The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Rise Up" by the artist "Thomas Jack"

Contents

Thomas Jack's "Rise Up" speaks of embracing life's impermanence and finding freedom within chaos. The lyrical protagonist feels wisdom slipping through their fingers and time relentlessly marching forward, leaving them with a sense of confusion and a lack of understanding. They call for the smoke to rise and envelop everything, the mountains to crumble, and the sea to surge with waves, symbolizing the need for change and liberation from the old.

The chorus, "Rise Up, ocean, oh, let me just be, and let the waves crash all around me," can be interpreted as the protagonist's desire to relinquish control, trust the flow of life, and embrace all its challenges. They crave the freedom to be themselves, even if it means facing difficulties, represented by the metaphor of "crashing waves."

The second verse encourages letting go of overthinking and surrendering to fate. The lyrical hero reminds us that no one is perfect, and nothing in life comes easy. However, they emphasize the power of love, which can overcome any obstacle, and urge the listener to keep it alive within their hearts.

The repetition of the chorus at the end reinforces the idea of embracing change and seeking freedom. "Rise Up" is a song about hope and resilience, about the courage to be oneself in the face of uncertainty.

[Verse 1:]

Wisdom, like water, runs down to my feet

The more that you tell me, the less I can sleep

Time is a weapon that takes every man

Oh let me be young, I won't understand

[Chorus:]

Rise up like smoke, let the air choke

Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go

Rise up the sea, oh let me be

And let the waves crash over me

(Waves crash over me)

(And let the waves crash over me)

[Verse 2:]

Let go of reasons, surrender to fate

The apple of Eden is all yours to taste

Nobody's perfect and things will be rough

Love conquers all, so let there be love

[Chorus:]

Rise up like smoke, let the air choke

Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go

Rise up the sea, oh, let me be

Rise up the sea, oh, let me be

And let the waves crash over me

Rise up the sea, oh, let me be

And let the waves crash over me

Rise up the sea, oh, let me be

And let the waves crash over me
