This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
if this day got any worse i'd be dropping a verse
about a doctor and a nurse and a cop and hearse
but if its like a rehearsed where the meek get the earth
and the last shall be first i'll be the front of the damn line
its time i find just how i resign go for yours cuz i don't even want mine
elated at being sedated a chillum of sativa and glass of wine
i just try to get mine
smoke so much that i don't know why
on the way down high passed me by and i found that
high is high
try to get higher but high is high
hand in the fire and you don't know why
look him in the eye just look him in the eye and i found that
high is high
good and plenty ripped and munching on some Ramen
on the couch next to me appeared the spirit of a shaman
saying, "the key's to be a monk, not just be a monkey,
pissing away your bliss you're going to be a Bliss Junky"
so i fill her up a chillum and she takes a little hit and says,
"haven't you had enough of this shit,
you're going to huff and puff and blow your mind down"
and i said shut up and keep passing that pipe around
high is high is high is high...and high just passed me by
almost had a bad trip fell down
swimming in the silence drowning in the sound
of the voices in the other side of that curtain i'm certain
it's a bad place i've found
grab it by the horns ride it all around
umbilical cord tied me to the ground
but i took to much and cut it got so high
that i can't come down
about a doctor and a nurse and a cop and hearse
but if its like a rehearsed where the meek get the earth
and the last shall be first i'll be the front of the damn line
its time i find just how i resign go for yours cuz i don't even want mine
elated at being sedated a chillum of sativa and glass of wine
i just try to get mine
smoke so much that i don't know why
on the way down high passed me by and i found that
high is high
try to get higher but high is high
hand in the fire and you don't know why
look him in the eye just look him in the eye and i found that
high is high
good and plenty ripped and munching on some Ramen
on the couch next to me appeared the spirit of a shaman
saying, "the key's to be a monk, not just be a monkey,
pissing away your bliss you're going to be a Bliss Junky"
so i fill her up a chillum and she takes a little hit and says,
"haven't you had enough of this shit,
you're going to huff and puff and blow your mind down"
and i said shut up and keep passing that pipe around
high is high is high is high...and high just passed me by
almost had a bad trip fell down
swimming in the silence drowning in the sound
of the voices in the other side of that curtain i'm certain
it's a bad place i've found
grab it by the horns ride it all around
umbilical cord tied me to the ground
but i took to much and cut it got so high
that i can't come down

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
