"Planet Zero" (2022). As of 2018, the band has had 23 Top 5 hits on Mainstream Rock radio, including 12 number one singles, and a Top 10 hit on the Hot 100 with "Second Chance".
On July 13, 2003, the band released their debut album Leave A Whisper. The album sold the popular singles "Fly From The Inside" and "45". Leave A Whisper was re-released on June 15, 2004, to capitalize on the strength of a new single: A cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man". This song is often dedicated to their friend Dimebag Darrell who died in 2004. The re-release also featured an acoustic version of "45", and a new mix of "Burning Bright", which was to be the fourth single from the album. During 2004, the band notably opened for Van Halen. On September 21, 2005, Leave A Whisper was certified as gold. On August 23, 2005, the band released a live DVD called Live From The Inside that contained a full-length Shinedown concert held at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
On October 4, 2005, the band released their second album called Us And Them, backed by the single "Save Me". Save Me maintained a #1 position on active rock charts for twelve weeks. The song became the theme song for WWE No Mercy 2005. The follow-up single, "I Dare You", also did respectably, and became one of the theme songs of WWE's WrestleMania 22 and was also performed on American Idol by Chris Daughtry. There are currently three versions of Us And Them: the regular thirteen-track version, a limited edition with three bonus acoustic tracks, and a store-specific edition with two bonus tracks: "Break" and "Carried Away". In 2006, the band co-headlined the SnoCore Tour with Seether, Flyleaf, and Halestorm, which was followed by the Equinox Tour in which Shinedown co-headlined with Trapt. Shinedown played their first overseas concert at the London Astoria on June 6, 2006, supporting Alter Bridge. In the late summer of 2006, the band opened for Godsmack and Rob Zombie on their North American Tour.
On December 12, 2006, Shinedown played in Knoxville, Tennessee at The Tennessee Theatre which was filmed for an upcoming DVD the band was expected to be releasing later this year (2007). However, after a recent show, Waukesha, WI, July 21, 2007, the band made it known that the DVD was scrapped by Atlantic Records.
The band began recording their new album in Los Angeles on September 20, 2007. Their first single, Devour, was released on May 20, 2008, and has proven a successful single, with it charting in the Top 10. The video for the song was released on June 25, 2008. On June 17, 2008, the album in it's entirety was put up on their MySpace page for listening. Shinedown's third album, The Sound of Madness, was released on June 24, 2008. The band is currently playing various festivals across North America before embarking on a tour in support of the new album.
Regarding the upcoming album, lead singer Brent Smith was quoted in an interview with Billboard.com as saying; "It's time to just go over the top, literally go above and beyond what a human being thinks they're capable of recording. We want to do a huge hard rock record that has a lot of crossover potential, but also some of the most insanely intense and heavy material that this band has ever tried - and see if we can pull it off." Smith noted that the group had more than forty songs to consider after writing sessions in Atlanta, Nashville and Los Angeles, but this was narrowed down to eleven songs for the standard album, and 14 songs for the deluxe edition.
In 2007 and 2008, Shinedown had some lineup changes with Brad Stewart and Jasin Todd leaving the band and Zach Myers*, Nick Perry, and Eric Bass joining the band.
*Zach Myers was touring guitarist from 2005-2007 and performed as bass guitarist during the recording of The Sound of Madness.
Shinedown performed free concerts at numerous state fairs across the US between June and September of 2009.
According to the Bully Songfacts, the lead single from Shinedown's fourth studio album, Amaryllis, is titled "Bully." It is the first new music to be heard from the Florida-based hard rockers since all six singles from The Sound Of Madness topped the rock radio chart. The song was released on January 3, 2012.
Current members of the band:
Brent Smith
Zach Myers

