Badmotorfinger08, im not too sure if rise against is as much telling "STFU to emo people" thats kinda ignorant in you, because it says that you dont understand that some peoples lifes are really fucked up. Sure, alot of people out there make big deals about shit most people would think wasnt a big deal, but thats not the purpose of the song.
This is what it means to me:
Somewhere between happy, a total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
Spend your waking moments, simply counting time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, give up on your… (If you listen, he does say is to)
-Hes just saying that sometimes life really gets bad, one second you feel high and the next you hit a big low, but when you hit those lows, if you give up on your aspiration and dwell in the pain, your giving up your life.
Life for you's been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We’ve all been sorry, we’ve all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
-Its a realization that yeah your lifes fucked up, but so is alot of peoples, and it doesn't matter if you see those people with perfect lives, even at times theyve been hurt. Your just like everyone else, even if your pains more than most.
An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shoot my obligations, I miss all your deadlines
I EXCELL quitting early, and fucking up my life
-You lose care about the things you loved, maybe you try and fake happiness, you seem to be good at only giving up, which just fucks you up more
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so great
-once you can really realize this, i mean REALLY, you can be happy again. Sometimes we think we understand things when we really don't.
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
-its getting thru the hardest times that defines us.
