Higher
Rihanna Lyrics

The above lyrics are from Rihanna's song "Higher" which is a soulful ballad about a woman's yearning for the person she loves. The singer is intoxicated on whiskey and is expressing her desires passionately. She apologizes for her behavior the previous night but emphasizes her current feeling of love and desire with the person. The singer is aware that her words are not poetic or creative enough, even though she is in her intoxicated state, but she still expresses her strong desire to have the person with her. The chorus of the song, which is the repetitive phrase, "You take me higher, higher than I've ever been, babe" emphasizes her feeling of being elevated because of the person's presence in her life.

The singer then invites the person to spend the night with her and suggests pouring another drink which would further fuel their passion for each other. She expresses her concern about calling too late but insists on staying up late together smoking a J (joint) and discussing their relationship. She also expresses her desire to go back to the "old way," which could mean a simpler, more happy time in their relationship. However, she acknowledges that she is drunk and not able to express herself completely, which is evident from the full ashtray and her rambling.

Overall, the song depicts the desire of someone who is intoxicated with love and wants to express it to the person she loves, even though she may not be completely coherent. The song beautifully blends the elements of blues, R&B, and soul with Rihanna's powerful vocals, adding an intimate and vulnerable touch.
