High Heels
The Grenadines Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember the strange time
When we dreamt under the tree
Beneath a hillside
We ever were free (?)

Making future plans
We were alive then, oh there

On a hill, on a floor, oh the magic
We were out to breathe
In the streets, in the light, in the distance
You will always leave me
In your high heels
In those high heels

Do you remember that hillside
It was our sacred place since the day
Even when we hide it
You do so well
Now we can′t even to find, ah

Oh, that is a long time
I've ignored that I′ll never get to see our lover's (?) oath

On a hill, on a floor, oh the magic
We were out to breathe
In the streets, in the light, in the distance
You will always leave me

On a hill, on a floor, oh the magic
You will always leave me
In the streets, in the light, in the distance
You will always leave me

In your high heels
Yeah those high heels

Overall Meaning

The Grenadines's song "High Heels" is an emotional track that paints a nostalgic picture of a time long gone. The song starts with the singer asking if the listener remembers "the strange time" when they used to dream under a tree on a hillside and how they were full of life then. The second verse talks about the same hillside, which had become their sacred place, but they can't even find it anymore. It's a bittersweet moment where the singer acknowledges that time has passed, and they're unlikely to experience such feelings again, but the memory of it remains.

The chorus is the most powerful part of the song, with the singer reminiscing about the magic they shared in their time together. However, it's a reminder that they are no longer together, and the distance between them is only going to increase. The repetition of "in your high heels" at the end of the chorus delivers a subtle hit of sadness that is difficult to shake off. The high heels perhaps stand as a metaphor for the distance, as the person becomes smaller, figuratively, walking away in the distance, getting smaller and smaller until they disappear.

Overall, "High Heels" is an ode to the past, a celebration of the magic shared between two people, albeit brief. The song is a reminder of how time flies, and how the moments that make us feel alive, also eventually fade away.

Do you remember the strange time
Do you recall the unusual time?

When we dreamt under the tree
When we had dreams under the tree?

Beneath a hillside
Below a hill?

We ever were free (?)
We were once always free?

Making future plans
Planning for the future?

We were alive then, oh there
We were truly living back then, oh at that location

On a hill, on a floor, oh the magic
On a hill or on the ground, there was magic

We were out to breathe
We needed to breathe some fresh air

In the streets, in the light, in the distance
In the roads, in the sunlight, far away

You will always leave me
You will always go away from me

In your high heels
Wearing your high-heeled shoes
