The Original High
Chasing the Ultimate Thrill: Adam Lambert's Quest
Lyrics
I got the need for speedin' on a hot night
I have a strong desire for speed on a hot night
Pushing 150, just to get a rise
Driving at 150 mph just to provoke a reaction
There's no comfort in comfort, I need the edge
Comfort is not satisfying; the speaker craves excitement
But the edge keeps drifting, it's all in my head
The excitement (edge) is elusive and exists in the mind
Oh, remember back in Hollywood
Reflecting on a past experience in Hollywood
The medication flowing through my veins was you
The speaker felt medicated by a person in Hollywood
Yeah, the summer back in Hollywood
Recalling a summer in Hollywood
The medication, medication
Repeating the impact of medication
Just let me feel the rush like the first night
Desire to experience the thrill like the first night
Wanna breathe it out 'cause I'm going out my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to release it
Gotta feel the touch like the first time
Seeking the touch and intensity of the first time
'Cause I'm chasing the original high
Persistently pursuing the original high
Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-I'm tryna to buy a fix but there ain't no price
Attempting to find a solution despite its unavailability
I try to feed the hunger that keeps me up at night
Trying to satisfy a persistent hunger at night
We were on a trip, tryna replicate
Recreating a past experience or feeling
But the highs I hit just ain't doin it for me
Current experiences fail to match past highs
Oh, remember back in Hollywood
Revisiting memories of Hollywood
The medication flowing through my veins was you
The person in Hollywood served as a source of medication
Yeah, the summer back in Hollywood
Nostalgic recall of a summer in Hollywood
The medication, medication
Emphasizing the impact of medication
Just let me feel the rush like the first night
Yearning for the rush similar to the first night
Wanna breathe it out 'cause I'm going out my mind
Expressing a need to release overwhelming feelings
Gotta feel the touch like the first time
Craving the touch as if it were the first time
'Cause I'm chasing the original high
Continuing the pursuit of the original high
Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-(Yeah-eah-eah)
Adding emphasis to the preceding lines
(Oh) summertime, it stays on my mind
Summertime symbolizes a memorable and alive period
'Cause you and me are alive inside
-Summertime is stuck on my mind
-Oh, summertime it stays on my mind
Reiteration of the enduring impact of summertime
'Cause you and me never die inside
-Summertime is stuck on my mind
-(High) chasing the original high
Emphasizing the pursuit of the original high
High, high, high, high
Expressing a heightened state of being
So high, yeah
-Just let me feel the rush like the first night
Repeating the desire for the initial rush and touch
Wanna breathe it out 'cause I'm going out my mind
-Gotta feel the touch like the first time
-'Cause I'm chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
Persistently chasing the original high
Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
-Chasing the original high
