and as a 54 year old man it moved me to tears. As someone who’s always struggled to like myself and “fit in” every word was a gut punch.
Wow, this feels like the relationship between my boyfriend and I. I'm the awkward woman and weirdo in groups. I never fit in with large groups, never been socially accepted, and dismissed by society. All I've ever done is carry my baggage with me...with everything on fire around me. Then I found someone who understood that. All he's done is support me mentally when nobody else did. He has the same issues that I do. I'm forever grateful that he brought this band back to me. I love him more than anyone else I've ever met. It’s hard when you work helping the less fortunate, but your co-workers don’t accept you for who you are- the determined one with lots of questions
Remember, they have some, same, similar or different issues as well..hang mg in there lady...You Are Worth It..thanks for helping those less fortunate.❤
We buried my uncle on Barkley lake yesterday. He wanted his ashes spread in the water. The whole family cracked a Budweiser and played this song as the boys laid there father to rest. RIP UCLE GENE YOU ARE MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD YOU ARE MY NOVEMBER RAIN THIS TIME IS SO STRANGE I LOVE YOU IM SO SORRY
This song is me. I struggle with anxiety and depression and sometimes feel different to everyone else. But this song just makes me realise its not just me.
I found Shinedown a few weeks ago with Black Soul in my mums car. Now this is my favourite band. Call me and Daylight are so different to each other and Black soul, and all 3 are so different to this, yet it all sounds brilliant.
You know what drives me crazy is knowing Brent has worked for bands to bring them success as much as he has been given. Examples Apocalyptica/ Halestorm /theory of a dead man and his own band shinedown. I've seen this man perform 17 times even though he has hundred thousands of times. Brent Smith is an angel from the world above. I love his history /music/ talent and voice. Inspiration to others in his music craft and drive for the most important part entertaining you and I. This man is a godsend!!
This is honestly their best album since Amaryllis. I know a lot of people didn't care for Amaryllis during the time the album came out, but during that time the person I loved and trusted more than anyone left us. Alone with my 4 and 2 year old children, Amaryllis helped me through it all, many tears during many sleepless nights, trying desperately to keep my kids from seeing their dad unraveled. I'm better now, it's just me and them, 14 and 12, but wow this song right here brings a lot of those feelings back, and that's okay. Shinedown has been there seemingly through so many emotional ups and downs. Heck my daughter's first favorite song was Second Chance, at 2 years old, she'd be belting it out. Through my denial, my sadness, my hate, my acceptance, and finally contentment, I feel so lucky to have a band like this around.
Symptoms of being Human =) > age - 45 , Diamond Eyes , Weird State of head , Not special , Simple man , breaking Inside , sometimes hears sounds (of madness) , feels like a monster , wishing for a second chance , Hoping someone will Call me , Thinks of cutting the chord yet Gets Up and moves on . Fights bullies and enemies and begins again. Knowing life is beautiful like Amaryllis , Crow and the butterfly .
I've been a Shinedown fan for about 20 years and I've never had one of their songs speak to me like this one does. It's like Brent has known me for my whole life and just wrote this about me. And it's even more true since I lost my mom recently. She was my best friend. The first few times I listened to it, I cried. Thank you for always being with me Shinedown!
I have never related so much to an album as I have this one, especially A Symptom of Being Human, Dysfunctional You, and Daylight. It just speaks to my soul. Thank you Shinedown ❤️
Definitely hit home with this one. Ever cry spontaneously and realizing that it's because you have been understood? Pushing 60 and this song hit dead center. Thanks guys, love you all
This song was totally written for me and my heartbeat, he knows who he is. I’m so sad that we’re apart. I listen to this just to be close to him. I cry my eyes out too because I miss him so much. I’m so lost without him. We’re DEFINITELY soulmates
You are a wonderful person with schizophrenia. I work with people who have serious mental illness and i try to teach them, they are NOT their illness. Their illness is just part of who they are. :)
It's so reassuring to have a band that has been with me through so many rough times in my life still deliver these songs that touch my soul when I need it most. Thank you for helping me understand myself and make sense of this crazy thing we call life
"A Symptom Of Being Human" I can't 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 a-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
Probably my favorite song off the album. Its so well written. So relatable. The sound is beautiful. I have autism and I don't know how to describe my feelings well at all but I feel like this song hits it on the head. It's almost like the anthem for those who don't know how to show who they really are and how to express themselves. It's perfect honestly
I don’t have autism, but my mental health isn’t the best. It’s hard to express myself period. This is almost my anthem as well. Glad we could relate a bit.
