Lyrics:
let this be our little secret
no one needs to know we're feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
but I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me
up and up we keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher - เพลง
This was part of the soundtrack to my life in the final months of high school. Class of ‘10. I can’t believe I’m actually nostalgic about the late 00s-Early 10s already.
Class of 10' also, definitely one of my faves from those days as well, that original Foster the People album too, us thinking we were the coolest little hipsters partying to this dancey indie music hah
Class of 09’ yup, I feel you lol
Yoooo class of 10' here too! dug this one randomly on spotify. Remember listening to this on repeat back in the day!!! 😭😭😭 Things were kinda rough back then but this song is so feel good, it made everything seem better!
That’s so wild I always saw this Omg as not that old but I was literally 3
You kids are lucky to have good music in and of your time. My generation just listened to Rock music from 10-20 years earlier, and if you did not, then you were called "Alternaitve" aka nice word for "Punk Rock".
Older, wiser, and changed. Can't believe the feeling of going back and listening to this, time really does fly by.
Higher & higher & higher
First concert I ever went to was a Passion Pit concert. I was really nervous about going and stood awkwardly at the front waiting for Michael to come on stage. He opened with this song and everyone started singing and jumping. That was when I realised that I was among friends and how much this music meant to people.
my first concert was them too
also my first concert, one of the best days of my life
Got chills from your comment! Enjoy friend
According to some annotations from Genius.com, Michael has had a history of mental disorders. This song talks about him abusing drugs When we was younger.
My first concert was Dave Mathews, and it was the best vibes I’ve ever experienced
Saddest song lyrically and most upbeat musically of all time.
I am always, always shocked at how few people realise just how devastating the subject matter of this song is. In fact the outward bubbly, soaring joyous nature of it - a mimicry of the insane, breathless but toxic highs of his addiction - is part of what makes it a fun but disturbing/heartbreaking listen. The songwriter really flexed his art with this one.
@@akinyiomer4589 so what is the song meaning
@@wewentolentino The lead singer is basically taking us on a very sad and very personal walk-through of one of the aspects of a relationship to heroin addiction. He's admitting how much he loves & needs the breathless highs, but he knows its costing him his life, health and family. Feel free to Google the lyrics while you read this!
The first part of verse 1 is kind of him describing the surreal agony of a come-down ("walls were crumbling, fists shaking with these salty wounds"). And then after the comedown, comes the self-loathing ("I built this cardboard neighbourhood's disgrace". He's using a pretty powerful metaphor: some homeless addicts live in what some people call 'cardboard neighbourhoods', and he's saying he thinks *he's* the most disgraceful thing in that neighbourhood. That's intense.) What's amazing is that immediately after he admits feeling like shit, and how he's not proud of himself, he's immediately "ascending the feverish highs". And what's even sadder is that he's admitting he's helpless against serving his addictions needs, and the way he views life now which in turn further fuels the need, the next verse. He knows it's all messed up but its "its the way I see, everything I need, it's no way to be".
And then the chorus is a punch in the face because the music is so beautiful and joyous, with the harmonies and the childrens choir with their innocent voices. Even his voice literally *soaring* in its falsetto as if its climbing or soaring above the sky.
"Let this be our little secret" - so cheeky, so light as if he's not talking about an eviscreating subject. And then the "higher and higher" part ... basically he's being honest about that intense, otherworldly freeing happiness and high that you get from using - what a lot of addicts says is one of the most dangerous parts of some drugs to them - that you feel so blissful and beautiful. (Its not like this for all users of all substances, but I've heard meth & heroin users say this).
Verse 2 goes on to walk us through the remaining experience of the high, and the descriptions used are so loving and wonderful - even though again hes talking about being out of his mind to the point of oblivion, where oblivion could also mean the end of his life. I love the surreal part about the citrus (lemon juice is sometimes used by heroin addicts to increase intensity of the high).
Following the lyrics in the bridge, all the way from "Watch the basin drain ... Your whole family's name". Pretty self-explanatory description of him going through the using rituals at the sink, being aware of the danger to his health and feeling pain because he feels he's dishonoured his family.
Theres still some verses left, but I've talked enough! Once you have an understanding of the above you'll see where he's going with the last verse about knowing how helpless/powerless his mother feels, and how he's helpless too because even though he knows it's all awful and bad, he's way past caring: "I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars". That's pretty powerful because that's one of the "shame" barriers that some addicts initially try to hide from others cause of the stigma. But dude is way past that. I could talk about this song forever!
@@akinyiomer4589 thank you. damn heroin is that nasty
@@wewentolentino Michael the lead singer was diagnosed with Bipolar at the age of 18 so it really can be about the episodes he experiences, where the feeling of mania gets higher inside him being his own little secret. "Have you ever felt so good damn strong, how come it takes some people so long". Yeah the whole album of manners is mostly about his struggle with the disorder. Love this band lol
This used to be my best friend's favorite song. He has passed now but it still brings to mind his smiling face. It's such a happy song :)
Sorry for your loss
+Donna Clark happy that this song can do that for you!
+Donna Clark hope your friend is friends with the light
+Donna Clark Wish you were here does it every time for me.
+Donna Clark Rip
I really love the vocals. They have a very unusual style, and the song as a whole makes me feel happy, higher, as the lyrics say. I cant express just how much I love this song.
I love how fucking happy and uplifting this song is and then you find out it's about someone ruining his and his family's lives through his heroin addiction. Passion Pit is incredible
Well, he did just come out.
Higher and higher and higher....
+I like narwhals i like norwals too.
+I like narwhals fucking take a walk fucked me up bc i was like oh this cute and then the lyrics hit me like a bag of bricks
+Selin Pinardag your comment makes no sense.
what are you trying to express?
Passion Pit is one of the funnest and most unique sounding bands of all time.
OMG, what octave is he singing in!? His voice is insane!
IKR
He's singing in his falsetto
Heavenly isn't it?!
It's called auto tune
@@chrisspearline767 You have no clue what auto tune actually does do you?
This song is crazy happy. Reminds me of being on X after a huge party in NYC with my friends... great times, had a total blast, everyone happy feeling good, and most of all, being kind to everyone else... But when you get down to it.. you are who you are inside, some things just excentuate the feeling.
This music has been my phone's ringtone for so long. I love how upbeat it it
Shout out to Mr. Breinberg for creating connections and PS.22 for the Chorus of this song. Thank you Passion Pit for the opportunity. I remember these days. Our chorus was the most popular in the east coast!
Hopefully I can come back to this vid in a few years time, cry from nostalgia😂 , remember how amazing passion pit is and see this comment
+Megan Smith best hopes for you ^^
+Megan Smith Happened to me today man! I used to drive around with my brother blasting passion pit in high school but now I moved and he is off to college. Its a crazy feeling man!
I'm already crying from nostalgia, I think it's about a year since I heard this song. Such a classic.
Just happened to me haven't listened to passion out since 2011 feeling amazing omg
hello (:
Core memory unlocked
I'd really like to hear this guy's speaking voice.

