Stand Up
Rising from the Depths: Orson Wilds' Poetic Journey Through Darkness
Lyrics
Stand up
Encouragement to take action and stand up.
If you're the man with the plan
Addressing someone as the one with a plan or solution.
Turn the lights out
Symbolic call to darkness or uncertainty.
Guide us straight to the end
Seeking guidance through challenges to reach the end.
Of this tunnel
Metaphor for a difficult situation or life's journey.
Brothers
Appeal for support and unity among people.
Help us stand cause we're tired
Request for assistance due to weariness or fatigue.
Take me home to the place
Nostalgic reference to a place associated with past actions.
We set fires
Recollection of setting fires, possibly symbolizing passion or rebellion.
I turn my back against the sea
Turning away from challenges or difficulties.
And let the waves roll over me
Acceptance of overwhelming forces, letting them pass over.
Your bodies washed onto the beach
Imagery of bodies washed ashore, possibly referencing loss or tragedy.
Your beating heart just out of reach
Heartache or emotional distance from a loved one.
And thunderclouds above our heads
Symbolic representation of troubles looming over.
As we were sleeping in our beds
Unexpected challenges faced while in a vulnerable state.
Spoke your name into my phone
Communication difficulties or isolation.
Hiss and static all alone
Encountering interference and loneliness.
Now buried deep in the darkest waves
Describing a deep, challenging situation to overcome.
Is where my body needs to stay
Acceptance of being in a difficult place.
It's where my body needs to stay
Reiteration of acceptance and commitment to the situation.
Buried deep in the darkest waves
Repetition of being submerged in challenges.
I thought I saw your face before
Recognition of familiarity, possibly from a past life.
Another life another door
Reference to past choices leading to a different outcome.
That led us to a better end
Reflection on a path that seemed promising.
At least I can pretend
Mention of pretending to find comfort in a better outcome.
Stand up
Repetition of the call to stand up and take action.
If you're the man with the plan
Reiteration of addressing someone with a plan.
Turn the lights out
Symbolic request to face challenges with courage.
Guide us straight to the end
Continuation of seeking guidance towards a resolution.
Of this tunnel
Reiteration of navigating through a difficult phase.
Brothers
Repeated appeal for unity and support.
Help us stand cause we're tired
Renewed request for assistance due to weariness.
Take me home to the place
Recalling a place associated with intense emotions or actions.
We set fires
Reiteration of memories related to setting fires.
