"From the high plains to the badlands" "And the streets were not paved with gold Every man could find a wage" Thats what I hear anyways. Favorite song on the EP by far. |

I feel this song's about figuring out your life. In the first verse, the "web" is life, and "sit up undressed" is implying the idea of being naked; not covering up things. "Tongues as long as hallway carpets" is emphasizing what the last line said, to not covering things up, only this time speaking about covering things up with lies and excuses. The second verse is about your past. The "bones" are your memories, and to "make a new throne" means to remember them. The "faint figure in the window" is another symbolic representation of your memories, and her "word to say" is trying to show that the memories are still important; they have an impact on our lives. The chorus perhaps could be a stark reminder that our life is short; we go "through this world and disappear." |

| Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the soldiers raiding and basically interfering in the lives of the civilians in Iraq? | |

To me, this song is about a guy who's like isn't the greatest (My path is not behind me, I cling to the shreds). However, there's a girl who makes him feel like life's worth living, she brings him "to another world." Towards the end of the song, he has a dream about the girl (So I sleep, I sleep to dream, I dream to wake up in your arms, Breathe you in and kiss the lips of angel), but wakes up to find out that his dream is a reality (I take comfort in the fact that when I dream, that world is gone). Awesome band. If you like Rise Against, I highly suggest listening to these guys. |

| Rise Against – Heaven Knows Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The way I look at this song is more of a conversation than anything else. If you listen closely to the tone of the verses compared to te chorus, you can hear the difference in his voice. Also, the meaning of the verses show that the person is trying to talk his friend out of killing himself, whereas in the chorus, the person who may attempt suicide is giving excuses; "I threw a party in my name" says that he tried to reach out and talk to people, and become friends with them, "but the hours crawled by and no one came" means that he was turned away, and finally "so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings to take me from this place... from you" says that he wants to end his life becuse he is alone, but realizes that he is going to lose the one person that cared - the person he's talking to. Then, at the end, the friend is talking, saying that he doesn't care anymore, he tried, but the suicidal one won't listen. Just my $.02 | |
| Rise Against – Ready To Fall Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I just saw the video for the song, and it has nothing to do with having nowhere to go but down. It's a song about our environment and cruelty to animals. If you want the TV version, its on yahoo videos, or if you got the stomach (and the heart, the video really got to me) you can see the unedited version on google video, just search "Rage Against too hot for TV" (I know, the name is spelt wrong, I'll try uploading it, spelt correctly, later). Caution: unedited version is gory, bloody, and overall, shocking, to say the least. Only view if you can handle it. If I can remeber, there was skinned animals, a DOG throw into a garbage truck, among other things. | |
| Rise Against – Voices Off Camera Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| With what livelongrock said, the bridge basically is reinstating a prevailing theme among Rise Against songs:listening to your heart. It says that we can't keep control of our true intentions, and rather than fight them, follow them, even if it brings you away from the norm (the less traveled road). | |
| Rise Against – Paper Wings Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Swing for the fences" means to go for it with all you've got. This song is definately about realizing your potential and usuing it to its fullest. | |
| Rise Against – The First Drop Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Here's my view on the song: "I’m calling out Only echoes respond But I scream ‘til my voice is gone" He is screaming, trying to get his message across, but no one is responding, hence the echoing. "Crouching in corners and hiding your face I’m sick and tired of playing your games" The people crouching in the corner are Americans who are ignorant, and that he is tired of trying to follow the norm. "I’m not alone I stand amongst the voiceless Millions in the unforgiving sun" He isn't the only one who belives this, there is also the silent majority who are afraid of speaking out against the government. "Here arm-in-arm We parade these streets And sing our songs" He rallies the silent majority together, and gets them to speak out and voice their opinions. |
