– Rise Again (5:29) –
(Pietro Cottone)
This is a motivational song about a drug addict who wants to quit, who keeps on trying but everything seems like a failure. This song speaks about the daily routine of trying and failing in the cycle of the addiction; about rising again and falling yet again. Nonetheless, the song encourages the addict to keep on trying, and to live every day facing fears, and slaying the addiction demon.
Lyrics:
Staring into the mirror, you are touching a crumbling face
No more light in your eyes, who’s reflected is not yourself
You don’t know who you are, you don’t know what you’re living for
Sinking into the dark, there’s no sun anymore
One more day, same old day, same old steep trail along your way
Climb again, fall again, that’s the drama you’re used to play
Your wild search for oblivion confines you in a prison cell
Craving for paradise while you’re sliding to hell
Rise again, deep inside your daemon’s breathing
Watch its eyes, smell its breath, touch its skin
Rise again, don’t wear down and keep on trying,
Face your fears, fix your faults, fight your flaws
One more time, one last time, one more wrecking excuse to fail
Keep on saying: “We’ll be fine, just a tough day, it numbs the pain”
“Can control, just a bit, feed the beast and tomorrow I quit”
Pull the trigger of the gun pointed under your chin
Rise again, in the dark your daemon’s growling
Fix its eyes, read its mind, take its soul
Rise again, one more time, stand up and fight it
Rise again, rise again, rise again
Pride yourself, now that you’ve faced your own daemon
Don’t be afraid, there won’t be any fear to be free
Breathe the change, live in the world as a new you
Be aware, never let your guard down, you must fight every day to stay clean
Rise again, rise again, rise again
Rise again, rise again, rise again
Rise again, rise again, rise again
