Higher Than
Elevating Life's Challenges: Higher Than by Paul Michel
Lyrics
Higher than a mountaintop
Expressing a feeling of being elevated or superior, possibly in a positive sense.
The road is steeper than it seems
Highlighting challenges and difficulties that are greater than they appear.
The road is hard and bare and mean
Describing the path as tough, bare, and harsh.
Longer than the ocean?s tides
Comparing the journey's duration to the vastness of the ocean's tides.
The wait is pain and wants to leave
Waiting is portrayed as painful, and there's a desire to move on.
But when it goes you cannot breathe
Once the wait is over, it becomes difficult to breathe, possibly indicating overwhelming emotions.
Suddenly it dawns on me
A realization hits suddenly, implying a moment of clarity or insight.
She's in love but can?t provide
Someone is in love but faces challenges in providing for their loved one.
She is a saint but don?t ask why
Characterizing someone as virtuous or morally upright, without clear reasons.
She is a rock but never cries
Depicting someone as strong and resilient, never showing vulnerability through tears.
She sits alone and holds her breath
Describing a person in solitude, holding their breath, possibly in anticipation or contemplation.
She wonders how she made her way
Reflecting on the journey and questioning how the person arrived at their current situation.
To find herself here in this place, she said
Expressing surprise or disbelief at finding oneself in a particular place or situation.
Suddenly, it dawns on me
A repetition of the sudden realization, reinforcing its significance.
I am a child at heart
Acknowledging a childlike innocence or purity within oneself.
I wake up and move in robotic steps
Describing a mechanical, routine-like movement in daily life.
Each day like the next no, I never rest
Portraying a monotonous and relentless existence with no time for rest.
If I keep on moving I'll always be safe
Suggesting a strategy of constant movement as a means of maintaining safety.
I don't ever learn?
Pondering on a lack of learning from past experiences.
Suddenly it dawns on me
Reiteration of a sudden realization, possibly emphasizing self-awareness.
I am a child at heart
Affirming the presence of a childlike essence within oneself, emphasizing innocence or simplicity.