Passion pit is absolutely amazing live. This was their last song that they played. Most incredible experience ever.
I may not have known Passion Pit before LittleBigPlanet, but I'm glad I heard them in LBP. They are amazing, and I'm not ashamed to say a video game made me love this band
This song is like the sweetest little thing that makes your day.
Spotify brought me here..and must I say, I am late ASFF this song is bomb!😭💯👏👏🔥
Welcome home
Hey, at least you found it!
Important thing is made it
their music must be extremely magical to make people sooo happy the way it did in the video . Ive watched five of their videos now .... and I cant stop smiling . They've made me happy =)
I went through a really rough patch around when this album came out. My soon to be brother-in-law gave me this album and I just played it start to finish on repeat whenever I drove anywhere. I had no idea who the band was, never looked them up, wasn't sure if they were well known or not - this is the first time I've ever seen the video. This was a huge departure from music I had listened to before and it was really something special for me. I still drive around to it sometimes, I'm in a much better place, but it's sometimes nice to remember how far you've come.
I was one of the kids that sang for the hook!!
DJ Escabar "liar you liar you lair, liar you liar you liar" lol jk
really
if you ain’t lying that’s fuckin cool
I can confirm, I was the microphone
Cool
I can never get tired of this song!
Just here to remind you this song still exists incase you forgot
He's most likely referring to the extremes of bipolar disorder/bipolar when he says "higher and higher and higher". It used to be referred to as manic depression but has been classified as an emotional disorder. Bipolar disorder consists of mania and depression though. Mania is the extreme emotional "high" you get, and it's hard to differentiate between mania and actual happiness. Mania can also cause you to make irrational decisions/have irrational feelings and intense anger. You also experience a pretty severe drop from mania. It's not about drugs.
Caity Castro its clearly about shooting haroine and loving it to he point hes not ashamed of it...i take it youve never seen the steps involved when shooting or the scars it leaves when you do it that much, do a search on how to shoot up and it will be clear...but people interpret music differently
Just saying but really, this song is about drugs... michael said so himself plus the song was made before michael had come out about his disorder and still wasnt ready to hint it to the public.
If you want to experience manic depression, try sleep deprivation. After a whole day I usually end up talking to everyone and feeling hyped as fuck until I crash and just go to sleep for another day.
its not that much of a secret what bipolar disorder is lol either way it seems like it speeks towards both since people with bipolar disorder are tended towards bad habits like addiction.im not sure what it was orginally intended towards but it ia an interesting interpertation either way
Passion Pit is the best electronica/indie pop band ever!
This song will never get old!
Probably the best album Passion Pit has had the opportunity to make
2020 and this song is still total gold! Future classic...
this song always makes me so happy!!!! the "higher and higher" part always makes me so happy idk why lol
I might have heard of this already before but I never really bothered to look for this song until recently... And boy, do I regret living life for years without having this on my playlist. Such a nice song.
After ten years i come back to this song... nostalgia!
The nostalgia just hit me square in the face
I'm playing MLB 11 The Show on ps2 on an emulator and heard this and was. "Ya.. this ain't bad!...."
Best song from that soundtrack
fax bro @@SharksSJ408
I’m here because I’m 34 and was very much a conscious adult when I first heard this album and it’s really good so im paying it a lil visit
Ha ha same.
I remember chilling with my big bro and him playing this song, I was only 9 so I didnt know the song..here I am 13 and he tells me the name of the song today..Good ole days cx
+AuraKiller47 noice
This song got me addicted to these guys ^^
+Anime Lover yeah me too since I heard it in test drive :)
+Anime Lover SAME XD

