Wheels Up
Wheels Up: Unveiling Emotional Takeoff in Matt Marks' Melody
Lyrics
Runnin' from the truth you'll pull a hamstring
Running away from the truth can lead to self-inflicted harm or consequences.
Baby I don't think you learned a damn thing
Expressing doubt that the person has gained any meaningful insight or knowledge.
Plane is taking off and never landing
Metaphorically describing a departure with no return, indicating a one-way journey.
Choice is made I leave you where your standing
A decision has been made to leave the other person in their current state or situation.
Wheels up, baby I'm healed up
Symbolizing emotional healing or moving on from a situation.
(Get ready for takeoff)
An invitation to prepare for a significant change or departure.
I was not demanding I just wanted reciprocity
Clarifying that the speaker wasn't asking for much, just mutual give-and-take.
Holding hope but my patience has lost velocity
While hopeful, the speaker's patience has waned over time.
Wish you made the time to realize the deepest hypocrisy
Expressing a desire for the other person to recognize their own contradictions.
Said I made you safe and then decided that it was not with me (that's fine though)
The other person felt safe initially, but their feelings changed without clear reasons.
I set a boundary I'm honored that you respected
Setting a boundary and appreciating the other person's respect for it.
Least we could've done if we squandering this connection
Regret over wasted potential in the relationship due to miscommunication or neglect.
Nothing malicious just confident misdirection
Assuring that actions were not meant to harm, just a result of misplaced focus.
Cause you know how I feel it's been written in these confessions
Referencing previous confessions that have communicated the speaker's emotions.
I see you've grown and I been proud of your progression
Acknowledging the other person's personal growth but still having unresolved questions.
But baby I still got so many questions
Despite progress, the speaker is curious and uncertain about the other person's feelings.
I don't need any answers
Expressing contentment with not having all the answers, finding mystery appealing.
The mystery is part of your allure
Highlighting the enigmatic quality of the person as part of their attractiveness.
Like when I was sitting quiet
Recalling a moment of silence while the other person was emotionally distressed.
While you crying on the floor
Describing a supportive role during the other person's vulnerable moments.
I always held the space always opened up my door
Consistently providing emotional support by keeping a figurative door open.
Unless you told me to lock it cause I would tell you of course
Being receptive unless explicitly told otherwise, emphasizing communication.
I wouldn't change a thing and I truly don't have remorse
No regrets about past actions, expressing acceptance and authenticity.
I fathom half of imagined marriage end in divorce
Suggesting skepticism about the success of marriages, potentially influenced by personal experience.
Runnin' from the truth you'll pull a hamstring
Reiteration of the idea that avoiding the truth can lead to negative consequences.
Baby I don't think you learned a damn thing
Repeating the sentiment that the other person hasn't learned or changed.
Plane is taking off and never landing
Reemphasizing the departure theme, highlighting the irreversible nature of the choice.
Choice is made I leave you where your standing
Reiterating the decision to leave the other person in their current state.
Wheels up, baby I'm healed up
Confirming emotional healing or moving on from the past.
It's wheels up
Finalizing the departure with "wheels up," indicating readiness for a new chapter.
