Revealing the True Meanings Behind These Misunderstood Songs

‘Higher’ – Creed

Creed’s “Higher,” one of 1999’s biggest singles, has become the band’s hallmark song and is indicative of the post-grunge rock culture of the period. While the song appears to be about either a drug-induced high or (on the opposite end of the spectrum) Creed’s publicized Christianity, it is actually about neither. Instead, the song is about the concept of lucid dreaming, according to lead singer Scott Stapp.
