| | Given To Fly Lyrics Artist(Band):Pearl Jam
But he tuned out A bad time, nothing could save him Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree The wind rose up, set him down on his knee A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at him now" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor Oh, power, oh He's.. flying Whole… High.. wide, oh He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed By faceless men, well, fuckers He still stands And he still gives his love, he just gives it away The love he receives is the love that is saved And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky A human being that was given to fly High.. flying Oh, oh High.. flying Oh, oh He’s…flying Oh, oh If you find some error in Given To Fly Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Given To Fly This song had a huge influence on me | Reviewer: manoova | 10/1/09 It helped me quit my highly paid, but boring (and slightly evil) job as an ad agency CEO and do what I always wanted to do, which is to fly aerobatics for a living. And for the past 8 years it's worked out. I might be poorer financially, but I'm a lot richer in a million other ways. Meaning of song obvious | Reviewer: Jay Boy | 10/3/09 The song is about learning to surf waves. The feeling you get when you surf your first wave can be described as flying. The line "A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw Delivered him wings" kind of gives it away. It is a really good song and pearl jaam is one of my favorite bands. Jay Boy / sweden beautiful, regardless | Reviewer: kuyzat | 4/22/09 I'm under the impression that the beginning of the song is actually: He could’ve TURNED in, tuned in But he tuned out BY BED time, nothing could save him what do you think? I absolutely love this song. Some of u say a song represents different things to different ppl. Sure, most of us agree, but the point is, what does it mean to you? The point is us sharing our views of the world, our feelings and learning from each other. It is valuable to talk about our differences, as long as we stay polite and open minded. For me, this song is about some1, who is rather rebellious, finding out about the world at large, discovering that there is something else, something magnificent, over the hill. Instead of being selfish and just moving on to explore, he/she turns back and wants to liberate others, to take them over the hill to explore, to grow, to be free. But ppl are afraid of the unknown, afraid of change and some of them attack him/her defensively. But he/she doesn't hold a grudge, he/she wont just let it go and so he/ takes off again, to fly away, over the hill. "And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly" Beautiful song, most of us think so, regardless of how we interpret it. no clue, great thoughts already! | Reviewer: Slater | 3/12/09 im not sure what the message is, or if its even intended to have one. but i've heard other great song writers awnser questions asked "what is the meaning to this song??" and they've replied somthin like "everyone has their own meaning to a song, it can be about w/e they feel it's about." not sayin Vedder said that but thats how i see it. no need to argue. we all love Pearl Jam and the great tunes they've brought us thru the years. the meaning of the song could be just about anything you yourself see's it as. cheers to all! it's not religious - it's spiritual | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/15/09 my view is that the song is a story of a man who is disillusioned with the chains and strictures society has put on him, through our beliefs (including, but not limited to, religion). he as a smoke - pretty clear meaning there - which opens his mind. nothing new or difficult to understand about how that works as anyone who has used any kind of meditative medicinal aide to "opening the mind". the glory and love of life which is revealed to him is such that he wants to share it with all - which is really all most religion is based on, a prophet who can see the miracle of life and tries to convince others, and for his efforts, is killed. i think it's Eddie's personal feelings of being unable to open people's eyes to the lunacy and hipocrisy of the chains of society - but like everything, this is just my view. My personal thoughts | Reviewer: J | 2/1/09 Hey, I'm no Christian fundamentalist, in fact, I'm pretty much open-minded about all religions, but when I hear this song, and really listen to the lyrics I still think that it's about Jesus or a Christ-like figure. Someone who loves, sees things that others don't and suffers because of those things, yet still loves and spreads love. If the song wasn't intentially about Jesus, I think that EV knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote them, and figured that people would interpret them this way. The similarities of coming back to unlock the chains he saw everywhere, being stabbed by faceless fuckers, but still standing, etc... Just very jesus-like. Oh, and the previous person who said somethinga bout Jesus having a smoke, why not? Perhaps it's meant to have meaning in a different way, or be symbolic, or maybe it just sounded good with the other lyrics. Some words have no deep meaning at all. It must be a riot for songwriters to watch people like us bend over backwards trying to figure out what they 'meant' when half the time they are just writing things that spill out of their heads randomly. Perhaps they have some deep, subconcsious meaning, but the writer may have no clue themselves. Review | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/08 this song to me is about a person who was so miserable, isolated and disillusioned with his world that he chose to just live and be wherever that might take him and because he had the courage to do this he was free, and he tried to show others people but they didn't want to be free because it was too scary so out of fear they mauled him, but that didn't matter because he was free Agendas | Reviewer: Dapper Swindler | 8/30/08 The only credible analysis is one that is free of any agenda. A writer will still have a bias, this is not to be feared. If writers want to create unbiased work, they should limit themselves to Euclidean geometry. But a responsible reader should never mistake a bias for an agenda. Once the song was published, the author's intentions attached to meaning were lost. The writer has one truth, the reader another. Sometimes they are the same, and sometimes a Parrot will say your name. I have said too much, and my agenda is exposed. badfish, you are a moron. | Reviewer: james wann | 3/1/08 badfish, unless i'm hugely mistaken, illiterate means one who can't read or write. i would say that me reading your comment and replying by writing a comment would suggest you are wrong. please, please use words in the right context, you just seem as if you're making a big effort to seem intellectual. in all honesty, if this is the case, you are failing miserably. the intelligance of PJ fans | Reviewer: mike | 1/22/08 PJ fans are by far the most inteliigent of the lot ...PJ probably one of the most deep (pardon the pun) band around today. I wonder if Eddie ever reads these forums he must love the way everyone has their interpratations of their songs ..that is exactly the way he wants I reckon. Clearly they have a message and its about mankind and his relationship with earth...which is not good right now...Hail Hail Pearl Jam...
