RISE
Calla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hold me highly, I suppose it's fine
I feel worthy 'cause I've gained your trust
I've done it for myself
I have eaten on a cold dead horse
I have wandered down a blind man's course
I have promised everything will be fine
If I fail, if I rise, will you trail behind?
If I fail, if I rise, will you trail behind?
Got home pretty late last night
Where's that scratch from, did you get in a fight?
I have told you over, over again
You should stand up for yourself
Scared it was about your size
Look, don't worry, I can see it in your eyes
Strength in numbers is the chef fireman
Don't say this to no one else
Anyway you look at this
There's nothing you could do
Calm yourself and evade yourself
Remember I'm with you
If I fail, if I rise, will you trail behind?
If I fail, if I rise, will you trail behind?
If you want to follow
Don't leave the light on
Don't leave the light on with her
Don't leave the light on
The song "Rise" by Calla seems to be about a relationship where one person is holding up the other, making them feel worthy and trusted. The lyrics mention a sense of failure and rising above it, with the question of whether the other person will continue to support them through it all. The first verse speaks to the idea that the singer feels some doubt about their value, though they appreciate being held in high regard by the other person. They believe they have earned this trust on their own, though it is unclear whether it is really for oneself or for the other person's opinion. The second verse mentions a past where the singer has faced difficulties and made commitments only to face more obstacles. They also ask if the other person will stand behind them through success and failure.
The chorus repeats the question of whether the other person will continue to support them even if they fall or rise. The third verse seems to be a conversation between the two, where one person has come home late and has a scratch on them. The singer encourages the other person to stand up for themselves and offers reassurance that they see their strength. They also mention that they will be with the other person through anything. The fourth and final verse is the repeated chorus and a final plea to not leave the light on, perhaps indicating a sense of urgency or uncertainty about the relationship.
Overall, the song seems to be about the complexities of a relationship, with an emphasis on trust, support, and vulnerability. The chorus sets up a question of whether one person will support the other through ups and downs, while the verses offer glimpses into moments of doubt and reassurance.
