The Wings
Me and My Drummer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tough here are the monsters
They are around
And this room has only one escape
Stuff lies on my table carried to dust
And a smile like a mask is on your face
There's a shimmering ray on the door
Up here on this
Up here on this thireenth floor

It takes one step out of the window
Chuck those wings of glass behind me
And I'm prowling the Notch Peak
And I'm catching my prey
By diving on it from above

When a small seed is been implanted on a balcony
The first thing it sees is the very end of the town
Someone will always water it
Someone will always take care
But this life is done
This life is done
This life is done

It takes just one step out of the window
Chuck those wings of glass behind me
And I'm prowling the Notch Peak
And I'm catching my prey
By diving on it from above

All that space
And all matters that we know
They all have a name to them
An item are they are called

It takes just one step out of the window
I never trusted a thing I had to put my feet on
And as I speak something bigger is fading




Words are weird so let's just read our minds
Words are weird so let us just read our minds

Overall Meaning

The Wings by Me and My Drummer is a song that depicts a feeling of being trapped in a small space with monsters lurking around. The first stanza of the song creates an atmosphere of claustrophobia and paranoia, with the lyrics "Tough here are the monsters, They are around, And this room has only one escape". The line "And a smile like a mask is on your face" suggests that the person in the room is possibly hiding their true feelings or intentions. The shining ray on the door on the thirteenth floor serves as a glimmer of hope to escape the situation.


The second half of the song takes an interesting turn. The line "It takes one step out of the window" indicates that the singer is ready to take a chance by jumping out of the window with wings made of glass. The lines "And I'm prowling the Notch Peak" and "And I'm catching my prey, By diving on it from above" gives the impression that the singer is embarking on a new adventure and taking control of their life. The song ends on a somewhat cryptic note with the lyrics "Words are weird so let's just read our minds". It could mean that words don't convey the entirety of human emotions or that sometimes actions speak louder than words.


Line by Line Meaning

Tough here are the monsters
It's tough here because there are scary things around


They are around
The monsters are nearby


And this room has only one escape
There's only one way out of this room


Stuff lies on my table carried to dust
There are things on my table that are covered in dust


And a smile like a mask is on your face
You're smiling, but it feels fake or insincere


There's a shimmering ray on the door
There's a bright light shining on the door


Up here on this
In this place


Up here on this thirteenth floor
On the thirteenth floor of a building


It takes one step out of the window
All it takes is one step out the window


Chuck those wings of glass behind me
Leave those fragile wings behind


And I'm prowling the Notch Peak
I'm exploring Notch Peak


And I'm catching my prey
I'm hunting something down


By diving on it from above
I'm attacking it by diving from a high place


When a small seed is been implanted on a balcony
When a small seed is planted on a balcony


The first thing it sees is the very end of the town
The seed's first view is of the edge of the town


Someone will always water it
Someone will always take care of it


Someone will always take care
Someone will always look after it


But this life is done
But this life has come to an end


All that space
All the open area


And all matters that we know
And everything we're aware of


They all have a name to them
Everything has a name


An item are they are called
They are called items


I never trusted a thing I had to put my feet on
I never trusted anything I had to stand on


And as I speak something bigger is fading
As I'm talking, something larger is disappearing


Words are weird so let's just read our minds
Language can be strange, so let's communicate telepathically


Words are weird so let us just read our minds
Language is strange, so we should read each other's thoughts
