"really good song. i dont really like rise against but they arent bad, i really like this song though. uh, interesting video. they look cool playing on all that wood, looks like fun. "
Okay I'm really sorry to do this, I hate criticising other people's opinions but this just made me angry, FallOutBoyGirl4Life. "LOOKS LIKE FUN"?!
They are performing on a blasted, ravaged, bare landscape and you dare call that fun?! Don't you realise the incredible sadness of that image? Goodness sake.
Okay to the song. Bearing the video in mind- which everyone shouldsee, regardless of how squeemish they are- I think it's about the bands frustration at what is currently happening in this planet. I can't direcly link much of the lyrics, but the chorus, "I think I'm at the edge now" just sounds as though the pressure and frustration has built up to breaking point.
If you consider that Rise Against are a massively political band, and are all vegan and environmentally concious, I think it's a song trying to galvanise people into action and into doing something for the planet, for the animal population and for ourselves.
The line "I count the times that I've been sorry"- I think that could be about people who like to think they are helping out but aren't doing much and so apologise, but still just keep doing what they do.
Regarding the video, like I said you SHOULD DEFINATELY WATCH IT. It's shocking and contraversial, just the way Rise Against want it to be, but lordy it will make you think.
