She's So High
Johan Becker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
High above me
She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen I know where I belong
And nothin's going to happen
Cause she's so high
High above me
She's so lovely
She's so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high - high above me
First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me ever really offer
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother
Cause she's so high...
High, high above me
She comes to speak to me
I freeze immediately
Cause what she says sounds so unreal
Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
And nothin's going to happen
Cause she's so high...
In Johan Becker's song "She's So High," the lyrics are about a woman who is perceived as being out of reach for the singer. The woman is described as being "blood, flesh, and bone" with no enhancements, and she is sensory in every way. The singer is convinced that he is undeserving of her because she is "high society" and has everything of the best quality that any man could offer. Although she speaks to him, the singer freezes because he finds it hard to believe that such a woman would even consider talking to him. The song ends with the singer still convinced that he cannot compete with such a high-caliber woman.
The first verse of the song, "She's blood, flesh and bone, no tucks or silicone" is about how the woman does not need enhancements to be perfect. The second verse, "First class and fancy-free, she's high society" displays the wealth and status of the woman. The chorus, "Cause she's so high, high above me. She's so lovely, she's so high" shows that the singer sees the woman as untouchable and unapproachable. In the third verse, "She comes to speak to me, I freeze immediately" he describes how the woman's presence is overwhelming to him.
Overall, the lyrics tell a story about how the singer feels out of place when he is around the woman he is attracted to. The song conveys a sense of hopelessness and defeat, as the singer feels that he can never be with her.
