Fly with Me
Pale 3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you're my hope
You say I'm your princess
Your empress, your dope
I say I am worried
I say you might lie
And if you don't trust me
There's no where to fly
Why don't you give up?
Why won't you relieve me?
Why don't you just stop?
I won't give you anger
I won't give you fear
I'll just think of somewhere
Different from here
Why don't you fly with me?
Let me convince you
Our lives are not lost
Our souls are not corpses
Just biting the dust
I walk in the sunlight
Your shadow resists
My shape wants to follow
And tries to kiss
If I am your princess
Then where is my crown?
I should feel protected
But I still feel alone
I won't give you anger
I won't give you fear
I'll just think of somewhere
Different from here
Why don't you fly with me?
The lyrics to Pale 3's "Fly With Me" seem to be a conversation between two people, one of whom is hesitant to trust the other. The first few lines suggest that the second person sees the first as a hero and a source of hope, while the second expresses worry and distrust. The second person seems frustrated that they aren't being believed or trusted, and even asks why the other person won't give up or stop.
Despite this frustration, the second person doesn't respond with anger or fear, but instead seeks a way out. The repeated phrase "why don't you fly with me?" seems to be an invitation to the other person to join them in a better, more hopeful place. The second person insists that their lives and souls are not lost, but merely "biting the dust."
Some of the lyrics suggest a power dynamic between the two people. The second person wonders where their crown is and why they don't feel protected, despite being called a princess and empress. There's also a sense of longing and desire, as the second person's "shape wants to follow" and "tries to kiss" the other's shadow. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to be seen and heard, but who still wants to find a way to fly with the person they are addressing.
