Josh Carter: “'You Don’t Get Me High Anymore' is kind of about this feeling of everything being redundant and nothing being good enough. Metaphorically, it’s about addiction. It’s also about certain things that we see in culture, pop culture, and even music that we find redundant, that we’ve always kind of strayed away from as a group." Sarah Barthel: "Yeah, it also taps into this idea of wanting to feel something. Basically, wanting to feel something strong and doing whatever it takes to feel it again, because you know it feels good and you miss it... My sister passed away during the process of the record, of suicide. And also Josh is best friends with her as well, so it hit very close to home, obviously, for the both of us. But that motivated us. We kind of wanted to put some stronger inspiration of Bowie in there and Prince, as well. Kind of a crazy fucking year for all of our heroes to pass." bit.ly
