Lift Off
Luboku Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faced with all this noise
Wasting all my breath on
The things I'll never know.
If I stood,
Beyond everyone
This time,
Forget everything
Rewire
Don't fake what you can't be, don't say what you don't mean,
I know that, you keep holding on
Don't fear what I can't see, based on my reality
I need that, to keep holding on
I can fight it off, now
I'm taken with the war.
Sleight of hand awake, now
When I wasted my voice
It's no good,
This time,
And I should
Forget everything
Rewire
Don't fake what you can't be, don't say what you don't mean,
I know that, you keep holding on
Don't fear what I can't see, based on my reality
I need that, to keep holding on
In "Lift Off," Luboku uses evocative metaphorical language to explore themes of self-discovery, identity, and personal transformation. The opening lines, "I can light it up, now/Faced with all this noise/Wasting all my breath on/The things I'll never know," suggest a desire to rise above the distractions and confusion of everyday life and find clarity and purpose, even in the midst of chaos. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer declaring, "I can fight it off, now/I'm taken with the war/Sleight of hand awake, now/When I wasted my voice." Here, the idea of being taken in by a war or struggle could be interpreted as a symbol of the internal conflict between the parts of oneself that are in opposition.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "Don't fake what you can't be, don't say what you don't mean/I know that, you keep holding on/Don't fear what I can't see, based on my reality/I need that, to keep holding on," reinforces the idea of authenticity and honesty in one's personal relationships and interactions. The use of the phrase "based on my reality" suggests that each individual has their own unique perspective and experience of the world, and that it's important to acknowledge and respect these differences.
Overall, "Lift Off" is a song that encourages listeners to embrace their true selves, let go of negative patterns and behaviors, and find strength in their unique perspectives and experiences.
