Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the dawn
She waits there for us
To sing her song
The rhythms will invite you
To try to find
Freedom she'll entice you
If you wanna survive
Follow me if you wanna survive
If you wanna survive come with me
If you wanna survive
If you wanna survive
follow me if you wanna survive
'Cause we're gonna need a witness tonight
'Cause we know there's no ending this fight alone
Yeah we're gonna need a witness tonight
'Cause we know there's no ending this fight alone
We're gonna need a

The lyrics of "Witness" by Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren with Rank 1 are about a woman who waits for them deep in the forest before the dawn to sing her song. She invites them to follow her rhythms and experience freedom, even if it means losing their minds. However, the lyrics shift, and it becomes clear that the song is not only about the woman but also about the need for a witness to help them in a fight. The repetition of "We're gonna need a witness tonight" emphasizes the urgency of their situation and the importance of not facing the challenges alone.
The forest and the woman in the song can be interpreted as symbols of nature and the human yearning for freedom and release. The song's lyrics, however, convey the message that such release and freedom can only be achieved through the support of someone else, a witness or a collaborator in a fight. Alone, we cannot overcome the obstacles and challenges that life presents. Therefore, the song portrays the importance of collaboration and support in achieving success.

"once upon a time, there lived a very special being who had the ability to right wrongs, transform lives, and change worlds. and when one was ready to finally experience her presence, she magically appeared. then, like a beacon, she would illuminate the path to contentment and life would be forever changed. they called her hope"
