Rise Against is probably my favorite band and this is definitely my favorite album by them. Most of their lyrics tend to have meanings on several fronts and one of them is defintiely in a political and environmental vein. This album has huge ties to those topics. Like I said, their songs can be looked at in many ways, such as The Good Left Undone can be viewed as about a relationship or about what we're doing to ruin our planet or not doing to save it. I think this song is directed toward what's going on in the Middle East. He's basically saying it's so bad, just put me under so I don't have to be there for it and when it's over and things are better, wake me up. Like anesthesia for the problems there. Just my thoughts.
