Olivia Millerschin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said, "There's a place for you up in the sky and next time we meet I know you'll be shining."
But the forces of gravity, uncertainty, self doubt, they pushed me back down to the ground right where I started.
Oh I wish the wind would just carry me
home, because I don't belong here no.
And I don't want anyone to see me break cuz' I'm held together with string. And lately it's tearing.
And I wonder if I will ever be fine.
Yes, I wonder if I will ever smile again.
Oh I wish the wind would just carry me
home, because I don't belong here no.
Please Lift me, please lift me off of my heavy feet,
till this ground can't be seen, I'm so scared I could scream.
Scream out loud, scream out loud, but you could never tell,
lock it away so well, I don't belong here no.
Oh I wish the wind would just carry me
home, because I don't belong here no
In "Carry Me," Olivia Millerschin sings about feeling lost and out of place in the world. The song begins with a message from someone telling her that there's a place for her in the sky and that she'll be shining the next time they meet. However, despite this encouraging message, she finds herself struggling with the forces of gravity, uncertainty, and self-doubt that push her back to the ground. She wishes for the wind to carry her home because she no longer feels like she belongs where she is.
As the song continues, Olivia expresses her feeling of being lost and fears that she's only just a girl trying to find her place in the world. She's scared of being seen breaking down as she feels like she's only held together with strings that are tearing. She wonders if she'll ever be okay and able to smile again. The chorus repeats, emphasizing her desire to be carried away from where she is because she feels like she doesn't belong there.
The song ends with a plea to be lifted off of her heavy feet until the ground can't be seen. She's so scared that she feels like she could scream, but she doesn't want anyone to know how she feels. She doesn't belong there, and she wishes for the wind to carry her away.
Overall, "Carry Me" speaks to feeling lost and disconnected from the world. It's a poignant reminder that even if we don't feel like we belong where we are, there's a place for us somewhere. The song explores themes of self-doubt, fear, and the desire to be understood and accepted.
