It'ss almost like it was predictive programming or foreshadowing a future events. But we know how it goes; the same people that run Hollywood can see into the future with unworldly source, and they can't help but too slowly force-fed you or feed you messages that will slowly condition you in the future of what will happen next.

[@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.

And now that he passed away by his own hands I'm imprisoned in the hell of my own mind, longing for a break from reality, but sometimes, I come here to remind myself that there was a time of my life where I was genuinely happy.

@@wendellharper2113 listen to Nowhere Generation by Rise Against. It’s excruciatingly empowering. Rise Against have always been allies and activists and I find a lot of comfort and empowerment in their music. I have since I was a child. My experience is different than yours, but I am a child of both American indigenous and European pagan ancestry. I’ve definitely lived life as outsider.

Sufferer and the Witness is great, but Siren Song was my first full album and Endgame has to be my favorite. I have a quote from Architects as my senior quote.

Listening right now on a separate service. Came here to say that I was lucky enough to see them live and wow, I was blown away by the singer’s powerful voice! He more than pulls this off live, as do the rest of the band, and I really like when I can say that. (Sometime between 2005 and 2008)

[@jamesbyrd971]

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)

In primary school we had the chance to choose one favortite track we know and play it on a CD in front of the class so every student could rate it. I remember choosing this one, not even fully understanding the lyrcis because I'm born in a country where we don't learn English in primary. I was like 9 years old, and now, 13 years later proud of my choice. Most of us didn't really understand the lyrics, but I felt this song was about something important. Hits me differently.

[@Akarius]

Because there is always at least 1% of people that don't understand :)

[@reissphilippe2217]

The vid gets dislikes because it is completely paradoxical in nature: You have a song which is, broadly speaking, denouncing globalization and presumably, its effect upon US industries, its economies and the workers that support it. Merely 8 seconds into it, the singer is holding a microphone. There is a 98% chance it is a Shure 58 (which are *the* standard microphones for "live" vocal performances). Shure Inc. shifted production from Illinois to Mexico in 1983, and into China in 2005. Also, be sure to check 3m18s. The kick drum is Tama = made in Japan.
