Twisted Wing
Solarstone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You cannot fly
Every night you dream of scaling heights
But you can only fall
You′re carried deep into the starless night

And when you cry
Nobody hears you through the pouring rain
It's a crying shame

So much to give and yet you′ve given in

We took them all, my dear love

She sits and waits
Under the streetlight that she so appreciates
A butterfly with twisted wings
That just can't reach the sky
But we can save a little freedom
Then we'll levitate
Call moon and night
And let our dusty wings begin to fly

We took them all, my dear love.

Line by Line Meaning

You cannot fly
You are not able to fly

Every night you dream of scaling heights
You dream of achieving great things every night

But you can only fall
Despite your dreams, you are only able to fail

You′re carried deep into the starless night
Your failures take you to a dark place

And when you cry
When you are sad

Nobody hears you through the pouring rain
Your sadness goes unnoticed or unheard

It's a crying shame
It's sad that you are not able to reach your dreams

So much to give and yet you've given in
You have potential, but you have given up

We took them all, my dear love

She sits and waits
Someone waits for something

Under the streetlight that she so appreciates
She waits under a streetlight that she values
