When asked about the negative message of this song Tim replied with this "I never thought about the negative perception of the song until someone told me about it later. And I didn’t want it to be like that; I wanted it to be this escapist thing, that moment when you realize, “I’m not down with this environment that I’m in, this relationship I’m in, this world I’m in or this headspace I’m in, and I want to get out and escape.” And it was that moment of finally being fed up and saying, “Fuck this. I want out.” And to me it’s a really positive thing, especially if the thing you want out of is dangerous or damaging or negative. The song is about that moment. It’s not even about the answer; it’s about that moment of clarity, where you go, “I’m over this. Let’s move on from here.” So it didn’t really mean it as a negative thing, but I see how it could be construed that way"
This is how I feel right now. i just want to sell everything I own get my cdl so I can be a trucker and just travel the U.S. Why cause I fucking hate leaving in the same damn place with dead end jobs around this shit town. All i got is a few close friends and the rest the people here aint going anywhere. Few more months and I am out of here no matter what. end rant duces
To be fair i never got the kind of negative feeling out of it. I've been struggling with emotional and psychological hangups, including manic clinical depression for the longer time of 6 years now, and i understood that this song was supposed to make me feel like i dont *need* to take it anymore, and just force change on my own. Its a powerful message thats sadly been misconstrued immensely.
This bands has been consistently good. True to their style through their whole career, while somehow not becoming boring and irrelevant. Not many bands achieve that.
I just wanna say whoever's struggling today and listening to this song, don't give up, find your passion and hold onto it for dear life. Love this song!
I love how Rise Against will never sell out. They are something of their own, now been a fan for nearly 5 years! Hoping to see them live in Norway again sometime
***** Serbia. Kevin Haas Only world famous bands might show up on the Exit festival, like the Guns'n'Roses did in 2012. Other than that, it's only performers from the region.
Kevin Haas They're not really one of the most popular bands in the US, compared to Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, RHCP, ... They are however one of the biggest punk bands.
Not sold out? Kidding me?? They've been sold out since the sufferer and the witness: - First of all, if they were not sold out they would not give up singles on itunes. - Don't tell me that their new music is the way they changed , evolved. That's just an excuse a band shoot out when they're actually sold out, to get non-punks fans listenning to pop music ( The offspring too and Green day too). Where is the punk style? -They're not on their own, as they're with some major labels. -They're fucking rich ( Coming from the fact that they're always headling a festival , or almost) .Where is the punk life? You know punk is not only about lyrics, but also the way you live... oh and by the way NHL 14, Watch Dogs ,etc... all videogames from big corporations. - Also the fact that in these festivals, they sell their Merch for an high price ( 30$ at the Rockfest for example) .By the way the way they sell their merch ruins the local bands. -They're one of the biggest bands in the USA/Canada , yea... coming from the fact that they're playing on radio, and they're doing shows in Arena... Of course RA is sold out, and is ok if you like their new music ( i don't personnaly), but don't tell me that they're punk or not sold out.... sorry for my bad english, i'm french ahha
RokeyGames I'd disagree. Based on this song it doesn't seem like it's gonna sound like RPM. RPM felt more raw. Not saying that's better or worse, though I do prefer their older stuff.
RokeyGames This song is definitely a step in the harder direction, but it sounds nothing like RPM. RPM was much much more raw and punk like(with screams, screeching guitars, and Tim's more rusty voice). RPM also didn't have any of the pop punk elements which this song has, like the "woahs" or "heys." Don't get me wrong I still love this song, but it sounds more like a mix between Endgame and The Sufferer and the Witness.
Anyway, people, let's stop this pointless discussion right here. It is a new track from Rise Against, that can only mean one thing... IT IS FREAKING AWESOME!
This song to me perfectly encapsulates the feeling many people have about the American Dream. As George Carlin says "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."
People who say stupid shit like that usually aren't very well traveled. Have you been outside of the United States much? There's a reason why everyone else in the world would rather live here than wherever they were born. No place is perfect, but America is by far the best place to be. It's better to be poor and American than to be financially successful somewhere else. It's the best country ever built in human history, by far.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Saying that America is the best country in the world is a bit too much, especially because it is a very subjective subject. But anything else you say is indeed correct. America it is, without doubt, one of the best countries in the world and yes, it is better to be born there poor than "rich" elsewhere. Cheers from someone who wasn't as lucky as you guys.
@@vitortomazi6471 to be fair though; America does kinda place near the top of almost any category, and when you add all that together it does basically make it on top of everywhere else. Im not American either, I just find it hard to actually specify a better place without it just being "well, I'm from here so... Here!"
Chris Ray Sound like every single song of them to me. lol Anyway, I was just making a joke. I think that for a lot of people sound like Sufferer and the Witness... Almost the same, just lyrics changed.
To anyone here struggling with depression... We all can do this ... We have our highs and lows regardless of your background or past... No matter your family or living situation. We are all here for a reason and won't be able to find out what that reason is unless we make it through to the next day... Nobody is better then anyone else or has it better or worse... We all go through shit so together lets wipe our shoes off in the dead grass and fookin march to the beat of our own drum... Don't let anyone break you down or Rip apart your dreams... You got this!!! This is your life!!! And every breath is worth the while... Thank you!
