Lyrics
On the Wind
Expression of movement or travel through the wind
To the ocean I lost my soul, beat-up car does the job you know
Feeling of losing oneself or a part of oneself in the vastness of the ocean; relying on a beat-up car for transportation
Blue flame paint, drinks more oil than gas alright
Description of a car with blue flame paint that consumes more oil than gas
Weatherman says the chips are down
Indication of a negative forecast or circumstances by a weather report
I've got cold dark coffee and a new skoal can
Having cold dark coffee and a new can of Skoal smokeless tobacco; being prepared for the journey
Gear in the back and the town is out of sight
Having gear in the car's back and leaving the town behind, possibly heading towards an adventure or escape
It's firing, we dive in, here come the turning of the tide, hit it again
Sense of readiness and determination to engage despite challenges, indicating a shift in circumstances
Fly on the wind, Fly on the wind
Encouragement to travel or move forward freely like the wind
Walls keep on coming, we're blasting away
Persistence in overcoming obstacles or barriers
Fly on the wind
Reiteration of the idea of moving or flying freely like the wind
Strapped in on my '85, Hands on the boom safe to grip and slide
Describing being secured on a specific item or object from 1985, prepared for an activity or journey, emphasizing safety
32 lines for my stance and peace of mind
Having 32 lines for a stance, possibly indicating a specific position or mindset for stability and peace of mind
4.2 on a skinny mast, downhaul cranked gonna' have a blast
Describing technical details of equipment and conditions for engaging in an activity, hinting at excitement
35 knots and it's side-on from the right
Description of intense and favorable conditions for the activity (sailing or windsurfing) at 35 knots of wind
It's firing, we dive in, here come the turning of the tide, hit it again
Reiteration of readiness and determination despite challenges, indicating a change or opportunity in the situation
Fly on the wind, Fly on the wind
Encouragement to continue moving or progressing freely, persisting despite obstacles
Walls keep on coming, and we're throwing spray
Continued persistence in facing challenges, possibly amidst excitement or vigor
Fly on the wind
Reiteration of the idea of moving or flying freely like the wind
So hard to recall, moments passing by, time stands still
Reflection on the difficulty of remembering fleeting moments while time seems to stand still; the vastness of the ocean as a place of quiet and shared excitement
Ocean takes it all, so quiet in the deep, share the thrill
Reflection on the ocean's ability to encompass everything while maintaining a serene environment; finding shared excitement in its depth
