I worked hard all my life until I got sick with kidney disease and ended up losing my job. I went through a hard time and ended up homeless. When I hear the lyrics "We Are The Angry and the desperate, the hungry and the cold" it literally uncontrollably brings tears to my eyes because I exactly know how that feels. As I'm sure many people have, I'm happy to say that I'm in a much better place now and have housing and I'm no longer on the street. During those Hard Times those songs like this that encourage me to keep fighting.
Wow dude that's horrible I'm so sorry that happened I'm so happy that you have a home now. You should definitely share your story and get it out there. Just always remember to keep going when life gets tough, ik I haven't experienced homelessness, I'm only 15, so I don't have room to act like it's easy to keep going when you're forced onto the streets and I won't because it's not, but I can say I've experienced multiple forms of depression and poverty, I have lived in a trailer my whole life and we're always fighting to make ends meet, and it's incredibly hard at times especially with today's economy, but remember to try to keep going and if you need to take a break, take a break otherwise you'll burnout and it'll be even harder to keep going. Life is shit but there's always gonna be a light at the end of the tunnel, you just gotta work hard to find it, and yes, sometimes you'll lose it and it might take years to find it again but I swear you will. I'm so happy for you and so proud that you were able to keep going and you managed to get off the streets. Life's hard, but as long as you have enough support and you keep pushing through you'll make it. I've tried to end my life many many times and have ended up in mental hospitals and while I'm still hanging on by a thread I'm still pushing through because I know people care about me. Just how I know people care about you, I care about you, I'm sure you'll make it, you'll always have my full support dude. I wish you the best of luck.
Also, may I ask, how long were you homeless for and how'd you get out of that situation? Also, how old were you at the time it happened? You don't have to answer any of my questions if you don't want to of course
People tend to forget, sometimes the music is what fuel you need, and sometimes as a lyricist, its the words that touch you. Its a fragile balance and honestly, rise against combines both. Lyrics that bite like rabid dogs and music that stings hard!
+nvshd That's a really insightful observation. Isn't it amazing how artists can use their voices not only as a musical instrument, but also a storytelling device to add emotion and meaning? that's one of the things I love about music.
Am I the only one who gets chills listening to this, especially when the chorus comes around? Idk, something about how it gets all fast makes my heart beat really fast
This song reminds me of people who left me when I stayed with them, but I know that hate won't achieve anything so I smile at them. And to me, this song is about keeping on going despite breaking down inside.
It's the same thing with me the people I looked down on and frowned towards I now smile and forgive them. I realized hate wouldn't get me anywhere but hurt especially because I couldn't let go of the person I was. I haven't dealt with anything as painful since I let go.
I think I'm going to catalogue this comment away for posterity. Future generations will look upon it in awe as the "crowning achievement in misunderstanding figurative language" exhibit, so that our descendents can appreciate this comment.
I live in Greece, in the island of mytilini. There are hordes of boats of people from syria coming here every day. Just tiny plastic boats that have room for 10, but filled with 30. Every day boats sink. The volunteers save children, woman and men who ve lost everything. Every day the sea brings more and more bodies of drowned Syrian refugees that were trying to find a better tomorrow for their families.
I saw them in concert when I was in 8th grade. Amazing concert and I still listen to them today. What is your favorite song by them? Its a tie between this one and Prayer of Refuge for me
I didn't hear anything of Rise Against yet, except this song which I found today. And I really like this song. Didn't listen to the other songs yet, any recommodations? :) EDIT: Guys, this comment is nearly 5 months old. I've heard enough songs. Thanks for giving me some recommodations, no need to reply anymore :D
I'm homeless right now and I'm working my ass off to give my family a better life, when this is over I'm going to get political. people who go without should not suffer more than those who have plenty.
I love Rise Against just as much as the next person, and this song is one of my very favorites, but everybody has a different opinion. That's why we're humans and not Daleks. :)
This is one of my favorite songs to listen to as I fall asleep. Wait, what do you mean I should be woken up by this? Oh, you must be mistaken, I was the baby that listened to Metallica instead of lullabies. Seriously, I'm not joking. I fall asleep while listening to Rise Against because I have Insomnia and only music like this has been helping.
Electric Flame Gaming check out the black dahlia murder album nocturnal. ive fallen asleep to that more than once, gorgoroths instinctus bestialus is also pretty good
LYRICS: [Verse 1] Warm yourself by the fire, sonAnd the morning will come soonI’ll tell you stories of a better timeIn a place that we once knewBefore we packed our bagsAnd left all this behind us in the dustWe had a place that we could call homeAnd a life no one could touch [Chorus] Don’t hold me up nowI can stand my own groundI don’t need your help nowYou will let me down, down, down!Don’t hold me up nowI can stand my own groundI don’t need your help nowYou will let me down, down, down!Down! [Verse 2] We are the angry and the desperateThe hungry and the coldWe are the ones who kept quietAnd always did what we were toldBut we’ve been sweatingWhile you slept so calm in the safety of your homeWe’ve been pulling out the nailsThat hold up everything you’ve known [Chorus] Don’t hold me up now I can stand my own ground I don’t need your help now You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now I can stand my own ground I don’t need your help now You will let me down, down, down! [Bridge] So open your eyes, child Let’s be on our way Broken windows and ashes Are guiding the way Keep quiet no longer We’ll sing through the day Of the lives that we’ve lost And the lives we’ve reclaimed Go! [Chorus] Don’t hold me up now I can stand my own ground I don’t need your help now You will let me down, down, down! Don’t hold me up now I can stand my own ground I don’t need your help now You will let me down, down, down! Down! [Outro] Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help) No! No! No! Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t hold me up! (I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground) Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!
