Rise Against: Behind Closed Doors Meaning

Song Released: 2007

Behind Closed Doors Lyrics

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...

   to me the songs meaning is as follows -
   The world as we see it today is more inclined to want to fight for superiority and all actions will be concidered hostile / treasonist. The song also makes reference to the fact that there are still Slave camps, this is very much shown through the section - "On broken backs we beg for mercy." The song itself is a protest song about the hardships mordern life throws our way, and that all we can do is overcome them

   This is about all of the injustices that are going on in the world today that we never see or dont care to pay attention to "we've all got better things to do", but also the flip side where justice wins out
