Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are one of the people that I'm thinking of
Oh please
Please forgive me
I don't to want fly
I don't to want fly
I don't to want fly with you no more
I've been through
I know the reason
You did what you do
Oh please
Please forgive me
I don't to want fly
I don't to want fly
I don't to want fly with you no more, ah
The lyrics to Ty Segall's song "Pan" explore the concept of falling out of love and moving on from a relationship. The first two lines establish that the subject of the song is someone that the singer loved and still thinks about. However, the repetition of "I don't want to fly with you no more" suggests that the relationship has reached a breaking point.
The lines "I know the reason/ You did what you do" imply that there was some sort of betrayal or wrongdoing that led to the end of the relationship. The singer is asking for forgiveness and acknowledging their own role in the relationship's demise, but is ultimately looking to move on and no longer be tied to this person.
The use of the word "fly" could symbolize the idea of freedom or release from a heavy burden. The repetition of the phrase "I don't want to fly" reinforces the idea that the singer is looking to break free from the weight of the relationship and move on with their life.
Overall, "Pan" is a powerful and emotional exploration of the complicated and often difficult process of letting go of a past love and moving forward with one's life.
