Music video by Rise Against performing Tragedy + Time. (C) 2014 Interscope Records - Hudba
This song legitimately has one of the best messages of all time.
Yup. It’s masterfully written. All aspects of the song. From the lyrics to the music. It’s a ton of power and emotion in this song. It makes you well up with emotions.
🖤💙🖤
And 1 of the hottest chicks ever in a video
Agreed the lyrics are phenomenal
I don't know how many times this band has kept me alive when I thought nothing else could.. 15+ years later, here we are.. Keeping me alive, again.
I listened to this band when I was around your age even a little bit younger. I'm 30 now, and it still is true! Age doesn't matter It still makes a difference! Ty
Keep being alive!!! We need you here you know?!?! ❤
This comment was made 9 months ago, but I'm totally the same! Been a fan since siren song album! When I need them, Rise Against is always there!
I'm only still here because of Rise Against.
This song kept me from the end as well. There is a lot of love in this world my friend, celebrate that and you will find yourself in a world that celebrates you. Just remember, we're out here and we love you.
I got this bands logo tattooed on me 8 years ago to remind me that no matter what I will get through it.
"We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt. But how we survive, is what makes us who we are."
Same here buddy. Big Rise logo on my chest!
That line has been with me through many rough days.
same here i have survive lyrics with logo on my arm. really underrated band
unf thats the song that i want to get tattoo
Okay, I wanted to tattoo something and now you just reminded me how this band got me and still does get me through hardships. Definitely going to follow suit. Thank you.
Lyrics
"On the edges of the sharpest knives
In the middle of the darkest nights
Always knew that I would find you here
In a puddle of the bravest tears
I've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are
Above the crowd, feet dangling from a rooftop
She waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down
And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
The never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's ok
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for awhile
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
To laugh again someday
All that matters is the time we had
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
Never wonder what it might be like
Shut the door, say goodbye
When faced with tragedy
We come alive or come undone
So don't look back, let it shape you like an ocean
Even the deepest scars in time will fade
And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
The never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's ok
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for awhile
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
Now we're holding on to laugh again someday
And sometimes you have to go back
To know just where you have been
But we're old enough to know that
What has been will be again and again
And the bravest of faces
Are the ones where we fake it
In the roles that we play
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay awhile
You'll be ready then to laugh again
And nothing matters but the pain
(We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
And nothing matters but the pain (you see what you want to see)
And nothing matter but the pain
(We are misery and distant memories)
And nothing matters but the pain (but we all learn to laugh again)
Yeah, we all learn to laugh again
Oh, we all learn to laugh again."
i found this right when the lyrics started playing thanks
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooo much for this
thanks
This song saved me from ending it all back in 2018 and was a motivating factor to keep going. Whenever things got dark I would throw it on and move forward hoping for the best. Fast forward 4 years to 2 days ago I was just listening to this at work and the lyrics "Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone. When you're finally awake, despite the overwhelming odds tomorrow came. And when the see you crack a smile and you decide to stay awhile you'll be ready then to laugh again" I realized how far Ive come since that night and that my tomorrow has come. The truth in this song speaks of experience and its something I cant properly put into words. Thank you guys for being the soundtrack for my life since I was 12. Im 24 now and never stopped listening.
Hey, I don't know you, but I'm glad you're still here and with us! Much love! Always remember, you matter and are worth this life!
❤ you matter and thank you for sharing your story. I felt like ending my life about a year ago. This song made me cry and helped me get through the pain. It's amazing the healing power music has.
Dear Rise Against... know that, since my teenage years, you guys are my top 1 favorite band.
After all these years, you guys still are. And probably will still be for years to come ♥
Same dude. :)
capn Evan ... ur profile pic got me lmao, i tried flicking the damn fly...
+Capn Evan Dude, your profile picture is evil.
Me too! Bought sufferer and the witness at 16/17. Cheers
-Sofie Montañez
Still probably one of their most underrated songs.
Agreed
??? wdym
by far
Collectively, all their songs are just great.
