| Rise Against – Help Is On The Way Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Personally, it makes more sense as "While giants in the sky are preparing to unleash and let loose a mighty cry" It also sounds like "The severence is dying" And I also believe it isn't she says it's a shoreline, it sounds more like "She stands at the shoreline" which would make more sense as well. We won't know the official lyrics until Rise Against releases them, so until then we can use our ears to decipher their poem. | |

This song has a very clear and not as an interpretive meaning than most other of Rise Against's songs. This is pretty much directly about the Oil Spill in the gulf. Some things that support this interpretation are: Crescent city - Crescent city is a nickname for New Orleans "Five thousand feet below, as black smoke engulfs the sky, the ocean floor explodes" - the sky being a metaphor for the ocean surface, and the black smoke is the oil. "Choking on the black gold, upon which we rely" - Black gold is a term for oil, and which we rely is referring to how we use oil on a daily basis. The whole chorus about help never coming is a reference to how BP always said they'd deal with the spill and clean it up, but they took forever to do so. |
