Paper Planes
Lucas & Steve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the runaways
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
I see them pointing their fingers
But we're never gonna do as we're told
We were painting by numbers
Chasing rainbows like we're looking for gold
Through the oceans
Through the desert
Cross the mountains
On a hundred fields of gold
We were born to be legends
But we chose to take the bigger road
We're never looking back
We are the runaways
We try, we try never to stay the same
When skies are turning black
We're dancing in the rain
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
Dark clouds on the horizon
But have faith inside the back of your mind, yeah
We say goodbye to the ones we were
Then we leave all of our troubles behind
Through the oceans
Through the desert
Cross the mountains
On a hundred fields of gold
We were born to be legends
But we chose to take the bigger road
We're never looking back
We are the runaways
We try, we try never to stay the same
When skies are turning black
We're dancing in the rain
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We are the runaways
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
We are the runaways
We fly, we fly free like a paper plane
In Lucas & Steve Tungevaag's song Paper Planes, the singers sing about their freedom and desire to stay away from conformity. They sing about past experiences where they were restricted to follow certain rules and were expected to act certain ways, but now they have broken free from those shackles and are taking their own path. The chorus emphasizes this rebellion and their desire to never look back. They choose to be the runaways, people who have left behind their old selves and are now free to fly high like a paper plane.
The song also talks about the uncertainty of the future, represented by the dark clouds on the horizon. But instead of worrying about it, the singers encourage listeners to have faith and leave their troubles behind. The verses speak about their adventurous journey through oceans, deserts, and mountains, emphasizing the idea that they were born to be legends, but have chosen to take the unconventional and bigger road. The song is a celebration of individuality and embracing the journey, no matter where it takes you.
