Fly
Pinmonkey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around the world statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everywhere I go people stop and they see
Twenty-five years old my mother God rest her soul

I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly

Dance a little stranger, show me where you've been
Love can make you hostage want to do it again
There's no time to think about the starting or the end
We'll find out I'm told, my mother she told me so

I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly

Well all around the world, statues crumble for me
Who knows how long I've loved you
Everywhere I go folks are so good to me
Twenty-five years old, my mother God rest her soul

I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby
I want to fly
Spread your love and fly
Spread your love and fly




Spread your love and fly
Spread your love and fly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Fly" by Pinmonkey are a poignant reflection on the unstoppable passage of time and the desire to be loved and accepted. The first verse speaks of the crumbling statues all around the world, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the transience of human existence - everything we create, everything we cling to, ultimately fades away. The singer then reflects on their long-standing love for someone and the way that people everywhere stop and see them. At 25, the singer's mother has passed away, but her wisdom survives as she has told them that they will find out what they need to know.


The chorus contains the repeated refrain "I want to fly, put your arms around me, baby." This can be seen as a plea for love and companionship in a world that can sometimes feel lonely and isolating. The second verse follows a similar theme, with the singer encouraging the listener to dance and show them where they've been. Love, the singer suggests, can make you a hostage - trapped and bound to another person. But even with this uncertainty, there's no time to think about the beginning or the end. They'll find out what they need to know, just like the singer's mother told them.


The final verse returns to the theme of statues crumbling and people being good to the singer wherever they go. The song ends with the repeated refrain of wanting to spread love and fly.Overall, the song speaks to the human desire for connection, for understanding, for love. The world may be transient, but we can still find moments of meaning and beauty through the people we meet and the love we share with them.
