Flying High Again

The song is about being different than most people. Many people look at someone doing nothing and they see laziness, but there's often a war going on in there head, or maybe even high-level problem solving that other people can't understand. Most beginning artists who sacrifice the safe path in life, no matter the art form, are seen as crazy or lazy by people who live normal lives. Those same people wouldn't dare say that about a rockstar. But those same people often fail to see the role that the crazy, lazy lifestyle plays in creating the rockstar.

"Black and white is red" symbolizes how black and white thinking leads to stagnation and bloodshed (red), and Ozzy and company have likely brought more peace to the world than anyone. Meanwhile, most people just march to the drum of their destructive elected leaders. Alternatively, "black and white is read" could mean that the black and white thinking is literally instilled in us by reading what other people have written. "Swallowing colors" is perhaps a metaphor for nuanced, evolving understanding that one can only gain by listening and observing the world, rather than reading what other people have said about the world. The people who just do what they're told because they're afraid aren't really in control of themselves. They're too busy reacting by defending themselves from what they're scared of. But the lyricist is in demand... In control. Because that control looks different than normal, it makes the normal person worry (like momma). Meanwhile, the lyricist can't apologize for making momma worry, because the control they have is genuinely enjoyable. Most people living fear don't enjoy their life though.

Ozzy is deffinetly God of heavy metal n rock music.....(with or w/o Sabbath) this song signifies smoking weed... "No use sayin' sorry It's something that I enjoy... ...Flying high again come on and join me."

Well if you can't figure out what this song means you must be stupid...heh heh. Obviously hes high on drugs and hes taking us with him on this "trip"

Too bad we can't see what he sees...

sure you can.. drip some liquid lsd in a sugar cube and let that bitch melt on your tongue. the shit you see is unreal

DRUGS MAN!!!!!!!!!!! WICKED SHIT DUDE!!!!!!!! lol Ozzy is the new king of rock & roll!!!!!!!!!

Definetly about drugs lol....

Good song, Randy Rhoads is the man.

haha well put zps2.. man i wish we could get some lsd rollin through this little shitty town... damn

This song is definetly about tripping on LSD.

"Swallowing colours of the sound I hear "

hearing colors - or seeing colors of sound is an effect a lot of people that take LSD report

Man this song takes me back to my childhood

every time i hear this song it remindes me of when i lived in Hombolt County... on a plantation. Hombolt is awsome, nice place to live, simple people, mellow people, AND BY GOD all that Pot.

I just went back for a visit last summer to an old friends house. Im talking fish bowls people...FISH BOWLS FULL. theve got this hemp store and if you got caught the cops wouldent arest you, but they would take your "stuff" for "Testing"

i mean i know its ozzy, but i wouldnt necessarily say its about drugs. even if it is about drugs, what its really about is this.

its about being free. doing things the way you want to do things. people dont understand and they pass all kinds of judgement on you, and they completely miss out on what youre really up to because they cant see past what they dont approve of. should you be ashamed.....? hell no! if ozzy wrote this song about doing drugs i would have to say that im disapointed. to me its always been about following your heart regardless of what others think. its about looking inside yourself, knowing what youre capable of, and seeking happiness. this song is about freedom. perhaps the only way some people acheive this kind of freedom is through the use of drugs...
