Lift Me Up
Moby feat. Laura Dawn Lyrics

Plain talking (plain talking)
Clear communication and honesty (plain talking)

Take us so far (take us so far)
Has its limitations, only able to take us so far (take us so far)

Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Metaphor for dilapidated and struggling lives (broken down cars)

Like strung out old stars (like strung out old stars)
Further emphasizing the struggles and hardships of these lives, like stars that have lost their shine (like strung out old stars)

Served us so well (served us so well)
Plain talking was effective and helpful in the past (served us so well)

We traveled through hell (traveled through hell)
Through those hard times, we persevered through struggles (traveled through hell)

Know how we felt (oh how we felt)
Plain talking understood our struggles and feelings (know how we felt)

Lift me up, lift me up, Higher now ama
Request for help and guidance to rise above struggles (lift me up, lift me up, higher now)

Making us bold (making us bold)
Plain talking instilled confidence in us (making us bold)

So strung out and cold (strung out and cold)
Despite this confidence, we still feel overwhelmed (so strung out and cold)

I'm feeling so old (feeling so old)
Metaphor for feeling weathered and worn down by life (I'm feeling so old)

Has ruined us now (ruined us now)
Plain talking is no longer effective in our current situation (has ruined us now)

You never know how (you never know how)
Impossible to truly understand the struggles of others (you never know how)

Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)
Being self-righteous or morally superior is not helpful (sweeter than thou)

Oh la la la la
