He is asking God to save him because the Devil is working hard to take his valuable soul. .

Speaking of jobs, Job’s faith was also tested by the devil in the Book of Job of the Bible. With permission from God, Satan destroyed Job’s house and killed his kids and livestock. In the end, Job doesn’t curse God and remains faithful. .

Time is running out, the time is now, stand up or die.

These two lines have similar imagery to Revelation 7:1-3 in the Bible:

After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.

In both cases, the apocalyptic weather represents destruction and the end as we know it. .

Also, Martin Luther King said:

A man who won’t die for something is not fit to live.

Combine the two

Stand for something or die in the morning

Stand for something, be ready to die for that something, or you might as well just die…in the morning.

Kendrick also plays on the quote “Those who stand for nothing fall for anything” and its various forms, exaggerating it to the extent that if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall right into your grave.

Also, one could understand it as “mourning”, rather than “morning”, meaning that if you sit around being sad and mournful over your problems rather than standing up and trying to solve them, you might as well give up and die now.

The word “morning” may connote a feeling of goodness and freshness. This time of good-feelings and conduces to the unpredictability of the end times.
