Up on High
Celestial Echoes: Daniel Rossen's Poetic Journey of Self-Expression
Lyrics
With your head full of stars
Feeling as if your mind is filled with celestial entities or aspirations.
That crowd all you see
Those celestial aspirations or thoughts encompass everything you perceive.
Sing for me
Request or plea for vocal expression or musical performance directed towards the singer.
With your mouth full of stones
Having a burdened or troubled state of mind.
Grindin' your teeth
Expressing anxiety, tension, or stress through grinding teeth.
Speak for me
Asking the singer to articulate or express thoughts or feelings on one's behalf.
In this big empty room
Describing a vast, vacant space.
Finally feel free
Finally feeling unencumbered or liberated within the emptiness.
To sing for me
Encouragement to perform or deliver a song on behalf of the person making the request.
To sing for me
Reiteration of the request for the singer to perform.
If the tides should all turn
In the event of circumstances changing unfavorably, asking for support or rescue.
Push me off to sea
To be pushed away or discarded into a challenging situation, seeking aid or intervention.
Swim for me
Requesting action or assistance, particularly in a difficult situation.
If that lord up on high
Referring to a higher power or authority.
Is nearer to me
Perceiving a closeness or proximity to the higher authority.
Pray for me
Requesting spiritual support or intervention from the higher power.
But in this big empty room
Reiteration of feeling liberated or unrestricted within a vast, empty space.
Finally feel free
Encouragement to sing or perform within the emptiness for the person making the request.
To sing for me
Continuation of the encouragement or request for singing or performance.
Now sing
Direct command to sing or perform.