This is going to be a monster hit for Shinedown, look at this thing, more than a million views with ZERO coverage by the media, and it hasn't even been pushed by Shinedown or their managing partners, just wait till it is. Might be one of their biggest hits ever.
I feel like you took my many years of journals and my thoughts and are speaking to me through this album. It’s been a rough few weeks and now I have this to work through. ❤️Shinedown is my therapy
I'm an older Rocker .I love Shinedown without the best t band out now for years this band is tight .A system of being human truly moves me Rock on guys and keep rocking Thanks
This song describes me growing up. I never fit in with any crowd, sure I had friends, but even then I walked to my own tune, had different interests, and if we did have the same I took that love and passion to different levels than they did. I'm a mom to an autistic daughter, and somedays it feels like this raising her and helping her learn to navigate the world and teaching her to care for herself because I know I can't always be here for her.
I find myself listening to this over and over as someone who is dealing with depression i've always been awkward and weird grew up mostly in special education classes all through school got picked on and bullied in elem and jr. High school wasnt as bad and had some friends but I still walked to my own tune and now at 43 i live alone I have never been married,no kids. Had a few relationships but not many long term. At 43 I dont think I have ever been in love before I think I would know if i had. As I get older my parents get older, my grandparents are in their upper 80s almost into the 90's neither of them will be here forever and I keep to myself in this apartment scared of what my life will be like after they are all gone and I'm left alone. Just passing through life like a passenger on a ship of fools. Sorry for the ramble but I believe this song speaks out to so many people in so many different ways. The lost, the lonely, those who beat to a different drum and trying to find a sense of purpose of existence and belonging and wonder.
@@Jay-nq7fn it truly does speak to a lot! And myself have been very weird and awkward growing up. Still am honestly and its hard for me to make friends and keep friendships together ir keeping in touch because I've always felt out of place and a burden to those around me.
Absolutely blown away with this one!! Made me ycry , Speechless! Everything about this song is perfect 💕 Hey handsome! I love Shinedown 😎 for so many reasons ❤️😎
Just wanted to say that many of us relate and just haven't had a voice that the world could hear and we got ignored. Songs like this are a savior . America Burning is amazing too. They killed it.
My Mother passed over several years ago... She liked the little things in life. An order of onion rings from Sonic, riding in my pickup with me as I drove up in the "hills" mountains to some. Just with my stereo on and just enjoying the weather, streams, trees, flowers and so on. Simple things that we don't notice but she enjoyed taking in all the small things in life that we take for granted!! A breath of air as a rain storm was moving in...I could go on and on but won't... I do miss that lady!! My Mother... Shinedown with this new song helps me to remember these things. Sad but good memories for me. If you read this and can appreciate what I'm talking about, thank you!! ❤
It's amazing how one song can mean a different thing to every single person, especially songs like this. You're also as good playing live as you are recorded. Brent, your voice is amazing and Shinedown you're one hell of a band, I've loved you for years. 🏴
Wow the power behind Brent’s voice and the power within this song 2nd time I’ve cried because of this album it’s so moving I love these guys they never disappoint!!
Like everyone else commenting here… you guys killed it. Not with only this song, but basically every song you come out with. It’s seriously mind blowing how you can continue to do this album after album. How you aren’t the most popular band in the world at this point blows my mind. Shinedown please for the sake of everyone who listens to your music, everyone present and those to come.. never change who you are because what you are is everything we all need.
I'm right there with you. Everytime I'm having a hard time dealing with "life". Shinedown comes on and it's always the song I needed to hear for the current issues. Please don't ever change you're flow Shinedown!
Piano remix, acoustic remix, this one... either one. All are great examples of flexibility within a band that works together and aren't afraid to just throw in out there. Shinedown rocks!

“Shinedown has become 1 of the (G.O.A.T.) groups on the Planet” When they 1st started touring my Dad got to follow their tour bus back to Jacksonville in his Semi. They talked back and forth on the CB to stay awake. My Dad came onto DeLand, Fl. where we live. He was excited about it.
This album is sending a powerful message ,if we listen to it and apply the words to our daily lives, the world would be so so much better and we all would never war again .
