Pick Me Up
D.N.D. Feat. Easy Rider Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking for faces
In this crowded world we live in
It's like an oasis in a cloud of sand
That's blown my way
Someone once said
You're a mirage I don't believe
Now I got no more tricks up my sleeve

So pick me up don't let me go
Life can be pure theater show
Trip me up don't let me fall
Till the final curtain call

I find it hard to receive
When I don't know what you're giving
I'm caught up and believe
In a whirlwind that won't recede in
My time is now I don't know why
I don't know
I just want you to stay

And every way in every day
I try to tell you that I love you
And every day in every way
I thought how I can I love you

So pick me up don't let me go
Life can be pure theater show

Trip me up don't let me fall
Till the final curtain call

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of D.N.D.'s song "Pick Me Up" Feat. Easy Rider convey the search for a connection in a crowded and disconnected world. The imagery of "looking for faces" in a "cloud of sand" is a metaphor for seeking a meaningful connection in a world full of distractions and transience. The line "someone once said you're a mirage I don't believe, now I got no more tricks up my sleeve," reflects the idea that the singer has been dismissed as insincere in the past, but now has nothing left to prove and is truly seeking authentic connection.

The chorus emphasizes the need to be "picked up" and supported, both in terms of emotional wellbeing and in navigating the tumultuous currents of life. The reference to life as a "pure theater show" implies a certain sense of detachment or detachment from reality, but also suggests that life is performative and in need of meaningful connections to truly resonate. The repeated line of "trip me up don't let me fall till the final curtain call" reinforces this idea of life as a performance, but also emphasizes the need for relationship and support to make it through.

Overall, "Pick Me Up" expresses a yearning for connection in a disconnected world, and the need for support and love to navigate the challenges of life.

Line by Line Meaning

Looking for faces
Searching for significant connections with people

In this crowded world we live in
Despite the chaos and competition that exists around us

It's like an oasis in a cloud of sand
Discovering a rare and life-sustaining source of refreshment amidst overwhelming difficulty

That's blown my way
That has come to me unexpectedly

Someone once said
Another person had previously explained

You're a mirage I don't believe
They were skeptical of the authenticity of the potential relationship

Now I got no more tricks up my sleeve
Trying to maintain the integrity of their intentions but feeling as though they have no more schemes to facilitate a relationship

So pick me up don't let me go
Begging for emotional support and guidance

Life can be pure theater show
Life can feel like an elaborate production

Trip me up don't let me fall
Asking to be challenged but not abandoned in the process

Till the final curtain call
Until the end of it all

I find it hard to receive
Struggling to accept what is given to them

When I don't know what you're giving
When the motives of the other person are unclear

I'm caught up and believe
Despite this lack of clarity, they are invested and committed

In a whirlwind that won't recede in
Trapped in a relentless cycle of chaos and passion

My time is now I don't know why
Feeling a sense of urgency but not sure of its origin

I don't know
Uncertain about what the future holds

I just want you to stay
Expressing a desire for the other person's presence

And every way in every day
In every possible interaction or moment
