Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Furious4String Average	#1 by Furious4String at Sep 21, 1970 at 8:08 AM EST
	I love this song, one of my favorite Rise Against songs. Also, the lyrics should be 6 billion, not 6 million, because I'm pretty sure that's what he says. 6 million doesn't make much sense, but 6 billion does, because there are about 6 billion people in the world.

No Picture Sir Average	#2 by Sir Taco at Jul 26, 1992 at 11:10 PM EST
	The way I look at this song is more of a conversation than anything else. If you listen closely to the tone of the verses compared to te chorus, you can hear the difference in his voice. Also, the meaning of the verses show that the person is trying to talk his friend out of killing himself, whereas in the chorus, the person who may attempt suicide is giving excuses; "I threw a party in my name" says that he tried to reach out and talk to people, and become friends with them, "but the hours crawled by and no one came" means that he was turned away, and finally "so I bowed my head and I prayed for wings to take me from this place... from you" says that he wants to end his life becuse he is alone, but realizes that he is going to lose the one person that cared - the person he's talking to. Then, at the end, the friend is talking, saying that he doesn't care anymore, he tried, but the suicidal one won't listen. Just my $.02

	Good point, Fallen Leaves ;-) But as we're all rock'n'rollers we don't fear the devil!

No Picture Average	#4 by Tree aka Sophie at Nov 6, 1996 at 1:53 AM EST
	im pretty sure that this song is about a self-mutalator (aka a "cutter") that has a low self-esteem and doesnt think much of himself, and thinks that they have no voice or opinion in the world, and that the world doesnt care about him, so they dream of better days when things will get better
