Owl City: To The Sky Meaning

To The Sky Lyrics

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

Shipwreck in the sea of faces,
There's a dreamy world up there,
Dear friends in higher places,
Carry me away from here,
Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is...

   There could be another interpretation, too. The song could be about dying or Heaven/whatever you believe in. The first lines seem like that: There's a dreamy world up there//Dear friends in higher places. Honesstly, I think it's just about the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

   This song means to chase your dreams and break free from t expectations of society. "Bid the forest floor goodbye" means to venture out into the world on your own and follow your dream despite the odds.

   I think that the song means to be free of whatever is restraining you and go into the world, and to chase your dreams and look for opportunities.

   I think this is about chasing your dreams, as said in the song and the joy of freedom and innocence (wide eyes will always brighten the blue, travel light let the sun eclipse you)

   I think this was really just made for the movie. But whenever Adam makes a song it ALWAYS means something.

   It's a song about following your dreams, regardless of any obstacles that may stand in the way of you doing so.
