The flowers of my dreams,
I smell their fragrance in my memories.
On my own tongue, I become my own honey.
Wearing clouds like wings,
I take off and fly away.
Losing myself, I become a whole new me.
Oho, in this blowing white breeze,
as my breath threatens to leave me,
I wove clothes from the fire of my body,
and locked it safe inside.
In that faded sky,
just like a rainbow,
you brought color into my life,
and I fell in love with you.
Against my chest,
in that moment your breath flows over me,
from the corner of the eye, a teardrop,
I saw it fall.
Yeah... yeah yeah yeheeyeh
In this blowing white breeze,
as my breath threatens to leave me,
I wove clothes from the fire of my body,
and locked it safe inside.
In that faded sky,
just like a rainbow,
you brought color into my life,
and I fell in love with you.
Like the silence on snow-covered mountains,
you lived your life,
until the day I arrived.
I struck like a storm,
hurled flashes of lightning,
and chattered away like pouring rain.
Dripping down the branches of a tree,
a raindrop,
before hitting the ground,
freezes in mid-air;
just like that, every single word you speak,
I watched it freeze still.
Do not lock this feeling away
inside that little word called 'love'.
In this blowing white breeze,
as my breath threatens to leave me,
I wove clothes from the fire of my body,
and locked it safe inside.
In that faded sky,
just like a rainbow,
you brought color into my life,
and I fell in love with you.
Against my chest,
in that moment your breath flows over me,
from the corner of the eye, a teardrop,
I saw it fall.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'High On Love' portrays an intoxicating, dreamlike state of romance and deep emotional ecstasy. The protagonist describes feeling weightless and losing her ego in the sheer happiness of loving her partner, who brought vibrant colors to her previously bland and faded world. The lyrics contrast the quiet, peaceful nature of the lover with the whirlwind, passionate energy of the protagonist, comparing their dynamic to a storm hitting a serene snow-capped mountain. Ultimately, it expresses that the profundity of their connection transcends conventional boundaries and cannot be confined to just a simple word like 'love'.
