about

Foreign Monkeys’ powerful forth single of the year is ironically called “High”. The main riff of the song was written back in 2007 but has not made it into a release until now.

The lyrics provide an insight into the depression many feel banking on in the autumn triggered by the fewer hours of sunlight. It is well expressed in the key phrase of the song: “I Feel Good Enough to Keep on Being Messed Up”. It is therefore well suited to release this powerful rock anthem into the dark autumn days ahead.

lyrics

Disappeared
to a remote island
Offline
down, gone and out

Given in
to addictive behaviour
Within
my own fictive sympathy

I feel good enough
to keep on being messed up
no one to call my bluff
won’t be thinking it through
I feel good enough
to keep on being messed up
no one to call my bluff
no matter what I do

Slidin’ down
not yet hit the bottom
Hope’s been lost
found in Sodom

Original Sin
left on me for others
Torn skin
dipped in tar and feathers
