Why Am I Only Happy When I'm High
Elevated Emotions: Finding Happiness in High Moments
Lyrics
Well it's a cool summer night and you know I'm high yeah you know I'm high again
Describing a cool summer night while being under the influence of drugs.
I'm too young to feel this old I don't know if I'm gonna make it around the bend
Expressing a sense of premature aging and uncertainty about the future.
Tomorrow's another day but I just don't really feel like waking up
Feeling a lack of motivation to face the upcoming day.
So I'll roll up another one just lay on back and smoke my stuff
Indulging in substance use (smoking) as a coping mechanism.
It's a memories inside my head and I can't even get out of bed cause
Being overwhelmed by memories and struggling to get out of bed.
I don't have the strength to take one step
Expressing physical and emotional weakness, unable to take action.
Prescription pills and alcohol well I try to stand but I just fall
Combining prescription pills and alcohol but facing difficulties in maintaining stability.
My heart it ain't broken no it just left
Clarifying that the heart is not broken but feels abandoned.
So I wave to all my friends as they pass me by
Acknowledging the presence of friends but feeling detached.
And I take another toke
Continuing to use substances to cope with emotions.
Why am I only happy when I'm high
Pondering on the question of happiness only being attainable under the influence.
I woke up I was feeling alone so I made a pot of coffee and got stoned
Describing a lonely morning, using coffee and substances to cope.
Went for a walk to clear my mind as my body it's getting used to things with time
Seeking solace in a walk but acknowledging the challenges of adjusting to life.
My road it's a solo trip but there's some real nice scenery along the way
Metaphorically comparing life's journey to a solo trip with some positive aspects.
Hope I don't end up in the ditch face down you know it's hard to have something to say
Expressing the fear of failure and struggling to communicate.
It's a memories inside my head and I can't even get out of bed cause
Reiterating the difficulty of getting out of bed due to overwhelming memories.
I don't have the strength to take one step
Continuing to emphasize physical and emotional weakness.
Prescription pills and alcohol well I try to stand but I just fall
Describing the challenges of combining prescription pills and alcohol.
My heart it ain't broken no it just left
Repeating that the heart is not broken but feels abandoned.
So I wave to all my friends as they pass me by
Waving to friends but still feeling detached and distant.
And I have another drink
Seeking solace in another drink to cope with emotions.
Why am I only happy when I'm high
Reflecting on the recurring theme of finding happiness only in a state of intoxication.
It's a memories inside my head and I can't even get out of bed cause
Reiterating the struggle of overwhelming memories and lack of strength.
I don't have the strength to give one fuck
Expressing apathy and a lack of emotional investment in certain situations.
Prescription pills and alcohol well I try to stand but I just fall
Describing difficulties in standing and the challenges of substance use.
Joy it ain't a choice no it's just luck
Stating that joy is not a conscious choice but a matter of luck.
So I wave to all my friends saying my goodbyes
Saying farewell to friends, possibly indicating a sense of detachment.
And I shed another tear
Expressing sadness and using substances to cope with emotions.
Why am I only happy when I'm high
Reflecting on the recurring theme of finding happiness only in a state of intoxication.
