"Survivor Guilt" by Rise Against explores the emotional burden felt by those who have survived a traumatic event while others did not. The lyrics reflect feelings of guilt, confusion, and questioning of one's own worthiness to have survived when others did not. The song highlights the struggles faced by survivors as they grapple with the aftermath of tragedy.
Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, believed that the urban poor would eventually rise up against the factory owners in a revolution. Marx argued that the conflict between the working class (proletariat) and the capitalist class (bourgeoisie) would lead to the overthrow of capitalism and the establishment of a socialist society.
Many of his lyrics point towards him being Agnostic, although there is no definite answer at the moment. For example, In "Disparity by Design" the lyric "And if there's a God, You'd better pray" Which is a strong indication that he is unsure of the existence of a higher power.
Pressing their hands against their thighs can provide additional support and leverage, making it easier for the elderly person to push themselves up from a seated position. This action can help engage their leg muscles and provide stability, reducing the risk of falls or injuries.
The phrase "hang out" originated in the 19th century and refers to spending time idly or relaxing in a casual manner, often in a social setting. It likely evolved from the concept of things hanging loosely or being suspended, reflecting the laid-back nature of spending time with friends or acquaintances.
The phrase "thrown for a loop" originates from the idea of being disoriented or confused, as if metaphorically thrown off course or off balance like a roller coaster "loop." It conveys a sense of surprise or shock at a sudden unexpected turn of events.
Rise Against writes songs predominantly about social and political issues including war, inequality, environmental destruction, and activism. They often aim to inspire change and raise awareness about important topics.
The phrase "or bust" likely originated from the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s when prospectors would say "California or bust" to signify their determination to reach California in search of gold. It is now used more broadly to emphasize a strong commitment to achieving a particular goal or outcome.
The phrase "None of your beeswax" likely originated as a playful and slightly humorous way of telling someone that something is none of their business. It is a polite way of saying that the topic being discussed does not concern the other person. The use of "beeswax" in place of "business" is thought to have originated in the early to mid-20th century.
The phrase originally was an insult. It compared the way that a person who is considered a simpleton wags their head around while thinking, to a noodle flopping around.
Many people found Rise Against after the release of the song Prayer of the Refugee off the album The Sufferer & The Witness. Their rate of recognition seemed to increase after this album but they are certainly not a "one hit wonder" band. They have climbed relatively steadily since 1999.
All of the members are Agnostic. They do not ridiculue christianity in any way, but they do mention God in their lyrics sometimes:
"Would God bless the murder of the innocents? Would God bless a war based on pride? Would God bless a money-hungry government? NO!"
- Blood-Red, White and Blue
"Is there a god tonight, up in the sky, or is it empty just like me?"
- Life Less Frightening
etc...they do not worship any deity, it is just what they believe. Hope I helped!!

It's purely an opinion based question. I think that The Sufferer and the Witness was their best (it was certified as Gold by the RIAA, y'know). Either way, here are a few RA gems that you can give a listen to:
-Help is on the Way (EndGame)
-Prayer of the Refugee (The Sufferer and the Witness)
-Paper Wings (Siren Song of the Counter Culture)
-Roadside (The Sufferer and the Witness)
-Savior (Appeal to Reason)
-Swing Life Away (Siren Song of the Counter Culture)
No, some people say that Tim McIlrath joined the army, but if you see his Bio in Wikipedia it won't say anything like that.
