Raise Me Up
Corson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Encore je tombe la chute est longue
Je dors éveillé
Et des lumières sombres éclairent les ombres
Des rêves oubliés
Au loin tu m'appelles les mots se répètent
Lentement, ah
La voix des sirènes m'attire et m'entraîne
Vers le fond

Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light
Raise me up
Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light
Raise me up
Wake me up, wake me up

Encore je plonge ta voix m'inonde
Comment respirer
A contre sens dans l'ambulance
Je te sens tout près
Ta voix me réveille comme un goût de ciel
Sur la peau
Je te suis

Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light
Raise me up
Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light
Raise me up
Wake me up, wake me up

Reste près de moi retiens-moi
Je respire encore
Reste là si je retombe, je retombe

Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light
Raise me up
Come raise me up
Wake me up, take me to the light




Raise me up
Wake me up, wake me up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Corson's song "Raise Me Up" speak of a longing for light and hope in the midst of darkness and despair. The first verse describes the singer's fall and the long descent into darkness, as they feel like they are dreaming while awake. The dark lights only illuminate the shadows of forgotten dreams. However, a distant voice calls out to them, repeating words slowly. The voice of the sirens becomes increasingly alluring, drawing the singer down towards the abyss. The refrain creates a sense of urgency for help, repeating the phrase "come raise me up" as if the singer is reaching out for someone to rescue them. The song seems to depict a distressing state of mind, where the singer is struggling to keep their head above the water and needs someone else to help them.


The second verse reveals that the distant voice from before belongs to someone the singer knows. They are overwhelmed and their voice floods the singer, making it difficult for them to breathe. Even in this overwhelming state, the singer can sense that the voice is nearby. The voice wakes them up like a taste of heaven on their skin, and the singer follows it. The second refrain is more urgent as it pleads for the voice to raise them up, and in turn, the voice becomes a source of hope to the singer.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a need for someone to help the singer out of their dark mental state. It touches on the theme of the possibility of hope and how a simple voice can provide some light in the darkness.
