Levity
State of Being Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Freedom waiting motion where
I'm searching for levity
When will she save me
From drifting down
Still expansion breathes
You're so distant cold
You're so distant cold and old
I want to visualize, I want to be outside
I'm searching for levity
I want to be above, beyond the clouds
I'm searching for levity
I am searching for levity
Larger than life
Knowledge more vast than we know
Or we come from
I am moving on
I want to follow my impulses
To help me figure out
I want to ascend
To the excess outside world about
I want to visualize, inside of velvet skies
I'm searching for levity
I want to touch her light, caress a distant thought
I'm searching for levity
Help me look outside
Will she try to hide
I'm searching for levity
When will she find me
I look
I see nothing
I want to visualize, watch her power rise
I'm searching for levity
I want to see her eyes converge with mine
I'm searching for levity
I'll see beyond the clouds
I'm searching for levity
When will she find me?
"Levity" by State of Being seems to be a song about the search for something that is elusive, the search for a feeling of lightness and freedom that the singer is unable to find in their current state of mind. The song begins with the singer expressing their desire to be free and to escape the confines of their current situation. The singer is searching for levity, the feeling of lightness and buoyancy of spirit that comes with being free. They identify themselves as still in their current state, still expanding breathes, unable to break through the distance and coldness they feel. They express their desire to be outside, where they can visualize, see beyond and ascend. They are looking to be larger than life, to connect with the vast knowledge of the world that lies beyond them.
The lyrics then move on to express the singer's frustration with their inability to find levity. They are searching, but cannot seem to find what they are looking for. They call out to the feeling, asking when it will find them, but they see nothing. The singer then expresses their desire to visualize, to watch her power rise, to see her eyes converge, and to touch her light. They are searching for levity and hope that one day they will find it.
"Levity" is a complex song with multiple layers of meaning. The overall theme seems to be the search for freedom, the desire to escape from a confining situation and the need to find something that is elusive. The song seems to be conveying the message that true freedom comes from within and that to find levity, we need to look beyond our current circumstances and connect with something greater than ourselves.
