High On You
Buzzy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

But I′m high these days
High on you
And I'm hiding it all in case
And I don′t know how to get out

You've been gone from within
And I try to give up
I try to give up on you
You've been gone from within
And I try to give up
I try to give up on you

Using every part of you to lift me off the ground
Oh, and using all of me, I′ll wait for you
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh
Oooh, oh oh
Oooh

Oh, I know I been away
Oh, I know I been
I don′t wanna see you unless you let me
Oh, I know I been away
Oh, I know I been
I don't wanna see you unless you let me
Oh, I know I been away
Oh, I know I been
I don′t wanna see you unless you let me
Oh, I know I been away
Oh, I know I been
I don't wanna see you unless you let me

Blame it on the world high
The leather on the flesh
Silence was the only way to make you mine
Blame it on the wild ones
Blame it on loneliness
I cannot control you on the side untress

Oooh, oh oh
Oooh

You′ve been gonе from within
And I try to give up
I try to give up on you
You've been gonе from within
And I try to give up
I try to give up on you
And I try to give up
I try to give up on you
And I try to give up




I try to give up on you
And I try to give up

The lines "Using every part of you to lift me off the ground / Oh, and using all of me, I'll wait for you" suggest that one person is using the other to fulfill their own needs, and that this dynamic is unbalanced. The bridge shifts the focus from the addict to the person they are addicted to, blaming them for the addiction: "Blame it on the world high / The leather on the flesh / Silence was the only way to make you mine / Blame it on the wild ones / Blame it on loneliness / I cannot control you on the side untress."
