From their combined talents and influences The Leo Project distills a unique sound. On first listen, one will detect the eclectic elements of such diverse artists as Pantera, Phil Collins, ZZ Top and Van Halen but ultimately the aural experience will be all The Leo Project. All of this is packaged in an intense live show that offers the audience an event unlike any other. Touring relentlessly in support of their debut album “The Burning” they have established a reputation as one of the premiere acts in the Midwest. The Leo Project is sought after by a variety of venues that promise their patrons the ultimate concert experience. Fans and industry professionals alike have been impressed when The Leo Project shares the stage with performers like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, 3 Days Grace, Seether, Slipknot, Sevendust, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Shinedown, As I Lay Dying, Unearth, 36 Crazyfists, Hinder, Powerman 5000, Bobaflex, Hypnogaja, and many more.
Early 2009 will see the release of The Leo Project’s much-anticipated second album. Studio work has been completed in collaboration with producer Fred Archambault (deftones, Avenged Sevenfold). This album showcases the bands special blend of soulful vocals, blistering guitars and pyrotechnic percussion while capturing the energetic yet intimate connection to the audience that is the hallmark of their live performances. Now on the indie label Burning Scissors Records, this is only the beginning for The Leo Project.
Broken Wings
The Leo Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why we can't just hold on
To each others hands
This time will be the last
I fear unless I make it all so clear
I need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
Take these broken wings
Baby I think tonight
We can take what was wrong
And make it right
I need you so
Baby it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh
And blood makes me whole
I need you so
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
And learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up
And let us in
The Leo Project’s song “Broken Wings” is a poignant ballad about a relationship that is on the rocks, but the singer is begging for another chance to make things right. The opening lyrics, “Baby I don't understand, why we can't just hold on, to each other's hands,” express confusion and frustration over the situation. The singer is struggling to comprehend why the relationship is falling apart and why they can’t just hold on to each other to make things work. The next set of lyrics, “This time will be the last, I fear unless I make it all so clear, I need you so,” demonstrate the singer’s desperation to salvage the relationship. They realize that this might be the last chance they have to make it right, and they desperately need their partner to understand how much they mean to them.
The chorus of “Broken Wings” is where the song truly shines. The singer implores their partner to “Take these broken wings and learn to fly again, and learn to live so free.” The “broken wings” metaphor is symbolic of the struggles in the relationship, but the singer is willing to work on it with their partner. Together, they can learn to fly again and experience the freedom and happiness that comes with a healthy relationship. The final lyrics, “And when we hear the voices sing, the book of love will open up and let us in,” suggest that if they work on their relationship and maintain their love, their relationship will flourish.
Line by Line Meaning
Baby I don't understand
I am confused about why there is a problem between us
Why we can't just hold on
Why can't we just stay together?
To each others hands
Let's hold hands and never let go
This time will be the last
If we can't fix things now, it may be over forever
I fear unless I make it all so clear
I am afraid that if I don't explain everything clearly, it will lead to the end of our relationship
I need you so
I am dependent on you and can't live without you
Take these broken wings
My emotional and mental state is just like these broken wings that need to be mended
And learn to fly again
Let's start anew and take off to great heights once more
And learn to live so free
Let's embrace life, be spontaneous and enjoy the freedom of loving each other
And when we hear the voices sing
When we hear the positive messages of others
The book of love will open up
We will experience the love that was meant for us
And let us in
We will be granted a new beginning and allowed to love again
Baby I think tonight
I believe that tonight, we can fix what went wrong before
We can take what was wrong
We can turn the mistakes of the past around
And make it right
And ultimately make our relationship work
That you're half of the flesh
You complete me, and together, we make one flesh
And blood makes me whole
Our bond is so strong that it makes me feel whole
I need you so
I need you desperately and can't imagine life without you