This type of music is the best because it speaks about your true feelings and all the pop or rap music says most of the time is money, sex, power, and stupid love stuff as this does talk about love in the genre but it's the true feelings and I'm obsessed with this song
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. But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, In the safety of your home. We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up Everything you’ve known. Don’t hold me up now, I can stand my own ground, I don’t need your help now, You will let me down, down, down!
+GravelsNotAFood I´verecently made a presentation of this so : Assad the dicatator ( officially its democracy ^^ ) has violently stopped a Protest --> people wanted change ( arabic spring (revolution wave in North Africa ) had a big influence and lead the people to stand up for their rights ) so the Rebels formed who fight assad . in 2014 The IS (islamic state ) was formed by Jihadists and extremists and cecceded from the Rebels (they fight the rebels and the Kurds which also ceceeded from the rebels ) then america started fighting the IS and in 2015 russia started to help assad. Oficcialy russia fights The IS but inoficially he fights the rebels ( trust me i get the news here in europe ) SO --> Refugees spreading all over europe ATM and all states are trying to manage that. The biggest problem i see is that there are many refugees who throw awaay things taht are given to them( which leads many people into thinking xenophobish ). I hope this was explaint well enough and i need to say that I am austrian (not australian ) so english isn´t my native langugeso if i did some shitty mistakes you gotta excuse me =)
And you think you are any better by name calling? Or any more mature than the rest of us by jumping in on the conversation? Yeah, okay, you're the smart one. Anybody else want to continue on, or will you actually come here for the music w/o the intention of arguing with me?
In 2006 when I was 28 my then 13 year old sister played this all the time when I visited over there at my parents home was not familiar with this band but certain u can't help grow on .🎵🎵🎵
I thought that people just shortened Rise Against The Machine to Rise Against. Then I suddenly realized it was another band. I looked their music up, found this video, and awesomeness filled my ears.
I saw the movie since then and I can't remember hearing it haha. I read the book before it was famous (Hipster ugh)and Rise Against has been my favorite bands since before then, plus this is my favorite mellow song (Blood Red, White, & Blue as my fave heavy song). Either way, this song never really stuck out in my head as part of the book heh.
OMG THANK YOU! That's what I've been trying to tell people but all they want to do is sit back and start some type of argument, because in reality, they're home all alone with no friends and they just want the attention. People like that need to learn how to go get a life and actually try to make something of themselves.
I was thinking the same thing! It makes sense, doesn't it? I think he's telling whoever he is talking to, not to hold him up (help him) and that he can stand his own ground (take care of himself), but they won't let him down (they won't let him take care of himself and handle his own problems). At least that's how I view it. This is one of my favorite sons from Rise Against.
+Jacob Altman A few years ago, I found this on my brothers computer in a game called osu. I'm not a 'rock' person. but this song is actually real good.
There's probably some deep, psychoanalytic reason I hear "I can steal my own crown" instead of "I can stand my own ground" and I'm not sure I want to know it.
Emily Black Emily Black is not just u who hear that :D but honestly i hear same phrase in diferents ways like first time is "I can steal my own crown" when he says agains sounds like "I can stand my own ground" maybe we want to hear he say "I can steal my own crown"
Marcelo Henrique It sounds a bit more rebellious and badass. I can steal my own crown sounds like a rebellion for change while I can stand my own ground sounds like survival.
Emily Black Its a double entendre miss, happens a lot. sometimes on purpose sometimes unintentional, A lot of rappers do it, its saying something one way that can be heard or understood multiple ways, a little gem of poetry if you will, its not in the textbooks, at least it wasnt in my highschool haha.
This song could be dedicated to all the people at the border of mexico at this moment who is trying to be in the united states and is being treated like animals from the texas goverment!
it reminds me of my book because it has to do with a long ago past, and losing lives and reclaiming others.and leaving every thing behind in the dust, and pulling out the nails supporting there enemies.
wow, Ok first off i am 14. second of all, you must have some life if you enjoy going and finding random kids less significant at grammar than you so you can trick yourself into thinking that you are better and more important than the rest of this world. god made you for reason. find a way to put it to good use. Isaiah Washburn
malachi talbott yeah I agree with you good story line but I have a concern what if this song is actually coming true? Look at the increase of the homeless people on the streets. But hell it's just a song for some but for the others it's life
This song is about running away from things or a person that you believe will only hurt you in the end. So you run before it's too late. "You can't let me down!" Prayer refugee. Perfect fucking song ever.
I'm apache, I hope you criticized those white people who took my ancestors and punished them because they had Fucken guns. Real natives don't celebrate Columbus day! Anyways back to the song...
Real natives say, "fuck thanksgiving," too. Grandma was Lakota Sioux, I'm a quarter. We had family dinner, not Thanksgiving. I'm basically a counterfeit white guy, a term I heard on a Patrice O'Niel and Lious CK radio bit.

