The Blackout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You tear me down with, cause I'll be worry
I won't leave the broke of day
But up I carry the had in, take you home and take your pain

That's it, you're sad, blind trust, of misled
Her trust ' got hard, too bad

Where you taking at? Tonight
You got me burning like fire
And no freaking that will come alive
Will take it higher and higher

We can never be discover, you don't want to same
So don't start swearing cause you're heart's tearing
Love is just a game

That's it, you're sad, blind trust, of misled
Her trust, got hard, too bad

Where you taking at? Tonight
You will be burning like fire

And no freaking that will come alive
Will take it higher and higher,

Got hungover just woke from blacking out
Next to my shoulder, trying to find a way to sneak out
Freaked out, I don't think my playing days gonna be over with
Every Friday I'm in love with a new think I need to find a way to chill

Where you taking at? Tonight
You got me burning like fire
And no freaking that will come alive
Will take it higher and higher, higher and higher, higher and higher,
higher and higher, higher and higher, higher and higher, higher and higher,
higher and higher.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Blackout's song "Higher & Higher" speak to the emotional turmoil of a relationship that is both passionate and destructive. The opening lines suggest that the singer is being torn down by someone they care about, and that they are struggling to cope with the pain. However, despite the heartache, they remain committed to their partner, offering to carry their burdens and bring them comfort.


The chorus is a defiant celebration of the intensity of their love, even though it may be misguided and ultimately self-destructive. The singer feels alive and on fire with passion, and they are willing to take the relationship "higher and higher" even if it may lead to disaster.


The bridge of the song is a bit of a departure from the rest of the lyrics, focusing on a hungover morning and the singer's fear that their wild partying days may be numbered. However, it ultimately ties back into the central theme of the song, which is the heady rush of passionate love and the willingness to embrace it even though it may be fleeting and ultimately damaging.


Overall, "Higher & Higher" is a song about the intoxicating power of love and the danger of letting yourself be consumed by it. The lyrics are raw and intense, capturing the sense of surrender and recklessness that can come with being in a relationship that feels all-consuming.

@juggernautxx5375

Did you first here this on a video called Donphan and steelix vs charizard and aggron?

@beth5418

GOD I miss seeing them live. They are hands down the best live band I've ever experienced. For a good few years, no matter what shit happened in my life, I'd go see the blackout every few months and forget all that shit and just have pure fucking fun. I miss that so much.
They were also one of the few bands who priced tickets very fairly and affordable, something I always appreciated as someone in a low income household.

@samallen1787

Yeh I rember paying £10 for a ticket once

@Willowentv

Gavin Butler is the biggest legend ever, i got to have a long chat with him one to one as it was after his sound check at the joiners for his solo set and honestly he is the most down to earth and lovely person. Later on, I watched as he put up with the waves of irritating scene girls crying in front of him when all he wanted to do was watch his mate's set, not only that, when i went to buy one of his t shirts he saw me empty my wallet in a mountain of change he told me to have it for free. boss

@Chris-ss4jp

This song along with lots of other are getting me through life... This shit rules and will never get boring to listen to

@rosaleenkh