Underrated band as a whole
Listening to this really helped me get through the last year. Got married last year then cheated on 6 months later and got divorced while suffering from a lung tumor. Was really on the edge of suicide and this song helped me pull out of it. Thanks Rise Against if you ever see this I want y’all to know that no band could’ve ever helped me like this one. ♥️
Hope you’re doing better! I know it’s been 2 years without an update, but I hope that you haven’t responded because you’ve been to busy enjoying your life
hope ur ok mate
"So don't hold back, let it shape you like an ocean
Even the deepest scars in time will fade"
this made me cry
ikr
the lyrics is very deep but the message is very important
When faced with tragedy, we come alive or come undone.
But we don't have to face it alone, never alone. Too many of us have suffered enough.
As a bass player it's nice to hear the bass and I don't have to try hard to hear it. The way the present the instruments is amazing and the songs have meaning. Love it
For sure. Joe Principe's thumpy, dirty, bass tone in this track/record is particularly awesome as well.
Do you listen to Jaco Pastorius?
It's the Chris Lord-Alge effect. Look at his body of work mixing records and you'll see that full-frontal bass effect is very much a signature of his :) (Think American Idiot, Black Parade etc)
listen to "endgame" & "like the angel"
The funny thing is that Joe's bass used to be even more present in the first albums. I think it's for Appeal to Reason he said he wanted to "let the guitar shine". He always had what I feel is an unique sound with allowed his bass to clearly exist along the guitars and I love it.
This song makes me cry and smile at the same time. It's ridiculous how much their songs mean to me. They're just so beautiful, I sometimes feel like I can't take it, that my heart's going to cave in. "there will be a time to crack another smile, maybe not today or for a while, but we're holding on to laugh again someday". Thank you, Tim, Zach, Joe, Brandon. I mean it.
Deep words
Despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came.
Even the deepest scars in time will fade
You're not the only one mate :) They are just amazing
This and Make it Stop for me.
Every fucking time, man, that final refrain, where it's all turned around... right in the feels, every single time
there's a lot of people questioning this video but it's really not a bad thing. I'm actually really glad that this band has such a great fanbase, people who aren't afraid to criticize Rise Against's choices; unlike most fans these days, accepting everything their idols do, literally worshiping them.
You actually have a really good point there.
In Flames is a death metal band. their style has evolved and they lost some fan such as me. This kind of worshiping people really exists ?!
hell yeah! It happens a lot with the mainstream musicians, like have you seen Justin Bieber lately? That douche bag still has like his whole fanbase supporting him and his choices
ImMagicallyDelicious Not true for the metal community mate. Go check out some of the comments on bands such as We Came As Romans (Good band btw), they deal with SO MUCH criticism.
What about linkin park, the most argue between the fans is about the new style! I personaly love both :D but its true what you are saying. but Linkin Park has it too!
it's okay, Tim, I cry every time I hear this song too
This song kept me alive. It was released when I was in a long stint of depression. Thank you Rise Against for helping me through the hardest times of my life. I am crying listening to this, being reminded of how your music impacted me as a teenager and into my 20's. I appreciate how you validate pain, and then guide people into the light again. True transmutation of emotion.
i lost the count on how many times this song save from depression ....
one of the best songs ever!!
I have "Despite The Overwhelming Odds, Tomorrow Came" tattoo'd on my chest.
This song has an extremely special meaning to me, I love it so much. My university offers this retreat that normally I would never have gone on. I’ve suffered from MDD since I was four and have never felt like a part of anything. My sophomore year I had finally decided I couldn’t go on any longer. As part of my bucket list I asked a friend of mine from college to go to a concert with me (it was 10 Years and Red... I normally would’ve gone to a much heavier show since that kinda music is basically my trademark but I wanted to do something with him before I ended things so I chose bands that were more accessible to the average listener). We went and he pestered me about going on the retreat (he went the year before). I would’ve never gone but I figured I could humor him since he went to the concert with me. Turns out he was part of the team leading it and throughout the week I genuinely started to feel like maybe I could be accepted a little bit. I began to make connections and feel like I had real relationships for once in my life, who accepted me for me. The following year I applied to lead and was chosen. As part of the retreat, I told my story (stuff I had never shared with anyone) and as part of the retreat, the team members that are leading all pick a song and everyone attending gets a CD with all the songs on it. They are typically songs that are meant to uplift or get people through tough spots and are meaningful to the team leader. I chose That’s Just Life by Memphis May Fire because it went along with my story. The following year I was fortunate enough to be able to apply to be a head leader because this retreat had literally saved my life and then a year later redefined it yet again. there are only 2 head leaders so it’s extremely competitive, and it was my last chance being able to do it (you can only go once, lead as a team leader once (after having gone as a retreatant), and lead as a head leader once (after being a team leader). So the chances I would get to go 3 times total was extremely small. But I ended up being chosen and this third time around, my life finally completed its turnaround from the person I had been just a few years prior. This song was the song I chose for my time as head leader, and it will always be so closely tied to those memories that it will always mean the world to me. My bad days have gotten fewer over time, but they still happen, so when they do, I throw this song on and remember how much progress I’ve made and how far I’ve come and all the people along the way, and I’m able to get through it by doing that :)
Glad to hear that you’re doing better. The world would be a better place if we could all just support and love each other. Keep spreading the message!
