Never satisfied when you’re goin’ past it

Like a phoenix I will rise from the flame
Flipping eyes on the ashes I remain
You used me up

But I’m not the same girl
Living …

They don’t know, now they know
I’ve been too busy getting money
I’ve been too busy playing these games that they play
That they want to play with me
M-m-m-Murda
She tell that I ball …
Mama, don’t you cry
Don’t you worry
I cannot stay here any longer1
The time has come to find
A distant calling2
That only seems to get much stronger3
And I know it’s hard
To see the one you come to lean on make his way4
Far beyond the womb5
But I can’t stay6
I won’t stop running7
I’m only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time8
The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders9
Won’t let this chance pass me by
Mama, I’m bent to fly10
Remember yesterday
Before the storm
Before the innocence was lost11
I promised I would stay
Forevermore
But every boy in time moves on12
Your wounds will heal someday
This I know13
But I am restless and so torn14
Mama, I can’t stay here anymore
I won’t stop running
I’m only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders
Won’t let this chance pass me by
Mama, I’m bent to fly
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising15
Gotta say my last goodbye16
Mama, don’t you cry
Don’t you worry
I cannot stay here any longer17
I won’t stop running
I’m only getting closer
To getting off the ground this time
The sky is calling
The wind is at my shoulders
Won’t let this chance pass me by
Mama, I’m bent to fly
Mama, I’m bent to fly18
I can feel it coming
A perfect storm is rising
I gotta say my last goodbye19
Slash reflects on his coming-of-age experience when he left his mother’s home in pursuit of something bigger.
Slash felt that he had a calling, and staying at home would not allow it to be fulfilled.
The desire to achieve his calling grew stronger and stronger.
Mothers often encounter many emotional difficulties when their sons leave their homes.
The womb here is a metaphor for the safekeeping of a mother.
Slash had to get out of the house and pursue a deeper purpose in life.
“I won’t stop running” means “I won’t stop toiling in the world to achieve my goals.”
“Getting off the ground” means “coming closer to achieving one’s goal.”
Slash felt like he had momentum early as a young dreamer.
Staying under his mother’s roof would have prevented him from achieving his dreams.
A boy is less innocent when he gets exposed to the “real world.”
Despite wanting to cling to their mothers, young males develop a stubborn sense of mission and usually decide to move out into the world.
Slash knows his mom will recover from her emotional despair.
Young men thrive on their restless pursuits
Young men often embrace serious challenges.
That is, my last goodbye to my mother.
Slash consoles his mother.
“I’m bent to fly” means “I’m destined to take on the world.”
This is a coming-of-age song about leaving the warmth of one’s home for the challenge of bigger things.

The song to me relates to life….the sacfafices made that ultimately drive you forward to a higher place. .freedom of the soul…an ending but also a beginning. A bitersweet goodbye to someone or something that doesn’t serve ones higher purpose. Bending. .but not till one breaks but instead to break free..I have it tattood onto my body. .I know this is my truth

I interpet this song to his contemplating suicide. If you take the lyrics literally having the sky calling and saying your last goodbye. He is telling his mother her wounds (losing him) will heal some day and that he’s fought the urge to leave but now the perfect storm is rising and he won’t fight to stay here on earth anymore. It’s a beautiful but haunting song. I would love to know what the songwriter says is the explaination for this song.
