White Flag Lyrics

Cover art for White Flag lyrics by Lakes

this is the best Lakes song to date! i can't believe no one has commented on this yet.

in this song he's confessing that he's learning to let go of things he has no control over in life. so accordingly, he mentions a white flag. a white flag is a symbol of a truce, a ceasefire and surrendering. i like how that became the name of this song.

i love the verse starting with "Feed me to the birds if it helps them grow strong" it gives me the impression that he's surrendering to let God take care of things and maybe he's growing in his faith, asking God to use him to help benefit others and help them along in their "wars."
