For some reason, this version has like a minute of silence at the end. Sorry.
I first heard Rise Against at a Billy Talent show. Most energetic show I ever went to! I just moshed with my friend, Kenny, the whole time. So awesome! Anyways, I love “Survive” because after an extremely difficult break up a few years back, I was driving around one day and this came on. And I just started laughing at how amazing it was. First of all, it has a totally kickass intro. Second of all, it has the best survival lyrics! I started laughing as he yelled out:
All smiles and sunshine, a perfect world on a perfect day
Everything always works out, I have never felt so fucking great!
I love it because the tone of the lyrics does not hint, at all, that he believes this at the moment of singing it. But it’s a drive to survive. He gets it out, and I dont know if it made him feel better, but I know it made me feel better to sing along. When life gets you down, listen to “Survive”, because how we survive is what makes us who we are.
