hell or flying
Navigating Life's Shadows: Jeremy Zucker's 'Hell or Flying' Meaning
Lyrics
I'm petrified that you're dying by design
I'm afraid that you're intentionally facing a situation where you might suffer or die.
Waste every day until you're wasted and afraid
Spending each day without purpose until you are wasted and filled with fear.
I hope it doesn't hurt
Hoping that whatever you're going through doesn't cause you pain.
That I don't make it worse
I don't want to worsen your situation or feelings.
I'll always feel this far away
Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected and that feeling is persistent.
But I, I will lay down by your side
Expressing a commitment to be with you during difficult times.
I will keep an open eye while you stare into the sun
Remaining vigilant and watchful while you face challenges, symbolized by staring into the sun.
Promise me you're done
Asking for assurance that you won't continue with self-destructive behavior.
Promise me you're done
Repeating the plea for confirmation that self-destructive actions will cease.
I'm not surprised, or in love like I was last night
Expressing a lack of surprise or intense love compared to a previous night.
Hold down the floor, 'cause I'm not dancin' anymore
Choosing not to participate in joyous activities, possibly due to emotional reasons.
As long as I'm awake
Committing to facing the consequences of one's actions as long as consciousness persists.
I'll live with my mistakes
Accepting and living with past mistakes while being awake and aware.
I'll always feel this far away
Continuing to feel emotionally distant or disconnected, which is persistent.
But I, I will lay down by your side
Reiterating the commitment to be by your side during challenging times.
I will keep an open eye while you stare into the sun
Remaining vigilant and watchful, emphasizing the importance of facing challenges.
Promise me you're done
Seeking a promise that self-destructive behavior is concluded.
Promise me you're done
Repeating the request for assurance that self-destructive actions will cease.
Promise me you're done
Further emphasizing the plea for confirmation that self-destructive behavior is over.
Promise me you're done
Reiterating the request for assurance that self-destructive actions have ceased.
Promise me you're done, done, oh
Strongly urging and hoping for a definite end to self-destructive behavior.
Promise me you're done
Repeating the desire for a clear and final confirmation that self-destructive actions are done.
