| Rise Against – The Strength to Go On Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
First time I heard this song, I thought it was "What we are is the sum of a thousand lives", now, knowing the true lyrics I see how complex this song really is. This song has great, both social and political, meaning. It's asking a question: "What hides behind all the smiles and sunshine?" and it's telling us: "Everything is temporary, present.", "It's not all how it may seem." and much more. Lyrics: "But we are what we are 'till the day we die Or 'till we don't have the strength to go on 'Till we don't have the strength to go on" tell us exactly that, but at the end, there's a twist: "Yeah we don't have the strength to go on." it means that we are not really who we think we are, who we think they are, who they think we are, who you think you are, who you think I am, who I think you are, it's all "The poor disguise that fails to fool The wary eye is trained on you" This is just one thing "The Strenght To Go On" by Rise Against is telling us, among many. |

You may dislike me and my comment for pointing this out, but it's the truth... This song is referring, not just to "war" in general and humanity not learning their "lession", but to the Country sending thousands on foreign frontiers where they don't belong, not willing to offer those Fighters proper protection because it is expensive and they don't consider Fighter's life to be worthy of the money that would be given for their protection. United States of America, Pinnacle Armor and soldiers, marines dying on foreign frontiers just to feed others' ego and propaganda built behind it. |

| Linkin Park – Wretches And Kings Lyrics | 12 years ago |

It is about freedom, revolution, slavery, rebellion, force. "And unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" It's referring to freedom, and World as a machine. "Feel alone, final blow We, the animals, take control Hear us now, clear and tall Wretches and kings, we come for you" It is about rebellion and revolution. "Wretches and Kings" Title says it all. |

| Biffy Clyro – God and Satan Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This song is not about God and Satan as Bible figures, it talks about life in general and how we trust things before even witnessing them in person. "I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan 'cause I want to hear both sides" says it all, people live in prejudice and stereotypes, this song is purposly using two opposite characters and one of them presents Good, while other presents Bad. But question that is being asked, right here "Well I look up to god and I see trouble" is "Why is Good always good and Bad always bad?", just because someone is Bad doesn't mean he can't be good, or vice versa - if somrone is Good he may sometimes be bad. It also tells about how twisted this World is. Full of pain, anger, misery, prejudice and all other things casting shadows on everyone. Just remember: Simon is using two well-known biblical protaginists and antagonist, if we can call them that way. And it's trying to send a message that not everything is as it might seem, just because someone os presented as Bad doesn't mean he really is, just because seone does good most of the time, it doesn't mean he can't do bad. And how twisted the World is when you no longer know what's Good and what's Bad. |
