Alicia Keys' composition explores the paradoxical nature of strength and vulnerability, juxtaposing feelings of empowerment with moments of uncertainty. The lyrics encapsulate the emotional spectrum experienced when one is on the cusp of a transformative journey. Through vivid metaphors, such as "riding high" and "hope my wings don't fail me now," Keys conveys the exhilaration and trepidation associated with taking significant risks in pursuit of one's aspirations. The recurring motif of flight symbolizes freedom and ambition, while also acknowledging the inherent risks involved. Ultimately, the song underscores the intrinsic value of experiencing both highs and lows as integral to personal growth, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from embracing life's challenges and uncertainties.
How It Feels To Fly
Lyrics
Have you ever felt so strong
That made you feel weak?
Long days
Long nights
And you just can't sleep
Have you ever been so sure
That it gave you cold feet?
Got you floatin' on air
You can feel your heart beat
Well, I never known this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't wanna come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) yeah
Have you ever felt so lost
But didn't know 'til you were found?
Looking everywhere
But you finally see now
In a room full of people
Feel like no one's around
Got your head in the clouds
And your feet are off the ground
Say I never knew this feeling, never
Now I hope it stays and lasts forever
I am riding high
Don't want to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
And if I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Say yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah) we get to go
(Fly)
Higher (fly)
Higher (fly high)
I am riding high
Don't wanna to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly
I am riding high
Don't wanna to come down
Hope my wings don't fail me now
If I can touch the sky
I'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
(Forever)
