Higher Naked

Higher Naked
[Chorus] Higher, higher Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight... Higher, higher (Higher, higher, higher) Tonight we raise the dead Tonight we bury this in fire, fire Under the shape of years And the weight that brought us here [Outro] Better believe the sea of changes And put these battered bones to rest Nothing invisible or nameless Leave no reason to confess And raise our voices Higher, higher

Released as the first single from the group’s third album Simple Forms , the song is a synth-laden, power charged anthem with a shout-along chorus they have made their trademark .
The band revealed in interviews at the time of its release that the song (along with remainder of the album) was in jeopardy of not being made, due to strain on the band stemming from the breakdown of an eight-year relationship between band co-founders Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers. In the face of the possibility of the band splitting up as a result, they instead channeled their heartbreak and emotions into the music itself. Said Xayalith to Consequence of Sound :
There’s pain and passion behind this art. Pop techniques are all about maximum impact. And it’s not like this is an album of bangers but it’s the most immediate thing we’ve ever done."
The song’s lyrics echo this statement, dealing with such themes as redemption, owning pain and learning from the experience it provides, and using this experience to better yourself and foster a heightened sense of being.
It’s been two years since we came off the road and a lot of life has happened in and all around us. We’ve been broken here and picked ourselves up again—so maybe this chorus talk a little to that experience…love, grief, time passing and returning to a place where we are lucky to have each other
- Alisa Xayalith

A song about channeling heartbreak and loss into new avenues

The Naked And Famous have a tendency to write heavily synth charged anthems. Higher takes each verse directly into a refrain that's almost shouted each time it's sung, with each new obstacle or stumbling block that should trip them instead serving to "raise our voices higher, higher". Rather than the "sea of changes", the "battered bones", or the "weight that brought us here" battering hopes, they can paradoxically elevate purpose and lift spirits. Raising a voice higher almost hints at prayer, of channeling hardship and enduring a little pain with the shared burden of a higher power.
Higher was written at a time when the band was about to split up. The completion of the song and the album Simple Forms is like a representation of the meaning of the lead single on the album: even heartache can become more than just pain.
