Wax And Feathers
Embracing Uncertainty: Wings of Freedom
Lyrics
Sometimes feel a little dizzy
Sometimes experience a slight disorientation
Poised upon this crest
Balanced on a peak or summit
Far down below the city slumbers
Far below, the city is asleep
I'm sure they'd be impressed
Believe they would be impressed
Because these wings are here to show them why
Wings are a demonstration of fearlessness
There's nothing left to fear
Reassuring that there is nothing to fear
And we're in sympathetic hands
In caring and supportive hands
That hold us dear
Held dearly by those who care for us
I know you look at me and mutter:
Observing a skeptical glance and whisper
"Can faith be so blind?"
Raising the question if faith can be blindly followed
While I paint circles 'round your steeple
Creating circles around a steeple, a symbolic structure
You'll be searching for the line
The observer searches for a defining boundary or limit
That holds me up
The line or support that sustains me
That keeps the certainty imprinted on my eyes
Preserving the certainty reflected in my eyes
I'll be finefinefine
Expressing confidence and well-being
Sure, I've read the history books
Having knowledge from history books
That's why I fly by night
Choosing to operate during the night to avoid confinement
Because you'd lock me in the closet
Fearing imprisonment and intervention by anonymous figures
Call the faceless men in white
Summoning faceless authorities in white
But I'll be here tomorrow
Ensuring presence and sanity in the future
Rest assured, I shall be sane
Guaranteeing mental stability
I will do it once again
Committing to repeat the unconventional actions
Maybe just a pile of feathers
Perhaps reduced to mere feathers
A crusty pot of wax
Symbolic representation of a worn-out, enduring substance
See me sweep across your desperate horizon
Glide across the observer's desperate view
So relax
Encouraging relaxation and calmness
If I fly away and look for
If I depart and search for
Demons plotting in a cave
Exploring potential threats or challenges
Just wavewave
A gesture of departure, possibly waving goodbye
