Lyrics:
We’re biding time as we wait for the signal
Sharpening blades while we wait out the storm
These cold nights are almost unbearable
But purpose keeps us warm
Pledge allegiance while crossing our fingers
A bark with no bite, no teeth just a roar
You’re not a thorn in our side; you’re a splinter
We are ready but we’re bored
Just holding our place in line
And everything moves too slow now
Breaking away in time
They have the power
We have the numbers now
It’s all just a constant illusion
Of control
They break us like horses
How long will we drag their plow?
What will continue to be
Is what we allow…
And still we worship at altars so empty
Consumption of something we don’t need at all
Holes we can’t fill
A never-ending song;
“Again, from the top now…”
Textbook cases we all fit the profile
Mass surveillance we opened the door
Prey on the fears, the blurred lines of right and wrong
Sped up ’til we can’t slow down
And at this velocity
One wrong move and we go down
Brace for the reckoning
They have the power
We have the numbers
It’s all just a constant illusion
Of control
They break us like horses
How long will we drag their plow?
What will continue to be
Is what we allow…
Heavy are the chains
We fasten to ourselves
Gathering the thorns
To shape into a crown
Is this saddle comfortable?
Do these reigns feel tight enough?
Will you gallop when you’re kicked?
Or throw the rider off
Are you the willing and the able
Or are you spoken for?
Destined to serve what you abhor
Until it all gives out
Listen
Fuck what you call normal
And this pressure to conform
(Break free)
It’s your trail to blaze
Or your bridge to burn
They have the power
We have the numbers now
It’s all just a constant illusion
Of control
They break us like horses
How long will we drag their plow?
What will continue to be
Is what we allow…

I don't want to say that this song "sounds like the old Rise Against" because I believe that bands should always move forward and evolve.

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

@@m.a.9517 I actually think Brandon and Joe are the standouts in this song. I find Tim’s vocals to almost become cliche for Appeal to Reason/radio Rise Against for over a decade. Savior, Long Forgotten Sons, I Don’t Wanna Be Here Anymore, Nowhere Generation and some all have the same kinds of choruses with Tim. Those are the only types of Rise Against songs that I dislike. They became a thing from 2008 onwards when Tim’s voice evolved and couldn’t take the faster and deeper tones as much like the choruses on Heaven Knows or Everchanging or Life Less Frightening. 2008 was when Rise Against stopped being my favorite band because they added this new element which also exploded on the radio and changed the set list vibe of all the shows. Instead of fast Rise Against that packed a punch, it became more generic The point is I think Brandon and Joe take a medicore song and make it much better. Tim’s lyrics are always on point though. I love what is being said at me, just not how its delivered.

I love this one already. Nowhere Generation took time to grow on me, but I immediately fell for this track. It has a slow but gripping intro and a roller coaster when it comes to tempo & tone (seriously, the contrast between the chorus & the other verses got my attention real quick!). Rise Against, y’all really know which tracks to put out to get us excited for the rest of the record!

[@Viper-dn8ix]

For me the reverse was kind of true. Nowhere Generation resonated with me almost instantly, this one took a bit longer. They both did encourage me to explore the band outside of what I knew (Swing Life Away, Satellite, Savior, and The Violence). Took like 23 years, but I can finally claim to be a fan. Might just go see them at Fiddlers Green in September but I haven't decided yet.

@@AlmostaFlipinSkater I agree somewhat, the sound and the lyrics of the song are astounding. My issue is with the clear left ideology being pushed in the music video (supporting antifa, radical blm (not just normal people who despise pointless killings), socialism, anti-gun, anti-property, etc...). They claim to not conform but are conforming to the hive-mind of the radical left. I definitely agree that God is not a fan of everything about the USA (murder, abortion (the murder of the most innocent of us all), greed, sexual deviance, sexual freedom, looting/burning, destruction of things that aren't yours, all of the hatred, etc...). There are definitely things that we are doing right though (pro-Isreal, the fundamentals of our laws based on the 10 commandments, the abolishment of slavery to be followed by the rest of the world, charitable to the rest of the world, the keepers of peace, and still a large percentage of Christ-followers). We can most definitely do better as a country, but what they are suggesting will lead to a far bleaker future.

