Look at the tattoo on his hand at 3:17... what does it say??... Mhmm. Its the little things people miss... In a similar video on stage, a live performance of this song, the main singer admits that the 45 is not a gun, but a metaphor for all the things life gives you, and all the things life takes away. Its a beautiful song. Your life is a gift. Your pain is a gift... So you choose.. Stay in pain and live, and keep on giving, or choose to take your life and be selfish.. (John 12:24, 25) ...Most truly I say to YOU, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains just one [grain]; but if it dies, it then bears much fruit. 25He that is fond of his soul destroys it, but he that hates his soul in this world will safeguard it for everlasting life. (And you realize that in this scripture Jesus was talking about death to a former way of life, right? And not literal death.. Although in his case, it actually did turn out to be the truth since he is the savior of all mankind, the lamb that was slaughtered) (2 Corinthians 12:15) ...For my part, I will most gladly spend and be completely spent for you. ... (the reality of Jesus words - not death but of whole-life self-sacrifice) (Romans 12:1) 12Therefore, I appeal to you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason. (Romans 12:4-13) 4For just as we have in one body many members, but the members do not all have the same function, 5so we, although many, are one body in union with Christ, but individually we are members belonging to one another. 6Since, then, we have gifts that differ according to the undeserved kindness given to us, if it is of prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7or if it is a ministry, let us be at this ministry; or the one who teaches, let him be at his teaching; 8or the one who encourages, let him give encouragement; the one who distributes, let him do it liberally; the one who presides, let him do it diligently; the one who shows mercy, let him do it cheerfully. 9Let your love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is wicked; cling to what is good. 10In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor to one another, take the lead. 11Be industrious, not lazy. Be aglow with the spirit. Slave for Jehovah. 12Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation. Persevere in prayer. 13Share with the holy ones according to their needs. Follow the course of hospitality. (2 Corinthians 8:2, 3) ...During a great test under affliction, their abundance of joy and their deep poverty made the riches of their generosity abound. 3For it was according to their means, yes, I testify, it was even BEYOND their means, So... Your pain is a gift. I will gladly keep being in pain for you... will you do the same? https://youtube/watch?v=MLeIyy2ipps
