Make You Fly
Los Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He grows out his stubble just so that he can
Scratch at the sunburn that colored my arm.
Civilians read bibles behind glass windows.
Is this what constitutes normal behavior?

Got soul! Got vision! Got mind to leave here.
You soon made an enemy of me.
I Warned you: don't make an enemy of me.

I'll take your heart with such little commotion,
By crippling disease or with deadly love potion.
I'll bind you and gag you and all's well that ends, I suppose.

Got a call, are we not interesting?
Fair to say we are not interesting at all.
Broke down laughing and screaming for more,
But if this changed your life, did you have one before?

And what have we got that is of any use?
Allegiance to team that we cannot pronounce.
Image seared, dermis spread across tiled floor.
A taste on the tongue that you and me both abhor.

Got soul! Got vision! Got mind to leave here.
You soon made an enemy of me.
I Warned you, don't make an enemy of me.

I'll take your heart with such little commotion,
By crippling disease or with deadly love potion.
I'll bind you and gag you and all's well that ends, I suppose.

Got a call, are we not interesting?
Fair to say we are not interesting at all.




Broke down laughing and screaming for more,
But if this changed your life, did you have one before?

Overall Meaning

In "Make You Fly," Los delivers a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be "interesting" and what passes for "normal" in society. The opening lines describe a man who is so desperate for attention and stimulation that he grows out his stubble just so that he can scratch at the sunburn on the singer's arm. Los then observes how civilians read bibles behind glass windows, questioning whether this is truly normal behavior. This sets the stage for the rest of the song, which explores the themes of identity, conformity, and the human condition.


Throughout the song, Los employs vivid imagery and metaphor to convey his message. He warns those who would make an enemy of him, promising to take their heart with little commotion, whether through disease or love potion. He speaks of allegiances to teams that no one can pronounce and of images seared onto the skin and the taste of something abhorrent. These images create a sense of unease and discomfort, as if Los is peeling back the layers of society to reveal something raw and unsavory beneath.


The chorus of the song reinforces Los's central thesis that we are not as interesting as we think we are. He speaks of a "call," perhaps a call to adventure or to something greater, yet concludes that it is fair to say that "we are not interesting at all." He asks whether anything we have to offer is of any real use and questions whether our lives were meaningful before this supposed call to greatness. In this way, the song suggests that what we think makes us interesting may in fact be nothing more than an illusion.
