Bells
K.U. STREET SPRING Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This anger's deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Break break the code
Concentrate
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition,
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me
The lyrics of K.U. STREET SPRING's song Bells talks about waking up from a deep slumber and realizing that the world is not as it seems. The bells in the song are a metaphor for awakening people from their sleep and making them see what is truly happening. The anger that the singer feels is so deep that it is even deeper than sleep, and the only way to get rid of it is to wake up and face the reality of the situation. The singer emphasizes the need to keep awake at all times to what is happening around us, and to break the code and see through walls and floors to truly see the reality of things.
The second part of the song talks about personal growth and transformation. The singer talks about falling and growing their own wings, becoming as tall as the sky. They also talk about drowning and growing gills and fins to become as deep as the sea. The implication is that these difficulties and setbacks in life lead to growth and transformation. The final verse says that when the singer dies, their spirit is free and nothing can challenge them anymore.