Hey all of Shinedown i doubt youll see this but, i was the fan you met in Mankato Minnesota, that listened to you on my walks and on Spotify while i play video games, TJ is my name, this is one of my favorite songs, when you said in the target center, that ashes to dawn, 3 days grace, and all of you guys thought the world was a cooler place with you in it, and that we all love you, i know you were talking to the whole audience but i felt you were saying that to me directly cause i have depression and have thought about ending it all sometimes, your speech made me cry because you made me so happy, second chance is also one of my favorites cause it reminds me of my mom and dad who sadly passed away 12 years apart, im so glad i met you guys, you guys will always be my favorite band god bless you Zach Myers, Eric Bass, Barry Kersh and Brent Smith, thank you for what you do for the music industry and thank you for being ambassadors to suicide prevention, i hope i get to meet you all again someday.
We’re all fools on a spaceship called earth heading towards who knows what. Millions of years from now we’ll arrive with the perfect soul. A story that always can be revised by the maker of our simulation.
My daughter just seen them in Grand Rapids and sent this to me. I love how our love for music and showing her, being human is all about this beautiful experience 🦋
I've been listening to Shinedown since I first heard 45 didn't know the meaning then but do now. I love your music I love your lyrics it speaks to me in a way that no other music has in a very long time and also has opened my eyes to things keep writing keep jamming and bring us all together
This song is perfect, and fits my life to a tee. Insanity is a hard habit for me to break, when it so normal to accept. Your catalog of music is a soundtrack to my life and sure many others. Thank you for everything you saved me from, and never stop being the music that makes us feel
I've been getting chill bumps from Brent's voice since 2003 and I'm proud to say that still to this day, (almost 20 years later 🤯) his vocals have the same effect on me 🖤❤️🖤🤘
If we all lived perfect lives never made mistakes, never had a broken heart or even shedded a tear we would never know the true meaning of life and what it's like to have a symptom of being human
In all the years I’ve been listening to Shinedown, I feel like they take mental health seriously with all of their songs. Started listening to them with the song “Second Chance”. Now, I just discover this beauty today. Would definitely consider these guys a saving grace for anyone who is struggling. It takes a lot for me to say that and I’m thirty. I’ve been through plenty of issues. But, I give credit to these guys for helping me through them. #Shinedowncansaveyouwhenyoufeelthatyoucant
Slightly awkward and kinda weird.. yea Thanks for helping to give a voice to those of us that don't quite fit in. Music is power
Everyone is awkward and weird
We're all just passin through
Passengers on a ship of fools
The invation to the lunatics ball for me is being the person you truly are
That's Freedom like freedom is being the weird person who we actually are
My husband passed away Jan 22, 2024 and he loved most of the music in my playlist but he absolutely loved Shinedown and so every time I heard a Shinedown song it reminds me of him and I don't know if I want to cry or smile so I do both. Thank you for being there for us.
So sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🙏
So sorry for your loss...stay strong
I suppose he wanted you to think about him now!
I struggle with depression and there music gets me through the day so thank you Shinedown
My mom just passed on April 1st. We shared a love for almost all music but we truelly loved shinedown. We would workout to it. Crank it up in the car. A few months before she died We were on our way to a Dr. App and I was playing them. She said I raised you right boy. She would have loved this album so much. Miss her so much. Thanks guys. I'll love it for both of us.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't get through this song without crying.
💙💙
I feel this way too much man. I lost mine 3 years ago and If it’s any consolation, it makes you immensely stronger. That’s all she wants for you and Shinedown may be one of the finest examples of a band that makes you that way. I’m so sorry for your loss but know she’ll always be there. Much love
I'm sorry for your loss.
Im sorry. I know how hard that can be. I wish you the best of luck.
"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." Touched my soul a bit to much with that one.
Yessssssss
Agreed
🥸😉
Yea that 1 goes right too the heart
I was trying to hold my emotion but when the "how about you" followed right after that hit me straight and tears just flow....
Today I went to work like a normal day with special needs students age 14-21; I had a 16 year old who listens to music with me while we work and he knew every word to this song… my heart melted knowing his struggles and how much this song reminds me of somebody in my life who I have to keep at arms length. Shinedown does this constantly… brings people together. Thank you

I couldn't have said that any better.
💯💯
No, I'm pretty sure it was written for me. I am Ms. November Rain. 😉
I wish the mass's could hear it that way. Maybe diversity would be so diverse!
My son is a recovering meth addict. We went through hell and back. We both love Shinedown. This album just like all the rest speaks to me and to him as well. He’s been in recovery for 6 years. He’s married has children and is doing well. You can do it! If you are an addict you are loved and prayed for I know this because I pray daily for you and your family. Especially your momma’s. If you need it get help, do the hard work! You are worth it!! You are needed!
