Head Up High Lyrics

You feel, no one listens, before saying you're through
You fear, nothing takes you as far as you'll go

This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all

I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations

You feel, nothing ever stays the same as it was
You'll take, no more remedities to force yourself true
You say, every motion and fall fail you too

This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all

I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations

this song is so moving. "you fear, nothing takes you as far as you'll go." this song just speaks the truth, and so much more.

Someone close to the author is leaving because they feel no one listens to them and they're afraid they wont make it far unless they just leave and say they're through. They feel that nothing stays the same, and even remedies (drugs?) are just forced happiness.

But the author makes it clear that "this song is not about you, but the life that stands without you, your body and blood, you're leaving us all" (so maybe we can infer that he's singing about a relative or close friend, and that they're leaving everyone who loves them).

The singer has to hold his head up high to deal with what they're going through (these true sensations)
