Elevated Being
Valiant Hearts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Everywhere and nowhere
All at once

I see the progress laid out in front of me
Where I came from and the end to this odyssey
I hear a voice over yonder, it's calling me
Never know if it's my mind or just a dream

Reduce to an atom, to a molecule
To a state before the world could even fathom you
We divide like a cell splitting itself in two
But you're still a part of me and I'm still a part of you (I'm still a part of you, I'm still a part of you)

I'm still a part of you

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Infinitely, we are nothing
Elevated yet descending

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
No one wants to become nothing
Spirit me away, I'll keep existing

Keep existing
I'll keep existing

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Can't I just be nothing
Without losing everything?
Can't I just be something
Without needing anything?

I see the satellites floating overhead of me
Little lights like a stars, so bright they're blinding me
But my eyes adjust to see what only they can see
That there's life in the depths of all this vacancy
They'll take you to a higher plane and carry you
To a place where dimensions won't inhibit you
We collide and shatter only to reform anew
'Cus you're still a part of me and I'm still a part of you

Oh...
I'm still a part of you

(Tell me) Why do we dig our heels even deeper in
(Why) To the trouble we've already caused?
(Tell me) Why does my skin feel like it's paper thin
(Why) Like I'm floating away from it all
Floating away
Floating away
Floating away
(Floating away) Like I'm floating away from it all
Why does it feel
Like we'll never know (why we're floating away from it all)
Where we're going
Where we're going
Where we're going
Where we're going
I'm starting to think
We'll never know (we'll never know)
How to let go
How to let go
How to let go
How to let go
I'm starting to think
We'll never know

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Everywhere and nowhere
All at once

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
Infinitely, we are nothing
Elevated yet descending

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
No one wants to become nothing
Spirit me away, I'll keep existing

Keep existing

I'm everything and nothing
All at once
I'm everything and nothing
All at once
Ultimately, we are endless
Non-existent, yet relentless

I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once
I'm everywhere and nowhere
All at once




No one wants to become nothing
Spirit me away, I'll keep existing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Elevated Being" by Valiant Hearts explore the concept of existence and identity. The singer expresses a sense of being both everywhere and nowhere at the same time, indicating a feeling of omnipresence and detachment from physical limitations. They reflect on the journey they have undertaken, acknowledging the progress made and the uncertainties that lie ahead. The voice they hear may be their own thoughts or perhaps a message from another realm.


The song delves into the idea of reduction and connection. The singer compares themselves to particles, emphasizing how they are divided and separate, yet still interconnected. There is a recognition that despite the individuality, they remain a part of something bigger. This notion extends to the desire to continue existing, emphasizing the importance of their presence and the reluctance to become nothing.


The lyrics also touch upon the exploration of the universe and the unknown. Satellites and stars symbolize the vastness of the cosmos and the limitless possibilities that exist. The idea of colliding, shattering, and reforming suggests a constant cycle of change and evolution. It reinforces the belief that despite separation and transformation, there is an inherent connection between all things.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of questioning and searching for meaning. The singer wonders why humans hold onto their troubles, why they feel detached from reality, and why it feels like they are floating away from it all. There is a yearning to understand and let go, but a realization that it may be impossible to fully comprehend.


In the end, "Elevated Being" presents a paradoxical portrayal of existence. It suggests that we are both everything and nothing, simultaneously present and absent. It explores the desire to remain existing while acknowledging the transient and elusive nature of our existence.