Recovering addict here. Been clean from meth for 8 years. Along with my wife. We have a beautiful 5 year old and bought a house a couple of years ago! It is possible, and so worth the trouble. I wouldn't change a thing if I could do it all over again. Well, I wish I hadn't put my momma through hell. But the bumps in the road made me who I am today. Congratulations to your son. I know how hard it was/is.
Thank you for saying this. I appreciate you
@@davinamundy9877 thank you for the kind words 💕
This album is a masterpiece!...Ballads and jams top to bottom..Shinedown is on top of the Planet people!!
Top of planet zero
They never disappoint...not me anyways! But yeah this album is incredible! It's got the ballads and the hard rock that we all want from Shinedown
@@jasperconder341 yessir
Maybe all albums in a compact 100%quality package. Got a little of everything but as always topclass. Act.. 😁
Amen I’m obsessed
The first time I heard this, I bawled... and then hit replay about 10 times. This whole album is so relatable. Shinedown knocks it out of the park yet again on an album that hits where people can feel it!!
Epic!!!!!!
I did the exact thing and I'm a grown ass man who's never supposed to go that right? Much love on your day
@@StromquistOutdoors such BS that men shouldn't be crying. If you need it, you need it. That's just being human!
@@StromquistOutdoors it’s all just a symptom of being human, lovely. Everyone cries, and this whole thing about men not being able to is soo harmful psychologically. You’re perfect ❤️
Literally me right now ❤️
Their music has always made me feel understood. And this one is no exception. It gives me a sense of solace and makes me somehow be okay with being as odd and broken as I am. I hope it does the same for everyone else who hears it
❤️
You aren't broken, you are human!
We are all odd and broken
@@Gumdrops8739 no. Some people just don't understand what those words mean.
@@Gumdrops8739 I agree, just in different ways. In a way it’s nice to know I’m not alone.
I hear myself in every lyric in this song. It's so amazing how Shinedown can just consistently put out songs that just speak to your soul.
I hear ya! So many songs about the struggles of life. Amazing!
YES!!!
Same here
No matter if you've lost someone, you're a mom, dad, someone's brother or sister, listen to the melody of the guitar and his tone of voice. If you have any kind of heart and think about everything in your life, you will get wet eyes. Music is the only thing that can bring a grown man to tears lol.
I lost my dad and brother both in a car accident may of this year. This comments hits most
I have listened to Shinedown since day 1 and it just blows my mind how year after year they make incredible music. Even after their genre has gone through transitions.
Brother you and I both.
Three of us. Shinedown never fails us.
It simply amazes me on how he continues to write these songs on the struggles of every day life.
Brother same. Stuck with them since their first singles 45, Save Me, and I Dare You. Since 2003 they have never failed to move me with their music and here they are almost 20 years later doing it right. One of my top 3 rock bands of all time. Others should take a lesson. THIS is how it's done.
Me toooo
Lost my daughter at 26 years old to addiction.she was a wonderful and beautiful daughter and mother..miss you everyday kyha ennis
I’m sorry to hear that
Prayers for you. We are here for you shall you ever need an ear to hear you.
imagine how many people theyve made cry with their music, amazing yall, amazing.
i remembering what the song "45" actually meant after listening to it for so long... i still cry to that song. dysfuctional you and daylight.... this band is amazing!
This was the song that was playing as we pulled into the parking lot. We both had to just stop and let it finish before we got out of the car. This album is incredible.
THIS ALL SEEMS SO FAMILIAR BUT IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE HOME. ITS JUST ANOTHER UNKNOWN. Those lines. Chills.
Also when the strings come in and how they are slightly behind the beat. Makes for a drawn out somber symphonic moment. THANKS FOR THAT
You may not know it, but somehow you've written the perfect anthem to describe my experience of being autistic before I got diagnosed last year at 28. This album really is rad. Can't wait to see what y'all do next time, but until then I'm more than pleased to binge this album forever.
Being diagnosed this year at 24
Have been most of my life. It's so true. Perfectly explains the feeling I had before I accepted myself of not really belonging despite doing everything you can to try to fit in and be "normal."
I feel this. I've just been diagnosed with ADHD and I realise how hard life as been trying to act and be neurotypical. I'm also supecting autism x
I've ADHD and BPD, and I've never been well liked. This song is just beautiful to me.
