RISE AGAINST LYRICS

  Lyrics - Rise Against Lyrics

 :: Biography
 :: Albums





Armed with the fury of classic punk acts as Minor Threat
and Bad Brains, blended with intelligent vocals and a
serious commitment to providing a positive alternative to
the oft-dreary and disenchanted aura that engulfs most punk
bands, Chicago’s Rise Against might be seen as an outcast
amongst its peers.

“It was almost cool to be negative, especially around
Chicago,” bassist Joe Principe recalls. “So, vocalist Tim
[McIlrath] and I had this main goal of putting a positive
light on things. There are so many bands that sing about
negative things, and we kind of wanted to use this to show
people it’s OK to voice your opinions and stay positive. We
just wanted to be more productive, lyrically.”

“It’s not so much as we’re a political band, but what we
feel is our so More...

    Review about Rise Against

    yea.. | Reviewer: matthoffman
        ------ About the song Injection performed by Rise Against

    matt's right. you guys are pretty dumb. its pretty much strait out telling u the meaning in the words, there is no hidden meanings. its about a heroine addiction and the problems it caused in their life, hence the subtite heroine.there is the one person in his life that is guiding him to recovery from it, hence the line will u be my compass. the single line of lyrics before each chorus are signs of withdrawel he is having from trying to quit. well the rest is up to u tards to figure out for urself, i got a handcramp, and im going to bed.

        ------ About the song Swing Life Away performed by Rise Against

    i first heard this on the radio while i was driving somewhere with my boyfriend. he was playing games with me and not letting me hold his hand, and this song started playing and it was like "i won't cross theses streets until i hold your hand" and it hit me hard. and then i realized he was kidding and it made me happy.
    :]


    Good song, bad fans | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Under The Knife performed by Rise Against

    People, this is an awesome song which is by my favorite band. But what puts me under the knife and starts my nervous breakdown, and Heaven knows how angry I get with bad spelling and gramer like what you guys have. A my voices of camera want me to be anywhere but here.


    another thought... | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Ready To Fall performed by Rise Against

    maybe I'm way off here, but consider the lyrics from a love song perspective...just a thought. Anyone ever been hurt and devastated by a relationship that when the chance to love again comes along you are so utterly terrified it's like standing on the edge...and the self doubt makes it impossible to trust your own heart???


    touching | Reviewer: Om-Nom-Asaurus
        ------ About the song Behind Closed Doors performed by Rise Against

    I downloaded a heap of Rise Against songs after I heard this song coz I don't think I've heard many songs latety that aren't about some broad someone f*cked or some rapping shit. This song serious puts in perspective how much worse things could and that though you may be hurt standing up for yourself is probz the best way to take things. MAJOR cheer up song and I love it to death :D it truly is touching!


    thank you | Reviewer: Kyle
        ------ About the song Everchanging performed by Rise Against

    Rise against creates such amazing songs. this song and rise against in general helps me get through so much. I am realizing that i am losing a best friend, who i thought i would never lose, even though she promised me our friendship would never end. This song means a lot.


    Seriously? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Blood To Bleed performed by Rise Against

    To the kid below...
    Try understanding the lyrics behind the song before you label it. One by Metallica isn't some emo song, it's about a WWI soldier who lost all his limbs and all his senses, and his thoughts. Ever seen Johnny get your gun?? For heaven's sake, scenes of the movie are in the video.


    love it! | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Generation Lost performed by Rise Against

    i cant believe this song has so few comments!! i started listening to rise against four years ago right before SSOTCC came out. never have I been disappointed with their music. its not that theyve changed, but as bands grow they branch out a little bit. i guess the more raspy his voice is the more raw it sounds/feels buuuuut you cant say that it isnt as real anymore. not at this point.
    love rise against! keep rocking!


    HEEHEE! | Reviewer: Mikayla
        ------ About the song Ready To Fall performed by Rise Against

    I love this song! SO much! I have to admit that the song that actually drew me into rise against was The Good Left Undone, then Prayer of the Refugee, but this song quickly became my fav. Because, beleive it or not, I have actually felt like this before. This song is beautiful, and no I'm not emo, but it has it's own charm even with the depression in it. In short, Rise against nailed it. I admit that perhaps the only thing preventing me from killing myself would be the people who love me, and so I can relate to this song a lot.

