The Rising
Dave Seaman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light turns to darkness hope to despair
The machine is rising the machine is rising
For me the light was so real a scar so hard to heal
Deception graced from blazing heavens eternal sin
Time stands forever unending dreams
Never Know the endning this is my fractured life
The machine is rising the machine is rising from within
Heathen machine




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Seaman's song The Rising are quite cryptic and require a bit of interpretation to fully grasp their meaning. It seems that the song is exploring the theme of the rise of the machine, which can be interpreted either literally or metaphorically. The opening lines "Light turns to darkness hope to despair" suggest a sense of foreboding and a shift from optimism to pessimism. This could be seen as reflecting the potential dangers of relying too heavily on technology and the damage it can do to our world and our souls.


The next line "The machine is rising the machine is rising" reinforces the idea that there is something ominous and unstoppable occurring. The machine could represent a variety of things, from artificial intelligence to corporate greed to societal conformity. The following lines paint a picture of someone who has been hurt deeply ("For me the light was so real a scar so hard to heal") and is struggling with feelings of guilt and sin ("Deception graced from blazing heavens eternal sin"). The mention of unending dreams and a fractured life adds to the overall sense of instability and unease.


As for what the lyrics mean as a whole, it's difficult to say for certain. It could be a warning against the dangers of unchecked technological progress, a commentary on the toll that modern life takes on our mental health, or something else entirely. Whatever the case, the song has a haunting quality that is hard to shake.

An absolute classic mixed album - I love how music was made with each track telling it's own tale. If I had to pick a favourite I'd go for Kinesis - Bias. Amazing, epic, inspiring 🤩
