Elevation
Randy Bush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loneliness leads me to a place
Thousand-years-away near
Can you tell me what to do to stay?

Just give me some direction
And I am a certain disconnection
Tell me why what to say, when I'd pray
Might cast alongs beside you could't
Stars go round and round to bring me go
Just give me some direction
And I am a certain disconnection
Tell me why what to say, when I'd pray

I was your wife
But in another life
Please grant me this
Just keep this promisse:

Give now to me inspiration
Just keep this promisse:
Give now to me elevation
Just keep this promisse

Loneliness leads me to a place
Thousand-years-away near
Can you tell me what to do to stay?
Just give me some direction
And I am a certain disconnection
Tell me why what to say, when I'd pray

Stars go round and round, baby I've found
In another life I would be your wife
Give now to me inspiration please
Give now to me elevation please

Give me some direction
Now you do protection
And will do connection
Now will get affection
Tell me what to say
When I gonna pray
Tell me what to do
And I'll be with you

I was your wife
But in another life
Please grant me this
Just keep this promisse:

Give now to me inspiration
Just keep this promisse:




Give now to me elevation
Just keep this promisse

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Randy Bush's song "Elevation" are deeply personal and introspective, exploring themes of loneliness and the search for inspiration and guidance. The opening lines speak volumes about the singer's emotional state, as they reveal that loneliness has taken them to a place that is "thousand-years-away near." This juxtaposition of distance and proximity creates a sense of disorientation and confusion, underscoring the singer's feelings of isolation and disconnection from the world around them.


As the song progresses, the singer implores someone, perhaps a higher power or a loved one, for direction and guidance. They acknowledge their own disconnection, but express a desire for inspiration and elevation. The repeated refrain, "just keep this promise," suggests that the singer may have been disappointed or let down in the past, but they are still seeking hope and reassurance.


The final lines of the song are particularly poignant, as the singer repeats the refrain "I was your wife / but in another life." This could be interpreted as a reference to past lives or alternate realities, but it is also a deeply personal and emotional image, suggesting the singer's longing for a deeper connection with someone they feel they have lost. Overall, "Elevation" is a powerful and introspective exploration of the human experience of loneliness and the search for hope and inspiration.
