Rising
Son Lux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All things yearning for the push?
Can you hear the ever groaning?
Shedding hours we have become?
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
Only in memory
Clocks tick, hands don't move
What tongues can whisper of coming remedy?
We are the rising suns
What tongues can whispher of coming remedy?
We are the rising suns
Are we bursting from the ashes?
All things yearning for the push?
Can you hear the ever groaning?
Shedding hours we have become?
We are rising suns
What things will linger?
Held by the memory
Clocks tick, hands removed
What lungs can hold it?
Push out the melody
We are the rising suns
Are we bursting from the ashes?
All things yearning for the push?
Can you hear the ever groaning?
Shedding hours we have become?
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
We are rising suns
These lyrics are from Son Lux's song "Rising" which is a haunting and introspective track that explores themes of rebirth, renewal, and transcendence. The song itself is characterized by a slow and ethereal melody that gradually builds in intensity, creating a sense of tension and anticipation. In these lyrics, the singer seems to be asking if we are capable of rising from the ashes of our past selves, shedding our old ways and embracing something new and transformative.
The lyrics suggest a sense of longing and yearning for something more, both individually and collectively. The repeated refrain of "We are rising suns" seems to suggest a newfound sense of hope and optimism, as if the singer is speaking to a group of people who are ready to embrace change and leave their old lives behind. The line "What tongues can whisper of coming remedy?" reinforces this sense of anticipation, as if the singer is asking what kind of solutions or answers lie ahead in this new direction.
One of the most interesting aspects of this song is how it blends electronic and orchestral elements to create a unique sound. The instrumentation includes synthesizers, strings, and a driving drum beat, which all work together to create a sense of soaring energy and excitement. Additionally, the use of repetition and layering is a key feature of the song, as the melody and lyrics gradually build in complexity and intensity.
