Flying High Again
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
'Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me, flying high again

I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy (you bet)

Mama's gonna worry
I been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me

Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again, come on and join me

I'm down, here we go now

I'm down, I'm down, here we go now
Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said

Mama's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's somethin' that I enjoy

Flying high again
Flying high again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ozzy Osbourne's "Flying High Again" are about his craving for escapism and his dissatisfaction with the mundanity of reality. He feels like he needs to get away from his current situation to feel free and alive again. The first verse reveals his restlessness and confusion, as he's consumed by an undefined crazy feeling that he can't make sense of. He wants to escape this chaos and leave his feet on the ground, waiting for the sun to reappear.


In the chorus, Ozzy acknowledges that his mother will worry about him because he's been a bad boy, but he doesn't feel the need to apologize for indulging in his vices. He defends his actions saying that people can't see things the way he does or understand what's going on inside his head. He's flying high again and wants someone to join him.


The second verse references his ability to see through mountains, touch the sky, and swallow colors of the sound he hears. He's convinced that he's not just crazy; rather, he's seeing things that most people can't comprehend. He's in his element when he's flying high, and he knows that his father thinks he's being lazy because he doesn't understand why Ozzy does what he does. People may view him as crazy, but he is in high demand and is living his best life.


Overall, the song is about Ozzy's need to escape the mundanity and chaos of realism to feel alive and free again. He is not ashamed of his vices and urges others to join him in his love for escapism.

Apologizing would be a futile effort

'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
You cannot perceive what I perceive


(I can see it, I can see it)
I have a unique perspective


And you can't be inside of me, flying high again
You cannot experience what I experience, soaring through the skies once more


I can see through mountains watch me disappear
I am capable of seeing through obstructions and vanishing from view


I can even touch the sky
I am able to reach for the heavens themselves


Swallowing colors of the sound I hear
I am capable of perceiving sounds in a unique and colorful way


Am I just a crazy guy (you bet)

Flying high again
Repeating the joyous act of taking flight


Flying high again, come on and join me
I invite you to join me in this liberating sensation


I'm down, here we go now
I am ready to take off


Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
My father misconstrues my intentions as laziness


Never saw inside my head
He cannot comprehend my innermost thoughts and desires


People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Others may view me as insane, but I am wanted and sought-after nonetheless


Never heard a thing I said
People often do not listen to my words or heed my advice


Flying high again
I am once again soaring through the skies


Flying high again
Repeating the joyous act of taking flight


Flying high again
I am still in the midst of this liberating sensation


Flying high again
Repeating the joyous act of taking flight

Lyrics
Oh no... here we go now
Oh no... here we go now
Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me,
Flying high again
I can see through mountains; watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy? You bet
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me
Oh no... here we go now
Oh no... here we go now
Daddy thinks I'm lazy; he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said
Momma's gonna worry
I been a bad bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again.

Stuck in the kitchen cooking, two crap songs play. Then I hear the starting guitar to an Ozzy song and I say out loud "Thank God for Ozzy" . I lost my wife to a sudden stroke 3 years ago but an Ozzy song can take me back to when we were new and flying high in our new melding of us. Thank God for Ozzy.

Randy took Ozzy to the top and Ozzy has never been afraid to say it. Absolute respect for Ozzy to say that. In interviews even today you can see the love Ozzy still has for Randy. Very cool, you the best Oz

@tarstarkusz

ozzy is a very evil man.

@@Dieseldog172 Sure I do. He promotes every evil imaginable. He's promoting drug use with this song. I've liked this song for 35 years, but I am not morally blinded by music talent.