People tend to forget, sometimes the music is what fuel you need, and sometimes as a lyricist, its the words that touch you. Its a fragile balance and honestly, rise against combines both. Lyrics that bite like rabid dogs and music that stings hard!
RaspX Aseron Yes!
I agree but lyrics mean alot because I'm a poet. Words are meaningful and powerful.
True
I'm on both sides as an author/song writer and guitar/piano player my mind is always trying to find a balance to words and music.
If you're a refugee. Only if, because we don't experience this
My dad played this when I was a kid, I was listening to spotify when I got to it. I can’t believe I forgot this song. I love it so much!
I love how he sounds like he's screaming/crying the chorus and also sounds kind of surprised that he doesn't need anyone's help anymore.
+nvshd That's a really insightful observation. Isn't it amazing how artists can use their voices not only as a musical instrument, but also a storytelling device to add emotion and meaning? that's one of the things I love about music.
right I love how much emotion you can hear in his voice
Truer words were never spoken. Songs that you can truly hear the emotion and meaning are true music no matter what a generation prefers.
I hear anger in his voice. For the right reasons

The main riff kinda sounds like Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee
Um...
This IS Prayer of the refugee
no shit sherlock
are you stupid?
Autumn Mathers Everyone...hes fucking with you..
One of the angriest songs I've ever heard..... Love it.
Great tune no doubt. But if you wanna hear "angry", you should listen to Lamb of God 😅

i bet 5 years later after this comment you changed your mind about refugees lol
Why do the rich Arab countries not take them in? Because we're the fools to forfeit our inheritance to people who will be our enemy.

i love this song because so many people have let me down and i can fit into the message of the song

Oh, you must be mistaken, I was the baby that listened to Metallica instead of lullabies. Seriously, I'm not joking.

