Philipp Sandfort I'm pretty sure a forest is good. Would've been another thing if he sang "we're a city of lives, we're grey and cold" or something like that. Trees are good. We are trees, tall and strong. And we won't let ourselves be cut down = we won't give up.
I always thought rise against was the best out there and still do to this day. They have the most under appreciated lyrics out there I can’t wrap my head around some of these verses & these guys just have some kind of separated sound from any other band that makes them unique
Thought I'd say, even though I'm 16 and have a lot of my life ahead of me, Rise Against has saved my life once. It was with Survive. In all honesty, I owe Tim my life. Bash me for saying this, but it's the truth.
Tim is everything to me. He's the one who inspires me to know that everything actually gets better, and he inspires a lot of different beliefs for not only me but ..everyone. And he has a way of makeing everyone who goes through feeling like nothing and being more than another face in the crowd feel like they're the only face of their Audience of One..... I
you're right. - I also think with the Acoustic versions, we really listen to his lyrics. I think it gathers more attention and awareness. These guys are great and I can't see their music fading away. What I like about them, is that their not commercial and with all honesty - the better!
Well, they're still a commercial band. They have their Mainstream songs (Ex: Audience of One) but what makes them different is 3 things: 1) They don't only talk the talk, they also walk the walk. They spread much awareness and are involved in many organisations 2) Amazing lyrics. Tim McIlrath truely is a poet! 3) Great "live" sound. They're as good on stage than on album which proves they have talent... and lots of it. In the end, RA are musical Gods...
@@No_Control Lol what a wild reply to receive! Thank you for this. Honestly don't really play much anymore. Still play every now and then but basically just to learn songs on my acoustic and play for myself and that's basically it. Sadly, not really looking to create music anymore
i fucking love rise. these men are amazing. and idk how you guys can say one album's better than another. EVERYTHING that comes from them is simply amazing
We've been alright up until now, But the air that we breathe is about to run out. We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud, But the cue never came and the lights, They never went down. So we're passing the time, While time passes us. The fast lanes a term never applied to us. Without a dime to my name, Or a prayer in the world. I walk out the door. Destination anywhere but here. Away from you. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) So I dropped out of my own race, A race with no finish line, No first or last place. These faces all rush right past me. I turn and walk away, Cause we finally know now what our Time here's about, we were not meant to be Another face in the crowd. We're a forest of lives, But we grow tall and wide. We'll never be cut down. Destination anywhere but here. Away from you. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) I'm so tired and turned around and scared. I'm lying in empty beds again. I'll wait for you to come To your senses, barbed-wire fences Won't keep me from breaking through. I swear I will to you. Now I'm on my way to the other side, (On my way) I'll forget everything I left behind. (On my way) These empty rooms, (On my way) Are still filled with you. (On my way) I'm so tired and turned around and scared. I'm lying in empty beds again. Away from you.
damn the high pitched guitar riff is just awesome, it gives a beautiful feel to the song even though it was awesome before hand it just makes it more intense :P
So ya my girlfriend just broke up w/ me, not even telling me she's leaving me for my own friend. It hurts because I know she doesn't have any remorse about doing this to me. However, I've listened to this song as well as about every other Rise Against song, and its honestly the only band that gives me hope for the future and hope for people in general. This band emotionally touches me in ways no other band can. Thumbs up if u think RA is underrated.
