Question:
What is your perspective on what these lyrics mean?
"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'd ever find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.
The lines we cross in search of change,
but all they see is treason."
Especially the last sentence "The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason."???
and in case anybody wants to know what the song is its called Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against
Answers:
It appears to be about rebellion and standing up for what one believes in, no matter the odds. The line, "The lines we cross in search of change, but all they see is treason." seems to be referring to crossing a picket or protest line, and how some see change and rebellion as a treasonous act.
