Rising
Brainstorm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where no one hears your whisper
And no one knows your name
My eyes to hear, my tongue to see to feel again the same
The cause of life don't trust another outstretched hand
Challenged dreams, fear of hope you try to understand

When you're dreaming you're not sleeping,
But never had a choice
Pay the price, the fear within, the absence of voice

The sun is rising, estranged but I can crawl
The sun is rising, with my back against the wall
Release my soul and mystify to fight my violent lies
Betray you to your enemies because of your immoral life
I know you thought I'd turn away,
Have nothing left to say
My blessings and the things you hide, it happens anyway

Do you regret and think about the point of no return




Words not to be ignored
From history we should have learned

Overall Meaning

The song "Rising" by Brainstorm speaks of the struggle of feeling lost and unheard in a world where people can be skeptical and untrustworthy. The opening lines "Where no one hears your whisper, and no one knows your name" set the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing feelings of loneliness and isolation. The singer longs to experience life fully again, stating "My eyes to hear, my tongue to see to feel again the same." The cause of life is not something that can be trusted to strangers, and the singer is challenged by their dreams and fears.


The lyrics take a darker turn in the second verse, as the singer suggests that being asleep is better than living in fear. "When you're dreaming you're not sleeping, but never had a choice / Pay the price, the fear within, the absence of voice." Though dreaming may offer temporary respite from the anxieties of life, the cost is a heightened, persistent sense of fear.


The chorus of the song speaks of the sun rising, but it is seen as a struggle rather than a new beginning. "The sun is rising, estranged but I can crawl / The sun is rising, with my back against the wall." The singer is fighting against their own violent tendencies and immoral life, but they acknowledge that this battle is difficult to win. Even though the subject of the song has struggled, they continue to hide their feelings and mistakes. The final lines of the song ask the listener to pay attention to history, and not to ignore important words and lessons.

And no one knows your name
