This song delves into the isolating consequences of superficial validation. Sigrid critiques individuals who surround themselves with yes-men and sycophants, thus creating an environment devoid of genuine connection or truthful feedback. The protagonist is portrayed as someone who revels in the limelight but is left lonely and unsupported once the metaphorical "show" is over. The repeated phrase "that high five is all you got" signifies the emptiness of fleeting admiration compared to meaningful relationships. Sigrid highlights the emotional void that comes from relying on shallow praise and the predictable loneliness that ensues. Ultimately, the lyrics serve as a poignant reminder of the value of authentic interactions over hollow affirmations.
High Five
Lyrics
Nobody dares to speak against your word
So they just sit quiet
Do what you want, who cares if you get hurt?
No, I don't know why you wonder why
Wonder why, wonder why
You're surrounded by the type of people
That never say what you don't wanna hear
So they just stay quiet
Oh, everybody loves a show
Lights on, they all go home
You won't let anybody close
That high five is all you got
Ooh, they keep saying you're the best
You ask and they say, "Yeah"
Ooh, when you add up all that's left
That high five is all you got
You say it's hard, feel sorry for yourself
And I don't know why you
You take it out on everybody else
No, I don't know why you wonder why
Wonder why, wonder why
You're alone at night, when they're all up on ya
You know I tried, but you won't call me back
So I just stay quiet
Ooh, everybody loves a show
Lights on, they all go home
You won't let anybody close
That high five is all you got
Ooh, they keep saying you're the best
You ask and they say, "Yeah"
Ooh, when you add up all that's left
That high five is all you got
Oh, oh, oh, right
Don't you get tired of looking for high fives?
Oh, oh, oh, right
Don't you get tired of looking for high fives?
Oh, oh, oh, right
Don't you get tired of, don't you get tired of
And you wonder why, wonder why
No one's by your side, by your side
When the room goes quiet
Ooh, everybody loves a show
Lights on, they all go home
You won't let anybody close
That high five is all you got
Ooh, they keep saying you're the best
You ask and they say, "Yeah"
Ooh, when you add up all that's left
That high five is all you got
