Creatures, finally accepting that you are just human, the addictions, the mistakes, the urges, the things that drive us, its all normal, we all do it. The ups and downs you go through and begging them to understand what its like. Darkside, trying to explain to someone what its like for you in this addiction or depression or PTSD and knowing it sounds wild. Monsters, we all have our monsters that stay with us and always sit there in the back of your mind, trying to overcome them yet recognizing how powerful they are if you don't be careful. Pyro, trying to figure out if you're this way because you're just following in the footsteps of your family and finding a way to break that cycle and not use it as an excuse. And trying to hide how bad it really is hurting you by putting on a "show" through social media or to others that things are better than they really are. Kill Your Conscience, trying to reason with yourself why these things matter and distract yourself, whether it be with drugs, depression episodes, social media, whatever your vice is. "Nothing bout me is ordinary my friends all say I'm going crazy, I don't hear a word that they say." Attention Attention, still seeing what these things have done but in denial, giving excuses. Black Soul, recognizing the addiction or recognizing the depression, or whatever it is you're trying to overcome and what those things are doing to yourself and those around you. Not reaching out for help when you should "Pick up the phone, you said it yourself you're scared of being alone" when people can see what its doing to you "everyone can tell that you're poisoning the well" The psychological effects it can have a person when they take that step and the body begins to cleanse itself.

Devil, which references getting clean off drugs the last time. I left this on a couple social media posts but these are my thoughts and my perception of the film and why it's so amazing: As anxieties dissipate and demons disappear, what emerges is a powerful and enduring statement about humanity, overcoming struggles, the importance of mental health, not being afraid to fail and the resolve of the human spirit.

A stunning sonic and visual work of art, the film weaves the 14 songs from the album into a provocative, visceral and thought-provoking journey that brings viewers along on a psychological, emotional and physical ride from life's lowest lows to the highest highs. Multi-platinum band Shinedown invites viewers into the world of ATTENTION ATTENTION in their new film, bringing to life the story of the acclaimed album of the same name.