Probably because it always feels like everyone is moving so much faster and adapting better than I am, and I'm just being dragged along, trying my best to keep up. And if I slow down I'll be left behind, but at this speed I have no control, so I just have to hope there are no curves on this road we're careening down.

I don't see any Unraveling or RPM here... maybe the intro, but lyrically it's nowhere near as strong and the chorus especially is weak. IMO of course

[@michaelprehm8594]

@@MrRyanxdavey was meaning more instrumentally than lyrically. Lyrically it’s like appeal to reason to me

[@MrRyanxdavey]

@@michaelprehm8594 yeah I can see that. Unfortunately Tim's vocals are shot, the cost of going hard all those years

[@michaelprehm8594]

@@MrRyanxdavey yeah, but he’s still going for it which is kind of bittersweet. Regardless we’re lucky to have had Tim around so long. His voice and style is so distinct.. even as it’s changed I’m still glad to hear it

[@AlmostaFlipinSkater]

Verses are RPM-like forsure but I think Tim's shot voice has kinda forced him to have those Appeal to Reason choruses which just make me 🤮 but yeah, I appreciate 2020s Rise Against far more than those of 10 years ago. Revolutions Per Minute is the best album ever

[@FS-td3og]

Thank you for always/ consistently releasing songs and videos with a deeper message/ social commentary. This is how art improves societies.

[@Valenstine]

I love how Rise Against still sing about the important stuff. After all these years.

[@johnmccombe6342]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Greatest band on the planet. I always tell people "If you want to know who I am on the inside, read "The Far Side" comics and listen to Rise Against. You do that and you will know me inside and out. Every time I hear any of their music, it makes me even more happy that I got a Rise Against tattoo across my chest! LOVE THIS BAND!!!!

[@frozzard8048]

Breathtaking song that makes you think about humanity and what we actually need to do on this planet. Be human.

[@beezybeez4207]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6q3fa2Ld6mtj7s gotta hear this one !!! :) !!!

[@jayhollows5729]

the message is much more than that. It's about defying the system which exploits us for money and breaks our spirit with the constant grind getting us nowhere. It's about uniting as people, as workers to look out for each other and create a future where suffering is minimized.

[@JoshSanger]

Now this is Rise Against! Much better than last single.~

[@rach4282]

One of the best Rise Against songs. Been a fan for almost 20 years. Love you guys!

[@paulwilson8683]

I am a 59 year old punk, blue collar worker, this song means a lot

[@danielrice7220]

One of the best Rise Against songs in a while, yall killed it guys.

[@simonetontini3216]

Goosebumps, tears from joy, shivers down the spine, worried about the world, happy and so damn pumped! These are all the things I'm feeling right now, if it's not what music was meant for, then I don't want to listen to anything else. THANK YOU GUYS, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE

[@ghostlyworld101]

RISE AGAINST is a genre of its own, Tim still sounds like he did 20 years ago and their still the kings of the breakdown bridge!

[@rolfhauf4266]

Ya‘all young people listen close to the message behind these great lyrical words.🙏🏽heartfelt respect.

[@barbarastruckman9178]

Respect

This is what I was waiting for from Rise Against

[@ashrider8782]

The sampling of La Marseillaise adds so much to this! I was surprised that I recognized it at the beginning.

[@lune8287]

the whole global workng class needs to listen to the lyrics of this song...! how long till they wake up again...?

[@daveau6096]

Thanks for your supporting of HK people. Let more people know what CCP done with HK.

[@Mc-Derpulous]

One thing about rise against is consistency, every song will always be as amazing as the last.

[@AuditMadness]

Every song sounds exactly the same, so if you like one song then good news but if you don't well they have nothing for you lol

[@ArgentoGaming]

@@AuditMadness me when i dont *really* listen to songs:

[@PJSky-py4xo]

Rise against ...my childhood ... My teenage ... Even know as a adult ... Always with me u guys mean a lot to me am from a place where am just waiting to die listening to you music i only wish my place of birth where i can was normal so i can live in peace

[@badwulff]

The best way to wake up is to see a new Rise Against song in your recommended

[@tinacofalls9202]

Soooooo much better then the title track, I’m officially on board for this

To whom ever told rise to go back to their roots, i praise thee! The 3 songs for the new album are pulling me back to the band that was my only band in my late teens. Love it😍

[@thederekbrown7339]

in 2021 this is an anthem , ive played it 20 times already, rise against!