The non lyric video actually made me cry.. It's nice too see that people actually see the madness that is happening in this world. Great song Rise Against! :)
Not gonna lie, this goes for just about any of their songs. Look up the AOL Undercover sessions they did. The acoustic version of Prayer of the Refugee is surprisingly good.
Anyone struggling with depression anxiety being bullied anything. You are not alone and you matter ok. Keep pushing keep fighting you demons. You got this ok✨
My dad got me into rise against when i was about 4 years old. 1 year later when i was 5... i knew every song title by heart. Im now 16 and i just listened every one of their songs for the first time in 9+ years. The memories and the nostalgia of these songs gave me chills and im listening to them every day since. It is definetly one of my favorite band.
Rise Against is, in my opinion, one of the only bands that makes TRULY good music and conveys a message in every song. They are the only band whose music makes me think about the world and our country. Their music even helps me cope with anxiety and depression. I don't know if all of you think this way about them, but I hope you do.
I really can't see any reason why anyone would dislike this band. They're not the fanciest band, but their music has a very big impact and they're just great song writers all around. I would like to see them one day.
So many people knocking this album. I love this song. I don't care if every song on this album isn't my new favorite Rise Against song of all time, i'm pumped for the new music, and i definitely dig this tune.
I'm a die hard fan from the beginning. I remember seeing them headline a show at my favorite concert venue not to long after The Sufferer & the Witness album was released. That was the best live show I have witnessed thus far in my life. When they played "Survive" something clicked in my head, "this is the song that will define you for the rest of your life." The next day I made an appointment for my next tattoo, and two weeks later I was officially a die hard fan with "How We Survive Is What Makes Us Who We Are" in black ink stretching from my waist to the top of my ribs. I have been waiting for Rise Against to hit a venue some where close to me for several years now. The current tour Rise Against is on with Lincoln Park happens to be making a stop in my area. I have no doubt that this show will rank as high as the first time I saw them. The show would be truly epic if the set list included Survive, Help is On the Way, and my newest found favorite I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore.
Should check out The Hunting Party. Linkin Park went more metal, heavier than they've ever been, and it's fantastic. This is by far one of my favourite songs by Rise Against. as a footnote.
Thanks for mentioning the Linkin Park album for one because I don't have the album and have heard mixed things but mostly really good reviews from people with musical taste and another it lead to see The Black Market has leaked, sweet! and yes I will buy the album when its released the impatience is getting to me lol
I get so mad when people say Rise Against have made 5 albums that sound exactly the same... Rise Against has made 6 albums that sound exactly the same!
i don't know if this was a troll or not but their records don't all sound the same entirely. their earlier stuff was a lot different sounding than their newer stuff, not to mention endgame had a different feel with every one of their songs. This song i do agree takes us back to the Appeal to Reason album but then again this is only one song, it could be different
I suffer from depression. This song uplifts me because the lyrics help fight the voices. "I don't want to be here anymore" to me is saying that I don't want to be trapped in my mind anymore
I was deputy sheriff for 7 years. This song perfectly could describe those years. As a rookie I was excited. As time progressed, the things you see begin to affect you. You can't forget the sights. The smells. The faces. The photographs. The details. I got fired from that job, because I didn't charge a known shitbag for a crime he didn't commit. By the time I got fired though, the job was no longer enjoyable. It became agonizing work. And when it starts to weigh you down, they tell you to be more proactive in your patrol. So you get proactive, then they say you make too many traffic stops. Nobody asks if you need help. You just gotta deal. I didn't want to be there anymore and it almost cost me everything. I'm better now though.
I know how you feel. I work as a Security Guard and I feel the same way. I dread being called in to work and getting ready to go to work is more of a struggle every day. Most companies in the security industry consistently disrespect, undervalue and underpay their staff.
I still am one. It’s hard at times, especially on midnights. Also, it’s your discretion to charge a person-the department can’t tell you who to charge and who not to??
As for me, I love everything Rise Against has made, from The Unraveling to Endgame. Each album has a unique flavor that I like to listen to individually for individual moods. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the extreme angsty punk of 'Six Ways 'Til Sunday' and sometimes I'm in in the mood for the melodic sound of 'Audience of One'. All in all, I welcome yet another new flavor of Rise Against!
I'm proud to say Rise Against made me Straight Edge, thanks to Tim. Keep up the excellent work, I love every single album, I'm a huge fan of the lyrics in the more Controversial songs, and most people think it's weird that I listen to the lyrics and only then do I pay attention to the music. Either way, this band is fucking awesome.
Cool song, it seems like this time a round some of the songs (this song and restless world) are more introspective (writing songs about personal concepts and experiences) rather than political. Which is cool, it's something that Rise Against have done a lot in their very first album, the unraveling. All of their other albums contained mostly political and social commentaries, so an introspective approach to the lyrics is a nice addition. I am very interested to see how the rest of the album is.
The cool thing is that this song can be interpretyed politically as well. You could argue that it's about refusing to put up with the political situation in the USA/the world. On the other hand, it does seem very introspective.
NomTheFood A lot of their songs are like that. IE: Audience of One is supposed to be political according to the music video, yet on lyrics alone, it gives a completely different message. I prefer to follow the lyrical message (losing friends and growing up) over the political message.
I like the fact that bands like Rise Against exist. It's nice to hear songs pertaining to world issues rather than the average pop song. I especially enjoy that they still have that "Rise Against" style. Just as shown in all of their albums!
