Flying High Falling Low

Walking On Cars' song "Flying High Falling Low" delves into the emotional turbulence that many people experience in their daily lives. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the highs and lows that come with personal and financial struggles. The recurring line, "Is that time of the year again and you know I'd love to buy you something, but you know that I've got nothing," highlights the pressure and guilt associated with not being able to provide for loved ones, especially during significant times like holidays or anniversaries.

The chorus, with its contrasting imagery of "flying high" and "falling low," captures the essence of life's unpredictability. One moment, the narrator feels invincible, like they are "made of gold," and the next, they are brought down to earth, feeling as fragile as "stone." This duality reflects the common human experience of fluctuating between moments of triumph and despair. The repetition of the phrase "I've had enough" underscores a sense of exhaustion and frustration, as the narrator feels trapped in a cycle of highs and lows, seeking answers to what comes next.

The song also touches on themes of acceptance and unconditional love. Despite the narrator's struggles and feelings of inadequacy, there is a sense of solace in knowing that their partner accepts them as they are. The line, "I promised you better, but this is all I have. You say it's okay and you take me as I am," speaks to the power of love and acceptance in the face of adversity. Walking On Cars' emotive delivery and poignant lyrics resonate with anyone who has felt the weight of life's challenges and the comfort of being loved despite them.
