Something Higher
Rising Beyond: Langhorne Slim's Journey to Something Higher
Lyrics
Getting closer to something higher
Expressing a progression towards a more elevated or spiritual state.
I won't go sir, not where you say
Defiant refusal to conform to someone else's direction or command.
You can try and make me go slower
Resisting attempts to hinder or delay personal progress.
But I'm already on my way
Already in motion towards a goal, indicating determination and momentum.
Take my hands out of my pockets
Suggesting a willingness to engage actively with the surroundings or challenges.
On my feet there's walking shoes
Preparedness for a journey or undertaking, symbolized by walking shoes.
Once it stats you cannot stop it
Emphasizing the unstoppable nature of a process once initiated.
You will no longer be born to lose
Transformation from a mindset of inevitable failure to one of victory.
You lie to the children
Highlighting deception or dishonesty aimed at the vulnerable or innocent.
You try to steal their voice
Attempting to silence or manipulate the voices of the young or powerless.
In death there might be forgiveness
Speculating on the potential for forgiveness in death, contrasting with life's choices.
But in life there is but a choice
Stressing the significance of choices made during one's lifetime.
There's no time to be patient
Urgency in taking action, discouraging passivity when faced with challenges.
If it is taking too long
Impatience with delays, advocating for proactive measures in difficult situations.
Life is what we make of
Philosophizing on the role of personal agency in shaping life's outcomes.
All that has gone wrong
Reflecting on the responsibility for the consequences of past actions.
We're getting closer to something higher
Reiterating the pursuit of a higher purpose, possibly communal or spiritual.
We won't go sir, not where you say
Reasserting the refusal to comply with imposed directions or restrictions.
You can try and make me go slower
Resisting attempts to decelerate personal progress or growth.
But we're already on
Confirming the ongoing journey towards a higher state or purpose.
Already on
Emphasizing the present and continuous nature of the journey.
Already on our way
Affirming the commitment to and progress on the path to a greater purpose.
