Welcome to my world
To my kingdom of make believe

A crown of thorns on my heart
Change me

Forever nailed to your cross
The lyrics of "Rise" by Liquid Stranger & Heavyweight Dub Champion feat. KRS ONE A.P.O.S.T.L.E. & Stero-Lion explore the idea of power, control, and manipulation. The persona portrayed in the song, Jesse, sees himself as a messiah of sorts and expects those around him to worship him as such. He welcomes people to his world, his kingdom of make-believe - a world where he is in control, where people bow down to him, and he is the center of attention.
The chorus, as sung by the Invisible Circus, presents a different point of view. They sing about dying, falling, and worshiping Jesse - the god-man. They ask if they are being deceived, and whether Jesse is lying to them. The chorus can be interpreted as an expression of blind devotion, or as a criticism of the power dynamics at play.
The lyrics of "Rise" depict a complex struggle for power - between an individual seeking to exert control and the people who have the power to validate or reject his claims. The song can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of blindly following a charismatic leader, or as a reminder of the importance of skepticism and critical thinking in the face of power dynamics.

I think 'Why do people get obsessed with a cartoon about pony's?' is more of an appropriate question.
