Song Description

The aptly titled Higher kicks in with a retro soundscape and a vocal repeat that quickly feels like an anthem or chant fit to inspire and motivate. Follow this up with a clear sense of rising anticipation and passion in the vocal delivery and lyrics, and the whole thing continues to energise as it progresses. The sound design on Higher is distinctly unusual, fusing distorted guitars and synths with a heavy rhythm and intermittently impactful lashings of space. The beat is mellow in pace yet intense and dramatic in tone and weight. Then there's the relentless high energy and drive of Christopher's leading voice, and later the unexpected inclusion of a second vocal, along with a fresh touch of melody, to further the unique dynamic of the whole thing. A retro yet fresh track, feeling brand new yet simultaneously nostalgic in style and set-up. The final moments of Higher see the listener immersed in this chaotic, swirling arena of vocal and musical layers and details.

Lyrics

Gotta get by I stay so fly. Get so high I touch the sky (4x). Stars in the sky, I am reaching for one. The bar set high, I am getting it done. Never been one to be out run. Never been one to be out gunned The baddest mf on the job. In my LANE, I am just me. Never switch lanes, remaining the same, owing my faults when I am to blame. Letting the rain wash away the pain. Never chase money, reject the fame. Don't roll with no cliques!, I am the clique! 3rd Child everywhere like click, click, click.
Always soaring across the say can't clip my wings I am way too high (4x). I am crawling, I am walking, I am running, I am flying, reaching for the stars I am getting higher (2x).
Don't roll with no clique! I am the clique! Roll alone. Thieves roll thick. Dine alone when I eat and shit. Gonna die alone when I leave this bitch. Exhume my bone if you grieve and miss. Come a little closer and give me a kiss. Remember the time I told you u this: Party and pray and work a little bit.
Gramps used to say by the sweat of your brow..a man don't work get a cashless cow. Reach for the stars and the heavens beyond, sleep in the moon, rise in the sun, salute my death 21 bars, drop my ash 21 stars, my new address 21 mars and my DNA in 21 jars.
I am crawling, I am walking, I am running, I am flying Reaching for the stars. I am getting Higher (2x)
I am crawling, I am walking, I am running, I am flying (4x)
Crawling, walking, running, flying (3x)
I am crawling, I am walking, I am running, I am flying Reaching for the stars. I am getting Higher (3x)
Don't you know I am fly, I get so high, I touch the sky, I touch the sky. Can't clip my wings, I am too high, can't my wings I way too high. Don't you know I touch the sky.
Higher!
Higher!
And Higher
Higher
And Higher
Go Higher and Higher
Always soaring across the sky, can't clip my wings I am way too high (3x)
Crawling, walking, running, I am flying (2x)
Crawling, walking running
I am Crawling, walking, running, I am flying
Crawling, walking running
Crawling, walking, running, I am flying
I am Crawling, walking, running, I am flying