People in these comments are yelling at other people for telling here theyre depressed. You dont have to have a bad life to be depressed. I have kinda everything. I have food, a warm home, my famliy, but i struggle with Depression, because i've been bullied for 7 years. Dont tell them that theres worse. What might leave a scratch on you, might kill somebody else.
xD i had the same when listening to endgame for the first time and compared it to appeal to reason xD great music, but it does not hold much surprises anymore
I feel like this song is a successor of "Prayer of the refugee". Thematically in first they demand to be accepted by society and in this they are just fed up with it.
It's annoying how people criticize(d) this one song and/or compare it to Rise Against's other albums. I really don't see one thing wrong with this song; along with specific musical things that make up this song, the message or meaning of it is just as strong as the many other songs they've made, all of which, to me, are both astonishing and plain awesome. If this album is not what you expected or "wanted", you're not being much of a grateful fan; don't be so picky and ignorant to not realize that Rise Against made the music how they see fit, despite the style changing in minor or moderate ways. Hands down, they created great songs for this album with a style they were or are still comfortable with, clearly, as they've done with their past albums; I commend them for that and I'm proud to be a fan of them. Overall, don't be so ungrateful; be glad they still create great music. :D
This band and the lyrics feel so close to my own thoughts its truly amazing!! I feel every word and every acoustic that relieves my sense of being alone in my head. Rise against is my favorite band.
Pretty much listened to their new album like 50 times on the iTunes Radio and dear god it's amazing. Every song is just pure gold. I can't pick a favorite, they're all so good
This song is very important to me, because right after my grandma passed away two years ago, the only thing that kept me going was this one part: "something has to die to be reborn", and I still have a very old recipe of hers and one day I'll tattoo this very quotation using her handwriting... Thank you, Rise Against, for always being by my side in the dark times
What do you people want? If a band sounds different it's a problem. If a band sticks to their true genre/sound it's a problem. Make up your mind already. I personally love this song. I can relate to this. The music sounds great.
it will allways be people like that.. and rise agaisnt is by far the band where that happens the most.. im a big fan of linkin park too, check out their new songs here on youtube just to read the comments and you'll see whats to have retarded people talking shit with no sense. most of that people doesnt even know how much work they have to do to make such amazing song like this one. its better just to let them talk shit, the bands know the "real fans" :)
DyO DM Linkin Park is the type of band where I wish they kept the same sound. Meteora and Hybrid Theory were awesome but their new shit just isn't that good.
klavier285 isnt that good? just because you dont enjoy it, it doesnt mean it isnt good, open your mind, they're improving their style for a "new rock".. and meteora and hybrid theory was from 2000/04.. i mean for fck sake we're at 2014. 10 years difference, its time to try new stuff. and LP are the only ones that i can see they're working on it. like i said before, open your mind, its all about that, its not about the songs/band, its about people.
This song isn't necessarily about suicide it's all about how you see and hear the lyrics, I see it as I'm not happy with who I've become or the situation I'm currently in, " I don't want to be here anymore..." It could be a catalyst for change and an opportunity for change and improvement... It's all about how you see things... For those of you who feel like your situation will dictate the rest of your life.. Please don't give up cuz you can make things better, use this song as inspiration not confirmation...
I think that's what's great about it, it can be applied to so many things, living in poverty, living with an abuser, being depressed for me it feels more like the period after I was depressed, after I'd worked through most of my shit I found myself more or less alone, I didn't have anyone to share that joy with, I'd just begun living a life that others had been living for five years, it feels like being in the same place with a different mindset, but it's getting better, because I'm making it so, because I don't want to be here anymore
Soap Sud Gaming Now I wouldn't defend the song with my life. I may like the song but its not worth fighting for people who fight for any song are very illogical, I'm just saying that its a good song at least to me I know that not every body likes this song. every body has their likes and dislikes but I know that I will not fight for this song its not worth my time.
Love Rise Against love all their songs and albums. If you don't agree that is cool, but this is my favorite band and their music brings me always to a good place.
On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall We count the days scratching lines on the wall Wait in the wings at someone's beck and call No longer recognize the place that I call home No longer recognize this face as my own Somewhere this fate, I lost control We backed down, we took no for answers far too long We felt those walls close around I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore, I'm listening with one foot out the door And something has to die to be reborn and I don't want to be here anymore On hand and foot we answered every single call Weathered every day like passing storms But when we break we will all be gone Won't back down, won't take no for answers anymore These walls close, we pace back and forth I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore, I'm listening with one foot out the door But something has to die to be reborn I don't want to be here anymore The point where we break is closer everyday But where do we go? But where do we go? I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore I don't want to be here anymore I know there's nothing left worth staying for Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa See I don't think I can fight this anymore, I'm listening with one foot out the door But something has to die to be reborn and I don't want to be here anymore Anymore...
The thing that makes this band, is they dont dumb their sound down for dumb fucking radio plays, they give their loyal fanbase the music that they fell in love with at the start even ten+ years later, so on behalf of all of us Thank you Rise Against
Alot of people are saying this sounds like Sufferer and the Witness and Siren Song of the Counter Culture. I don't here it in the two songs they've released for this album though. I think this is a new strain of Rise Against with the same raw vocals as before, but with a better ability to hit notes, and cleaner guitars. Tim's singing voice is the best sounding from all his previous albums. And have you heard his screaming in Eco Terrorist? He rocks both clean/ and unclean vocals.
