Elevation
The Open Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're all alone in this life
Heading out on the path you chose
We know no-one
Realise you're on your own

And you're going nowhere
If you're talking to yourself
And you're going nowhere

You and me girl
Make the weather change, make us feel again
Elevation

We're on the road to nothing
There's no escape from the path you chose
There is still hope
That you can find what you're looking for

And you're going nowhere
If you're lying to yourself
And you're going nowhere

You and me can
Make the weather change, make us feel again
Elevation

You and me can
Make the weather change, make us feel again
Elevation

And you're going nowhere
If you're talking to yourself
And you're going nowhere

You and me can
Make the weather change, make us feel again
Elevation

You and me can
Make the weather change, make us feel again
Elevation

Overall Meaning

The Open's song "Elevation" is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness and personal responsibility in our own lives. The opening lyrics, "We're all alone in this life, heading out on the path you chose," set the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the importance of our individual choices in determining the course of our lives. The lines "Realize you're on your own, and you're going nowhere if you're talking to yourself," drive home the importance of taking responsibility for our own happiness and success, rather than relying on others or getting lost in self-doubt.


However, amidst the stark reality of our individual journeys, the song also offers a glimmer of hope. The lines "You and me girl, make the weather change, make us feel again, elevation" remind us that though we must navigate our own paths, we don't have to do it alone. Relationships and connections can offer us the support and inspiration we need to elevate ourselves and our lives. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes this message, reminding us that we are capable of creating change in our own lives and that we don't have to stay stuck on a path that's leading us nowhere.

I come back to this song every once In a while. It's always refreshing and has a special place un My heart forever.

It was nothing but a pleasure to discover these lads back in 2004 back when this came out. 18 years later and I still listen to The Silent Hours and Statues all the time, not to mention their wealth of (mostly) excellent b-sides and rarities. For a band so short lived, they sure did manage to pump out a lot of great material, for which I'm eternally thankful.

@leoncebuhar9541

Please my friend, do you post a few songs from Statues album like "we can never say goodbye"?, this is for me, the most beautiful song, but I can't find it, thank you so much!!!!, im from Argentina
