Wings
Vladimir Maras & banD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Vladimir Maras & banD's song Wings paint a picture of a couple who have spent their lives together in the same old house. The couple has passed mid-life and their kids have grown and moved out. Despite these changes, they are doing alright. However, the song acknowledges the passing of time and how quickly it can fly by. The wife comments on how they went from dark to grey, a reference to the changing colors of life. The husband comments that he doesn't know when the change happened, but he doesn't ask why. This is a simply beautiful message about the inevitability of change and the importance of enjoying each moment.
The song then continues with an acknowledgment that as you grow older, your body becomes weathered, but your soul stays young. The couple reminisces about the early days when their house had boards on the porch and holes in the roof. They got help from their folks and the house improved. The wife stares out the window and thinks about their journey, commenting that it's been one hell of a ride. The chorus brings it all together with a beautiful melody, and the couple acknowledges that they cannot picture being apart from each other but are aware that time has wings and it sure does fly.
Line by Line Meaning
Two loves in the same old house
Two people who have been in love for a long time are living in the same house.
Passed mid-life and they're winding down
They have passed their mid-life and are settling down.
Kids are gone but they're doing alright
Their kids have moved out but they are still okay.
Time has wings and it sure does fly
Time passes quickly.
She says when did we go from dark to grey
She wonders when their life turned from exciting to dull.
Didn't see it comin' it just happened one day
They didn't notice when their life changed.
He says I don't know but I don't ask why
He doesn't know why their life changed but he accepts it.
You start out thinking you'll walk forever
When you're young, you think you'll live forever.
Your soul stays young but your body becomes weathered
Although you age, your personality and soul stays the same.
It's a truth of life that sneaks up from behind
The realization that life is short comes unexpectedly.
He says remember this house back in '82
He asks his partner to remember their house from the past.
Boards on the porch, holes in the roof
Their house used to have boards on the porch and holes in the roof.
Stayed that way 'til '85
Their house stayed that way until 1985.
Til we got a little help from your folks and mine
They got help fixing their house from their family.
She stares out the window by the kitchen sink
She looks out the window by the kitchen sink.
Smiles for a minute as she stops and thinks
She smiles and thinks about the past for a moment.
It sure has been one hell of a ride
Their life has been full of ups and downs.
Later that night when they both lie down
Later that night when they go to bed.
Through the silence of the dark she reaches out
In the darkness of their bedroom, she reaches out to him.
Says I can't picture me not by your side
She can't imagine being without him.
But time has wings and it sure does fly
But time passes quickly.