My mom recently had a big health scare and when she went in for an MRA this song came on on the radio and it really helped her through it a lot. Thank you so much Rise Against!
to anyone who's deployed or mobilized in Iraq, afghanistan or any Palestinian providence this song has a deeper meaning. for many of us it's about coming home and being tired of the surroundings. prayers to my brothers.
Keep making your music rise against. You guys are one of my favorite bands and we need more people like you in the world. So thank you for speaking out and trying to help people.
I find it funny how the same people who comment about rise against sounding exactly the same on all of their music are the same people who criticize Linkin park for not being exactly the same as their first 2 albums like how does that make sense
lolumad77711 Yeah people just wanna be critical. Like people, bands change. Concepts build. Ideas sprout. Problem arises. These bands are just addressing what is in their hearts in a way they feel that is best approachable for their audience. They spend quite a deal thinking of their lyrics and songs. When I first heard this song I knew it was Rise Against no questions asked. Was it that much different from other Rise Against songs not really. To me I still think it is great.
I guess there is a reason why this song has almost 10 million views. Sociocultural circumstances and political actions, driven by economic interest, destroying the health of the youth is NOT okay.
A lyrical masterpiece with which I totally agree. Government and corporations are bleeding us dry and most people are either oblivious or just watch as it happens, unwilling to do the hard work to change it. "Your paradise is something I've endured," Great freakin lyric. Says it all for me.
I've been nothing but good my whole life (or so I've thought) I'm the most caring person you could meet but this world does nothing but take and I just don't know how much more I can handle
Offspring, Rise Against, Pennywise, Bad Religion, and Authority Zero. Kings of Hardcore Punk Rock music. With bad Religion at the top of course being the Godfathers of modern age Punk Rock.
hardcore punkrock? this is great bands and music you listed but they are not really considered hardcore. check out 'madball' (infiltrate the system is a good song to start with). 'Sick Of It All' is more on the hardcore end of punk too. The album 'death to tyrants' is incredibly powerfull. give it a try mate. 🤘
To everyone who said they feel this way; I feel the same way. You're in my hearts and your in my thoughts, and I wish you the best wherever you end up.
Damn. Living here in north Mexico shits crazy. I'm a fucking college graduate, I work hard, and still I'm struggling and broke. What a shithole this is, damn. Sometimes, this shit feels as if being alive is a fucking curse or some shit.
If you can, save up and move to Canada. I would normally recommend moving to America, but knowing how crazy things are here, I wouldn't want you to have to face the same bullshit. Anywhere other than America is the way to go.
Whenever I feel uncomfortable in a particular situation, I always sing the chorus, it calms me down. It particularly calms me down when I'm getting nervous and scared because of my fear of heights or even when I'm mad or even when I don't know what I'm doing and I feel overwhelmed.
Things get better. Time heals. Everyone feels and sad times in their life. You just have to accept what is happening and tell yourself things will get better. Feeling sorry for yourself won't change the situation.
+Troy Dazzle i strongly agree, you have to accept yourself, realize your own flaws and the fact that you cant change them. be who you are and everything is gonna be alright.

It sounds absolutely amazing! Looks like the new album will contain a lot of punk.
I mean that this sounds more like Revolutions per minute, which was clearly one of the more punk albums of Rise Against.

It is like a time machine

Sounds like Sufferer and the Witness to me.
YES!
Dude i know i can't wait. Btw i like your videos.
dude i just see one of your covers last night, amazing (Y)
All of their songs sound similar if you haven't notice. Not many bands can pull it off and still be good.
By far their best album.
Chris Ray Sound like every single song of them to me. lol Anyway, I was just making a joke. I think that for a lot of people sound like Sufferer and the Witness... Almost the same, just lyrics changed.

Great song Rise Against! :)

Agreed 100%
Well said.
True
You speak through my soul
This song for me is pure freedom... Don't give up, always try to scape from those horrible places, like in my case home.
I feel an acoustic version would sound amazing, anyone else?
Yes
Yes. Just yes. Yes.
Oh ya, was thinking the same thing
would sound amazing indeed,
if they did that there would be 2 amazing versions
Not gonna lie, this goes for just about any of their songs.
Look up the AOL Undercover sessions they did. The acoustic version of Prayer of the Refugee is surprisingly good.
Anyone struggling with depression anxiety being bullied anything. You are not alone and you matter ok. Keep pushing keep fighting you demons. You got this ok✨
My dad got me into rise against when i was about 4 years old. 1 year later when i was 5... i knew every song title by heart. Im now 16 and i just listened every one of their songs for the first time in 9+ years. The memories and the nostalgia of these songs gave me chills and im listening to them every day since. It is definetly one of my favorite band.
Same thing happened to me. I can’t complain though, the feeling of finding old songs is amazing, especially ones like these
Rise Against is, in my opinion, one of the only bands that makes TRULY good music and conveys a message in every song. They are the only band whose music makes me think about the world and our country. Their music even helps me cope with anxiety and depression. I don't know if all of you think this way about them, but I hope you do.
