Levitate Lyrics
I can lift you up
Your body is mostly blood
Like water, a perfect flood engulfing me again, oh
I can tell you won't remember my cracking bones
The trauma we can't regrow
Just as you leave again, no
Will you levitate
Up where the angels inhabit
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
And we imitate a story of perfect days
A ballad we fabricate as you forget your words again, oh
And is that all you need to merely pretend to be falling in love with me
Forgetting the agony again, oh
Will you levitate
Up where the angels inhabit
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
Will you levitate
Up where my love doesn't matter
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
Will you levitate
Will you levitate
Will you levitate
Your body is mostly blood
Like water, a perfect flood engulfing me again, oh
I can tell you won't remember my cracking bones
The trauma we can't regrow
Just as you leave again, no
Up where the angels inhabit
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
A ballad we fabricate as you forget your words again, oh
And is that all you need to merely pretend to be falling in love with me
Forgetting the agony again, oh
Up where the angels inhabit
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
Will you levitate
Up where my love doesn't matter
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you
Will you levitate
Will you levitate
Will you levitate

This song shows the subject speaking to a loved one who is suffering from Dementia caused by Alzheimers. This is supported by the fact that the album is called "Sundowning" which is a state of confusion occurring in the latter half of the day and is a symptom of such diseases.
The subject says things like "I can tell you won't remember my cracking bones" and "A ballad we fabricate as you forget your words again." It's all summarized into the subject asking their loved one if they will "Levitate" to where they can't reach them, asking if they are metaphorically transcending to a different place and leaving them behind.
