Load Me Up
Matthew Good Band Lyrics

Picture yourself
Imagine a scenario

Sleeping on a plane
You are in a state of rest while in transit

There's something ticking in the overhead
You are anxious due to an unexpected sound in the compartment above you

And inside your brains
You are feeling mental pressure which is leading to anxiety

There's bodies in the water
You are dreading unpleasant thoughts or memories

And bodies in your basement
You are feeling burdened with emotional baggage

If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant
Pristine places are usually empty, like heaven, because people are not always clean

And hey, are you, are you, are you, are you, you know?
The artist is asking for confirmation from the listener

Hey, are you, are you, are you being careful?
The artist is asking if the listener is cautious

Hey, are you, are you, are you, are you lukewarm?
The artist is asking if the listener is indifferent

Hey, yeah, you are
The singer confirms that the listener is behaving in a certain way

I'm frantic
The artist is feeling overwhelmed with anxiety

So load me up
The singer wants to be given something that will help them feel better (e.g. a drug)

Whatever puts me all the way out
The singer wants to be completely sedated

Picture yourself swimming in an ocean
Imagine a scenario where you are swimming in open water

A million miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
You are feeling very isolated

There's bodies in the water
You are feeling overwhelmed with negative thoughts or memories

Floating all around you
These thoughts or memories are hard to escape

And all of them are talking, and they're comedians
Even your negative thoughts seem to be mocking you

Hey, are you, are you, are you, are you, you know?
The artist is asking for confirmation from the listener

Hey, are you, are you, are you, are you special?
The artist is asking if the listener is unique or different

Hey, are you, are you, are you, are you deformed?
The artist is asking if the listener is flawed or abnormal

Hey, yeah, you are
The singer confirms that the listener is unique or flawed

So load me up
The artist wants to be given something that will help them feel better (e.g. a drug)

This seems so practiced
The singer's desire to be sedated seems to be a common occurrence

Take me and take me, and take me
The singer is begging to be put out of their anxiety

All the way out
The singer wants to be completely sedated

Whatever puts me all the way out
The artist wants to be given something that will help them feel better (e.g. a drug)

Whatever puts me all the way out
The artist wants to be completely sedated

Whatever puts me all the way out
The singer wants to be given something that will help them feel better (e.g. a drug)
