IV
The Faerie & The Childe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My talents are in here
A career that is homegrown
A bird that's in a cage
Musn't fly away
But shes built a world of her own
My dreams will not decay, my dreams will not decay
I fear, I fear, I fear for you once you see what I can do
Thank you for all that you put me through
Now I have something to pursue
I turn madness into sanity; chaos to serenity
Inside me is divinity so you can't hold me down
Darkness into beauty seems to be my art
Something that I've learnt to do from the start
Thank you for all that you put me through
Now I have something to pursue
Hold me down I dare you
Hold me down I dare you
Hold me down I dare you to try
Hold me down I dare you
Hold me down I dare you
It just means you know I can fly
