| | Paper Wings Lyrics Artist(Band):Rise Against
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around To catch you falling down And I'm looking at you now And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once That was a conversation you took nothing from SO RAISE YOUR GLASS *now* AND celebrate exactly what you've done Just put off another day of knowing where you're from You can catch up with yourself if you run And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I Is this the life that you lead? Or the life that's led for you? Will you take the road thats been laid out before you? Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? Somewhere else tonight... (Somewhere else.....) And I cant tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I And I cant tell if you're laughing Between each smile theres a tear in your eye Theres a train leaving town in an hour Its not waiting for you and neither am I If you find some error in Paper Wings Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Paper Wings This song is Super! | Reviewer: Said Suleiman Juma | 12/15/09 To be honest, before i did not like rock music may be for the reason that i did not had enough time to listen to them, but now I swear, i like rock music and after short time I start to play burnout 3 take downs I heard this song, I liked it very much, then I decided to go to the internet to download it. This is the best song ever to be honest. Also i like the song: Breathing - Yellow card Saccharine Smile - Donots Thanks Guys. Said. StinDuh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/28/09 I see Paper Wings about someone who has made some bad decisions in their life. "I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around To catch you falling down And I'm looking at you now" Here he is talking about someone he used to be friends with, who then made some bad decisions, and the decisions "sent him spiraling down" and he landed himself somewhere where no one wanted to help him. "Is this the life that you lead? Or the life that's led for you? Will you take the road thats been laid out before you?" Here he is saying "Is this what you want to do or what the people around you want you to do?" "Just put off another day of knowing where you're from You can catch up with yourself if you run" Here he is saying "You can get back to the life you had, before your wrong decisions if you try". "And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I" In the chorus he's asking if this is making you happy, or is it making you sad? Is this fun? The right thing to do? Or does it sadden you? The train leaving town is his other life. He could pursue it, but no one's waiting for him to do so. answeri for the comment"drums" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/25/09 Well, I´m a drummer too. And I can tell you: The drummer isnt as good as its seems to you. I´m playing the drums now for approxamtaley 2 years and i can play all of the songs written by RA (I know someone else can play the earlier as i do, I know im not a good drummer blah blah ). so the drummer isnt bad is he. But he isnt the best. hes playing the same patterns alot. Btw I love this song :) meaning | Reviewer: DarkleSSV | 10/31/09 I think this song is advice to someone (Dont know who) that they have been preparing and planing there life and trying to live up to there standards but hes watched them and they have just crashed and burned. So his advice is listen to what you were told before and just skip the fences and go off the road you have chose otherwise you are just going to end up regreting youre life. So he asks, are you going to follow everyone else and stay on the road if not then theres the train so get on it as soon as you can before its too late beacuse im not wateing. Different Meaning | Reviewer: BJ | 10/23/09 It seems a lot of people see "Paper Wings" as a song about a girl that's leaving, or something to that effect. I see it as a song talking about how someones life somewhere along the way took a turn that maybe they hadn't intended on taking. One last thing I beg you please, just before you go (Talking to himself) I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world (Living a life that wasn’t mean for him) until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down (He realized that this wasn’t sustainable) Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around To catch you falling down (Now he’s far from who he was with nothing to fall back on) And I'm looking at you now (Inner self talking to him) And I can't tell if you're laughing (Is the happiness he’s showing a front) Between each smile there's a tear in your eye (Although he seems happy, his inner self knows he’s hurting inside) There's a train leaving town in an hour (The life he should be living is about to be unattainable) It's not waiting for you and neither am I (The drive to pursue(inner self) his dream when it leaves will no longer be there) Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once That was a conversation you took nothing from (He did not pursue his dreams) SO RAISE YOUR GLASS *now* AND celebrate exactly what you've done (Celebrate the “Success” you’ve had) Just put off another day of knowing where you're from (Ignoring who he is inside) You can catch up with yourself if you run (He has to do a lot to get back to his true self) Is this the life that you lead? (Did you choose this) Or the life that's led for you? (Or the life that was predetermined that you didn’t have to strive for) Will you take the road thats been laid out before you? (Will you take the easy way out?) Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? (Inner self to self) Best song ever! | Reviewer: chris | 9/28/09 I think this song is one of the best by Rise Against, i only started listening to them recently but i just started to get hooked because of the way they portray messages and the way everything fits. This song is an image of Rise Against's Awesomeness because it has: good guitar, mint solo, amazing transition and the lyrics are catchy (If your me!).I think this song is one of the best ever (IN THE WORLD!)and i would give it 10/10. paper wings | Reviewer: bek | 8/23/09 i LOVE this song...it is the best song in the world...even tho it's not really tht emo but it is still AWESOME...if anyone doesn't like this song then there is something seriously wrong wid u ppl ion the head...peace out..lol...bye Drums | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/6/09 there's always alot of talk about the vocals, lyrics and guitar. i personally was drawn to rise against because of the drums. seeing them live was incredible too. having a drummer for a brother made me appreciate them!! the vocalist is also amazing, so much range, and passion. they put meaning into their music cause they're not a drug induced frenzy, they're straight edge. i admire that, even if im not straight edge. Paper Wings | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/25/09 Yeah, good song for sure. One of RA's best. Everything fits together perfectly. Very well written. The solo is also amazing. Difficulty doesn't make a solo good, the sound does. Nice transition after the solo, too, complete change in song. One of my favorites. Lyrics - Music | Reviewer: Adriel | 1/24/09 i think music and lyrics have to be equal. nevertheless this is a great song because it executes the lyrics and sound perfectly. thought this is just my opinion and it shouldn't get in the way of anyone else.
