Rise Up
Rise Up: Unveiling Life's Shadows Through Cardinal Black's Anthem
Lyrics
I'm a pretender, comatose I write forever
I adopt a false identity, in a state of unawareness I write continuously.
Hell or high water, it's only the drink that makes it better
In challenging situations or adversity, alcohol is the only solace.
Try to convince you, I've got one hand on the wheel
Attempting to persuade, claiming control with one hand on the steering wheel.
Why work hard to make a living, when it's easier to steal?
Questioning the value of honest labor when stealing seems easier.
On and on and on it goes
Endless repetition of challenging circumstances.
Into the darkness, it's too late for you for light
Progressing into a hopeless situation, where finding light is too late.
It's only in the backstreet shadows, you begin to see the light
Insight dawns in the shadows of adversity.
It's getting faster as these hours turn into miles
Time appears to speed up as moments transform into distance.
We keep this dream together just to keep these thoughts alive
Maintaining a shared dream to preserve positive thoughts.
On and on and on it goes
Continuation of challenging circumstances.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
An urging call to rise above difficulties.
This trust you don't believe in, it's faith you need to see
Doubt in trust, emphasizing the importance of faith.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
Reiteration of the call to rise above challenges.
Cause it's hard to know about freedom, unless you ain't been free
Understanding the concept of freedom is challenging without experiencing its absence.
Are you looking for cover?
Questioning if one seeks shelter or a way to separate.
Or a way to drift apart?
Contemplating the pursuit of something from this point onward.
From this moment you keep chasing
Persisting in chasing aspirations to feign a fresh beginning.
Just to fake a brand new start
Choosing deception to initiate a new phase.
Are we hiding? Is there none left?
Exploring the possibility of concealment, questioning its existence.
'Cause it might be hard but it's harder than it needs to be
Acknowledging the difficulty but asserting it's more challenging than necessary.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
Reiteration of the call to rise above difficulties.
This trust you don't believe in, it's faith you need to see
Doubt in trust persists, highlighting the need for faith.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
Repeating the call to rise above challenges.
Cause it's hard to know about freedom, unless you ain't been free
Re-emphasizing the challenge of understanding freedom without experiencing its absence.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
Reiteration of the call to rise above difficulties.
Rise Up, Rise Up over me
Repetition of the call to rise above challenges.
Rise Up, Rise Up
Continued emphasis on the call to rise above.
Rise Up over me
Repeating the call to rise above, specifying it's more challenging than necessary.
'Cause it's harder than it needs to be
Highlighting the unnecessary difficulty compared to what it could be.
