So High
Doolittle Eliza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes

In the alley-way feeling peaceful now,
Traffic doesn't ever bother me,

It's enough for me,
Living in my dreams,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?

My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes

On a sunny day,
Sit and contemplate,
All the things that really matter now,
It hurts to hear that you're doing good,
I just can't be bothered,
Why should I be bothered?

I know the truth
Gotta let you go
Gotta put you out
You've become a foe

My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,
I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes

My time is up
I need you to know, that I need you,
Don't you walk away,




I'm feeling so high
From my arms, from my lips to my eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Doolittle Eliza's "So High" convey the emotional struggles of a person who is dealing with a difficult breakup. The singer is torn between letting go of her past relationship and her needs for love and connection. The lyrics describe her state of being high, which could be a metaphorical representation of her emotional state, happiness or of drug use to cope with her pain.


In the first verse, the singer pleads for her partner not to walk away as she needs them. She further exacerbates her neediness by stating how she feels high from her arms, lips, and eyes. She associates her partner with intense emotional sensations that catapult her into a state of euphoria.


The second verse presents a different setting where the singer finds peace and contemplation in an alley-way, untouched by the city's daily bustles. The lyrics convey that living in her imagined world at times is enough for her, and being bothered by the realities of life is not necessary. She later confesses that hearing that her ex is doing well in life pains her; however, she is not bothered by it.


The chorus repeats the songs opening lines, maybe to emphasize how much the singer still needs her lover, even though time is up. The third verse is more decisive and resolute. The song's mood changes, and the lyrics convey the singer's realization that her ex has become her enemy, and she needs to let go of them. She tells her partner that she has to put them out due to the pain they have caused her.
