Levitate Lyrics

Cover art for Levitate lyrics by Sleep Token

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.
