You know you're in trouble when songs speak to you don't you. Its that time of life where you need a sounding board and loved ones fail you. That's how I felt about this song. It came when I needed the strength to move away from everyone and venture blindly into new. I literally heard this song a dozen times as I was towing my rv packed with all my things, two pets and Girlfriend. I believe the inspiration for this song was heaven sent as many these days needed to go against the social norms or be risky. Nothing else seems to be working. I read others had similar stories, mine in particular is quite brutal as well. Ty Shinedown for blessing me with this song. I took the Haleys Comet reference as needing to be gone to see what is stretched beyond sight, 75 yrs is a bit long but sometimes when you come back everyone is happy to see you, make the time to celebrate your journey, and speculate where you have been. It could mean that in spect to our lives somehow. Wish I could meet Shinedown, maybe my life; s story would be a few more songs.
