Following the huge responses, Blanc Faces appeared for the first time in Europe at the first edition of the United Forces of Rock Festival in Ludwigsburg, Germany where they literally took the crowd by storm.
Little by little the two brothers (who by the way have an outstanding career in music including providing background vocals on music involving Toto lead singer Bobby Kimball and legendary singer Ronnie Spector) started putting together musical material for the second album which they completed in the summer of 2009.
Fly
Blanc Faces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But happiness seems so far away
I try to live unselfishly
But sometimes it's hard to forget about me
I had a plan
I had a dream
But somehow the strength driving me
Just like words with no song
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
To a world no-one's been
That's where I'll begin again
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
Everytime I stare at the sky
I wish that I could fly
As I look on
There is no light
If I had the wings
I'd leave tonight
I wanna learn
I wanna fly
The years pass like days for me now
And life is passing me by
Losing is a word I'll never learn
However sharp I'll make the turn
Just like words with a song
I know I belong
But sometimes I wish I could fly away
To a world no-one's been
That's where I'd begin again
Sometimes I wish I could fly away
Though I'll never break down and die
But everytime I stare at the sky
I know that I will fly
Fly away...
The lyrics of Blanc Faces's song 'Fly' touch upon the theme of feeling lost and stuck in life, despite trying to live unselfishly. The singer expresses the struggle of forgetting about oneself and pleasing others while battling with the desire to pursue one's dreams and personal goals. The opening lines of the song acknowledge the common phrase, 'life goes on,' which serves as a reminder that time doesn't stop for anyone, yet the singer feels distant from happiness. The singer shares the challenges of feeling like they don't belong, comparing themselves to 'words with no song.' This highlights the feeling of being incomplete or purposeless, and the desire to escape to a new world where they can begin again.
The lyrics also touch upon the fear of missing out and the realization that time is slipping away. The singer expresses the desire to learn and fly, perhaps indicating that they feel like they haven't made use of their time or potential. The line, 'The years pass like days for me now,' highlights the point where one feels like they've entered into a loop of going through the motions and not experiencing anything new. Nonetheless, the singer is determined to keep going and not 'break down and die,' indicating some resilience and hope despite the bleakness of their situation.
Overall, the song 'Fly' is a relatable and emotional piece that touches upon themes of self-discovery, fear, and the desire for change. The lyrics may serve as a reminder that it's crucial to take care of oneself and pursue what makes one fulfilled, even when it's difficult to put oneself first.
