| Rise Against – Amber Changing Lyrics | 7 years ago |

"Information kept to myself and everyone wants to know" This was likely written at a time when major record labels were contacting Rise Against left and right. This line refers to their acceptance or decline of new contracts. The rest of the first verse follows up with the realization that they have come upon one offer that seems to work for them -- they believe they will be able to continue to push their message through with DreamWorks records without losing integrity. "I'm on the other end begging you, pick up the phone, A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore your voice is wasted 'cause no one's listening" Tim realizes the smaller punk rock scene they grew up in, the scene that really made them, will have significant disdain for their decision to sign. He's trying to talk to that scene, but he is not getting through to them. He knows nothing is going to be the same. The rest of the words are a genuine expression of how he feels about what he is giving up. |
