XS DISCHARGE consisted of Paddy and Charles “Chik” Doherty, twin brother offspring of Irish immigrants who had settled in the Elderslie district of Paisley, on guitar/bass, plus various stand-in/pick-up drummers. The twins began playing music in the early 1970s, mainly old Irish rebel songs and then Bowie and Alex Harvey covers in various half-hearted outfits like Zenith, Phoenix, and Lonely Road.

Lifted
X-S Discharge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me somewhere new
I need to see you’re here
Take me higher
I need to feel you here
Take me somewhere new
I need to see you’re here
Take me higher
And sometimes I can’t see
Take me higher, take me higher
Place me under eagle wings
Take control of me
Take me higher, take me higher
See my hands are lifted high
They’re lifted high
Take me higher, take me higher
Write your name across the sky
Across the sky
Take me higher, take me higher
(Take me higher, take me higher)
The lyrics to X-S Discharge's song Lifted express a longing for a deeper connection with someone or something greater. The repetition of the phrases "I need to feel you here" and "take me higher" evokes a sense of yearning and desire. The singer acknowledges their own limitations, recognizing that they have not been around for long and sometimes struggle to see clearly. The imagery of being placed under eagle wings and having someone or something take control of them suggests a surrendering of control and a willingness to be guided towards a higher purpose.
The phrase "see my hands are lifted high" can be interpreted as a physical manifestation of the singer's desire to be lifted higher, as well as a symbol of surrender and supplication. The final call to "write your name across the sky" is a powerful image of leaving a lasting impression on the world and being a part of something greater than oneself.
Overall, the lyrics to Lifted convey a sense of longing for something greater, a desire to be lifted out of oneself and connected to a higher purpose. The use of imagery and repetition reinforce this theme and create a powerful emotional resonance.

I need to feel you here
I require your physical presence
Take me somewhere new
Transport me to an entirely different location
I need to see you’re here
I need visual confirmation of your existence
Take me higher
Elevate me to a greater level
I’ve not been around for long
I'm relatively new to this world
And sometimes I can’t see
Occasionally, I'm unable to perceive things clearly
Place me under eagle wings
Place me under the protection of strong and powerful wings
Take control of me
Take full command of my being
See my hands are lifted high
Observe my hands raised upward
They’re lifted high
They're raised up high
Write your name across the sky
Inscribe your name across the vast expanse of the sky
Take me higher
Elevate me to a greater level
(Take me higher, take me higher)
Repeating the request to be elevated to a higher level
