Tems “Higher” Lyrics Meaning {Explained}

Tems Higher Meaning

Almost everyone is a fan of Tems’ Higher song. It’s such an emotional but very relatable song Also, If you have listened to the song so many times, you must have wondered what it means. Here is the meaning of Higher by Tems

 

Tems Higher Meaning

Tems Higher Lyrics meaning bears one major meaning: A call to pull oneself from a life of hopelessness and reach out for something higher.

Examining Tems Higher Lyrics Meaning speaks on how Tems has someone (A boyfriend or a close friend) in this scenario, who keeps pulling themselves down while inviting her into their life without necessarily accepting the help she wants but going back to that life of hopelessness.

It mostly feels like Tems Higher Meaning speaks more to a romantic relationship than that of friendship.

Self-sabotage

The guy in question is self-sabotaging. That’s why Tems says “With your deaf ears/open your mind to the sound of the trumpet”.

Tems says she wants to fly, she wants to discover something else because there is always something higher to reach out for; to be and to achieve.

Unfortunately, the guy does not want that because life does not bring much.

It brings less to expect, and this is why he is so hopeless. This brings us to Tems Higher meaning based on how she asks the guy if he would actually help her if the world was ending, or he would cry in hopelessness again.

Also, she states categorically that “I will wait for you”.

She will wait for him even though he’s so hopeless. Even though he doesn’t want to be hopeful or live for something higher, she will wait for him.

That’s having hope in people. And this is what Tems Higher meaning implies.

She implores people to live for something higher rather than subjecting themselves to hopelessness because they don’t believe in something greater than themselves; something greater than the world.

That’s what Tems Higher means.

Lyrics

Higher
Higher
Saying higher-er-er-er ey

Tell me why you’re crying now kini big deal
When you gave me something I don’t really feel
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground you were dying
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge, I’m enlightened

If the world was ending
Would you cry, or would you try to get me
Tell me now, I want you to be clear yeah
Tell me now, I need you to be clear yeah

I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you

Get me
Can you put the time on a rewind yeah
Help me understand, can you tell me now
Why you made the war that we’re fighting now

And you fall and you run
When you see my big guns
Run around, run away
As the rebel comes out
Then you call call on me
When you call me I come
But there you go again

With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do you want from a life of the hopeless
Now here you are and you’re begging and crying
I want to fly yeah I’m flying till morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I’m gone yeah
Running away from the darkness, I’m out here yeah

Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Turning back from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it’s big tunes I’m killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I won’t stay for you

I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
