Lift Us Up
Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though the war in light is fallin'
I'm an awesome dreamer
In a mirror light of star far galaxy
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
People don't you wonder
How the lord has brought you under
And demons light I'm dreaming
To the nakedness of sleeping
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift it up
Above the light
It was the wonder of my life
And the creature form of superwolf
Will leave you eye to eye
And when I wrap around you
Ain't it wonderful I found you
And god in all his stature
In his nakedness desert
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
The first verse of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Matt Sweeney's song "Lift Us Up" establishes a sense of intimacy and closeness between the two people in the relationship. The singer asks his partner to lean into him, acknowledging that the world around them is dwindling and fading away, but with each other, they can escape into their own dreams and hopes. He refers to himself as an "awesome dreamer" and contrasts their love to a "mirror light of star far galaxy". The use of the word "mirror" is significant as it reflects back on their relationship, highlighting the idea that they share a deep, meaningful connection.
The chorus repeats the phrase "lift us up" multiple times, almost as if the repetition is a mantra for them to keep hope alive and keep pushing through the darkness. The second verse explores the idea of religion, as the singer ponders how the "lord" has brought them together and how even in their dreams, they are still dealing with demons. He then repeats the chorus to emphasize the need for lifting up and finding hope, even in the darkest of places.
The final verse concludes the song, with the singer suggesting that he has found a kind of paradise with his lover. He describes wrapping around her as "wonderful" and finding "god in all his stature". The final "lift us up" repeats, emphasizing the message that they must cling to each other and stay uplifted even as chaos swirls around them.

Lean into me darling
Come closer to me, my love.
Though the war in light is fallin'
Even though times are tough and darkness looms.
I'm an awesome dreamer
I have great aspirations and imagination.
In a mirror light of star far galaxy
In the reflection of a starry, distant universe.
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
I want to raise us higher and higher.
People don't you wonder
Have you ever thought?
How the lord has brought you under
How fate has led you here.
And demons light I'm dreaming
In a glimmer of demonic temptation, I dream.
To the nakedness of sleeping
To the simplicity of rest.
Lift it up
Elevate it.
Above the light
Higher than the brilliance of day.
It was the wonder of my life
It was the most marvelous thing I've experienced.
And the creature form of superwolf
And the mythical figure known as a superwolf.
Will leave you eye to eye
Will bring us face to face.
And when I wrap around you
When I embrace you.
Ain't it wonderful I found you
Isn't it amazing that I discovered you.
And god in all his stature
And the divine in all its grandeur.
In his nakedness desert
In the barrenness of its essence.
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
I want to raise us higher and higher.
Oh and I
Lift us up
Lift us up
Lift us up
I want to raise us higher and higher.

I found this song on an old tape today, and it literally blew my mind, I guess I taped around 2005 (I still use tape now) Is there another version of this? This sounds so much clearer and I didn't hear the organ on the taped version I have
