Ascension
Julian Cruz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I fell in love before)
(I fell in love before)

Remain comfortable and I'm posted in your thoughts
See you, got you thinking, contemplating what you know
Know the feeling's good and you want to leave the spot
With us, with us
So lets roll, lets roll, lets roll
Have fun
We out, we outta here with no care
There's no more fear
Lets roll, lets roll, lets roll
Have fun
We out, we outta here with no care
There's no more fear

Dancing in, your red heels
You are about, whatever lady
Watch as smoke blow out your mouth
Your smoke is so amazing
She rolling another
We ain't finished blazing
She's Haitian and Asian
Smokes on occasion
Well I guess I'm the occasion
Said its only occasion
Watch me every day and
Every three seconds
My time is so priceless
For now, I might just

We see, what we see
When in love
Making, making, making, making love
In love, in love, in love




This love, this love, this love
Oh

Overall Meaning

In "Ascension" by Julian Cruz, the first two lines of the song are "I fell in love before, I fell in love before." It's a declaration of experiences with love in the past, maybe painful or exhilarating, that have brought the singer to their present state. The rest of the song speaks about being with someone in a comfortable and contemplative space. The singer is confident that their company is making the other person think and feel good, which leads them to want to leave the spot and have fun. The song then transitions to them rolling, which could mean physically driving away or going with the flow, enjoying the moment without worry or fear. The intimacy between two people is described through dancing, smoking, and making love, which is both passionate and tender.


The tone of the song is very chill, with talk-singing and a beat reminiscent of R&B music. The song's lyrics are straightforward yet poetic, creating a dreamy atmosphere where nothing else exists besides the two lovers. The theme of freedom is also present, as the lines "We out, we outta here with no care, there's no more fear" suggests a release from the anxieties that may have been haunting them before. Overall, "Ascension" is a song about being present in the moment, enjoying the company of someone special, and letting go of anything that might hinder that experience.
