Rise
Anne-Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In avenging fields headphones grow
Intoxicated we take the subway to listen
From our hips birds take flight, my cheeks flush and we look like fools

Blurred color gateway to hell. Death, death, death! Cute, cute
Miserable jade blossom crisis bloom. Death, death. Cute, cute
Plastic dolls crawl through crossfire. Death, death. Cute, cute
Barren clouds feed the cyclops. Death, death. Cute, cute
You against soft cosmic skyline. Cute, cute
Your face through moss covered glass. Cute, cute

Dire darlings with stunning and benign hearts
See them dressed in fine bitterness
On bloodstained boulevards
Wild errors absorb scores of sad hamsters

Halfway there, feathers rise and roar and shed kittens in the garden
Bright sister machines gleaming and frozen
We can escape, abandon volcanic caves, become motion
Empty attractive vessel, forget their thick golden lizards
Kindly waves meet the sun and are defeated over night
Low rain punish volatile land, radiant breeze touch
Tender, slow, incompetent hypnotic grip stop and scream
Harsh and obscene birthday, liquid fairies pour burning from the cake

Cuddle noises echo back from the future
Under willows cluster forlorn ballerinas
A falcon appears to threaten them




Union of wolves, muscular and filthy
A beast's kingdom of riot and cold menace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ANNE-MARIE's "Rise" paint a surreal and abstract picture, offering a glimpse into a world of intense emotions and vivid imagery. The first stanza presents a striking contrast between the violence and destruction of war and the simple act of listening to music on the subway. The image of birds taking flight from the singers and the singer's flush cheeks suggest that the music is having a physical and emotional impact on them, even as the world around them is in chaos.


The second stanza continues this theme of contrast, as the words "cute" and "death" are repeated in a surreal and disjointed way. The images that follow are equally disjointed, with plastic dolls crawling through crossfire and barren clouds feeding cyclops. The juxtaposition of these images suggests a world that is both strange and dangerous, and the repetition of "cute" and "death" create a sense of unease and foreboding.


Line by Line Meaning

In avenging fields headphones grow
We find solace in music as we try to forget the pain and hurt that surrounds us


Intoxicated we take the subway to listen
Lost in the music, we escape our mundane lives as we listen to it on the subway


From our hips birds take flight, my cheeks flush and we look like fools
The music moves us in a way that's embarrassing to show, but we let ourselves feel it anyway


Blurred color gateway to hell. Death, death, death! Cute, cute
The world around us seems chaotic and deadly, but it has a certain charm to it


Miserable jade blossom crisis bloom. Death, death. Cute, cute
Even in the midst of a crisis, there's still beauty to be found, no matter how bleak the situation may seem


Plastic dolls crawl through crossfire. Death, death. Cute, cute
Amidst the chaos and violence, even the most seemingly innocent objects and toys are affected


Barren clouds feed the cyclops. Death, death. Cute, cute
The cyclops, a symbol of destruction and chaos, is being sustained by the very thing that should bring life


You against soft cosmic skyline. Cute, cute
You stand out against the vastness of the universe, yet there's something endearing about it


Your face through moss covered glass. Cute, cute
There's a certain beauty to be found even in the decaying or forgotten things


Dire darlings with stunning and benign hearts
Those who are suffering are still full of love and kindness


See them dressed in fine bitterness
Despite their circumstances, they choose to dress themselves up and put on a brave face


On bloodstained boulevards
The path ahead is filled with danger and violence


Wild errors absorb scores of sad hamsters
Small mistakes can lead to great consequences, affecting those who don't deserve it


Halfway there, feathers rise and roar and shed kittens in the garden
We're reaching a tipping point, where we can either succumb to our fears or rise above them


Bright sister machines gleaming and frozen
Technology can be both beautiful and terrifying, with its power to captivate and freeze us


We can escape, abandon volcanic caves, become motion
We have the power to break free from our own personal hells and take control of our lives


Empty attractive vessel, forget their thick golden lizards
Don't let the distractions of wealth and power consume you, focus on the things that truly matter


Kindly waves meet the sun and are defeated over night
The beauty of nature is fleeting, as the sun rises and sets, and waves come and go


Low rain punish volatile land, radiant breeze touch
The natural world can both heal and hurt, with its punishing rains and gentle breezes


Tender, slow, incompetent hypnotic grip stop and scream
The slow, gentle grip of life can be just as powerful as something harsh and forceful


Harsh and obscene birthday, liquid fairies pour burning from the cake
Even celebrations can turn dark and disturbing, with their own kind of twisted beauty


Cuddle noises echo back from the future
There's hope for the future, and it can be seen in the innocent and playful noises of children


Under willows cluster forlorn ballerinas
Even in sadness and despair, there can be a certain grace and beauty


A falcon appears to threaten them
Despite this beauty, there's always something lurking that could threaten to disrupt it


Union of wolves, muscular and filthy
Even animals can unite for a common purpose, with their own kind of strength and power


A beast's kingdom of riot and cold menace
In this world, even the animals have their own kind of hierarchy and power struggles

@@user-yr4re2ns7s BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil – that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.

SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
You know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of a reach from me
But you're hearing my heart
So who can stop me if I decide it's on my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'll be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one could say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
And maybe the world could be ours, tonight

You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you, yeah
But there are mountains (But there are mountains)
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why
Because we're able to be just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside
You're gonna wake up and see that it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you, it's not up to me, yeah
When everyone tells us what we can be
And how can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours, tonight

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible (It's not impossible)
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

And how do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
And nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one could say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied
