Rise Again
Equilibrium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting in the gray of dawn
Until the morning fog is gone
The leaves are full of nightly tears
Noises are on the way to my eras

Awoken from the sleep of death
I'm taking a deep intense breath
The bracing fragrance takes me back to life

Let's get forward, no time to rest
It doesn't really matter if east or west
So many roads are unexplored
The journey is its own reward

I feel it inside
My eyes are open wide
My heart will acclaim
The sun will rise again

I feel it inside
My eyes are open wide
My heart will acclaim
The sun will rise again

I feel it inside
My eyes are open wide




My heart will acclaim
The sun will rise again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Equilibrium's song Rise Again speak of resilience and hope in the face of despair. The opening lines describe the scene of the singer waiting in the gray of dawn, surrounded by mist and leaves full of nightly tears. It is a metaphor for being trapped in a situation where everything seems hopeless and nothing seems to make sense. The noises on the way to the singer's ears add to the sense of unease and anticipation.


But then, something changes. The singer is "awoken from the sleep of death" and takes a "deep intense breath". This could represent a turning point, a realization that there is still a chance to find a way out of the darkness. The "bracing fragrance" that "takes me back to life" is perhaps a metaphor for a renewed sense of purpose and motivation.


From there, the song becomes a call to action, encouraging the listener to move forward and explore new paths. The singer declares that "it doesn't really matter if east or west", emphasising that any direction is better than staying still. The journey itself is the reward, with so many roads unexplored and waiting to be discovered. The repeated chorus, "I feel it inside, my eyes are open wide, my heart will acclaim, the sun will rise again" reinforces the theme of hope and resilience, that even in the darkest moments there is always the possibility of a brighter future.
