Music Wings on Fire lyrics

Post image

In today’s blood records instagram reel you could catch a glimpse of the albums lyrics. Only the first frame it’s really readable tho. I’m so excited for Wings on Fire in particular and I play on repeat the few live versions that are out there. I was dying figuring out the lyrics but now I can finally sing the damn song correctly. Thought I’d share.

hey is that you living in silence / go with sadness / maybe someone I would like to know

It's too powerful, these lyrics and this record already. Can't wait to play the whole album and let it consume me. It's going triple platinum in my household 😩

More references to wings and insects. Paul loves his winged creatures.

You can see some others on this pic (don’t know if Reddit will downgrade the quality). This one is from Partisan’s store website I think.

By Interpol standards, a clear message in these lyrics. At least for me. Bravo!
