    When I was young, songs like this one would grab my attention because of the sound. After growing up and learning english, I'm amazed by how meaningful are the lyrics of hard rock and metal from 2000 and 2010's. Sometimes it hit like a truck.

      It'ss almost like it was predictive programming or foreshadowing a future events.
      But we know how it goes; the same people that run Hollywood can see into the future with unworldly source, and they can't help but too slowly force-fed you or feed you messages that will slowly condition you in the future of what will happen next.
      Just like how 9/11 was predicted by so much Hollywood movies.

    This song means alot to me because me and my family are actual imigrants who had to flee our home country. We were actual refugees in the literal sense and had to flee twice because the first time was toclose to home and was torisky to stay in the second country. This song had a special place in my heart ever sinse i first heard it.

      Most minimum wage jobs are basically modern sweat shoes, employers refuse to hire enough workers so they can guilt trip the ones they have into doing more and more work, then they complain like no one wants to work.
      (Also the song is mainly about refuges but also uses sweat shopes in the imagery)

    Lyrics:
    Warm yourself by the fire, son
    And the morning will come soon
    I'll tell you stories of a better time
    In a place that we once knew
    Before we packed our bags
    And left all this behind us in the dust
    We had a place that we could call home
    And a life no one could touch
    So don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    Don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    We are the angry and the desperate
    The hungry, and the cold
    We're the ones who kept quiet
    And always did what we were told
    But we've been sweating while you slept so calm
    In the safety of your home
    We've been pulling out the nails that hold up
    Everything you've known
    Don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    Don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    So open your eyes, child
    Let's be on our way
    Broken windows and ashes
    Are guiding the way
    Keep quiet no longer
    We'll sing through the day
    Of the lives that we've lost
    And the lives we've reclaimed
    Don't
    Don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    Don't hold me up now
    I can stand my own ground
    I don't need your help now
    You will let me down, down, down!
    Don't hold me up
    (I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
    Don't hold me up
    (I don't need your help)
    No! No! No!
    Don't hold me up!
    (I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)

      They really should. I've seen hundreds of bands live, even bands that I enjoy much more than Rise Against, but I've never seen a band that sounds so alike their recorded work. It's seriously identical to how they actually sound, and neither have I ever seen a band put on such a good show. I will never forget the experience I had seeing them live. It was transcendent, to say the least.

    I always felt identified with this song from the point of view of my family starting to lose everything (job, house, and even the very family), and myself as a teenager having to fight harder than the rest to achieve anything I wanted. Then now I'm also feeling identified but from a political standpoint, looking at the reality of my falling country (Argentina), it's crisis, and how the governments show themselves as "holding us up", but in reality they are just burying us further down. And if the course of things keep its path, the unevitable runaway into exile. Feels like this is the very song that fits my life. But I'm no fool though, I know I'm still lucky and I'm neither the hungry or the cold. I'm just stuck held down, further down each day but still have the chance to fight against it. Sadly there are people, the people for whom the song is really about, that are held way further down than me and can only fight for survival. For those out there, my hopes for you to have the strength to hold your ground, and mainly the strength to still get yourselves a proper education while fighting starvation, cause that's the very tool that can make you really strike back out of misery. No one can fight for us, they'll just let us down. We have to be the ones to stand our own grounds.

      You can look at India and China, and Texas oil towns. India/China were at one point making everything for very little. India's become the IT Software gurus. China has enjoyed a boom from the American consumer. The Chinese are buying up all sorts of land in the US. But when they start to make money, then the shops move to Korea, Vietnam. Cambodia. They are all enjoying the transition. You can look at Texas oil fields as an example, once the resources are gone, prosperity moves on.
