Rise from the Shadows
Alberta Cross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a highway caught by the sun
When we were out of touch
When we were out of feel
Tell me why? Why?
Down by the water
Can you feel it, how I breath?
Can you feel it, I've got cold feet?
Can you feel it, I'm out of breath?
Though I lost everyone
Tell me why? Why?
Down by the water
When we were out in the dark
Come rise from the shadows
Come rise from the shadows
Can you feel it, I'm out of speed?
Can you feel it, I'm out of luck?
Can you feel it, we are out of trust?
Can you feel it, it's you and me now?
When we were out in the dark
Come on rise from the shadows
When we were out in the dark
Come on rise from the shadows
Come rise from the shadows
The lyrics to "Rise from the Shadows" by Alberta Cross tell the story of a relationship that has experienced a lot of highs and lows. The verses paint a picture of two people who have been out of time, touch, and feel. They are lost and disconnected from one another, and the repeated question of "Why?" suggests that they are searching for answers. However, the chorus provides hope, as the singers urge each other to rise from the shadows and come back into the light. They want to feel again, and they are willing to work together to rebuild their connection.
The lines "Can you feel it, how I breathe?" and "Can you feel it, I've got cold feet?" provide a sense of vulnerability and honesty. The singer is confronting their fears and doubts, and asking their partner to understand and accept them. The chorus is a call to action, a declaration of the singers' commitment to each other. The final lines, "Can you feel it, it's you and me now?" suggest that the relationship has been pared down to its most essential elements, and that the two people involved are ready to face the future together.

When we were out of time
When we were running out of it
On a highway caught by the sun
On a sun-drenched road
When we were out of touch
When we were disconnected
When we were out of feel
When we lost our sensitivity
Tell me why? Why?
Questioning the situation
Down by the water
At water's edge
Can you feel it, how I breath?
Asking if they can sense their anxiety
Can you feel it, I've got cold feet?
Asking if they can sense their hesitation
Can you feel it, I'm out of breath?
Asking if they sense their exhaustion
Though I lost everyone
Despite losing all companionship
When we were out in the dark
When we were lost
Come rise from the shadows
Come into the light
Can you feel it, I'm out of speed?
Asking if they sense their lack of progress
Can you feel it, I'm out of luck?
Asking if they sense their misfortune
Can you feel it, we are out of trust?
Asking if they sense their lack of confidence in each other
Can you feel it, it's you and me now?
Asking them to acknowledge that they are in this together
Come on rise from the shadows
Come into the light
Come rise from the shadows
Come into the light
