Flying To The Ground
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This song was written about a friend of a friend of the band, who died a short time after having met the guys of Oswald. The person had a lot of challenges in life and sadly lost their life because of them.
To be different in this world
Is not to fit in fit in at all
I've been striving my whole life
To become what I should have been
Social recognition and some love was all I asked
Social recognition and some love
I'm flying to the ground now
Free falling to the moonlit streets below
I'm flying to the ground now
My only want was to wanna be me
Oh don't cry for me cos I'm never coming back
Oh that shooting pain as my spine begins to crack
Here's a message to the human race
You might of liked it but it wasn't my face
I never hid it yet your eyes were deceived
And when I kissed you, you wall believed
You remember that little rhyme 'string and lace'
You remember that little rhyme
I'm flying to the ground now
Free falling to the moonlit streets below
I'm flying to the ground now
My only want was to wanna be me
Oh don't cry for me cos I'm never coming back
Oh that shooting pain as my spine begins to crack
In a kind of funny way I'm glad to be gone won't you gimme a wave
Some regrets and I'll work them out, but not right now cos I'm checking out
Oh don't cry for me cos I'm never coming back
Oh that shooting pain as my spine begins to crack
I'm flying to the ground now
Free falling to the moonlit streets below
I'm flying to the ground now
My only want was to wanna be me
Oh don't cry for me cos I'm never coming back
Oh that shooting pain as my spine begins to crack
