High Time
Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me again what makes you sad
Imagine how it all appears from outer space
Don′t dream about the dreams you had
We're running fast,
Not fast enough to comprehend
See all the lonely girls and boys
And such a lot of pretty toys
Come on, come on, come on,
Don′t you know it's gonna be
High time for everyone
For all the freaks, the fools, the lovers and maybe
You want to join us on the way back home
They drop the pleasure bombs
They Strike you down you folks,
You common people get off your asses and move along
What do you need to fall asleep to feel alive
The tv tells you every day
A bigger thing, a whiter white, another wife
A 57 chevrolet
Come on, come on, come on,
Don't you know it′s gonna be
High time for everyone
For all the freaks, the fools, the lovers and maybe
You want to join us on the way back home
They drop the pleasure bombs
They Strike you down you folks,
You common people get off your asses and move along
Money can′t buy it
Sex can't buy it
You can′t buy it
Love can
High time for everyone
For all the freaks, the fools, the lovers and maybe
You want to join us on the way back home
They drop the pleasure bombs
They Strike you down you folks,
You common people get off your asses and move along
High time for everyone
For all the freaks, the fools, the lovers and maybe
You want to join us on the way back home
They drop the pleasure bombs
They Strike you down you folks,
You common people get off your asses and move along
The Fool's Garden's song High Time is about the human experience and the desire to find meaning and purpose in life. The song begins with a call to look up at the sky and feel the sunlight on your face, and to let go of sadness and the temptation to dream about what could have been. The lyrics urge us to embrace the present moment and to join together with all types of people, including freaks, fools, and lovers, on a journey back home. The reference to pleasure bombs and striking down the common people is a call to action, a reminder that we must actively seek out happiness and meaning in life rather than waiting for it to be delivered to us.
The song's chorus reinforces the idea that everyone deserves to experience a "high time," referencing the importance of finding joy and fulfillment in life. The lyrics acknowledge that money and material possessions cannot purchase happiness, but that love is a powerful force that can bring us to new heights. Overall, the song is an optimistic message of unity and positivity, encouraging listeners to actively seek out the good in life and to not get complacent.
