Creed-higher

When dreaming

꿈을 꿀 때면
I'm guided through another world

난 또 다른 세상으로 인도 받아요
Time and time again

해가 떠오를때면
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep

난 언제나 잠에서 깨어나지 않으려 애를 써요
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

평온함이 가득한 그 곳을 떠나고 싶지 않기 때문이죠
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape from the life I live when I'm awake

잠에서 깨어나면 내가 사는 이 곳을 떠나고픈 바램과 갈망을 느끼기 때문이에요

(chorus )
So let's go there

그러니, 그 곳으로 가요
Let's make our escape

우리 여기서 벗어나요
Come on, let's go there

자, 어서 그곳으로 가요
Let's ask can we stay?

여기 머물러야 하나요?
Can you take me higher?

날 데려다 줄래요?
To a place where blind men see

맹인도 앞을 볼 수 있는 그런 고귀한 곳으로
Can you take me higher?

날 데려다 줄래요?
To a place with golden streets

황금빛 거리가 펼쳐진 그런 곳으로...

Although I would like our world to change

내가 이 세상이 바뀌기를 바라지만
It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams

(내가 꾸는) 그런 꿈들에 감사해요
But, my friend,

하지만, 친구
I'd sacrifice all those nights

난 내꿈을 포기할 수 있어요
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same

만약 이 세상이 내가 꾼 꿈과 똑같이 될 수만 있다면요
The only difference is To let love replace all our hate

유일한 차이는 사랑으로 우리의 증오를 대신하게 하는거죠

(chorus )
 

So let's go there

그러니, 그 곳으로 가요
Let's make our escape

우리 여기서 벗어나요
Come on, let's go there

자, 어서 그곳으로 가요
Let's ask can we stay?

여기 머물러야 하나요?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

저 높은 곳에서는 처음으로 살아 있음을 느껴요
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams And make them mine

저 높은 곳에서 난 그 꿈들을 간직하고 내 것으로 만들 수 있을 정도로 강인해 져요

Can you take me higher?

날 데려다 줄래요?
To a place where blind men see

맹인도 앞을 볼 수 있는 그런 고귀한 곳으로
Can you take me higher?

날 데려다 줄래요?
To a place with golden streets

황금빛 거리가 펼쳐진 그런 곳으로...

"Higher" is the first single to be lifted from Creed's 1999 album, Human Clay. Vocalist Scott Stapp actually wrote the song about the power of lucid dreaming.[1]

The song was written after Stapp used the technique to stop a recurring nightmare he had been experiencing in which he was pursued and killed by a gunman. In the dream, he would turn left at the end of a highway and hide under a bridge, only to be found by his assailant and shot. When he had studied lucid dreaming and tried the technique, he was able to turn right and escape the gunman. Stapp stated that after he wrote the lyrics, he never had the dream again. "Higher" was Creed's major breakthrough hit which helped to place them firmly in the US pop music mainstream. It peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in mid 2000, and spent a staggering 57 weeks upon the survey, topping both the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock tallies in the process, as well as charting in the top five on the Adult Top 40.

The song appeared in the feature film The Skulls and was used in the theatrical trailer for Titan A.E.

The song placed at #95 on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs in 2009.