@@Stark21293 heck yeah man :) I’m doing even better since I made this comment. Always growing, always trying to help others :) I’m about to graduate with my masters in occupational therapy and make a career out of it 😌 I’m very blessed to have come this far and am super excited to see just how far I end up going
I watched this and honestly couldn't help but fucking smile. I think this is the happiest I've felt since i moved in to college. I honestly can say that sometimes the only thing that gets me through the day is your music
I mean rise against music isn't exactly the most up lifting music around. why does it make u happy?
socceraddict292
Probably cause it's so fucking good
Agreed. It's all about having something to relate to. This song means so much to me
i don't know what it is about their sound but i can't tell you how many times I'm walking to class or something and i don't feel sad, depressed, or happy, i just feel empty then suddenly a Rise against song comes on and a smile just finds its way to my face haha Seriously I want to go to a meet and greet or get backstage passes to a concert or something and just walk up to them and tell them how amazing their music is. sometimes an amazing rift, great lyrics, and that rise against sound is all i need to change my mood!
Every single time i heard this music i cry. I lost my mother 3 weeks ago and its hard to feel this lost and pain... But one day, someday will be better.
My lad loves this song. When we saw them live in Birmingham last year, they played it. I said to him “sing this loud and proud”, you might not get another chance. He did! Love Rise Against!! 🇺🇸🇬🇧🤘
This song got me through 6 months of clinical depression. This was what I listen to when I had lost hope and it always pushed me to give life a little more time.
"Even the deepest scars, in time will fade" ❤
3:33 forward might be the most depressing and hopeful dichotomy of emotions I've ever experientially listened to in my life. This part just spears you through the chest and leaves a "It's going to be okay" note pinned to you
"And nothing matters but the pain-, (We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
And nothing matters but the pain (you see what you want to see......)
And nothing matter but the pain-, (We are misery, and distant memories)
And nothing matters but the pain (but we all learn to laugh again...)
Yeah, we all learn to laugh again!...... oh, we all learn to laugh again"
We are sympathy?....... just wow. Unbelievably great song
This song hits me so hard. The text is like he describes my time in the ER as a nurse in the middle of covid. 😢
I still get nightmares about it. Running around in a gasmask holding the hands of hundreds of people how cant breath.
I will always remember the ones how past away when i stod by their side, holding their hands when their family couldnt be there.
One day i will learn to laugh again. One day i wont remember their faces. One day ❤
Fun fact: the model of the front cover album of The Black Market is the same girl in this music video. Her name’s Danielle Victoria!
She's also been dating Vic Fuentes of Pierce The Veil since 2014. She was in their music video for "King For A Day"
I remember in high school, Siren Song had just came out, and I was blasting it everywhere. This was right at the time Swing Life Away was getting really popular. Needless to say, my entire High School got this album for that song, and were swiftly disappointed in the CD when they realized how different the music was.
Just a funny story on how times change. Back then, they were too heavy, and now it seems like people are complaining they're too soft.
Soft? Heavy? It doesn't matter to me. This is poetry. This is meaning. And this is damn good music.
This is Noyes
@@michaeladams8051 Nice reference to "Intro/Chamber The Cartridge
He’s got such a smooth voice for light slow music but god damn he can scream for sure too lol
This is not what I expected the music video to be
Yeah... I thought the video would have some clear provocative message, like, you know, almost every other one of their videos?
