Through he would later struggle with the nature of his small fame, as well as lyrical expectations, D Pryde endured substantial obstacles throughout his young yet remarkably dramatic entrance into the rap game. Before becoming one of the most discussed Asian figures in hip hop, being compared to Asian rappers such as Jin the Emcee, D-Pryde had suffered through hatred and harsh critics which the public eye had given him. Entering the hip hop game, D-Pryde had been exposed to negative messages and comments, which pulled him out of the game for a while. Not knowing what he was putting himself into, he decided to take a break and learn the story behind Hip Hop. Stepping back into the game in the summer of 2007, he is experienced and ready for anything, following his goal to be in the rap industry, hoping to make it one day.
Highway
D-Pryde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes closed but I still see you
Life goes slowly but i'd speed through
The highway to get to you
I don't want you but I need you
Eyes closed but I still see you
Life goes slowly but i'd speed through
The highway to get to you
My high comes from your views
What am I suppose to do?
When my thoughts are always of
Me and you, oh
Got me feeling out of touch
Got me thinking way too much
Ohhh, ohh, oh
Ohhh, ohhhh
Is it me or is it you who tells the truth
For my best being
I don't want you but I need you
Eyes closed but I still see you
Life goes slowly but i'd speed through
The highway to get to you
I don't want you but I need you
Eyes closed but I still see you
Life goes slowly but i'd speed through
The highway to get to you
The lyrics to D-Pryde's song "Highway" convey a sense of conflicting emotions and desires. The opening lines, "I don't want you but I need you, Eyes closed but I still see you," suggest a struggle between wanting to distance oneself from someone, but simultaneously recognizing a strong emotional connection that cannot be ignored. The following line, "Life goes slowly but I'd speed through the highway to get to you," reflects a longing to overcome obstacles and move quickly towards the person in question.
Continuing with the theme of conflicting emotions, the lyrics express how the singer's "mileage is high" and their "high comes from your views." This implies a dependency on the other person's presence and perspective. The lyrics also convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as the singer wonders what they are supposed to do when their thoughts are constantly consumed by thoughts of this person.
Overall, "Highway" explores the complexities of a relationship where there is a deep yearning and need for someone, despite conflicting feelings and uncertainties.

I don't want you but I need you
Although I might not desire you, I have an undeniable dependence on you
Eyes closed but I still see you
Even when I shut my eyes, your image remains vivid in my mind
Life goes slowly but I'd speed through
While time seems to pass gradually, I would rush through it hurriedly
The highway to get to you
Picturing a road leading directly to you, which I must traverse
My mileage is high for you
I have traveled a considerable distance for you emotionally
My high comes from your views
The euphoria I experience is a result of your perspectives and opinions
What am I suppose to do?
I am uncertain about the course of action I should take
When my thoughts are always of
My mind is constantly focused on
Me and you, oh
The relationship between you and me
Got me feeling out of touch
You make me feel disconnected from reality
Got me thinking way too much
You make me overanalyze and overthink
Ohhh, ohh, oh
Expressing emotions of longing or desire
Is it me or is it you who tells the truth
Is it myself or you who is honest and genuine
For my best being
In order to benefit my overall well-being
