Wings in Motion
Bladee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything clears up, you're still there
And more than that
Tears of yours, still there
And more than that too
It feels broken
Wings in motion
Wings in motion
Far from before, I'm on my hands again
The lonely four, again, again
All through the night, it feels broken
Wings in motion, wings in motion
Far from before, I'm on my hands again
(And you're still there too)
Crystalline bliss from within
And everything clears up, you're still there
And more than that, tears of yours, still there
And more than that too
It feels broken
Wings in motion
In Bladee's song "Wings in Motion", the lyrics express a sense of clarity and inner peace that is obtained when one is in the presence of someone they care deeply about. The opening lines, "Crystalline bliss from within, and everything clears up, you're still there" suggests that the person in the song has found a kind of inner peace that has brought them clarity, and the presence of the other person is what has brought them to this state. This sense of clarity is further emphasized as the lyrics indicate that the "tears of yours" are still there, adding an element of vulnerability and a recognition that the person they care about has experienced their own struggles too.
However, despite the sense of peace and clarity, there is still an underlying feeling of brokenness in the song. The line, "it feels broken" suggests that even in moments of clarity, there is still an understanding that things are not perfect. The repeated phrase "wings in motion" adds to the sense of instability and potential for upheaval. The repetition of the phrase also highlights the internal struggle the person in the song is experiencing. The final line, "and you're still there too", provides a sense of comfort and reassurance that even in moments of uncertainty, the person they care about is a constant and stable presence in their life.
Overall, "Wings in Motion" is a song that expresses the complex emotions and experiences of relationships. It highlights the moments of clarity and inner peace that can be found when in the presence of someone we care about, while also acknowledging the underlying sense of vulnerability and brokenness that can exist in those relationships.

the art is unironically amazing
@Gnosis4me4you
Everything he’s ever done was never truly ironic.. it’s symbolism.. cryptic
@Bourvilledelaville
@@Gnosis4me4youwith a touch of fake irony
@myuziksohl
@Machiavel_ false irony is probably not even thought of more and is just vaguely "fun" or "silly" but that's just the vibe I get

Two individuals in my family struggle with addiction. I think of them when I hear this. This song helps me daydream all of the good times I have had with them.
