Higher Than The Sky
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, now my time has come.
I will be dead and gone
from the earth's face.
It is my destiny,
this time I cannot cannot hide
from this cruel fate.

A never ending memory,
a life before my eyes.
Whatever comes, whatever's been,
my pocket full of lies.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

An ordinary flight,
who could imagine this
will be our death cell.

No miracle in sight,
We're diving faster now,
as for as I can tell.
I see the faces passing by,
there's fear inside this eyes.

They all will be my company
we're brothers now for life.

Like an arrow in the air,
falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be





Higher than the sky, we're
higher than the sky.

Overall Meaning

In "Higher Than The Sky", Rage describes a tragic event where the singer is about to die in a plane crash. The lyrics indicate that the singer has accepted fate and is ready to face death, as much as it remains cruel. The singer sees his life flashing before his eyes, with a pocket full of lies that he carries. The verses are about the inevitability of death, but the chorus is more optimistic and hopeful. The singer imagines that he and the people on the plane are bound together like brothers for life and that they will be higher than the sky, suggesting that they will meet a spiritual, transcendent state after their death.


The second verse is about the suddenness of the accident, how a regular journey turned into a death sentence. The passengers are falling in the air, diving faster, and their faces show fear. The singer acknowledges that they are all going to die, but he seems comforted by the fact that he is not alone, that his fellow passengers are with him. The chorus repeats again, suggesting that death is not the end, and there is an afterlife where they will all be together.

HIGHER THAN THE SKY LYRICS

So, now my time has come
I will be dead and gone
From the earth's face
It is my destiny
This time I cannot hide
From this cruel fate

A never ending memory
A life before my eyes
Whatever comes, whatever's been
My pocket full of lies

Like an arrow in the air
Falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
Higher than the sky

An ordinary flight
Who could imagine this
Will be our death cell

No miracle in sight
We're diving faster now
As for as I can tell
I see the faces passing by
There's fear inside their eyes

They all will be my company
We're brothers now for life

Like an arrow in the air
Falling endlessly and I know we're gonna be

Higher than the sky, we're
Higher than the sky

Juan Humberto Gómez Quiroz

Their best line-up for sure

Christian Schindler

Der Sound und die Art und Weise, wie bei diesem Auftitt das Lied gespielt wurde, ist einfach unvergleichlich. In meinen Augen die beste "Interpretation" der einzelnen Besetzungen der Band!
