The Lifting

Interprete: REM
Disco: Reveal

Letra de la canción:

Grounded, 5 a.m.

The nightlite is comforting,

But gravity is holding you

Once settled into sleep

You have watched, on repeat,

The story of your life

Across the ceiling;

And in review,

(chorus)

You've said the air was singing

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen

"Good morning, and how are you?

The weather's fine, the sky is blue-

It's perfect for our seminar..."

"Now close your eyes,

And start to breathe

Allow the noise to recede...

...Allow yourself to drift and fly away"

But you just stay

You've said the air was singing,

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen, never dreamed

Did you hear these voices?

Did you hear these voices calling?

Did you hear these voices calling you?

Locked into a conference room,

"We're only what our minds assume..."

And rationale is leaving you

This conceit, these systems of belief,

Your counselor agrees,

"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."

And with relief

You've said the air was singing,

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen, never heard,

Never dreamed

You've said the air was singing,

It's calling you, you don't believe

These things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed

(repeat chorus)

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never, never, never

Never

Once you had a dream

Of oceans, and sunken cities;

Memories of things you've never known

And you have never known
