SUNRISE
Pase Rock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Full of despair inside a darkness
Self conscious and scared, held prisoner of war
Running out of air, buried in a sadness
Want a way out of this paralyzing world
And the sound of the cries when a family's loved one dies
It echoes through a vacant room where a young soul still resides

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows

what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise.
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

Searching for a way to escape the madness
A dire need for change as we fight for better days
The hurt and the pain cut deep like a razor blade
Holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)

When the night is cold and you feel like no-one knows
what it's like to be the only one buried in this hole
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah)
You can make it to the sunrise
(Woah. Woah. Woah.)

I won't go to my grave until a difference is made
(Until a difference is made)
Until a difference is made

(From time to time, there arise among human beings,

people, who seem to exude love,
as naturally as the sun gives out heat.)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pase Rock's song "Sunrise" explore the themes of despair, sadness, and the need for hope and change. The opening lines convey a feeling of being trapped and suffocated in a dark space, both physically and emotionally, and the desire to escape. The reference to being a prisoner of war adds an additional layer of intensity and desperation to the imagery. The next lines describe the sound of grief and the echoes of loss that linger, leaving a young soul feeling isolated and alone in a vacant space.

The chorus brings a message of encouragement and hope, emphasizing that even in the midst of darkness and despair, it is possible to make it to the sunrise. The repeated "woahs" add to the sense of uplift and determination. The second verse reiterates the themes of pain, struggle, and longing, with a sense of urgency and necessity to fight for a better future. The lines "holding in a cry for love, abandoned and afraid" speak to the universal human experience of needing connection and support.

The final lines, "I won't go to my grave until a difference is made", carry a call to action and a sense of responsibility. The added quote at the end about people who naturally exude love suggests that there is a way to live and act that can help bring change and light into the world.
