The Little Ones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my raised, tired brows have witnessed its lore
and I won't have much to say, if I don't return.
Easy risers don't give into pleas,
they don't take mess from the sleepy streets
and the abacus says, 'keep on counting…'
The law of the waking people greets with such heavy cymbals
you’re the king who’s crowned as they lay down!
A big day is brewing; shall we covet it more?
We owe our advances to the dormant corps
and the silence they display in their four-walled bunker.
My gait now quickens with the greatest of ease,
a shower of truth wrinkles head to feet,
and the answer of the day is ‘you’ve made it!’
The law of the waking people greets with such heavy cymbals
and the morn’ catches fire
you’re the king who’s crowned as they lay down!
The law of the waking people greets with such heavy cymbals!
The Little Ones's song "Cha Cha Cha" draws the listener into the story of someone waking up early after a long night's sleep. The opening lyrics paint a vivid picture of a bed with crisp sheets, pulled down to the floor. The singer's "raised, tired brows" have witnessed the bed's stories, and they don't plan on contributing much to those stories if they don't return. The song then takes on a more upbeat tone as the singer continues to describe their day, punctuated by heavy cymbals signaling the start of the day.
As the song progresses, the singer's outlook becomes increasingly optimistic. They note that a "big day is brewing" and that they owe their successes to the "dormant corps" who have paved the way for them. The singer's gait quickens, and they feel a "shower of truth" washing over them. By the end of the song, the singer has realized that they have "made it" and that they are the "king" who is crowned as others are settling into bed.
The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about the journey from sleep to wakefulness and the hopefulness that comes from a new day. The heavy cymbals and uplifting melodies add to this sense of optimism and create a feeling of excitement for what the day may bring.