Yeah feel the same way
Sour Potato I agree. They kinda just kept going to the same few sets of shots and didnt tell a story at all. I was hoping it was gonna have some turning point, but it never did. Been a huge rise against fan for the last decade and I'd say this was the least effort ive seen out of them to make a music video.
Cory Lu Lu Yeah, I'm disappointed....
yeah... they should make another version of it, because this song has a really good potential to tell a short story.. this is something you make in 2 hours tops. Plus, I was at least hoping that the final part would be a part where everything is enlightened and the strobe stops with epileptic attacks.. It would make perfect sense though ( song wise ).
The end when they say “we are tragedy yeah we are sympathy” always gets me and I don’t even know why. I love this song w all my heart
It's impossible to express in words how much I love Rise Against. They helped me in some tough times in my life and I'm sure to many other people as well. If you will ever read this guys, please, keep on what you doing. Be there for people who really need it.
Thank you Rise Against, you truly saved me !
Tom Jumper truer words have never been spoken! :) Hope you are good now, mate!
How we survive is what makes us who we are, right?
oxXsummertimeXxo Amen, brother
I know I’m super late and this was 6 years ago…….but I love all you guys! Keep on keeping on and no matter what, just remember that the sun will rise no matter how dark the moment seems
The first time I heard this song I loved the message, the last time I heard this song my little sister had just died in front of me two days prior. Turns out it gets even more meaningful when you need it to
Rise Against is one of the few who raises their voice to make a difference.
This song came on the radio at work one night and I rewinded it about a hundred times (CAT equipment, not sure the radio but life rewind capabilities) and I shed tears in the middle of a busy mine in the guts of Canada. Thank you rise against
"Nothing matters but the pain when you're all alone, the never ending nights when you're awake, when you're praying that tomorrow it's ok. There will be a time to crack another smile, maybe not today or for a while, but we're holding on to laugh again someday". A couple years ago, I lost my big sister and my mom a year apart. These lyrics described exactly how I felt for the longer time. It still means so much to me
I’m sorry for your loss, I know that doesn’t mean much from a random stranger on the Internet, but hope that you’re doing ok
@@Stark21293i am, thank you
Anyone else noticed how Tim kinda tears up in the end? (4:05)
That...is beautiful
What a coincidence………because I can’t make it through that final verse without tears streaming down my face. I’m not ashamed to say that sometimes the best feeling is a really good cry
A friend recommended this to me just a few minutes ago, and damn, I'm curled up in a ball crying. Didn't think I'd need this song as much as I do, but I'm glad to have heard it. I really did need it.
Ps. How is it this hard to type on a phone through tears?
@@peterwalsh19 I've been doing much better, thank you for asking. Thanks to some friends, focusing on my art, and generally even working on some body positivity. It's really really helped
what you shared made me tear up while listening to this song
Situations like this are what (I assume) this song is for………I’ve been in the same mindset for a long portion of my life; just know that as hard as it may seem, things will always get better. Much Love, keep on keeping on; u got this!
I've felt that to bro,
This song became a single at a perfect time for me. This will always be the song I remember when things go bad and I need a little dash of hope to fight the sadness
I have been ok for a long time now………but way back when I had thoughts of hurting myself, music helped me more than anything else. This song really hit home, and I hope that it has reached others who feel alone and defeated, and that they know they are loved and that no matter how bad things may seem, everything gets better. Much love!
Those lyrics though...
They're so deep XD
My favourite off their latest album, oh Rise Against, one of the only bands who are capable of continually making better and better albums! (Only minutely better though, seeing as all their albums are almost the best there can be!)
I loved this entire album too, but have you heard Shinedown's newest album? Also great
I may be a little biased considering my top 3 bands are Rise Against, Shinedown and Red though
+Dwayne Thomson I think too, the black market is great album but in Endgame every song is the best.
+luciaraio It's so hard to do better than perfect, but they always seem to pull it off.
I'll admit I miss how raw their first few albums sounded. I still absolutely love all their albums though. I've only seen them live twice. I REALLY need to fix that.
