Lyrics
Rise up
Encouragement to stand strong and assert oneself.
Let me show you a thing or two
A promise to impart knowledge or guidance.
How to be wiser
Teaching how to become more knowledgeable.
It's all for your own good
Implying that advice is given for the listener's benefit.
How to be nicer
Teaching how to become more pleasant or kind.
Just you get what you want
Assurance that one will achieve their desires.
Rise up, Rise up
Reiteration of the call to rise and stand up.
Rise up
-From the ashes
Symbolic emergence from a challenging situation.
When they try to burn you down, rise from the ashes
Overcoming adversity and rising stronger.
When they try to knock you around, and all the winner is
Resilience in the face of opposition; winner is the one who persists.
The one who tries the hardest to not, give in
Importance of not yielding to difficulties.
Rise up
Continued emphasis on rising despite challenges.
Wake up
-When you've got nothing to say I want you to wake up
-Get yourself out of this haze, realise you're better
-To learn how to Rise Up
-Rise Up, Rise Up
-From the ashes
Reaffirmation of resilience amidst attempts to undermine.
When they try to burn you down, rise from the ashes
-When they try to knock you around, and all the winner is
-The one who tries the hardest to not, give in
-Rise up
Repeated call to stand up and not succumb.
Revenge will be mine
Desire for retribution or justice.
Won't give up this fight
Determination not to give up in a struggle.
I know for sure
Confidence in understanding the situation.
You'll try to break me down
Recognition of attempts to break, but resolve not to yield.
But I won't let you win
-I'll spread my wings
Metaphorically spreading wings, indicating empowerment.
And Rise
An assertion of rising despite adversity.
From the ashes
Reiteration of overcoming challenges and persevering.
When they try to burn you down, rise from the ashes
-When they try to knock you around, and all the winner is
-The one who tries the hardest to not, give in
-Rise up
Repeating the call to rise and stand strong.
Rise Up, Rise Up
-Rise Up, Rise Up
-Rise Up, Rise Up
-Rise Up, Rise Up
