In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Gotta find a way
Yeah, I cant wait another day
Ain't nothing gonna change
If we stay 'round here
Gotta do what it takes
'Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes
Yeah, but it's never too late
To start again, take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, yeah, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly, yeah
If this life
It seems harder now
It ain't no never mind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we could catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, 'cause we won't let nothing, or no-one, keep getting us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, yeah, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Do you see a bluer sky now
You can have a better life now
Open your eyes
'Cause no one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, honey, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't
Yeah, we just fly away
Yeah, I cant wait another day
Ain't nothing gonna change
If we stay 'round here
Gotta do what it takes
'Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes
Yeah, but it's never too late
To start again, take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, yeah, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly, yeah
If this life
It seems harder now
It ain't no never mind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we could catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, 'cause we won't let nothing, or no-one, keep getting us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, yeah, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Do you see a bluer sky now
You can have a better life now
Open your eyes
'Cause no one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere, honey, I don't care
We just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't
Yeah, we just fly away

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
You know out of all of Aerosmith's newer songs (which i am not as big a fan of) I think this song is by far the best. It has such a great message. In this troubled world that we live in wouldn't it be so wonderful to just get away from it all. I really love the line
"Maybe you and I could pack out bags and hit the sky"
This song sort of takes you to a fantasy place while you listen to it and for a moment you are free from all the problems in todays world. It's like paradise. Such a beautiful song it is. I think its important to just forget about the bad stuff sometimes and just "fly away from here."
Good, good song.
I think it means just letting everything drop and leaving all your troubles behind.
i think this song means taking the final plunge...either its love or leaving home...maybe even its saying like...how he breaks up with a girl and then he meets a new girl ..and he has to learn to fly again...because it says we all make mistakes..but...i like this song aloooot
This song means a lot to me, because I had to hastily leave my home and move somewhere else, and where I came, I made a lot of my dreams come true, and I feel this represents some of my dreams that I haven't fulfilled yet.
Love this song
I agree u2elevation. This song came out when I was just heading into some kind of depression in 2001, and it would move me and break me in tears. It made me feel that it was ok to feel down "we all make mistakes", and gave me hope that "it's never too late" to get better...It still does...Very touching, moving, a song to remember...
The lyrics are so simple...straight to the point. You know, that's what I love about Aerosmith. Tyler says exactly what he means and though it might be the plainest clichest thing ever, when it slurs for Steven's lips...there's nothing that can compare. I don't care what people say about Steven's singing--the boy's got passion written all over him.
this is my grad song haha
This is my favorite Aerosmith song right along with Kiss Your Pass Goodbye. The video is amazing as well. I can relate with the lyrics that say to pack your bags and hit the sky. I think everyone wishes they could do that at one point in their life.
