Fly
Embracing Redemption: Nick Drake's Poetic Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Please give me a second grace
Request for a second chance or opportunity.
Please give me a second face
Asking for a new identity or persona.
I've fallen far down
Expressing a significant fall or decline.
The first time around
Reflecting on a previous experience or attempt.
Now I just sit on the ground in your way
Being in a subdued or defeated state, possibly in someone else's path.
Now if it's time to recompense for what's done
Considering the need to make amends for past actions.
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
Inviting someone to join in contemplation, possibly in a relaxed setting.
And the clouds will roll by
Referencing a natural passing of time with the movement of clouds.
And we'll never deny
Committing to a truthful stance, acknowledging reality.
It's really too hard for the fly
Describing a challenging situation, using the metaphor of a fly facing difficulty.
Please tell me your second name
Requesting additional personal information, seeking deeper connection.
Please play me your second game
Asking for engagement or participation in another aspect of life.
I've fallen so far
Acknowledging a profound descent or emotional decline.
For the people you are
Falling for the qualities or characteristics of someone.
I just need your star for a day
Expressing a need for guidance or inspiration from the person.
So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay
Inviting someone to share a journey or experience.
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
Expressing a desire to understand someone's true nature or essence.
And the sea sure as I
Comparing the constancy of the sea to the person's reliability.
But you won't need to cry
Assuring that there's no need for sorrow or distress.
For it's really too hard for the fly
Reiterating the difficulty faced, possibly emphasizing the challenge.
