Pick Me Up
Clean Cut Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear a clear voice calling me
you've got a way of
spelling it out so perfectly
I fear a nightmare
you've been putting off telling me
then out of nowhere
you find the words to make me see
lose my grip on the truth
I hear your voice cuts like a knife
hits me like a ball from the blue
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can just come along and
just pick me up
over the crowd noise
I hear a loud voice singing
I think it's your voice
to every word I'm clinging
always remember
I'm right here just looking out for you to forever
so I can always count on you
when I lose sight blinded by life
lose my grip on the truth
I hear your voice cuts like a knife
hits me like a ball from the blue
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can come along and
Pick me up
your voice can just come along and
just pick me up
when sky was grey and I lost my way
and you picked me up
when I was weak and I couldn't even eat
and you picked me up
when my hands were shaking the spirit was waken
you picked me up
when I was alone and you gave me home
and you picked me up
your voice can just come along and just
pick me up
your voice can just come along and just
pick me up
your voice can just come along and just
pick me up
your voice can just come along and just pick me up
The song "Pick Me Up" by Clean Cut Kid is about the power of a voice, particularly the voice of someone you trust and love, to pull you out of dark times and moments of despair. The lyrics describe the singer losing their way in life, feeling overwhelmed and blinded by the noise and chaos around them. But in the midst of that confusion, they hear a clear and familiar voice that cuts through all the noise, a voice that provides clarity and guidance. The voice is able to spell out the truth perfectly and helps the singer regain their grip and clarity. The singer recognizes the healing power of this voice as it picks them up, physically and emotionally.
The song has a very optimistic and hopeful tone, which is conveyed through the repetition of the phrase "just pick me up" in the chorus. This phrase is a direct plea to the voice to come and rescue the singer from their pain and confusion. There is also a sense of gratitude towards the voice, as it has helped the singer through difficult times before, and they know they can always count on it to be there for them. This song is about the importance of having someone in your life who can guide you through tough times and provide comfort and clarity.