Jared LaGrandeur Me too! My mental funk is cured jamming to them. Plus you see half these comments and realize that your life could be much worse
Just wait until you hear Tool.
I love how every song they sing has a deep meaning behind it
I really can't see any reason why anyone would dislike this band. They're not the fanciest band, but their music has a very big impact and they're just great song writers all around. I would like to see them one day.
I heard they put on a great show
an incredible show.@@jimworton1245
So many people knocking this album. I love this song. I don't care if every song on this album isn't my new favorite Rise Against song of all time, i'm pumped for the new music, and i definitely dig this tune.
You're saying words i feel right now, this paradise called earth, I don't want to be here either.
It’s not a paradise it’s hell
@@robbohus4557 it's not Hell it's a training ground.
This is not depression its the break through to change
the lyrics are so real
really nice song and the message of this song is so clear
i like rise against 👍
sorry I mean the lyrics are so true
Animator: ''Tim, what font should I use for this music video?"
Tim: "Dunno, what do you have for me?"
...
Tim: "I'll take em all!"
very common style of typography
Hehehe
Grim Oakheart more like: *Animator*: Tim, what font should I use for this music video?
*Tim*: Yes
I know and embrace depression. It drives me to alcoholism. You haven't been a part of why that happens.
I guess that you could say the Animator "Gave It All" to Tim, lol.
"No longer recognice the place that i call home, no longer recognize this face as my own..." :/

I'm a die hard fan from the beginning. I remember seeing them headline a show at my favorite concert venue not to long after The Sufferer & the Witness album was released. That was the best live show I have witnessed thus far in my life. When they played "Survive" something clicked in my head, "this is the song that will define you for the rest of your life." The next day I made an appointment for my next tattoo, and two weeks later I was officially a die hard fan with "How We Survive Is What Makes Us Who We Are" in black ink stretching from my waist to the top of my ribs. I have been waiting for Rise Against to hit a venue some where close to me for several years now. The current tour Rise Against is on with Lincoln Park happens to be making a stop in my area. I have no doubt that this show will rank as high as the first time I saw them. The show would be truly epic if the set list included Survive, Help is On the Way, and my newest found favorite I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore.
This is actually how this year has made me feel
me too man
Every day man. Struggling :/
@@fluffy.mtb87 Hang in there buddy, I'm happy you exist!
I really don't.........
@@kimmytancil Love you too ❤
reminds me a lot of sufferer and the witness! Cant wait for the rest of the album, and to see them live at summerfest
Me too! The Sufferer and the Witness is their best, although I love all of their albums.
alright Professor Lupin likes Rise Against!
They are gonna be at summerfest? This is great news. Headlining I hope.
No not headlining, but they're on the Harley Stage. I'm kind of glad they're not. I already spent $135 to see Fall Out Boy with my sister.
Sounds like my summerfest experience. Fall Out Boy with the brother, and Rise Against.
I love Rise Against and Linkin Park! Both bands have grown so much since their first albums. Here's hoping they continue to be awesome!
yes, still evolving, and making good music
Should check out The Hunting Party. Linkin Park went more metal, heavier than they've ever been, and it's fantastic. This is by far one of my favourite songs by Rise Against. as a footnote.
Diralt Naran I just bought it. It's amazing!
Thanks for mentioning the Linkin Park album for one because I don't have the album and have heard mixed things but mostly really good reviews from people with musical taste and another it lead to see The Black Market has leaked, sweet! and yes I will buy the album when its released the impatience is getting to me lol
The new album is great, but it did take some adjusting to hear them go back to their roots after Living Things, a great album as well.
If there was a college version of this song..."I don't wanna be here anymore. I know there's nothing left worth studying for."
that could be applied to high school in some cases
@@Solidgamer01 I know that's for sure.
Getting the new album for sure! I have all of your albums so far. Not going to stop buying them.
Nothing's gotten better
I get so mad when people say Rise Against have made 5 albums that sound exactly the same...
Rise Against has made 6 albums that sound exactly the same!
trumph77 Haha yeah, but I felt it worked here too :D
i don't know if this was a troll or not but their records don't all sound the same entirely. their earlier stuff was a lot different sounding than their newer stuff, not to mention endgame had a different feel with every one of their songs. This song i do agree takes us back to the Appeal to Reason album but then again this is only one song, it could be different
They're all the same but they are amazing.
To be honest, The Unraveling and RpM were pretty cool.
Look at the bright side if you love how they sound you'll never be disappointed ;)
BRUTAL.
Yes
I suffer from depression. This song uplifts me because the lyrics help fight the voices.
"I don't want to be here anymore" to me is saying that I don't want to be trapped in my mind anymore
Well I like that you think of it as a positive thing
I was deputy sheriff for 7 years. This song perfectly could describe those years. As a rookie I was excited. As time progressed, the things you see begin to affect you. You can't forget the sights. The smells. The faces. The photographs. The details.
I got fired from that job, because I didn't charge a known shitbag for a crime he didn't commit. By the time I got fired though, the job was no longer enjoyable. It became agonizing work. And when it starts to weigh you down, they tell you to be more proactive in your patrol. So you get proactive, then they say you make too many traffic stops. Nobody asks if you need help. You just gotta deal. I didn't want to be there anymore and it almost cost me everything.
I'm better now though.
Glad youre doing better now. Cant imagine being a police officer I feel bad for them.
