These Old Wings

Anna Nalick

Transposer:

(x4) He raised his hand For the last time she could stand And the room was a grave that night She left a note it said "I'm not coming home" It took courage but she took flight And what are you really holding onto? Life is a tightrope and you're burning burning burning both ends It don't always move the way it ought to But don't let the ground drag you around And these old wings Have been a long time Been a long time coming These old wings Just gotta be good for something Burn these strings So I can see what these old Broken things What these old wings can do She sold the car for $1100 bucks And a bottle of something sweet She caught a train and counted seven stops And got off when she felt free And what are you really holding onto? Life is a tightrope and you're burning burning burning both ends It don't always move the way it ought to But don't let the ground drag you around And these old wings Have been a long time Been a long time coming These old wings Just gotta be good for something Burn these strings So I can see what these old Broken things What these old wings can do Flyyyyyyyyyyy Flyyyyyyyyyyy Flyyyyyyyyyyy Old wings high She found herself Where people go in gloom For friends that are buried there She wrote a note to God in a balloon And watched as it disappeared And what are you really holding onto? Life is a tightrope and you're burning burning burning both ends It don't always move the way it ought to But don't let the ground drag you around And these old wings Have been a long time Been a long time coming These old wings Just gotta be good for something Burn these strings So I can see what these old Broken things What these old wings can do (x4)

La chanson évoque le parcours difficile d’une personne qui prend la décision courageuse de quitter une situation pesante pour retrouver sa liberté. Elle décrit un moment de rupture, où elle réalise que, malgré les défis de la vie, il est essentiel de se libérer des entraves qui nous retiennent. Les vieux ailes symbolisent l'espoir et le potentiel, reflétant que même si l'on a vécu des expériences douloureuses, il y a toujours la possibilité de s'envoler vers quelque chose de meilleur. Le contexte de la chanson semble tourner autour d'un passage à l'âge adulte et de la quête d'authenticité. En vendant ce qui lui appartient pour partir à la recherche de soi, on ressent le besoin de faire face à ses démons tout en gardant un lien spirituel, comme écrire à Dieu. Cela met en lumière la lutte intérieure que beaucoup peuvent ressentir lorsqu'ils cherchent leur place dans un monde complexe et parfois accablant.
