High
Journey Through Shadows: Unveiling the Deeper Meaning of Guano Apes' 'High'
Lyrics
So hello, how is it been?
Greeting and inquiry about the past
Twentyfive years is still the same
Reflecting on the passage of 25 years with little change
Is it's me the night to take me here
Wondering if the night has a purpose in bringing the speaker here
Run for, holding the door
Running and holding the door, possibly symbolizing a struggle
Apparently I missed
Missed something and facing the risk of falling
And risk to fall
The danger of taking risks, potentially leading to a fall
Nightmare's turned me back
Nightmare turning the speaker back into a vulnerable state
Into a little girl
Regression to a childlike state due to nightmares
Blind me, I fly over some place
Blinded, flying over a place, reminiscent of past freedom
In those days we used to run in hard
Recalling the days of carefree running
Surely sooner clock wakes me up
Being awakened by the clock, marking the passage of time
Your nightmare's seen
Nightmares becoming part of the speaker's existence
And become the part of this existence
Integration of nightmares into the speaker's life
It is not too high
Emphasizing that the challenge is not too high
I can make it
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges
Some things better lead our way
Belief that certain things guide the way
It is not too high
Reiteration that the obstacle is not insurmountable
I can make it
Confident assertion that the speaker can overcome
Wake me
Request to be awakened or alerted
The wind falls, into a wave
Wind falling into a wave, possibly symbolizing turbulence
Shadows calling I'm the ache
Shadows calling, indicating a sense of discomfort
Nightmare's turned me back
Nightmares reverting the speaker to a vulnerable state
Into a little girl
Regression to a childlike state due to nightmares (repeated)
Stop in the mud
Stopping in the mud, unclear circumstances
Try was so clear
Clarity in trying, possibly disrupted
When suddenly
Sudden change in circumstances
And the body starts
The body starting to shiver, a physical reaction to fear
To shiver hold me!
Plea to be held and supported
It is not too high
Emphasizing that the challenge is not too high (repeated)
I can make it
Confidence in overcoming challenges (repeated)
Some things better lead our way
Belief that certain things guide the way (repeated)
It is not too high
Reiteration that the obstacle is not insurmountable (repeated)
So if you
Expression of uncertainty or a conditional statement
So if you
Expression of uncertainty or a conditional statement (repeated)
Hold me
Plea to be held and supported (repeated)
It is not too
Emphasizing that the challenge is not too high (repeated)
Hold me
Plea to be held and supported (repeated)
Hold me down to ground
Plea to be grounded and stabilized
And my body starts
The body starting to shiver, a physical reaction to fear (repeated)
To shiver hold me
Plea to be held and supported (repeated)
If you lie
If lying, flying, or dying, expressing vulnerability
If you fly
Repetition of vulnerable states (flying, dying)
If you die
Reiteration of vulnerability and potential demise
So if you
Expression of uncertainty or a conditional statement
If you
Expression of uncertainty or a conditional statement (repeated)