I remember my art teacher in 8th grade showed us the m.v of this song and had us create an album cover. Good times, Good music. 👍🏻
six years ago? man time flies. ;3;
this song got me through some pretty dark times in college. still evokes a sense of hope til this day.
I really miss the 2010’s when people didn’t hate each other so much like they do now.
me too man, love ya.
my favorite song right now^^^ it makes me happy to be young and unpredictable but also look forward to having more responsibility and maturity later on in my life and, enjoy the little things!
How do you feel now?
He probably committed suicide :(
This song for some reason makes me feel happy inside and it's like nothing matters :)
Song of the decade!!!

For some reason, this song, just raises my spirits higher and higher and higher XD

Dude's got some incredible stage presence. And hair. He's got great hair.
I had no idea this song had a music video.
Someone used it in a skateboarding part and I was obsessed with passion pit after that!
How have I only just discovered this in 2021? 😂
Is anyone actually here because they like Passion Pit?
Michael Bunn Me :"v
Michael Bunn me
Michael Bunn was this song used in anything????
No clue
Why what else would they be here for?
The beat of this song. Just.... *heavenly music*
Oh my god. I remember the song sleepyhead being used for that one car commercial, and I dug it, thought it was catchy, but never payed the group any attention. But wow! Have I been missing out. Such happy, catchy, joy filled songs these guys are putting out. New fav! ^_^
Passion pit reminds me of highschool, specifically smoking funny things and skipping class. Classic.
His voice just keeps on getting higher and higher and higher
I cannot feel happier than when listening to this song.
When I came down the dawn poured into me
I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
Within the confines of such chemistry
It's the way I see
Everything I need
It's no way to be
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
My face blew up at such a casual sight
The smattered colors of ecstatic fright
The rush above me to oblivion
Outlining wet…
I sang it, thank you
My lyrics are the real secret lyrics
Just discovered this band by accident. Fell in love within the first three seconds. And then I heard his voice and had to cross my legs a bit. Best band ever.
This was my fun song through out 8th grade :) and tight pants body rolls of course
I was in 8th grade too
dex.205 that's why it's so great:')
sbstek no
Haha usually not a fan of this type of music but the album was great.
+King Polo Same here! I usually listen to rock and heavy metal but Passion Pit is a great band.
same i usually love edm and trap music:)
King Polo I like every type of music besides pop country and country,so I like all passion pit albums
King Polo kid In Whole Foods: mommy what’s that sound?
Mom: shh

Awesome song and awesome game!
Welcome to the Solar Crown!

