Higher State
Jodie Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sun is up and shining in the sky
Got a heart of gold that I can see
Baby you got you now you got me
Something's on so don't be late
It's time to leave for the higher state
There is no time to be low tomorrow
There's no time to be high and fly
There's only time to thrill
So when I am up and you are down
Baby that's when you gotta come around
Gotta ease my pain and soothe my brain
Gotta take me in out of this rain
Something's on so don't be late
It's time to leave for the higher state
There is no rhyme to express my emotion
There's only rhyme to feel
There is no rhyme to fulfill my devotion
There's only rhyme to heal
Don't fret get high there's a new dawn that says hi
The higher state
It's a happy day for you and I
The sun is up and shining in the sky
Got a heart of gold that I can see
Baby you got you now you got me
It is no crime to be lost with no direction
It's just a crime not to live
And there is no crime to be asked for affection
Its just a crime not to live
Don't fret get high there's a new dawn that says hi
The higher state
The song "Higher State" by Jodie Connor is an upbeat track that encourages listeners to live in the moment and let go of any worries or stresses. The first verse emphasizes the happiness felt by both the singer and the listener, as they enjoy the sunny day and the presence of each other. The second verse takes on a more serious tone, as the singer acknowledges that there is no time to be low or high, only time to thrill and kill. These lines suggest that life is too short to be spent feeling down or too focused on achieving a certain high, but rather it should be spent living in the present moment and enjoying life to the fullest.
The chorus is an uplifting one, calling on the listener to join in on the journey towards the "higher state", where worries and pains can be left behind. It suggests that there is no need to feel lost in life, as there is always a new dawn waiting just around the corner. The final verse echoes this sentiment, stating that it is not a crime to be lost with no direction, but it is a crime not to live. The song overall is a reminder to appreciate the moment and live life to the fullest, without getting bogged down by worries or fears.
