Can't Get High
Unwrapping Life's Boxes: Finding Inspiration and Letting Go
Lyrics
Maybe there’s an answer in the mail today
Expressing anticipation or hope for a response in the mail.
Breaking open boxes like it’s Christmas Day
Describing the eager and joyful act of opening packages, akin to Christmas morning.
And I’m 5 years old
Recalling a childhood feeling, possibly of innocence or simplicity.
Nothing’s taken hold
Nothing has strongly impacted or influenced the speaker.
Packing the apartment all her books are a maze
Engaged in the process of moving, particularly with challenges represented by a maze of books.
Still find inspiration from the lecture she gave
Finding inspiration from a past lecture despite the current circumstances.
About moving on
Reflection on the idea of moving on from a situation.
About letting go
Contemplating the concept of letting go, likely tied to the moving process.
Sorry we got broken
Acknowledging a state of brokenness in a relationship.
Gonna take us some time
Recognizing that healing or resolution will require time.
Nothing ever happens in the daylight
Suggesting that significant events or changes don't occur during normal, routine times.
It takes a revelation
Emphasizing the need for a profound realization or insight to bring about positive change.
Just to turn it all round
Turning around a situation requires a transformative revelation.
Can’t get high ’til you come down
Unable to experience a state of euphoria or happiness until facing reality or confronting challenges.
You said you saw a future if we get through the day
Referring to a shared vision of the future, dependent on successfully navigating the present.
The sentiment was perfect
Praising the emotional quality of a statement, even if the execution is belated.
The delivery late
Acknowledging a delay or lapse in delivering on a promise or sentiment.
I’m not 5 years old
Contrasting with the earlier line, indicating emotional maturity or a refusal to revert to a childlike state.
I’m not letting go
Affirming a reluctance to let go, possibly in contrast to an earlier mention of moving on.
