Lift Me
The Bengsons Lyrics

Lift me, please, please, lift me
The singer is asking to be lifted; they are in need of help

Lift me, lift me, please
Reiteration of the first line, emphasizing their need for assistance

The house that she built in her chest has collapsed, it's collapsed
The singer's emotional sanctuary has crumbled and fallen apart

They try to explain, but they can't hear the rest it's collapsed it's collapsed
Others try to understand, but they are unable to fully comprehend the depth of the artist's internal turmoil

She looks down at the ground all the way
The artist is filled with feelings of sadness and despair, reflected in their body language

Lift me, lift me, please
Reiteration of the first two lines, continuing to plead for help

I look at these hands but they couldn't be mine
The singer is overwhelmed by their situation to the point where they don't recognize themselves or their own body

He's looking at my face, the thing in his place
The artist is disconnected from their own self and their physical appearance, feeling as though they are being observed by someone else

So you said okay you understand, but the fog falls away and you'll never land, you'll never land
Others may try to empathize, but they cannot fully comprehend the extent of the artist's experience; they will be left feeling lost and directionless

You're suspended
The artist is experiencing a feeling of being trapped or stuck

You're suspended
Reiteration of the previous line, emphasizing a continued sense of being stuck

In space
The artist is isolated and feeling alone in their struggle

You're suspended in space
Reiteration of the previous two lines, emphasizing the singer's intense feelings of separation from others

There's no air up there
The singer feels as though they are suffocating or struggling to breathe

No no no
Repetition of the previous line, emphasizing the severity of their struggle

There's no air up there
Reiteration of the first line, signaling that the artist feels as though they are drowning

That's good, that's, good
The artist is feeling a sense of relief or release from their pain, despite the challenging conditions

You don't have to breathe
The singer no longer feels the burden or struggle of their own life, and is perhaps able to find a sense of peace despite their circumstances

Please please please please please lift me
Final repetition of the plea for assistance or help from those around them

I'm pulled apart...
The artist is feeling as though their entire being is falling apart, both physically and emotionally

Please please please
Final plea for help and support, signaling the intense need the artist feels for assistance from others
