Rise Up
Jack Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more that you tell me, the less I can sleep
Time is a weapon that takes every man
Oh, let me be young, I won't understand
Rise up like smoke, let the air choke
Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go
Rise up the sea, oh let me be
(And let the waves crash over me) let go of reasons, surrender to fate
The apple of Eden is all yours to taste
Nobody's perfect and things will be rough
Love conquers all, so let there be love
Rise up like smoke, let the air choke
Mountains crumbling down, oh let them go
Rise up the sea, oh, let me be
Rise up the sea, oh, let me be and let the waves crash over me
Rise up the sea, oh, let me be and let the waves crash over me
Rise up the sea, oh, let me be and let the waves crash over me
In "Rise Up" by Jack Thomas, the lyrics convey a yearning for freedom, wisdom, and the power to let go of burdensome thoughts. The line "Wisdom, like water, runs down to my feet" suggests that the singer desires to absorb wisdom and knowledge, as water flows down to the lowest point. However, the abundance of information and advice received from others leaves them feeling overwhelmed and unable to find peace in their thoughts, leading to sleepless nights.
The song expresses a longing to escape the constraints imposed by time, symbolized by the lyric "Time is a weapon that takes every man." The singer pleads to remain youthful and carefree, acknowledging that with age comes a deeper understanding of life's complexities and challenges.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to rise above the constraints and pressures of life, comparing it to smoke dissipating into the air. The request to "let the air choke" implies a willingness to face the discomfort and confront the obstacles that may arise. The mention of mountains crumbling down represents the release of any burdens or obstacles holding the singer back. The repetition of the phrase "Rise up the sea, oh, let me be" alludes to a desire for emotional liberation, to be carried away by a wave of acceptance and surrender to the unknown.
The lyrics also touch upon the imperfections of life and the need for love to conquer all. The line "Nobody's perfect and things will be rough" acknowledges the inevitable challenges and flaws that arise in relationships and life in general. Despite these difficulties, the song encourages the presence of love, urging its listeners to let love permeate their lives and contribute to their growth.
Overall, "Rise Up" is a song that reflects the human desire for freedom, the acceptance of imperfections, and the power of love to overcome obstacles and bring about a sense of liberation.
