Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tower so high
Let your love surround me
Light my life to carry on
We'll build on this rock
Críosta ó cumhdaigh mé
Críosta coimhéad mé
Críosta an Rí
Críosta ó treorái mé
Críosta óteagasc mé
Críosta an Rí
(Christ cover me
Christ guard me
Christ keep me
Christ the King
Christ deliver me
Christ guide me
Christ teach me
Christ the King)
A banner of peace
A prayer to be free
Let your love surround me
Light my heart to carry on
We'll build on this rock
A fountain of gold
The lyrics to "The Big Rock" by Mбire Brennan present a message of hope and faith, as well as a commitment to love and peace. The song starts with the idea of building a tower on a strong foundation, the rock, to represent a life that is steady and reliable. The tower represents not only a physical structure but also a metaphorical one, a symbol of a strong and stable life that is rooted in faith and love. The following lines that say 'Let your love surround me' and 'Light my life to carry on' express a sense of dependence on the divine and an acknowledgement of the fact that love provides the strength and support needed to keep going.
The second verse of the song is in Irish Gaelic and talks about Christ, the King. The lyrics express a desire to be covered, guarded, kept, delivered, guided and taught by Christ. The words convey a sense of surrender to a higher power, a request for guidance and protection. The final verse, 'A banner of peace, a prayer to be free, Let your love surround me, Light my heart to carry on' repeats the idea that love can bring peace and freedom, and once again highlights the importance of being surrounded by love.
Overall, "The Big Rock" is a hopeful and uplifting song that speaks to the importance of being anchored in faith and love in order to have a life that is strong and stable. It's a message that transcends religion and speaks to the universal human need for a sense of security and support.

Alexander Ward was easily my favorite here. His constant befuddlement and calling out the party's weirder antics was fucking hilarious. Here are some of his reactions:
12:19 Everything that we do has consequences or rewards.
12:41 That sounds very important.
12:47 She's technically correct.
13:55 Good.
26:20 To leave or to stay
28:27 ... Okay.
43:06 Animal knowledge
47:29 A philosophical standpoint
48:24 Should we kill them?
48:40 Avoidance is the way of peace.
50:08 Supernova
50:26 Do you have a name?
52:29 Challenges
1:00:41 Had a thing in my head.
1:22:52 On my helmet?
1:27:03 I'm starting to figure it out
1:31:32 That's the first time I believed something you've said.
1:35:58 Horse-Tasha
1:44:05 It would clog my armor
2:50:26 Lucky numbers
2:53:02 What do you think, Marcus?
2:59:47 Perspective
3:01:08 No middle ground with bananas
3:07:05 'Ello
3:17:47 Jim face
3:29:00 We should start a troupe
3:37:35 What's wrong with you?!
3:38:02 ... How did this happen?
3:47:00 Fingers crossed
4:31:51 In rememberance
4:33:34 Things do not work here the way they're supposed to.
