Chorus

(Yeah)

I've been living in slow motion

Hiding in all these emotions

Riding and a roller coasting

Just trying to find my new heights

And she told me come home and soak in

I been hiding off in the deep end

Just day after day a rolling

Just trying to find my new heights

Verse 1

I've been down so low just crawling on my face

(On my face)

And the time is getting slow living in a rat race

(Rat race)

It's that Tennessee time

And it always drags ass

(Drags ass)

And the years fly by

You just a sit and watch it pass

(Watch it pass)

And I feel it all with alcohol

It has me in my thoughts

And I'm in her raw

With one phone call

I'm tied just like a knot

And she let me rub her booty

So I let her steal my hoodie

It's not always about the money

Sometimes it's about the pussy

(Oh woah)

Chorus

Living in slow motion

Hiding all these emotions

(Yeah)

Riding and a roller coasting

Just trying to find my new heights

And she told me come home and soak in

I been hiding off in the deep end

Just day after day a rolling

Just trying to find my new heights

Meaning & Analysis

New Heights is about climbing out of a low period. The chorus describes "living in slow motion", hiding in his emotions and riding a roller coaster while trying to find new heights. The first verse is honest about the bottom: crawling on his face, the slow "Tennessee time" that drags while the years fly by, and leaning on alcohol. A relationship becomes a small escape (she steals his hoodie, he admits it's not always about the money). The message is that the climb is slow and messy, but he's still trying.

Lyric Annotations

I've been living in slow motion / Hiding in all these emotions

The chorus describes being stuck: life moving slowly while he hides inside his feelings.

It's that Tennessee time / And it always drags ass

The slow pace of life back home in Tennessee, where days drag but the years still fly by.

And I feel it all with alcohol

An honest admission of how he copes during the low point.

It's not always about the money / Sometimes it's about the pussy

A wink at his own money songs: sometimes it's about connection, not cash.

Just trying to find my new heights

The title line: climbing out of the bottom, slowly.
