Lyrics
My ego's
Expressing a sense of self-importance or pride
Writing cheques
Engaging in actions that exceed one's capabilities
My body can't cash em and I ain't finished yet
Acknowledging past actions, not yet completed, and a desire to continue
You'll find me
Positioning oneself in an elevated or notable location
Flying high
Emphasizing a state of being exhilarated or triumphant
Why stay on the ground, you could be touching the sky
Encouraging others to aim high and achieve remarkable feats
I need the speed
Expressing a need for speed and excitement
I need that fly romancewhy do it slow when you can live it fast
Preferring a fast-paced and thrilling lifestyle over a slow one
I'll tell you now there ain't nothing wrong
Asserting that there's nothing inherently wrong with taking risks
With flying to close, flying to close to the sun
Acknowledging the consequences of daring greatly, possibly with a cautionary tone
A Maverick,
Identifying as a nonconformist, someone who challenges norms
Break the rules
Expressing a willingness to break established rules
I'll show you things they never teach you in school
Highlighting an unconventional approach to learning and experiencing life
I'm reckless,
Describing a lack of caution or restraint
Off the chain
Being unrestrained, possibly in behavior or actions
Turning and burning
Engaging in intense and passionate activities
I'll be kissing the flame
Accepting the consequences of risky behavior, akin to "kissing the flame"
I need the rush
Expressing a desire for excitement and adrenaline
I need the open air
Desiring freedom and a lack of constraints
You say I'm crazy I just don't really care
Indifferent to judgments or criticisms about one's perceived madness
I'll tell you now there ain't nothing wrong
Reiterating the acceptance of risks in pursuing one's desires
With flying to close, flying to close to the sun
Echoing the theme of the potential dangers of daring too much
There ain't no prize for coming second place
Stressing the all-or-nothing nature of the pursuit, with no reward for second place
It's all or nothing I ain't gonna change.
Commitment to maintaining one's chosen path without compromise
