Amber Changing

It's been almost a year and no one has posted about this songs greatness...I love this song, such power in the vocals.

I think the second verse is about a guy begging his ex-girlfriend to take him back, or to forgive him or something, but she refuses, and the guy just can't accept it.. He wants to be frozen in that moment because it's too painful for him to accept the fact that the relationship is over.. He hopes that in time, his feelings for her will burn out, so it wouldn't hurt as much as he does now..

This song is gold

The lyrics have a few mistakes

what does the title mean?

It sounds like someone trying to get through to someone who needs them. A friend. A lover. A family member.

They're fading. But you can't draw them back. You're begging them to listen but they can't hear you over the sound of their own pain.

So if you freeze the moment, keep the night from ending then they can't leave you.

I think this song is about when Tim found out he was having a daughter and I think his Girl friend now wife (IDK if they were married at this time)got into a big fight over it about him touring and being away from home so long and wanted him out but he was not going to give up.

"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.

The song is about being at a show. Tim said that when they played Toronto a while back. The line "no place that I'd rather be than right here, right now" states that pretty clearly. I wouldnt have guessed the meaning, but thats what it is.
