Lyrics

I closed my eyes, opened up my eyes

I experienced a moment of introspection, shutting my eyes and then reopening them.

That made me close my eyes so then I opened my eyes

This act of closing and opening my eyes prompted a deeper reflection.

Like living in a dream

Comparing the experience to living in a dream, suggesting a surreal or disconnected feeling.

As long as I stay closed like that

Staying closed or withdrawn seems necessary for self-preservation.

Secretive to stay intact

Maintaining secrecy is essential for self-preservation and integrity.

Well that is not fun

Expressing dissatisfaction with a closed and secretive approach to life.

That's why I couldn't trust anyone at all

Lack of trust in others due to a guarded and closed-off mindset.


And I got high-high-high-high-high-high

Experiencing a state of emotional or mental elevation.

And I got low-low-low-low-low-low

Feeling emotionally or mentally down.

So I got high-high-high-high-high-high

Repeating the cycle of emotional highs and lows.


I was bright as the sun

Describing a period of brightness and positivity in life.

Then Saskatchewan

Referencing Saskatchewan, possibly a metaphor for a less positive experience or location.

Then I laid low like a tide

Choosing to remain low-key or hidden like a tide.

Then Bay of Fundy high

Experiencing a high point comparable to the Bay of Fundy, known for extreme tides.

I was living in extremes

Living in extremes, possibly signifying a turbulent and unpredictable life.

And everything that that means

Alluding to the challenges and consequences of living in extremes.


And I got high-high-high-high-high-high

Repeating the pattern of emotional highs.

And I got low-low-low-low-low-low

Repeating the pattern of emotional lows.

So I got high-high-high-high-high-high

Continuing the cycle of emotional highs.

And I got low-low-low-low-low-low

Continuing the cycle of emotional lows.


Get not high

Emphasizing the idea of avoiding extremes, suggesting a preference for balance and independence in decision-making.

I can't tell or be told where to go

I can't tell or be told where to go

I can't tell or be told where to go
