Open Up
N.I.M.R.O.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One memory flows in the air (let's think about)
So brothers and sisters, this we discovered (honesty)
Out roots and destiny push all the clouds away
Open up your heart and you will feel
Open up your eyes and you will see (open up your eyes)
Everybody's yearning, keep the fire burning
Open up your heart and you'll believe
Sometime the truth goes undercover
Get into the move and let it flow (like the wind, you know)
Go people around me, stand up like brothers
We're rising upon the sky to fly away
Open up your heart and you will feel (I know you'll feel it)
Open up your eyes and you will see (open up your heart)
Everybody's yearning, keep the fire burning
When love sets us free
Open up your heart and you'll believe
In N.I.M.R.O.D's song "Open Up," the lyrics express the need for unity and honesty among all people. The opening lines call for unity between each other, emphasizing the importance of coming together during challenging times. The reference to "one memory flows in the air" could signify a shared history or experience that connects us all.
The chorus encourages listeners to open up their hearts and eyes to the world around them, and to believe in the power of love to set us free. The repetition of the phrase "open up" suggests a need for vulnerability and openness in order to truly connect with others and find common ground. The second verse encourages people to embrace the truth, even if it is hidden, and to let it flow like the wind.
The song ends with a call to action, urging people to stand up like brothers and rise above the challenges of life. The imagery of flying away could signify the freedom and hope that comes from coming together and believing in a better future.

@yerpyaboy False. Nimrod was were they got white Santa from he literally wore a red robe with a pointed hat and had a pet deer. The reason he was considering such a messed up ruler is because he was out of place and white as a ghost. There are statues and paintings of him bro. Ask anyone in the mystery schools. As much as lies have been put out about ppl being white that weren't. Nimrod was a colonizer who had slaves from every race but his own which is why Hitler and all those evil ppl loved him so much.

@Withinsight oh yes that's right you was there when he wore it right
