Lyrics: Rising Power by AC/DC
Dog day, Tuesday Hope that girl she come today Hard life, it's a city life Sweat keep pourin' down I've got my feet up, like to love Through the dawn, till I've blown All I want's her lovin'-down Love the way she move around Need no excuse To let it all hang loose My body's for abuse Rising power We'll raise the night Rising power Rising power We'll wake the dead Rising power You've got it Love life, up all night Darkest hour at the dead of night Seen her walkin' down the street The kind of woman that brings on heat Love hard, dusk till dawn Come the morning, she was gone Took me out, to my surprise Money blown, left high and dry Need no excuse To let it all hang loose My body's for abuse Rising power We'll raise the night Rising power Rising power We'll wake the dead Rising power Gonna end up torn to shreds (That's the power!) Don't need no excuse My body's for abuse Rising power We'll raise the night Rising power Rising power We'll wake the dead Rising power Gonna end up torn to shreds Rise! Rise! I'm gonna rise! Rising power The power rise From you
Exploring the Energy and Attitude of “Rising Power”
Raw Urban Passion
“Rising Power” captures the gritty spirit of city life and the relentless pursuit of excitement. The lyrics paint a picture of long nights, fleeting romances, and the electric energy that runs through urban streets. The protagonist seeks thrill and connection, unafraid to embrace excess and vulnerability. The repeated refrain of “rising power” channels both physical energy and an unyielding drive to live in the moment, even if it means burning out fast. AC/DC’s signature swagger is on full display, blending themes of desire, liberation, and the consequences of living hard. The song’s anthemic approach encourages listeners to let loose and embrace their own rising power.
