In this track, Franz Ferdinand explores themes of constant change and the elusive nature of resolution. The lyrics suggest a journey that perpetually climbs without ever reaching a definitive end, symbolizing life's ongoing challenges and the human desire to find meaning. The repeated phrase "always ascending" captures a feeling of infinite progress, while the acknowledgment that things are "never going to resolve" reflects a resignation to life's inherent uncertainties. The imagery of natural elements like rain and clouds personifies emotions, adding depth to the narrative of moving forward despite not always understanding where one is headed. This song resonates as an anthem for those who feel caught in the cycle of striving and searching for clarity.
Always Ascending
Lyrics
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Don't be concerned
It's just the way that gravity works 'round here
All slowly rising, falling patiently
Feel no, feel no fear
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper "We'll miss you"
But go
Let go
Always and always and always ascending
Opening line leaves an uncertain ending
Always and always and always ascending
The chords seem to pause
But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Ah talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Yeah talk to me
Talk to me
Ah
And wake me up
C'mon wake me up
Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
We can ascend
From this arrangement
We can see fate
As entertainment
Bring me a cup
But bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Always and always and always ascending
The Shepard misleads so you think you're transcending
Always and always and always ascending
Pause the progression
But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
Ah talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Now talk to me
Talk to me
Ah, oh
Then wake me up
C'mon wake me up
Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
And bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Yeah, bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water, yeah
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper "we'll miss you"
But go
Let go