Electric Flame Gaming, i used to rock justice for all every night to fall asleep.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Warm yourself by the fire, sonAnd the morning will come soonI’ll tell you stories of a better timeIn a place that we once knewBefore we packed our bagsAnd left all this behind us in the dustWe had a place that we could call homeAnd a life no one could touch
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up nowI can stand my own groundI don’t need your help nowYou will let me down, down, down!Don’t hold me up nowI can stand my own groundI don’t need your help nowYou will let me down, down, down!Down!
[Verse 2]
We are the angry and the desperateThe hungry and the coldWe are the ones who kept quietAnd always did what we were toldBut we’ve been sweatingWhile you slept so calm in the safety of your homeWe’ve been pulling out the nailsThat hold up everything you’ve known
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
[Bridge]
So open your eyes, child
Let’s be on our way
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way
Keep quiet no longer
We’ll sing through the day
Of the lives that we’ve lost
And the lives we’ve reclaimed
Go!
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Down!
[Outro]
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!
I love how when I first heard Rise Against, They where barely known. Now they have a mental fanbase!
Thanks guitar hero
I swear you guys keep me so entertained after I come home from my jobs :)
Just saw this guy's live and it was pretty fucking amazing one of the best concerts I gone to.
Fact. I saw them with AFI fucking amazing.
Rise against's lyrics in general are deeper and better than most of the Beatles songs ,
Give all of ur hate u Hipsters
how do those two bands relate? dont they produce difference genre's of music from each other?
Lyrics are genre free. that's how u relate them
Mos'ab abumarzouk fuck off mate
Weird enough this wonderful badass song reminds me of summer, beaches, sunsets, cool soothing winds and so.
O show deles é uma vibe sensacional

In the safety of your home.

Everything you’ve known.
Don’t hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don’t need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

This song is pretty relevant of what's happening in europe right now...
+joedalton155 am thinkin the same thing right now
+joedalton155 Sorry to be an ignorant asshat, but what is happening?
GravelsNotAFood Because of ISIS, there is a lot of war refugees flowing in europe, mostly from syria.
+joedalton155 not just because of ISIS, only around 1/5th of the aprox. over 1million refugees coming to my country (germany)this year are from syria
+GravelsNotAFood I´verecently made a presentation of this so :
Assad the dicatator ( officially its democracy ^^ ) has violently stopped a Protest --> people wanted change ( arabic spring (revolution wave in North Africa ) had a big influence and lead the people to stand up for their rights )
so the Rebels formed who fight assad . in 2014 The IS (islamic state ) was formed by Jihadists and extremists and cecceded from the Rebels (they fight the rebels and the Kurds which also ceceeded from the rebels )
then america started fighting the IS and in 2015 russia started to help assad.
Oficcialy russia fights The IS but inoficially he fights the rebels ( trust me i get the news here in europe )
SO --> Refugees spreading all over europe ATM and all states are trying to manage that. The biggest problem i see is that there are many refugees who throw awaay things taht are given to them( which leads many people into thinking xenophobish ). I hope this was explaint well enough and i need to say that I am austrian (not australian ) so english isn´t my native langugeso if i did some shitty mistakes you gotta excuse me =)

