Rise Of The Morning Glory

“Rise Of The Morning Glory” by Edguy is a powerful anthem about awakening, resilience, and reclaiming one's spirit. The song opens with the imagery of an angel who has been dormant, symbolizing a person who has been in a state of stagnation or despair. The lyrics encourage this angel, or person, to leave behind their state of dormancy and embrace a new beginning. The phrase “time to leave the vale again” suggests a departure from a place of sorrow or inactivity, urging the listener to accelerate and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.

The chorus, with its uplifting message, emphasizes the theme of rebirth and empowerment. “You can fly, reach for the sky” is a call to action, encouraging the listener to aim high and embrace their potential. The “rise of the morning glory” metaphorically represents a new dawn, a fresh start where one can scream, shout, and come back to life. This imagery of the morning glory, a flower that blooms with the sunrise, reinforces the idea of renewal and the beauty of new beginnings.

The song also addresses the struggles and challenges one faces from external forces. Lines like “Everyday they're wounding your pride” and “Try to break you” reflect the societal pressures and obstacles that attempt to diminish one's dreams and spirit. However, the lyrics assert that there is an indomitable bastion within us—our passion, magic, and fire—that cannot be extinguished. This bastion represents the inner strength and resilience that allows us to rise above adversities and reclaim our lives. The song concludes with a sense of urgency, urging the listener to quicken their pace and not waste any more time, reinforcing the message of seizing the moment and embracing life fully.
