firstly against me wouldn't be viewed in that way by rise against, tom gabel the lead singer of against me is about the same age as tim from rise against against me isn't older, secondly rise against wouldn't be pissed about against me being on a major because rise against has been on a major longer than against me have, so that rules the hole against me discrediting out. it does have a connection to the against me song. i think basically about how alot of what people try to change and alter in the world for the better is incredably hard to do so it's easy to get jaded and let the struggle wear you down. it's a song to rejuvenate the belief in what we are doing, to not let it go to waste, the need to keep the fight going although it seems utterly hopless, tim is too intelligent to be pointing this negatively at against me, its idiots who talk about against me selling out or some crap that tim wouldn't like

"Teenage Anarchist" is a song by a jaded, old cynic who has nothing but memories of wanting to change the world, "Architects" takes that and makes it into a beautiful song about never giving up and taking our futures into our own hands.
@resist360 Actually bands from similar time periods have done this before, so your theory is wrong. blink-182 replied to the lyrics in one of Nirvana's songs.
