Rebel
Sean Koch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I in too deep to see
Is this chord powerful or is it half empty
Is my heart an overgrown weed
Reaching to far out for me

Is this journey for me to succeed
Or am I running away from the things that scare me
Gonna take my time

Gonna take what's mine

Sit up in the morning time
See what it's brought me, nothing but simplicity
And I'm not gonna lose my mind
Thinking bout money or changes in society

And I'm gonna feed my fire
With friends and family, spiritual oddity
Take me higher, take me higher, take me higher

You're a rebel in your own kinda way
With your individuality and things you wanna say
You're a rebel in your own kinda way
Feeding your heart and soul what it deserves each day

You're a rebel in your own kinda way
Never letting any demons coming into you astray
You're a rebel in your own kinda way
In your own kinda way

Take me higher, higher, higher
Take me higher, higher, higher
Take me higher, higher, higher
Take me higher, higher, higher

Sit up in your morning time
See what it's brought me
Sit up in the morning time
Nothing by simplicity

Sit up in the morning time
See what it's brought me, nothing but simplicity
And I'm not gonna lose my mind
Thinking bout money or changes in society

And I'm gonna feed my fire
With friends and family, spiritual oddity
Take me higher, take me higher, take me higher (Higher)
Take me higher, take me higher, take me higher (Higher)

Take me higher, take me higher, take me higher (Feed my fire)
Take me higher, take me higher, take me higher (Feed my fire, friends and family, spiritual oddity)

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Sean Koch's "Rebel" convey a sense of uncertainty and doubt: "Am I in too deep to see? / Is this chord powerful or is it half empty?" The singer questions whether they are on the right path, whether their efforts are worth it, and whether they are capable of meeting their goals.

Despite this, the singer is determined to move forward: "Gonna take my time / Gonna take what's mine." They are prepared to put in the work necessary to succeed.

As the song progresses, the singer explains their approach to life. They prioritize simplicity, rejecting the distractions and pressures of society: "I'm not gonna lose my mind / Thinking bout money or changes in society." Instead, they find meaning in their relationships with others ("friends and family") and their spiritual practices ("spiritual oddity"). The refrain of the song highlights the singer's individuality and self-determination: "You're a rebel in your own kinda way / Feeding your heart and soul what it deserves each day."

They want to continue to evolve, to deepen their relationships, and to explore their spiritual side. Ultimately, "Rebel" is a call to individuality and authenticity, encouraging listeners to find their own path and stay true to it.
