| Rise Against – Voices Off Camera Lyrics

The beginning of the song outlines the circumstances at hand, the desperate cries, urgency etc. The chorus of “hit the ground…” tells us of some kind of retreat or escape to somewhere safe to plan the next move. This may be a plan to overthrow, or to subordinate. That is probably the theme of this song, where this may be about a group of people that are trying to achieve a goal that involves them countering what is widely believed.
The ‘interlude’ of “the heart…” kind of confuses me a little bit, and it may just be something that is just a statement. Relating back to the theme to overthrow (weather it be the gov’t or whatever) it might be stating something like a lesson stating that the beliefs of people that are going against the masses may be something that leaves you standing alone, but the more people that do it, the closer we get to the goal. |

This is a great song...helped me get through IB exams. I agree with the concept of being pushed around, the drive that someone has whenn the realise that they must make change takes them the other half way. |

I think that this song is about potential... The verse that starts with "Swing for the fences son..." tells us that the person has potential, but chooses to let it go, and not use it. But is we consider the last verse "Is this the life that you lead..." kind of tells us that this potential may be to choose what he wants to do. The first verse is quite vague with the meaning, but the third verse and fourth verse help us to understand the whole potential theme. The second verse "And I Can't tell if your laughing..." I think means that is the person doesn't use this potential then the train will not leave with him on it. This song tells us to use the potential to choose to its full limits, and tells us not to be apathetic. |
