Highs Get Low

Tauren Wells' song "Highs Get Low" delves into the theme of genuine friendship and unwavering support amidst the often superficial and transient relationships that can be found in the limelight. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the highs and lows experienced on Hollywood Boulevard, where the allure of fame and the excitement of the spotlight can attract a crowd of fair-weather friends. These friends, described as an entourage, offer fake love that runs deep until the fun stops, and then they disappear when times get tough.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the artist's commitment to being a steadfast presence in someone's life, especially when the highs get low. Wells promises to be there in the middle of the night, to warm the body when it gets cold, and to stay when everyone else just takes. This message of loyalty and support is a stark contrast to the fleeting nature of the relationships described earlier in the song. The repetition of the phrase "I'ma be there" reinforces the artist's dedication to being a reliable and constant source of comfort and support.

The song also touches on the idea that true love and friendship last longer than the spotlight. Wells offers a shoulder to cry on and vows to be with the person on the dark side, highlighting the importance of being there for someone not just during the good times, but also during the challenging moments. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines about people changing and nobody feeling pain, suggesting that in a world where others may be indifferent or self-serving, the artist remains a dependable and empathetic friend.
