“‘Very High’ centers around the desire to escape the embarrassment of day-to-day life as much as possible. From the lyrics to the video to the cover art of the album, it’s about struggling with something no one else sees: ‘I’ve been feeling very down, so I get very high,’” bandleader Ian Shelton says of the track.
