Lift
JoJo Lyrics

In these lyrics, JoJo expresses her desire for support and assistance as she navigates through a difficult time in her life. The reference to the bluebird in her window symbolizes a ray of hope or positivity, and JoJo wonders if this bird is aware of her struggles and the reasons behind her actions.

The line "Know I got pretty far, but now I'm back in the dark" suggests that JoJo has made progress in overcoming her challenges in the past, but currently finds herself in a state of uncertainty or darkness. She speculates that the change in circumstances could be due to external factors or a seasonal effect, causing her distress and heartache.

JoJo acknowledges that she has come face to face with her own demons and recognizes that she cannot overcome them on her own. She implores for support and finds herself in need of something or someone to provide the lift or assistance she requires, as she feels incapable of navigating her difficulties independently. This desire for a lift represents her longing for guidance, inspiration, or a fresh perspective.

The second verse continues to depict JoJo's struggles. She mentions meditation and exposure to sunlight (UV on my skin) as potential methods to find peace or solace, but acknowledges that these efforts are not having the desired effect. By writing her own prescription, she metaphorically means attempting to find her own solutions, but realizing they do not effectively address her needs or provide the desired relief.

JoJo reiterates her plea for a lift, emphasizing her need to be in a different place both physically and mentally. She craves a breath of fresh air, a change in her circumstances, and the opportunity for reflection to gain clarity. She recognizes that relying solely on herself is insufficient and asserts that she cannot reach the desired destination on her own.

JoJo emphasizes that something needs to change in her life because living in continuous bad weather, metaphorically representing her negative state of mind or circumstances, is unsustainable. She expresses her desire to improve and acknowledges that she cannot accomplish it without outside support. Through her own experience of seeking help and making progress, she encourages others who may be feeling low to be gentle and compassionate with themselves, implying that seeking assistance is not a sign of weakness, but an important step towards healing and growth.
