From what I've heard off the "The Sound of Madness" this song sounds like it'll be one of the best songs on the new CD by Shinedown, and one of their best ever. Brent mentioned this was one of the toughest songs he's ever written because it's about him saying goodbye to his parents... having to move on with his own life and become a man, to live out his dreams. Powerful song... deserves to be a monstrous hit for them.

Sometime's parents forget they are raisng there young to move on with there own life.This song brought tears as I'm raising a young man to say those words one day.

Agree with you, but just a question. Why would a young man have to "say goodbye" to his parents as opposed to just moving on to adulthood and changing the relationship with them. Maybe he says goodbye to the parent-child relationship? Maybe now the relationship with adult to adult? Would like to think this is the case.........

this song made me think about my personal experiences. My parents are very toxic and when i am 18 i am leaving them out of my future and wearabouts so i can try and regain my happiness.
