So Low So High
Maps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're at two feet high
We can't create our scene
So why destroy our time?
Think I lost my girl
But I'm running off
Spending most of my time
Found her 'neath thy sounds
Found her love distant
Strange you feel so low
Then you feel so high
Strange you feel so low
Then you feel so high
Then you feel so high
Then you feel so high
Then you feel so high
Then you feel so high
The lyrics of Maps' song "So Low So High" depict feelings of confusion, disappointment, and longing. The singer seems to be at a crossroads in his life, feeling both lost and hopeful at the same time. The line "We're at two feet down, We're at two feet high" could represent the internal battle the singer is experiencing, where he knows he has hit rock bottom yet still has a glimmer of hope for a better future. The next line "We can't create our scene, so why destroy our time?" further emphasizes his desire for change and a need to take control of his life.
The next verse touches upon the singer's personal relationship, with the line "Think I lost my girl, but I'm running off". He appears to be running away from his problems and trying to forget about his loss. The lyrics "Found her 'neath thy sounds, Found her love distant" suggest that he may have found solace in music and is trying to find comfort in it. The chorus "Strange you feel so low, then you feel so high" is repeated several times, highlighting the emotional roller coaster that the singer is experiencing. It could mean that even after hitting rock bottom, there is still hope for a better future, and one day he may feel on top of the world again.
