No Wings Attached
Myron Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got it all but don't you know they pray on youre face?
It's a prophecy that we all know, there is no turning back
And tell me where is your helping hand when everything's out of reach
"I am on the top, why can't you see", that's what she said to me
I like the way you look outside
You gotta take it right out of town

Perfection isn't you, and there's nothing you can do

It's like hide and seek of who you are
There's a little voice inside
And only one way to go down
And don't you know she flies with no wings attached

It's not the way you used to be, so hard to be yourself
It's the sign and mark of the hippocrites that makes no sense at all
Step down the road of broken dreams, you have to walk alone
In the end, you're out of style, reach out for what you've made
I like the way you look outside
You gotta take it right out of town

Perfection isn't you, and there's nothing you can do
It's like hide and seek of who you are
There's a little voice inside
And only one way to go down
And don't you know she flies with no wings attached

Is it really what you like to do, so hard to handle this
One day you will realize the point of no turning back

Is it really what you like to do, so hard to handle this
One day you will realize the point of no turning back

Perfection isn't you, and there's nothing you can do
It's like hide and seek of who you are
There's a little voice inside
And only one way to go down
And don't you know she flies with no wings attached

Perfection isn't you, and there's nothing you can do
It's like hide and seek of who you are
There's a little voice inside

And only one way to go down
And don't you know she flies with no wings attached

Overall Meaning

The song "No Wings Attached" by Myron talks about the pressure of society to look perfect and the struggle of being oneself amidst it. It starts off by talking about how people pray on the face of those who seem to have it all, which is a prophecy that holds true. The singer asks where the helping hand is to reach when everything is out of reach. He further sings about someone who claims to be on top, but fails to realize the hypocrisy and fakeness of it all. When he sings, "Perfection isn't you, and there's nothing you can do," he highlights that perfectionism is not the solution and that people should accept themselves for who they are.

The "hide and seek" reference is an analogy that highlights the struggle to find oneself amidst societal pressure. The line "there's a little voice inside, and only one way to go down" further talks about one's inner self leading them to the right path eventually. The last line of the chorus, "don't you know she flies with no wings attached," is an interesting metaphor that talks about achieving success without external validation or support.
