In my opinion this song is about the environmental situation. Hold on - slow down again from the top now and tell me everything I know I've been gone for what seems like forever But I'm here now waiting To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger But closer than you think - first he's getting an overview of the situation then he says, that he hasn't been acting for a long time, but now wants to show that he's not average, but someone who goes into action She said "just go on to what you Pretend is your life but Please don't die on me" - here I agree with some others: I think that "she" is mother nature and says, that no one actually cares about her - now this next part is interesting. probably the most important message of the song. Wings wont take me Heights don't phase me - he won't change his mind So take a step But don't look down take a step - he's calling for us to start acting, even if theres something holding us back Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall - i think he uses "I" for our population. we're right at the tipping point, really close to downfall of society. Perpetual motion the image wont focus A blur is all that's seen But here in this moment like the eye of a storm It all came clear to me - probably referring to never-ending, always-the-same kind of work as it is so widely known on our planet. and seeing no clear result. and then comes a point he realises that he needs to change. kinda act of rebellion :) I found a shoulder to lean on An infallible reason to live all by itself I took one last look from The heights that I once loved And then I ran like hell - that one's hard to point out... I'd say he found a strong reason to do something. and then after one last glance at his old, convenient life, he started to take action. I count the times that I've been sorry (I know, I know) While my compassion slowly drowns (I know, I know) If there's a time these walls could guard you (I know, I know) Then let that time be right now - again I'd say "I" is used for population. we always say we're sorry. we say it so many times, but we don't change things. and our compassion with mother nature starts to shrink. and then he asks for change, to start realising what we're doing to our planet. |

i don't think that it's got to do anything with drugs. if you know Rise Against, you'd also know that they are (except for the drummer) all straight egde, which means that they don't take drugs or drink alcohol. so writing a song about drug addiction would not at all fit into their usually politic messages. |
