Higher Ground
Martin Garrix Lyrics

All this time
The time that has elapsed until now

All this time keeps fading
The past events that are becoming less prominent as they move further away in time

Feeling trapped inside
Being confined or limited within oneself

So afraid of the darkness talking
Being frightened of negative thoughts and emotions that try to take over one's mind

In my mind
Internally, within my thoughts

It's been a long time coming
It has taken a while for something to happen

But it wasn't for nothing
The effort put in was not in vain or a waste

Soul searching for something
Trying to find meaning and purpose in one's life

I'm down on my knees in the dust
Feeling defeated and powerless

I scream from the top of my lungs
Expressing oneself loudly and emotionally

I'll find my way back to a higher ground
I will overcome my challenges and rise up again

Yeah, I just want to feel alive
I yearn for a sense of vitality and enthusiasm

Deep in my bones
A feeling that comes from the core of one's being

I know I'm not there, but I'm close
I am not yet where I want to be, but I am making progress

Yeah, I just want to feel alive with you
I want to share this sense of aliveness with someone else

Try to speak, but my voice keeps breaking
Struggling to verbalize one's feelings due to the intensity of the emotions

Need to say what's wrong
Feeling a strong urge to express the issues that are weighing one down

So many smiles, you have seen me faking
Putting on a facade of happiness and contentment despite inner struggles

On and on
Continuously, without end

With you, you, yeah
Referring to the desire to share this journey with a specific person
