Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Rockstar Professional	#1 by Rockstar at Aug 17, 1976 at 10:40 AM EST
	This song fits in quite well with themes put forth in other Rise Against songs. Touched upon frequently is the contrast between enjoying life as you live it and slaving away throughout life for material gain. This is highly visible in the lines: "You're running circles around my slow pace / You've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race." The band offers a more laid back approach to life, whereas the other person hustles throughout life to come to the realization that all of his effort has not brought him much. The name of the song touches upon this theme as well. 401K retirement plans are highly representative of putting off enjoyment today for a payoff near the end of your life. As the alteration to '401 Kill" would suggest, Rise Against apparently does not find this path very worthwhile as such fruits of your labor could be used to make your life happy in the present.

	This song is about people not living life to the fullest. Just following the ways of every other person and not being yourself. Spending your whole life working, and doing nothing more. Wasting away everything. And about you knowing that you are ruining or wasting your life and not doing anything to change it.
