about
An ode. A metaphor. To finally understanding the beauty and strength that comes from being “on your own”. Higher represents the determined clarity that comes from finding solace within yourself. Knowing that you can move forward in life with the support of just one person; and that person can be you.
lyrics
I could be by myself for days
I could be crying out
Or smoking now
I could drift away
I finally found my sacred space
Where thoughts are loud
No heartaches allowed to touch me lately
Higher
I'm higher
On my own
I'm on my own
Watch me get
Higher
Higher
On my own
I'm on my own
I close my eyes
And I dance for days
On empty bedroom floors
Pink hues and colors
I feel so safe
I think I found my favorite place
I've been here before
Where I'm alone
No one can touch me baby
Higher
I'm higher
On my own
I'm on my own
So watch me get
Higher
Higher
On my own
I'm on my own
Watch me slip away with my mind
Into
The depths of all that shines so bright
I don't know why I never feared
These moments, they're so real
Trust myself with every beat
That my heart makes so steadily
Then I get
Higher
I'm higher
On my own
I'm on my own
Watch me get
Higher
Higher
On my own
I'm on my own
(I'm all alone, I'm all alone)
I could be by myself for days
I could be crying out
Smoking now
I could drift away
