32
Carpark North Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
32 daughters and sons
Everyone just waiting at the spot as we were told
Cause we were the abandoned ones
How many times do I have to say
There is a light ahead
Soon there'll be nobody left out there to save
We give up to get by
Our dreams, our voices
Give up without cries
Or scream under water
It wouldn't stop raining as you sat in the cold
32 daughters and sons
Everyone just waiting at the spot as you were told
Cause you were the obedient ones
How many times do you have to say
You see a light ahead
Soon there'll be nobody left out here to save
We give up to get by
Our dreams, our voices
Give up without cries
Or scream under water
We're rising up
We're rising up
Our dreams, our voices
We're rising up
We're rising up
Until the dawn has broken
We're badly bruised but we're not broken
We're badly bruised but we're not broken
We're badly bruised but we're not broken
We give up to get by
Our dreams, our voices
Give up without cries
Or scream under water
We're rising up
We're rising up
Our dreams, our voices
We're rising up
We're rising up
Until the dawn has broken
The lyrics to Carpark North's song "32" tell the story of being abandoned and left to wait for something that may never come. The "32 daughters and sons" are waiting in the cold and rain at a spot they were told to be at. They give up their dreams and voices without a fight, as they just try to get by. The song speaks to the feeling of being lost and forgotten, but it also holds onto hope that there is a light ahead and that they will rise up until the dawn has broken.
The lyrics are evocative and emotive, with the repetition of "We give up to get by, our dreams, our voices" highlighting the sense of resignation and powerlessness. The imagery of being underwater and screaming, too, brings a visceral sense of struggle and desperation. The song's message is about overcoming these challenges and finding hope in the midst of difficult circumstances.
