about

Flight is about inevitable transformation from one thing to the next, originally inspired by the book Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach. The song is about aiming to reach higher in life by focusing on what could be rather than what is. The intentional use of experimentalism aims to capture a feral quality.

lyrics

Head up high in the physical world
Boy is brave so much to learn
The needle’s eye, a needle burnt
Such delicate wings, rarely heard

Pack your things so far to fly
Way up there towards the light
The look on your face has a story to tell
Tell us the truth or just stay in hell

I’m on leave
Into the sun
So easily done
So hard to ignore
Freshen the squeeze
In I breathe
Staying alive
This ship goes on and on and on and on in flight
So far and wide
See how it leaves a trail of colour in the sky

Look, look not a sound
Ancient love or heresy
When I am you and you are me
And we are here and we are proud

Look up here to the spirit world
Are you ready to die, ready to twirl
The look on your face has a story to tell
Tell us the truth or just stay in hell

I want you to know
Oh divine
I’m on my way home
To this temple of mine
I’ve come to return
No longer
A hero
This ship goes on and on and on and on in flight
So far and wide
See how it leaves a trail of colour in the sky

Rainbow bridge
Come on man get these colours done Rainbow bridge
Rainbow bridge
Help me to finish the run
The euphoria of hard earned completion
The euphoria of hard earned completion
