Chamber The Cartridge Lyrics - Rise Against

This is NOISE

Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris,
in alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight.
Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night
Echoes by names between each car, are you happy where you are?

Blind to this impending FATE
we let the world carry your WEIGHT.
It's back breaks with every mile
but we all live in denial! [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
Is it too late to reverse what we've become? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
What's mine was always yours and yours is mine...
Let's go!

And so we carry on each day, as if our lifes are not so grey,
while every breath that we take we only suffocate.
Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed on wall street,
A single mom of three, a TV personality!

Blind to this impending FATE
they let the world carry their WEIGHT.
Its back breaks with every mile
but they all live in denial! [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
Is it too late to reverse what we've Become? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
What's mine was always yours and yours is mine...

Save us, from what we have become tonight....
EYES, glazed with distrust,
No sense of wrong or right [x3]

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
Is it too late to reverse what we've Become? [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time [WhooaWhooooaWhoooaWhoa]
What's mine was always yours and yours is mine...

Who we are | Reviewer: John | 12/19/12

Honestly this song to me is about who we are and how we have treated everyone and everything in this world. "Is it too late to reverse what we've Become?" And also how greedy we are with everything now. And it has to do with global warming as well. Just my opinion though. Love all their songs!

Amazing song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/4/12

The people who think this song is about global warming or pollution or whatever are looking too much at the details rather than the whole picture. And the person who said that rise against songs always have meanings that can easily be found on the surface is soo wrong. I think this song has something to do with the economy. The begining contrasts being no one who lives on dirty streets with a rich someone who lives in a skyscraper. Then you are asked if you are happy with your way of life. Then Tim suggests that something is going to happen to change everything.

Lol RA | Reviewer: Anon | 5/7/11

A lot of the time, Tim's songs are exactly what they seem to be. For example, Prayer of the Refugee or Ready to Fall. And, all his song's are along the same theme. If you know this band at all, I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself.

Ignorance is bliss | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/22/10

My humble interpretation is that we humans can be cruel and selfish at times. In an ideal world there is no poverty famine disease Etc --suffering. Reality is that human history is rife with war, indifference to suffering of others, acts of selfishness and cruelty to other living beings including our kind. All resulting from our ignorance of the truth. It is a sick, sad world but can we change for the better? And are we heading to that direction?

This Song | Reviewer: shadow | 9/10/09

This song is the first song I've ever heard from Rise against and I love it so much. I listened to it for about 2 days straight when I first heard it. This song, to me, is about how people do a lot of wrong things in life, but think that after they do what they did then the after effects are non-existent. And also about how some people want to know if it's too late to atone for their mistakes.

Incredible | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/29/09

Interpretations aside, it's worth noting that this is, in my opinion, the best song Rise Against have ever done. Not only does it have meaning as with all their songs, but it's so powerful, so frantic. It is fucking perfect

Hooray for...........................Ronald | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/19/09

I don't think this is about Global Warming, you have to look beyond the literal meaning. I believe this is about humanities inability to see that we're destroying ourselves, and how quickly we forget the wrong we've done.

Great | Reviewer: Mennowar | 3/6/09

It's always the same with Rise Against. First, I like their music because of the music, but when I read the lyrics (I'm Dutch, so I don't hear them very well the first time), the songs are really amazing. It's almost unimaginable how people can write such true and awsome lyrics.

Great song | Reviewer: Ryan | 12/26/08

the beginning of this song is actually "This is Noyes" and not "This is Noise", it's a recording from the Chicago Transit Authority's Purple Line Train, at the "Noyes" station.

I believe this song is about the blurr that life can become... and when you look back sometimes the things you did were worthless in a situation where you could have made the difference, this song is about the Human Flaw of a Disposition to go with the crowd to make things smoother.

meaning? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/08

pollution? global warming? earth being destroyed? that's what I think anyway.

"We let the world carry your weight.
It's back breaks with every mile"
talks about how we're all leaving our mark on the world with our pollution, then how its breakin 'the worlds back'

"while every breath that we take we only suffocate"
Co2 in the air.

"But we all live in denial."
How most people are refusing to realize that we are destroying the earth and we need to at least TRY to chance what we've done and reverse all the shit we've f*cked up with our stupid ways.

but that's what I think.

amazing | Reviewer: Tanner | 8/21/08

I think this song is about all the pollution were putting in our streets and how no matter what evidence we see, we still believe it's not us causing us, also were letting or future children deal with our mistakes and they wll have to suffer and clean up our messes

Response to Meg | Reviewer: joey | 3/9/08

My interpretation is that the song is adressing global warming. And how the world is "carrying our weight", and many people are in denial.
"while every breath that we take we only suffocate" is adressing all the carbon in the air.

awsome song | Reviewer: Joey | 3/9/08

My interpretation is that the song is adressing global warming. And how were letting the earth "carry our weight" and many people are in denial of global warming.
