Lyrics for broken wings as interpreted by thesimpleways

broken wings Lyrics
Thank you for being such a friend to me
Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh you're everything to me
Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
Contemplating phrases....I'm gazing at eternity,
I am floating in serenity...

And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed

Please don't leave just yet
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever

Under your stars tonight
We'll live and breathe this dream

So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
1000 broken hearts, carried by 1000 broken wings

this songs awesome
i think its about someone who is in love with their best friend but cant tell them and now their friend is leaving and he/she really wants to tell their friend the truth.
he/she may even be accepting the fact that they wont ever tell their friend through the lines "So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories"
as if to say, "youll always be my best friend, and ill always love you but go on with your life and ill go on with mine, just dont forget me"

*this may be wrong but it's what i, myself take from it*
i feel like it about talking to a friend who may not be in a good place in their life. Someone's trying to tell them how much they mean in this world and that they are very important. It's about knowing that in someways we all feel pain and if we have eachother we can share expierences and not feel that our emotions way over our lives.

"So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I fall you're underneath
1000 broken hearts, carried by 1000 broken wings"

it's a great song and it has a way of making me feel better rather i have the right message from it

The first verse is incorrect... It goes
Oh you mean so much to me - not your everything to me

My first interpretation of the song was that a good friend had passed away and she's wanting to hold onto the memories, wishing she had more and that they had not left her
"So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories"
but she is finally coming to terms with it knowing that her friend will still be there living an eternal life and watching over her.

Another way of looking at it is she may have realized the importance of a good friend and promises never to take them for granted and is overwhelmed by the fact that she has someone for life.

Rest In Peace Loki.
This Song was perfect for you.

ilovemax: I believe your first interpretation was correct. But maybe thats because thats what the meaning of the song has become to me and many others.

Okay Zakuro I don't even know you but I wan to hug you. -hugs- (I am super sorry if that sounded creepy!)

To me this song is about how really good friends can help you through rough times. They can catch you when you fall and put you back on your feet. You can also think about God that way. He will always catch you and set you straight again. He will never betray you no matter how many times you betray Him. He will always forgive you if you ask for Him to.

When i first heard this song it made me really sad...sad to tears because my best friend recently ended his own life...

but now, it almost makes me cry out of happiness because I've found the most amazing girl who has helped me deal with a lot of shit. so now when I listen to this song. I think of her, how shes helped me & how much I love her & how we are going to be together forever.

i know that tons of people have their own way of looking at this song. i can see all the peoples ways that have commented on this song so far. but i want to go with the passing4sane17. for me this song and that interpetation hits a soft spot for me. it brings back so many wonderful memories and also so many things i want to tell one of my best friends but i can't tell him.

This song was exactly what happened to me.
I kinda fell in love with a friend but could never tell him. He made me the happiest person in the world even if it was just seeing him for 5 minutes. I couldn't even explain it. And I hoped for him to always be a best friend to me. I now say I just miss him cuz I don't get to see him a lot but I know I still love him.

This song for me is about a boy who was my best friend for a really long time. He meant everything to me and was my security and took care of me in every way i needed, and although i didnt realize it was very, very dependent upon him. Then something happened and i dont know what it was but we simply stopped being friends...and so I think this song is about when you lose an awesome friend and are suddenly realizing how much they meant to you and how much you miss them, but can't find the right words to tell them how much.

ok i think this song is about a close friend attempting suicide: Thank you for being such a friend to me
Oh I pray a friend for life,
And have I ever told you how much you mean to me?
Oh you're everything to me
Thinking all the time how to tell you what I feel,
Contemplating phrases....I'm gazing at eternity,
I am floating in serenity... (shes just telling that person what a good friend he/she was)

Please don't leave just yet
Can you stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever(she wants to say goodbyr but at the same time she wants them to stay)

So close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories(she wants them to rest but not die and wants to spend more time with them)

And when I fall you're underneath(friend isnt there anymore but is protecting her as an angel)

1000 broken hearts, carried by 1000 broken wings(ppl with broken hearts go to heaven with broken wings)

I agree with conejita...in a way.
I think this song is talking about a friend who died...
Like how in the first verse it says about and have i ever told you how muchyou mean to me.
They are saying they never got to tell them what they ment to them before it was too late.
And it says they are gazing at eternity
So its like there friend slipped away ito eternity.
And then in the second verse it talks about dancing and being together so its like in her mind they are still together.
An then at the end "so close your eyes but dont dream too deep"
Its like saying you died but ill see you agian one day your not gone forever.
"pass me some memories"
I remember you and relive the moments we had together.
And then "when i fall your underneath"
I can still picture and feel you with me.
"1000 broken hearts carried by a thousand wings"
When I hurt you hurt too and you are with me.

This song is beautiful.
I don't think it's necessarily about death, per se.
I think that it's about someone that means so much to you, that you don't even know how to express it the right way, and you never want them to leave because you're so happy when you're with them.

Ok love this song! And the meaning i think it means like you been there for me through everything and i miss u so much and u been around for a while and i just wanted to say ''You mean so much to me'' And u crushed 1000 broken hearts when u left. so ''Thank you for being such a friend to me''

Ok thats what i think it means. like she said please dont go just yet i can tell u wat i feel and its just so sad cause i didnt understand wat it meant before now i do and now i dont want to know wat it means. its just so sad.

i agree with like everyone lol. to me this song is about loving a best friend that is leaving or dying and you cant tell them how much you acctually love them cuz you just have your reasons.
wanted to point out how ironic it is how someone can be there for you and support you the most, and yet be the one whos hurting you most also by unkowingly breaking your heart. :(
