Chasing Highs
Alma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two a.m., I'm fading in the dark
Like floating in the ocean
People need the poison
Three a.m., you just touched my hand
And made me lose my focus
I almost didn't notice

And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you
And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you

I was chasing highs
Then I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
Then I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
You are getting closer in slow motion

Four a.m., almost touching you
Drowning out the noises
In between the voices
Five a.m., there is something more
I caught the luck you gave me
Phases groing hazy

And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you
And I better know what to do
Who's gonna be the first one to move?
I wanna get closer to you

I was chasing highs
Then I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
Then I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs
You are getting closer in slow motion

I stopped counting the hours
Space between us getting smaller and smaller
I'm losing the powers
I'm falling higher and higher with you

I was chasing highs
Then I found you
We're doing it in slow motion
We're doing it in slow motion
I was chasing highs
Then I found you
You are getting closer in slow motion

I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-hi-highs (I'm chasing, I'm chasing)




I'm chasing hi-hi-hi-highs (ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
You are getting closer in slow motion

Overall Meaning

Alma's song "Chasing Highs" is a vibrant pop song about a late-night encounter with someone who captures her attention and makes her feel alive. The song opens with an image of the singer - alone and floating in the dark like she's lost at sea. She's chasing "highs," but finds herself feeling disillusioned by the party and loneliness around her.


At 3 a.m., the person she's been looking for reaches out and touches her hand, and she loses her focus - a sign that this individual is special. Her thoughts accelerate as she dances around whether she or the other person will make the first move. The lyrics show that, regardless of what happens, she's excited by the possibility of getting to know this person on a deeper level. As the night draws on, they grow closer and closer in slow motion.


The song's chorus is about being enthralled by someone and the emotions that come with it. It's a classic story of two people falling in love in the midst of a chaotic, noisy world. It's all about chasing a high; getting closer to the person you want to be with, despite the dangers and risks.

Like floating in the ocean
I feel like I am floating aimlessly, like in the ocean


People need the poison
Sometimes people rely on harmful things, like a poison, to feel something


Three a.m., you just touched my hand
It's now 3 a.m. and you just touched my hand


And made me lose my focus
Your touch distracted me and made me lose my concentration


I almost didn't notice

We're doing it in slow motion
We are taking our time to enjoy the moment


You are getting closer in slow motion
You are physically getting closer to me, but it feels like it's happening slowly

It's now 5 a.m., and there is something meaningful happening between us


I caught the luck you gave me
I feel fortunate to be with you in this moment


Phases growing hazy
The details of the moment becoming blurry and unclear


I stopped counting the hours
I am so caught up in the moment that I've lost track of time


Space between us getting smaller and smaller
We are physically getting closer and closer to each other


I'm losing the powers
I am losing control, but it feels good


I'm falling higher and higher with you
I am feeling ecstatic, like I am climbing even higher, but it's only because of you


(ooh yeah, ooh yeah)


(I'm chasing, I'm chasing)

@@Bethanmint_1 Souls, remember this verse:
2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


Which clears out the question(complains) that bible is man written, IT IS NOT.
Our sinful nature allows not to write any which were written into the bible.
Nor can any man see future, unless GOD has given him visions.
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Acts 2:17
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Galatians 3:22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
