11. I wanna get away - Literally anywhere i can get cheap tickets to
Come on with those deals, Southwest. I've got places to go.
This song is actually more about ambition than travel deals.
I've always loved the greek story of Icarus, the boy with the wax wings who flew too close to the sun and died an untimely death after they melted off.
Hey, if I had wings that let me fly i'd try to see how high i can go too.
But how come he didn't look down? Surely he'd realize that his wings were literally falling off??
Why can't you be ambitious but also be careful?
Maybe that's the whole point of the story. That you should be ambitious without being arrogant.
Or just develop some self awareness.
Lyrics
VERSE I
I stare into the sunshine
stare into the sunshine
and i go blind
blind with fear of falling back
wings of wax that let me fly
and i go sky high
and i go sky high
and i go sky high
and i go sky high
BUILD
I’d like to get away
No matter how far and wide, like to get away
and every time that i fly, its an endless chase
know that i can’t let it go
I’d like to get away
No matter how far and wide, like to get away
and every height that i climb, it’s another end
know that i can’t let it go
DROP
BUILD
Where do you want to travel to? What's that dream that you keep chasing?

Watching how two dogs who love each other will sometimes still nip each other on the ear, bug them while they sleep, etc... watching how cats will snuggle with their buddy all day and then paw-smack 'em in the face, chase them, play-fight...
Makes me, as a fellow social mammal, feel better about my urge to be incredibly annoying to another human sometimes. Like, yeah. Of course I wanna bug you. Of course it's fun to annoy you. We're social creatures and annoyance can be part of play, something we all need. And I watch these dogs who get their ears nipped, cats who get smacked out of a nap, and despite BEING annoyed, they don't stop loving their packmate. After they finish play-fighting, they're back to snuggling and grooming and sleeping together. BEING annoyed is also just part of being in a social group and having relationships... and that's okay. It doesn't erase love or necessarily make them mad or affect them in the long term... a loved one being annoyed with me is a temporary feeling that's normal for social creatures. An annoyance that wouldn't be possible WITHOUT that love
