FiO is saying that like a child playing double dutch he is waiting for his moment to get back in the game. In this context ‘rise and shine’ refers to both a glass window (from earlier in the line) and waking up.

Also known as an opportunity.

Double Dutch is a form of the game of jump rope in which two persons, holding the respective ends of two long jump ropes, swing them in a synchronized fashion, usually directed inward so the ropes are going in opposite directions, for one or two others to jump over.

NuView is an appreciation of FiO’s production company NuView Productions.