[@danielmack6822]

Why after months of social isolation am I in tears now, because I feel like we are still all one, but not seperated at all? THANK YOU

[@steele_heart77]

Hard to believe that one of the hardest days of the year just got a hell of a lot easier.

[@justingramley1512]

Can’t wait for Rise Against’s new album, Horses.

[@flynnfitnesscoaching1452]

Having listened through the album in full now, this remains (as expected) far and away the best track on the release by a huge margin for me! It jumped into my top ~5 RA songs from the first listen and will stay there

[@SimplyMadCat]

it's like if "I don't want to be here anymore" and "Injection" had a baby. LOVE IT! :D

[@EmilPiano]

Rise Against is back at it ♥ That mix tho, i completely love it

[@LeryGo369]

Tims voice is so powerful

[@justinpeiffer5945]

This song hits so hard. Y'all must be some legendary revolutionaries. Rise Against The Numbers is too good. I can't stop listening.

[@RiseAgainSteve]

What a fucking masterpiece. I got goosebumps when the drums picked up speed. Thanks for lighting the way guys! Love you all, and everyone here!

[@Haunted.Pumpkin]

Unrelated but your username is fucking great.

[@RiseAgainSteve]

@@Haunted.Pumpkin Thank You!

[@noahmi09]

I totally agree masterpiece. Can't wait to see them in August.

[@fennecfanatic5566]

I got absolutely hyped when I heard the drums pick up.

[@beezybeez4207]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6q3fa2Ld6mtj7s gotta hear this one !!! :)

[@Bobaheisenberg]

Im still a huge fan of the Rise Against from my first and favorite album of theirs, RPM! But my goodness... How do these guys continue to drop Anthem after Anthem without falling off? Atleast for me i feel that they adapt to the times without abandoning what makes them, well them i guess... All albums have a similar sound from one to the next yet, The Unraveling is completely different from The Black Market (if that makes any sense).. This is the reason they're hands down my favorite band! About to see them live for my 25th time in October at Aftershock and this day can't get here soon enough since its been 3 years since I've seen them live.

[@luaraaraujo7191]

We have the numbers now It's all just a constant illusion Of control . . . What will continue to be Is what we allow... 🎶🎸💀❤️

[@alextromagnetic]

"Will you gallop when you're kicked, or throw the rider off" They don't miss

[@vladimir0826]

Rise Agaisnt is one of these bands that can make music that sound like their old albums but still feel fresh

[@captainpencil5761]

Yup gonna see you guys again. This will be my 3rd time. Cant wait to see yall again! #WeThePeople

[@peetersdrummingmusic6781]

As a drummer the drum beat at 4:23 is just so awesome. How it has the snare hits like in a standard 4/4 beat but it's incorporated to 6/4 or 3/4 (not sure)

[@Ambar42]

This feels like oldschool Rise Against. Nice.

[@twosoulfox]

When everything breaks me online, Rise Against will be forever my constant.

[@kabirahashraf]

this is like their old tunes meets their last album

[@01oo011]

This is where the fun begins

[@chrisklema9992]

How is it that they are everchanging without ever changing? Same old vibe, you can tell its a RA song in every aspect, but at the same time, its fresh and new feeling?

[@fie1329]

I hope to see you live in Europe in the future! Can't wait! Radios are playing your songs finally! You made it, you brought good music in the radio!

[@flynnfitnesscoaching1452]

This has no doubt locked in top spot on my Spotify 100 most played for the year. It's been on repeat for me non-stop for four days now. Best RA track in a decade, the galloping drums are reminiscent of Sufferer

[@MCPhilop]

This is what Rise Against stands and ever stood for 🙌

[@cAPSlOCKrOXX]

I’ve watched this video so many times. It really gives me the revolutionary optimism that I need when everything looks so bleak.

[@ericnylund2884]

This is my favorite song off the new album..

[@mili20507keku1]

This song brings me back ten years ago
