Down We Fall
Rising Against Shadows: Unveiling Empowerment in 'Down We Fall'
Lyrics
When we allow
Expressing the consequence of permitting something
The ones who tell
Referring to those instructing or advising
Us to bow beneath a crown
Submission to authority, possibly oppressive
Our fates endowed
Our destinies given or granted
You made us crawl
Describing a humbled and weakened state
You make us proud
Instilling a sense of pride in others
And stand your ground
Urging someone to stand firm and resolute
We shall enshroud
Surrounding or enveloping with a covering
And stamp them down
Forcefully suppressing or defeating them
Oh there’s a day we’ve all been waiting for
A future anticipated eagerly by everyone
We’ll tear them down
To dismantle or overthrow a power structure
And down we’ll fall
An impending downfall or decline
Into the plight under the light of darkest hours
Facing challenges during the darkest times
At first we crawled
Initially, starting from a position of weakness
Below a staff and now we laugh
Transitioning from subservience to mockery
In face of fear
Facing and overcoming fear boldly
They terrorise
Inflicting fear upon others
Through the eye
A metaphorical eye, possibly symbolic of surveillance
The one that spies
Observing and manipulating with deceit
And tells us lies
Spreading falsehoods and misinformation
Oh we see through your sheeplike disguise
Perceiving through deceptive appearances
Now we are tall
Having attained a position of strength or empowerment
And down we fall
A repetition of the impending downfall
Into the plight under the light of darkest hours
Reiterating challenges during dark times
At first we crawled
Revisiting the initial state of weakness
Below a staff and now we laugh in face of fear
Transforming fear into laughter and defiance
And down we fall
Continuing the narrative of an imminent decline
Into the plight under the light of darkest
Reaffirming the struggles during dark hours
Hours
Emphasizing the repetition of the falling
And down we fall
Repeating the idea of descending during adversity
Into the plight under the light of darkest hours
Reiterating challenges faced in the darkest times
At first we crawled
Recalling the initial state of vulnerability
Below a staff and now we laugh in face of fear
Emphasizing the transformation from weakness to defiance
And down we fall
Continuation of the narrative of impending downfall
Now you will crawl
Foretelling a reversal of roles, with the powerful now humbled
