Atlas, Rise! Lyrics
Curses rest on thee
Solitaire and sorrow
All eternity
Save the Earth and claim perfection
Deem the mass and blame rejection
Hold the pose, fein perception
Grudges break your back
All you bear
All you carry
All you...

This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

It is about the greek titan Atlas who was forced to hold up the world as in the greek stories the lines "How does it feel on your own, bound by the world all alone. Crushed under heavy skies Atlas rise!' and other verses prove that it is about the story

Atlas is the name of an Air Force ICBM nuclear tipped missile from the 1960's. It itself was pretty badass of an engineering marvel during the height of space race. Atlas rise refers to an Atlas missile launch. Crushed by the heavy skies refers to unknown doom ahead or of the many launch failures. Perhaps one could interpret it as the unknown journey in life pending failure. I think the lyrics do the old missile justice. Thank God we never had to launch any at Russia.

I think this is about doing something important, but not being recognized for it, and resenting others for that-
"Save the Earth and claim perfection
Deem the mass and blame rejection
Hold the pose, reign perception
Grudges break your back"
and finally getting recognition, but finding it's not what you wanted-
"Masquerade as maker
Heavy is the crown
Beaten down and broken
Drama wears you down
Overload, the martyr stumbles
Hit the ground and heaven crumbles
All alone, the fear shall humble
Swallow all your pride"
