Post 4 - Song Annotation


Flying, climbing,
This is what I feel when I'm reverse skydiving,
Neptune, shining,
Frying all the elements as they're combining,
Rewind, timing,
This be the contract for sky I'll be signing,
No concern for wining or dining,
Wind so blue that it might be blinding,
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

Flying, climbing,
Giving me a smile, that's the inverse of crying
Upwards, mining
My dress seems like a ruby and the stars be aligning
Sky that's shining
Angles that I'm turning on continue refining
No concern for eyes that are prying
Spell my name with lighting and keep rewinding
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

Flying, climbing,
This is what I feel when I'm reverse skydiving,
Neptune, shining,
Frying all the elements as they're combining,
Rewind, timing,
This be the contract for sky I'll be signing,
No concern for wining or dining,
Wind so blue that it might be blinding,
All that I know is I won't be minding

You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me
You don't have to jump to fly with me

I believe this song 'Reverse Sky-diving' in my opinion is about a girl either going through her daily routine that she does every single day, or that she is on drugs or that this could possibly be an imagination or a dream that she is having. What suggests this is the lyric 'frying all the elements as they're combining'. This lyric/line could suggest the first opinion of the song about a girl doing her daily work every single day and that she cant wait till the night. The word that suggests this is 'frying' as it sounds like she wants to merge and cook together quickly all the bad and depressing things in the day and wait for the night to come. A lyric that finishes that story of is 'all that i know is i wont be minding' as this line says that she doesnt mind whatever she does in the day doesnt matter, as long as she's got the night so she doesnt mind all the daily things she has to do. However, what could suggest my other opinion is the dream/imagination/drugs is that whole lyric title 'reverse sky-diving' as no one can reverse sky dive, as it's impossible. So it could make the listeners realise that she is dreaming this or her imagination is playing with her mind. What could indicate that she is on drugs is the lyric 'wind so blue that it might be blinding' as sometimes when your on drugs they can make you hallucinate and see different objects and colours, so the bright colours from the drugs is blinding her. This song has so many different interpretations that could all be created in this music video.
