Elevate
Virtual Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I am sure you′ll understand.
Without you I couldn't find my light.
I knew the time would come
For you to uncover yourself.
Tonight, for you, here, I listen.
To give you all I've ever had
Beyond the gates of my mind
And free myself from this world.
The moment's come to meet my fate
For me to reach a higher state
To walk outside our memories′ door.
No sun or moon we need to wait
Our distance is a risk to take
Now take my hand and hear my words.
Even if someday
I′d fly away from this land
Forever, my love
I would be closer to you.
Would you be closer to me?
You know there's one way
To free us from crumbling
And bond us again.
It is myself to elevate.
Do not have fear, this won′t be that hard.
But you will stay away from me.
Won't be for long, I′ll keep your heart.
Please, never turn back and leave.
Don't be afraid, don′t lose your faith,
I will not fade, no need to hate,
It's like a breath against the wind,
It's just a state, you′re hurt within.
I know I will, there′s just one chance
Come back to you in the time of a dance
And live forever more.
Even if someday
I'd fly away from this land
Forever, my love
I would be closer to you.
Would you be closer to me?
Bound to each other
Our hearts burn together
And always will, just have faith.
It′s not how
It used to be.
It is harder this time.
Do you wish to stay with me,
Or to forever be free?
Lost and so staggered,
Does this still come to your mind?
Do you think it's a choice?
Into this new world
A bright light awaits me,
But even if distant
I will love no other than you.
It all comes to this
When passion melts fear and pain
We open our eyes
And all is clear.
We will never drift away.
Virtual Symmetry's song Elevate is powerful and reflective, offering a deeply emotional perspective on love and life. The first few lines of the song express how we can never be certain about the right time to do something, but eventually, we will be able to find understanding. The artist then transitions to express how one's light can only be found with the presence of a lover, as they are the true source of inspiration and motivation.
The artist also touches on the truth that one must experience before seeing the light, and he is willing to listen to his lover to help him uncover his true nature. The song then moves into how the artist has reached a level of security in his life where he is willing to give his all to his lover, free himself from the limits of this world, and reach a higher state of being.
Furthermore, the chorus expresses that even if he were to leave her, his love for her would bring him closer to her, and he asks if she would do the same for him. The song then transitions to him asking her to follow him on this journey of elevation even if it is hard and requires her to keep a distance from him. The artist reassures her that her heart is safe with him, and he expresses how they are bound together and their hearts burn together.
In conclusion, the song represents the pain and beauty of life, love, and the need for personal growth. It is an excitingly deep and powerful melody with meaningful and reflective lyrics when analyzed deeply.

You never know when the time is right,
The perfect moment does not have a specific timeline.
But I am sure you'll understand.
I have confidence in your comprehension of our situation.
Without you I couldn't find my light.
You are my beacon in life.
I knew the time would come
I anticipated the moment
For you to uncover yourself.
For you to reveal your true nature.
Tonight, for you, here, I listen.
This evening, I will hear you out.
I've never been this secure in life
My safety has never been guaranteed as much as now.
To give you all I've ever had
To offer you my all.
Beyond the gates of my mind
Outside my imagination.
And free myself from this world.
And detach from this reality.
The moment's come to meet my fate
I am ready to confront my destiny.
For me to reach a higher state
To ascend to a higher level.
To walk outside our memories' door.
To move forward from our shared past.
No sun or moon we need to wait
We do not require the passage of time.
Our distance is a risk to take
Our separation is a gamble worth pursuing.
Now take my hand and hear my words.
Please, listen to my solicitation and grasp my hand.
Even if someday
In the eventuality
I'd fly away from this land
I depart from this place.
Forever, my love
Eternally my beloved
I would be closer to you.
I would still be proximate to your being.
Would you be closer to me?
Would you also draw nearer to me?
You know there's one way
You realize there is only one approach
To free us from crumbling
To liberate ourselves from disintegrating.
And bond us again.
And reestablish our connection.
It is myself to elevate.
To elevate myself out of this situation.
Do not have fear, this won't be that hard.
Do not be anxious, this is not that difficult.
But you will stay away from me.
You will keep your distance from me.
Won't be for long, I'll keep your heart.
It does not have to be permanent, I will safeguard your feelings.
Please, never turn back and leave.
I beg of you, do not give up and depart.
Don't be afraid, don't lose your faith,
Have courage, do not relinquish hope,
I will not fade, no need to hate,
I will endure, there's no reason to feel animosity,
It's like a breath against the wind,
It is akin to blowing air against the wind,
It's just a state, you're hurt within.
It's just a condition you are ailed by.
I know I will, there's just one chance
I know I will succeed, but I only have one opportunity
Come back to you in the time of a dance
I will return to you under celebratory circumstances
And live forevermore.
And subsist eternally.
Bound to each other
Inextricably linked to one another
Our hearts burn together
Our hearts blaze together
And always will, just have faith.
And they forever will, solely have trust.
It's not how
Not in the same vein as it was previously
It used to be.
The situation has changed from its former state.
It is harder this time.
It is more arduous this time around.
Do you wish to stay with me,
Do you desire to remain in my company,
Or to forever be free?
Or would you rather be perpetually independent?
Lost and so staggered,
Disoriented and unsteady,
Does this still come to your mind?
Do you still ponder over this?
Do you think it's a choice?
Do you contemplate it as a decision?
Into this new world
In this novel environment
A bright light awaits me,
A radiant light awaits my arrival,
But even if distant
But even if remote
I will love no other than you.
I will only love you.
It all comes to this
All of it comes down to this,
When passion melts fear and pain
When fervor thaws fear and agony
We open our eyes
We awaken to the truth
And all is clear.
And everything becomes lucid.
We will never drift away.
We will never grow apart.
