High And Low
Palisades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quickly always escaping me
making it hard to breath
as you're moving through my mind
I need to talk to you
I need to know you
and words can not describe
it's hypnotizing
the way you move
and I can't get enough
so captivating
it drives me crazy
you're what I need
and I cant get enough
won't you take
me away to a better place
where my hearts
skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away
You're finally staring at me
your eyes on mine
time is standing still
for you and I
[Tyler Carter:]
You're paralyzing
and hypnotizing
The sight of you
I can't get enough
oh, baby I'm thinking of you
and I know I got you thinking of me too
but I'm all choked up
so I guess it's safe to say I'm blue
take me away to a better place
Where my heart skips a beat
when I see your face
so take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so won't you take me, take me
and rearrange me
got me feeling high and low
so take me away
take me away
Yo hit em with the high and the low
The song "High and Low" by Palisades talks about the feeling of being in love with someone who is always on your mind, making it hard to breathe. The singer is so captivated and hypnotized by this person that they can't get enough of them. The lyrics focus on the intense desire to be close to this person and how they feel paralyzed in their presence.
The chorus is a plea to be taken away to a better place with the person they love where their heart skips a beat every time they see them. The singer is asking for this person to "rearrange" them - to change their life and make them feel complete. The line "Yo hit em with the high and the low" is a somewhat non sequitur expression that can be interpreted in a few different ways. One possibility is that it's a command to the DJ to mix different types of music - the "high" might be a euphoric dance beat, while the "low" could be a slower, more emotional ballad. Another interpretation could be that it's a reference to the ups and downs of a relationship - the "highs" being the ecstatic, passion-filled moments and the "lows" being the struggles and conflicts.

30 year old metalhead. grew up on pantera, dying fetus, dimmu etc.
i fucking love this band. just started listening to them last week and became obsessed.
this is an exciting time for music, there are so many cross genres and collaborations between different artists that the stigma behind pop or metal is slowly being phased out. personally, i believe that transcending or blending genres leave the door open for some amazing music. even Leftover Crack has a fucking rap song. get with this shit or get left out I guess.
@gusmaiawork
+Randy Longstreet thanks dude, I can't understand why people can't get that, and even if they don't like any band's music at least they should respect the band and the ones who like their music. Cheers bro
@TheCokeman1200
+Randy Longstreet props to you for being one of the fewer metalheads who doesn't hate on everything that ends with core
