Hi-Five
Olsen Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But instead I'll pass the time
Sittin' lonely with somebody lonely too
Well, there's nothin' in the world I'd rather do
Now tell me if you don't feel this way
But all I want, all I ever need
Is someone out there who believes
Not always believe
Sometimes believe
Now we don't have to take it to extreme
We'll keep our hands, our legs, even our lips apart
But I'm giving you my heart, my heart
Are you giving me your heart, your heart?
Are you lonely too?
Are you lonely too?
High five, so am I
All of your life
Stuck in time
I'm stuck, too
I'm stuck with you, you, you, you
I do, I do, I do
In Olsen Angel's song "Hi-five," the singer confesses to feeling lonely and seeking companionship with somebody else who shares the same feeling. The lyrics talk about the desire to have someone who can believe in them and validate their feelings, someone who will share their life experiences and keep them company. It is a song about loneliness, but also about finding hope and solace in human connection.
The central message of the song is that when you feel lonely, there's nothing better than finding someone who can relate to your struggles and be there for you. The lyrics suggest that this does not necessarily have to include physical intimacy or any kind of romantic relationship; rather, it is about finding comfort in someone else's presence and feeling less alone in the world. The chorus of the song repeats the title, "Hi-five," which seems to signify the idea of two lonely people coming together and giving each other support and encouragement through a simple gesture.
One intriguing aspect of the song is the ambiguity in the lyrics. For example, the line "But instead I'll pass the time sittin' lonely with somebody lonely too" could be interpreted as either a sad or a hopeful sentiment. Similarly, the chorus "Are you lonely too? High five, so am I" can be seen as either a sincere expression of solidarity or a sarcastic dismissal of the idea of human connection. These layers of interpretation add depth to the song and encourage listeners to relate to the lyrics in their own unique ways.

The cheeriest song about loneliness ever written? The "Are you lonely too? / Hi Five / So am I" is pure giddy magic.
@clarkecalm2982
