Give me one more time
But I'm never satisfied, yeah
Keep my feelings on the side, yeah
Getting high until I fly, yeah
But now I′m scared of heights
It does me good
Hey, I don't need no shit from you
It's cause I′m sad
It′s a bad excuse
Because I know I don't need you
Because I know I don′t need you
Still I can't get enough of the good stuff
Give me one more time
But I′m never satisfied, yeah
Keep my feelings on the side, yeah
Getting high until I fly, yeah
Now I'm scared of heights
Keep on telling me its fine, yeah
Now I′m hanging for my life, yeah
Getting high until I fly, yeah
Now I'm scared of heights
Another night
I hesitate
And now I'm stuck in yesterday
But if I die
Before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Because I know I don′t need you
Still I can′t get enough of the good stuff
Give me one more time
So give me everything of the good stuff
Only one more time
But I'm never satisfied, yeah
Keep my feelings on the side, yeah
Getting high until I fly, yeah
Now I′m scared of heights
Keep on telling me its fine, yeah
Now I'm hanging for my life, yeah
Getting high until I fly, yeah
And now I′m scared of heights
One more time
Just give me one more time
Oh, just give me one more time
Just give me one more time
Just give me one more time
Just give me one more time
Oh, just give me one more time
Just give me one more time
The lyrics of "Scared of Heights" by The Driver Era delve into the conflicted emotions of the singer. The song explores themes of dissatisfaction, indulgence, and fear. In the opening lines, the singer expresses their desire for more of the "good stuff," which could refer to pleasurable experiences, addictive substances, or even a toxic relationship. They admit to not being satisfied and keeping their true feelings hidden away, relying on temporary highs to distract themselves. However, as the song progresses, their mindset shifts, and they find themselves scared of heights, symbolizing a fear of reaching new heights or facing the consequences of their actions. The singer recognizes that they don't need the person or situation they were initially seeking, and yet they are still drawn to it.
The chorus highlights the internal conflict within the singer. They acknowledge their cravings and desire for more, but at the same time, they are aware that it is not serving them well. The repetition of "give me one more time" emphasizes their struggle to break free from this cycle of dissatisfaction and indulgence. The bridge introduces a sense of regret and reflection, as the singer hesitates and feels trapped in the past. They contemplate their mortality, praying that if they were to die, their soul would be taken away. This suggests a desire for escape from the insidious grip of their vices.
Overall, "Scared of Heights" portrays a struggle with addiction, self-destructive behaviors, and a yearning for freedom from the cycle of temporary highs. It touches on themes of self-awareness, regret, and the complexities of human desire.
