Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This anger's deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Break break the code
Concentrate
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me
The song "Bell" by 핑클 (FIN.K.L) conveys a message that they want to awaken the sleeping and dreamy society to see and feel what is happening around them. The opening lyrics "Ring ring the bells, Wake the town, Everyone is sleeping, Shout at the crowd, Wake them up, This anger's deeper than sleep" express how they feel the need to shout at the crowd and wake them up from their slumber. The anger is a deeper emotion that requires society to wake up, be aware of what's happening, and take action.
The second verse "Break break the code, Concentrate, Let the doors swing open, See through all your walls, All your floors, Now you're in deeper than sleep" emphasizes the importance of breaking codes or revealing hidden truths. They urge listeners to concentrate on this task so that doors can be opened to see and understand their social and political surroundings more clearly. The urgency is underlined by the words "Now you're in deeper than sleep", which show a sense of responsibility and readiness to undertake challenges while being aware of their context.
The lyrics in the bridges "When you let me fall, Grew my own wings, Now I'm as tall as the sky, When you let me drown, Grew gills and fins, Now I'm as deep as the sea, When you let me die, My spirit's free, There's nothing challenging me" suggest that the society might have let them down, but they have transformed and lifted themselves up. They have grown their own wings and have reached new heights, becoming as tall as the sky. They have adapted to the situation and have evolved their survival skills, growing gills and fins to become as deep as the sea. They have let go of any attachment to the past, and their liberated spirit is free to take on any further challenges.
