Story Behind The Song

based loosely on past relationships, feeling mentally torn apart and having a lot of angst in my high school years.

Song Description

this song tells the story of two people with angst that is seperating what could have been in their relationship, while using lots of symbolism, especially having to do with the berlin wall in germany.

Lyrics

Chelsea Lamb

THE BERLIN WALL SONG (RISE ABOVE IT ALL)

i don't know why
the beer bottle flies
But it follows with
your sinking eyes
they float down with
the panorama
I try to scan the sinking sigh you have.

CHORUS
And it feels like
the sky's gonna fall
And it hurts like
you put back up the Berlin Wall
And if it ever were to come
down again
I would not tell at all
Cuz my soul shall rise
with the hope that hides inside.

I don't know where
I mean to escape
All I saw was you
Sittin' on recycled crates
And the cracked up bottle
Was cracking me up
While the wall between our mouths
Was tearing me apart

So why can't I say
What I want to make, to state
If I was bottled up like the bottle smashed
That used to be in those crates?
(repeat chorus)

guitar solo, then repeat chorus more speedily and with more melodic strength
while repeating 'rise above it all,'
'rise above your faults,'
'rise above your Berlin Wall'
