Rise
Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, you're out of time
But still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed
'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, you're out of time
But still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
Don't doubt it, don't doubt
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don't be surprised, I will still rise
The anthem-like lyrics of Katy Perry's "Rise" convey a message of empowerment and resilience despite obstacles, setbacks, and doubters. The refrain "Still, I rise" echoes Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise," which celebrates the indomitable spirit of those who refuse to give up and surrender to oppression and despair. The song speaks to anyone who has faced adversity but chooses to stand up and fight back with faith, determination, and courage. Perry's powerful vocals and the intensity of the percussion and orchestra build up to a climactic bridge that affirms the song's theme of transformation and triumph.
The first two verses establish the persona of the singer as someone who refuses to conform to the expectations and stereotypes of others, especially those who try to shake her confidence and identity. She asserts her proud heritage and deep roots, suggesting that her strength comes from her roots rather than from external validation. The pre-chorus repeats the refrain "Don't doubt it, victory is in my veins," emphasizing the singer's self-belief and inviting the listener to join her in resisting doubt and negativity. The chorus then exclaims, "Still, I rise," as a defiant affirmation of her refusal to be defeated or silenced by those who try to bring her down.
The second half of the song extends the metaphor of the fire and the vultures encircling as symbols of trials and challenges. Perry acknowledges that staying conscious amid the madness and chaos is a struggle that requires support and guidance, which she finds from her angels. The second pre-chorus addresses the listener directly, urging them to fight and transform themselves by embracing the victory that already resides within them. The final chorus repeats the refrain with even more conviction and passion, ending the song on a note of triumph and resilience.

Just keep going and don't back down
And be transformed
And use this experience to better myself

Tenga en cuenta que no hay cambio climático, ES LA IRA DE DIOS que merecemos plenamente, porque estamos ENFERMOS Y MALOS. Abusando diariamente unos de otros. Vivir en todas las Naciones Unidas: formas naturales. Alabando los pecados en lugar de VIDAS JUSTAS Y SANTA. Y sí, los malvados, los albañiles, también han fabricado herramientas con las que manipulan el clima una y otra vez, pero el poder supremo está en manos del HACEDOR DE TODAS LAS COSAS.
1 Pedro 5:6 - Humillaos, pues, bajo la poderosa mano de Dios, para que él os exalte cuando fuere tiempo:
Lucas 21:34 - Y mirad por vosotros mismos, que vuestros corazones no se carguen de glotonería y embriaguez y de los afanes de esta vida, y venga de repente sobre vosotros aquel día.
1 Tesalonicenses 5:9
Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
Santiago 1:20
Porque la ira del hombre no obra la justicia de Dios.
Colosenses 3:6
Por las cuales cosas la ira de Dios viene sobre los hijos de desobediencia:
Romanos 1:18 - Porque la ira de Dios se revela desde el cielo contra toda impiedad e injusticia de los hombres que detienen con injusticia la verdad;
Juan 3:36 - El que cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna; y el que no cree en el Hijo no verá la vida; pero la ira de Dios está sobre él.
Isaías 26:21 - Porque he aquí, Jehová sale de su lugar para castigar a los moradores de la tierra por su iniquidad; y la tierra descubrirá su sangre, y nunca más encubrirá sus muertos.
Ezequiel 25:17 - Y ejecutaré en ellos gran venganza con reprensiones furiosas; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando pondré mi venganza sobre ellos.
Nahum 1:2-6 - Dios es celoso, y Jehová venga; Jehová se venga y se enfurece; el SEÑOR se vengará de sus adversarios, y para sus enemigos tiene reservada la ira.
Apocalipsis 20:15 - Y el que no se halló inscrito en el libro de la vida fue lanzado al lago de fuego.
2 Pedro 2:9 - Sabe el Señor librar de tentación a los piadosos, y reservar a los injustos para que sean castigados en el día del juicio:
Mateo 10:28 - Y no temáis a los que matan el cuerpo, mas el alma no pueden matar; temed más bien a aquel que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno.
Romanos 6:23 - Porque la paga del pecado es muerte; mas la dádiva de Dios es vida eterna en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.
Salmo 7:11 - Dios juzga al justo, y Dios está enojado contra el impío todos los días.
La humanidad llegó a “gustar” la IRA DE DIOS dos veces ya, ahora vivimos esperando la 3ª vez, para “gustar” nuevamente la IRA DE DIOS.
