Fly Away
Above Envy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ALL MY HEART IS WAITING TO BE FREE.
AND I'LL NEVER LET NOBODY ELSE KNOW WHATS DEEP INSIDE.
IN THE AIR THERES AN ANSWER AND ITS RINGING CLEAR,
AND THERES ROOM FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SHARE.
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING TO SHOW YOU AND NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE;
...
FLY AWAY
I WANNA STAY,
IF TOGETHER WE FALL THEN TOGETHER WE GROW-OW.
TAKE A RIDE LIFTIN HIGH UP IN THE AIR LAST NIGHT.
LET THE FEELING TAKE CONTROL SO RIGHT.
YOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO TOUCH ME DEEP INSIDE;
YEAH YOU TOUCH ME DEEP INSIDE.
FLY AWAY,
YEAH THE WORLD IS SO SMALL AS WE LOOK DOWN BELOW;
I WANNA STAY,
IF TOGETHER WE FALL THEN TOGETHER WE'LL GROW;
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES I SO WANTING TO KNOW-OW
YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT,
YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU NEED,
AND YOULL LEARN THAT THE BEST IN LIFE IS FREE.
BABY COME TAKE MY HAND, YOU AND I UNDERSTAND;
IT WILL STILL BE A BUG IT WILL STILL FLYYYYYYYYYY,
WHEN WE LAND .
FLY AWAY,
YEAH THE WORLD IS SO SMALL AS WE LOOK DOWN BELOW,
I WANNA STAY,
IF TOGETHER WE FALL THEN TOGETHER WE'LL GROW,
FLY AWAY,
YEAH THE WORLD IS SO SMALL AS WE LOOK DOWN BELOW,
I WANNA STAY,
IF TOGETHER WE FALL THEN TOGETHER WE'LL GROW,
WHEN I LOOK IN YOUR EYES I SO WANTING TO KNOW-OW.
The lyrics to Above Envy's song Fly Away depict a desire for freedom and escape from the constraints of everyday life. The singer invites the listener to join them on a journey where they can show them what the world can be, free from limitations. The singer wants to share the experience with the listener and let them into the deepest depths of their heart, which they do not reveal to anyone else. They believe there is an answer in the air that is clear and room for someone to share it with. The singer has everything to show and nothing left to hide.
The chorus, "Fly Away, Yeah the world is so small as we look down below; I wanna stay, if together we fall then together we'll grow" portrays the thrill of flying and how small the world seems from up high, but also emphasizes the importance of growing together even in the face of failure. The bridge highlights the powerful feelings evoked by being close to the person they're singing to, and how they know how to touch them deep inside.
Overall, the song is about the desire for freedom and escape, but also the importance of companionship and growing together.
