Rise Up
Thomas Jack & Jasmine Thompson Lyrics

Wisdom, like water, runs down to my feet
The singer feels like they can gain wisdom naturally, almost like water seeping down to their feet.

The more that you tell me, the less I can sleep
The singer is overwhelmed with information, causing them to be restless and unable to rest.

Time is a weapon that takes every man
Time can wear down and defeat even the strongest of men.

Oh, let me be young, I won't understand
The artist wishes to remain in a state of blissful ignorance, not wanting to comprehend the harsher realities of life.

Rise up like smoke, let the air choke
The artist is urging listeners to rise up and cause a commotion, even if it means making others uncomfortable.

Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go
Obstacles and challenges will fall apart if we don't hold onto them too tightly.

Rise up the sea, oh let me be
The singer desires to be washed over by the crashing waves, symbolizing a surrender to the unpredictable, tumultuous nature of life.

And let the waves crash over me (let the waves crash over me)
Reiterating the desire to give in to the power of the waves.

Let go of reasons, surrender to fate
Stop trying to reason things out and accept that some things are simply out of our control.

The apple of Eden is all yours to taste
The temptation of indulgence is there for the taking.

Nobody's perfect and things will be rough
Accept that people and life itself are imperfect and will bring about challenges.

Love conquers all, so let there be love
The artist believes love can overcome any obstacle or challenge in life, urging more people to embrace it.

Rise up the sea, oh let me be and let the waves crash over me
A repetition of the desire to abandon control and let life's power take over.
