With Wings Of Feathers And Glue

Suis La Lune's song "With Wings Of Feathers And Glue" delves into the complex emotions of vulnerability, fear, and the weight of promises. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night filled with anxiety and the struggle to find solace. The opening lines, "Night-time turns to dawn / In the corner of your eye," set the scene for a moment of introspection and reflection. The mention of listening to a song in the middle of the night suggests a shared experience that holds significant emotional weight for the narrator and their companion.

The recurring theme of fear, particularly the fear of falling asleep, underscores a sense of unease and the desire to stay awake to confront or avoid certain thoughts and feelings. The narrator's observation, "How it came over me when I saw your arms / (Feel so small) what have you done?" hints at a moment of realization or discovery, possibly of self-harm or another form of hidden pain. This revelation intensifies the narrator's sense of responsibility and their promise to take care of the other person.

The repeated promises, "I promised you that I would take care of you / I promised you that I would be there for you," highlight the narrator's deep commitment and the pressure they feel to fulfill these vows. The lyrics also reveal a sense of self-doubt and longing for validation, as seen in lines like "I wish I could be good / I wish I could matter to someone." This yearning for significance and connection is a poignant reminder of the universal human desire to be seen and valued. The song ultimately captures the delicate balance between hope and despair, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in the face of overwhelming emotions.
