the sky
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get tired of life,
What a world I'm living in,
Now I've got it all,
I've had enough, I'm giving in

The sun is shining
Melting the clouds away
Got me some Blue Sky Action
I'm breathing today
I know I'm burning
This is my final day
I'm gonna to go out smiling
A king for a day

A king for a day
A king for a day

Stuck in this toxic town
It really takes my breath away
It's either leave or drown
I'm on a Blue Sky getaway

The sun is shining
Melting the clouds away
Got me some Blue Sky Action
I'm breathing today
I know I'm burning
This is my final day
I'm gonna to go out smiling
A king for a day

A king for a day
A king for a day

The sun is shining
Melting the clouds away
Got me some Blue Sky Action
I'm breathing today
I know I'm burning
This is my final day
I'm gonna go out smiling
A king for a day





A king for a day
A king for a day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Above & Beyond's song "Blue Sky Action" convey a sense of weariness and dissatisfaction with life, and a yearning for something more uplifting and liberating. The opening lines express a sense of exhaustion and resignation, as if the singer has experienced enough disappointment and frustration to make them want to give up. However, the next verse suggests a glimmer of hope and possibility, as the sun shines and the clouds dissipate, and the singer finds some "Blue Sky Action" that allows them to breathe and feel alive again. It's as if they've discovered a new perspective or attitude that allows them to temporarily feel like a "king for a day." The final verse reinforces this sense of escape and empowerment, as the singer seeks to leave behind a toxic town and find a way to live more fully in the present moment.

Regret to know this amazing track so late, one of the best I have ever heard last 20 years :-)

@Davidenko254

Was about to end it all today.
A rainy morning, walking alone under the railway overpass. Listening to my liked song list in Spotify. Once this song came on, the sun broke out from the clouds, almost like a movie scene. I decided to face my struggles.
Then went on to listen to my favourite podcast, abgt 216 and all the memories of good times just flooded.
Always will love above and beyond. I hope to see them live one day.
