Fly
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Exit Empire's 'Fly'
Lyrics
Another day (This is)
Expressing the start of another day.
Of being hold in this cage you've created
Feeling confined in a self-made cage.
Another night (Empire)
Beginning another night, referencing an empire.
Of cutting back my breath
Experiencing a restriction in breathing.
Nothing in common
No common ground or shared experiences.
Nothing to say
A lack of meaningful communication.
Hours of talking
Long past instances of extensive talking.
Were long time ago
Communication breakdown over time.
Another fight
Another conflict or argument.
I only wish you left
Wishing for separation from the conflict.
And I cannot sleep tonight
Insomnia due to emotional distress.
Cause you're tearing my wings apart
Feeling emotionally hurt, wings symbolizing freedom.
And you cannot feel my heart
Lack of understanding or empathy towards emotional pain.
Yet you want me to fly
Despite the pain, there is an expectation to soar or succeed.
You think it can't be done
Belief in the impossibility of success.
Yet you've seen it happen all around you
Observing success despite perceived impossibility.
Fear of failing
Fear of failure acting as a hindrance.
That's what holds you back
Fear preventing progress.
My mistakes
Personal mistakes leading to growth.
They made me grow
Highlighting personal development through errors.
Your mistakes
Partner's mistakes leading to a downfall.
They buried you deep
Partner's errors causing significant harm.
In the end
Ultimately, success boils down to overcoming mistakes.
That's really all it takes
Success is achievable with persistence.
And I cannot sleep tonight
Insomnia due to emotional turmoil persists.
Cause you're tearing my wings apart
Continued emotional distress affecting freedom.
And you cannot feel my heart
Lack of empathy despite emotional turmoil.
Yet you want me to fly
Despite pain, there's an expectation to succeed.
Fly
Expressing the desire to fly or achieve success.
Now you want me
Emphasizing the current desire for success.
Now you want me
-Now you want me
-Now you want me to fly
-This is
Reiteration of the empire theme.
Empire
Continued association with an empire.
Fly
Repetition of the desire to fly.
Fly
-And I cannot sleep tonight
Insomnia persists with a change in perspective.
Once so close, now cold on sight
Once close, now distant and cold.
And I cannot sleep tonight
Insomnia persists with emotional pain.
Cause you're tearing my wings apart
Emotional distress continues, impacting freedom.
And you cannot feel my heart
Lack of empathy despite ongoing emotional turmoil.
Yet you want me to
Despite pain, there's still an expectation to fly.
You want me to fly
-Fly
Reiteration of the desire to fly.
