Jerry Cantrell – Devil By His Side Lyrics 11 years ago
The word "elusive" in this context means "hard to find" or "hard to reach/achieve". Therefore, "elusive high" in this context is saying that he is trying/would like to recapture or feel again how he did in the past. Considering the overall theme of the song, I believe that Jerry wants to let an old friend know that he is trying resolve his past issues and rekindle a friendship that was lost due to those issues. I think that we can all relate to that feeling!
