Flyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How do three fill a one room apartment?
As we cast out vote
You light a roll up under your coat
Spare time, amateur dramatics
From an old script
We found in the attic, as we learn our lines
Sundays and Mondays with Annie and Alistair
Top of the twelfth step, a cross on the calendar
Steady and sober, talking it over, are we all right now?
Late night, a comedy open mic
We head for the glow of the exit light
And miss the joke, downing our Bacardi and Cokes
Sundays and Mondays with Annie and Alistair
Top of the twelfth step, we fall off the banister
Steady and sober, talking it over, are we alright now?
And I thought I could help it
I thought I could hold it down
No one was closer to making the final round
Sat in a circle, a note in the journal
Are we alright now?
Cross dress a face in the mirror ball,
A hot mess, a rave in the dinner hall
We rise up and over the houses
And we wont look down
The lyrics of Flyte's song Annie and Alistair present a narrative that portrays the daily happenings of a group of individuals who are trying to manage their lives one day at a time while dealing with addiction, theatrical ambitions, and the difficulties that come with trying to help someone who is suffering. The song highlights the difficulties in trying to balance the highs and lows of life while trying to maintain sobriety. The first verse, "Three pills in weekly compartments, how do three fill a one-room apartment?" suggests that addiction takes a toll on space and sanity, and the act of taking a pill becomes mundane and habitual. The second verse describes the individuals' attempts at escaping their addiction by occupying themselves with amateur dramatics, but they still live life one day at a time.
The chorus of "Sundays and Mondays with Annie and Alistair, top of the twelfth step, a cross on the calendar, steady and sober, talking it over, are we all right now?" highlights that there is still hope for redemption for those who struggle with addiction. However, the lines "Late night, a comedy open mic, we head for the glow of the exit light, and miss the joke, downing our Bacardi and Cokes" speak to the relapse, frustration, and struggles that come with the pursuit of sobriety. The bridge, "And I thought I could help it, I thought I could hold it down, no one was closer to making the final round, sat in a circle, a note in the journal, are we alright now?" shows the perspective of an individual who is trying to help someone who may be struggling but is also dealing with their own demons. It conveys the idea of helplessness and the difficulty of supporting someone in their recovery journey.
Overall, the song's story is a reflection of the complexities of addiction and recovery, the struggles that individuals face in trying to find their way and survive. Ultimately, it portrays hope amid the difficulties and the importance of seeking help and support.

This is the saddest song I’ve ever heard. Makes me want to cry, but I can’t get it out of my head.

There is a mistake in your information. This UK band Flyte was formed in 2013. You are mixing them up with another band which is also called Flyte.
