party people around me
but i just could not fit in
sitting in the corner
drinking cola
pretending it's a black vodka
lenny came to take me away
surely everyone was OK
i talked to myself
i pinched myself
i wrote ten songs to entertain myself
my friends were dancing with their new friends
while i was jamming with my imagined band
i walked in the middle of the night
i walked in the middle of the night
i've learnt to fly
now i can fly anytime
i've learnt to fly
now i can fly anytime
well i survived till the end
but can i make it again next weekend
When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, the Pancakes' song 'I Want to Fly' expresses in a way the feeling of being an outsider in a social gathering, which is shown by the protagonist who is sitting alone and drinking a non-alcoholic beverage pretending to be part of the group. The lyrics illustrate a process of self-discovery and empowerment where the metaphor 'learning to fly' corresponds to acquiring the self-assurance and autonomy to take on life's trials and uncertainties. The song mainly expresses concepts like empowerment, freedom, joy, reflection, and inspiration. Meanwhile, it also points out the struggles of isolation and belonging, self-discovery and empowerment, and survival and resilience. The lyrics revolve around issues of social anxiety and self-reflection, which might not be appropriate for very young children. The situation of being out of place and the reference to alcohol (cola said to be vodka) do not imply bad things but rather suggest that young listeners may need parental guidance.
