PullMeUnder
Pipo & Elo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Arrows fly
Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me and
This world is spinning without me and
Every day sends future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling
Gives new meaning to it all
If not today nor yet tomorrow
Then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one
And then my only father's son
As sure as I did ever love him
I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me and
The whole world keeps spinning around me and
All life is future to past
Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is set it right

Dust fills my eyes
Clouds roll by and I roll with them
Centuries cry
Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me
The whole world is spinning inside me
Every day sends future to past
Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
All that I feel is honor and spite
All I can do is set it right

Pull me under
Pull me under
Pull me under I'm not afraid
Living my life too much in the sun
Only until your will is done





Oh that this too,
Too solid flesh would melt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pipo & Elo's PullMeUnder are complex and full of deep philosophical meaning. The song starts with the singer feeling lost in the sky, and as he rolls with the clouds, he contemplates the bigger picture of life. He sees the arrows fly and seas increase and fall again, which is symbolic of the unpredictability and transience of our world.


The chorus of "This world is spinning around me" refers to the perpetual life cycle of the world, which continues to move forward, regardless of our efforts to control it. The singer realizes that every day sends future to past, and every breath we take brings us closer to death.


The second verse talks about how the sparrow falling gives new meaning to everything. It signifies that sometimes it takes a tragic event to make us appreciate life's preciousness fully. The idea of taking seven lives for one and then his father's son shows that he is not afraid to take responsibility, even for the crimes committed by his father's lineage.


The line "All that I feel is honor and spite, and all I can do is set it right" suggests a deep sense of duty from the singer. The chorus of "Pull me under, I'm not afraid" is symbolic of letting go of all fear and embracing life for all it is.
