Ballad Of Black And White
Darlia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Come fly with me 'cos I'm ready

We'll fly away
We'll fly away
We'll fly away 'cos I'm ready
And I dare you
And I dare you
And I dare you
And I dare you

To come fly with me
We'll fly away
I dare you

Nine nine nine as I pray to my enemies
Nine nine nine as I pray to somebody
Somebody
Somebody

Rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away

You look a little worse for wear
I don't mind, I don't care
All I ever had was a little written fairy tale
I don't cry, I don't tear
I told a lie again

Nine nine nine as I pray to somebody
Somebody
Somebody

Sp rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away

Found your way around
But lost yourself again
She said you've gotta go away
But it's not up to me
Wings aren't things you need to test again
She asked me "why why why?"
So I said "Nine nine nine" and I prayed to somebody

Somebody
Somebody
Anybody?

Rise like a feather
The shady ache is automatic over me
So rise like a feather
Until it goes away
Until it goes away
So rise like a feather




Until it goes away
Until it goes away

Come fly with me
Join me on a journey


We'll fly away
We'll leave our troubles behind


And I dare you
I challenge you


To come fly with me
To come with me


Nine nine nine as I pray to my enemies
I pray for those who oppose me


Rise like a feather
Rise effortlessly

I only had a dream


I don't cry, I don't tear
I'm resilient


I told a lie again

But you're lost once more


She said you've gotta go away
She said you have to leave

Don't doubt yourself


She asked me "why why why?"
She asked me why


Anybody?
Is anyone listening?

I made this because I love Darlia like you guys who've watched this do also and when I tried to search up the lyrics on the inter-webs, there were none. So for you guys I'll try my best to listen in on what they're saying.

Come fly with me (x3)
Cause I'm ready
We'll fly away (x3)
Cause I'm ready

And I dare ya (x4)

So, come fly with me
We'll fly away
I dare ya

Night (x3)
It's a place to my enemies
Night (x3)
It's a place to sing our love
Sing our love (x3)

Rise like a feather
Shake inside I might become a myth
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)

You look a little worse for worse
And I don't mind I don't care
All I ever had was a little ripped in hotel
I don't cry I don't tell

I told a lie again

Night (x3)
It's a place to sing our love
Sing our love (x2)

So rise like a feather
Shake inside I mgiht become a myth
So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)

So rise like a feather
Till it goes away

Find your way round and loose yourself again
She you gotta go away
But it's not up to me

These are thing that I need to test again
She asked me why why why
So I said night night night
And I prayed to sing my way
Sing my way (x2)

(Tell no body)

Rise like a feather
Shake inside I might become a myth
Rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)

So rise like a feather
Till it goes away (x2)

Found your way around
But lost yourself again
She said you've gotta go away
But it's not up to me
Wings aren't things you need to test again
She asked me "why why why?"
So I said "Nine nine nine" and I prayed to somebody
