Elevator
Nicholls Sheila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And choosing to be full
I'm on a boat, I'm in a lake, I'm with the water I see the trees
I'm with the sun I see the moon I touch the sky
And I'm with you
I'm with you
And how long would it take
Five stories under debris
You and me in the garden indefinitely
After 10 hours were thinking about food
We lost our voices from shouting, and screaming
And crying and singing and being really crude
My tummy rumbles but theres' no guitar so we have sex instead and we go so far
And we do that for days til we're knee deep in cum
Dehydrated , exhausted, insane aquarium
I'm with you... I am with you
And how long would it take
If we were trapped in an elevator after the earthquake
Five stories under debre
You and me in the garden indefinitely
And I remember the hunger from the last time, still hear I remember the hunger
And I remember the hunger from the last time, still hear I remember the hunger
This could go one of two ways
Hollywood rescue or bodies and boques
Found after 3 months
Smiling and bloated
The colors were great the smells they were quoted
And I'm with you ... I am with you
I'm with you ...
So I'm am full
I'm choosing to be full
The song Elevator by Nicholls Sheila is a vividly depicted love song comprising of two verses and a chorus. The first verse describes the singer's feeling of fullness, a sense of fulfillment and contentment with life. The second line of the verse "Choosing to be full" conveys the singer's choice of happiness, suggesting an active decision to live positively. The next few lines of the verse set the scene of the singer's idyllic surroundings - on a boat, in a lake, amidst nature, with the sun, moon, and sky. However, it's the final line "And I'm with you" that evokes a profound sense of connection, companionship and love.
The second verse takes an apocalyptic tone, imagining a calamitous scenario where the singer and their lover are trapped in an elevator after an earthquake, five stories underground. The subsequent lines almost function like a thought experiment, predicting the lovers' reactions, their inevitable hunger, their exhaustion, their sexuality and their ultimate fate. However, despite this potentially tragic situation, the singer repeats the line, "I'm with you" serving as an affirmation of their love and resilience.
Overall, Elevator is a song with a buoyant and yet foreboding sentiment, juxtaposing feelings of fullness with the haunting vision of being trapped indefinitely. Its strength lies in its ability to convey a deep sense of love and connection even in the darkest of situations.