I know how you feel. I work as a Security Guard and I feel the same way. I dread being called in to work and getting ready to go to work is more of a struggle every day. Most companies in the security industry consistently disrespect, undervalue and underpay their staff.
You’re a good soul! Be proud of yourself!
I DONT KNOW you but i love you bro i know we will never meet but im giving you a hug
I still am one. It’s hard at times, especially on midnights. Also, it’s your discretion to charge a person-the department can’t tell you who to charge and who not to??
Fuck...Finally! This is brilliant! My faith in music is slowing restoring. I think this'll be a good year.
As for me, I love everything Rise Against has made, from The Unraveling to Endgame. Each album has a unique flavor that I like to listen to individually for individual moods. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the extreme angsty punk of 'Six Ways 'Til Sunday' and sometimes I'm in in the mood for the melodic sound of 'Audience of One'. All in all, I welcome yet another new flavor of Rise Against!
Please come back to the UK it's been too long!!!
Am I the only one who kinda got a siren songs feel, at least on the verses? I love it! cant wait for The Black Market!
I'm proud to say Rise Against made me Straight Edge, thanks to Tim. Keep up the excellent work, I love every single album, I'm a huge fan of the lyrics in the more Controversial songs, and most people think it's weird that I listen to the lyrics and only then do I pay attention to the music. Either way, this band is fucking awesome.
Keep your chin up… we all have our walk of life in this journey, and it all ends the same.
Be kind to others and spread happiness, not hate.
Cool song, it seems like this time a round some of the songs (this song and restless world) are more introspective (writing songs about personal concepts and experiences) rather than political. Which is cool, it's something that Rise Against have done a lot in their very first album, the unraveling. All of their other albums contained mostly political and social commentaries, so an introspective approach to the lyrics is a nice addition. I am very interested to see how the rest of the album is.
Well, The Used were introspective and became political with their most recent album, it kinda makes sense for Rise Against to do the opposite.
The cool thing is that this song can be interpretyed politically as well. You could argue that it's about refusing to put up with the political situation in the USA/the world. On the other hand, it does seem very introspective.
NomTheFood Exactly.
I like both themes in their lyrics, their instrumental is godlike, his voice is great
NomTheFood A lot of their songs are like that. IE: Audience of One is supposed to be political according to the music video, yet on lyrics alone, it gives a completely different message. I prefer to follow the lyrical message (losing friends and growing up) over the political message.
Rise against a band that will never sell out!!
I like the fact that bands like Rise Against exist. It's nice to hear songs pertaining to world issues rather than the average pop song. I especially enjoy that they still have that "Rise Against" style. Just as shown in all of their albums!
People in these comments are yelling at other people for telling here theyre depressed. You dont have to have a bad life to be depressed. I have kinda everything. I have food, a warm home, my famliy, but i struggle with Depression, because i've been bullied for 7 years. Dont tell them that theres worse. What might leave a scratch on you, might kill somebody else.
agreement 100%
nice
Purple Omega I don’t know you but people Iike you I consider bothers and sisters :D
Amen purple omega
I.. Wha...it.. FUCK IT YOUR HIRED! Welcome to the prometheus school of Making me fell shitty
Jk. Nice quote btw
This is the "help is on the way" song of this album.
I hope there's a "Satellite" on it though.
Dayum dude first time I open the comments for the song and see you.
xD i had the same when listening to endgame for the first time and compared it to appeal to reason xD great music, but it does not hold much surprises anymore
I feel like this song is a successor of "Prayer of the refugee". Thematically in first they demand to be accepted by society and in this they are just fed up with it.
@@nostalji93 I entirely agree with that. This didn't have the same atmosphere or theme as Help is on the way.
I like being here. Be positive
Fucking amazing, can't wait to hear the rest of the album
It's annoying how people criticize(d) this one song and/or compare it to Rise Against's other albums.
I really don't see one thing wrong with this song; along with specific musical things that make up this song, the message or meaning of it is just as strong as the many other songs they've made, all of which, to me, are both astonishing and plain awesome.
If this album is not what you expected or "wanted", you're not being much of a grateful fan; don't be so picky and ignorant to not realize that Rise Against made the music how they see fit, despite the style changing in minor or moderate ways.
Hands down, they created great songs for this album with a style they were or are still comfortable with, clearly, as they've done with their past albums; I commend them for that and I'm proud to be a fan of them.
Overall, don't be so ungrateful; be glad they still create great music. :D
This band and the lyrics feel so close to my own thoughts its truly amazing!! I feel every word and every acoustic that relieves my sense of being alone in my head. Rise against is my favorite band.
Pretty much listened to their new album like 50 times on the iTunes Radio and dear god it's amazing. Every song is just pure gold. I can't pick a favorite, they're all so good
These guys just get better and better with each song and album! Man can't wait for all this to come out.
This song is very important to me, because right after my grandma passed away two years ago, the only thing that kept me going was this one part: "something has to die to be reborn", and I still have a very old recipe of hers and one day I'll tattoo this very quotation using her handwriting... Thank you, Rise Against, for always being by my side in the dark times
JESCA JOGA keep pushing on, losing a grandma sucks but you're not alone.
