Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We're not running, we're not running.
There's a point I think we're missing,
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other,
My sister, my brother.
About the time we gave up hoping,
We never find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.
The lines we've cross in search of change,
but all they see is treason
[Chorus:]
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
(Break out) I won't be left here,
Behind closed doors.
Bonfires burn like beacons,
Guiding the lost and weakened.
Flames dance on crashing waves,
Guiding ships who've gone astray
Time out, let's stop and think this through,
We've all got better things to do,
Than talk in circles, run in place,
Answers inches from our face.
[Chorus]
Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let it run,
down my lips into my swollen gums,
When hope is non-existent,
Our instincts all scream "Run",
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue.

Review about Behind Closed Doors Just believe in yourself... | Reviewer: Colton | 11/30/09
Songs have different meanings to different people. To me this song is about sticking to what you believe in, not backing down no matter how bad things get and helping those who support you in your life.

such a great song. if you like this try rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated and to them streets belong. both underrated songs from siren song of the counter culture. this song means so much but if you look at the lyrics it seems to mean to stick true to yourself and not even back down in the face of impossible odds.
curtis...Major rise against fan! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/13/09
one of the best songs of all time! it is so perfect of the human life."Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive"....Perfect in every way. and its not depresssing in any way like that emo horse shit! this is such a true band to rock and emotion! and when i mean emotion i dont mean go in a corner and cut yourself i mean uplifting in a way....
By far, greatest band ever. | Reviewer: Kasey | 4/4/09
i am so in love with tim, it's hard to understand. been to just one concert and if i had to choose, i'd pick that concert to relive for the rest of my life. they are so amazing, it's kind of ridiculous to even try putting it in words. <3
anthem | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/11/09
the lyrics in this song is really motivating, i see it as an anthem. the line 'Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive' is really good in a way that it is anti all the emo shit out there in the music and it shows how important it is to stay alive.
best song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/08
it's on of those few songs you can actually sit down and listen to the lyrics and actually think about it for a while. not a lot of songs got that anymore, it's all turned into meaningless shit. rap and hip hop's all about gettin money and bangin chicks, techno has no lyrics at all, then alone meaning, and pop aint much better then rap shit.
rise against are a truly amazing band, hope their newer stuff is still as good and meaningful as this song.
Rise against | Reviewer: Mb!^0\/\/!\!13 | 12/10/08
I've listened to rise against for a couple months now and this is my all time favorite song. This song explains so much of my life and stops and just makes me think and i need work. everybody does but you dont hear music like this anymore. that is why they are my favorite band. they are some of the only people who think about a song as a meaning not just explaining how they want sex or the fighting in the wars. you just need to explain the reaons for people to understand.
true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/08
everyone is right.
ive been a fan of rise against for a while now and ive never looked back.
i am a singer/songwriter myself and if im stuck for lyrics, i listen to rise against for inspiration. it is hard, to stay true to them in the age of rap, but i hope that the people who really dig deep and listen to these lyrics wont back down, never turn their back and this especially, NEVER be left behind closed doors.
this is what music really means to me.
touching | Reviewer: Om-Nom-Asaurus | 8/28/08
I downloaded a heap of Rise Against songs after I heard this song coz I don't think I've heard many songs latety that aren't about some broad someone f*cked or some rapping shit. This song serious puts in perspective how much worse things could and that though you may be hurt standing up for yourself is probz the best way to take things. MAJOR cheer up song and I love it to death :D it truly is touching!
one of the few | Reviewer: Thief | 8/1/08
this is one of the few songs that when you listen too you actually sit down and go "damn....." and think about shit for a minute, it's hard to find that anymore with all this rap bullshit that only talks about getting money and f*cking b*itches
