So High

Ski Mask The Slump God's song 'So High' is a hypnotic exploration of elevation, both literal and metaphorical. The repetitive and almost trance-like lyrics emphasize a state of being 'high,' which can be interpreted in multiple ways. On one level, it could refer to the physical sensation of being under the influence of substances, a common theme in modern hip-hop. However, it also suggests a mental or emotional state of elevation, where the artist feels detached from the mundane and is in a zone of heightened creativity and focus.

The recurring phrase 'Let me know, how high' serves as a call to understand the extent of this elevated state. It’s as if Ski Mask is inviting the listener to join him in this elevated experience, to see how far they can go together. The repetition of 'We can go high, high' and 'We can soar, how high?' reinforces this idea of limitless potential and exploration. The song creates a sense of unity and shared experience, suggesting that this elevated state is not just personal but can be a collective journey.

The lines 'But don't hit my phone, yah, yah / Bitch just leave me 'lone, yah, yah' introduce a contrasting element of isolation. While the artist is in this elevated state, he also seeks solitude, perhaps to maintain his focus and creativity. This duality of seeking both connection and isolation is a common theme in the lives of artists, who often need to balance their public personas with their private need for space and introspection. The song captures this tension beautifully, making 'So High' a nuanced exploration of the highs and lows of an artist's life.
