"Rise, Naianasha (Cut The Cord)" is a song by the American rock band Coheed and Cambria. It is the twelfth track on their upcoming album Vaxis - Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind and the album's second official single. Lyrics[][Verse 1] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus] [Verse 3] [Bridge] [Chorus] [Outro] Music Visualizer[]On November 10, 2021, when the single was officially released, a "visualizer" was released on the band's YouTube page. It was designed and produced by 351 Studio.[3] The video is steeped in the world of Vaxis; featuring sci-fi space ships, aliens, hover crafts, and the like. Story Context[]This song again seems to be almost entirely from Vaxis's point-of-view. Verse 1 could be him becoming self-aware and finding that he can't function the way he wants to do to his condition. In the story, Vaxis is already 5 years old, but basically sits and stares out all day or sleeps. Most children are beginning to explore their environment and speak at age 2, if not before then. This song could be showing that Vaxis wanted to do those things, but couldn't. Additionally, we have been given many hints that a future, older Vaxis may be able to communicate with the past. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that the line "The fear boy, you own it" is his older self talking to this younger version and telling him that things will be okay. Given the title of the song, the lines, "She's plucking her wings / She laughs while you go replace them" must refer to Naianasha. Perhaps this is a comforting glimpse into the future that awaits a younger Vaxis provided, again, by this older one who would know. The lines, "There's a change of the guard / So you play your part" are interesting as we have had a scene in which this occurs: the first chapter when Nia and Nos are breaking into the pharmaceutical company. Could this be showing us that Vaxis is aware of what is happening around him, he's just unable to convey that? The chorus then may also be a mix-up of perceptions: "Call me and I'll be there / When you need your great, your great destroyer" may be from his older self; reassuring and ready to blast away any doubts about his future. While "Oh my, baby boy / Don't you cry, it's you and I / In a do or die / Overboard" may be his actual father speaking to him (reminiscent of "Blood"). With the last line, "Now cut the cord" being that adult self coming back into say "Don't get too attached." Verse 2 brings us back to that inner voice... while the last two lines seem to cut in from Nos again. Verse 3 is a complete tone shift, leading it to seem as though a new speaker is in the mix. This could be the titular Naianasha. In the future, an older Vaxis may work closely with her in the same way Claudio Kilgannon worked alongside Ambellina. We even hear, at the end, the kind of building wailing heard in some of the "Willing Well" Song Suite. Thus, this song may be more of a hint of things to come... Background[]Sanchez said in a press release that the song "explores the reach of love and loyalty and the reality that sometimes you need to be more than a shoulder to lean on—you need to become the destroyer."[4] This song was in the same vein as "Blood", as well, where it was geared toward Sanchez's son. "I'll always be there for for him, regardless of if I'm here or not," Sanchez said, "You're going to have me forever, and I'll do whatever I can to protect you."[5] Trivia[]
