Lyrics
Well I started out down a dirty road
Embarking on a challenging and difficult journey.
Started out all alone
Starting the journey alone, facing initial hardships.
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
As the day ends, facing a metaphorical obstacle or challenge.
And the town lit up, the world got still
The surroundings come to life, and a moment of stillness occurs.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Expressing the desire to achieve something significant (learning to fly) despite not having the necessary means.
Coming down is the hardest thing
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing challenges and setbacks.
Well the good ol' days may not return
Reflecting on the past, recognizing that returning to better times may not be possible.
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
Contemplating extreme and unlikely changes in the world.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Reiterating the aspiration to achieve something significant without having the necessary resources.
Coming down is the hardest thing
Repeating the acknowledgment of the difficulty in facing challenges and uncertainties.
Well some say life will beat you down
Recognizing that life can be harsh and challenging.
Break your heart, steal your crown
Referring to potential heartbreaks and challenges that life may bring.
So I've started out for God knows where
Setting out on a journey without a clear destination.
I guess I'll know when I get there
Expressing uncertainty about the destination and the realization that it will become clear only upon reaching it.
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds,
Continuing the metaphor of learning to fly, exploring new heights and possibilities.
But what goes up must come down
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing challenges and coming back down to reality.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Reiterating the desire to achieve something significant without having the necessary means.
Coming down is the hardest thing
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the difficulty in facing challenges and uncertainties.
