Weekly Shinedown - Song Twenty Six - Cry For Help!

Hey There!

So this next song was one that I found around December 2014. I had already listened to a lot of individual songs by Shinedown, but I had never listened to a full album yet.

On SoundCloud, the first five songs of Shinedown's album called The Sound Of Madness were in a playlist. I decided to listen to this playlist because I already knew four out of the five songs, and Cry For Help was the only one that I hadn't heard. I used to listen to this playlist many times on repeat because all of the songs are so great. Eventually, I managed to listen to the full album, but at this point, I was still yet to do this.

Everytime that I listen to Cry For Help song now, it always reminds me of the time that I used to spend in IT, listening to shinedown to get me through my work. 

I love that this song is full of energy, and although the song is very heavy to me, it still seems rather bright. My favourite part of this song is the introduction, because the guitars are so powerful, and it just created such an amazing vive before I listen to Cry For Help.

When I was looking into the song meanings, the song reminded me of the story of the boy who cried wolf, because after a while of lying to everyone, people will stop to believe you, even the times when you are actually telling the truth. As a result, you start to lose trust in this person.

I've never seen the chords to Cry For Help, so it would be great if I could get hold of them. Also, I got to listen to Shinedown's new single called Cut The Chord, which I really like!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Cry For Help below incase you're interested!

You've been hiding out
For quite a while now,
Living off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money
To pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the
Rabbit hole
You're taking candy from the white witch
You're smoking tea with Mama Kin
Well, there's a wolf outside
A brick house screaming;
"This time I'm gonna blow it in!"

Because the mind is a weapon, see
And it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

You better pray that theres
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(And doesn't wanna watch you drown)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!

I know you must really think
It's funny, you had everybody
Fooled in the end
But it's a little unassuming
Considered how you knew me
I'm the only one that called
You a friend

Because the mind is a weapon, see
But you're not gonna
Use it on me
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

You better pray that theres
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(And doesn't wanna watch you drown)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!

Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!!!

You better pray that theres
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(And doesn't wanna watch you drown)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!

For help
