When I Get Low I Get High
Elevating Spirits: Unveiling the Resilience Within 'When I Get Low I Get High'
Lyrics
My fur coat's sold
The speaker has sold their fur coat.
Oh Lord ain't it cold
Expressing the cold weather, emphasizing the need for warmth.
But I'm not gonna holler
Despite the cold, the speaker won't complain.
Cause I've still got a dollar
Optimism in having a dollar despite challenges.
And When I Get Low, woah, I Get High.
The chorus suggests that when feeling low, the speaker turns to getting high, possibly referring to a positive or uplifting state.
My man walked out
The speaker's man has left, and it's considered wrong or unfair.
Now you know that ain't right.
Highlighting the injustice of the man leaving.
He better watch out
A warning to the man who left; there might be consequences if they meet again.
If I meet him tonight.
Implies a potential confrontation if they cross paths.
I said When I Get Low, woah, I Get High.
Reiteration of finding solace in getting high when feeling low.
All this hard luck in this town has found me
The speaker has faced a series of unfortunate events in the town.
Nobody knows how troubles go round and round me.
Expressing how troubles seem to surround and persist.
Oh, I'm all alone
The speaker is lonely and without companionship.
With no one to pet me
Emphasizing the lack of someone to comfort or care for the speaker.
But old rocking chair
The rocking chair won't offer solace; it's metaphorically incapable of replacing human connection.
Ain't never gonna get me
Asserting resilience against succumbing to despair.
Cause When I Get Low, woah, I Get High.
Reaffirmation of finding a way to get high when feeling low.
