This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Stare outside
and imagine what it could feel like
to fly tonight and leave our home our lives behind
We'll dive around
and never let our bodies touch the ground
and right now I'm feeling like I'll never go back down
Till then, taking flights around the corner ends and bends
I'll soar up higher to admire when
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
Over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
Stare outside
and imagine what it could feel like
to stay out of sight and leave our friends these lives tonight
(Vic Fuentes)
So dive around
and never let your body touch the ground
'cause right now you're feeling like you'll never come back down
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
Over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
Stare up high
and imagine what it would be like
to fly tonight to fly tonight
away from here leave our loves leave our lives behind
and fly tonight just fly tonight
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
And over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
and imagine what it could feel like
to fly tonight and leave our home our lives behind
We'll dive around
and never let our bodies touch the ground
and right now I'm feeling like I'll never go back down
Till then, taking flights around the corner ends and bends
I'll soar up higher to admire when
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
Over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
Stare outside
and imagine what it could feel like
to stay out of sight and leave our friends these lives tonight
(Vic Fuentes)
So dive around
and never let your body touch the ground
'cause right now you're feeling like you'll never come back down
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
Over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
Stare up high
and imagine what it would be like
to fly tonight to fly tonight
away from here leave our loves leave our lives behind
and fly tonight just fly tonight
Fly away with me
Try a little harder to flap your wings
High above the sea
Get a little higher follow me
Around the constellations
And over the mountain ranges
Lets go flying lets go
