Silver Wings
Flight of Farewell: Silver Wings' Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Silver wings gleaming brightly in the sun's rays
Roarin' engines headed somewhere in flight
Loud engines of an aircraft flying towards a destination
They're takin' you away, leaving me lonely
The aircraft is taking someone away, leaving the speaker feeling isolated and desolate
Silver wings slowly fadin' out of sight
The shining silver wings are gradually disappearing from view
Don't leave me, I'll cry
The speaker pleads emotionally not to be left alone and to avoid taking the flight
Don't take that airplane ride
An emotional plea to avoid departing on the airplane
But you locked me out of your mind
Expresses feeling rejected or ignored by the person leaving, as they are not mentally present or attentive
Left me standin' here behind
Feeling abandoned or left behind by the departing individual
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Repetition of the initial description of the shining silver wings in the sunlight
Roarin' engines headed somewhere in flight
Reiteration of the loud engines of the plane heading somewhere
They're takin' you away, leaving me lonely
Emphasizes the sense of loneliness resulting from the departure of the person on the plane
Silver wings slowly fadin' out of sight
Repetition of the imagery of the silver wings gradually disappearing from view
Don't leave me, I'll cry
Reiteration of the emotional plea not to be left alone
Don't take that airplane ride
Repeated plea to avoid taking the airplane journey
But you locked me out of your mind
Expresses feeling shut out or ignored by the departing individual's thoughts
Left me standin' here behind
Continued feeling of being abandoned or left behind
Silver wings shinin' in the sunlight
Repetition of the initial imagery of the shining silver wings
Roarin' engines headed somewhere in flight
Reiteration of the sound of the engines of the plane headed somewhere
They're takin' you away, leaving me lonely
Reaffirms the sense of loneliness due to the departure of the person on the plane
Silver wings slowly fadin' out of sight
Repetition of the image of the silver wings slowly disappearing from sight
Silver wings slowly fadin' out of sight
Final repetition emphasizing the gradual fading of the silver wings from view
