Tightrope
LP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're so close to heaven
Eyes shut tight
Just pretend you're like a feather
Flew down the clouds together
But don't look down, not ever
Don't ask why
All this time
You're just tryin' not to lose it
You can always learn to fly
You never do until you do it
Up high in the middle of nowhere
Don't know but you know when you get there
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Take a chance we can dance up in mid-air
Feel so good, I could die, but I don't care
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
(You never know) we're just a step from fearless
Reach out for me my dearest, don't you cry
You don't know, you're almost near it
All this time
You're just tryin' not to lose it
You can always learn to fly
You never do until you do it
Up high in the middle of nowhere
Don't know but you know when you get there
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Take a chance we can dance up in mid-air
Feel so good, I could die, but I don't care
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Oh, you never know
You never know
Oh, oh, you never know
You never know
Up high in the middle of nowhere
Don't know but you know when you get there
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Take a chance we can dance up in mid-air
Feel so good, I could die, but I don't care
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Up high in the middle of nowhere
Don't know but you know when you get there
Walk slow and low on a tightrope
Hope it lasts but you know, you never know
Oh, you never know
You never know
Oh, oh, you never know
You never know
The song "Tightrope" by LP is a motivational song urging the listener to take a chance and experience the unknown, a metaphorical tightrope. The lyrics suggest that the person listening is scared but so close to "heaven" and should pretend they are lightweight and capable of flying. The song describes an image of being up high in the middle of nowhere with no clue where you're going or how you'll get there, but still walking slowly and low on a tightrope, hoping it lasts but knowing that you never know.
As the story progresses, the lyrics reassure the listener not to lose hope and that it's possible to learn to fly if they do it, taking the chance to dance up in mid-air, feeling ecstatic, not fearing death. The song ends with repeating the lines of the chorus, emphasizing once again that walking on the tightrope of life is unpredictable, sometimes scary, but worth trying to experience the adrenaline rush of mid-air freedom.

Besides an amazing voice and talent, a great person. Having worked on this video as one of the executives at the table, I can tell you LP could not have been more gracious and friendly to everyone on set. It was truly a pleasure working on this music video. LP has a new fan in me.
