There is this beautiful song by Green Carnation called "9-29-045". I've listened to this song many many times, but I've always wondered what the title means. Does anybody know why they named it "9-29-045"?

Just a quick look-up points to it being the date 9/29/1945, which was right around the time WWII ended. Looking through the lyrics seems to hold this up.
All the violence a man can take
Referencing the violence and cruelty of the war.
Broken bones, and broken homes
Referencing what happens to families and countries when people get killed in war
Yes I failed and I can't go back/ I'm wasted beyond my years
Talking about how war ages you and that veterans have flashbacks

1This makes complete sense, I've never looked at it that way. Maybe because the "0" in "045" is a little misleading. You are smart! thank you ;) – Bahman_Aries Sep 08 '15 at 05:31

1Yeah, the 0 is an interesting choice. – Jacob Swanson Sep 09 '15 at 00:00
