Above Us
Enshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One only frame to the outside
So many days, so many years
Lost in this fading slumber
You are connected, to the world above us
This is a new step down in your life
Follow your fate, unleash your mind
Every night you repeal your will
Come... Come to me...
Release yourself, let you dawn
Forlorn in your cell
There´s no daylight to hope
All these voices you hear
Like a child in a crowd
Unblinded by your own fear
You start to see by your eyes
Spellbound by your new sense
Unbind your chains
Ride freedom, once again
Leave your fears, reach the skies beyond
Let yourself lead your insight
Leave your fears, reach the skies beyond
You´re no longer part of this world
The lyrics of Enshine's song "Above Us" speak of breaking free from the confines of a cell or a confined existence to connect with the outside world. The first few lines illustrate a setting with only one window, which is sealed and black, representing an individual's disconnect from the world. It is a place where time seems to stand still, and the weary individual is trapped in a state of sleep. However, there is an indication that something has shifted, and the person can sense the world that exists beyond their confinement.
The following verses further emphasize an individual's yearning to be free. The daily struggle against one's own will and the voices in one's head represent a sense of entrapment that the person is trying to break free from. The lines "Forlorn in your cell/There's no daylight to hope/All these voices you hear/Like a child in a crowd" take the imagery of confinement to another level, suggesting that the person is searching for a sense of identity and purpose amidst the cacophony of daily life.
The lyrics also suggest that the outside world, which the singer is yearning to connect with, represents something freeing and life-changing. The words "Follow your fate, unleash your mind" further symbolize the liberation that this person is seeking.

One sealed black window
There's only one window that's blocked and dark
One only frame to the outside
It's the only way to see what's outside
So many days, so many years
It has been a long time, too many days and years
Lost in this fading slumber
Stuck in a dream that's slowly fading away
You are connected, to the world above us
You are linked to the world that lies above us
This is a new step down in your life
It's a new chapter in your life, different from before
Follow your fate, unleash your mind
Trust your destiny, let your mind run free
You feel me time to time
You sense me once in a while
Every night you repeal your will
Every night, you go against your own will
Come... Come to me...
Come towards me, do not hesitate
Release yourself, let you dawn
Free yourself, let yourself start afresh
Forlorn in your cell
You are lonely and abandoned in your prison
There's no daylight to hope
There's no light to hope for
All these voices you hear
You hear so many different voices
Like a child in a crowd
You are like a small child lost in a big crowd
Unblinded by your own fear
You are no longer blinded by your own fear
You start to see by your eyes
You start seeing things for what they truly are
Spellbound by your new sense
You are captivated by your newfound perception
Unbind your chains
Free yourself from your shackles
Ride freedom, once again
Experience freedom once again, like you used to
Leave your fears, reach the skies beyond
Forget your fears and aim towards the beyond
Let yourself lead your insight
Allow yourself to lead with what you know is right
You're no longer part of this world
You're no more attached to this world
