Castle
Secret Nation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give up
When I'm not
Enough
Say you won't
Lay down
When I've lost
My crown
When the walls come
crashing down
We will rise from the ashes
We can build a castle
build a castle
One brick at a time
One brick at a time
We can build an empire
Build an empire
One brick at a time
One brick at a time
We can build a castle
build a castle
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build an empire
build an empire
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
Say you'll call
My name
when the bright
lights fade
say you will
find me
through the dust
We'll be
Standing tall when the walls
come down
We will rise from the ashes
We can build a castle
build a castle
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build an empire
build an empire
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build a castle
build a castle
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
Wen can build an empire
build an empire
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
When the walls come
crashing down
we will rise from the ashes
We can build a castle
build a castle
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build an empire
build an empire
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build a castle
build a castle
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
We can build an empire
build an empire
one brick at a time
one brick at a time
The lyrics of Secret Nation's song "Castle" is a message of hope and perseverance, of sticking together even in times of adversity or when one is feeling insufficient or defeated. It begins with the singer pleading for someone to not give up on them when they are not enough, to not desert them when they have lost their crown. The chorus talks about building a castle or an empire, not in one swift action, but slowly and steadily, one brick at a time. Even though the walls may come crashing down, the message is that they will rise from the ashes because they know they can build something strong one brick at a time. The singer asks the listener to promise that they will stay with them through the ups and downs, even when the bright lights fade and through the dust and debris. The song ends with the reminder that no matter how many times the walls may come crashing down, they can rebuild and rise from the ashes, one brick at a time.
