Rising
S.V.P Lyrics

Hello hello hello hello
The repetition of 'hello' signifies a greeting or attempt to grab attention from the listener.

Every anywhere heights plains peaks or valleys
Life can take you to any place, whether it's high or low, a plain or a peak.

Entrances exits vestibules and alleys
The various pathways and decisions that can lead you to different places.

Winding roads that test the firm nerve
Life's challenges that can test one's strength and courage.

Fortune or fatal behind the blind curve
The unknown risks and potential consequences of taking a certain path.

The engine oil purr lights flash to a blur
The thrill and excitement of acceleration while driving a car at high speeds.

Speed work through the earth make your motor go scurr!
The exhilaration and rush of powerful movement and fast-paced living.

Tonight at noon watch a bad moon rising
A sense of impending doom or danger that is coming soon, even during the day.

Identities in crisis and conflict diamonds
The struggle to maintain one's sense of self and individuality in a world of conflict and violence.

Blindin' staring at lights till they cryin'
The exhausting and draining effects of modern technology and society on people's eyes and minds.

Bone gristle popping from continuous grindin'
The physical toll and wear and tear of working hard and constantly grinding in life.

Grapes of wrath in a shapely glass
The pleasures and temptations that life offers, often in the form of alcohol.

Ingredients influential on your ways and acts
The various factors and influences that shape one's personality and behavior.

Zero tolerance to raise the tax
