Higher
Ary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I belong
Lier lier
My little songs
Will take away your youth
Kingdom comes
Wire wire
Take me home
Or leave me

Up we go
Higher higher
You found ways
To wash away my mind
Sirens call
And love expires
End me now
Or leave me to the wo-o-olf
o-o-o
o-o-o

oh-oh-oh

So let the tide in
Or leave me for the wolf
...
Lumort? skin
Your desire
Let the right one in
And gasoline on fire

Let me know
I'm waiting for
A violent love

Up we go
Higher higher
You found ways
To wash away my mind
Sirens call
And love expires
End me now
Or leave me to the wo-o-olf
o-o-o
o-o-o
oh-oh-oh




So let the tide in
Or leave me for the wolf

Overall Meaning

The song "Higher" by Ary is an interesting piece that appears to center around the feelings of being lost and not knowing where to go, but also struggling to accept help or love from others. The lyrics "I belong, Lier lier, My little songs will take away your youth" seem to suggest that the singer is struggling with their own identity and possibly wants to escape from it. "Kingdom comes, Wire wire, take me home, or leave me" suggests that the singer is willing to accept help, but only on their own terms.


The chorus of "Up we go, higher higher, you found ways to wash away my mind, sirens call, and love expires, end me now, or leave me to the wo-o-olf" shows a sentiment of wanting to reach a higher state of being or consciousness but at the same time feeling like that might take away something from them. The repeated line "or leave me to the wo-o-olf" seems to suggest that the singer is willing to let themselves be vulnerable and exposed to the potentially dangerous unknowns that come with seeking this higher state.


The second verse seems to explore the idea of temptation and the fear of losing control. The line "let the right one in and gasoline on fire" suggests that giving into temptation and desire could be both destructive and intoxicating. Overall, the song appears to be about the struggle to escape a sense of self but also not wanting to lose something important in the process.

@itsdag6720

This is a good representation of norwegian roads. Narrow asphalt, 5 meters of snow, and a random tourist tumbling in the middle of the lane.

@naiflorenzostaana5638
