Lifted
Allie X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listening to everything from grunge to rock n' roll
Our feet don't touch the ground
Fly like a plastic bag that's
Lifted
We inhale the helium and leave the shit below
We don't get in traffic jams we're shining on this road
We keep it super basic
Lifted
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away and it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up on the low down
Every day spinning like a merry-go-round
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
Wake up every morning we got troubles at our door
We get lifted right away no we don't touch the floor
We want to see in colour
We want to feel each other
Lifted
Drifting through the day no I don't make my mama proud She keep trying to talk to me but I am in the clouds
No I don't feel the pressure
Up here the air is fresher
Lifted
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away and it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up on the low down
Every day spinning like a merry-go-round
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away and it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up on the low down
Every day spinning like a merry-go-round
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
The lyrics to Allie X’s song Lifted is an ode to being young, carefree, and reckless. It tells the story of a group of boys and girls who are floating through life on a high, fueled by their love of music, and their desire to escape the mundane realities of everyday living. The opening lines describe the group as being “lifted boys and girls” who are on a roll, listening to everything from grunge to rock n’ roll. They feel as if their feet don’t touch the ground, and they fly like a plastic bag that’s lifted.
The group of young people inhale helium and leave their problems below. They don’t get stuck in traffic jams like everyone else, and they’re shining on this road. They want to forget their troubles, to feel alive and untethered, so they keep it simple and basic. The chorus repeats that they got lifted on a Monday, and they floated away until it was Sunday. All they want is to forget their problems, so they get high up on the low down every day, spinning like a merry-go-round.
The second verse describes the consequences of this lifestyle - the fact that they wake up with troubles at their door every morning, but they get lifted right away and never touch the floor. They want to see in color, want to feel each other, and keep themselves lifted, constantly hoping that it will help them forget. The final chorus repeats their desire to forget as they spin through life, always lifted.
Overall, Allie X’s Lifted is a vivid and poignant expression of the collective longing to escape the mundane drudgery of everyday living and find happiness through the cheap thrills of reckless abandon.

We don't get in traffic jams
We're shining on this road
With sunshine on our faces
We keep it super basic lifted
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away
And it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up
On the low down
Every day spinning like
A merry-go-round
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
Wake up every morning
We got troubles at our door
We get lifted right away no
We don't touch the floor
We want to see in color
We want to feel
Each other lifted
Drifting through the day
No I don't make my mama proud
She keep trying to talk to me
But I am in the clouds
No we don't feel the pressure
Up here the air is fresher lifted
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away
And it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up

All we want is to forget
We got lifted on a Monday
Then we floated away
And it was Sunday
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget
We get high up
On the low down
Every day spinning like
A merry-go-round
All we want is to forget
All we want is to forget

It's about being stuck in the past, stuck in your head, and escapism with substance abuse.

@Andrea Miano they have a similar melody pattern, like ALL other songs have in common with other songs. The melodies aren't even identical but I guess you're not musically bright enough to hear that. How the songs are built aren't very similar so it's likely a coincidence, or inspiration. Like literally all music

I relate to this so much tho. Like, do you know that feeling when you start overthinking and you don't even notice that you've been doing that for hours until you look at the clock? It's also the same with daydreaming, like, we start imagining beautiful and nice things, in order to forget about reality, because "all we want is to forget" about our problems.
(i'm sure that nobody will see this but stillllll)
