High Highs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even in the spring time
We came for two
Sail on the sea
Some people
They want you
Lifting all your lift(?)
We keep your eyesight
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
When reached the wall
Even in awhile you sit
In a windy ocean
Far from me
Some people they want you
Dripping on your feet
We keep your eyesight
?
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
The lyrics to High Highs' song "Flowers Bloom" speak of a journey, possibly a sea voyage, in search of something or someone. The opening lines reference the blooming of flowers, typically a symbol of renewal and growth. The singer reflects on this growth as they journey with another person, evidenced by the line "We came for two". The listener is then brought to a boat sailing on the sea, and the symbolism of the sea may represent a journey through life, love, or some other important endeavor. Some people want the singer, perhaps to distract or discourage them, but they remain focused, keeping their "eyesight on the boat".
As the song progresses, the singer notes that they have reached a wall, a potentially insurmountable obstacle. It is unclear who the "you" in this line refers to, but it can be interpreted as either the singer or their companion in the journey. They are far from one another, perhaps physically or emotionally. Again, some people want the singer, this time with "dripping on your feet". This creates a sense of discomfort or unease, but the singer remains resolute, focused only on the goal ahead. The song ends with the same refrain, "Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh", giving the sense that the journey is ongoing and the outcome uncertain.

Some people they want you
There are still those who desire something from you even in difficult times
Dripping on your feet

Flores Bloom
Quando as flores florescem
Mesmo em tempo de mola
Viemos para dois
Navegar no mar
Algumas pessoas
Eles querem que você
Levantar todo o seu elevador
Nós mantemo-nos a sua visão
No barco
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
Quando atingiu a parede
Mesmo em quando você se senta
Em um oceano ventoso
Longe de mim
Algumas pessoas que querem que você
Gotejamento em seus pés
Nós mantemo-nos a sua visão
Fiel
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh
Oh, ohhh, ohhhh, oohhhhh

I can never get enough of this song. Once it's on, it's on repeat. It's so beautiful and wonderful and melodic and amazing and so many more wonderful things. I'm so happy that music like this is out there.

I saw them live, opening for Of Monsters and Men and they were awesome! This song made it feel like you were surrounded by angels or something.

Brings back nostalgic memories of 2011 and it's strange how it was 5 years ago but feels like it was yesterday.. time is a concept I'll never understand.
Later Nader
