[Intro: Sh!nki]
(It gon' take me high, I know)
[Verse 1: Sh!nki]
Got to watch my every step
I'm letting go of the things I can't control
Through my highs and all my lows
It gon’ take me high, I know
[Chorus: Sh!nki]
Fit it piece by piece
Finna take me higher
It’s a brand new life, ignites desires
To the place that I call home
Got the magic in my soul
It gon' take me high, I know
[Verse 2: anoravt]
Time to face the great unknown
A brand new journey for the soul
We’ll meet folk, find gold, get old
Then we’ll see how much we’ve grown
We never slept, we only dreamt
We feared our time was near the end
Goodbyes, holding our breath
'Til we meet again, my friend
[Chorus: Sh!nki]
Fit it piece by piece
Finna take me higher
It’s a brand new life, ignites desires
To the place that I call home
Got the magic in my soul
It gon' take me high, I know
[Bridge: anoravt]
(As when I get old)
(I’ll make a house of gold)
(No goodbyes, need a hand to hold)
(Leave no stories left untold)
[Chorus: Sh!nki]
Fit it piece by piece
Finna take me higher
It’s a brand new life, ignites desires
To the place that I call home
Got the magic in my soul
It gon' take me high, I know
Fit it piece by piece
Finna take me higher
It’s a brand new life, ignites desires
To the place that I call home
Got the magic in my soul
It gon' take me high, I know
The meaning of “HIGHER” by Sh!nki is about the life and happiness of Frieren for the anime Frieren: Beyond Journeys End. The song is specifically about the part of her life spent with her original travel group hunting and fighting the Demon Army and their forces.
