Rise Again
Sator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going to Jamaica,
Warm and Coral Waters Flow
There She Goes
Sun Kissed Her Body, in This Magic Feel Love Grow,
Love Grows
Feel Like Letting Go
Right Out the Hole
It Stops in a Minute,
It's Right Down in It
Hey, We're Really Back On a Roll
I Don't Know Why, I Don't Know Why
Feel So Good I Could Die, I Could Die
Great Escape, I'll Be There, By the Skin of My Teeth, On a Wish and a Prayer
With a Head Full of Hammers, Both Feet in the Grave, I'm Gonna Stand I'm Gonna Rise Again
Dream Time (Lavinia?),
Even Though the Odds Are Stacked, She's Coming Back
(Moon Monkeys Barking?) in a Bitter Chocolate Glow,
There She Goes, Feel Like Letting Go...
Hey, Mr. Cool Jazz Nights, Let the Fever Go,
It Stops in a Minute, I'm Down in It
Hey, Play It Long and Slow
I Don't Know Why, I Don't Know Why,
Feels So Good I Could Die, I Could Die,
With a Great Escape, I'll Be There, By the Skin of My Teeth On a Wish and a Prayer
With a Head Full of Hammers, Both Feet in the Grave, I'm Gonna Stand I'm Gonna Rise Again
(Instrumental)
With a Great Escape, I'll Be There, By the Skin of My Teeth On a Wish and a Prayer
With a Head Full of Hammers Both Feet in the Grave, I'm Gonna Stand I'm Gonna Rise Again
I've Been Stricken, I'll Be There, By the Skin of My Teeth On a Wish and a Prayer, and I'm
Not Going Down, Both Feet in the Grave, I'm Gonna Stand I'm Gonna Rise Again.
Dream Time (Lavinia?)
Feel Like Letting Go.
(End!)
The song "Rise Again" by Sator takes listeners on a journey through escape, reflection, and rebirth. The opening lines mention Jamaica and warm, coral waters, creating an image of retreat to a tropical paradise. The lyrics continue on to describe a feeling of love growing and the desire to let go. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer appears to be searching for a way out of their troubles.
The chorus features the repeated phrase "I Don't Know Why, I Don't Know Why, Feels So Good I Could Die, I Could Die" which could represent both the intoxicating pull of escape as well as a feeling of uncertainty regarding the future. Despite this, the singer insists they will rise again, standing on a wish and a prayer with a head full of hammers and both feet in the grave.
The second verse introduces the character of Lavinia, who seems to be coming back despite the odds being stacked against her. The mention of moon monkeys and bitter chocolate create a sense of surrealism and dreaminess. The song ends with the line "Feel Like Letting Go" which brings it full circle to the beginning.
