Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I don't know why I was
So afraid all the time
Memories seemed
To bother me
My whole life
I used to carry the weight of the world
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry the weight of the world
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I don't know why I was
So ashamed
Such a waste of time
And I don't know
Who I was trying to be,
All those lies
I used to carry the weight of the world
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry the weight of the world
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
Ohhh
and there's always something
somebody right behind
but we're not meant to be
everything
we're just a piece
so spread your wings, ohh
I don't know why I was so afraid
All the time
I used to carry the weight of the world
and now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly
[repeat 3x]
[repeat again 2x]

Lyrics
Cold sweat smell in the locker room
in the locker room, in the heat of june
shinning faces reflecting on the wall
light upon the wall
and down for more
All in the distance a deadly yard,
its a deadly yard
and its not too far
sense to the tension across the place
its a damn big space and i am on your gaze
Room X70
Numbers and bells all around my head
ring inside my head
we're so close to ten
Short breath, tears and blood are the fare
let us all be fair
in the square
RoomX70
Sense to the tensionX4
RoomX70

on Flowers in the Morning
BLOND the lilac years
We are many of today´s generation of broken dreams oh Harlem´s pain at break of day of high and low removed we say from quick reality that comes and goes as harsch black snow eddies the concrete jungle and fades away
We are many who stride the sunlit coast of shimmering sands of BLOND of celluloid fairylands blanketed in swirling mists and pierced by sighing thighs heaving broken promises of lost tomorrow
We are many who stuffed with useless information whilst meditating fornication wonder why the sirens wall with mass destruction resurrecting crucifixion and raising up an age old question did Christ die to save as all? Our gentle willow weeps as snowflakes fall fall we with said despair of lost tomorrow.
