Amber Changing
Embracing the Present: Rise Against's 'Amber Changing' Unveils a Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Information kept to myself and everyone wants to know,
Keeps personal information private despite others' curiosity.
I trust the words of nobody else cause I've been there before,
Lacks trust in others' words due to past experiences.
Your voice is wasted 'cause I'm not listening
Unresponsive to communication, disregards input.
The calloused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
Engaged in writing or creation despite emotional toughness.
These eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did,
Less curious or explorative than previously.
I've seen the future, it's fading faster
Recognizes a fading future or diminishing possibilities.
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Expresses contentment with the present moment.
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Content with the current time, no desire for another.
I'm on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
Seeking contact, but met with resistance.
A shaking whisper is answering, don't call anymore your voice is wasted 'cause no one's listening
Attempts at communication met with apathy or rejection.
Freeze me in that moment, thaw me in ten years,
Desires to preserve a moment and experience it in the future.
When the fires burned out and the smoke (clears)
Imagery of a situation clearing after emotional turmoil.
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Content with the present location or situation.
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Satisfied with the current timeframe, no wish for another.
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight will never end
Desire for an endless or perpetuated moment of bliss.
Let's just pretend, let's just pretend, tonight
Expresses the wish for a moment to continue indefinitely.
Will never end
Reiterates the desire for an unending moment.
No place that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Contentment with the current location or situation.
No time that I'd rather be than right here, right now
Satisfied with the current timeframe, no desire for another.
