| Rise Against – Injection Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I picture the american health system, where you don't get treatment if you don't have insurance. He's singing about the injustice the system presents for those who cannot afford it and aren't given medical treatment. A very strong message. They could learn a thing or two from the Norwegian medical system IMO. | |

| The last words "from you" in the lyrics isn't correct, even though it sounds nicer. He actually says "fuck you", which also goes together with the main persons' state of mind in the rest of the chorus. | |
| Rise Against – Gethsemane Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I was just in Israel, and while there we went to see the actual live Getshemane, and we heard a jewish guide talk about it alot. Title: Getshemane (hebrew word for olive press) is the garden where Jesus prayed the night he was betrayed. "Ruin it with a kiss": Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus by telling the soldiers who arrested Jesus "the one I kiss is He you should take." He then came and kissed Jesus (common gesture, not like romantic kissing), and Jesus asked him why he betrayed Him with a kiss. "The innocence we held once": It basically means that before he knew about his sin, he viewed himself as a good person. But because he now knows, everything has "been suffocated in this breathless moment". The Chorus is a plead from God, that the person in the song must believe in Him, and He promises to believe in the person in return. He then continued to say He gave everything (His own son) to the person. The whole second verse is about Jesus' intense pain as he prayed to God if there was any other way, because His path was so terrible and heavy. But he obeyed to the end anyway. He actually sweat blood as he prayed, it was that heavy a burden. The third verse is a description of the person in the song's own disabilities to believe or grasp the depth of what actually happened in Getshemane. He ends with a dare to anyone who would try to tell him he is a coincidence, as he can still grasp somehow that God did this for him. The fourth verse is a deep confusion about 'the truth', as there are so many people telling him it's all a lie, so he doesn't know where to find the truth anymore. All in all, a great testimony with clear pain and longing in his words. End of interpretation. |
