Higher Power
Mark Salling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Are you feeling sad today
Did you catch the one you're wanting
just to let them get away
Everyone becomes a therapist
you can't afford to pay
you're going insane

So, maybe something's wrong with you
Seems the world becomes disinterested in everything you do
And if your dream is to be lonely then I guess it's coming true
Are you alive
Are you even alive
because

chorus:
Love is an impossible
I have seen her
Broken and beautiful
Rising up above my remaining ashes
Kneel
Higher power

Now, nothing's left to do but wait
With no distraction from yourself it's time to re-evaluate
You should make your peace with God
or maybe focus on career
But one thing is for certain
there is nothing for you here

So go
there's so many things to see
just beyond the song of darkness that is permeating me
Just because I'm a prisoner don't mean that you're not free
When we met you were blind
now I'm praying that you see
that

(chorus) x2

[guitar solo]





(chorus) x2

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mark Salling's song Higher Power seem to be addressed to someone who is feeling lost and dejected in life. The first stanza starts with a question, "Are you feeling sad today?" and goes on to describe how the person can't seem to hold on to what they want, everyone around them is trying to offer advice like a therapist, but they cannot afford to pay, and they are slowly losing their sanity. The following stanza talks about how the person seems like they are failing at everything they do and their dreams to be lonely seems to be coming true. The chorus of the song, "Love is unimpossible, I have seen her, broken and beautiful, rising up above my remaining ashes, kneel, higher power," suggests that higher power and love are the only things that can save us from despair and help us rise above our circumstances.


The second stanza talks about how the person has reached the end of the road and has nothing else to do but wait. The lyrics suggest that the person needs to re-evaluate their life and make peace with God or focus on their career. It also highlights that there is a whole world out there to explore that is beyond the present darkness. The last line of the stanza seems to be directed towards the person the song is written for, "When we met, you were blind, now I'm praying that you see," possibly reflecting how the singer wishes the person to realize the potential they have.