I have experience in "behavioral Health care" as an RN. started reading the Bible and different versions for the past 3+ years. I lost faith in pills and hospitals and the 'system' which created 'forced' or 'involuntary' hospitalizations. I still screw up and a 'sinner' per the world view, but Everyday I try to read Scripture and listen to rock/metal songs like this one. there are so many rock bands today that inspire through the lyrics or words inspired faithfully with Gods Spirit freely working small miracles daily. The path to truth and healing is not found written on a prescription pad, restraints, injections given under corporate for profit health care systems.
Leave it to shinedown to push out another song that steps right into that quiet box where you keep your soul. Always singing and telling you that life is far from perfect and thats okay. Just keep on marching on. This and atlas falls are my favorites.
Beautifully expressed
I never really understood the meaning of the lyrics to Atlas Falls but I still love the song.
I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. What a beautiful and a truthful song. Great job guys.
My babe had me listen to this song this week and we’re apart now I’m so sad I miss him like crazy and I’m lost without him so I listen to it just to feel him here with me. He’s in another state.
It's a perfect song to realize that we all have fuck ups but it's just a symptom of being human and we have to keep moving forward and keep believing that no matter what we can always change for the better. This song helps me so much realize that. Thank you so much Shinedown. For all of the songs you have written. All beautiful. And all unique. Ty so much.
Heard this today for the first time while at the gym and as a 54 year old man it moved me to tears. As someone who’s always struggled to like myself and “fit in” every word was a gut punch.
Same here man
Wow, this feels like the relationship between my boyfriend and I.
I'm the awkward woman and weirdo in groups. I never fit in with large groups, never been socially accepted, and dismissed by society. All I've ever done is carry my baggage with me...with everything on fire around me. Then I found someone who understood that. All he's done is support me mentally when nobody else did. He has the same issues that I do. I'm forever grateful that he brought this band back to me. I love him more than anyone else I've ever met.
It’s hard when you work helping the less fortunate, but your co-workers don’t accept you for who you are- the determined one with lots of questions
Remember, they have some, same, similar or different issues as well..hang mg in there lady...You Are Worth It..thanks for helping those less fortunate.❤
You are a gift to this world to be there for others. And to be different is a glimpse of true freedom of mind and soul.
I connect to this comment too much.. unfortunately I haven’t found that person yet, but hopefully soon. You aren’t alone.
As someone in recovery for alcoholism and bipolar disorder this song hits hard. This is definitely one of my recovery songs
Same. 2.5 years sober from booze and struggle mightily with depression and PTSD. Love this song! You are not alone
@@UnicornLyndseyS congratulations the both of you
@@UnicornLyndseySsame veteran
You got this 💪 ❤
And for 4 minutes and 9 seconds all was right in my world.
We buried my uncle on Barkley lake yesterday. He wanted his ashes spread in the water. The whole family cracked a Budweiser and played this song as the boys laid there father to rest. RIP UCLE GENE YOU ARE MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD YOU ARE MY NOVEMBER RAIN THIS TIME IS SO STRANGE I LOVE YOU IM SO SORRY
💔😢
❤❤❤
You only get that invitation to that ball when everything you've seen and been through finally catches up to your brain... if you know you know!
That's when your brain tells you how/why are we still here?
This song is me. I struggle with anxiety and depression and sometimes feel different to everyone else. But this song just makes me realise its not just me.
I found Shinedown a few weeks ago with Black Soul in my mums car. Now this is my favourite band. Call me and Daylight are so different to each other and Black soul, and all 3 are so different to this, yet it all sounds brilliant.
I’ve listened to them since the 1st album. So many amazing songs over the years.
Omg it's great it me everday
One of the most well written songs ever. Shinedown gets it
Absolutely ✌️
You know what drives me crazy is knowing Brent has worked for bands to bring them success as much as he has been given. Examples Apocalyptica/ Halestorm /theory of a dead man and his own band shinedown. I've seen this man perform 17 times even though he has hundred thousands of times. Brent Smith is an angel from the world above. I love his history /music/ talent and voice. Inspiration to others in his music craft and drive for the most important part entertaining you and I. This man is a godsend!!
This is honestly their best album since Amaryllis. I know a lot of people didn't care for Amaryllis during the time the album came out, but during that time the person I loved and trusted more than anyone left us. Alone with my 4 and 2 year old children, Amaryllis helped me through it all, many tears during many sleepless nights, trying desperately to keep my kids from seeing their dad unraveled. I'm better now, it's just me and them, 14 and 12, but wow this song right here brings a lot of those feelings back, and that's okay. Shinedown has been there seemingly through so many emotional ups and downs. Heck my daughter's first favorite song was Second Chance, at 2 years old, she'd be belting it out. Through my denial, my sadness, my hate, my acceptance, and finally contentment, I feel so lucky to have a band like this around.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad Shinedown was around to help you a little. God Bless you and your kids
It's amazing how much strength we can receive from the power of words, put to music!
