All the Rage
Funeral for a Friend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us
There's nothing here but a wasteland,

And I can still see the graves of the dead
But it's useless
Most of us would rather sit
Than see this wound
That we have created
Let's not last the night
Let's not last the night

I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy

Senseless and I'm not sure why
I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Or all of the questions
It's got to be good for something

So we'll chalk this and we'll mount the dead
On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads

I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy

Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it (and really mean it)
And really mean it

Go

Why do we need this
Who was it that said
That great things come to great men
Well that fucker lied to us




There's nothing here but a wasteland
There's nothing here

Overall Meaning

but a wasteland in "All the Rage" by Funeral for a Friend. The song begins with a philosophical question asking why we need the things we think we need, and pointing out the misleading nature of the saying that great things come to great men. The pessimistic tone of the song is underscored by the imagery of graves and a wasteland, suggesting that the world around us is barren and without hope. The lyrics also suggest a sense of frustration and helplessness, as the singer laments that they do not have the answers to the questions they are asking.


The chorus of the song includes the repeated phrase, "I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy." This suggests a frustration with the societal expectation to always be kind and accommodating, even in the face of injustice or wrongdoing. The lyrics also mention sitting in the back seat, being bored by someone's body, and apologizing repeatedly while questioning the sincerity of the apology. These lines could be interpreted in the context of a personal relationship, or as a commentary on larger societal issues such as gender dynamics and power imbalances.


Line by Line Meaning

Why do we need this
Questioning why the situation is the way it is


Who was it that said
Asking who is responsible for the current state of affairs


That great things come to great men
Recalling that someone claimed success is only for the exceptional


Well that fucker lied to us
Disagreeing with the aforementioned claim


There's nothing here but a wasteland
Concluding that everything is bleak and desolate


And I can still see the graves of the dead
Reflecting on the death and destruction that has occurred


But it's useless
Feeling helpless and without purpose


Most of us would rather sit
Acknowledging that apathy has set in


Than see this wound
Preferring ignorance to facing the harsh reality


That we have created
Admitting that society is responsible for its own problems


Let's not last the night
Urging for change to occur before it's too late


I'm sick and I'm tired of always being the good guy
Frustrated with always trying to do the right thing


Senseless and I'm not sure why
Feeling lost and directionless


I'm not going to pretend that I know all the answers
Admitting to not having all the solutions


Or all of the questions
Acknowledging that there are still many unknowns


It's got to be good for something
Hoping that the struggle and pain is not in vain


So we'll chalk this and we'll mount the dead
Acknowledging the death toll and tallying the cost


On the fireplace above right above our guilded heads
Displaying the toll as a reminder to do better


Like sitting in the back seat (it's all the rage)
Sarcastically noting that ignorance and apathy are popular


And boring me with your body (it's all the rage)
Disgusted with superficial and empty relationships


How many times can I say I'm sorry (it's all the rage)
Wishing apologizing for societal problems wasn't necessary


And really mean it (and really mean it)
Desiring real change and progress


Go
Urging for action and change to occur

Best fucking soundtrack. Burnout 3 was solid aswell. Avenged Sevenfold - Beast & The Harlot, B4MV - Hand Of Blood and this played basically on repeat.
