High And Low
Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I want you to know that I'll always be around
Down where the summer and the late nights last forever
There's a house on the hill and we can't travel now
Alice D, you're on your way up
Way up, way up
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
Let's get together and forget all the troubles and just float
I don't want you to go
I need to be closer to now
Alice D, you're on your way up
Way up, way up
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
Alice D is on will
She's been out all night again
She don't want nobody's help now
She sees stars and rocket ships
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
If I had my way, never let you go (never let you go)
I feel most times we're high and low (high and low)
The lyrics to Empire of the Sun's song High And Low describe a feeling of a constant up and down in a relationship, as if they are both on a rollercoaster ride. The singer refers to the person they are addressing as Alice D, who seems to be a free spirit, always partying and enjoying life without asking for anyone's help. They both run together to a place unknown in search of adventure, and the singer assures Alice D that they will always be there for her. The second verse talks about Alice D going out all night and seeing "stars and rocket ships," suggesting that she is out partying and having a wild time. The chorus repeats the idea that their relationship is constantly fluctuating, where they feel high and low, but if the singer had their way, they would never let go.
It is possible to interpret the lyrics in different ways, but some common themes include the desire to live life to the fullest, the ups and downs of relationships, and the importance of being there for the people you care about.