Symptoms of being Human =) > age - 45 , Diamond Eyes , Weird State of head , Not special , Simple man , breaking Inside , sometimes hears sounds (of madness) , feels like a monster , wishing for a second chance , Hoping someone will Call me , Thinks of cutting the chord yet Gets Up and moves on . Fights bullies and enemies and begins again. Knowing life is beautiful like Amaryllis , Crow and the butterfly .
I love this band so much, they really connect with people on the deepest level. So much talent, truly gifted.
Just when I thought they couldn't top what they've already done.....LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
I've been a Shinedown fan for about 20 years and I've never had one of their songs speak to me like this one does. It's like Brent has known me for my whole life and just wrote this about me. And it's even more true since I lost my mom recently. She was my best friend. The first few times I listened to it, I cried. Thank you for always being with me Shinedown!
I have never related so much to an album as I have this one, especially A Symptom of Being Human, Dysfunctional You, and Daylight. It just speaks to my soul. Thank you Shinedown ❤️
I was diagnosed with adhd related anxiety, memory loss and Ticks in my 50s. This song really hits home; helps me know I'm not alone.
You really aren't!
Thank you
I have ADHD and tics. You're not alone!
@@pennyfleckyou’re never alone. I feel the same way, alone usually when I’m home. Hope you’re okay a year later ma’am/sir!
Definitely hit home with this one. Ever cry spontaneously and realizing that it's because you have been understood? Pushing 60 and this song hit dead center. Thanks guys, love you all
Words cant express how much my heart just aboslutely loves Shinedown! I was lucky enough to get to see them in concert once!
This song was totally written for me and my heartbeat, he knows who he is. I’m so sad that we’re apart. I listen to this just to be close to him. I cry my eyes out too because I miss him so much. I’m so lost without him. We’re DEFINITELY soulmates
That's Freedom like freedom is being the weird person who we actually are
I’m a schizophrenic. This song has helped me more than I can ever express ❤❤
You are a wonderful person with schizophrenia. I work with people who have serious mental illness and i try to teach them, they are NOT their illness. Their illness is just part of who they are. :)
Beautiful
@@KatieErickson-dy6otcame here because I dig the song. Left with life advice. Thank you that helped me
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I'm a Schizophrenic
And so am I
It's so reassuring to have a band that has been with me through so many rough times in my life still deliver these songs that touch my soul when I need it most.
Thank you for helping me understand myself and make sense of this crazy thing we call life
"A Symptom Of Being Human"
I can't 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 a-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
The emotions of Shinedown songs are unmatched, touching our souls like no one else.
Dammit Shinedown, how the hell do you just keep getting better? Thank you for all your music, and especially this.
Probably my favorite song off the album. Its so well written. So relatable. The sound is beautiful. I have autism and I don't know how to describe my feelings well at all but I feel like this song hits it on the head. It's almost like the anthem for those who don't know how to show who they really are and how to express themselves. It's perfect honestly
I don’t have autism, but my mental health isn’t the best. It’s hard to express myself period. This is almost my anthem as well. Glad we could relate a bit.
Man this is good. Thank you Shinedown for that music that feeds the soul.
This is going to be a monster hit for Shinedown, look at this thing, more than a million views with ZERO coverage by the media, and it hasn't even been pushed by Shinedown or their managing partners, just wait till it is. Might be one of their biggest hits ever.
I feel like you took my many years of journals and my thoughts and are speaking to me through this album. It’s been a rough few weeks and now I have this to work through. ❤️Shinedown is my therapy
Shine down is Great Therapy
Same...
I'm an older Rocker .I love Shinedown without the best t band out now for years this band is tight .A system of being human truly moves me Rock on guys and keep rocking Thanks
This song describes me growing up. I never fit in with any crowd, sure I had friends, but even then I walked to my own tune, had different interests, and if we did have the same I took that love and passion to different levels than they did. I'm a mom to an autistic daughter, and somedays it feels like this raising her and helping her learn to navigate the world and teaching her to care for herself because I know I can't always be here for her.
