While vocalist Ayla Nereo delicately crafts songs that climb and tumble through a landscape of crescendos and harmonies, seasoned composer David Sugalski (aka The Polish Ambassador) keeps the beats and bass rooted deep in the subatomic layers of the earth.

Dawn to Flight
Wildlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the dark calls your name
Come, face to face your fear, don't turn away as the dark calls your name
But here, like a drowning, like a knife…
Here in the changing of dawn to flight I go…
Is it my life then to be lost?
Takin anything be caught…
Callin down these highest walls…
I wouldn't mind it to be light, showin' all of me inside…
Is it my life then to be found?
Watch as seeking turn to sound…
Deep roots, recall your stance - you, born of sand, holds you in hand
Trembling as a shoot 'gainst mountain - climb!
With all your heart, to your name, called through dark…
Here is the path and you are blind…
Here is the changing of dawn to flight, I go…
Is it my life then to be lost?
Taking anything be bought?
Is it a chosen to be love?
Callin' down these highest walls…
I wouldn't mind it to be light, shown all of me inside…
Is it my life then to be found?
Watch as seeking turn to sound…
The lyrics of Wildlight's song "Dawn to Flight" are a powerful and introspective exploration of fear, courage, and the transformative power of dawn. The song starts with an invitation to wake up, to face the darkness and the fear that comes with it. The dark is personified as a calling voice that addresses the listener by name, challenging them to face their fears and not turn away from them. The intensity of the imagery is enhanced through the use of metaphors such as lightning and rain, suggesting that something profound is about to happen.
As the song proceeds, the lyrics shift towards a more reflective and philosophical tone. The singer asks a series of existential questions about the meaning of life and the choices that we make. The lines "Is it my life then to be lost? Taking anything be bought?" suggest a confusion about the purpose of life and the choices we make. However, the lyrics also suggest that it is possible to choose love and to break down the walls that we build around ourselves. The refrain "Callin' down these highest walls" suggests that there is a way to transcend fear and to become our true selves.
The final verse of the song resolves the tension that has been building up throughout the song. The listener is invited to recall their deep roots, to climb mountains, and to follow a path even when they cannot see it. The transformation from darkness to light is complete, and the singer confidently declares "Here is the changing of dawn to flight, I go."

"It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" This song makes me think of all the adventures in life that many have already or have yet to experience and what adventures lay in wait in an uncertain future. Its oddly romantic and sad all at the same time I respect it It makes me appreciate what i have right in front of me.
