Hello Hive Open Mic. I am glad to present you this song that took me 2 days to compose. It is one of my best so far but what is scary is, I don’t know the meaning. I think I am singing about an angel anyway because of the features of the person beside me (in the song). The person was glowing at the end of the song and took me to the sky.

I also think it's God or some other mystical being, but I am not sure, weird right? How do I write a song and not know who it is for?

Then there was the initial thought I had and that was that it was for a lover who saved me from bad times. I actually had a dream like that once.

To say the truth besides all my theories is the last one and that’s that it's based on Peter Pan. Flying above the sea. My initial lyrics included references to captain hook but today when I was working on the song I let go of that idea and just went with what was on my mind which was whatever rhymed and felt good.

I hope I have not confused anyone and I hope you can still enjoy the song, let me know what you think the song is all about in the comment section so we can figure this out together,

Lyrics

Fly High
Fly High
Fly High

I was walking in the water
It was deep and you were with me
And I was drowning and you were by my side
And you said, you said that you’d never leave

Fly High
Fly High
Fly High

As I looked across the sea
And the sea, the sea was staring back at me
As I drown

Water my head
Water my head
Water my head
What's up ahead?

Fly High just you and me
Fly High cross
Fly High just you and me

As close my eyes
And lose my breath
I realise
I’m in the air

And you start to glow and then I know

Water my head
Water my head
You water my head
You water my head

As close my eyes
And lose my breath
I realise
I’m in the air

And you start to glow and then I know

Water my head
Water my head
You water my head
You water my head

Fly High just you and me
Fly High cross
Fly High just you and me

Fly High
Fly High
Fly High

Hola Hive Open Mic. Me complace presentaros esta canción que me llevó 2 días componer. Es una de las mejores que he compuesto hasta ahora, pero lo que me da miedo es que no sé el significado. Creo que estoy cantando sobre un ángel de todos modos debido a las características de la persona a mi lado (en la canción). La persona brillaba al final de la canción y me llevó al cielo.

También creo que es Dios o algún otro ser místico, pero no estoy seguro, raro ¿no? ¿Cómo puedo escribir una canción y no saber para quién es?

Luego estaba el pensamiento inicial que tuve y era que era para un amante que me salvó de los malos momentos. De hecho, una vez tuve un sueño así.

A decir verdad además de todas mis teorías está la última y es que está basada en Peter Pan. Volando sobre el mar. Mi letra inicial incluía referencias al capitán hook pero hoy cuando estaba trabajando en la canción solté esa idea y solo fui con lo que tenía en mente que era cualquier cosa que rimara y se sintiera bien.

Espero no haber confundido a nadie y que podáis seguir disfrutando de la canción. Decidme de qué pensáis que trata la canción en la sección de comentarios para que podamos resolverlo juntos,
