Blue Foundation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One day, I will rise and shine in the mornin' light.
(Four, five, eight)
I tremble, wise guy.
One day, I will rise and shine in the mornin' light.
Remember, wise guy;
Surrender, wise guy.
One day, I will rise and shine in the mornin' light.
I tremble, wise guy.
One day, I will rise and shine in the mornin' light.
The lyrics to Blue Foundation's song Wiseguy seem to be about perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "One day, I will rise and shine in the morning light" suggests that the singer is working towards a goal or dream that they hope to achieve someday. The lines "Surrender, wise guy" and "I tremble, wise guy" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging the challenges they face and the fear they feel, but ultimately deciding to push through and continue on their journey towards success.
The use of numbers in the lyrics ("Four, five, eight") is interesting and could possibly have multiple meanings. It could be a reference to a specific date or time, or it could symbolize something else entirely. The repetition of the phrase "wise guy" throughout the song adds a slightly confrontational tone, as if the singer is addressing someone who may doubt their ability to succeed.