I find myself listening to this over and over as someone who is dealing with depression i've always been awkward and weird grew up mostly in special education classes all through school got picked on and bullied in elem and jr. High school wasnt as bad and had some friends but I still walked to my own tune and now at 43 i live alone I have never been married,no kids. Had a few relationships but not many long term. At 43 I dont think I have ever been in love before I think I would know if i had. As I get older my parents get older, my grandparents are in their upper 80s almost into the 90's neither of them will be here forever and I keep to myself in this apartment scared of what my life will be like after they are all gone and I'm left alone. Just passing through life like a passenger on a ship of fools.
Sorry for the ramble but I believe this song speaks out to so many people in so many different ways. The lost, the lonely, those who beat to a different drum and trying to find a sense of purpose of existence and belonging and wonder.
Wow reminds me of me. Crazy how many of us are our there. 🙏
@@Jay-nq7fn it truly does speak to a lot! And myself have been very weird and awkward growing up. Still am honestly and its hard for me to make friends and keep friendships together ir keeping in touch because I've always felt out of place and a burden to those around me.
@@twystydwhyspyr88 You have a friend in me if you would like to have me. I have FB we could chat sometime if you like.
His vocals are so amazing. This song literally made me cry allot 💜
I feel the same way . First time I heard shinedown live I cried through the whole concert . Something about Brent voice .
🥺🥺🥺
Absolutely blown away with this one!! Made me ycry , Speechless! Everything about this song is perfect 💕 Hey handsome! I love Shinedown 😎 for so many reasons ❤️😎
Me too
@@jaimecarter7707 man i wna watch them live so bad. RUclips live is not the same :(
My one friend heard this song and sent it to me, he said it reminds him of me. Awkward, quiet and the odd ball out... I love this song🖤
Relatable*
Shinedown's lyrics are absolutely breathtaking. I'm so thankful to have found this incredible band.
Just germs on a rock flying through space..
There is no bad Shinedown songs they just get keeping greater
Just wanted to say that many of us relate and just haven't had a voice that the world could hear and we got ignored. Songs like this are a savior . America Burning is amazing too. They killed it.
Shinedown understands their genre very well. How many rockers out there feel like this? Because I for one, connected with every word.
Worldclass performance from one of The worlds most complete bands. Drummer song base guitar.. What more is there to say?
My Mother passed over several years ago... She liked the little things in life. An order of onion rings from Sonic, riding in my pickup with me as I drove up in the "hills" mountains to some. Just with my stereo on and just enjoying the weather, streams, trees, flowers and so on. Simple things that we don't notice but she enjoyed taking in all the small things in life that we take for granted!! A breath of air as a rain storm was moving in...I could go on and on but won't... I do miss that lady!! My Mother... Shinedown with this new song helps me to remember these things. Sad but good memories for me. If you read this and can appreciate what I'm talking about, thank you!! ❤
It's amazing how one song can mean a different thing to every single person, especially songs like this. You're also as good playing live as you are recorded. Brent, your voice is amazing and Shinedown you're one hell of a band, I've loved you for years. 🏴
My grandson was diagnosed with ADHD and is depressed he loves this!!!!!!
Wow the power behind Brent’s voice and the power within this song 2nd time I’ve cried because of this album it’s so moving I love these guys they never disappoint!!
I just love shinedown, they can rock or make a ballad and you cant stop listening to them
Every single time this song comes on the radio my 8 year old sings it word for word.
Lauren, Diamond, Mom, Steven, Ashley, Huntersville and so many more of us. That gives no one the right to abuse others. Lessons in life
Like everyone else commenting here… you guys killed it. Not with only this song, but basically every song you come out with. It’s seriously mind blowing how you can continue to do this album after album. How you aren’t the most popular band in the world at this point blows my mind. Shinedown please for the sake of everyone who listens to your music, everyone present and those to come.. never change who you are because what you are is everything we all need.
Truth!
I'm right there with you. Everytime I'm having a hard time dealing with "life". Shinedown comes on and it's always the song I needed to hear for the current issues. Please don't ever change you're flow Shinedown!
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever seen live
I'm seriously obsessed with you guys! Every. Freaking. Song. You guys have resonates with me. Yall are amazing, thank you for the best music ever❤️
DITTO!!!!!!!
The piano in the end makes me feel SO many things. Just. Beautiful.
Me too. It's one of those songs that speaks to my soul
Shinedown was my first concert, and I've always loved how I heard someone describe their music:
"Real music for real people going through real shit."
Piano remix, acoustic remix, this one... either one. All are great examples of flexibility within a band that works together and aren't afraid to just throw in out there. Shinedown rocks!

“Shinedown has become 1 of the (G.O.A.T.) groups on the Planet”
When they 1st started touring my Dad got to follow their tour bus back to Jacksonville in his Semi. They talked back and forth on the CB to stay awake. My Dad came onto DeLand, Fl. where we live. He was excited about it.
You know when my twin flame and I reunite this song right here will be our song. Something tells me she's coming and soon.
Keep Faith 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Such a really unique and thoughtful way to relate to his love that they're both equal and together they equal ONE!!!
This album is sending a powerful message ,if we listen to it and apply the words to our daily lives, the world would be so so much better and we all would never war again .
Hey all of Shinedown i doubt youll see this but, i was the fan you met in Mankato Minnesota, that listened to you on my walks and on Spotify while i play video games, TJ is my name, this is one of my favorite songs, when you said in the target center, that ashes to dawn, 3 days grace, and all of you guys thought the world was a cooler place with you in it, and that we all love you, i know you were talking to the whole audience but i felt you were saying that to me directly cause i have depression and have thought about ending it all sometimes, your speech made me cry because you made me so happy, second chance is also one of my favorites cause it reminds me of my mom and dad who sadly passed away 12 years apart, im so glad i met you guys, you guys will always be my favorite band god bless you Zach Myers, Eric Bass, Barry Kersh and Brent Smith, thank you for what you do for the music industry and thank you for being ambassadors to suicide prevention, i hope i get to meet you all again someday.
Once upon a time, the sky knew the weight of angel armies on the move, and the wind blew infernal with the fire of their wings.
We’re all fools on a spaceship called earth heading towards who knows what. Millions of years from now we’ll arrive with the perfect soul. A story that always can be revised by the maker of our simulation.
Thank you Shinedown for creating a song to help remind me what I'm going through in this life. And its part of process to where I'm headed.
My daddy passed away September of this year. He always said this was our song, when he missed me he’d play it. Now I play it because I miss him
i’m so sorry for your loss 💔
My best friend died from fentanyl and this explained my brother. R.I.P Kyler, I'm sorry I couldn't do better but. Happy birthday.
This song took me on a roller coaster of emotions
My whole life in one song!
It’s amazing how many of us there are! ❤
Today is my birthday and I am so sad and lost in the world!
My daughter just seen them in Grand Rapids and sent this to me. I love how our love for music and showing her, being human is all about this beautiful experience 🦋
I've been listening to Shinedown since I first heard 45 didn't know the meaning then but do now. I love your music I love your lyrics it speaks to me in a way that no other music has in a very long time and also has opened my eyes to things keep writing keep jamming and bring us all together
I cried when I heard this the first time the second time not so much 😭
Bravo Shinedown, you did it again. You have a song that resonates with so many. The human race needed this song.❤️
This song is perfect, and fits my life to a tee. Insanity is a hard habit for me to break, when it so normal to accept. Your catalog of music is a soundtrack to my life and sure many others. Thank you for everything you saved me from, and never stop being the music that makes us feel
Thank you, shinedown, for this song
I feel it in my soul
I've been getting chill bumps from Brent's voice since 2003 and I'm proud to say that still to this day, (almost 20 years later 🤯) his vocals have the same effect on me 🖤❤️🖤🤘
They have a way of reaching how so many feel and making you feel more human. I pray I can see them someday and all the the confusion will be clear.
I feel like this song was written for Me. Thank you so much Shinedown for this masterpiece! With Love Ashlee
If we all lived perfect lives never made mistakes, never had a broken heart or even shedded a tear we would never know the true meaning of life and what it's like to have a symptom of being human
Perfect song! Love it cause I have been there when I was 16!!
Hello Amanda..
Can't Stop listening to this emotional words, its what everyone of us feels sometimes.. beeing in a room where you don't belong...Love shinedown 💗
In all the years I’ve been listening to Shinedown, I feel like they take mental health seriously with all of their songs.
Started listening to them with the song “Second Chance”. Now, I just discover this beauty today.
Would definitely consider these guys a saving grace for anyone who is struggling. It takes a lot for me to say that and I’m thirty. I’ve been through plenty of issues. But, I give credit to these guys for helping me through them. #Shinedowncansaveyouwhenyoufeelthatyoucant
As some who is a diagnosed schizophrenic, every song of theirs I’ve heard is spoken to me, every time I hear this song I get goosebumps.
