Elevate
Auryn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like silence
And i can't seem to feel the space
Feels like violence
I'm out of time and out of place
Can't feel the floor, don't see the lights
Anticipating midnight
Too scared to fall, long way to fly
And i am waiting to go...
Higher
Elevate the state i'm in
Go higher
Reming myself i'm breathing
Want to feel again
Want to live
Take it all in
Feels like silence
And every wall is moving in
Words like weapons
Are leaving footsprints on my skin
Can't feel the floor, can't hear my mind
I'm reaching out for daylight
Too scared to fall, long way to fly
And i am waiting to go...
Higher
Elevate the state i'm in
Go higher
Remind myself i'm breathing
Want to feel again
Want to live
Take it all in
Can't feel the floor, long way to fly
And i am waiting
Yeah
Yeah
Go higher
Elevate the state i'm in
Go higher
Remind myself i'm breathing




I want to feel again
I want to live, take it all in
