Under The Knife Lyrics

Cover art for Under The Knife lyrics by Rise Against

First off, great song, I am a big fan of Rise Against.

I really think its pretty obvious what this song means, but I think its always important to remember every song has a different meaning to everyone, and that the artists meaning isnt always what we need to look for.

To me I see this as a person who is stuck in a corner and is at the point where they cant come up with the courage to try to escape. They thing that if they simply close their eyes and hope for the better that eventually everything will be fine.

At least thats the biggest meaning I see, but like every Rise Against song, there are always several meanins in addition to interpreting things differently.
