Lift
Potf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring myself to say it loud
'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry
That is when it seems
We move in circles day to day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear
Like the other day
I thought you won't be coming back
I came to realize my lackluster dreams
And among the schemes
And all the tricks we try to play
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
When it feels like fear...
The lyrics of Poets of the fall's song Lift reflect the internal struggles and doubts that arise when something significant is left unsaid. The verses express the fear of saying the wrong thing or being misunderstood. The artist feels that they move in circles without ever making any progress or resolution. The lines "Twist the drama of the play to get us by" talks about how we try to manipulate circumstances to avoid the tension and conflict that saying what needs to be said would cause. The artist speaks about feeling lost and aimless, unable to steer their life in any particular direction. Despite these feelings, the artist persists, moving forward even when it feels impossible, suggesting that sometimes the only way to get through a difficult period is to keep moving.
The chorus of the song brings in a new perspective, that of a relationship. The artist talks about the transformative power of love, the way it can lift us out of ourselves and into a new and wondrous place. The imagery of touching the moon in the sky represents the limitless potential and hope that the love of another can bring. The line "where all new wonders will appear" speaks to the sense of possibility and adventure that comes with being fully engaged in a loving relationship.
Overall, the song captures the sense of hopelessness and confusion that comes with being unable to express oneself, but also the transformative power of love that can lift us out of those dark moments and into a brighter future.

Times when I just can't
There are times when I find it hard
Bring myself to say it loud
To speak up and express myself fully
'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry
Afraid that my words might sound wrong or unclear
That is when it seems
At those times it appears that
We move in circles day to day
We go through the same routine day after day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by
We try to make our lives more interesting by adding some drama
And it feels like fear
It evokes a sense of fear
Like I'll disappear
As if I might vanish
Gets so hard to steer
It becomes difficult to navigate
Yet I go on
But I carry on
Do we need debate
Is there a need for discussion
When it seems too late
When it appears that the situation is beyond repair
Like I bleed but wait
As if I'm hurting but holding on
Like nothing's wrong
As if everything is okay
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
You inspire, elevate and make me feel free
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
I feel like I can reach the impossible when I am with you
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
You raise my spirits and allow me to soar
Where all new wonders will appear
Where new and amazing things will unfold
Like the other day
Just the other day
I thought you won't be coming back
I believed that you weren't returning
I came to realize my lackluster dreams
I recognized my unexciting and dull aspirations
And among the schemes
Amidst all the plans and strategies
And all the tricks we try to play
And all the tactics we attempt to execute
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
Only our dreams will have power and go beyond our efforts

Take me higher
(Take my spirit)
(Make it fly)
(Wonders appear)
