Flying Away
Dawn of Destiny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone said give peace a chance
History has shown that it is
A foreign word
Oh
Is it a way to save this world
To stop the Earth from bursting
NO
This will only hasten judgment day
I'm awake at night
And saw the need to fight
And the helping hand is so far out of sight
We need to fly away
This is no place to stay
For we know now that the evil's gone away
It works like a domino
If someone falls, they all will follow
When someone rules
They all obey
Oh
With every war, with every disease
Maybe we're just trying to survive
Maybe this is the way that we'll
GO
This is not the way it's meant to be
I'm awake at night
And saw the need to fight
And the helping hand is so far out of sight
We need to fly away
This is no place to stay
For we know now that the evil's gone away
I'm awake at night
And saw the need to fight
And the helping hand is so far out of sight
Oh
Is it a way to save this world
To stop the Earth from bursting
Six billion people seems to be too much
NO
This will only hasten judgment day
I'm awake at night
And saw the need to fight
And the helping hand is so far out of sight
We need to fly away
This is no place to stay
For we know now that the evil's gone away
I'm awake at night
And saw the need to fight
And the helping hand is so far out of sight
We need to fly away
This is no place to stay
For we know now that the evil's gone away
HEY!
The song "Flying Away" by Dawn of Destiny is a call to action and a commentary on the state of the world. The lyrics suggest that peace is an elusive concept, with history showing that it has not been achieved in the past. The chorus encourages the listener to fight against the forces of evil, which have supposedly left the world, and to fly away to a better place.
The first verse suggests that the world is in trouble and that its population may be too large. The lyrics are possibly implying that humans are causing environmental damage and that the earth may not be able to sustain such a large number of people. The next verse proposes the idea that people follow each other, like dominos, and that they are easily influenced by power structures. The chorus repeats the idea that flying away and leaving this world is the only solution, and that fighting for a better world with a helping hand is important.
Overall, the lyrics of the song suggest that the world is full of issues and suffering, and that leaving for another world is one potential solution. However, it also implies that fighting for change and striving for peace should not be given up on.
