I've Got to Rise
Luciano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself, this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know down well
I've got you under my skin?

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear,
Don't you know, you fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you under my skin.

I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, how it yells in my ear,
Don't you know, you fool, ain't no chance to win
Why not use your mentality, get up, wake up to reality?
And each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin




Cause I've got you under my skin.
And I like you under my skin.

Overall Meaning

Luciano's song "I've Got to Rise" is vastly different from the original Sherman Brothers classic "I've Got You Under My Skin" made popular by Frank Sinatra. Luciano puts his own spin on the song, turning it into a soulful and uplifting track that speaks of rising up and overcoming obstacles. The haunting melody and soulful lyrics in "I've Got to Rise" make it a powerful piece that can bring listeners to their feet.


The lyrics of the song are a reflection of the artist's determination to overcome life's challenges. The first stanza of the song speaks of how deep the object of the singer's affection is within them. The person is a part of the singer and they cannot resist them, even though they know it cannot end well. The second stanza emphasizes the singer's determination, as they declare their willingness to sacrifice anything to have the person near them, despite the warning voice in their ear telling them to wake up and realize that they can't win. The third stanza gives a nod to the original, as the singer repeats the warning, but reinforces their mantra of "I've got to rise" to overcome any obstacle in their way.


The song is a reflection of Luciano's personal struggles and also carries a broader message of encouragement to anyone facing challenges in life. It speaks of rising above negativity, self-doubt, and obstacles to achieve success.
