Rising
Susijat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut me up like a knife
An empty plate for my hunger
An empty glass for my thirst
A broken smile for your might
Swallowed tongues and white eyes
Cold gasoline in my throat
Framing a black hole
A withering mind
One day to be remembered
One day to be a stranger
Scraping for that glimpse of kindness
Came to see, where you are
Rolled the dice, lost the fight
Cut the chain, broke the dam
Fix the holes, others grow
Said my name, heard the pain
Sweeping thru what is left
Starved the hope, shot the blank
Felt the rain on your face
You’re the fool that waits
The hand that gives, but never takes
The lyrics of Susijat's song "Rising" seem to describe a state of emptiness and despair, an individual in need of something, but feeling like they cannot find what they're looking for. The first verse describes this feeling of being reduced to a lie, like a knife cutting away at reality until all that is left is emptiness. There is a sense of hunger and thirst, but the plate and glass are both empty, making the situation seem even more dire. The broken smile may be an attempt at putting on a brave face, but it's clear that the situation is overwhelming the singer. The next line mentions "swallowed tongues and white eyes," indicating that the situation is causing physical and emotional distress. The mention of "cold gasoline" in the throat is a vivid and unsettling image, further emphasizing the hopeless tone. The phrase "framing a black hole" suggests that everything else in their life may be overshadowed by this one dire situation.
The second verse seems to focus more on action, but the tone remains bleak. The singer is "scraping for that glimpse of kindness," which implies that they are in a desperate state, looking for any spark of hope. However, even when they find someone or something that could possibly help, they feel defeated- they've "rolled the dice, lost the fight." The mention of fixing holes while others grow may be a comment on feeling like they're doing all the work and getting nothing in return, but it's unclear. The line about hearing pain implies that they may be building walls to keep themselves from getting hurt again, but it's not working. Finally, the last line-"you're the fool that waits, the hand that gives, but never takes"- suggests that the singer may have been in a relationship or situation where they gave too much and got nothing back. It may also imply that they will wait for someone else to save them, even when they know they must save themselves.
Overall, "Rising" is a song that reflects on the feeling of emptiness and despair. The lyrics are relatively short, but they paint a vivid and unsettling picture of the singer's mental state.
Line by Line Meaning
Shrink me down to a lie
Make me small and insignificant like a lie, reducing my worth
Cut me up like a knife
Hurt me deeply as if cutting with a sharp tool
An empty plate for my hunger
I have a strong need or desire that is not being met or fulfilled
An empty glass for my thirst
I am deeply in need and desire something that is not there to quench my thirst
A broken smile for your might
I am trying to please you, but I am broken and unable to do so effectively
Swallowed tongues and white eyes
I am overwhelmed and speechless, I am so scared that my eyes cannot hide the fear
Cold gasoline in my throat
I feel a burning sensation in my throat, as if being choked by the harsh reality of life and its circumstances
Framing a black hole
I am sinking into a deep, dark, and seemingly endless abyss with no hope of escape
A desolating cry
A painful cry that reflects the sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness of my situation
A withering mind
My mind is deteriorating, losing strength, and slowly diminishing
One day to be remembered
A day that is significant and unforgettable
One day to be a stranger
A day where I am unrecognizable and unfamiliar
Scraping for that glimpse of kindness
Desperately searching for even the slightest hint of compassion or empathy
Came to see, where you are
Making an effort to find your location and status
Rolled the dice, lost the fight
Took a risk, but failed to succeed
Cut the chain, broke the dam
Break free from a restrictive situation, allowing for a release of pent up emotion or action
Fix the holes, others grow
As I work on improving myself, I see others around me continue to progress and move ahead
Said my name, heard the pain
Acknowledgment of my existence, also means recognizing the hurt that I carry
Sweeping thru what is left
Going through the remaining items or options, leaving nothing behind
Starved the hope, shot the blank
Suppressing the one source of optimism that was left, putting an end to empty dreams
Felt the rain on your face
A powerful emotional release that manifests itself physically as tears rain down one's face
You’re the fool that waits
A person who is foolishly expecting something that will never come
The hand that gives, but never takes
Someone who is always giving but never receiving, leading to an empty and unfulfilled life
