RISE
Fact Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The story made by someone
A fool's imagination is, a carbon copy of me
I stand in front of the mirror, pretending to be calm
Then I pretend to be blind
I take a deep breath without a thought
I take a deep breath, remind myself
What is the truth?
The truth in this world?
Find the truth in your heart
If I close my eyes, I would see it
Closing my eyes, I believe so deeply
Closing my eyes, memory is formed
Is my memory real?
Is my memory made by someone else?
Am I exploited by an invisible me
I will rise and take back myself again
I find again
I ask again
"Am I just myself?"
"I am just myself"
The lyrics of the song "Rise" by Fact are a contemplative reflection on the nature of reality and the self. The first line, "After all, a delusion is just a poor scenario," sets the tone for the rest of the song, which delves into the idea of perception versus reality. The singer questions whether their memories are real or fabricated, whether they are truly in control of their own identity, and what it means to find the truth within oneself.
The image of standing in front of a mirror and pretending to be calm suggests a dissociation from one's true feelings, as if the singer is trying to put on a persona that doesn't quite fit. The repeated refrain of "I ask again, what is the truth?" emphasizes the singer's persistent search for understanding, even if it remains elusive.
The final lines of the song, "I will rise and take back myself again / I find again / I ask again / 'Am I just myself?' / 'I am just myself,'" suggest a reclamation of the self and a reaffirmation of personal identity despite the confusion and uncertainty that came before.
Line by Line Meaning
After all, a delusion is just a poor scenario
The story made by someone, a fool's imagination is, a carbon copy of me
I stand in front of the mirror, pretending to be calm
I pretend to be someone who isn't affected by their delusions
Then I pretend to be blind
I don't want to see the truth about my delusions
I take a deep breath without a thought
I try to calm myself but don't address the root cause of my delusions
I take a deep breath, remind myself
I try to remember what's real and what's not
I ask again
I question the truth of my delusions
What is the truth?
What is real?
The truth in this world?
The truth about what's happening around me?
Find the truth in your heart
Find the truth about yourself
If I close my eyes, I would see it
If I ignore my delusions, I can see reality
Closing my eyes, I believe so deeply
When I'm lost in my delusions, I believe them deeply
Closing my eyes, memory is formed
My delusions shape my memories
Is my memory real?
Did I actually experience what I remember?
Is my memory made by someone else?
Did someone else create my delusions and memories?
Am I exploited by an invisible me
Am I being controlled by mental illness or something else I can't see?
I will rise and take back myself again
I will overcome my delusions and take control of my life
I find again
I rediscover my true self
I ask again
I continue to question my delusions
"Am I just myself?"
I ask if my true self is still there and not consumed by delusions
"I am just myself"
I affirm that my true self is still there and can overcome my delusions
