Mild High Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I could tell you where it's from
The 4-7-3-6-2-5-1
To put my mind at ease
Please just have a laugh with me
'Cause you know I'm borrowing
By now these sounds
Come on, it's a silly dream
Dreamin' of the imagery
Unfound, the view
Sits nice from that cloud
And if you want
A piece of my thoughts
There's a coin worth flippin'
Why don't you toss?
Please just have a laugh with me
'Cause you know I'm borrowing
By now these sounds
Have already crowned
Come on, it's a silly dream
Dreamin' of the imagery
Unfound, the view
Sits nice from that cloud
And if you want
A piece of my thoughts
There's a coin worth flippin'
Why don't you toss?
The opening line of Mild High Club's song "HOMAGE" speaks to the cyclical nature of music and how it can preserve elements of the past while still being enjoyed in the present. The singer acknowledges that someone wrote this song before, and he knows the source of its inspiration: the 4-7-3-6-2-5-1 chord progression. This is a classic chord progression that has been used in countless songs throughout the history of music. By referencing it here, the singer is suggesting that this song is a tribute to the past, a way of honoring the musical tradition that came before it.
The chorus repeats the line "please just have a laugh with me," emphasizing the lighthearted and playful tone of the song. The singer admits that he is "borrowing" from the sounds that have come before him, but there is a sense of acceptance and enjoyment in this borrowing. The dreamy and surreal imagery in the verses suggests that the singer is using music as a way to escape from reality and indulge in his own imagination. The line "the view sits nice from that cloud" reinforces the idea that music can transport us to another place entirely, one where we can forget our worries and just enjoy the moment.

This song hits different when you know the meaning behind the lyrics.
If you don’t know, 4736251 is a very popular chord progression from Bach’s music. So basically, once you understand that the musician is borrowing one of Bach’s chord progressions, the lyrics make a lot of sense. The lyrics are all about how this song was “already written” so don’t take it seriously. Kind of a metaphor for life.
