About This Track

Second Chance is the second single by the rock band Shinedown from their 2008 album The Sound of Madness. It was released on September 9, 2008. The song has been used in promotion for the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was also used in the 2008 WWE Tribute To The Troops show. It isn’t featured on the UK release of The Sound of Madness. In May 2009, the song was used in a promo regarding the return of character Michael Corinthos on ABC’s daytime drama General Hospital

At Pointfest 22, lead singer Brent Smith told the audience that the song is about him leaving his native Knoxville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in rock ‘n’ roll;
“It’s important for you to hear this… When I grew up, everyone was ok with being in a bubble. They were cool in their circle. That’s fine. But no one should discourage someone if they have a dream, if they want something more […] This song was difficult for me to write the lyrics to, because it’s about my mother and my father, and about the day I said goodbye to them, because I had to go try, and I’m still trying every day, to become a man. So, this song is about that. It’s about the moment that you wake up and you decide you want to go for every single dream you ever wanted.”

The official music video for the song premiered on January 8, 2009 on MSN Music. It starts with a teenage girl sitting on a bench at night, and lead singer Brent Smith in the background. It shows that she has a job helping a fisherman. She also has a boyfriend.

    @sodastar If you watch the music video, it's moving. The song is telling you to ignore the past adversities and negative influences and continue perusing your dreams. Sometime to truly escape your adversaties and negative influence you have to run away. It's one of those truly powerful songs.
