Rise Against - Audience Of One (High Quality Video)

[friskybearslol]

i think that in this song that the little kid is supposed to be bush, with everything he screwed up like the closed up clinic, and the school reduced to ruins it really shows insight in the situation

[mikezdazda]

the kid symbolizes any leader in power, once the power goes to their head. bush is just the most recent example.

[paintball60093]

its sad once you think about it...

i mean, i still have about a thousand army men boxed up in my closet that i never play with anymore :((

[batdoogle]

The fuckin allout most amazing band in history

[StMisery]

whats the message in the video?

[wardude08]

great song

and i agree with the dude who works 4 rise against(jarcher182) great lyrics

[jarcher182]

I agree, this really is truly great songwriting.. I mean, the line "We're all okay, until the day we're not". Wow, I mean, just wow.. that's incredibly deep and thought-provoking, I mean, wow, HOW in the world did they even COME UP with something so profound? "We're all okay.. until the day we're not". WOW!!! HOW INSIGHTFUL, THIS IS TRULY THE MOST AMAZING SONGWRITING THAT HAS EVER EXISTED IN HUMAN HISTORY.

[wardude08]

u sound like u work 4 rise against

lol

r u advertizeing

[solidhadriel]

It symbolism you incoherent moron for the negligence or ignorance of our actions and our consequences and then one day realizing the reality of the situation... "We're all okay... Until the day we're not..."

You should really learn to interpret the meaning of things before posting such crap.

[papimanuel]

fucking kid crushed my fave band

i love this song/ band

there the greatest

[mvpisbetterthanyou]

only meassage i might be missing in this is what is with the kid takin pics of the naked prisioners 4?

[jarcher182]

It's supposed to be like the little scandal at Guatanamo Bay prison, where some of the soliders were doing wierd things with the prisoners to break down their resistance to interrogation

[mvpisbetterthanyou]

cheers thanks dude guess i didn't here anything about that here cus i live in australia

[Keevz13]

Was that supposed to be sarcasm?

[mvpisbetterthanyou]

um no i live in australia and we don't give a shit about ur news! even know we have to fuckin listen to it

[YoriLynn]

Most. Amazing. Rise Against. Video. Ever. it took me forever to relize that it was the white house, like, the video was done.

But anyway, this is officially (in my head at least) the best song ever and now my favorite!!!!

[Keevz13]

Go check out our going away present to W, in the form of our new video for "Audience Of One."

-Rise Against

So yeah, its a celebration of Bush leaving.

[kbecker242]

i know everyone else has said this but this video was for W. idk if anyone else noticed the 8 candles on the birthday cake

[kbecker242]

the reason i think there are 8 candles on cake is because W. was president for 8 years

[yinyang3302]

"i brought down the sky for you, but all you did was shrug" best line in the song

[3guysandaBulldog]

lol "we ran like vampires from a thousand burning 'sons'"

just so you know... its 'suns' haha

[badatvideogames1]

no,

it doesn't mean sun as in the big ball of fire

it means as in father and son

"a thousand burning sons" = war/a thousand sons dying

[mvpisbetterthanyou]

it does mean like a ball of fire it is a metaphor vampires don't like the sun so 1000 suns means they will run alot faster and more frightened which is what he is sayin they ran away scared even though they should have stayed

[badatvideogames1]

yeah, that's one of the meanings, but the other one is that they run away from a thousand burning 'sons' (a thousand dying children) the same way a vampire would run from a thousand burning 'suns'

[mvpisbetterthanyou]

i nkow bro the vampire metaphor is for the war senario and how they should have stayed

[badatvideogames1]

my bad, it is a double meaning...

in regards to the vampires it means the ball of fire, but that's so random and I'm pretty sure they're not talking about vampires in this song... lol

But that cool double meaning makes it a really cool lyric

[3guysandaBulldog]

ahh makes sense now =] thanks

[oobergooberkc]

Ya they just announced in a myspace bulletin that it's a goodbye message to bush. This is deff the best song off of APTR. i hope they play it in tour this summer since they didnt the first time around.

[sk8r5124]

rumor has it that RA made this video in celebration of Bush leaving office.

[sython135]

Savior, Entertainment, or Hero of War

[lolguy9144]

me too, and savior and maybe collapse...

[Edjiek]

still hope they will make video for "hero of war"

[badatvideogames1]

Yeah Hero of War and The Dirt Whispered definitely need videos