    I <3 it. Brava Rise Against.


    amazing | Reviewer: Tanner
        ------ About the song Chamber The Cartridge performed by Rise Against

    I think this song is about all the pollution were putting in our streets and how no matter what evidence we see, we still believe it's not us causing us, also were letting or future children deal with our mistakes and they wll have to suffer and clean up our messes


    You guys look to much into it | Reviewer: Matt
        ------ About the song Injection performed by Rise Against

    All you guys are looking to much into this song the sub title for this song is heroine so its obviously about his addiction to the drug hence the title injection and give me the drug and now im finally free you guys are stupid


    Awesome | Reviewer: Sand
        ------ About the song Prayer Of The Refugee performed by Rise Against

    I think there's more than one meaning to this song. While it could match all the bigger stories mentioned above, it can also touch on an individual level.

    "Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You won't let me down, down, down!"

    Who hasn't felt that way at some point in their lives, especially in their rebellious teen years?

    Through out the song, it describes individual thoughts held in the head of someone.

    "We are the angry and the desperate,
    The hungry, and the cold,
    We are the ones who kept quiet,
    And always did what we were told."

    While that could hold the emotions of the older person telling his story to the child, it can also hold the thoughts of a teen listening to the song.

    The meaning is different to every person. Awesome song.

        ------ About the song Prayer Of The Refugee performed by Rise Against

    As you should know in my previous message i'm a 11 year old canadian boy. And as for the crashing economy it's not getting any better. Canada has less jobs because of the increaseing loonie and gas prices are skyrocketing. even people who have a good life need to work harder than before to just have transportation. But still people shouldn't just only care about thereselves. donate money to places like the salvation army.

    Now that i'm done saying that i have say go rise against. keep createing meaningfull songs and you'll get fans from all over the world!!!!!!


    BLAH | Reviewer: :)

        ------ About the song The Good Left Undone performed by Rise Against

    This guy plucked a beautiful flower, and took its innocents away, and now he feels guilty cuz every night he can't sleep, and he dreams of drowning in the ocean, and he tries to save it by regrowing the brown petals, but the damage can't be undone... So the good left undone is about the wrong choices we make out of selfishness. Its a BADASS song. LUV IT :)


    Point made across by song and video | Reviewer: Sam
        ------ About the song Ready To Fall performed by Rise Against

    Watching the video this song related to the global stigma we are continuing to live in and how people do not care or understand what problems they are causing to the world. I mean the phrase 'every action of the reaction, we got one planet and one chance' is clearly the reference to our self destructive acts we commence to our world. Believing in Sci Fi is what I am like personally and fleeing to another planet in a form of a spaceship that would time travel would be our solution to the problem, but that would be far too difficult and costly, so the only solution is to change now or look forward to a bleak, miserable and corrupt future. Rise Against rock!

        ------ About the song Everchanging performed by Rise Against

    reading all these other reviews and comments makes me sad. about 2 months ago my g/f and i broke up i borke up with her cuz she cheated on me and she didnt even wanna tell me. her friends ended up tellin me the truth about the whole thing and she dicked over her best friend and me. after that ive turned into an alcoholic and nothing has been the same since ive been a total dick to everyone i kno


    my friend joe told me about this song | Reviewer: Mary
        ------ About the song Swing Life Away performed by Rise Against

    i like the song a lot. my friend joe sent me little pieces of the lyrics on the computer and i pretty much have the lines down. and thats weird because just like some other person that put a comment on here, i really like someone who lives on the othre side of the U.S. he's my bestfriend, and apparently he knows how to pick some really good music. =)


    Fantastic | Reviewer: Anonymous

    Fuckin right | Reviewer: JD
        ------ About the song Survive performed by Rise Against

    Hey just wondering if anybody else is reckons the lyrics are talking about that piont where ur so sick of the small fry bullshit that some idiot is bogged down in and nobody is seeing the big picture... so frustrating when they're all so full of shit worrying about complete crap and then getting the shits with you coz u don't give a shit about wot they're crapping on about...this song is R.A.'s answer to all those beaurocratic idiots that make my day ten times harder than it needs to be.
