High Glow

Taxi Girl's song 'High Glow' delves into the complexities of perception and the mind's susceptibility to illusions. The lyrics open with the imagery of a crowded room, suggesting a scenario where one's senses are overwhelmed, and reality becomes distorted. The phrase 'playing trick on your mind' sets the tone for the song, indicating that the mind is constantly being deceived by external stimuli. This theme is further emphasized with the line 'you could run, but you know you can't hide,' implying that these mental tricks are inescapable and omnipresent.

The song also touches on themes of love and fate, as seen in the lines 'And all the shape down to the way, you love' and 'Fate is with you, till the time you fall.' These lines suggest that love and destiny are also subject to the same illusions and deceptions that plague the mind. The repeated advice to 'cry it out, don't ever you give up' serves as a reminder to persevere despite these challenges. The song encourages resilience and warns against believing in the deceptive nature of reality, encapsulated in the repeated question, 'Don't you believe it all?'

The chorus, with its repetitive 'I know what you are, I see you so far, I know where you go, lost in a high glow,' adds a layer of introspection and self-awareness. The 'high glow' can be interpreted as a state of being lost in one's illusions or a heightened sense of reality that is both mesmerizing and misleading. This 'high glow' represents the allure and danger of being captivated by one's perceptions, leading to a sense of being lost. Taxi Girl's 'High Glow' ultimately serves as a poignant exploration of the mind's vulnerabilities and the importance of maintaining clarity and resilience in the face of life's deceptions.
