All My Friends
CLMD Lyrics

The lyrics to CLMD's song "All My Friends" seem to be about the feeling of being in a group of people who are all under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The repeated phrase "all my friends are high" emphasizes this idea, as if the singer is in a space where everyone around them is experiencing a similar altered state of mind. The use of the simile "like Burj Khalifa in the summer night" creates a vivid image of the extent to which the singer perceives their friends as being elevated or larger than life. However, as the sun is about to rise and time is passing by, there is a sense that this euphoric state is temporary and fleeting. The reference to the Mona Lisa suggests that perhaps the happiness and contentment that the singer perceives in their friends is a facade, or that it is a momentary break from the more mundane or difficult aspects of life.

As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they themselves are also affected by the substances being consumed by their friends. The line "my lips are getting dry" suggests a physical manifestation of drug use, as does the reference to being "Lucy in the sky," a nod to the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" which is widely thought to be about LSD use. The repetition of "all my friends are high" becomes a refrain, almost like an anthem, suggesting that this moment of communal intoxication is something that the singer finds both comforting and exciting.