A mashup of this with savior... Perfect
hmm all i know is God never lets anyone down.....and we can't live without Him....
I keep thinking of Merlin from the BBC show.
Dunno why
good show
I adore this song ♥
When I here this song, I think deeply to the poor Ukrainians which lost their home cause of one russian Dictator! Stop Putin
*Ukrainians
@@kittykittybangbang9367 thank you it was a typo 😉
@@justchris5153 you're welcome
I saw the movie since then and I can't remember hearing it haha. I read the book before it was famous (Hipster ugh)and Rise Against has been my favorite bands since before then, plus this is my favorite mellow song (Blood Red, White, & Blue as my fave heavy song). Either way, this song never really stuck out in my head as part of the book heh.
so open your eyes child let be on our way broken windows ashes are guiding the way i really connect to that line so much
When I hear this song, I think of the dwarves from The Hobbit.
I can see that xD
I like u
Or the Khajiit from Skyrim from a certain prospective
*remembers Battle of the Five Armies and cries*
When I hear this song, I think of your mom😛
I think of Fallout 3...
This son really hits hard with everything is happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦 🥺🥺
ok
🐑
OMG THANK YOU! That's what I've been trying to tell people but all they want to do is sit back and start some type of argument, because in reality, they're home all alone with no friends and they just want the attention. People like that need to learn how to go get a life and actually try to make something of themselves.
I was thinking the same thing! It makes sense, doesn't it? I think he's telling whoever he is talking to, not to hold him up (help him) and that he can stand his own ground (take care of himself), but they won't let him down (they won't let him take care of himself and handle his own problems). At least that's how I view it. This is one of my favorite sons from Rise Against.
I've heard this song somewhere but I can't remember where.
Jonathan Kimmel guitar hero 3?
maybe
It reminds me of U2's 'The Refugee,' from War (1983?).
Jonathan Kimmel Here?
It was on one of the guitar hero games im pretty sure
2015 anyone?
Eww eww ME PICK ME IM IN 2015
+Jacob Altman A few years ago, I found this on my brothers computer in a game called osu.
I'm not a 'rock' person. but this song is actually real good.
Nah bro I'm coming at you from 04
Nope 2004
2004
love this song
I was playing this song on Guitar Hero III a LOT yesterday, I never knew there was a Rise Against song on there before yesterday. :]
One of the favorite bands of my lifetime!
1440p? i never knew it went that high
it can go to 4k!!????
RustyMote dyammmmmnnnnnnn
fargo jiffy their is 4kp tvs for $400,000 only a 10 inch monitor though still under developement
Travis Weller Because you need a 4k tv to run any game in 4k or even 8k, lolz
I thought 1440 = 2K?
Sing this in a high voice like a sad song *single *
There's probably some deep, psychoanalytic reason I hear "I can steal my own crown" instead of "I can stand my own ground" and I'm not sure I want to know it.
Emily Black Emily Black is not just u who hear that :D but honestly i hear same phrase in diferents ways like first time is "I can steal my own crown" when he says agains sounds like "I can stand my own ground" maybe we want to hear he say "I can steal my own crown"
Marcelo Henrique It sounds a bit more rebellious and badass. I can steal my own crown sounds like a rebellion for change while I can stand my own ground sounds like survival.
Emily Black i totally agree with u :D
"Starbucks lovers"
Emily Black Its a double entendre miss, happens a lot. sometimes on purpose sometimes unintentional, A lot of rappers do it, its saying something one way that can be heard or understood multiple ways, a little gem of poetry if you will, its not in the textbooks, at least it wasnt in my highschool haha.
This song could be dedicated to all the people at the border of mexico at this moment who is trying to be in the united states and is being treated like animals from the texas goverment!
Good Job Band...Your Upright in rightly DEVINE...
Love it
Applies perfectly for the Palestinian Diaspora
wow, this song explains the book swipe by evan angler. awesome book, great story line
it reminds me of my book because it has to do with a long ago past, and losing lives and reclaiming others.and leaving every thing behind in the dust, and pulling out the nails supporting there enemies.
really, that was a while back ago. Isaiah Washburn
wow, Ok first off i am 14. second of all, you must have some life if you enjoy going and finding random kids less significant at grammar than you so you can trick yourself into thinking that you are better and more important than the rest of this world. god made you for reason. find a way to put it to good use. Isaiah Washburn
Isaiah Washburn .
malachi talbott yeah I agree with you good story line but I have a concern what if this song is actually coming true? Look at the increase of the homeless people on the streets. But hell it's just a song for some but for the others it's life
This song is about running away from things or a person that you believe will only hurt you in the end. So you run before it's too late.
"You can't let me down!"
Prayer refugee.
Perfect fucking song ever.
The nostalgia of this is brings tears to my eyes.
Bruh, this is the song right here when I don't need help from my weak, little ass brother. I wished that he was less indolent.
This reminds me of Shadow The Hedgehog.... who's with me?
+Ashley Atkins i think it does, has that kind of heavy roughness
Milky The Reindeer listen to almost dead by powerman 5000 that's Shadow the Hedgehog the game's theme song
listening to this song while writing about the Trail of Tears coincidence I think NOT!
I'm apache, I hope you criticized those white people who took my ancestors and punished them because they had Fucken guns. Real natives don't celebrate Columbus day! Anyways back to the song...
Real natives say, "fuck thanksgiving," too. Grandma was Lakota Sioux, I'm a quarter. We had family dinner, not Thanksgiving. I'm basically a counterfeit white guy, a term I heard on a Patrice O'Niel and Lious CK radio bit.
*Pours whole bottle of mustard on your sandwich*
I've never seen so much originality in my life before.
