Wings
Eden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night was a car crash
Highlights meet a quick end
Live the high life 'fore the week ends
Coming down hard to the sunset sinking in
Didn't try hard for a diehard
Nothing I can say that you won't get wrong
And everybody asks where you're gone now
Can you only really want what you don't have enough?
Everything you ever wanted adding up
To be the reason you can't stand it now
You talk a lot, well act like it
Finally found a way to get myself untangled
And undone, but it's alright
This ain't been the dream in a long time
Make sure you play the music when my time's up
Oh, just say it, I'm done

So, if you loved me, how was I supposed to know?
'Cause now we're fading and losing what we wanted most
But in spite of how you feel, it's not the end of the world
Some say these things are for the best
How are you so sure?

And you can find me when the sea pours into the stars
I'll get there someday
I hope you find everything you think that you want
Bruises will fade
Time on our side, we can wait for it
I'll be doing fine, if you are
'Cause life is but a dream
Only as real as you let it be

So, if you loved me, how was I supposed to know?
'Cause now we're fading and losing what we wanted most
But in spite of how you feel, it's not the end of the world




Some say these things are for the best
For better or worse

Overall Meaning

In "Wings," singer-songwriter Eden discusses the aftermath of a destructive relationship. The opening lines, "Last night was a car crash, highlights meet a quick end," set the tone of the song, implying that the relationship was tumultuous and ultimately failed. Eden then reflects on the experience, acknowledging that he didn't try hard for a "diehard," indicating a lack of commitment on his part. He questions whether he should have done more or said more to save the relationship, but ultimately comes to the realization that some things are meant to end.


The refrain of the song addresses the idea of loss and moving on. Eden seems to be asking his former partner how he was supposed to know that they were fading, and that the end was inevitable. He acknowledges that sometimes things end for the best, even if it doesn't feel that way at the time. The final lines of the song, "For better or worse," suggest that the relationship may have been flawed, but it was still an important experience.

Last night was a car crash
Highlights made a quick end
Live the high life for the weekends
Coming down hard to the sunsets, sinking in
Didn't try hard for a die hard
Nothing I consider you, on getting wrong
And everybody ask, "Where you going now?"
Can you only really want what you don't have enough?
Everything you ever wanted adding up?
You'd be the reason you can't stand, and now
You talk a lot, well, act like it
Finally found a way to get myself untangled
And I'm dumb, but it's alright (it's alright)
Listening and dreaming a long time (long time)
Make sure you play this music when my time's up (time's up)
Oh, today I'm done

So, if you loved me, how was I supposed to know?
'Cause now we're fading and losing what we wanted most
But in spite of it, now it feels like the end of the world
Some say these things are for the best
How are you so sure?

And you can find me when the sea pours into the stars
I'll get there someday
I hope you find everything you think that you want
Bruises will fade
Time on our side, we can't wait for it
I'll be doing fine, if you are
'Cause life is but a dream (only it's still deceiving)

So, if you loved me, how was I supposed to know?
And now we're fading, losing what we wanted most
But in spite of it, it feels like the end of the world
Some say these things are for the best
Better or worse

Last night was a car crash
Highlights meet a quick end
Live the high life for the weekends
Coming down hard to the sunset sinking in
Didn't try hard for a die-hard
Nothing I can say thar you won't get wrong
And everybody asked where you gone now
Can you only really want what you don't have enough?
Everything you ever wanted adding up?
You'd be the reason you can't stand it now
You talk a lot, well, act like it
Finally found a way to get myself untangled
And undone, but it's alright (it's alright)
Listening and dreaming a long time (long time)
Make sure you play this music when my time's up (time's up)
Oh, today I'm done

[Chorus]
So, if you loved me, how was I supposed to know?
