Rise Against - Survive
"Somewhere between happy, and total ****ing wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams and give up on your..
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement, a status quo exile
I shirk my obligations, I miss all your dead lines
I excel at quitting early, and ****ing up my life
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so ****ing great
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so great
(Life isn't like this)x4
Life isn't like this life x2 (Life isn't like this)x3
Are we verging on an answer, or ****ing up our...
Life for you has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive is what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
It�s what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
Makes us who we are
(Who we are)
It�s what makes us who we are
(Who we are)"
Lyrically it is simpler and more self-explanatory than most of the band's songs, but while going through a period of quite bad depression, this song helped me alot... Like it says, "how we survive is what makes us who we are", not the **** that happens to us, cos **** happens, it happens to everyone, so don't wallow in self pity, just survive!
