Flown Away
Lene Marlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing no one but me
Up there's all empty and down there's the sea
No one here but me
There's nothing but light
That comes into sight
And I still got the feelings that I've felt ever since
I got to this place arrived at last
In front there's the future right back there's the past
Everything's moving so fast
There's nothing but light that comes into sight
The present like I've never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay
Please my wings fly me away.
Lene Marlin's song "Flown Away" is a song that speaks about the feeling of being high up in the sky where no one else exists except the person in question. The lyrics start with the singer mentioning that she has flown too high on borrowed wings beyond the clouds and where the angels sing. This line presupposes that the person in question has been helped to get to where she is and that she has now seen a place that no one else has seen. The singer refers to the sky as being empty except for her, and down below is the sea.
The second paragraph of the song speaks about how the singer feels being in the sky. She says something displeases her and that she still holds on to the feelings she has felt since arriving. The singer mentions that everything is moving so fast and all she sees is light. She then talks about how she has arrived at this new place, and right behind her is the past, and ahead of her is the future.
The overall theme of this song is one of uncertainty about where the singer is and what the future holds for her. She questions whether this is the right place to stay and begs her wings to fly her away from this place. The song seems to have been written from the perspective of someone who has achieved something significant in her life but is at a crossroads and is not sure what to do next.

VOLATO VIA
Ho volato molto in alto con ali prese in prestito
Oltre le nuvole e dove cantano gli angeli
In un cielo contenente solo me
Su è tutto vuoto e giù c'è il mare
Nessuno qui tranne me
C'è solo la luce
Che entra nella vista
C'è qualcosa qui su che mi fa sussultare
E ancora provo le sensazioni che provavo da allora
Sono in questo posto arrivata alla fine
Davanti c'è il futuro, lì dietro c'è il passato
Tutto si muove così velocemente
C'è solo la luce
Che entra nella vista
Il presente come non l'avevo mai visto prima
E' il posto giusto dove stare?
Per piacere ali mie
Fatemi volare via
Il presente come non l'avevo mai visto prima
E' il posto giusto dove stare?
Per piacere ali mie
Fatemi volare via
Per piacere ali mie
Fatemi volare via
Per piacere ali mie
Fatemi volare via

If my Look For Me books are ever made into movies, this is the song I would want to represent "Dulcina" the little Irish fairy who lost her will to fly until she... Brilliant music.
