High and Dry Lyrics Artist(Band):Radiohead
Flying on your motorcycle, watching all the ground beneath you drop. You'd kill yourself for recognition; kill yourself to never ever stop. You broke another mirror; you're turning into something you are not. Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Drying up in conversation, you will be the one who cannot talk. All your insides fall to pieces, you just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you. You will be the one screaming out. Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry It's the best thing that you've ever had, the best thing that you've ever, ever had. It's the best thing that you've ever had; the best thing you've had has gone away. Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry If you find some error in High and Dry Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

Heartbreaking. The words fit his story perfectly If anyone can confirm or deny that, i would be grateful... ps bends and ok computer should be played on repeat...beautiful songs radiohead rules............. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/2008 this is one of teh bests fuch¿king songs in evcery globe now we need music like that no more bullshit like many bands only bullshit we need talent, dedication and intelligent music please and radiohead rules............... Maybe he talkeed to someone in particular | Reviewer: Led | 2/23/2008 I think, when you are into something sharing it with someone else (maybe an activity, a project, an addiction, a crime, a feeling, or even non personal relationships as a tendency, a style, a "school" ) between the individuals bounded by some of these kind of facts, there is a main idea, even if is not explicit, even between people never known each other in person, wich is the "we are in this together" so there is a reciprocal feeling about someone else who represented for him a cell-mate, a similar one, forced to be there doing their role in the story, some who, lets say, shared the guilt with him, some guilt expressed when the "dont leave me high..." points to one sharing the same position nwhich was not more than a shame (maybe) for him (themselves) until he was left alone, in the carrying of a responsability that was not up to himself by nature.. i dont know, dont want to be snob or seem to be a fan,of characters, (musical off course) but reading the 90´s decade, the new tendence in decaying rock in mainstream was dull and made the sad, junkie-like feeling - living mood in music also as in look, and attitude, was a signal of what became a natural and daily reality... like a "spokesman" of a coming and growing generation .. maybe he reffered to his own esteem, his own self conffidence, wich left him behind, or even he talked to other famous or representative artist, may be about Kurt Cobain maybe complaining himself about not have done him before, or better complaining about his lonesome position in history. Two jumps ina week may represent the excess, the "inmature exceeded behavior" as he said you think isd pretty clever? (in the sense cobain made his miss-selfcare, his selfdestructive excess living his publicitary campaing).. When say "about broke another mirror .. so as cobain said in some of his lyrics about, been ugly "we broke our mirrors", maybe in that point i center the comparisson because lithium is a song where Cobain is joking ironicaly as so as painful about his way to find calm "So happy" only by antidepressants, fact that bound this two mentioned songwriters, as Yorke was Narcoleptic (narke-lepsis) patient and have a tendence to depression too. The turning into something you are not may picture the way he saw cobain come undone, missdrowing himself , leaving yorke, high and dry.. being the only one to keep the cold deadly sad sight to the camera and the voice high and mood down. mnight be High and Dry | Reviewer: Paranoid Android | 2/11/2008 This is one of Radiohead's best songs from their early years. You know, before their masterpiece Kid A. Before Ok Computer, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief, In Rainbows, and all of their live releases, and EP's. Kid A is when they were the greatest band in the history of music. But they were always great. And this song, High And Dry, is (Besides Street Spirit) the best off The Bends. No, it's obviously NOT about a daredevil. It's not regret either in my opinion, but just a song of unrequitted love. In my opinion. The person who said, "Like poetry you can interpret it how you want"... this IS poetry. As is all Radiohead lyrics. It's not LIKE poetry, but it is poetry. You want proof of this? Look up the lyrics to anything off In Rainbows, particularly Jigsaw Falling Into Place. Or the song Like Spinning Plates. They are the greatest musical group of all time, because of their genius. After I fell in love with them a year ago, I will always be paranoid. As an android. I love their tribute to Bob Dylan by naming a song Subterranean Homesick Alien. They are genius. The song meaning? Life sucks. And the world sucks, and we can't understand it, and when you aren't a perfectly viewed human being, everyone will look at you off. When they look at you at all. I have to listen to Radiohead a lot to know I'm not the only guy in the world in love with someone who can't love me back. The intended meaning | Reviewer: adam | 1/18/2008 Like a poem, you can interpret it how you wish and find different meanings. However, I believe there is a main intended meaning which in this case is talking about the use of cocaine. I don't know if he's talking about someone else or himself. I think it is about cocaine because I believe the motorcycle bit is a metaphor for getting high. Two jumps is getting high twice in one week - not two motorcycle jumps. "You'd kill yourself for recognition" refers to the idea that he is doing cocaine as it seems to get the user attention. Then look at "You broke another mirror", which clearly refers to cocaine and breaking it shows that he is getting worse and worse, enforced by the following "you're turning into something you are not". The next verse "all your insides fall to pieces" etc. is the effects of cocaine in the long term Reply to: Before you realized all this would eventually disappear. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/15/2007 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/6/2008 That's so true lol i feel exactly the same radiohead songs give improtant advice on how to live a happy life. i'm always looking forward to things in life and not cherishing what i have now but when the things i take for granted disappear il realise how lucky i've been. <3 radiohead i am high and dry | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/28/2007 its been 6 yrs wen the first time i heard this song, high and dry brought me back into life during highskul youth. this is great great song anf its relate on me a lot. radiohead please give me another song like this..alvin chua at Philippines To Me It's About....... | Reviewer: miss_ya@charter.net | 12/25/2007 "High & Dry" (to me) is about someone who had everything, maybe even fame. They thought everyone loved them and now where have they gone now that they aren't on top anymore? They just aren't around, forgot all about you. ALL you have to do is appreciate the "NOW" and "FEEL" it in your heart and soul." Live it, love it, and do everything in your power to cherish and SAVOR every moment and live life to the fullest and you'll have no regrets and it will ONLY get better... The "BEST" thing that you will ever have is NOW!!! CHERISH NOW AND THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER HAD WILL NEVER FADE!!!!!! The world will leave you high and dry and spit you out..... Now, does that really even matter? The best thing you've ever had is YOU!!!! My New Favorite Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/25/2007 Everytime I listen to this song I get a different meaning. Now I do think it's about someone he loved and lost and regrets..... Or maybe he doesn't know how to let himself be loved. i am high and dry | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/28/2007 its been 6 yrs wen the first time i heard this song, high and dry brought me back into life during highskul youth. this is great great song anf its relate on me a lot. radiohead please give me another song like this..alvin chua at Philippines Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 Review the song High and Dry The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics. | | ||||||||||||
