Higher
Edenbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take away the gray
And set the wheels in motion
Down the road, what you do
Come and fall into
At the end of this day
You can flee you can be
In the end you will see no daylight
And you try, by and by
Falling from the sky
Like a nine days wonder
(chorus)
Give a little try, give a little more try
Never fall in line for a fleeting moment
Be and end all, I am aiming high
Climb a little higher
I don´t wanna see your affected smile
Not for anything, the time is nigh
Lay it on the line and run the mile
Reach a little higher
You can shine or resign
(or) lay it on the line
Or you make a bid for power
Vertigo, overflow
Just a cameo
Silent as a whisper
Raising cain, break the chain
Gather new terrain
Time and tide wait for no man ever
And your eyes are agleam
Like you´re in a dream
Getting out from under
(chorus)
(chorus 1st part)
I don´t want
Not for anything
So won´t you run the mile
A little higher
Reach a little higher
The song "Higher" by Edenbridge seems to be inspiring people to push themselves to reach their goals and dreams. The first verse talks about someone who is feeling down and gray, but they want to be inspired to make changes and move forward. They want someone to come into their life to set the wheels in motion and help them fall into a new direction. However, the lyrics caution that if someone doesn't take control of their life, they'll become their own worst enemy, and they will falter and fall. It's important to keep pushing, keep trying, and keep reaching for the stars.
The chorus reinforces the message that anything is possible if you are willing to try. Don't follow the crowd or the fleeting moments of life. Instead, aim high and climb higher towards your aspirations. The lyrics urge the listener to give a little more, to never give up, and to strive for something beyond themselves. The following verse continues this theme of pushing yourself further and not settling for mediocrity. It talks about the importance of rising up and achieving a sense of power and purpose, breaking free and pushing beyond to overcome limitations.
Overall, this song is an inspiring call to action for people not to settle for the status quo of their lives, but instead strive for greatness regardless of the obstacles before them. The lyrics encourage perseverance, an unwavering commitment to oneself, and ultimately, reaching new heights and a deep sense of personal fulfillment.
Line by Line Meaning
Come and stay, make my day
Join me and make my day better
Take away the gray
Remove the dullness of my day-to-day life
And set the wheels in motion
Let's get moving and make things happen
Down the road, what you do
In the future, what choices will you make
Come and fall into
Join me and let's do this together
At the end of this day
When the day is done
You can flee you can be
You have a choice to run away or face your fears
Your own enemy
You can sabotage yourself
In the end you will see no daylight
If you choose to be your own enemy, you will be stuck in darkness and not find a way out
And you try, by and by
Even if you try, you'll struggle and make little progress
Falling from the sky
Your efforts will be short-lived and you'll crash down again
Like a nine days wonder
Your accomplishments will not last long
Give a little try, give a little more try
Put in some effort and push yourself further
Never fall in line for a fleeting moment
Don't follow trends or do things for temporary happiness
Be and end all, I am aiming high
Aim to be the best and reach your highest potential
Climb a little higher
Keep striving for improvement and growth
I don´t wanna see your affected smile
I don't want to see a fake smile from you
Not for anything, the time is nigh
The time for honesty and authenticity is now
Lay it on the line and run the mile
Be upfront and honest about who you are, and push yourself to be the best
Reach a little higher
Keep striving for improvement and growth
You can shine or resign
You can succeed or give up
Or lay it on the line
Be upfront and honest about who you are
Or you make a bid for power
Or you can try to gain power and control over a situation
Vertigo, overflow
Feeling dizzy and overwhelmed
Just a cameo
A brief appearance or role
Silent as a whisper
Quiet and subtle
Raising cain, break the chain
Be bold and break free from old patterns and routines
Gather new terrain
Explore new possibilities and opportunities
Time and tide wait for no man ever
Don't wait for the perfect moment or opportunity, because time is always moving forward
And your eyes are agleam
Your eyes are shining with excitement and ambition
Like you´re in a dream
It feels like this is all too good to be true
Getting out from under
Breaking free and getting out of a difficult situation
I don´t want
I don't desire
So won´t you run the mile
Please push yourself and try your best
A little higher
To achieve even more
Reach a little higher
Keep striving for improvement and growth

As a fan of Xandria, Nightwish, Within Temptation and several other bands in the category of Symphonic Metal I must say this is a extremely good song in every respect. A real jewel from a very talented band and Sabines voice is perfect for this kind of music. Thank you Edenbridge !
Dan Hoerle

That fish from Finding Nemo is either really pissed that they are not his bubbles or really excited because there are bubbles. I am not sure which.

Castor De apa
Those bubbles are supposed to be "magical" not metal
