FLYG MIN VÄG
Freddie Wadling Lyrics

The lyrics of Freddie Wadling's "Flyg min väg" describe the singer's feelings of uncertainty, madness, and the elusive nature of human identity. The opening lines, "jag glider på isen / rakt in i gapet på galenskap" (I glide on the ice / straight into the chasm of madness), set a tone of instability and disorientation. The singer suggests that it is humanity itself that embodies this instability, as "människan / som både är du och jag, samma sak" (the human / who is both you and me, the same thing). The singer's understanding of human nature has lead them to feel burdened by the weight of knowledge, as they know "för mycket" (too much). The chorus, "flyg min väg / allting jag rymmer, rymmer min själ" (fly my way / everything I contain, contains my soul), suggests a desire to escape this burden and find release through flight.

The second verse continues to explore the difficulties of human relationships, with the lines "det blir aldrig enkelt / det blir aldrig heller som vi har tänkt" (it never gets easy / it never unfolds as we envision). The singer suggests that they are in a constant state of flux with another person, "jag höjer du sänker / vi brinner i regnet som solen har dränkt" (I lift, you lower / we burn in the rain that the sun has drowned). Despite this instability, the singer wishes they had the power to change things and make everything "stort och smått" (big and small). The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's desire to escape through flight.

The final verse brings these themes together as the singer returns to the imagery of ice and flight. The line "jag glider på isen / när linan är slut, nu är vi uppenbar" (I glide on the ice / When the line is finished, now we are clear) suggests a sense of inevitability, perhaps suggesting that a point of no return has been reached. However, the singer finds comfort in the thought that with another person, "en sån som du" (someone like you), they can navigate whatever the future brings. The chorus repeats once more, this time with the suggestion of potential danger ("kanske imorgon attack och farväl" / "maybe tomorrow, attack and farewell").

Overall, "Flyg min väg" is a powerful song about the difficulties of understanding human nature, the struggles of relationships, and the desire to escape the weight of all of these things through flight. The imagery of ice, flight, and the sun recurs throughout, emphasizing a sense of transience and impermanence.
