Top 10 Rise Against Lyrics
Possibly the most quotable band of all time, Rise Against's lyrics are what make them the band they are. Every song is filled to the brim with genius quotes begging to be repeated again and again. It's a daunting question, it's one that must be answered; What are Rise Against's best lyrical moments?The lyrics of this song speak so much to me. Whenever I feel down, I remember that there are so many bad times in life. In the end, it all comes down to how you survive because it shows you what you can do. It proves that you are not weak. Nobody is weak because we have all been through our personal hell or will have to face it. Still, we can survive because we are not alone. We can survive, and we will survive, and that is what makes us who we are. So, if you are feeling down, don't give up. You can do this!
This lyric speaks to the person who saved you from yourself. They weren't perfect, but they picked up your pieces when you had nothing left to give and helped put you back together.
Just reading these lyrics gives me chills, not to mention singing them out loud! Though Rise Against has so many great lyrics, it's hardly fair to say this is the best one.
This hits home and is very relatable. Anyone who's had to say goodbye to someone they truly loved would understand.
There are situations where both people have feelings for each other, but one (in this case 'she') only wants to save 'him' and feels empathy for him, but not love. It's a one-sided love ending in a hurtful situation where no one escapes without a broken heart.
I think the "girl" is Mother Nature trying to save "him," which is the human race.
The lyrics say, I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have, but yeah, powerful words.
Think of how much this relates to modern-day issues with war. We are still fighting in Iran and Iraq after 10 years (I might be wrong, not that updated on current events). All the horrible things people go through in war, yet our country praises and awards the deed of killing another person. We are all people. No one should forget that. We can only win the human race together, and Rise Against hits these opinions of mine perfectly.
Everyone dreams of living in the U.S., but when we are out at war, we kill innocent human beings who don't deserve to be threatened.
Would you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate, or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
I'm thinking about getting this phrase as a tattoo. I'm kind of having a hard time figuring out whether it should be placed on my ribs (right side) or neck.
Paper Wings might lyrically be in the top 5 lists of best songs ever.
Some people feel so bad from a broken heart, and when they get up, they come back stronger. Some enter depression, others consider ending their lives, but those who raise their faces and try again to find love aren't weak or cowardly - they're very strong. I can speak from personal experience. I've had 9 heartbreaks in my 15 years of life and went through a horrible depression. This quote resonates with me because I continued, no matter how difficult it was or would be. Now, I have found someone I love who loves me back. Even though she's far away in another city, we continue our romance, no matter how tough things get.
It just hits so hard. One of my best friends was bi and committed suicide because of all the bullying.
Addresses one of the biggest problems of our time - missing acceptance and harassment.
This is the saddest and one of the most important things. I'm so thankful for Rise Against.
Beautiful quote, it speaks so much with so few words. I'm definitely using this for my senior quote next year in high school.
I love this quote and this song. It speaks to the generational divide of recent years, where elders' hope has turned to bitterness, while the young keep fighting.
These lyrics speak a sad truth that most people don't realize. If you only go through the motions and never try new things and explore, you're not really alive. You're mindlessly going through life.
Strong words, telling a truth that sadly too many people don't want to see. You need to do something to be alive. It will never be enough just to breathe and work like a machine.
Super inspiring, something to live by and strive to reach.
It's correct. The line "Don't you know it's better to live on your feet, than to die on your knees" follows the first line, meaning that if you have the choice not to do something, you shouldn't do it.
"You had it backwards! Don't you know it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees?" Gotta love those Catch-22 quotes.
It's my favorite Rise Against song. I love the lyrics and the music, but it makes me sad what happened with the people in September.
My favorite lyrics of all their songs. I love so much the hope we can see in these sentences.
I absolutely love this song, but especially this quote.
This has to be my favorite lyric from any of their songs. There is such truth in it.
I think this is one of the deepest quotes in a Rise Against song so far. It speaks to me about standing up for what I believe in and not being stopped, no matter who is in front of me. This is a very moving quote, and it's from an underrated song, "Anywhere But Here."
In my opinion, this is the very best Rise Against quote. It's unbelievable how such a deep message is conveyed in so few words. Anywhere But Here generally has very good lyrics, but this line is epic.
