Know Thyself through LYRICS:

“She’s So High” by Talmage Bachman:

She’s blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She’s touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound
But somehow I can’t believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing’s going to happen, yeah’Cause she’s so high
High above me
She’s so lovely
She’s so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
Da da-da da da
She’s so high
High above me

First class and fancy free
She’s high society
She’s got the best of everything
What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She’s perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?

‘Cause she’s so high
High above me
She’s so lovely
She’s so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
Da da-da da da
She’s so high
High above me

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
‘Cause what she says sounds so unreal
‘Cause somehow I can’t believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing’s going to happen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

‘Cause she’s so high
High above me
She’s so lovely
She’s so high
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite, oh yeah
She’s so high
High above me

This was on an album in 1999, there is a phrase for this feeling now:
Impostor syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism, is a psychological experience in which a person suffers from feelings of intellectual and/or professional fraudulence.[1] One source defines it as “the subjective experience of perceived self-doubt in one’s abilities and accomplishments compared with others, despite evidence to suggest the contrary”.[2]
By comparing a woman to the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, a French folk heroine and saint from the early 1400’s, and the ancient Greek goddess of love, Talmage Bachman has a rather aggrandized view of this individual he is ‘not good enough for’. If his description is accurate it is doubtful many humans would be worthy.
Have YOU ever felt this way? Looking back, how do you feel now about that person?
Do you think anyone has ever thought this way about YOU?
