Sort It Out
Elovay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
L.a. Has become my home
I feel the pressure everyday
It's let down and I question my stay
A staircase or a doorway through
The latter has the nicest view
Would I be happy if I got there today
Oh mate, I feel your pain
I really do
And I feel the same
This is right here
But you signed a form
You'll sort it out
To sort it out
Sort it out
In the end it will work out
But when does that become right now
I'm craving validation and me
The voice in my head tells me
Oh mate, I feel your pain
I really do
And I feel the same
This is right here
But you signed a form
You'll sort it out, to sort it out
(I just want to know what's going on)
(I just want to know what's going on)
(I just want to know what's going on)
(I just want to know what's going on)
Now mate, I feel your pain
I really do
And I feel the same
This is right here
But you signed a form
You'll sort it out, to sort it
Mate, I feel your pain
I really do
And I feel the same
This is right here
But you signed a form
You'll sort it out
(Sort it out)
Mate, I feel your pain
(Sort it out)
And I feel the same
(Sort it out)
Mate, I feel your pain
(Sort it out)
And I feel the same
(Sort it out)

While Melbourne is their hometown, Los Angeles has become their new place of residence. The pressure and stress of adapting to a new environment has become overwhelming for the singer.

The singer questions their own perception of success and whether they would be happy if they achieved that goal today. The bridge of the song features someone acknowledging the singer's pain and offering hope that they will sort things out. The repetition of the phrase "sort it out" in the chorus highlights the idea that problems can be resolved with time and effort; it's just a matter of working through the obstacles that stand in the way.
