It's High Tide Baby
The Blackout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this worth fighting for
You're worth fighting for
As I face the crowd and take a bow
This time its up to you
Time is up for me
Cause I've been biting my tongue for far too long
I know that I'm too blame
Burst into flames (you're beautiful)
You're worth fighting for
I'm worth fighting for (don't say goodbye)
You're worth fighting for

Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime
Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime

Is this worth fighting for
Are you worth fighting for
As I face the crowd and take a bow
This time its up to you
Time is up for me
Cause I've been biting my tongue for far too long
I know that I'm too blame
Burst into flames (you're beautiful)
You're worth fighting for
We're worth fighting for
Say goodbye
You're worth fighting for

Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime
Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime

Sing for you
Sing for you
Sing for you

Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime
Woah ohh
Woah ohh
I apologise for the summertime

I'll never forget you
This is my only choice
You'll never forgive me
I'd die and wait for you

I'll never forget you
This is my only choice
You'll never forgive me
I'd die and wait for you

I'll never forget you
This is my only choice
You'll never forgive me
I'd die and wait for you

The singer becomes introspective, questioning if the relationship is worth fighting for and ultimately concluding that it is. The chorus serves as a plea to the partner, acknowledging the beauty of the relationship and expressing the desire to fight for it. However, the singer also recognizes their own fault in the relationship's struggles and hints at a sense of resignation that their partner may never forgive them.


The line "I apologize for the summertime" is particularly poignant, suggesting that the bright, fleeting nature of summer mirrors the fleeting nature of their relationship. It also suggests a sense of regret that the summer, previously associated with happiness and sunshine, is now tinged with sadness and apology.


Overall, "It's High Tide Baby" is a powerful reflection on a relationship that has reached its breaking point, but expresses a desire to hold on and fight for what was once beautiful and important.
