All Time High
Syd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you left me, alone with the sky
These branches are covered in white, all white
I'm in the safest place
Now that the chill has won in the chase
Settled in, settled down
Everything falls just so
Even the rain can't melt all this snow
Everybody, they're paying the price, the price
Who knows when my heart sank into the ice?
In Syd's song "All Time High," the lyrics express a sense of being emotionally elevated and detached from reality. The line "I'm at an all-time high" suggests a state of being above and beyond one's usual experiences, possibly referring to a heightened emotional state or feeling of euphoria. This feeling is emphasized by being "alone with the sky," suggesting a sense of solitude and detachment from the world.
The following lines "These branches are covered in white, all white" evoke a wintery and stark imagery, symbolizing purity and stillness. The whiteness of the branches could also represent a blank canvas or a clean slate, suggesting a fresh start or the potential for growth.
The lyrics further explore a safe space where the singer finds solace, perhaps referring to a place of emotional refuge. The mention of the chill winning in the chase implies that the singer has given in to their emotions, finding comfort and stability within them. This settling in and settling down suggests a sense of acceptance and surrender to their current emotional state.
The lyrics take on a more introspective tone with the line "Who knows when spring will come back around?" Here, the singer ponders the uncertainty of when their emotional state will change and when they will experience rejuvenation or renewal. This reflects a longing for change and a questioning of when they will find warmth and growth in their life again.
Overall, "All Time High" delves into the complexities of emotions and the search for solace, recognizing the ebb and flow of life's seasons and the impact they have on our inner world.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm at an all time high
I am currently experiencing the peak of my emotions or happiness
Where you left me, alone with the sky
After you abandoned me, I feel isolated and vulnerable
These branches are covered in white, all white
The tree branches are completely blanketed in a layer of white snow
I'm in the safest place
I have found refuge in a location that provides complete security
Now that the chill has won in the chase
Since the cold has triumphed over warmth
Settled in, settled down
I have become comfortable and established in my current situation
Who knows when spring will come back around?
No one can predict when a period of renewal and rejuvenation will occur again
Everything falls just so
All things align perfectly and fall into place
Even the rain can't melt all this snow
Despite the rain, the accumulated snow remains unaffected and persists
Everybody, they're paying the price, the price
Everyone is suffering the consequences and bearing the cost
Who knows when my heart sank into the ice?
No one can determine exactly when my emotions became frozen and numb

[Verse 1: Syd]
Need love, write this down
Everything I have to say
Before we make our way, sugar
I'm gonna need assurance, babe (Yeah)
[Refrain: Syd]
If I ever make you mine, need to know if you're the type
Do me wrong or do me right
Guess you never really know
Gotta wait, see how it goes
See about it, down the road
That's a blessing when you find
Find a goner for the ride, don't make me regret tonight
Got a question 'fore we go, one more thing I gotta know
Take your time, baby
[Chorus: Syd]
Could you brеak a heart? Oh, oh, oh
Could you break a heart? Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Could you brеak a heart? Ooh-oh, a heart
Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Lucky Daye]
Promise, it's real, baby
Promise me you'll always keep my heart in a safe, please
Promise me your everything, no matter what they say
Shining when you with me like a diamond, wanna set it in stone
And lil' bae, let me play, let me plant your garden (Yeah)
If I gave in today
[Chorus: Syd, with Lucky Daye]
Could you break a heart? Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Could you break a heart? Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
Could you break a heart? Ooh-oh, a heart
Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)
[Bridge: Lucky Daye & Syd, Syd]
Look me, in my eyes (In my eyes)
Let me, tell real lies
If so, I got what it take
And if no, wait another day
Big dreams, on my mind
Don't leave, blow my high
Let's roll, nothing make a break or spend it
You know, it's what I'm tryna touch you, babe
[Refrain: Syd]
If I ever make you mine, need to know if you're the type
Do me wrong or do me right
Guess you never really know
Gotta wait, see how it goes
See about it, down the road
That's a blessing when you find
Find a goner for the ride, don't make me regret tonight
Got a question 'fore we go, one more thing I gotta know
Take your time, baby
[Chorus: Syd]
Could you break a heart? Oh, oh, yeah
Could you break a heart? Oh, oh-oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Could you break a heart? Ooh-oh, woah-oh, yeah
Could you break a heart
If I asked you, if you had to? (Yeah)