I forgot to mention tomorrow finally came after a couple years. And it’s glorious
The video just doesn't do this song justice. Most underrated RA song hands down.
saw the clip for the first time and I was a little disappointed.
Darragh Collopy you're beautiful 😍
at the release of the album, i hate this song and his melodie so rose, but now, i still feel like that XD
One of the most underrated songs ever.
God I love and miss you so much Stern!!!! 😥😢💙
There was a time in my life when both my older sister and my mom passed away shortly after each other, and it really hit me hard. I was just walking around in a haze and felt like I was running on auto pilot for a long time. But then I was walking home one day with my music on shuffle and this song came on, and it just hit me. "Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone, the never ending nights when you're awake, when you're praying that tomorrow it's ok. There will be a time to crack another smile, maybe not today or for a while, but we're holding on to laugh again someday". Those words perfectly described how I felt in that moment, and I held on to the promise of laughing again someday.
Rise Against is my favourite band of all time. Their lyrics have such depth to them because they actually stand for something and I respect that more than I could ever express. For this music video I enjoy all the lights and color changes and how they go with the music it looks awesome but I think they had so many different options that they could have gone with in terms of the girl they alternate with. But regardless this song is still so beautiful and meaningful.
Love the part in the middle where they go to the 3 beat rhythm. You hardly ever hear time changes in songs anymore and it very refreshing.
Hey, if Ross who used to work at Centre 404 is here, thanks for showing me this awesome band! This song helps me endlessly through rough times, I appreciate it so much 🤘🔥 - C.H.
This song makes me cry every time I'm listening to it. I love Rise Against so much, it's one of my favourite bands.
+Natalia Zabłotni yea I agree with you this makes reminds me of the time when like me and my twin had time together and it was my last day seeing him before he went off to his friends house and like think about when you have last days with your brother or sister that's how I feel and like I always to my girlfriend about what happened and why I am getting sad. I am with autism and a lot of other things I have depression and its really sad to listen to this song. Like I said its sad but think about the positive things and not the negative things you know?
I think this song's about to carry me for the next year or so. I needed this.
Helix13 if you still need and don’t mind going a little heavier listen to August Burns Reds’ song “Spirit Breaker”. That’s another one that gets me by
Me too
This song perfectly exemplifies being in such a dark hole and coming out of it. I can't say this song saved me. But i know it really helped me in some dark times.
It's pretty safe to say this song saved my life. I listen to it whenever I'm down and it cheers me up or at least Crack a smile. And to all those people who say they could've done a better job I challenge you to put together a band and make a life saving song with a inspiring music video.
why this only has 2 M views? , deserves more!!
We did it?
Sebastian Pacheco it's a shame that music from the rock, punk, and metal genre don't get the attention they deserve. For example this, this deserve waaay more views than what it has, people just don't seem to appreciate good music any more
Tim has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard
This will forever be the first song that comes to my mind whenever I think of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Especially the line “There will be a time to crack another smile. Maybe not today or for a while. But we’re holding on to laugh again some day.”
Saw Rise Against live in Glasgow! Best night of my life! :)
Just saw them for the 4th time and seeing them again next month. I'll NEVER get tired of seeing and hearing them. Bestest band ever
AMAZING,I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM JUST ONCE.I LIVE VERY FAR IN THE WOODS AND NEAREST CONCERTS ARE AT LEAST 3 HOURS AWAY IN EVERY DIRECTION.WHEN I SET MY SPEAKERS OUTDOORS AND CRANK IT,NOONE AROUND FOR MILES,I HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT TO RISE AGAINST
What a great heart warming message! Rise against rocks forever!
Just imagine how the band used to be like Shinedown better Than Rise Against to be on tour and This is gonna be an epic rock band in history! 🤘🏾😜🤘🏾
The 362 people whom disliked are a tragedy
they just need some time
+Moises Espejo these 2 comments were so great
hopefully when tragedy hits them they will come alive and come undone.
see what I did there ? 😎
+ time then love this now
Loved Black Market so much
OMG bro i didn't know this
this album really feels like poems that were put together and sung beautifully. the poems have meaning whether it's bad, good or just one big metaphor for life they are great. this is up there with my favorite albums by them. I do not care if it's soft, hard, or sounds kinda pop-ish this is art. also for the people saying Tim has lost his voice: no he hasn't he has a goddamn great voice even though it maybe different then what it sounded like before.
