Fairway
Amy Jo Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of control
My life is a tangled web
Not a tangible thing to hold
Slipping into the fairway
Slipping into the fairway again
Where the mummy meets the day
I saw a raven of fear
That the forest will betray
So I fell to the side of the ledge
I held my wings wide
"Give me freedom" I said
As I stepped from the side
Slipping into the fairway
Again
Pleased to meet the moonlit sun
On the brink of the edge of a wave
Pleased to meet the moonlit sun
And follow it to a new day
Slipping into the fairway
Again
Again
"Don't be sad"
Said the mummy to the man
Because if you don't put out the fire
You'll never see the scam
Slipping into the fairway
Again, yeah
Pleased to meet the moonlit sun
On the brink of the edge of a wave
Pleased to meet the moonlit sun
And follow it to a new day
Slipping into the fairway
Again
Again
So I stepped to the side of the ledge
And I held my wings wide
"Give me freedom" I said
As I stepped from the side
I'm home again
Out of control
My life is a tangled web
Not a tangible thing to hold
The song "Fairway" by Amy Jo Johnson is a reflective piece about the ups and downs of life. The lyrics speak of feeling out of control and having a life that is a tangled web, with nothing tangible to hold on to. The fairway is used as a metaphor for finding one's way back to a place of stability and comfort. The first verse speaks to the feeling of being lost and finding oneself slipping back into the fairway, which can be interpreted as a metaphorical place where everything falls into place. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer finding herself slipping into the fairway again and again, as though finding her way back to the path is a recurring process.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm home again
Returning to a familiar state after experiencing something unfamiliar
Out of control
Feeling as though life is unpredictable and beyond one's power
My life is a tangled web
Feeling as though one's existence is complicated and difficult to navigate
Not a tangible thing to hold
Lacking something physical that can be grasped or owned
Slipping into the fairway
Transitioning into a smoother path or state of mind
Slipping into the fairway again
Returning to a more comfortable or familiar state of mind
On the edge of a hill
Being in a precarious or unstable position
Where the mummy meets the day
A place or situation between past and present
I saw a raven of fear
Experiencing a feeling of dread
That the forest will betray
Anticipating that something one has trusted will cause harm
So I fell to the side of the ledge
Backing away from a dangerous situation
I held my wings wide
Preparing oneself for change or movement
"Give me freedom" I said
Expressing a desire for independence or escape
As I stepped from the side
Taking action to move forward or escape danger
Pleased to meet the moonlit sun
Feeling a sense of wonder or enchantment
On the brink of the edge of a wave
Being at a point of transition or uncertainty
And follow it to a new day
Embracing change and moving forward
Don't be sad"
Offering reassurance or comfort
Said the mummy to the man
A wise or experienced figure offering advice
Because if you don't put out the fire
Warning of potential danger if action is not taken
You'll never see the scam
Missing a larger truth or deception
Again, yeah
Re-emphasizing a return to a familiar or comfortable state of mind
So I stepped to the side of the ledge
Taking action to avoid danger or discomfort
"Give me freedom" I said
Asserting a need for independence and control
As I stepped from the side
Moving forward and leaving behind obstacles or danger
