High Whatever
Dancing in the Rain of Emotions: Last Youth's 'High Whatever' Explained
Lyrics
I see you in the back of the room
I notice you at the back of the room.
And you've got nothing left to proof do you
You seem to have nothing left to prove.
I see you taking shots on your own
I observe you taking shots on your own.
And that's the issue baby can't you see
The problem is, baby, can't you see?
You can be sad you can be mad or you can go home
You have the choice to be sad, mad, or leave.
You can have fun the night is not done you want to be alone
You can enjoy yourself; the night is not over if you want to be alone.
Oh were you high whatever
Rhetorical question about being high, carefree.
Getting stoned for ever
Suggesting a perpetual state of getting stoned.
While you dance out in the weather
Dancing carefree in any weather.
Oh were you high whatever
Reiteration of the carefree, stoned state.
Getting stoned forever
Emphasizing the continuous nature of getting stoned.
While I wait out in the pouring rain
Waiting in the pouring rain, perhaps for someone.
I smell you on my sheets like perfume
Feeling the presence of someone on the sheets, reminiscing.
By the stains where we would lay
Referencing physical marks of past intimacy.
Not amused by the games you would play
Expressing dissatisfaction with past games or behaviors.
But I'm addicted to the words you say
Despite issues, addicted to the words spoken.
Kiss my neck and ask me if we've met
Describing a moment of intimacy with a request.
Is this not something you'll regret
Questioning if the current situation will lead to regret.
Ante up now your hands on my chest
A phrase suggesting taking risks or increasing commitment.
Raise your voice before I raise the bet
Encouraging assertiveness or a challenge.
You can be sad or you can be mad or you can go home
Reiteration of the choice between sadness, anger, or leaving.
You can have fun the night is not done you want to be alone
Reiterating the option to have fun and be alone.
