Fly with Me
Franka Potente/Pale 3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you're my hope
You say I'm your princess
Your empress, your dope
I say I am worried
I say you might lie
And if you don't trust me
There's no where to fly
Why don't you give up?
Why won't you relieve me?
Why don't you just stop?
I won't give you anger
I won't give you fear
I'll just think of somewhere
Different from here
Why don't you fly with me?
Let me convince you
Our lives are not lost
Our souls are not corpses
Just biting the dust
I walk in the sunlight
Your shadow resists
My shape wants to follow
And tries to kiss
If I am your princess
Then where is my crown?
I should feel protected
But I still feel alone
I won't give you anger
I won't give you fear
I'll just think of somewhere
Different from here
Why don't you fly with me?
The song "Fly With Me" by Franka Potente/Pale 3 is a plea for trust and understanding in a relationship. Potente sings about the conflicting emotions that arise when someone claims to be a hero or a hope, but also causes worry and doubt. She questions why this person won't believe her or let go of their mistrust, as it blocks any possibility of moving forward together. Despite this, she doesn't want to fight or argue, but rather hopes to find a way to escape to a better, more positive place.
The lyrics also express a desire for protection and companionship, as Potente asks where her metaphorical crown is, and why she still feels alone even when supposedly under someone's care. She yearns for connection and intimacy, but feels held back by the lack of trust and mutual understanding.
Overall, “Fly With Me” is a powerful and emotive song that explores the difficulties of relationships and the need for trust, communication, and understanding to overcome them.
