HighasaKite make songs unlike most things yet to come out of Norway. Pop music with a twist. Let's start in Brooklyn. Via Monrovia to Piraeus and Norwegian mountaintops on to Stockholm.
Irresistible soundscapes full of tasty hooks and mysterious stories, musicians from some of Norways best young bands and then some – Highasakite is undoubtably one of the most original and exciting indiebands you’ve come across in a while.
Keyboards, zither, pounding drums and the occasional noise guitar together with Ingrid Helene's distinctive voice makes a delicious blend of exciting indie pop inspired by artists such as Lykke Li and the movie Where The Wild Things Are.
Highasakite's debut album "All That Floats Will Rain" has received rave reviews throughout the Norwegian press, some even calling it album of the year (Dagbladet) and saying that "No song on this album is redundant, it's all brilliantly brought to life. This, ladies and gentlemen, is pop music!"
Highasakite is playing many of Norways biggest and most important festivals this summer, amonst them Øya and Hove, in support of their debut album 'All That Floats Will Rain', out February 3rd 2012, on Norwegian indie label Riot Factory.
Darth Vader
Highasakite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the biggest sin
It's amphetamine
And I'm on a roll
And through my villain I
I see you and I
I see Paraguay
Am I the real Darth Vader?
I'll slay dragons too
Doodooodooodooodoooodoo
I am a killer-bee
It's the modesty
I'm a colony
And I'm on a role
And through my skin and bones
I look man-a-go, I see Navaho
And I got know
Am I the real Darth Vader?
I'll slay dragons too
If that's what I've gotta do
Doodooodooodooodoooodoo
Am I the real Darth Vader?
(It's amphetamine, and I'm on a roll)
Am I the real Darth Vader?
(I see Paraguay, and I've got to know)
Am I the real Darth Vader?
(I'm a colony, and I'm on a role)
Am I the real Darth Vader?
(Am I the real)
I'll slay dragons too
If that's what I gotta do
Doodooodooodooodoooodoo
The lyrics of Highasakite's song "Darth Vader" express a feeling of power and domination over others, likening the singer to the infamous Star Wars character. The first verse begins by saying "I am a philistine," which can mean someone who is uninterested in or indifferent to art and culture. This may suggest that the singer does not care about societal norms or expectations and is instead focused on their own ambitions. The next line, "It's the biggest sin," implies that this mindset goes against what is typically considered moral or ethical.
The second verse introduces more imagery, with the singer saying that "through [their] villain" they can see "Paraguay," a country in South America. This suggests a desire to control or influence even far-reaching places, and the next line reinforces this by saying "And I've got to know." The chorus repeats the central question, "Am I the real Darth Vader?" and the following line, "I'll slay dragons too," indicates a willingness to overcome any obstacles or adversaries in pursuit of their goals.
The second half of the song repeats many of the same themes and phrases, with the addition of the line "I am a killer-bee" in the third verse. This paints the singer as someone who is aggressive and determined, but also part of a larger group or movement. Overall, the lyrics of "Darth Vader" convey a sense of confidence, ambition, and even megalomania.
Line by Line Meaning
I am a philistine
I'm someone who is not interested in art, culture or intellectual topics
It's the biggest sin
Being a philistine is considered a great sin
It's amphetamine
This lack of interest feeds her energy and enthusiasm like a drug
And I'm on a roll
She's on a high because of her lack of knowledge
And through my villain I
Despite her shortcomings, she still sees the world with excitement and through the prism of darkness
I see you and I
She sees the contradictions in the world and the people around her
I see Paraguay
She sees exotic and faraway places that she may never visit
And I've got to know
She's curious about the world and wants to learn more about it
Am I the real Darth Vader?
She wonders if she's a villain like Darth Vader
I'll slay dragons too
She is willing to face her fears and overcome obstacles
I am a killer-bee
She can be dangerous and intimidating
It's the modesty
Despite this, she remains humble
I'm a colony
She's part of a group or society
And I'm on a role
She's still on her high
And through my skin and bones
Despite being part of a group, she still feels like an outsider
I look man-a-go, I see Navaho
She sees other cultures and their beauty
And I got know
She wants to learn more about other cultures and people
Am I the real Darth Vader?
She wonders again if she's a villain like Darth Vader
If that's what I've gotta do
She's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, even if it means slaying dragons
