From the minute they step on stage, you understand
that Passerby is more than a 30-minute rock show. They
are five spirits pushed to the edge by passion, united
by struck chords and unleashed in a fury through
emotion. Intensely profound lyrics combine with
exotic melodies, driving the music into
the atmosphere and into the listener's head, forcing
repeated attendance in your thoughts.
Comprised of lead singer Lacey Mosley, guitarists
Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann, bassist Pat
Seals and drummer James Culpepper, Passerby insists on
erasing the word mediocrity from their craft.
Both physically and sonically, their stage show unfolds into whirlwind of contrasting extremes; twisting a whisper into a battering ram and then back again.
The road has definitely been fruitful for this young
Central Texas rock band as they have shared the stage
with many of the renowned acts that frequent the national spotlight: Damesviolet, Fishbone, Riddlin Kids, Bowling For Soup, Seven Channels, Pushmonkey, Vallejo, Flickerstick, Stereo Fuse, GOB and Evanescence.
A combination of a provocative live show and also a
meekness to their existence has made this band full of
appeal both to fans and critics alike.
If you have an intrigue for intensity and melody, for
passion and inventiveness, look no further. The only
way Passerby would dissatisfy you is if you were
looking for a cookie-cutter.
Broken Wings
Passerby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh, you're everything to me
And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever
Under your stars tonight
And I am so overwhelmed
By a thousand Broken Wings.
So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
A thousand broken hearts
Carried by a thousand Broken Wings
A thousand words are singing reason
Understanding why it happened
The Passerby's song, Broken Wings, is a beautiful ode to friendship and the love that exists between two people. The song begins with the singer thanking their friend for being there and being a constant presence in their life. They express their deep gratitude for the friendship and pray that it lasts forever. The singer then goes on to tell their friend how much they mean to them, stating that they are everything to them. The depth of emotion and affection is palpable in the lyrics and it's clear that this friendship is special and precious to the singer.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes overwhelmed with emotions and struggles to find the words to express how they feel. They plead with their friend to stay with them, just for a moment longer, so that they can dance together forever. The sense of desperation and urgency is conveyed through the repetition of the phrase "please don't go just yet". The chorus then speaks of a thousand broken wings, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the many setbacks and difficulties that life brings. Despite all of this, the singer hopes to find solace and refuge under the stars tonight, with their friend by their side.
The second verse sees the singer asking their friend to pass them some memories, again emphasizing the importance of the friendship and the memories they have shared together. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that life is tough and often leaves us with broken hearts. However, they find comfort in knowing that their friend will always be there to pick them up and carry them through the tough times. The final lines of the song suggest that the friendship is a source of hope and strength, and that it helps to make sense of the challenges we face in life.

I love this version I wish they would have released it.
Raymond Berentes
This is the older version. The first song I ever heard from Passerby (now Flyleaf). They re-arranged the song a little bit and released it on their most latest album. I think the original is better.
