The lyrics of Ferry Corsten's song "High on You" convey a passionate and intoxicating love affair that the singer finds himself unable to resist. The opening lines, "Iโm outta fear, Iโm coming with the morning train," suggest a sense of liberation and courage as the singer leaves behind fear and embraces the excitement of a new beginning. The reference to a "love affair" indicates that this relationship may not be fully healthy or fulfilling, as they acknowledge being trapped in vain.
The chorus, "Ohhhhh, Iโm high on you, Ohhhh, itโs kinda obvious you feel it too," expresses the overwhelming intoxication and attraction the singer feels towards the other person. The use of the metaphor "high" suggests an intense emotional state, perhaps indicating that the singer is infatuated and consumed by their feelings. The line "Iโm under your skin" implies a deep emotional connection and a sense of being entwined in each other's lives. Going back in time and crossing every line signifies a willingness to overlook boundaries and consequences for the sake of this intense connection.
The second verse reflects on the consequences of this passionate affair. The line "You put yourself in places you don't wanna be" indicates that both individuals may have compromised their values or found themselves in compromising situations due to their desire for each other. The mention of "lost n found" and how it's tied to past experiences suggests that this relationship may have caused pain or hurt in the past. The line "Ready for the cost I know it hurts, I doโฆ you too?" shows an acknowledgement of the emotional toll this kind of relationship can have on both parties.
In the final chorus, the repetition of "Iโm high on you" emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the singer's feelings, unable to resist the pull of their emotions. The lyric "I try to stop myself, how about you?" reveals a struggle to control these intense emotions, potentially raising questions about whether they are healthy or sustainable. The closing line, "it's not what I am supposed to do," suggests that the singer recognizes the potential negative consequences of their actions, feeling torn between their desires and societal expectations.
Overall, "High on You" presents a passionate and consuming love affair, exploring the complexities and consequences of indulging in an intense and potentially destructive relationship. It captures the simultaneous exhilaration and conflict of following one's desires, even when they may lead to pain and uncertainty.
