High Enough

Shaw & Blades' song 'High Enough' delves into the emotional turmoil and longing that follows a significant romantic loss. The lyrics express a deep sense of regret and a desperate desire to rekindle a past relationship. The opening lines, 'I don't wanna hear about it any more / It's a shame I've got to live without you any more,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the pain of separation and the yearning for reconciliation. The fire in the heart and the pounding in the brain metaphorically represent the intense emotions and mental anguish the narrator is experiencing.

The chorus, 'Can you take me high enough / To fly me over yesterday,' serves as a plea for escape from the haunting memories of the past. The idea of being taken 'high enough' suggests a desire to rise above the pain and find a sense of peace and closure. This metaphorical flight over 'yesterday' signifies the need to move beyond past mistakes and emotional baggage. The repetition of 'Yesterday's just a memory' reinforces the theme of letting go and the struggle to overcome the lingering impact of past experiences.

Throughout the song, the narrator's vulnerability is evident, especially in lines like 'Can't you see I'm in a misery / And you know for sure / I would live and die for you.' This raw admission of suffering and devotion underscores the depth of the narrator's feelings and the extent to which they are willing to go to mend the relationship. The song's emotional climax is reached with the realization that despite the pain and mistakes, the desire for reconciliation and the hope for a better future remain strong. 'High Enough' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring hope for redemption.
