Nickelback - Just To Get High [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
He was my best friend I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips his fingertips
Were melted to the bone

[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)

[Verse 2]
Three days no sleeping he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife on someone's wife
And held it to her throat

[Chorus]
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
Tell me what did where you gone and hid?
Show me is what you really want watching what you've got
Slowly!
Circling the drain throw it all away
Just to get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
High-igh ighoooooh!

(High-igh-igh-igh high-igh-igh-igh)
High
(High-igh-igh-igh high-igh-igh-igh)
High

[Chorus]
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh igh igh (high-igh igh igh)
Tell me what did where you gone and hid?
Show me is what you really want watching what you've got
Slowly!
Circling the drain throw it all away
Just to get high-igh igh igh igh
Just to get high-igh igh igh igh
Circling the drain throw it all away
Just to get high-igh igh igh igh
