I think that this song could be about child abuse but with rise against, just about any of their songs are open to interpretation. Here's a walk through of the song:
"We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can’t disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
We don’t disappear just because your eyes are shut, now tell me "
The children aren't loved as they should be and are poorly treated, their pain is deep
Parent's cant disown their kids so easily since they are blood related so they turn to other measures
Kids dont just disappear when you want them to
"Love
Loss
Like a bullets path
Tear
Through
The cavity of my chest
Lights
Out
Because the fuse has blown"
Love is gone because of the pain you've caused me
You kill me inside
This has happened because you couldn't control yourself (fuses will blow because they are overloaded)
"As your castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we take control"
As you ruin this relationship and you're presence as a roll model; we watch
You will not always be in power and you dont deserve it now; we take control
"This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
Because it’s the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
It’s the song I sung from the bottom of heart, that’s how we"
The abused child looking at a friend's family realizing they never had one like that
The child could never win because they couldn't ever fight back against their parents
The child wants to get out, wants to leave, but is held back.
I say this sincerely and genuinely
"Read
You
Like a polygraph
Not
One
Single bone in your back
Own
Up
To how you let us down"
We see how you really think of us
We can't stand up to you/You are too cowardly to deal w/your emotions
Deal w/how you hurt me
Chorus is the same as the first
"Except for you and me, love
Everyone is the same, we know
But if too live, we have to be numb
I’d rather know the pain, I’d rather know
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be same
The ends we seam together"
I love you because we're family and we're different than everyone else.
I'd rather have this pain than not have a family
This really never happens, but it happened to me
This relationship will never be the same, we will meet when this ends.
"I’m not after fame and fortune
I’m after you
When I’ve served my time I swear I will come for you"
I'm not following a good example, I'm after you
After this is over I will deal w/you.
