Still a Fly
Flight of Self-Discovery: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Still a Fly'
Lyrics
That's alright, that's okay
Expressing acceptance or reassurance in a situation; it's fine.
I can wait, you're still a fly
Despite waiting, the person is still impressive or admirable.
Eating through
Consuming or experiencing something deeply.
Trying to live in the space you ate
Trying to exist in the same emotional space that the other person occupied.
But still, you're just a kid
Acknowledging youthfulness despite the depth of experience.
You shouldn't read Dostoevsky at your age
Cautioning against engaging in complex or mature content prematurely.
’Cause that and nicotine will make you pale and lean
Warning about the potential adverse effects of certain habits.
And twist your face like Mr. Grays
Describing a distorted or troubled facial expression.
Religious manifests in paintings that you make
Connecting art creation to spiritual expression.
Or else your eyes will stay the same
Suggesting that avoiding creative pursuits may result in stagnation.
Are you that hungry for a change
Questioning if one is eager for a significant life change.
You're waking up
Transitioning to an awakened state or a realization.
You're flying out
Taking flight, possibly departing from a situation or mindset.
The door has sprung loose
Highlighting a sudden or unexpected change in a situation.
Don't forget me
Requesting not to be forgotten during the departure.
That's alright, that's okay
Repeating the sentiment expressed in lines 1-2.
It’ll come out and It’ll say
Anticipating a forthcoming revelation or expression of feelings.
What’re you doing here? I don’t want you to be anyway
Indicating a desire for the person to leave or not be present.
And I’ll laugh and I’ll say
Expecting a humorous response to the previous statement.
Hey baby
Using an endearing term, possibly to ease tension or convey affection.
Maybe you would laugh a lot
Suggesting an unusual or unexpected behavior for the speaker.
Because that's not something I usually say
Explaining the reason for a particular expression or statement.
But that's the whole reason
Reflecting on the origin of a thought or feeling.
That It got on the tip of my tongue
Accepting the unexpected emergence of a thought or feeling.
And that's still okay
Reiterating acceptance of the situation or emotion.
You're waking up
Repeating the awakening motif, suggesting an ongoing process.
You're flying out
Repeating the idea of taking flight, possibly indicating a recurring theme.
The door has sprung loose
Reinforcing the sudden and uncontrollable change in a situation.
Don't forget me
Repeating the plea not to be forgotten, emphasizing the fear of being left behind.
And then it came and rained on down
Describing a transformative experience, perhaps influenced by external forces.
From the sky and into my head
Depicting an influx of thoughts or ideas, possibly overwhelming.
I tried to think but it was too fast
Struggling to process the overwhelming thoughts and responding impulsively.
So I just said anything that came
Expressing a need to communicate, even if the message is not well thought out.
You're waking up
Repeating the motif of awakening, suggesting a continuing process.
You're flying out
Reiterating the idea of departing or transcending a current state.
The door has sprung loose
Emphasizing the unexpected or sudden change in the situation.
Don't forget me
Closing with a final plea not to be forgotten, reinforcing the fear of being left behind.
