B the First Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are too many rules
In this crazy world of fools
They wanna control me
When I cross a boundary
In the dust I found the pearl
You’re the Beauty I’m the Beast
Be the pleasure of my feast!
Ref.:
I wanna get high
Higher than the highest ground
seven miles high in my head
I'm running through the clouds
I’m gonna get high
Higher than the highest ground
seven miles high in my head
I’ll be running through the clouds
On my deathbed
Verse:
‘cause you’re my wonderful escape (for me)
I tried to break free from you
But that’s what I couldn’t do
to put up with this place
(Come on!)
You’re the only girl
I finally found a pearl
You’re the Beauty I’m the Beast
Be the pleasure of my feast!
Bridge:
And on your magic carpet
Ican fly away with you again
I don’t have to face no lies
‘cause it’s your private promise land
(that you expand and you command)
The lyrics to B the First's song "Get High" delve into themes of rebellion against societal rules and the desire to escape the mundane and find a sense of liberation. The opening verse highlights the frustration with the many rules imposed by the world and the desire to break free from them. The reference to being controlled and the concept of crossing boundaries suggests a yearning for freedom and a refusal to be confined by societal norms.
The lyrics take a turn in the chorus, where the singer expresses a longing to get high, both figuratively and literally. This desire surpasses the highest ground and reaches a metaphorical elevation of seven miles high, symbolizing a state of euphoria and transcendence. This high is depicted as a means of escapism, where one can run through the clouds, leaving behind the burdens and constraints of reality. The mention of being on the deathbed suggests the desperation to experience this ultimate high before it's too late.
The second verse reinforces the idea of the desired escape, emphasizing the willing submission to this intoxicating relationship and acknowledging the addictive nature of the escape being sought. The singer sees the person they desire as their wonderful escape, implying that their presence offers a temporary respite from the challenges of life. Despite attempting to break free, they find themselves unable to resist the allure of this escape, and the person becomes a precious discovery akin to finding a pearl.
The bridge adds another layer to the concept of escape, envisioning it as a magical carpet ride with the person being sung to. This imagery conveys a sense of unlimited possibilities and freedom from the lies and deceit of the outside world. The promise of a private promised land that expands and is commanded by the person amplifies the idea of this escape being a sanctuary from the harsh realities of life.
Overall, "Get High" explores the yearning for freedom, the desire to escape societal constraints, and the pursuit of a euphoric state of transcendence through a special relationship.
