“Be Above It” incorporates an interesting juxtaposition as the opening track to Lonerism. While the looping, fast-paced drums represent one’s eagerness for immediate success, the deliberate pacing of the vocal melodies suggest the reality that it won’t happen overnight. It is the rock star’s mantra...
[Intro repeated throughout]
I gotta be above it
Gotta be above it
Gotta be above it
Gotta be above it
[Verse]
And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I know that I can't let them bring me down
And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd
And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I know that I gotta be above it now
And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd
I know that I gotta be above it now
And I can't let them all just bring me down
[Chorus]
This time I'm just gonna take it
Or I'm never gonna shake it
I'll just close my eyes and make it so that
All those little things don't affect me, now
[Bridge]
Know that I gotta be above it now
And I can't let them all just bring me down
[Chorus]
This time I'm just gonna take it
Or I'm never gonna shake it
I'll just close my eyes and make it so that
All these little things don't affect me now
