| This was my first favorite Rise Against song.... Ever. (I bought ssotcc first, because I'm only a stupid noob). It's a beautiful song and I love the line "And still I wait with a hope inside of me...". It reminds me of the song Invincible by No Use for a Name, "And I'm crazy to think that you'll wake up and come around" because they're both about that tiny little flicker of hope, deep, deep inside your heart that everything will be okay. It gives me the shivers, this song. | |

| agree with you, dud, but i think this one does haveta do a bit with a girl.. Still I wait With a hope inside of me (inside of me) So still (so still) I wait (I wait) Until again we meet Until again we meet Within my bones this resonates Boiling blood will circulate Could you tell me again what you did this for? “I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me Never have I felt so cold I have no more blood to bleed As my heart has been draining into the sea it just fits | |

| At their show near Valentines day they said: "So, how was your Valentines Day? Well, I spent mine with three men. Well, here's a song about when your heart is broken" Then they started playing Blood to Bleed. THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME! | |

| Its deifinetly about a breakup. I don't think he wanted it though and can't bear the fact that she doens't love him anymore. "Time spent wondering about tomorrow" maybe is the future they had planned together and he doesn't know what to do now. But he still waits "with a hope inside of me" | |

| This song is definetly about a break. I always liked it and thought it was one of the stronger songs on their new poppier albume. but recently this song has gained new meaning in my life. this situation has just happened to me. My gf of 3.5yrs suddently decided she didnt love me anymore and totally broke my heart. This is the worst feeling in the world, when someone you love doesnt love you back anymore. its terrible and i dont wish it on anyone. not even my enemies. "within my boned this resonates. boiling blood will circulate. Could You Tell Me Again What You Did This For? I dont love you anymore is all I Remember you telling me. Never Have I Felt So Cold. I have no more Blood To Bleed, Cause my heart has been drained into the see"--this song is me | |

| This is one of my fav songs - rise against is fucken amazing! And its definitely about a break-up. some of the lyrics are wrong - in the 2nd verse it's: Steps, I take in your footsteps Aren't getting me closer to what is left And in the chorus its: But I've no more blood to bleed Coz my heart has been draining into the sea | |

| This is an amazing song. Rise Against are wicked. This song, IMO, is about a breakup, as said before, and you cannot convince me otherwise unless there is a quote of one of the band members stating otherwise. | |

| there should be no question in anybodies mind about the meaning. i KNOW it's about a breakup. and a shitty one at that. like most ppl here, it fits pretty well in one fling i had. no reason y she broke up with me, she just did "Could you tell me again what you did this for?" i've never been the same since. damn just figured out myself (hell yeah!). anyway, my fav song from rise against | |

| Yes, this song is most likely about a break-up, but I take it to be about a broken friendship. One of my best friends just told me that they wanted to forget all about me, out of nowhere. I was devastated, and then I heard this song. It fits with my situation so well. I absolutely love it. | |
