High
Love's Rollercoaster: Unraveling the Emotional High in Arrows in Action's 'High'
Lyrics
Staring at my phone for the fifth time this evening thinkin
Contemplating and waiting for a response on my phone, pondering.
Is she gonna make me call, or make this easy
Uncertain if she will initiate contact or make things uncomplicated.
Got me wondering like which side of the coin I'm gonna get tonight
Wondering which aspect of the relationship (good or bad) will prevail.
It's hell or heaven either way I won't put up a fight
Regardless of the outcome, not resisting or opposing it.
I know she knows she's got me in the palm of her hand, whoa-oh
Acknowledging that she has control over him.
I guess I'm only good enough when she says I am
Feeling valued only when she acknowledges him positively.
She's so sweet
Describing her as sweet.
Only when she needs
Highlighting sweetness only when she requires something.
Somethin from me
Emphasizing her tendency to seek something from him.
I love the way that her halo is hiding her horns
Admiring her dual nature, both angelic and deceptive.
Bringing knives to a pillow fight
Using metaphorical language for conflicts in the relationship.
Just ccause she likes
She enjoys causing emotional pain.
To put me down so low
Being unaware that the pain is intoxicating for him.
But what she don't know is that it gets me high
Secretly finding joy or satisfaction in the emotional turmoil.
High
Reiterating the sensation of being emotionally elevated.
Sometimes you're beggin' me just to spend the day skin to skin
At times, she craves close physical contact.
Next thing I know you show me the door and it's five am
Suddenly being dismissed after intimacy, emphasizing complexity.
Nothing's really worth it if it's only ever easy, right
Valuing challenges and difficulties in a relationship.
Your hell is heaven and I think you're showing me the light
Perceiving her flaws as positive aspects, showing enlightenment.
I know she knows she's got me in the palm of her hand, whoa-oh
Reiteration of her influence over him.
I guess I'm only good enough when she says I am
Self-worth dependent on her validation.
She's so sweet
Reiterating her sweetness, but conditional.
Only when she needs somethin from me
Sweetness emerges only when she has a need.
I love the way that her halo is hiding her horns
Repeating the duality of her nature.
Bringing knives to a pillow fight
Metaphor for intense conflicts, using a seemingly harmless setting.
Just cause she likes
Highlighting her enjoyment of causing emotional distress.
To put me down so low
Unawareness of the emotional impact on him.
But what she don't know is that it gets me high
Reiterating the addictive nature of emotional turmoil.
High
Reaffirming the intoxicating feeling.
Waking up between your legs and reading in between the lines
Intimate moments and deciphering unspoken messages.
You call it torture, I call it paradise
Labeling challenging moments as both torture and paradise.
You tell me to jump, the only question I got left on my mind
Responding obediently to her commands.
Is how high?
Curiosity about the extent of emotional elevation.
She's so sweet
Reiterating her conditional sweetness.
Only when she needs somethin from me
Emphasizing sweetness tied to her needs.
I love the way that her halo is hiding her horns
Recalling the angelic and deceptive qualities.
Bringing knives to a pillow fight
Metaphor for intense conflicts, maintaining a facade of innocence.
Just cause she likes
Enjoying causing emotional pain due to her liking.
To put me down so low
Unawareness of the satisfaction derived from emotional turmoil.
But what she don't know is that it gets me high
Reiteration of the addictive nature of emotional turmoil.
High
Reaffirmation of the intoxicating feeling.
