Lift Me Up
Chris Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta get out of the way
Before it all comes down
Before it all comes down
Crumbling down
Crumbling down
Fallin down on me
Don't go, crumbling down
Crumbling down
Fallin' down on me
Lift me up where angels fly
Raise me up
Where stars collide
And go bursting into flames
Burst me into flames
I just want to break into you
Tear me down beneath myself
Bring me down where you reside
Where you love me endlessly
Where you love me endlessly
I just wanna fall into you
I gotta get into your place
I gotta get into your ways
Before it all comes down
Before it all comes down
Crumbling down
Crumbling down
Fallin down on me
Don't go, crumbling down
Crumbling down
Crumbling down
Fallin' down on me
I gotta get past myself
I gotta get past myself
To find out who you are
I know there's gotta be more
I know there's so much more
So won't you lift me up
Where angels fly
The lyrics of Chris Taylor's song Lift Me Up seem to reflect on the need for emotional or spiritual ascent. The lyrics imply that the singer is facing a personal crisis that may lead to his downfall if he does not find a way out. He, therefore, seeks to break away from his past by distancing himself from his present location to escape the oncoming catastrophe. The lyrics express his desire to escape from the chaos and burden of his present reality and be elevated to greater heights.
He pleads for an encounter with a supreme being or force that will raise him up to a realm of pure joy, contentment, and freedom. His desires for an unusual transformation that will enable him to break into this divine presence, tear down all existing barriers, and merge with the object of his desire. He desires intimacy, an intense and loving relationship with this force that transcends all known human emotions.
Chris Taylor's Lift Me Up could be interpreted as a metaphor for our search for love, meaning, and inner peace in a world that often seems chaotic, hostile, and impersonal. The lyrics suggest that there is more to life than what we experience in our present reality, and we are pilgrims on a journey to a higher domain, where we can transcend the limitation of our human experience.
