Flying High Again
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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
'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
Flying high again
Flying high again
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.

Mama's gonna worry
My mother will be concerned about my actions
I been a bad bad boy
I have been behaving poorly
No use sayin' sorry
Apologizing would be a futile effort
It's somethin' that I enjoy
However, I find pleasure in my actions regardless
'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)
Some may view me as eccentric or irrational (and they would be correct)

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
