Lyrics
He could've tuned in, tuned in
Feeling the potential to connect or engage.
But he tuned out
Becoming disengaged or disconnected.
A bad time nothing could save him
Experiencing a difficult period with no rescue in sight.
Alone in a corridor waiting locked out
Isolated, waiting, and feeling locked out from something.
He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles
Taking proactive steps to escape, running a great distance.
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
Reaching a destination (ocean), finding solace (smoke in a tree).
The wind rose up set him down on his knee
Nature (wind) having a profound impact, humbling the individual.
A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
A powerful and unexpected force (wave) hitting hard.
Delivered him wings "hey look at me now"
Overcoming challenges, gaining strength and freedom.
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Embracing newfound freedom, feeling empowered.
Oh power oh
An expression of awe and acknowledgment of personal strength.
He's flying
Metaphorically flying, experiencing a sense of liberation.
Whole, high wide, oh
Feeling complete, elevated, and expansive.
He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
Returning to reality to share newfound wisdom.
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
Willing to share insights that can break metaphorical chains.
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
Undergoing trials and challenges, facing adversity.
By faceless men, well, fuckers
Encountering obstacles represented by faceless adversity.
He still stands
Enduring difficulties, standing resilient despite challenges.
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
Continuing to give love despite past hardships.
The love he receives is the love that is saved
Receiving love in return, and the reciprocal nature of love.
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
Observing unusual or extraordinary occurrences.
A human being that was given to fly
Identifying oneself as a unique and liberated individual.
Flying
Reiterating the experience of flying and liberation.
Oh, oh
Expressing the joy and exhilaration of flying.
High flying
Reinforcing the elevated and liberated state.
Oh, oh
Continuing the expression of joy and freedom.
He's flying
Reiterating the act of flying as a metaphor for liberation.
Oh, oh
Continuing the expression of joy and freedom.
Oh, oh
Emphasizing the emotional intensity of the experience.
Oh, oh
Concluding with an expression of awe or wonder.
