Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you want it, I know you want it
Learning love means not to know
I'll learn to take it, learn to take it love
I will never leave your fears
I know you're lost now, know you're lost now
Counting days won't buy us years
I'll never let the magic go, I'll float away into your afterglow
I'll never let you go, I'll melt away into your afterglow
The sky will melt in tears
I'll float away into your afterglow
The sky will melt in tears
I'll melt away into your afterglow
People never smile to say goodbye
Leaving means there's nothing left to try
But I broke my wings for you
I smiled as you untied our love for good
The sky will melt in tears
I'll float away into your afterglow
The sky will melt in tears
I'll melt away into your afterglow
The sky will melt in tears
I'll melt away into your afterglow
The sky will melt in tears
I'll float away into your afterglow
At first glance, HAERTS's song "Wings" seems to be about a love that never fades. The lyrics "I will never let you go/I'll never let the magic go" express a desire to hold onto the love between the singer and the person they're addressing in the song. The singer knows that this person wants that love too, but they must learn that loving someone means not always knowing what to do. The phrase "learning love means not to know" encapsulates this idea.
However, the song takes a darker turn when the lines "People never smile to say goodbye/Leaving means there's nothing left to try" suggest that the love between the two people has come to an end. The singer has broken their wings for the person they loved, but now they are smiling as their partner unties their love for good. The repetition of "the sky will melt in tears" serves as a reminder of the deep emotional pain that comes with the end of a relationship. Despite this, the last lines of the song "I'll melt away into your afterglow/I'll float away into your afterglow" show that the singer is attempting to move on from this heartbreak, but they will never forget the love they shared.
Overall, "Wings" is a song about the complexities of love and the pain that comes with its end, but it's also a reminder that love can never truly be forgotten.
