Wings
Live and Let Die Lyrics

Weighin' on your mind, like a ball and chain
Something that is bothering you and making you feel trapped.

Like a destiny to run from
The feeling that you have to escape your fate and go elsewhere to find peace.

Division in your soul (in your soul), keepin' you from whole
The sense of being incomplete or broken in some way, and the inability to come to terms with it, which holds you back from achieving fullness and harmony in your life.

I can bare to see you crying
The artist wants to help the listener and ease their burden as much as possible but is unable to do so, which makes them feel helpless and sad.

The wing that lays on your shoulders

Could be the wings that carry you home
The possibility that the metaphorical wings mentioned earlier could be the key to finding your way back to your true self and the place where you belong.

Sometimes you've got to die to be born again
Sudden, radical changes are sometimes necessary in order to move forward and create a new, better version of yourself.

Sometimes you've got to fight
In order to achieve something, you must be willing to put up a fight and not give up until you've won.

Sometimes you've got to learn
Knowledge and experience are required to succeed, and you must be willing to accept and learn from your mistakes.

Sometimes you've got to burn
Destructive acts can be seen as beneficial in some cases, especially when they are necessary to get rid of the old and make way for the new.

The old brush out so the new can grow

Like to long, lost friend?

Like it too long, lost friend?

Could be the wings (lord above)
