As someone who has struggled with PTSD for years, this song gives me life. You think you've beaten the monsters back and then they show up again.

The woman at the beginning cheated on her husband while he was deployed and then killed in action. She's having an affair with the man who touched her shoulder when they were graveside and she shrugs him off. Brent's monsters are his past troubles with substances and alcohol, and its truly amazing and wonderful that he is still here and has grown in huge and unimaginable ways in the past 20 yrs or so and we are pretty damn lucky that he is still around to make such important music and his openness and honesty about who he used to be and how that gave him a different perspective. They don't shy away from difficult topics and that is truly needed.

“What A Shame” is a good one from Shinedown as well. Shinedown has been a mental health advocate for years. They saved my life more than once.

His wife wasnt the good one, she was cheating on him while he was deoloyed and died in war.

IMHO- She had her husband killed. Because she has her boyfriend whom she was cheating. Her dad who was holding her hand, at the funeral, was a monster too.

Monsters being real is both symbolic and realistic. Monsters (addiction, hauntings, etc) as well as abusive family members, abusive spouses, etc. They're real, regardless if they're physically real or mentally real.

"Get Up" is a great follow-up to this song. I play it when I need to pick myself up.

Notice how the girl is so afraid of the people who killed her father. The monster is inside her.

I have PTSD and so many other symptoms that I truly hate… Monsters never give up, they never get tired, they are ever pressing forward relentlessly! Right when we think that we have them in check, they let us know that they’re still there and just waiting for us to drop our guard. What I’ve found that “helps” me is…. Since your monsters are that strong, that’s only a sign of how strong you are. It’s your mind bringing your monsters to life. Use that to make you stronger! Use it to make you as powerful as you want to be! There’s no end to our limits, it just depends on how far you want to go! The Waves Keep Crashing But I’m Still Standing!💪🏽🩶🤙🏽

I think this is about childhood sex abuse by her dad who everyone hails as a hero, and how it affected her grown! :(

@backyardrailroader

Everyone has monsters in them. Some people have small ones they can control.

@michimogo

More Shinedown! Much more! "Save Me" is powerfull

@Palefox11

I fight my monsters every day. Some days I get tired and pull away but music is always the escape. I love shinedown and his voice. I've always tried to be open with my struggles with the hope it might help someone else's pain.

@jodiemanthei6160

“Daylight” and “Symptom of Being Human” have gotten me through so dark stuff. Thanks for doing this one!

@Bettencourt_

If you like this one, you NEED to listen to the whole album beginning to end. It's a mental and emotional trip worth the ride.

It's crazy how 45 years later, my monsters still find me. Even under the bed. Complex PTSD is a bad ass monster manifesting as hundreds of other bad ass monsters. We are life long warriors.

Brent is all about putting songs out there to show people that they aren’t alone when they are in a dark place he’s had people come up to him telling him that they’re songs have saved their life but Brent always responds with “ no you did that we just gave you the extra push to help you fight what you’re going through “
