| Rise Against – A Beautiful Indifference Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
From my point of view this song is all about the passivity of most people regarding the world's continual degradation (may it be about wars, human treatments or about ecologic issues). It also points out the fact that most of those passive people aren't so because they don't want to cry out and stand for more human values but because they have been learned (and forced) not to (educational, media and political manipulation). BUT, the end of the song directly leads towards the conclusion it isn't always an absolute state of mind. Human beings have also done good things and if that kindness could be used at a greater scale, this may result in a better world. Tim is calling for that goodness to shine in and out of us all. |

| Rise Against – Under The Knife Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| To me this song has always been about child abuse. Its structure also reminds me of a nightmare as if it was not concerning present events but those of an older person who'd had suffered from such bad treatments. It sounds as a personal call of distress, knowing those dark memories must be hidden and buried to keep on living and hoping for a brighter future but still having to resist to this annihilating subconscious truth (which is that those events really occurred). | |
