things
The Early Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With everything that I want
Straightened out everything that I want
Tonight there are things that I couldn't do wrong
To get me high
Take me out
Take me out
Things that I couldn't do wrong
Sometimes there are things that I couldn't do bad
And get me high
They get me high
Take me out
Take me out
There's nothing more
Still fills up with more
And they get me high
They get me high
They get me high
They get me high
Things that I couldn't do wrong
They get me high
Take me out
These lyrics by The Early Years in their song "Things" express a sense of being finished or completed with what the singer wants. They have "straightened out" everything they desire, implying a sense of completion or accomplishment. However, despite feeling done, there are still things that can get the singer high, a possible reference to drugs or some sort of escape. The repetition of "take me out" suggests a desire to be removed from their current reality.
The second verse continues the theme of things that get the singer high but also introduces the possibility of doing wrong or bad things to achieve that state. The repetition of "get me high" highlights the importance of this escape for the singer. The final lines of the song focus solely on the things that get the singer high, emphasizing their significance in the singer's life.

I feel done
I am exhausted
With everything that I want
I've achieved everything I desired
Straightened out everything that I want
I've sorted everything that I needed to
Tonight there are things that I couldn't do wrong
At present, I feel invincible
To get me high
To feel elevated
Take me out
Let me enjoy my high
Sometimes it started
There were times when it began
Things that I couldn't do wrong
Some things that were impossible to fail
Sometimes there are things that I couldn't do bad
Some things that were impossible to do wrong
And get me high
And make me feel elevated
They get me high
Those things have a profound effect on me
There's nothing more
There's nothing else I can do
Still fills up with more
Yet, I am constantly seeking more
They get me high
They give me a sense of euphoria
Take me out
Let me bask in this feeling of elevated emotions
Things that I couldn't do wrong
Certain actions that were impossible to fail
They get me high
They have a profound effect on me
Take me out
Let me enjoy my elevated state

It's amazing how difficult it actually is for life to form. It's beautiful how improbable it was for anything to be alive. It is hard to explain but there is something very impressive, humbling, respectable, and beautiful about it.
