| Rise Against – Prayer Of The Refugee Lyrics

This song to me, is him talking to his father... His father says "Warm yourself by the fire, son, And the morning will come soon. I’ll tell you stories of a better time, In a place that we once knew."
The son knows of this place.. but as we get older, we see how hard things can really get. His dad is trying to protect him, but in the process is holding him down. The son proves he is unafraid of the future lying ahead, knowing how rough it can get and how to deal with it. "We are the angry and the desperate, The hungry, and the cold, We are the ones who kept quiet, And always did what we were told.
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm, In the safety of your home. We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up Everything you’ve known."
He is just telling his 'father' OR an authority figure, that he doesn't need their help, and that he can make it on his own and that he is beyond them. To be brave and get through the things (that held down the ones he's known) and not be afraid from ever knowing the truth in his eyes. |

Well i know S.O. aren't straight edgers or anything.. but i think this song is about how cowardly it is to excessively use drugs as a means of solving something?? or just being fucked up all of the time.. doesn't bode well for anyone. that's what i gather. |

I think it's about how he's dealing with being stuck in a hard place with someone. Ran out of answers to give the other person. He's drinking and not worrying about it. Trying to remain calm and cool, while at the same time pretty disturbed by the position he seems to think the other person put him in. |
