Give It All

this song is definnitely political since they r political but i believe this song is about the troops in any where across waters that r figthing those pointless wars and r dying for no reason but still there gonna give it there all so they can come home tonite Rock bottoms where we live And still we dig these trenches Bury ourselves in them Backs breaking on the tension For far too long these voices Muffled by distances Its time to come to our senses And from the dark we GIVE IT ALL that part makes the most sense of it and the part about muffled voices from distances i believe that means that Bush is telling them wut to do but hes across the world not experiencing the madness there going through but thats just my opinion

If you watch the music video for this, it shows these people running around town with black hoodies on with bandanas covering their mouths and nose, carrying spray paint bottles. At the beginning they look like teenagers. As you keep watching, it shows them spray painting over signs and stuff. Like, over a fast food bilboard, it says '' 45 callories of heart attack ''. Then, it shows them inside a zoo by a tiger's cage and they stick a sticker onto the display that says '' I've been locked up in a cage my entire life. '' As the sun comes up, they run into an alleyway and take off their street clothes which reveal business suits and such. Then, they all enter the same office.

I think it's basically about people, average day people, people you wouldn't expect, speaking out against their country in ways such as graffiti, and stuff. They're sick of their voices being overlooked. Like, they aren't just against war, they're against the imprisonment of animals or something and those are things that are important to them.

man..somebody screwed up those lyrics pretty bad. here's what they should be:

break through the undertow your hands i cant seem to find pollution burns my tongue cough words i cant speak so i stop my struggling and i float to the surface fill my lungs with air then let it out

i give it all now theres a reason why i sing i give it all and its these reasons that belong to me

rock bottoms where we live and still we dig these trenches to bury ourselves in them backs breaking under tension for far too long these voices muffled by distances its time to come to our senses up from the dirtwe give it all

breathe the ari we give the life we live our pulses racing distances so wet my tongue break into song through seas of competetion so please believe your eyes a sacrifice is not what we had in our minds im coming home tonight home tonight

we give it all this is the reason why i sing so give it all and its this reason that belongs to me today i offer up myself to this im living for my dying wish

i give it all now theres a reason theres a reason to give it all

sorry...i just had to clear all that up..great song

This song IS about giving it all to what you stand for! This has great vocals, and I respect that

oooooookay. The meaning of this song I feel was meant to be open to interpretation, but there are still limits to what can be taken into consideration when interpreting this. We have three things here: Environment, Government, Media. All of those relate to eachother but the lyrics posted ARE wrong and the correct ones still aren't specific. So to break it down, I feel that the song is refereing to how average day to day people, people you you see everyday, just consume resources, and ignore the real problems with the world, and produce more waste as they consume other things, which hightens the demand for resources which is a real problem so people ignore it and produce more waste yada yada yada you see where that one's going. Someone used the very apropriate word, about how the song ENCOURAGES us to not give into the horrible aspects of American Culture that constantly warps our minds. I mean the music takes a really really serious turn to help point that out when he sings "So please believe your eyes of sacrifice, its not what we had in our minds." And the music video was just a bunch of people forcing the city to recognise a bunch of issues that we (as an apathetic society) don't really pay attention to until something bad happens. Say like a lawsuit against McDonalds, or hearing about 100 tigers that were killed for illegal Chinese medicines. So the actual meaning of the song, is simply: stand for what you stand for, take action, and give it all.

New cd fuckin kicks ass. this song reminds me of the old rise against sound.. definetly not a band that gets old or changes their style.

IM not exactly sure, it could be about how they give it all to the fans or for some reason i think its about the war on terrorism. Seeing as how they are against Bush, I may not be too far off.

He sings for himself... and he has his reasons... that's what i get from it... and i think it could have somthin to do with censorship to...

this song is on the rock against bush album, so i agree with mofro, still an amazing song. iv never heard as much emotion put into a word as the 'all' in this song

Single of the year. One of the few songs that can be catchy and still have meaning.
