Lift Me Up
A.S.S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I can feel it now
It's more obvious than ever there's a problem and I better try to figure out
If I'm willing to solve em or ignore em like a middle child
Seems like it's been awhile
Since I had an answer to one of life's riddles, I'm riddled out
And now I'm stuck in this mental house and these four walls
Are driving me crazy and I'm begging em all
To take a different route, somebody save me
All I see is madness on a daily
It's getting out of hand like droppin a baby
All the pills I keep slappin away when they try to medicate me
I'm a danger to my safety
And my angers got me strapped in a jacket at most times and lately
I react to the fact that it's all here to change me
With a middle finger right to the face and stay the same me

(Lift me up)
In life the pressure so heavy that I feel I fallen to the wayside
If only I can get away from everything, spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)
I know I wasn't born on this earth to become a failure and die
If only I can get away from everything spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)

Our life is unclear shed a heavenly tear
For father we still toughen it out down here
In the midst of mankind
Where moneys so tight they cuttin' throats for pennies nickels and dimes
Hard to walk a straight line
When the road curves like a snake
And most leaders are cowards lies and fakes
Who shout out follow in fear I pose a question
Your response, stay strong son and pick a direction
I'm not sure if I possess the confidence to carry on
I'm only here for today and tomorrow we'll be gone
It's an example of scenarios
Use your time to leave a mark stronger than a miracle felt in a soul
To a believer, you don't have to say it twice
To a skeptic, I'm sure no proof will ever suffice
To a sinner, it was over before it ever began
To the lost and lonely, sometimes they only need a friend

(Lift me up)
In life the pressure so heavy that I feel I fallen to the wayside
If only I can get away from everything, spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)
I know I wasn't born on this earth to become a failure and die
If only I can get away from everything spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)

You can't stop greatness
It has a way of shining through any gimmic or fake shit
My aspirations to make it
Don't make it easy for somebody trying to do it for real better believe me
Fly with me flap your wings slow
Feel the ground beneath your feet begin to go
Away from me I'm excited with energy
A vision of clarity rise above the storm for solidarity

And your popularity is a drop in the Bearing sea
And apparently your nothing but average
I'm a dangerous package
Drown you all in my daydream
I'm laughing like a jackal as I spread my wings and elevate free
I know you hate me
But in the grand scheme deep in your heart you wanna thank me
Cause were the same we
All looking for escape from pretty much the same things

(Lift me up)
In life the pressure so heavy that I feel I fallen to the wayside
If only I can get away from everything, spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)
I know I wasn't born on this earth to become a failure and die




If only I can get away from everything spread my wings and then fly
(Lift me up)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Lift Me Up" by A.S.S seemingly depict a person who is stuck in a difficult situation, both mentally and physically. The first verse talks about how the person has been struggling to find answers to life's problems, and it seems like it's been a while since they have been able to solve one of life's riddles. They feel trapped within their mental state and the four walls of their surroundings, which are driving them crazy. They beg for someone to save them from this madness that they experience on a daily basis.


The chorus of the song, "lift me up," emphasizes the overwhelming pressure that the person feels as though they have fallen to the wayside, and they want to escape from everything by spreading their wings and flying away. The song's hope comes from the idea that the person was not born on this earth to become a failure and die like they are currently feeling. They want to overcome their struggles and become someone that they can be proud of.


The second verse takes a more existential approach to the struggle and touches on the idea that life is unclear, and we're toughening it out down here. It discusses how hard it is to walk a straight line when the road curves like a snake and most leaders are cowards, lies, and fakes. The person posing a question to their audience asks if they possess the confidence to carry on, and they recognize that they're only here for today, and tomorrow they will be gone. However, they want to leave a mark stronger than a miracle felt in a soul or possibly even help someone who is lost and lonely because sometimes they only need a friend.
