Wings
Lisa Heller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let alone anybody else
But you found a way in
Came and went like the wind
I, I cleansed your skin
The dirt on your hands
Washed all your sins
Left at the grave
Where we now lay
I followed you down
To the lowest low
Where lost aren't found
I lost everything
Stitched my wings
I found a way out
Searching for solid ground
So high I can't look down
Got caught up in your mental hell
I almost lost myself
I, I cleansed your skin
The dirt on your hands
Washed all your sins
You buried my shame
Left at the grave
Where we now lay
I followed you down
To the lowest low
Where the lost aren't found
I lost everything
Stitched my wings
I found a way out
(Found a way out)
I, I cleansed your skin
The dirt on your hands
Washed all your sins
I followed you down
To the lowest low
Where the lost aren't found
I lost everything
Stitched my wings
Found a way out
(Found a way out)
I found a way out
In Lisa Heller's song "Wings," the lyrics tell a story of a relationship that has experienced ups and downs. The singer begins by expressing how difficult it is to trust oneself, let alone anyone else. However, someone else has found a way into their life, someone who has come and gone like a gust of wind. The next verse is more ambiguous and could be interpreted in a few different ways. The singer has "cleansed" the other person's skin, washing away their sins, but the other person has also "buried" the singer's shame. It's unclear whether this relationship has been one of mutual healing or if it has been more one-sided.
In the chorus, the singer says that they followed this person "down to the lowest low," a place where "lost aren't found." It seems like this relationship has taken the singer to a dark place, but they have also found a way to "stitch" their wings and escape. The final chorus is slightly different, with the singer saying they've "found a way out" twice. This repetition underscores the idea that the singer has found a way to move on from this difficult relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to "Wings" seem to explore the idea of how relationships can be both destructive and healing at the same time. The imagery of wings suggests a desire for freedom or escape, while the idea of one person washing away the other's sins and burying the other's shame implies a deep connection and vulnerability. Through it all, the singer has found a way out and has emerged stronger.