This song plucks all the right heartstrings -pain, relief, and recovery. I'm glad I am still here to be able to come back to it
Rise Against
you are my guitar heroes (ever since burnout 3, forever grateful).
paper wings :'v
Same. I'm so thankful for such game allowed me to get into these genres.
I found the band with need for speed underground 2
Give it All
Rock Band/Guitar Hero for me. I found Rise Against from "Give It All" in Rock Band 2 and "Saviour" in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
FlatOut 2
By far, one of my favourite songs.
It breaks my heart how Tim's eyes tear up at the end.
IDK why but the title is so intriguing to me. I was listening to this song in the car and started tearing up. The message is so clear, and I don't think I've come across a band that delivers their message as well as Rise Against. Thank you :)
Greetings from Germany to all RISE
This is my anthem, right now. Thank you for this one.
I wonder if anyone watches these videos anymore or am I the only one?
7 years later still going strong
You wrote this 7 years ago. I still watch them.
The beauty of Rise Against is the depth and sofistication behind their lyrics. It's never generic...everything has a deeper meaning and Tim's voice illustrates it so eloquently through Rock music. Rise Against has been my favorite band since my older brother showed them to me almost 20 years ago!
Amazingly beautiful song. Rise Against is the most amazing band with the most heartfelt and thoughtful messages. Rise is and always will be my favorite band. Thank you Rise for putting out so much love and strength for those who need it most and are most overlooked.
This song gave me back the will to live! Honestly. We all learn to laugh again someday 🖤😈
Same! All it takes is a few moments of introspection and someone/something (a heartfelt song in this case) to really make a difference in someone’s life. I hope you’re still doing well!
my fav one🖤
My favorite song, ever. Makes me smile every time I hear it and want to cry at the same time.
this song is one of the best songs they've recorded imo. its different from their usual fast tempo jams (which i love but still). this song comes off as a different twist on a message they want to spread and honestly i think they do a pretty good job conveying it.
2:34 - 3:10 Love this part!
Best song for this moment! Gave me strength to overcome everything
My uncle died right after this album came out and every time I hear this song I think of him. Almost always shed a tear and then I smile. Such an amazing song.
Cheers for a good song on repeat in the car sometimes. Shit sucks but oh well I'm still alive.
great workout music too
love this song
IF I WAS TO BE A ROCK STAR,I WOULD WANT TO BE RISE AGAINST
My buddy Tyler and I would jam out to this all the time when The Black Market was first released when we were in high school
This song is so damn good. Like really.
All the edges of the sharpest knives
In the middle of the darkest nights
Always knew that I would find you here
In the bottom of the gravest tears
I've seen enough to see it's lonely where you are
Above the cloud
Been tangling by the rooftop
She wait from ledges for advice to talk her down
Nothing matters but the pain, you're all alone
The never ending night when you're awake
When you're playing out tomorrow, it's OK
There will be the time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for a while
But we're holding on you won't forget some day
You can't forget some day
All that matters is the time we had
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
Never wonder what it might be like
Shut the door, say goodbye
When things grew tragically
We come alive or come undone
So don't look back
Let it shape you like a notion
Even the deepest scars in time will fade
Nothing matters but the pain, you're all alone
The never ending night when you're awake
When you're playing out tomorrow it's OK
There will be the time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for a while
But we're holding on you won't forget some day
You can't forget some day
And sometimes you have to go back
To know just where you were then
But we're old enough to know that
What has been, will be again and again
And the bravest of faces are the ones where we fake it
And the roles that we play
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay a while
You'll be ready then, to laugh again
Nothing matters but the pain
(We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
Nothing matters but the pain
You see what you want to see
Nothing matters but the pain
(We are misery, a distant memory)
Nothing matters but the pain
We all learned to laugh again
Yeah, we all learned to laugh again
We all learned to laugh again
There will be a time to crack another smile, maybe not today or for awhile 🤷🏻♂️ but we’re holding on to laugh again some day 🥹
That moment when you have the same guitar as your favourite guitarist. Zach you rock.
