Get Up
Rise from Despair: Empowering Anthem by Pretty O.P.
Lyrics
She's hit the ground; she's down and out
Describing a woman who has fallen and is currently in a difficult situation.
And now she's lost the will to rise
She has lost the motivation to stand up or improve her situation.
With all that's left she lifts her head
With whatever strength remains, she lifts her head and confronts her challenges.
Looks disaster in the eyes
She faces disaster directly and does not shy away.
Defies remand and finds the strength to stand
Defying despair, she finds the strength to stand up and face her circumstances.
No longer disinclined
She is no longer hesitant or unwilling.
She takes a step toward all that lies ahead
She takes a step towards her future.
She keeps these words in mind:
She remembers and holds onto motivating words.
You can spend your whole life wasting away
Encourages not to waste life and urges exploration of the world.
When there's a world to discover
Emphasizes the vastness of opportunities in life.
Now you gotta get up
Direct call to action, encouraging the person to get up, move on, and push forward.
You gotta move on
-You gotta push yourself along
-You can rest when it's over
-But now you gotta get up
-And now she's back
The woman has returned after facing challenges.
They couldn't keep her away
Others couldn't keep her away, indicating resilience.
She hit the bottom
Despite hitting rock bottom, she refuses to stay there.
But she knew it wasn't an option to stay
-And even though she'd almost given up
She almost gave up but couldn't betray the encouraging voice in her head.
She felt she couldn't betray
She commits to personal improvement and being a positive force for change.
The steady voice in her head
-That tells her everyday
-To try and be someone better
-Until a difference is made
-She's starts from within
Starting from within, she aims to be the change she wishes to see in the world.
She knows she must be the change
-That she wishes so dearly the world would display
-She strives constantly
She strives for progress, aware that it may be difficult to notice.
Conscious of the steps that she takes
-'Cause honestly, progress can be hard to see
-But looking close, it shows that she's advancing incrementally
Despite challenges and hostility, she remains dedicated to a noble cause.
And though too often she is met with unrelenting animosity
-She knows a noble cause requires all of ones autonomy
-She's running on an empty tank
She continues despite exhaustion, moving on and starting anew.
But going 'cause she knows she can
-Moving on with nothing left
-And doing her best to start again
-With everything against her
Even with everything against her, she knows there won't be a second chance.
She knows there won't be a second chance
-She takes a breath and focuses
She recalls encouraging words from someone close to her.
On words that someone close had said to her
-You can spend your whole life wasting away
Reiteration of the call to action, emphasizing the need to get up and move forward.
When there's a world to discover
-Now you gotta get up
-You gotta move on
-You gotta push yourself along
-You can rest when it's over
-But now you gotta get up
-You can take this sitting down
Expresses a preference for facing challenges actively rather than passively.
But I prefer to go out swinging
-I've done all I can
-It's your decision
-You can spend your whole life wasting away
Repeats the theme of not wasting life and the importance of getting up and moving on.
When there's a world to discover
-Now you gotta get up
-You gotta move on
-You gotta push yourself along
-You can rest when it's over
-But now you gotta get up
-You can spend your whole life wasting away
Final emphasis on the urgency of getting up and not wasting life.
When there's a world to discover
-Now you gotta get up
-You gotta move on
-You gotta push yourself along
-You can rest when it's over
-But now you gotta get up!
