Rise Up
NerdOut feat. Meganyy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No time to run
It's the fight of your life
Your time has come
Just follow the light
Steady your guns
With all of your might
Til the fight is won
This is our time to rise

We've defeated every interplanetary challenger
The Cabal
Yeah, they got the gall to come and battle us
Ever since the Traveller was captured
We've been going through a living hell
You can call it a rapture
The tower was blown to bits
It was a massacre
Now they want us to bow down and call 'em masters? No
The light belongs to us, not scavengers
Jealousy of tech hungry, loot stealing saboteurs

Ok, now we've had enough
You say you're ready but hold up, hold up, we calling your bluff
Let's hold it steady, this is now or never
Get all your guns and a secondary
Better count your blessings, gotta get up and run
We are the guardians

The opposition is tough
Get another weapon, they overstepping
Gonna blow 'em to dust
It's Armageddon, this is now or never
Get all your guns and a secondary
Better count your blessings, gotta get up and run
We are the guardians

They have come to take what's ours
We have lost the light so sacred
(Rise up)
A rightful place amongst the stars
So now we have to fight
To
Take
It
Back

Took out our satellites and hit us with a sneak attack
Then we tried to hold the line, but we couldn't keep 'em back
Couldn't get the speaker back, red devils took our home
Now our factions are scattered into different zones
This is just another chapter in the saga
Now we gotta find Cayde, Ikora, and Zavala
Shoulda been vigilant, diligent
Now we gotta rally all the citizens
Rise up and hit again

Ok, now we've had enough
You say you're ready but hold up, hold up, we calling your bluff
Let's hold it steady, this is now or never
Get all your guns and a secondary
Better count your blessings, gotta get up and run
We are the guardians

The opposition is tough
Get another weapon, they overstepping
Gonna blow 'em to dust
It's Armageddon, this is now or never
Get all your guns and a secondary
Better count your blessings, gotta get up and run
We are the guardians

They have come to take what's ours
We have lost the light so sacred
(Rise up)
A rightful place amongst the stars
So now we have to fight
To
Take
It
Back (rise up)
No time to run
It's the fight of your life
Your time has come
Just follow the light
Steady your guns
With all of your might
Til the fight is won
This is our time to rise
(This is our time to rise)

They have come to take what's ours
We have lost the light so sacred (sacred)
A rightful place amongst the stars (the stars)
So now we have to fight
To
Take




It

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NerdOut feat. Meganyy's song "Rise Up" provide a commentary on a futuristic fight between interplanetary forces for power and control. The song starts with a call to action for the singer not to run away from the fight of their life, but rather to rise up and follow the light. The light is a symbol for the source of power that the singer and their fellow guardians of the galaxy must use to defeat their interplanetary challengers. They have already faced the Cabal who dared to challenge them, causing destruction and chaos in their wake. The guardians firmly believe that the power of light belongs to them and not to scavengers or tech-hungry saboteurs.


The chorus of the song calls for an end to the fight with determination and a willingness to protect what is theirs at all costs. The guardians must get over their trust issues and band together as they fight for what is rightfully theirs. They have lost the light that was sacred to them, but now it is time to reclaim it and their rightful place amongst the stars. The second verse talks about the devastations that occurred before the fight and how the opposition almost won. The guardians couldn't keep them back and they are now scattered in different zones, but this is just another chapter in their ongoing saga. Going forward, they must be vigilant and rally all their citizens to rise up and fight again.
