Rising Assent


1. Godspeed, Anberlin - I’ve always felt that this song represented me. I’ve never put too much emphasis on my faith, and Anberlin is a band that suffers from the same. The song describes the errors in the basic logic we are taught as children such as: “the good die young”. It describes what the actual world is like, a total contrast from what we have been taught as children.

2. Duality, Slipknot – Duality is described as the life changing paths that everyone will come to one day. The song however, sings about the pain about choosing of the two paths. For me, it’s close to the same as the song dictates. At times when I’m forced to make important decisions such as league selection, the pain just rises again. Of course not the point of stress where I want to kill myself, but I just want someone else to take the load.

3. One Last Breath, Creed – One Last Breath is a song that kicks in after ever major event I’ve ever done. Exams, tests, esports, etc. I always think to myself that there were numerous mistakes that I made, but never bothered to fix them.

4. A Watchful Guardian, Hans Zimmer – Originally apart of the Dark Knight OST, I decided to rip it out and set it atone to my own life. The song has its ups and downs. It starts as a commanding lead, quickly dying off in to a shrill refrain and finally increasing to a dominating ending. I like to use this song to chart out my day. Some times, I may feel down. Other times, the commanding nature kicks in.

5. Pain, Three Days Grace – I haven’t OD’d on painkillers as of now so I probably can’t understand the full meaning of this song. However, I do substitute “painkillers” with other things such as anything that has a negative effect on me. I don’t like to go through with things that have a negative impact. It’s easier just to skip past them completely. Such as school …just kidding, don’t take that seriously.

6. Believe Me, Fort Minor – I’ve been fan of FM ever since they premiered underground. Now that they’ve got mainstream, I haven’t lost any faith. I think Believe Me is about the experiences in our life where we feel betrayed. The guilt that follows after a betrayal. How much you hate their guts and just want to have nothing to with them. Not much else to be said.

7. Rebirthing, Skillet – I feel this song describes me because I sort of feel that I’ve lost my way. I wasn’t ever heavy on religion, but these days I feel a bit lost. Sort of like someone who has just realized that the meaning of life is just to eat, sleep, play.

8. Attack, 30 Seconds To Mars – I respect this song, for one reason and one reason only. Finish what you’re doing, don’t give up on it. *reminisces on his CAL-M days*

9. Tools of the Trade, Mike Shinoda, Ryu, Celph Titled – Tools Of the Trade is one of the most well known underground rap freestyles (for the very limited fanbase it has). The song is recorded once and only once with makeshift instruments such as a pot, beer bottle, a piece of paper, and a bottle opener. In a way, I am very much like this song. I don’t ever have a plan prepared for an activity, I just think of something at the top of my mind and follow through it. To be honest, I’m doing it as I write this.

10. Supernatural, Flyleaf – I’ve adored Flyleaf for years now. Ever since they debut in 2006, I’ve loved the song Supernatural. It reminds me of myself. Someone who is not completely sure of what they are and can’t figure out what they want to do. The sufferings they go through day by day, just to try and figure out what they really are. It’s a direct description of me.
