Rise Against – The Good Left Undone Lyrics 12 years ago
"All because of you I haven't slept in so long
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down
Inside these arms of yours

All because of you I believe in angels
Not the kind with wings no, not the kind with halos
The kind that bring you home
When home becomes a strange place
I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out"

This is the song that got me into Rise Against, and make me listen to more of them. They are now my favorite band. This line still gets me. Tim writes the most powerful lyrics, and sings them with more passion than any lead singer out there. Love this song. Always have, always will.

Rise Against – Hairline Fracture Lyrics 13 years ago
I would say its about life will give you speed bumps, and youll trip and fall through out your life, Youll be hurt by plenty of people, but You have to keep pressing through life. "Its just a crack in the surface, a flaw in the plan" - Even though it didnt go the way you expected, thats okay, no big deal, just keep moving.

"I walk on wounds
That seldom prove to slow me down
I laugh this constant pain away
So you can't tell
But there it lies under the smiles
It drains me mile after mile
But seldom proves to slow me down
Here I go
Here I go
Here I go"

This is the part where you realize that you cant wear your heart on your sleeve, You have to smile through the pain and the sorrow, and know that everything is going to be okay, just dont stop moving.

Rise Against – Audience Of One Lyrics 13 years ago
I saw this song Live and acoustic and it literally changed so much about me as a person. Its about giving everything about yourself to a girl who never really appreciated what you did. I teared up when Tim sang -
"I brought down the sky for you, and all you did was shrug..
You gave my emptiness a name, and you ran away"
Because that is really what I felt like I was doing with my relationship at the time. This song gave me the sense and the strength to finally end it with her, less than a month later.

But anyway, It then says "A show of hands from those in this Audience of One, where have they gone?" I think that is saying that, when you gave your all to the girl, You lost some friends along the way, and now that she is your only "fan" or friend, but she doesnt cheer you on, because she doesnt respect you like she should and doesnt love you back.

This song has touched me and I dont think Ive ever related to a song in my life more than this one.

Rise Against – Swing Life Away Lyrics 13 years ago
I see this song not so much as love between a man and woman, but between the love that friends share. I think its about friends getting through hard times together and always being there for eachother.
"I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first,
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse."
It's about always having that one friend who you can tell anything to and knowing they wont judge you and will always understand. And you and that friend just "Swing Life Away" just as God intended.
