To Crawl Or To Fly
Soulspell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Judith - munhoz:
Our ideals aren't the same
After a while
I don't even know my name
I'm not free to go
Neither free to stay
I'm not welcome here
And i'm running late

Livy - smith:
All you've got is taking you there
Where they want
But they really don't care
Maybe emptiness is not fear
It might well be
A weapon over here

Wayna - somerville:
What is the right way to go?
Oh god, i must try
Decisions i've taken before
But time showed me
I wasn't right
To crawl or to fly

The talking diary - saggioro:
Are the falcon's kind words
More deadly
Than the serpent's sincere bite?
Is the beauty of gold
Enough to make us all go blind?

Solo - magioni, feldman

Wayna - somerville:
What is the right way to go?
Oh god, i must try
Decisions i've taken before
But time showed me
I wasn't right

Judith - munhoz:
To crawl or to fly

Livy - smith wayna - somerville:
What is the right way to go?
Oh god, i must try

Judith - munhoz:
Oh god, i must try

Livy - smith wayna - somerville:
Decisions i've taken before
But time showed me
I wasn't right





Wayna - somerville:
To crawl or to fly.

Line by Line Meaning

Our ideals aren't the same
We don't have the same values and beliefs


After a while
As time goes on


I don't even know my name
I'm feeling lost and confused


I'm not free to go
I'm stuck and unable to leave


Neither free to stay
I'm not welcomed or accepted here


I'm not welcome here
I don't belong in this place


And i'm running late
I don't have enough time to do what I need to do


All you've got is taking you there
Your actions are leading you towards your goals


Where they want
Where others expect you to be


But they really don't care
They're not genuinely invested in your well-being


Maybe emptiness is not fear
Feeling hollow inside might not be your greatest worry


It might well be
It's possible that it is


A weapon over here
It could be a tool to help you achieve your goals


What is the right way to go?
Which path should I follow?


Oh god, i must try
I need to make an effort to figure it out


Decisions i've taken before
Choices I've made in the past


But time showed me
I've learned over time


I wasn't right
My choices were incorrect


To crawl or to fly
To take things slow or move quickly


Are the falcon's kind words
Can positive language and encouragement be harmful?


More deadly
Potentially more harmful than negativity


Than the serpent's sincere bite?
Or is honest feedback more beneficial?


Is the beauty of gold
Are material possessions really worth striving for?


Enough to make us all go blind?
Can it obscure our perception of what is truly important?
