Lift Lyrics

Great song. Probably my favourite out of the unrecorded bunch.

It's about a guy (Thom? seeing as adresses himself), who's likening an ordeal about being stuck in a lift to being distant, alienated and serious about life. At the end of the song, he tells himself that today will be the first day of the rest of his days, making a new start, and lightening up in the future.

I guess the lift symbolises being trapped out from society.
