Lifted
Parabelle Lyrics

there's a sweet reluctant symphony in your head
There's an inner voice in your mind that you're hesitant to acknowledge or express.

a cold start is better served it makes you shut your mouth
A new beginning is best when it forces you to stop talking and listen to your inner voice.

(I’ve been lifted)
I've been released from the negative influence of others and I'm now able to see things clearly.

if moderation was the cause then you'd say it's the reason
If you're trying to find a culprit for your problems, you might blame your efforts to control your behavior or your impulses.

but I'd say it's the reason I remember you at all
However, I think that your moderation is what made you stand out to me and I appreciate it.

and I won't stay on the ground it keeps my options open
I refuse to be held back by anyone or anything, so I'll keep moving and exploring my possibilities.

I look for signs you've weakened
I observe your behavior and interactions to see if you've become vulnerable or less guarded.

I see the signs you're beaten something I would not know of
I recognize indications that you're struggling or defeated, but I don't have personal experience with that kind of pain.

do you want to fight
Are you willing to engage in a confrontation or conflict?

who'll raise their fists tonight
Who will be the one to physically fight and defend their beliefs or opinions?

who'll praise their fallen savior with heads held high
Who will applaud and admire someone who has sacrificed themselves for a cause, even if it leads to their downfall?

now when a simple blessing becomes a sacrifice
When something good or positive turns into a difficult or unpleasant experience, it can feel like a burden or price to pay.

you can sell our souls to devils to wet their appetites
You're willing to sacrifice your morals or values in order to please others or gain something in return.

there's a hell of a lot more than you think I know
I have a lot more knowledge or understanding than you realize.

I know a hell of a lot more than you think I know
I'm aware of information or insights that you haven't considered or acknowledged.

and when the ground doesn’t give away
Even when things seem stable and secure,

just use your rights to bury me
You'll still try to use your power or influence to silence me or put me down.

because you always say that there's always
You tend to believe that there's an underlying pattern or motivation to everything that happens.

a sweet reluctant symphony
An inner voice or intuition that is hesitant or reluctant to be heard, but still guides you.

it lets you shut your mouth and still defy me
Your reluctance to speak up or assert yourself may make me think I've won, but you're still defying my expectations and assumptions.

there's no way to remember this, I've been lifted
I won't forget this experience, because it has allowed me to be set free from negative influences or perspectives.

she screams I can't waste tomorrow

I've done everything you wanted