Pretty much
A lot happens in the back of Whole Foods, check for yourself ;)
Yes, but that's our little secret
Didn't think I'd ever find this song! So happy I've found it!
It works well in TDU2
My favorite song from them.
SuperBlablablaxxx mine is Lifted Up
When I came down the dawn poured into me
I shook'em up, the walls came crumbling
My fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
My stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
Now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
But I ascend and serve my feverish need
Within the confines of such chemistry
Its the way I see
Everything I need
Its no way to be
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
My face blew up at such a casual sight
The spattered colors of ecstatic fright
The rush above me to oblivion
Outlining wet sidewalks with halogen
Oh have you ever felt so goddamned strong
How come it takes some people so damn long
He turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
The citrus drawing out the scene in stains
Watch the basin drain
As your life lines wane
And you cant explain
As your friends complain
You've caused all this pain
And you proudly shame
Your whole families name
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Mother I can tell what you've been thinking
Staring at the stars on your ceiling
Thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
And now I've hit the mark
Staring at the dark
And I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars
Let this be our little secret
No one needs to know we're feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up and keep on climbing
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
secret code
This song reminds me of the hot sunny summers when the world felt before me…. now 35 it feels like being the middle child between 2 generations… but on the bright side we have 3 living generations of music to choose from
I listened to this song when I was coming to terms with coming out to my friends and family and it SAVED ME. That was four or five years ago and I was surprised when I found out Michael was married to a woman because this song was so clearly about queerness in the face of the status quo? Really glad that today we can rejoice in the fact that Michael's little secrets are over with.
+Alexander Paris WTF this song is about drugs, literally!
+Beto McKnight ohhhh.
LMAO!!!!!!!!
+Beto McKnight thing about art though is that it can be interpreted in different ways, and they took that message from it, so I don't think he's wrong.
+Alexander Paris Poetry is subjective, it is whatever you want it to be.
first passion pit song :D love it
I’ve been looking for this song forever
My most favorite song I still don't know the words to. That's perfectly ok, I feel good how I sing it. Its a secret.
Little Secrets indeed Michael ;)
.
God this just brings back memories of better days. Going on a passion pit binge
I love passion pit!!!!
why on earth did twelve year old me think they only had one good song I love this band
Wow, this is great! Catching up on blog entries by K. Perry from years ago, and she recommended it back then, why didn't I know this? Really love this track :)
esta cancion se la dedique a mi novio, la cantamos y lloramos juntos !
I was smoking my weed and listening to this song and I got higher and higher and higher😭😭😭
I remember working in Oakley in 2009 - 2010 and this would always play
Anyone listening to this in 2020? ?
No
Meee
Oh hell ya
Why of course
Nah bro
Man I’m never getting my childhood back am I
Dude you made me cry
We can do this
Don't ever lose your dinosaur
Tdu 2 memories!
So many in the comments saying how happy this song makes them, yet when you sit and actually read the lyrics, its actually quite a sad song about a heroin addict not being able to give up his addiction despite everyone around him begging.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that years and years ago. Good ear man, I always guessed it was dope he was talking about for some reason.
Listen to that falsetto. We knew, Michael. ;)
17 years old, 3am, drunk as hell wallking home coming back from a crazy night with friends, this song pumping on earphones...yesterday was my 30yo bithday...time flyes!
Hipster music at its finest
Trying to make sense of this video, is like trying to get up, out of a comfortable hotel bed.
Their voices are magical
Thank you VEVO!
I’m here for Passion Pit in 2024!!!!!
missing 2010 today. passion pit will always be one of my all time favorites
Ahhh those days of nostalgia ,when passion pits songs would be played in animax tracks ,fell in love with this band the first time I listened to it
AMO DEMAIS ESSA MUSICA!
"How high do you want this song to make you feel?"
Michael: *"yes"*
1:11 this part gives me life
For everyone that thinks this song is about drugs heres my take on it:
I feel that it's pretty much about coming out of the closet. "Painting Rainbows across my ugly face against this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace" can be seen as going against the mold of the non-progressive neighborhood and embracing the rainbow. "Within the confines of such chemistry" can be seen as a blow to the old argument that being gay goes against human nature and chemistry. "But I feel alive and I feel it in me" talks about how even though he will hide it and people don't want to see him this way, he still knows who he is on the inside.
"Oh have you ever felt so goddamn strong, how come it takes some people so damn long" talks about how he feels good about the way he is, but he doesn't understand why others take so long to accept him even though he himself is happy about it. "Watch the basin drain as your life lines wane and you can't explain as your friends complain you've caused all this pain and you proudly shame your whole families name" remarks how he is losing a lot being this way. His family and friends don't like the fact that he is gay, but he doesn't care what they think.
"Mother I can tell what you've been thinking staring at the stars on your ceiling thinking once there was a power that you were wielding" has a line about the stars on her ceiling, which can be seen as a symbol for the plastic stars on kids ceilings, and how she feels she has lost her son. She doesn't know where she went wrong.
It would be nice to hear other peoples take on it! :)
But he's not gay he has a wife....
tumblrglitterr He is not singing about his life, but about the lives of people who can't express themselves for who they are(Homosexuals).

Jesus man, not every songwriter writes every song about themselves. Max Bemis from Say Anything constantly writes songs that are from the perspective of someone else.
I think it's about drugs... What else could the reference to lemon juice mean?
I listened a few more times. I was wrong; its about drugs.
