On the Wing
Awakening in Silence: On the Wing's Revelations
Lyrics
We've grown
We have matured or developed.
Should've known
It would have been better to be aware or knowledgeable.
All alone
Feeling isolated or on our own.
We wake
We become alert or conscious.
Single file
In a line, one after another.
Remembering how
Recalling past experiences or memories.
And all the while
During this reminiscence, and all the time.
We wait
We remain in anticipation.
I hear the warnings on the wing
Receiving cautionary messages while in flight.
I don't believe in anything
Expressing skepticism or lack of belief in everything.
Kept inside
Keeping emotions or thoughts concealed.
Afraid to rise
Being hesitant or fearful of progressing.
Foolish pride
Exhibiting irrational self-esteem.
We wait
Continuing to wait or stay in anticipation.
Off the trail
Straying from the expected path.
We eat our tails
Engaging in self-destructive behavior or consuming oneself.
I can't fail
Expressing confidence in not failing.
I wait
Waiting patiently.
And wait
Continuing to wait with a sense of time passing.
I hear the warnings on the wing
Receiving cautionary messages while in flight (repeated).
I don't believe in anything
Expressing skepticism or lack of belief in anything (repeated).
I hear the voices rise and sing
Hearing voices rise and sing.
But I don't believe in anything
Despite the singing voices, maintaining a lack of belief in anything (repeated).
Used to
Formerly, used to believe.
Believe in you
Believing in someone.
Yet all we do
However, all we engage in is waiting.
Is wait
Persisting in anticipation.
