Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend

We'll make it till the world ends

Don't give me love, governed by life
Limited by these worldly heights
I want a love that the universe
Can never stop, can never hurt
I want a love that will last
After this world is our past
A love that no time could erase
A love in a higher place

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space
I want you to be my friend
We'll make it till the world ends

Show me to a higher place
Take me to outer space

We'll make it till the world ends

Don't sell me short
On unconditional
I want a love
Beyond what we all know
Who-o-o-oah, I want a love that will last

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike feat. Ne-Yo's song "Higher Place" speak to a desire for a type of love that transcends the physical boundaries of this world. The repeated refrain of "show me to a higher place" and "take me to outer space" suggests a longing for a love that is beyond what is currently known and experienced in this world - a love that exists on a different plane.

The lines "don't give me love, governed by life, limited by these worldly heights" seem to reject the idea of a love that is bound by societal norms and expectations, and instead seeks a love that is truly unconditional and limitless. The song also emphasizes the desire for a love that endures beyond the end of this world - a love that "no time could erase".
