The vocalist, Yukimi, stated in an interview that the song was inspired by a book on evolutionary psychology. The book included a section on risk-taking and explained that, biologically, men were more likely to take risks than women. She said that it upset her and that she wanted to assert herself as a risk taker. I think the song tries to positions us, and perhaps women in particular, in a post evolutionary state of mind. It's an emancipation of everything that evolution has determined us to be and puts us control of what we want to become (we can even become feathered beings!). I think it's great how she puts the listeners at the edge of that cliff; at the exact moment of launch. Whether or not we'll fly is left to us and will only be clear once you overcome the fear to make the leap. |
