Even though this song is about sweatshop labor this song still reminds me of stagnant town that I am from with no room to grow or be something more than a sweatshop laborer!

[@hrpdrp97]

Most minimum wage jobs are basically modern sweat shoes, employers refuse to hire enough workers so they can guilt trip the ones they have into doing more and more work, then they complain like no one wants to work. (Also the song is mainly about refuges but also uses sweat shopes in the imagery)

Now, 10 years later I just listened to this for the first time and got full body chills as I listened to the lyrics. This song made me emphasize the experience of the refugee and how difficult it must be. Especially now that the EU/Poland and Belarus are in the brink of an armed conflict, where the refugees are being weaponized as tools of war. This is the ultimate humiliation for the refugee, stuck between two countries, neither of which want you and are threatening you with violence. Lets hope for the best, but I fear the worst...

And here I am, very close to the end of 2022 listening to this song I used to love as an edgy teenager.

There seems to be a global trend that the general population is losing most of their economic power, while the big corporations are getting the biggest profits ever in recorded history and are getting less and less regulated by the year. If this trend does not stop, its just a matter of time until all of us become the refugees of capitalsm, and if that happens, ill gladly sing this prayer and revolt.

Maybe FFF and climate mass protests around the world are the uprising we need.

[@christopherabramor3012]

I always felt identified with this song from the point of view of my family starting to lose everything (job, house, and even the very family), and myself as a teenager having to fight harder than the rest to achieve anything I wanted. Then now I'm also feeling identified but from a political standpoint, looking at the reality of my falling country (Argentina), it's crisis, and how the governments show themselves as "holding us up", but in reality they are just burying us further down. And if the course of things keep its path, the unevitable runaway into exile. Feels like this is the very song that fits my life. But I'm no fool though, I know I'm still lucky and I'm neither the hungry or the cold. I'm just stuck held down, further down each day but still have the chance to fight against it. Sadly there are people, the people for whom the song is really about, that are held way further down than me and can only fight for survival. For those out there, my hopes for you to have the strength to hold your ground, and mainly the strength to still get yourselves a proper education while fighting starvation, cause that's the very tool that can make you really strike back out of misery. No one can fight for us, they'll just let us down. We have to be the ones to stand our own grounds.
