We believe High Art stands alone and needs no justifier. Great art brings people from all walks of life to a common table.
“ …the presence of good art will unconsciously refine a community and poor art will do it incalculable harm.”
-Robert Henri
HIGH LIFE
The essence of this collective is indeed counter-cultural. We enter the game with our own set of standards that will not be changed by the industry. One defining element is the biblical worldview that drives our very existence and streams through our art. HiSoc will strive for success, while at the same time avoid the bondage of greed and nihilism.
“ For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?”
Jesus Christ
HIGH CHARITY
At every turn, there is the promotion of self-service and self-preservation. HiSoc believes in creating Music with a Purpose for a Purpose. We will give our time and a portion of all proceeds to support various causes across the globe.
“ A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness
and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand,
we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside,
but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see
that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and
women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they
make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than
flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an
edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.”
MLK, Jr.
Take Off
High Society Collective Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking with the Son, we ain't changing who we are
And we 'bout to take off.
(I gotta find somewhere to park this spaceship man)
They telling me it ain't fly, the way that we rock it(rocket)
But how I ain't fly and I'm sitting in the cockpit
'Bout to take off.
High Society, boy, yeah
Ak-town repper, back down never.
They saying I'm a crazy man, I try to explain that Im an alien, but they don't understand it
I ain't from this world homie I'm from another planet
So the things that I'm saying is from another language
I'm speaking to a whole different species
Greetings earthlings, I come to you in peace
Beaming from the Father of lights
So you can see me in the stars up at night.
They say we lost our minds, shooting for the stars
Walking with the Son, we ain't changing who we are
And we 'bout to take off. We 'bout to take off
They telling me it ain't fly, the way that we rock it(rocket)
But how I ain't fly and I'm sitting in the cockpit
'Bout to take off
Yeah, I ain't from around here chief
I'm from away, afar, that's what I are
Pardon my grammar I'm not used to Earth's jargon
I'm foreign from a far land, it seems as your Venus, I'm a Mars man
I'm part man and a section celestial
Extra terrestrial
But them say I'm insane
Insane in the membrane, 'cause I got off the idle warship of idol worship
Homie you got eight whips really that's basic
It sounds like a slaveship, I'm up on a spaceship
Peering at His greatness, bumping Trip's "Invasion"
The theme song of the alien nation
I'm in another galaxy, holding it down without no gravity
Ak-town repper, back down never
And that's how I'm never in your box, you'd be out of space
I'm Son walking up in outer space.
They say we lost our minds, shooting for the stars
Walking with the Son, we ain't changing who we are
And we 'bout to take off. Yeah we 'bout to take off
They telling me it ain't fly, the way that we rock it(rocket)
But how I ain't fly and I'm sitting in the cockpit
'Bout to take off
This pilot talk, how I ain't fly
They say the sky's the limit
And I can't make it up in there unless my lines explicit
So I should take the bus or air
I should take the bus or air?
Man. Y'all can take the shuttle there, Imma take the shuttle there
Too fly so I gotta be up in air
And when I say the air, I'm talking bout the heir
Meaning to the throne my friend
I'm taking off, meaning beaming to the throne my friend, I'm gone.
In the lyrics of the song "Take Off" by High Society Collective, the group is being compared to aliens, who are not from this world and have come to deliver a message or a piece of themselves to humanity. The song begins with the line "They say we lost our minds, shooting for the stars." This line is essentially saying that despite the common belief that they are wasting their time, they are nonetheless persisting in their dreams of greatness. The group uses their music as a way to draw attention to the importance of following one's heart no matter how crazy it seems to be.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice in the song with the repetitive line being "They say we lost our minds, shooting for the stars. Walking with the Son, we ain't changing who we are. And we 'bout to take off." The son being referred to in this part of the song is Jesus; the group is essentially saying that they are following the teachings of Jesus and that no matter how much anyone tries to change them, they will remain faithful to Him.
Overall, the meaning behind "Take Off" is one of self-acceptance, hope, and inspiration. It is about recognizing one's own potential, standing firm in one's beliefs, and daring to pursue greatness despite any and all obstacles.
