Levitate

**LEVITATE** was the first Neoni release of 2022, and was released through NCS.

Listen to **LEVITATE**

## Theme

Levitate is about ignoring people's negativity and rising up above it, and not letting others bring you down.

*"General idea behind the song is being in a mindset that no one can tear you down anymore because you have decided your own value. No one can kill your vibe because there's a forcefield around your vibe called confidence, and it is making you float, rising above your haters, you're taking the higher road metaphorically, and you are levitating."*

## Background

* Levitate was announced on January 10, 2022, on Instagram.
* It was the first Neoni solo project to be released on NCS

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sure do like to share your opinions

Talking big like somebody's listening

Nobody's listening

It's all fun and games until it isn't

Toss me out, I'll hit the ignition

Now you're listening

[Pre-Chorus]

Up, up, up and away now (away now)

Smaller and smaller, you fade out (fade out)

Up, up, up and away now (away now)

Yeah

[Chorus]

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

I'm flying high above all your gravity

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

You can say what you want, call me insane

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

Watch me levitate

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

[Verse 2]

Try to paint me like a no name

So sorry but we're not the same

No, we're not the same

Boohoo poor you, please forgive me

'Cause I don't feel any pity

I'm fed up with lies, you wanted my demise

Now you're watching me rise, rise, rise

[Pre-Chorus]

Up, up, up and away now (away now)

Smaller and smaller, you fade out (fade out)

Up, up, up and away now

Yeah

[Chorus]

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

I'm flying high above all your gravity

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

You can say what you want, call me insane

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

Watch me levitate

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

[Breakdown]

Up, up, up and away now (away now, ahh, ahh)

Up, up, up and away now (away now, ahh, ahh)

Up, up, up and away now (away now, ahh, ahh)

Up, up, up and away now (away now, ahh, ahh)

Watch me levitate, watch me levitate

Watch me levitate, watch me levitate, levitate

Watch me levitate, watch me levitate

Watch me levitate, watch me levitate

Watch me levitate

[Chorus]

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

I'm flying high above all your gravity

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

You cannot kill my vibe

No, there's no way

You can say what you want, call me insane

Trying to bring me down but I'll never stay

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

Watch me levitate

Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate

## Section by Section

**"Sure do like to share your opinion, Talking big like somebody's listening, (Nobody's listening)"**

That one person in your life who gives you unsolicited advice when you don't want it, and sometimes they're trying to be helpful, but sometimes you're just like "Do you really need to say that right now? Do not crush my vibe". So you're not listening, you're not paying attention, you don't need to pay attention to those people all the time, and you need to do your own thing

**"It's all fun and games until it isn't, Toss me out, I'll hit the ignition Now you're listening"**

At this point, you've told that person that you don't need them, you haven't only taught them, you've proven it. 'Cause they tossed you out of the rocket ship, and you started flying with a jetpack. And now, they're like "what's going on?" and you're like "ah! ah! ah! You didn't think I was cool, and now I am cool"

**"Up, up, up and away now, Smaller and smaller, you fade out, Up, up, up and away now, Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah"**

The person below you is getting smaller, their opinion is mattering less, all the words that the haters say, they don't matter. They start getting quiet when you leave the atmosphere.   You're up there in space, there's no sound in space, so sound doesn't matter

**"You cannot kill my vibe, no there's no way, I'm flying high above all your gravity, Trying to bring me down, but I'll never stay, Hey! Hey! Watch me levitate"**

So we kept the lyrics in this chorus simple to address what the song is about in 5 lines. This whole vibe is that nobody can mess with you, nobody can bring your vibe down, nobody can make you feel bad any more. You can get so bogged down in what other people's opinions of you are, or other people's opinions of what you're doing or what you're going for in a career path, or just your life path, that your brain feels a little foggy and messy, and you can't really find your true centre anymore, and there's just a point where you decide to block it out, and you just have to do you, or you'll get lost. And once you rise above it, nothing, none of that matters.

**"Try to paint me as a no-name, So sorry, but we're not the same, No, we're not the same"**

Because, the other person is the no-name now, compared to you and your good vibes. Very grandiose line. Sounds a little egotistical, but you just gotta feel confident. Just not feel insecure, you need to have a big head for a hot minute to feel good about yourself because someone's been tearing you down for years and years, you need to throw out some stats.

**"Boohoo poor you, please forgive me, 'Cause i Don't feel any pity, I'm fed up with lies, you wanted my demise, now you're watching me rise, rise, rise"**

This person has been trying to screw you up and make you feel bad, and they're just watching you rise up even though they didn't believe in you, and you're watching them fade out because you are doing your thing, and you are slaying it, and they couldn't stop you. There's people in your life who will tell you that you can't do something, then you'll prove them wrong and do it.

**Up, up, up and away now, Up, up, up and away now, Up, up, up and away now**

Good vibes, for when you need to scream in your car because someone didn't believe in you and your vision.
