People Can Fly
Astral Projection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you dream there are no rules
People can fly
Anything can happen.

Sometimes there is a moment as you are awakening
When you become aware of the real world around you
But you are still dreaming.
You may think you can fly but you do better not try.





People can fly.

Overall Meaning

The song "People Can Fly" by Astral Projection is a tribute to the freedom of the mind and the infinite possibilities of the soul. The first few lines "When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen," suggest the idea that the human mind, when liberated from the constraints of reality, is capable of soaring to unimagined heights. The line "people can fly" is a metaphor for the limitless potential of the human spirit.


The second verse of the song talks about a transitional moment as we awaken from our dreams. In this moment, there is a sense of awareness of both the dream world and the real world. The words "you may think you can fly but you do better not try" suggests a warning to not get carried away by the illusions of the mind and to always stay grounded in reality. This is a reminder to not let our imaginations take flight to the point that we lose touch with the practicalities of our everyday lives.


The song concludes with the repetition of the line "people can fly," emphasizing the idea that, although we need to be grounded in reality, we must never forget our innate potential for limitless creativity, imagination and freedom.

I remember the 90s... My father used to listen to Astral Projection and I had the feeling that the 21st century would be the peak of humanity. Little did I know that we would go down such a shithole...

True... I'm a 90s girl, i miss so much the joy, "i don't give a -f" attitude and the art scene... Who would imagine things would turn to be like that?!

So, its 1999. and I'm 7 years old, driving with my uncle somewhere in Bosnia. Its like 2 am, and the radio is playing some pop music. We were basically in the middle of nowhere, so the radio signal was really weak, and he had to change the station. Suddenly, some strange sounds began playing, and he quickly changed it to another station. I asked him to change it back, because it sounded really good, and he was like "Really? Ok, I guess." Of course, it was this track, and after it ended, he switched it back to something else. Eight years after that, I found out about goa, heard this again, and started listening to electronic music in general.

Thanks, random Bosnian radio station.
