Higher Ground
Citrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My moral compass
doesn't know which way is north
I'm left spinning
Searching for the truth

We dart around
like scared little fish
Not knowing where
it's safe to dock

And I'm left,
oh how I'm left
Searching for:
Higher grounds
Higher grounds
Oh higher grounds
I'm left, searching for Higher grounds

I post online
Too much of the time
But trending habits
Don't suite my health

Where viral videos
Tell us what to do
How can we think
Of something new

And I'm left,
oh how I'm left
Searching for:
Higher grounds
Higher grounds
Oh higher grounds
I'm left, searching for Higher grounds

It's not a higher ground
I'm looking for,
but I've already found
My true north

Living my life
authentically
Interpreting this way
as a higher ground.

And I'm left,
oh how I'm left
Searching for:
Higher grounds
Higher grounds




Oh higher grounds
I'm left, searching for Higher grounds
