Rise Like A Phoenix
Agoney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking over glass
Neighbours say we′re trouble
Well that time has passed
Fearing from the mirror
No, that isn't me
A stranger getting nearer
Who can this person be?
You wouldn′t know me at all
Today
From the fading light I'll fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I′m reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you′re my flame
Go about your business
Act as if you're free
No one could have witnessed
What you did to me
Cause you wouldn′t know me today
From the fading light I fly
Rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I'm transformed
Once I′m reborn
You threw me down but
I'm gonna fly
And rise like a phoenix
Out of the ashes
Seeking rather than vengeance
Retribution
You were warned
Once I′m transformed
Once I'm reborn
You know I will rise like a phoenix
But you're my flame
The lyrics to Agoney's song "Rise Like A Phoenix" describe a person who has been through a difficult experience and has emerged stronger from it. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer has been through a traumatic event, as they wake up in rubble and walk over glass. The neighbours who once considered them trouble have now moved on, and the singer looks in the mirror only to see a stranger staring back. The lyrics imply that the person has lost their sense of identity, but remains determined to rise above their circumstances.
As the song progresses, the singer vows to "rise like a phoenix" out of the ashes of their past. They seek justice rather than revenge, but make it clear that they will not be held back by their previous struggles. The lyrics suggest that the person has been transformed and reborn, and they are now ready to take on the world with newfound confidence and strength. The final line of the song, "But you're my flame," suggests that the person has found comfort and support in a relationship that has helped them survive and grow stronger.
Overall, "Rise Like A Phoenix" is a powerful anthem about overcoming adversity and emerging stronger from difficult experiences. The lyrics are full of symbolism and imagery, painting a vivid picture of a person who refuses to be held back by their past.
Line by Line Meaning
Waking in the rubble
Starting in a state of chaos and destruction
Walking over glass
Moving forward despite obstacles and discomfort
Neighbours say we're trouble
Others see us as difficult or problematic
Well that time has passed
That was then, this is now - we've moved on
Fearing from the mirror
Seeing a distorted image of oneself
No, that isn't me
Rejecting the false image projected by others
A stranger getting nearer
Feeling disconnected from oneself
Who can this person be?
Questioning one's identity and purpose
You wouldn't know me at all
I have changed, grown, and evolved beyond recognition
Today
In the present moment, as I am now
From the fading light I'll fly
Embracing transformation and moving forward into the unknown
Rise like a phoenix
Reclaiming power and strength after a difficult period
Out of the ashes
Emerging from destruction, stronger than before
Seeking rather than vengeance
Choosing growth and healing over revenge
Retribution
Punishment or revenge for past wrongs
You were warned
I gave you fair warning or notice
Once I'm transformed
After I have changed, grown, and evolved
Once I'm reborn
After I have shed my old self and become something new
You know I will rise like a phoenix
You can count on me to overcome difficulty and adversity
But you're my flame
You are the source of both my strength and my pain
Go about your business
Carry on with your life and leave me be
Act as if you're free
Pretend that you are not responsible for your actions
No one could have witnessed
No one else knows what really happened between us
What you did to me
The harm you caused me, whether intentional or not
You threw me down but
You caused me to suffer and fall
I'm gonna fly
I will rise above the pain and suffering you caused me

Vuelvo una vez y otra a ésta actuación, a éste pase de micros. Me parece el mejor ejemplo de fuerza, amor própio y profesionalidad, sabiendo como estaba con el derrame cordal. A tus pies Agoney.

madre mía eres increíble, que bien la cantas y eso que era el ensayo, que pena que se te rompiera la voz en la gala. y que poco se habló de tu derrame en las cuerdas vocales y de las consecuencias que podía tener. gracias a Dios estás estupendo y podemos seguir escuchando tu maravillosa voz
