There's a place, I come out
See the lights on the town
I'm looking down
Yeah the moon is out tonight
Turn around look up see it smile
Feel the wind in your hair
I'll take you there
Lift me up, when I needed a friend
Lift me up when I'm close to the edge
''cause it'll all come round in the end
And I'll lift you up when you need a friend
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
I've been down
I've been out of my mind
I was there and I know what it's like
Like the fool on the hill
I'm standing still
So come with me to my hideaway
Lay you down in my arms again
Feel the wind in your hair
I'll take you there
(CHORUS)
You lift me up, when I needed a friend
Lift me up, when I'm close to the end
''cause it'll all come round in the end
And I'll lift you up, when you need a friend
So come with me to my hideaway
Lay you down in my arms again
Feel the wind in your hair
I'll take you there
(CHORUS)
You lift me up, when I needed a friend
Lift me up, when I'm close to the end
''cause it'll all come round in the end
And I'll lift you up, when you need a friend
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
Lift me up bada-baduh bada-baduh
You lift me up, when I needed a friend
Lift me up, when I'm close to the end
''cause it'll all come round in the end
And I'll lift you up, when you need a friend
You Lift me up
Lift me up
''cause it all comes round in the end
And I'll lift you up when you need a friend
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
''cause it all comes round in the end
And I'll lift you up when you need a friend
Lift me up
The lyrics to Reel's "Lift Me Up" describe a sense of loneliness and isolation, with the singer seeking solace and companionship in another person. The opening lines set the scene in the darkness of the night, with the singer observing the lights of the town from a distance. The moon is out, and the wind is blowing, creating a sense of melancholy and perhaps even desperation. The chorus is a plea for help, with the singer asking to be lifted up when they are feeling lost or overwhelmed. The verses describe the singer's own experiences with feeling down and out of their mind, but also their willingness to offer help and support to others who need it. The final repetition of the chorus drives home the message that we all need each other and that, in the end, we will lift each other up.
Overall, "Lift Me Up" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the human need for connection and understanding. It acknowledges the difficulties and hardships we all face in life but offers hope by reminding us that we can always turn to others for support when we need it most.

In the still of the dark of the night
During a quiet and dark moment at night
There's a place, I come out
I find myself outside
See the lights on the town
Observe the lights illuminating the city
I'm looking down
I gaze downward
Yeah the moon is out tonight
The moon is visible in the night sky
Turn around look up see it smile
Rotate and gaze upwards to see the moon's lovely appearance
Feel the wind in your hair
Sense the wind moving through your hair
I'll take you there
I will guide you to this experience
Lift me up, when I needed a friend
Assist me when I feel alone
Lift me up when I'm close to the edge
Help me when I'm on the brink of something difficult
''cause it'll all come round in the end
Because things will eventually work out
And I'll lift you up when you need a friend
I will return the favor when you require assistance
I've been down
I have faced challenging circumstances
I've been out of my mind
I have been mentally overwhelmed
I was there and I know what it's like
I have experienced similar situations before
Like the fool on the hill
Similar to 'The Fool' archetype in traditional tarot cards
I'm standing still
I am motionless
So come with me to my hideaway
Join me at my secluded retreat
Lay you down in my arms again
Hold you comfortably and closely once more
You lift me up, when I needed a friend
You support me when I require companionship
Lift me up, when I'm close to the end
Assist me when I'm approaching a difficult situation
You lift me up, when you need a friend
You give me assistance when you require companionship
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
Assist me (musical filler)
''cause it all comes round in the end
Because everything eventually works out
And I'll lift you up when you need a friend
I will assist you when you require companionship
Lift me up
Support me
You lift me up (bada-baduh bada-baduh)
You assist me (musical filler)
