The Approaching Curve Lyrics
Artist(Band):Rise Against
[Spoken:]
The music blared with a calming frequency.
The speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion,
creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.
The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streets with melted snow cascaded down its length.
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.
The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn.
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road,
and she hadn’t so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes,
nor had we spoken.
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.
They'll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
[Spoken:]
“Why are you doing this?” she spoke as if not expecting a response.
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so suddenly that my heart had jumped.
“I’m not doing anything,” I said, but I didn’t even believe that myself.
“This is what’s best, for me, for you, for us or maybe just for me,” I thought,
as a tear formed in the pit of her eye. The music poured through the speakers
and we were losing ourselves in the cadence. She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes
for a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying. Then she was shouting.
Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions,
we barely even knew the questions.
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.
They’ll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
Don’t put me under ground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.
Please Love give me the wheel before both of our hearts you will steal tonight. (Will steal tonight.)
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
They'll remember, only your smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.
As we were, so perfect, so happy.
[Spoken:]
Our cracking voices became part of the music.
The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,
the cadence again overtook the air.
Up ahead there was a curve approaching.
She made no indications of slowing.

Amazing | Reviewer: Adrian | 12/14/2007
this song got me hooked on them. a friend put the suffering and the witness on my ipod, and i was shuffling one night while studying for a test. i was so amazed, i listened to the cd multiple times and then downloaded the siren song of the counter culture. It was so amazing. i had to read the lyrics though, this song is so in depth...amazing band. thanks guys.
Amazing. | Reviewer: Wow. | 12/12/2007
This song is just flat out amazing. Who would have thought a band so punk and powerful as Rise Against could have produced this? Not I. I have been a fan of them from day one, but this is just beyond me. I'm at a loss for words. Great stuff from a great band. Cheers.

Easily throat hardening...Best damn Punk in years | Reviewer: Angelis | 10/17/2007
Rise against delivers a loud heart-wrenching sound with lyrics and vocals that tear at your heart and mind. Easily the sound of a new generation of punk rock, This band shows and delivers what rock music was always meant to be. Gotta give it to em' not to many bands nowadays can actually break away from the growing trend that is emo music and prove what the combo between guitar, bass, drums, and vocals were meant to sound like. My hat tips to this band. ROCK ON!!
Rise Against Rocks!! | Reviewer: calixa | 10/12/2007
at first i didnt like this song but after a while it really got to me. i listened to it over and over again just to listen to the lyrics. The writing is amazing, better than some books! Never gonna find another song like this! Its awesome! my other faves of rise against are..(this is gonna be a lot, so i'll TRY to keep it short):dancing for rain, the first drop, swing life away, injection, but tonight we dance, to them these streets belong, torches, tip the scales, behind closed doors, survive....omg so much more!
Amazing! | Reviewer: Cammi | 10/15/2007