What do you people want? If a band sounds different it's a problem. If a band sticks to their true genre/sound it's a problem. Make up your mind already. I personally love this song. I can relate to this. The music sounds great.
finally someone who isn't an idiot like 95 percent of the internet
it will allways be people like that.. and rise agaisnt is by far the band where that happens the most.. im a big fan of linkin park too, check out their new songs here on youtube just to read the comments and you'll see whats to have retarded people talking shit with no sense. most of that people doesnt even know how much work they have to do to make such amazing song like this one. its better just to let them talk shit, the bands know the "real fans" :)
DyO DM Linkin Park is the type of band where I wish they kept the same sound. Meteora and Hybrid Theory were awesome but their new shit just isn't that good.
klavier285 isnt that good? just because you dont enjoy it, it doesnt mean it isnt good, open your mind, they're improving their style for a "new rock".. and meteora and hybrid theory was from 2000/04.. i mean for fck sake we're at 2014. 10 years difference, its time to try new stuff. and LP are the only ones that i can see they're working on it. like i said before, open your mind, its all about that, its not about the songs/band, its about people.
Lol idiots start to flock to the smarter comments. Got to love TH-cam commenters...
Grew up with this band. Love there music never hated anything. This song is amazing. Truly amazing.
Omg I love this. Best voice Ive ever heard from Tim. Guitars are Rise Against's like. Drums sound awesome. Cant wait for the new album :D
This song isn't necessarily about suicide it's all about how you see and hear the lyrics, I see it as I'm not happy with who I've become or the situation I'm currently in, " I don't want to be here anymore..." It could be a catalyst for change and an opportunity for change and improvement... It's all about how you see things... For those of you who feel like your situation will dictate the rest of your life.. Please don't give up cuz you can make things better, use this song as inspiration not confirmation...
You are strong and very smart! I couldn't have said it any better!! Don't forget to Stay strong yourself! ;
I think that's what's great about it, it can be applied to so many things, living in poverty, living with an abuser, being depressed
for me it feels more like the period after I was depressed, after I'd worked through most of my shit I found myself more or less alone, I didn't have anyone to share that joy with, I'd just begun living a life that others had been living for five years, it feels like being in the same place with a different mindset, but it's getting better, because I'm making it so, because I don't want to be here anymore
How can I move on when life keeps u kicking u to the ground??
Amazed to see how these guys churn out new songs that sound as great as their every song.
I think i just broke my replay button x) That's an AWESOME music guys!!!!
Awesome song why is it getting hate? Its a good sing b by a good band.
Believe me buddy, every song that is great has people who dislike it. It's inevitable :) the main thing is that you like it ;)
Just like all shit songs have people who will defend their opinion with their life
(onedirection, justin bieber, miley cyrus, etc etc)
Monroe .
that's true thanks dude.
Soap Sud Gaming
Now I wouldn't defend the song with my life. I may like the song but its not worth fighting for people who fight for any song are very illogical, I'm just saying that its a good song at least to me I know that not every body likes this song. every body has their likes and dislikes but I know that I will not fight for this song its not worth my time.
I actually like this one a lot. Tim's voice seems to have a different energy. Less screaming, more power.
And don't worry, the vid got 98% of likes.
A strong message this band sends out to the world, simply amazing.
New album!! YEAH
Love Rise Against love all their songs and albums. If you don't agree that is cool, but this is my favorite band and their music brings me always to a good place.
I agree. Respect
Same
Even if it is an angry as hell place.
Good that a band is letting then fans hear some real shit. These guys were always good shit.
Loving the song. Going to be a great album.
On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall
We count the days scratching lines on the wall
Wait in the wings at someone's beck and call
No longer recognize the place that I call home
No longer recognize this face as my own
Somewhere this fate, I lost control
We backed down, we took no for answers far too long
We felt those walls close around
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anymore
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
See I don't think I can fight this anymore,
I'm listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn
and I don't want to be here anymore
On hand and foot we answered every single call
Weathered every day like passing storms
But when we break we will all be gone
Won't back down, won't take no for answers anymore
These walls close, we pace back and forth
I don't want to be here anymore
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
See I don't think I can fight this anymore,
I'm listening with one foot out the door
But something has to die to be reborn
I don't want to be here anymore
The point where we break is closer everyday
But where do we go? But where do we go?
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here anymore
I know there's nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
See I don't think I can fight this anymore,
I'm listening with one foot out the door
But something has to die to be reborn
and I don't want to be here anymore
Anymore...
The level of stupidity
Arcadepown thanks 👏👏
Gracias por la letra 🌼🙏.
The thing that makes this band, is they dont dumb their sound down for dumb fucking radio plays, they give their loyal fanbase the music that they fell in love with at the start even ten+ years later, so on behalf of all of us Thank you Rise Against
I had the darkest day of my life today and I was scrolling thru youtube and found this gem this song slays
I'm gonna call it a day soon ❤
Not the only one brother ❤
Thiz track gos bk to 2014 when I started my 7yr term getting to Delano and the music was on full blast and thiz song was on
I love this...
Alot of people are saying this sounds like Sufferer and the Witness and Siren Song of the Counter Culture. I don't here it in the two songs they've released for this album though. I think this is a new strain of Rise Against with the same raw vocals as before, but with a better ability to hit notes, and cleaner guitars. Tim's singing voice is the best sounding from all his previous albums. And have you heard his screaming in Eco Terrorist? He rocks both clean/ and unclean vocals.
