Fly Away
Dellé Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fly – fly away
Feels so light up here
It's so bright and clear
Fly – fly away
I'm so light up hear
It's so bright and clear

I can feel my burdon it's heavy as lead.

for so many years it's been kept behind the curtin.
a burning, a looting, rumble and a shooting.
rinsing, a cleaning, my system is steaming.

father father heavenly father,
I'm turning to you, caus' , I've been lying to my mother.
built up a story for those I truely love.
they've turned their back on me.
so I spread my wings and fly away.

fly – fly away (Where you gonna run to) fly away to zion
I'm so light up here (who you gonna come to) fly away waiting for so long
it's so bright clear (where you gonna run to) have no fear buckle up and see
(who you gonna come to) it's very clear
fly – fly away (Where you gonna run to) fly away to zion
I'm so light up here (who you gonna come to) fly away waiting for so long
it's so bright clear (where you gonna run to) have no fear buckle up and see
(who you gonna come to) it's very clear

way up high out here there's no gravity.
all my fears just morph to prosperity.
No one cares, no one ask silly questions.
No one knows.., no one no

where're you gonna run to,
I don't know where to run to
who you gonna come to,
I don't know whom to come to
where you gonna run to
don't ask me where to come to
just let me fly

fly – fly away (Where you gonna run to) fly away to zion
I'm so light up here (who you gonna come to) fly away waiting for so long
it's so bright clear (where you gonna run to) have no fear buckle up and see
(who you gonna come to) it's very clear
fly – fly away (Where you gonna run to) fly away to zion
I'm so light up here (who you gonna come to) fly away waiting for so long
it's so bright clear (where you gonna run to) have no fear buckle up and see
(who you gonna come to) it's very clear

fly away to zion,
fly away waiting for so long,
have no fear buckle up and see.

fly – fly away (fly away now) just all leave me alone.
I'm so light up here (I won't stay no) I'm not coming home.
it's so bright clear (fly away no) up here I will roam.
my face is unknown.
fly – fly away (fly away now) just all leave me alone.
I'm so light up here (I won't stay no) I'm not coming home.

it's so bright clear (fly away no) up here I will roam.
my face is unknown.

Overall Meaning

The song "Fly Away" by Dellé is about escaping from the burdens of life by literally flying away. The singer has carried a heavy burden for years and has been pretending to be someone they are not to their loved ones. They have built up a false story and now feel disconnected, as their loved ones have turned their back on them. The singer seeks refuge in a higher being, turning to their heavenly father. Fly away to Zion is a reference to finding solace in a spiritual or heavenly place.

Being up high, without gravity, gives the singer a sense of lightness and freedom. They have no fear and no one asks them questions, allowing them to escape reality. The singer is unsure of where to turn or who to come to, but they do not want anyone to follow as they fly away. The repetition of the phrase "fly-fly away" serves to emphasize the desire for escape.

The lyrics are filled with contradictions, such as the singer feeling light but carrying a heavy burden, and the bright and clear sky contrasting with the burden they carry. The song seems to suggest that sometimes the only way to escape our problems is through a complete departure from reality.
