High Sierra
Journey Through Peaks and Valleys: High Sierra Insights
Lyrics
I've been higher than the high sierra
I have experienced moments of great elevation, akin to the High Sierra.
Lower than Death Valley must be
I have also experienced depths of despair, comparable to Death Valley.
I've been right, mostly wrong
I have made some correct decisions but, more often, I have been wrong.
Wrong about you, right about me
Specifically, I have misjudged you but understood myself correctly.
The way I feel, can't explain
The emotions I feel are complex and challenging to articulate.
So much passion turned to pain
A significant amount of passion has transformed into pain.
The sun still shines most of the time
Despite difficulties, there are moments of brightness in life.
Did you know the sun shines when it rains
An acknowledgment that positive things can happen even during difficult times.
I've been higher than the high sierra
Reiteration of experiencing highs similar to the High Sierra.
Lower than Death Valley must be
Reiteration of experiencing lows akin to Death Valley.
I've been right, mostly wrong
Reflecting on being mostly mistaken in decisions.
Wrong about you, right about me
Specifically, admitting misjudgment of the other person while understanding oneself accurately.
I've been cussed and I've been praised
Having received both criticism and praise.
And I've been nothing these days
Currently, feeling a sense of nothingness or emptiness.
But I'll come back, time will see
Expressing a belief in personal growth and eventual return.
If I'm wrong about you, right about me
Expressing hope that, in the future, judgments about the other person will be proven wrong, and self-understanding will be affirmed.
I've been higher than the high sierra
Reiteration of experiencing highs comparable to the High Sierra.
Lower than Death Valley must be
Reiteration of experiencing lows similar to Death Valley.
I've been right, mostly wrong
Reflecting on being mostly mistaken in decisions.
Wrong about you, right about me
Reiteration of misjudging the other person while understanding oneself accurately.
Wrong about you, right about me
Emphasizing the acknowledgment of being wrong about the other person but right about oneself.
Wrong about you, right about me
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of being wrong about the other person but right about oneself.
