Fruitflies
Gabriel Garzón-Montano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A million pairs of feet, getting weak
We are all so tired of walking
But we can't find the way back home

Like fruitflies in the breeze, ill at ease
We try so hard to fight it
But we can't change the way the wind blows
Can't find a way back home
We can't change the way the wind blows
No, we can't find the way back home

And while we try to sleep, forgotten dreams
They beg of us to count them
So we back and forth with the sheep
Our cloudy coats, they gleam

How we bleat
Afraid to up and wander
Let the wolf get you while you're alone

Can't find a way back home
Can't find a way back home
No, we can't find a way back home

A million pairs of feet, getting weak
We are oh so tired of walking
But we can't find the way back home

Can't find a way back home




Can't find a way back home
No, we can't find the way back home

A million pairs of feet, getting weak
We are all so tired of walking
But we can't find the way back home

Like fruitflies in the breeze, ill at ease
We try so hard to fight it
But we can't change the way the wind blows

Can't find a way back home
We can't change the way the wind blows
No, we can't find the way back home

And while we try to sleep, forgotten dreams
They beg of us to count them
So we back and forth with the sheep
Our cloudy coats, they gleam

How we bleat
Afraid to up and wander
Let the wolf get you while you're alone

Can't find a way back home
Can't find a way back home

A million pairs of feet, getting weak
We are oh so tired of walking
But we can't find the way back home

Can't find a way back home
Can't find a way back home

I don't think that "back and forth with the sheep" is wrong per se, but I'd say an equally valid interpretation is "beckon forth with the sheep".
