High Glow
Taxi Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A crowded room
A snapshot, shot in time
You can run
But you know you can't hide
From all the tricks the're playing on
Your mind
To the way you love
Just cry it out
Don't ever you give up
The days are with you
Till the time you fall
Don't you believe them
Don't you belive it all...
Don't you believe it all
I know what you are
I see you so far
I know where you go
Lost in the high glow
High glow
The lyrics of Taxi Girl's song High Glow are quite cryptic, but one interpretation is that it speaks to the tricks that our minds can play on us, particularly in a crowded space where we are bombarded with different stimuli. It suggests that we can try to avoid it, but we cannot hide from these tricks that can affect our thoughts and even emotions. The song seems to be encouraging listeners not to give in to negativity and to keep pushing through tough times, despite what others may say or think.
The phrase "Another shake down to the way you love" could imply romantic struggles, where one is being tested in the way they show affection. But the following lines suggest that despite feeling overwhelmed, it is important to keep pushing forward and not to believe the negative words or thoughts of others. The repetition of "Don't you believe it all" drives this point home.

It's 2019 and I've been listening to this track for over 10 years. Holds a special place in my heart and has been there for me during good times and the bad. Nothing like listening to this riding top down in my convertible watching the sunset. Truly, nothing like it.
@VideoZion
Exactly that!
@liamsmith7052
Same for me. Very beautiful and atmospheric work.
@willweidemann7300
man been listening to this since 2012 before i joined the army and this got me through some tough times.... would blast this song driving along the coast in the hamptons driving past all the mansions questioning life and asking myself how i could make it like them.... music like this is such a comfort and the answer to all of my questions... i dont need to compare myself or be equivalent to anyone but just be me and enjoy the music that i enjoy