See you guys later today, so excited! :D
Saw them Monday. Fuckin' INCREDIBLE!
See you there! ;)
Yes!!! Seeing them in Birmingham today!!!! So excited :D
MiisterShane Sheffield was amazing
No mate, Birmingham UK :P
Great song. Gotta love artists that put meaning in their songs instead of endless garbage about teenage sex. Wish the rest of the world would wake up and realize where the real music is. This song gives me so much hope that someday I'll wake up and the pain I feel everyday will be gone and everything will be okay, like it once was.
Be well dude.... we're standing with ya.
This song is perfection in every single way.
This song litterally makes me cry whenever i hear it because i used to feel that way, i self-harmed and had a few suicide attempts before but then i got into bands like pierce the veil and black veil brides and they helped a little bit but then my cousin showed me this song and whenever i get the urge again i put it on and blast it and it makes me think that if i did just die then everyone whos bullied me or hurt me would get what they want and that things will get better someday, i just gotta keep holding on
Perfect.
On the edges of the sharpest knives
In the middle of the darkest nights
Always knew that I would find you here
In a puddle of the bravest tears
I've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are
Above the crowd
Feet dangling from a rooftop (a rooftop)
She waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
Never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for a while
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
To laugh again some day
All that matters is the time we had
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
Never wonder what it might be like
Shut the door, say goodbye
When faced with tragedy
We come alive or come undone
So don't hold back, let it shape you like an ocean
Even the deepest scars in time will fade
Nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
Never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's okay
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for a while
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
Yeah, we're holding on to laugh again someday
And sometimes you have to go back
To know just where you were then
But we're old enough to know that
What has been, will be again and again
And the bravest of faces are the ones where we fake it
And the roles that we play
Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds, tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay a while
You'll be ready then, to laugh again
Nothing matters but the pain
(We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
Nothing matters but the pain
You see what you want to see
Nothing matters but the pain
(We are misery, a distant memory)
Nothing matters but the pain
We all learned to laugh again
Yeah, we all learned to laugh again
We all learned to laugh again
I am speechless....sad, happy and hopeful at the same time... only Rise Against can do this.
I love them....just love them.
I had the privilege of seeing Rise Against live when I was 16 years old and now I'm 25 and they still remain my favourite band, I've seen a lot of critiques about their musical direction but just like people, they grow too as does my love for them. Thank you Rise Against for keeping real music alive 💕
I love how SO MANY people lost the point of the song cause of the video, I still think that Rise Against is a great band and this song has helped me out of depression countless times so far, and People Live Here is a great song too, Bridges is kinda meh to me, Methadone is good too
I feel the same way about this song. It may not be the best but it helped me a lot. People are bashing on the song without fully realising the message behind the lyrics. They see the video and instantly think its rediculous or inappropriate. I admit I am surprised to see rise against do a video like this. But the lyrics still carry the message either way. Oh btw I fucking love bridges haha. Thats our one difference about this lol.
many people don't seem to care about the song itself because of the video, but I still enjoy this song regardless of other people's opinions. I mean yeah the video is bad and not really their standard of MV but the song is pretty good and worth jamming to.
PS: I love your Twilight icon :3
MarterMachine Thanks ^_^
I love every song from The Black Market, it's poetry to me. And I write my own story to this music video, I respect it so much, because it can be interpretated on many different levels..
efadfa3
Guys... y'all remeber the video for savior? GIANT PLUSHES. GIANT FREAKING PLUSHES. Stop complaining aout this video now x)
Exactly
Yeh, but it had a story. Republicans = elephant
Polar bear population is dwindling due to global warming denial. Elephant gets trampled and polar bear puts differences aside to help comfort elephant.
Weird but well thought out.
idufalalot ... Oh, ok... But it still doesn't really fit to the song... Right?
TheSkyKidOf68 fits the song fine
Eric Stacy Really? Could you tell me how it fits please? ( I'm not raging or anything I just don't know how to ask more nicely ^^" )
So many arguments about the video. Not every single video has to be a symbolic masterpiece. I enjoyed it and Tim McIlrath never disappoints with his amazing lyrics and spectacular voice!
This is one of the greatest songs I've heard. This is definitely one of my top favorite songs. It's phenomenal.
