My first thoughts when I first heard the song Stay High by Tove-Lo were (in chronological order):
1) This reminds me of my relationship with sugar.
2) It also reminds me of my relationship with God. That’s weird.
3) I could really go for a donut right now.
I'm assuming you've heard the song - don't YouTube it. The video is awful and the remixes aren't much better. You have to find a very toned down cover to get away from the raunchy lyrics. Even so, Stay High could be the spiritual anthem for many people I know. I know it seems like it's about one night stands and drugs. Jesus knows it's deeper.
We're all trying to stay high, regardless of our addiction. We're all trying to feel good, to get by, to distract ourselves from disappointment. This isn't always unhealthy - to get our mind off of what we can't change - but sometimes we turn from something bad.... only to turn to something worse.
