Flying
Sean Rowe Lyrics

In “Flying,” Sean Rowe sings about personal transformation that came after a long period of feeling stuck and disconnected. The first lines suggest that the singer had been emotionally numb and unable to access his own feelings. He couldn’t cry or dream for seven years as if he was living in a state of suspended animation. But something shifted, and he began to experience his emotions again. Maybe it was a new relationship or some other kind of stimulation that helped him connect with his emotions. In any case, he’s grateful for his newfound ability to feel.

After that period of emotional disconnection, a new world of possibilities opened up to the singer. Where once he couldn’t sing or know certain words, now he’s found himself on a bridge with a broken heart, perhaps from love or heartbreak. He’s had to confront some hard truths about himself and those around him. The lines “And all the faces that I knew / They were lying” suggest that he had been surrounded by people who weren’t being truthful with him. He gradually started to realize that he had to break free from the past to make any kind of real change.

The singer talks about language in a metaphoric sense, as a tool for expressing himself. He used to talk in a way that he no longer recognizes, and he realizes that his language can’t give him what he needs anymore. This suggests a shift in his own worldview, perhaps a new perspective that he’s gained from his experiences. The lines “I tore it from my Bible / And I kept it from my god / I would not lose to junkies on the street” suggest a renouncement of faith or belief in the old ways. He’s also made a conscious decision to avoid the kind of behavior that he sees in “junkies on the street.”

The final lines of the song suggest that after this period of transformation, the singer has emerged as a new person. He’s been able to build something out of the dust, creating a new path for himself from the ruins of his old life. Maybe he’s found a new sense of purpose, or just a newfound ability to fly towards whatever goals he wants to achieve.
