| Rise Against – Halfway There Lyrics | 14 years ago |

My first reaction was that it must've been an anti-government song too, but having read that point I wondered whether it might all also apply to a relationship. Certainly the first few lines could be: "is this the point where we give up/give in/turn ourselves in", asks whether a friendship/relationship is worth continuing. The next three lines then seem to ask whether they should risk it, "throw it all in". After that the whole 'realising/admitting there is a problem and committing yourself to overcoming it is half the challenge' comes in with the "when enough is enough...you're halfway there". Then they take back the things that stop them "being free" (getting along?) "your voice the airwaves sent, you prayed my life would end" could simply be that the narrator heard the subject say something bad, but that led to them "wasting time, ashamed to call you friend". They simply want one reason to fight to keep the friendship going? I came here because when it comes to first looking at lyrics I always go blank. Your comment sparked a slight recognition and going through the song it just kind of fitted, but I've probably bended the lyrics to my purpose. That's why I <3 RA so much though; they come up lines, often just one or two in a song, that anyone can fit to a huge number of situations and yet fit so precisely. |
