Rise
Raney Shockne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still searching
For someone to lead me
Can you guide me
To the revolt inside me
Promise surviving the Breach
Promise surviving the Breach in the sky
Templars igniting
Fire inside me
Maker remind me
Gone are the days of our peace
Now we reside in the great divide
Promise surviving the Breach in the sky
The lyrics to Raney Shockne's "Rise" convey a deep sense of yearning and searching for purpose in a world that seems to have lost its way. The opening lines "Find me, still searching, for someone to lead me" reveal a desperate desire to find someone or something that can provide guidance and direction. The lyricist is searching for a leader who can help him tap into a sense of rebellion or revulsion at the status quo that seems to have taken over. "Can you guide me to the revolt inside me" highlights that there is a fire burning within him that he wants to channel into positive change.
The next lines "Promise surviving the Breach, Promise surviving the Breach in the sky" touch upon the idea that there is a glimmer of hope or a promise that things can get better even in the midst of chaos and destruction. The Breach in the sky could be a metaphor for the times when we seem to be at the breaking point, but the promise of survival signifies that there is still a way forward.
As the song progresses, the lyrics mention "Templars igniting fire inside me" and "Maker remind me, gone are the days of our peace" which suggest that the world around us is in flames and we need to be moved to action rather than be passive spectators. The final lines "Now we reside in the great divide, Promise surviving the Breach in the sky" hint that we as individuals need to make a choice to rise up and fight for what we believe in, even if that means going against the grain or being unpopular. There is still the promise of survival, and that in itself is a powerful motivation.
