Higher
Rising Above: Exploring the Emotional Journey in 'Higher'
Lyrics
The higher I get, the farther I fall
The more I progress or improve, the harder I fall when things go wrong.
Sick of it all, get away get away from you
Feeling fed up with everything, wanting to escape from a certain situation or person.
The higher I go, the higher I want to stay
As I ascend or achieve success, I desire to remain in that elevated state.
Away from reality and get away from you
Wanting to escape from reality and a specific individual.
The more that I want, the more that you take away
The more I desire something, the more it feels like it's being taken away from me.
All that I'm trying to say is get away from me
Expressing the need for distance from the addressed person.
The higher I get, the farther I fall
Similar to line 1, emphasizing the contrast between progress and the subsequent downfall.
Sick of it all, get away get away from you
Reiterating the desire to escape, feeling overwhelmed.
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna fall
Having experienced difficult situations in the past, determined not to succumb to them again.
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna fall back baby
Reaffirming resilience in the face of past challenges, refusing to regress.
I never seem to wonder why
Expressing a lack of understanding regarding certain situations or actions.
You always want to see me cry
Noting a tendency of the addressed person to desire or provoke tears or sadness.
Always try to turn to the ones you love
Suggesting a habitual inclination to seek solace or support from loved ones.
I never seem to wonder why
Reiterating a lack of understanding regarding certain actions or circumstances.
You always want to see me cry
Highlighting the addressed person's inclination toward emotional vulnerability or manipulation.
Always try to turn to the ones you love
Emphasizing a recurring pattern of seeking comfort from loved ones despite potential issues.
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna fall
Repeating the determination not to yield to previous adversities.
'Cuz I've been down before my friends and I'm not gonna fall back baby
Reaffirming the commitment to remain steadfast in the face of challenges.
I'm so high, I can only take me higher
Feeling elated or euphoric, aiming for an even greater emotional high.
You can take me higher, I let you take me there
Allowing someone else to elevate or enhance one's emotional state.
I'm so high, I can only take me higher
Experiencing intense elation, seeking to elevate oneself further.
You can take me higher, I let you take me there
Granting someone else the ability to contribute to one's heightened emotional state.
