The song "Long Forgotten Sons" to me, is about a number of things. "Far from home on a road unknown where the vultures circle on winds that blow from northern skies that haunt these waking moments." Tim is talking about how soldiers are sent overseas(Far from home on a road unknown) and face unpredictible dangers from the terrorists.(Where the vultures circle on winds that blow).
The chorus," We are the long forgotten sons, and daughters that don't belong to anyone, And we are alone under this sun, as we work to fix the work that you've undone." This talks about us as the rising generation, having to work to fix the many problems that our predecessors have left us.

The song "Satellite" to me, is about living life to the fullest. "Your can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame, you have to cross the line just to remember where it lays" says that we need not worry about what MIGHT happen, but we should worry about what did NOT happen, because we were afraid to cross the line.

This video is a great example of what happens when bullying is taken too far. This ties in with their song "Make It Stop". Casey Heynes, the boy being punched, has been made fun of because of his weight for years and finally snaps.

Found a great song, "Worth Dying For" shows that the reason for war is because of the fact that we love this world so much, we're willing to die for it. "We are the ones in competition, but claim this ain't no race." This portrays America's self believed superiority over the rest of world, which is why most of them hate America. All in all, great song, good meaning, go check it out.

Rise Against is from Chicago, Illinois, and was formed in 1999. Their latest album, Endgame, focuses more on enviromental and political issues such as natural disasters with "Help Is On The Way" and bullying with "Make It Stop". The band members themselves also set a good image, they are all vegan/vegetarian, all straight edge other than the drummer, and actively support animal rights and promote PETA with the band. The song "Ready To Fall" spins a tale of how badly animals are treated before they are butchered for their meat, it shows factories where this happens.

Check out the video bar up top, linked to Rise Against's YouTube channel. Lots of good songs/behind the scenes in there.
