Wings
Seabird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That she was always wrong.
Kicked out and laughed at.
Held down and looked down on.
And drove far from home.
She left all her things,
To start a new beginning.
They said you wouldn't make it,
Make it on your own.
But look at you know, love.
My God, how you've grown.
With angels on your left side,
And Christ on your right.
We stood up for you,
When you were too weak to fight.
I can see you want to say,
"I told you so".
It's too late for that,
But I want you to know I love you so.
And this cage was always too small for me,
I had to go.
Your heart was so cold,
But I want you to know that I love you so.
The heartbreak is over,
The best is yet to come.
And now that we're older,
There's nothing left to run from.
They saw your strength for the first time,
And couldn't say a word.
You sang like the angels,
Like none we've ever heard.
Sad, now that she's gone.
They just wanna hear her song.
Mad that she was right,
Family wants to pick a fight with me.
For telling her to leave,
To spread her broken wings and try,
To fly away.
Fly away.
Come on, fly away.
Fly away.
Come on, fly away.
Fly away.
Come on, fly away.
Fly away.
FLY AWAY!
FLY AWAY!
The lyrics to Seabird's song Wings tell a story about a young woman who was constantly put down and never believed in. She decided to leave her situation behind and start a new beginning, even though she was told she wouldn't make it. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes we need to leave our cages and spread our wings to truly grow and become our best selves. Throughout the song, there are mentions of angels and Christ, indicating that the woman has found a higher power that is guiding her. The lyrics also acknowledge the pain and heartbreak that can come from leaving situations behind, but ultimately, the best is yet to come.
The chorus invites the listener to fly away, and it's clear that this newfound freedom is not just for the singer of the song, but for anyone who needs to break free from societal norms and expectations. The mood of the song is hopeful and inspiring, with a sense of triumph and victory over adversity. The lyrics speak to the idea that when we are true to ourselves and follow our dreams, we can accomplish anything.

Here's another fun fact. Albatross, like other sea birds, are capable of sleeping while in flight. This is called Unihemispheric Slow-Wave Sleep (USWS). Basically one hemisphere of their brain sleeps while the other remains awake and vigilant. This allows them to rest one half of their brain while still maintaining control over essential functions and staying alert to their surroundings. Truly amazing birds.

In Tom and Jerry, Tom flys using his nostrils as well when he smells a pie.

🤣

@Rich-Oh
And they also help detect wind currents like the albatross, because Tom then finds himself lifted and floating effortlessly toward the window sill with the freshly baked pie.

And Jerry for the cheese scents