My mom recently had a big health scare and when she went in for an MRA this song came on on the radio and it really helped her through it a lot. Thank you so much Rise Against!
to anyone who's deployed or mobilized in Iraq, afghanistan or any Palestinian providence this song has a deeper meaning. for many of us it's about coming home and being tired of the surroundings. prayers to my brothers.
its a great song, like all songs of rise against it have a strong meaning.
I don't know how they do it, but one of the few bands that has consistently made awesome music without loosing their feel.
The ending is awsome. Haha. Makes me wana listen over and over. Solid song. Can totally relate
I don't think they'll ever make a song as good as Savior
They've made songs that are better than Savior.
They did an album called revolutions per minute that are better than anything else hahahaha
re-education .. ready to fall .. endgame .. paper wings .. everchanging ... ok stop me :p
Swing life away?
They have WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many song that are several million times better then savior...
Keep making your music rise against. You guys are one of my favorite bands and we need more people like you in the world. So thank you for speaking out and trying to help people.
I find it funny how the same people who comment about rise against sounding exactly the same on all of their music are the same people who criticize Linkin park for not being exactly the same as their first 2 albums like how does that make sense
like I say to everyone I see saying something like this, 95 percent of the internet is retarded.
lolumad77711 Yeah people just wanna be critical. Like people, bands change. Concepts build. Ideas sprout. Problem arises. These bands are just addressing what is in their hearts in a way they feel that is best approachable for their audience. They spend quite a deal thinking of their lyrics and songs. When I first heard this song I knew it was Rise Against no questions asked. Was it that much different from other Rise Against songs not really. To me I still think it is great.
This comment made my day, so true! People need to just enjoy great music!
totally true!! Should be the top comment on every fucking song!
Don't even compare Rise Against to Linkin Park, that's blasphemy
I guess there is a reason why this song has almost 10 million views. Sociocultural circumstances and political actions, driven by economic interest, destroying the health of the youth is NOT okay.
A lyrical masterpiece with which I totally agree. Government and corporations are bleeding us dry and most people are either oblivious or just watch as it happens, unwilling to do the hard work to change it. "Your paradise is something I've endured," Great freakin lyric. Says it all for me.
Fantastic, Rise Against never disappoint.
I've been nothing but good my whole life (or so I've thought) I'm the most caring person you could meet but this world does nothing but take and I just don't know how much more I can handle
Mmmh, my words ( reflecting )
I love how this band unlike all my other favorite bands never changes their sound. amazing song!!!
loved this song since it's drop. Asphalt Xtreme only reminded me
awesome!! I cant wait for the album!
Man hearing this song live is WORDS CAN"T SAY HOW AMAZING IT IS!
Offspring, Rise Against, Pennywise, Bad Religion, and Authority Zero.
Kings of Hardcore Punk Rock music. With bad Religion at the top of course being the Godfathers of modern age Punk Rock.
hardcore punkrock? this is great bands and music you listed but they are not really considered hardcore. check out 'madball' (infiltrate the system is a good song to start with). 'Sick Of It All' is more on the hardcore end of punk too. The album 'death to tyrants' is incredibly powerfull. give it a try mate. 🤘
@@Solidgamer01 dont know them tbh 😅 i'm more into progressive death metal lately, but i'll give them a try 👍
Thanks Asphalt Xtreme, for having this amazing song.
Dziki Breeki yes friend :)
To everyone who said they feel this way;
I feel the same way. You're in my hearts and your in my thoughts, and I wish you the best wherever you end up.
Damn. Living here in north Mexico shits crazy. I'm a fucking college graduate, I work hard, and still I'm struggling and broke. What a shithole this is, damn. Sometimes, this shit feels as if being alive is a fucking curse or some shit.
Stay strong my friend!!
Come up with enough funds to leave north Mexico
same
If you can, save up and move to Canada. I would normally recommend moving to America, but knowing how crazy things are here, I wouldn't want you to have to face the same bullshit. Anywhere other than America is the way to go.
Ganador24/7 honestly America is the same way. you can have a PHD (or 2 PHDS, like my mother) and still be struggling and hardly making it by.
People suck. Thank god for music!!!!
Forgive people. Rejoice. Give thanks.
Whenever I feel uncomfortable in a particular situation, I always sing the chorus, it calms me down. It particularly calms me down when I'm getting nervous and scared because of my fear of heights or even when I'm mad or even when I don't know what I'm doing and I feel overwhelmed.
Things get better. Time heals. Everyone feels and sad times in their life. You just have to accept what is happening and tell yourself things will get better. Feeling sorry for yourself won't change the situation.
No, it only gets worse
You're like a single drop of optimism in a sea of misery :)
I'm sure you know that well enough since you're a Norwich fan
+TidalWave something has to die to be reborn :)
+Troy Dazzle i strongly agree, you have to accept yourself, realize your own flaws and the fact that you cant change them. be who you are and everything is gonna be alright.
Just found this song as it sums up my current situation perfectly
Same
Happened last year but same Situation
The state I find myself presently in
I just looked up "I don't want to be here anymore" cause I say that to myself everyday.
I feel that
Same...
Hey I know it’s 6 months later but that’s exactly what just happened . Do you still feel the same ? I just wanna know how long would I feel like this