Shinedown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So get your head right
Crawling through the sand
Making noise, crackin' dynamite
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the past I can't ignore
Nothing less, nothing more
It's all the same as before
I'm just feeding my appetite (I'm just feeding my appetite)
It's in the ground
Underneath
Tied up, tweaked out inherently
And I've been swimming in the new millennium
Run, run, here I come
I'm just having some fun
I'm just feeding my appetite
Don't you know I broke the mold?
Like a hammer to a landmine
You better stick to what you know
'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
It's all around
But you're in no shape
Pacing back and forth, looking low, feeling out of place
I been watching every minute like a casualty, bonafide misery
It's no conspiracy
I'm just feeding my appetite (I'm just feeding my appetite)
Don't you know I broke the mold?
Like a hammer to a landmine
You better stick to what you know
'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind
I got it
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
Don't you know I broke the mold?
Like a hammer to a landmine
You better stick to what you know
'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind
I got it
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
In the song "Outcast," Shinedown is addressing the pressure to conform to societal norms, while also acknowledging their own individuality and breaking of the mold. Starting with the first verse, the lyrics "It's in the air, So get your head right, Crawling through the sand, Making noise, crackin' dynamite" suggest a feeling of rebellion and a desire to escape the restrictions placed on them. The following lines reflect on the past: "And I've been thinkin' 'bout the past I can't ignore, Nothing less, nothing more, It's all the same as before, I'm just feeding my appetite." The repetition of "it's all the same as before" implies that nothing has changed and that the character is stuck in a cycle. However, they are content with it, as long as they are satisfying their own desires.
Moving on to the next verse, the lyrics "It's in the ground, Underneath, Tied up, tweaked out inherently, And I've been swimming in the new millennium, Run, run, here I come, I'm just having some fun, I'm just feeding my appetite" continue the theme of non-conformity. The "new millennium" represents a chance for change, while "swimming" suggests a feeling of being immersed in it. The repetition of "I'm just having some fun" emphasizes that they aren't trying to harm anyone; they are just living their life and doing what feels right to them.
The chorus, "Don't you know I broke the mold? Like a hammer to a landmine, You better stick to what you know, 'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind," sends a message to those around them that they are different and aren't going to change. The comparisons to a "hammer to a landmine" imply that they may cause unexpected change or destruction, and that others should be cautious around them. The last verse, "It's all around, But you're in no shape, Pacing back and forth, looking low, feeling out of place, I been watching every minute like a casualty, bonafide misery, It's no conspiracy, I'm just feeding my appetite," suggests that others are struggling with the same feelings of non-conformity but are too afraid to act on them.
Overall, "Outcast" is a song about individuality and the pressure to conform. The lyrics show that Shinedown stands out from the norm, and while they acknowledge the difficulty of doing so, they refuse to change. The song encourages listeners to embrace their own individuality and to not be afraid to break the mold.
Line by Line Meaning
It's in the air
The tension and conflict are palpable
So get your head right
Prepare yourself mentally for what's to come
Crawling through the sand
Making progress slowly and gradually, often in difficult circumstances
Making noise, crackin' dynamite
Actively challenging the status quo and making a scene
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the past I can't ignore
Reflecting on past experiences that continue to affect the present
Nothing less, nothing more
The situation remains the same as always, with no improvement or variation
It's all the same as before
The repetitious nature of circumstance
I'm just feeding my appetite (I'm just feeding my appetite)
Indulging in actions that give temporary satisfaction or relief
It's in the ground
The essence of the conflict lies beneath the surface
Underneath
Obscured from view
Tied up, tweaked out inherently
Intrinsically bound and distorted
And I've been swimming in the new millennium
Navigating the challenges of the current era
Run, run, here I come
Present and ready to take action
I'm just having some fun
Enjoying the process, regardless of the outcome
Don't you know I broke the mold?
I am not like the others, I am unique
Like a hammer to a landmine
A powerful force that can cause explosive change
You better stick to what you know
Not everyone can handle or survive the risks involved
'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind
I am not content with repeating the past, I want progress
I'm comin' back to outlast every outcast
Returning with a vengeance, to prove resilience and endurance
It's all around
The situation is pervasive and affecting everything
But you're in no shape
Unprepared and vulnerable
Pacing back and forth, looking low, feeling out of place
Overwhelmed and lost in the midst of the conflict
I been watching every minute like a casualty, bonafide misery
Observing the effects of the conflict, with no relief
It's no conspiracy
The truth is clear and undisputable
I got it
I understand and am prepared to take action

🎵Esta en el aire
It's in the air
Así que entiende bien
So get your head right
Arrastrándose por la arena
Crawling through the sand
Haciendo ruido, rompiendo dinamita
Making noise, crackin' dynamite
Y he estado pensando en el pasado que no puedo ignorar
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the past I can't ignore
Nada menos nada más
Nothing less, nothing more
Es todo lo mismo que antes
It's all the same as before
Solo estoy alimentando mi apetito (solo estoy alimentando mi apetito)
I'm just feeding my appetite (I'm just feeding my appetite)
Esta en el suelo
It's in the ground
Debajo
Underneath
Atado, ajustado inherentemente
Tied up, tweaked out inherently
Y he estado nadando en el nuevo milenio
And I've been swimming in the new millennium
Corre, corre, aquí vengo
Run, run, here I come
Solo me estoy divirtiendo
I'm just having some fun
Solo estoy alimentando mi apetito
I'm just feeding my appetite
¿No sabes que rompí el molde?
Don't you know I broke the mold?
Como un martillo a una mina terrestre
Like a hammer to a landmine
Será mejor que te quedes con lo que sabes
You better stick to what you know
Porque no estoy jugando solo para rebobinar
'Cause I ain't playing just to rewind
Regreso

Es todo alrededor
It's all around
Pero no estás en forma
But you're in no shape
Caminando de un lado a otro, luciendo bajo, sintiéndose fuera de lugar
Pacing back and forth, looking low, feeling out of place
He estado mirando cada minuto como una baja, una miseria de buena fe
I been watching every minute like a casualty, bonafide misery
No es una conspiración
It's no conspiracy
Solo estoy alimentando mi apetito (solo estoy alimentando mi apetito)
I'm just feeding my appetite (I'm just feeding my appetite)
¿No sabes que rompí el molde?
Don't you know I broke the mold?
Como un martillo a una mina terrestre

Shinddown is by far my favorite band. At 53 years young, I've been a rocker for a long time. Growing up in days of corporate rock, Led Zeplin, Black Sabbath, Boston, Kansas, Stick, Foreigner, and the like. This band is impressive, with the range of, classy lyrics and musical arrangement's. Keep the music coming guys. It's gets better with every album. ROCK STEADY!
