Highlight reels
Highlight reels
Woah
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
A lot of folks only post the highs
Gotta tell you the truth can't hide
A lot of times I'm low can't lie
Gotta learn to enjoy the ride
I be so stuck all in my mind
But ups and downs it's all a part of life
Yeah
Gotta embrace it
Everyday won't be amazing
But as long as your heart racing
Better days on the way be patient
Don't follow the hype
They only showing highlights
Life get dark like night
Follow the son it get bright
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
If I stay looking back in the hindsight
Like high beams it keep blinding me
From what's in front of my eyes
Up ahead and what's beside of me
I got to stay focused
Cause I'm only here for a moment
God said I'm chosen
And I'm trying to get closer
I use to want the spotlight
Now I just want a spot right
Next to the one who laid down his own
In exchange for my life
Everyday not gone be a highlight
Every post not gone have high likes
I know I can't get it all right
But I know I'm gone be alright
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
Highlight reels
Life ain't always highlight
Highlight reels
From the pain you grow
Like flowers in the field
Sometimes you feel low
Ain't always highlight reels
(Ain't always highlight reels)
The lyrics to Ra.L's song "Highlight" delve into the idea that life is not always full of highlights or high points. The repetitive mention of "Highlight reels" serves as a metaphor for how people tend to showcase only the best moments of their lives on social media, creating a highlight reel that may not accurately represent the full spectrum of human experiences. The artist emphasizes that life is not always about highlights and that growth often comes from facing pain and struggles, much like how flowers grow in the field.
The lyrics also touch upon the pressure to only show the highs in life and the importance of being truthful and authentic about one's experiences. Ra.L acknowledges that everyone faces low points and struggles, but it is essential to learn to enjoy the ride and embrace both the ups and downs as part of the journey. The artist encourages listeners to be patient and not get caught up in the hype or comparison to others' highlight reels.
The song reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the need to stay focused on the present moment rather than getting caught up in past regrets or future worries. Ra.L expresses a desire to be closer to a higher power and emphasizes the value of humility and gratitude. The lyrics convey a sense of acceptance that not every day will be a highlight and that not every post will receive high likes, but ultimately, everything will be alright in the end.
Overall, Ra.L's "Highlight" serves as a reminder to embrace the full range of human experiences, including the lows and challenges, as they are integral to personal growth and development. The artist urges listeners to look beyond the superficiality of highlight reels and seek fulfillment in the everyday moments that may not always be glamorous or exciting but are valuable nonetheless.
