Plastic Wings Lyrics

Sleep, sand, and dust have made me feel old and paranoid
I need control, I need to glow once again

Designed to fly or maybe just die
My plastic wings
Images of perfection might purify

Long way down
Long way down
Long way down
Long way down

Take me high...

Strap on the wings and push me over and watch me sink
Maybe tonight I'll get it right finally

Hold in my breath and make me forget my everything
I'm in a sky made out of sighs here today

Long way down
Long way down
Long way down
Long way down

Take me higher
Take me higher
Take me higher
Take me high...

Long way down
Long way down
Long way down
Long way down

Take me high...
Take me higher

I need control, I need to glow
I need control, I need to glow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is a favorite - i think the meaing is pretty obvious. Its about drugs and addition, getting high and crashing afterwards. "Plastic Wings" is a nice metaphor for it - they get you high, but its not real, the wings are plastic. The song ends nicely - "long way down", the crash, then the urge to get up again, even higher...
