RISE
Parabelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tread that water line
She said you're running out of time
She said you're my little rose, but the heads are gonna roll
She starts talking faster now, so you cannot say a word
And she's hoping you wont notice
Whatever's wrong whatever makes you--

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...

There's no turning back
She says we all get out of line
She says pour another dose, cause you're the reason why
I'm so good at breaking your heart
You've already pooled up the pieces
And whatever brought you back
Is what makes you guilty inside…

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...

I'm hurt;
I fall!
Are you hurt by it all?

(There's no water line, she said no...)

Rise up tragedy!
Take this useless heart and watch me survive
Right in front of you
And it breaks my heart to watch you survive...




(without it)
It breaks my heart, and I watch you survive.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Parabelle's song "Rise" are a complex mix of emotions and ideas, with themes of desperation, survival, and tragedy woven throughout. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as the singer is warned that they are running out of time and that their actions could have dire consequences. The lyric "she said you're my little rose, but the heads are gonna roll" suggests that the person being addressed is in a precarious position, and that their fate is largely out of their own hands.


As the song progresses, the urgency and desperation of the situation become more pronounced. The singer is accused of being the reason for the singer's pain, and is urged to "pour another dose" in order to forget or numb their feelings. The line "whatever brought you back is what makes you guilty inside" suggests that there is some kind of past trauma or hurt that is driving the singer's behavior, and that this guilt is at the root of their anxiety and self-destructive tendencies.


The chorus, with its repeated call to "rise up tragedy," suggests that the singer is determined to overcome their circumstances and survive, even if it means enduring further pain or hardship. The final lines of the song, with their image of the singer watching the singer survive despite their own pain, underscores the complex emotional landscape of the song and leaves the listener with an ambiguous and haunting final impression.

There is something magical about Matisyn. The raw emotion that pores out his mouth is beyond amazing!!!

@khristinajuneau26

I absolutely love his voice. When he was with EB, my favorite song was quote. He has a way of making a story into a song and that's what makes the music so amazing. Also, his voice it so unique. I just found out about his new band. It's pretty awesome to know he is still making music.
