So High

John Legend's 'So High' is a euphoric celebration of love that transcends the ordinary, elevating the lovers to metaphorical heights. The song begins with the acknowledgment of a transformative love that has entered the narrator's life, making him realize the boundless possibilities that love can bring. The lyrics suggest that this love is not just a fleeting emotion but a profound experience that has the power to elevate and inspire.

The recurring imagery of flying and floating among the clouds serves as a powerful metaphor for the bliss and freedom that love can provide. Phrases like 'walking on cloud 9' and 'my shoes are scraping the sky' vividly depict the sense of being uplifted and carried away by the intensity of their feelings. This metaphorical journey to the 'top of the clouds' and even to the moon and stars emphasizes the limitless nature of their love, suggesting that it can take them to places they've never known, both literally and figuratively.

Moreover, the song touches on the spiritual aspect of love, with lines like 'we can't get much closer to God than where we are.' This suggests that their love is not only passionate but also sacred and divine, elevating them to a higher plane of existence. The repeated refrain of 'this is how love's supposed to be' reinforces the idea that true love is meant to be an uplifting, almost otherworldly experience. John Legend's soulful delivery and the song's dreamy melody further enhance the feeling of being in a state of blissful elevation, making 'So High' a timeless ode to the transformative power of love.
