Paper Plane
Zino
This song is about chasing dreams, to do something you believe in, but constant doubts and voices from within and out keeps pulling you down, reminding you of the “norm” of the world that keeps on telling you you’ll fail, but you still can’t let go of it. Like a paper plane going where ever the wind blows.
Lyrics:
Stumbled up above an old staircase
Had a dream that I could fly away
Dived right in like a shooting star
I crashed out with a broken heart
A little bent and scarred, I fell behind
There’s a paper castle in the air
But the weight of the world is too much for me to bear
Dreams don’t fly
I can’t take the wind blowing in my face
Paper plane, don’t take me higher
Just to fall into pieces on ocean waves floating away
So scared of getting older
I watched friends get rings, have kids, gone sober
Why everything seems so much closer now?
They say you’ll fake a smile
Say “yeah, I’m fine”, maybe hate yourself
But only for a while
You’ll find a girl, heartbreak for her, let things occur
Go settle down
But I’m still so drunk on that airglow in the atmosphere
Maybe the weight of the world is just too much to bear
Tell me why dreams don’t fly
I can’t take the wind blowing in my face
Oh, paper plane, don’t take me higher
Just to fall into pieces on ocean waves
Dreams don’t fly
I can’t shake the wind blowing in my face
Paper plane, don’t take me higher
Just to fall into pieces on ocean waves floating away
