Some things you never get used to
Even though you're feeling like another man
There's nothing that he can do for you
To shut me away as you walk through
Lovers laughing in their amateur hour
Holding hands in the corridors of power
Even though I'm with somebody else right now
High fidelity
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
High fidelity
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
There's a new kind of dedication
Maybe you'll find it down the tunnel
Maybe I got above my station
Maybe you're only changing channel
Even though you're nowhere near me
And I know you kiss him so sincerely now
Even though the signal's indistinct
And you worry what silly people think
Who just can't wait to feel so frozen out
I bet he thinks that he was chosen out of millions
I suppose he'll never know about

0General CommentThis song reminds me of a verse in a song by Bob Dylan called Vision of Johanna. I think it is about the absurdity of unrequited romantic love. Ultimately, it is a little too self-aware, although the urgency with which Costello delivers it is absolutely brilliant. the singer realizes that the new guy (substitute, as Pete Townsend would say) probably thinks that this girl is very special and hence his relationship with her is "true love". While recognizing this, the singer feels obligized to point out that that can't possible be true , since it is he that has "high fidelity" - that is, his signal is the one sending "true love".montresoron November 18, 2004 Link

This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
