(Story about the world)
Suddenly I'm something I'm not
I'm something that you bought
Was it something I said
My friend
Little girl are you tripping on this
You better come up for air
A Story about a girl
A Story about the world
Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there
Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
It's just where we live
Finally you think you're alright
Then it eats you up alive
You better get used to it
A story about a girl
A story about the world
Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
I know
It's stuck inside your head
You're alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
You're strong
It sucks you in again
And you're lost
You can't make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
You're nothing but the best
Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are
The lyrics of "Rhapsody In Blue" by The Band of Yorkshire Imperial Metals speak about two stories - a story about a girl and a story about the world. The first verse talks about how suddenly the singer feels like something they are not, something that has been bought, which makes them wonder if it was something that they said. The second verse speaks directly to a little girl, asking if she is tripping on something, and if she is, she better come up for air. The chorus connects both the stories by depicting a girl waking up to loneliness and seeking something in return. However, the singer promises to always be there for her with all their faith, heart, and the little things that are often taken for granted.
Line by Line Meaning
Suddenly I'm something I'm not
Feeling like I've changed into someone else
I'm something that you bought
I've become something that was purchased or manipulated
Was it something I said
Did I do something to cause this change?
My friend
Addressing someone who may have contributed to this change
Little girl are you tripping on this
Are you getting affected by this too?
Are you tripping all over it
Is it causing you to stumble or struggle?
You better come up for air
Take a break and clear your head
Are you waking up slowly
Starting to become aware of reality
Nothing but lonely
Feeling isolated and alone
Are you waking up
Becoming more conscious of the world
Holding, holding your breath
Feeling anxious or scared
Are you looking for something
Searching for meaning or purpose
I promise you one thing
I can assure you of something
I promise I'll always, always
I will be there to support and help
Baby girl, stand up and fight
Take a stand and defend yourself
This is not some paradise
The world is not perfect or ideal
It's just where we live
This is our reality
Finally you think you're alright
When you thought things were improving
Then it eats you up alive
Reality hits hard and takes a toll
You better get used to it
Adapt to the harshness and challenges of life
With all my faith
Believing wholeheartedly
And all my heart
With all my emotions and passion
And all those simple things you are
Appreciating and cherishing the little things
I know
I am aware of
It's stuck inside your head
Cannot stop thinking about it
You're alone
Feeling isolated or disconnected
And I know
I am aware
The feeling has to end
This pain and suffering cannot continue
You're strong
You have inner strength and resilience
It sucks you in again
The challenges pull you back in
And you're lost
Feeling confused or directionless
You can't make any sense
Unable to understand the situation
This world
Referring to the difficulties of life
It tears you limb from limb
The struggles take a heavy toll on you
And hold on
Stay strong and persevere
You're nothing but the best
You have what it takes to overcome
With all my faith
Believing wholeheartedly
And all my heart
With all my emotions and passion
And all those simple things you are
Appreciating and cherishing the little things
