High
Peking Duk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that you give
Is what you don't deliver
Stuck in a phase
Misguided by mistakes
Your addictive poison is dragging me down
Trying to swim out I'm stuck
You're watching me drown
Lying awake
The colors all fade
From the tears on my face
I've let you slip away
I can kiss whoever is wearing the crown
Time to get out, my love
Don't want you, 'cause now

I'm high and rising
Alive now I'm fine 'cause I let you go
I'm high and rising
Alive now I'm fine 'cause I let you go

I'm fine 'cause I let you go

I'm fine 'cause I let you go

All that you give
Is what you don't deliver
Stuck in a phase
Misguided by mistakes
Your addictive poison is dragging me down
Trying to swim out, I'm stuck
You're watching me

Lying awake
The colors all fade
From the tears on my face
I've let you slip away
I can kiss whoever is wearing the crown
Time to get out, my love
Don't want you, 'cause now

I'm high and rising
Alive now I'm fine 'cause I let you go

I'm fine 'cause I let you go
I'm fine 'cause I let you go

I'm high and rising
Alive now I'm fine 'cause I let you go




I'm high and rising
Alive now I'm fine 'cause I let you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peking Duk's song "High" are filled with themes of addiction, letting go, and personal growth. The opening lines of the song, "All that you give is what you don't deliver," suggest that the singer has been disappointed by someone who has promised more than they were able to offer. This person's "addictive poison" has dragged the singer down, leaving them stuck and unable to swim away.


Throughout the song, the singer realizes that they need to let go of the person who has been holding them back, represented by the lyrics "I've let you slip away" and "Don't want you, 'cause now." As they do so, they feel themselves "high and rising" and "alive," finally free from the weight that they had been carrying.


The repeated refrain of "I'm fine 'cause I let you go" drives home the message that sometimes we need to let go of toxic people and relationships in order to truly thrive and grow.


Overall, the lyrics to "High" are a poignant reminder that sometimes the hardest thing to do is also the most necessary: letting go of the people and things that are holding us back and finding ourselves in the process.
