Live High Jazon Mraz Song Meanings

Live High-Jazon Mraz

I try to picture a girl through a looking glass
And see her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl as her own new world
Though her home is on the surface she is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked, taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying the reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high, live mighty
Live righteously, taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

I try to picture the man to always have an open hand
And see him as a giving tree
And see him as matter, matter of fact he's not a beast
But oh not the devil either
He's always a good deed doer
Where it's laughter that we're making after all
The call of the world is still in order nation wide
In the order of the primates, all our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing gratitude, practicing their loving for you

Live high, live mighty
Live righteously, taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously

Just take it easy and celebrate the malleable reality
See there's nothing that's ever as it seems
This life is full of dreams

Live high, live mighty
Live righteously, taking it easy
Live high, live mighty
Live righteously


Song Meanings

1. The first verse is a beautiful introduction into this Mraz-esque view of perception and perspective. He sees this girl as all these things, just a jumble of carbon atoms (which is basically what we all are too) and at the same time this entire world (which we also know people to be) existing amongst all these other worlds. A very cool way of looking at people as more than just other runners of the rat race.
The rest seems to be the celebration of this realization that we're all worlds to ourselves, and worlds intertwining. We are so concerned with the 'why' that we don't seem to take enough time to appreciate that it simply is.
I particularly like his explanation of God "peeking through the blinds" as if He were just sort of watching us casually at a pleasant enough distance. I think the second verse ties into this religion idea where it seems like Jason is describing how he sees God.
I'm pretty sure he says "The call of the wild is still an order nation wide" which is to say that somewhere inside us we all still feel this communion with the world around us. We all feel, as hippie as it sounds, a connection with nature. I think he continues that kind of hippie idea into the next lines with "in the order of the primates, all our politics are too late" He's saying we have to realize that in the grander scheme of things we're grown up monkeys. Not in the literal sense of it, maybe, but we came from such humble beginnings even if you don't believe in evolution.
I like how he touches on religion but never makes it the centerpiece to the song, he makes life the religion really. He preaches this attitude of living proud of who you are and what you are. There's endless possibility if you're brave enough to chase after it.

2. I think this song is completely religious, and about God. I like the second verse best, because it's the most difficult. It's saying that the human race is good by nature (And see him as matter, matter of fact he's not a beast/But oh not the devil either/He's always a good deed doer). He backs this up by saying that it's laughter that we're making after all. By that, I think he means that we strive for laughter, and goodness, and good things. He then goes on to say that the call of the wild is still in order nationwide. I think that by that he means that there's a call for a utopia, (world peace, perfect world, you know the deal).
the next line perplexes me, but if i had to guess that he's comparing our politics to that of animals.... saying that our politicians are corrupt maybe?
The next two lines are about God, and how the congregations sing to him and praise him and tell him how much they love him.
I also have to say that I like the second stanza. It's basically saying, so what if life itself is an illusion? Life is a GREAT gift, and we should live high.
