Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're dancing on your wedding day
In school they talk talk
Lola can't stay out late
That perfume's gonna give us away
When we leave they'll talk, talk
High high
You're make up's gonna give us away
When you leave we'll talk talk
Mmm, talk, talk
You fell from high
You fell from high
You fell from high, high
Mmm, Lola
Mmm talk talk
Mmm

The repetition of "high high" in the chorus could have multiple interpretations. It could refer to Lola's desire to live life to the fullest, taking risks and embracing freedom. Alternatively, it could suggest the exhilaration and rush that Lola experiences from her rebellious behavior or from being high on life itself.
