Rise Against – Chamber the Cartridge Lyrics 18 years ago
while Shadowofthereals religious point on the song was a little off haha..
i think u make a valid point with the alcohol
it could have something to do with the song
rise against dont drink. period.
so obviously they have an opinion on it

Rise Against – Prayer Of The Refugee Lyrics 18 years ago
its not about a sweaty factory though
metaphor, like always
although they are a big concern..not taking away from that
however, its about being a refugee due to the oppression an individual is facing
"The suffer and the witness" is all about that
you can be a refugee of war or your own town
but i do think this song has some political undertone to it
"Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew."
is proof of that
this song is certainly something to think about
despite its radio play

Rise Against – Anywhere But Here Lyrics 18 years ago
Now I'm on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared.
I'm lying in empty beds again.
Away from you.

I don't think its a negative song
i think it means that he is away, or making new choices in his life
but the empty "rooms", are stil filled with someone no matter what

barbed-wire fences
won't keep me from breaking through,
I swear I will, to you.
this prooves it, while he does go away he always comes back
and barbed wire fences wont keep him away.

Rise Against – Stained Glass And Marble Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is about opening the views on belief
and the blind trust religions get that they dont deserve

ps fallen leaves this a place to discuss song meanings
take ur bs elsewhere

Rise Against – The Approaching Curve Lyrics 18 years ago
wierd, i was just going to say that (revzxr5)
the symbolism is perfect
they can either continue on down the road and self destruct
or take the approaching curve
-she mad no indications of slowing.

Rise Against – Drones Lyrics 18 years ago
quote : think it deals with workers in sweatshops or places where workers work for minimum or below minimum wage doing jobs not very...what's the word...great? i guess?

no, sorry , totally wrong
it deals with us who dont know that we are in fact doing things but not knowing the reason behind them
it could be a multi-millionaire, or a sweatshop worker
lots ofppl have already touched on these issues above ^

Rise Against – Ready To Fall Lyrics 18 years ago
its about comming back after you've been gone for a while
whether u were gone on drugs or gone on tour
maybe he sees a small similarity between the two
feeling distance from his family thinking
hey, its not like iv been on drugs for months,
then wrote this song maybe thinking about someone who had maybe been an addict
tim doesnt strike me as someone who's had a drug problem
but it sure is a great song

Rise Against – Swing Life Away Lyrics 18 years ago
in response to it being "money motivated"

-we get by just fine here on minimum wage :)

and this song is punk in my opinion
its talking about being happy with what you have
and not wanting more all the time

Rise Against – Prayer Of The Refugee Lyrics 18 years ago
"Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I’ll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew."

Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You won't let me down, down, down!


Its a stretch, but it could be about war (iraq?) "warming yourself by the fire" and waiting for the morning
while someones country is being blown up
remembering what life used to be like
"dont hold me up now...i dont need your help now"
that they dont need american help, it just makes it worse.

i realize the video was about free trade
but this song could apply to a lot of things
maybe they couldnt make a video about the iraq war

the years unfold in one moment
the voices that we heard so loud
are now suddenly silenced
inside this crowd

could this be graduation?

Rise Against – Halfway There Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is about asking questions
i dont think these questions even have to be about anything
rather just realizing something is not how it should be
then deciding that you're going to do something about it
taking a stand
then second guessing yourself and needing a reason to keep going
thats halfway there
id like to know how to get to the other half
or even what "there" is
such a great song.
anyone know who or hes wasted time he spent "ashamed i called you friend" ?
