Fly Away
Boundary Run Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing in the roses
Lost track of the seasons we find
Memory out of focus
Lose grip on the passing of time

Did it really happen?
Or am I just an architect?
Was the sea planned?

Or a feeling we can resurrect?

We'll never know it
It comes and it goes, yeah
Tryin' to tame it
Like a bird in a cage
We should let it fly away
Let it fly away

Underneath the surface
Hold fast to the patterns we know
A picture and a purpose
And we chose to let go

River in a canyon
Trails in the open sky
Searching for the answer
We can just take our time

We'll never know it
It comes and it goes, yeah
Tryin' to tame it
Like a bird in a cage

We should let it fly away
Let it fly away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boundary Run's song "Fly Away" capture the feeling of being lost in time and memories. The opening line "Standing in the roses" evokes a sense of being lost in a beautiful moment, but then the next line "Lost track of the seasons we find" shows the confusion of losing track of time. The next line "Memory out of focus" reinforces this sentiment and continues to set the scene for the rest of the song.

The chorus of the song contains a powerful metaphor of trying to hold onto something that is meant to be free. "We should let it fly away" suggests that sometimes we try to hold onto memories, feelings or experiences that should be allowed to move on and continue to evolve. The lyrics suggest that the things we hold onto may never be fully understood, and it is better to let go and trust in the natural ebb and flow of life.

The second verse talks about holding onto patterns and purpose, but also choosing to let go. The lines "Searching for the answer/We can just take our time" shows that there is no rush to find meaning in life, and that sometimes it is better to let things unfold naturally.

Overall, the lyrics of "Fly Away" speak to the universal human experience of holding onto things that we should let go of, and the importance of trusting in the natural flow of life.
