High
Lokki Lyrics

Life was a never-ending dream
The singer feels that life is a dream that just goes on and on without end.

Smiles weren't always what they seemed
People's smiles aren't always genuine and can hide their true emotions.

The warm winds they came but drew shivers from me
Even though the wind was warm, the singer felt cold inside because they knew something was wrong.

Cause I always knew
The artist had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

I don't want to get high in the morning sun
The artist doesn't want to feel happy and carefree in the morning.

I don't want to be low when I don't know where we've gone
The singer doesn't want to feel sad or lost without knowing where they're going.

I don't want to bathe in the light of another dawn
The singer doesn't want to experience a new day without feeling at home.

When we are so far from our home
The artist feels distant from their home and that they don't belong where they are now.

Old Mother Time, she is looking at me
The artist feels like time is watching over them like a mother figure.

In these lines won't you tell me what you see
The artist is asking Old Mother Time to read their fortune or reveal their fate.

She said I can tell my young friend you are dying to break free
Old Mother Time believes that the singer desires to be free from something that is holding them back.

But you'll be alone
She warns the artist that breaking free will come with a price and they will be alone in their journey.

So many voices will tell you how to live
The singer acknowledges that there are many people who try to dictate how one should live their life.

So many givers will tell you all about what giving is
Many people who claim to be generous will try to tell others what it means to give.

So many truths will rain down in the fires of righteousness
There are many conflicting truths that will come out when people try to be right.

Upon the innocent
The innocent and naive are the ones who will be affected the most by these conflicting truths.

All night long, shadows they come and they're gone
The shadows represent fleeting moments, such as life passing by quickly or missed opportunities.

Moonlight it scatters and forms
The moonlight represents the way things can change and transform, forming into new shapes and patterns.

Deep in your eyes are the patterns of the sea
The singer sees the patterns of the sea in someone's eyes, which could represent the depths of their emotions and thoughts.

And on your hands the folds of happiness and misery
The person's hands tell a story of both happiness and sadness in their life.

And from your mouth streams the music of perpetuity
The person's words are timeless and will carry on in eternity.

But there's a time you'll be gone
Even though their words are eternal, there will come a time when the person will pass away.

Like there is nothing to be done
The singer doesn't want to feel helpless, as if there is nothing they can do to change their situation.

So take me high
The artist desires to feel ecstatic and lifted above their problems.

Take me high
Reiterated desire to be lifted above their problems.
