| Rise Against – Whereabouts Unknown Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is obviously questioning religious people. "Tainted crown of thorns" = the crown of thorns places on Jesus' head before being crucified, and put the word "tainted" to describe that crown. The title of the song, "Whereabouts Unknown" = where is this "God"? I will go no further, I'll let you guys figure out the rest, these clues should be enough, and if not just keep in mind that Tim and Brandon are both atheist, it should help you interpret their songs. And much of the Appeal to Reason album is about religion. Drones = "disciples of the gods... never live nor breathe." Collapse = "this is not a test." I like these other interpretations though, I don't agree with them, but music is to be interpreted so I won't criticize how you see the song. |

| Circa Survive – The Greatest Lie Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I think the name of the song itself tells it all. "The Greatest Lie" it's obviously about the belief in a divine power (god). Not to mention the other songs on the album "Kicking Your Crosses Down" I think the name of the song itself should be enough to tell us the meaning of it. |

| I don't think this is literal. I believe there is deeper meaning to this, it's a metaphor. | |
| Rise Against – Hairline Fracture Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| I believe this song is saying that not everything is perfect, everything has flaws, and we shouldn't let that ruin what we had planned. "JUST a crack in the surface" this means it can be overcome, but we as people, tend to give up before we try. There are many more examples I can provide in the lyrics, but I'll leave that up to you guys/gals. | |
| Circa Survive – On Letting Go Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree, but the part that still seems to confuse me is when they say "If blood is thicker than water then you'll drown quicker than we intended" Any ideas? Because I have no clue. :/ |
