Fly (Phillip Phillips song)
"Fly" is a song by American singer-songwriter Phillip Phillips from his second studio album, Behind the Light, which will be released by Interscope Records.
Background
"Fly" was recorded in New York City and was produced by Todd Clark.
Lyrical interpretation
MUSICInsideU says that "Fly is about the battle between who people think he is and tie him down to, and who he really is. "These people never notice me. Am I the only one who thinks it's hard." Phillip breaks other people's categories of him, mixing rock guitar solos with his typical acoustic sound. His almost-country style voice also blends with darker rock lyrics in the new single Fly." He added "The meaning of Phillip Phillips' Fly is about who he is - applied to you, it's about who you are. Outside, there's "the busy street... these people never notice me." I don't fit in, says Phillip, "it's hard to say what's on my mind." The questions are "give up? How should I survive?" A part feels like just giving in and blending into the "two thousand faces" of the crowd. The deeper part of Phillip rebels against just being like everyone else. "Think your fight is over? It's only so much closer." Phillip won't give up breaking out of the walls of this "cruel maze" of a nameless society: "I reach my hands to the sky... and fly!""
Fly (clothing)
A fly on clothing is a covering over an opening concealing the mechanism, such as a zip, velcro, or buttons, used to close the opening. The term is most frequently applied to a short opening over the groin in trousers, shorts, and other garments, which makes them easier to put on or take off and allows men and boys to urinate without lowering the garment. The term is also used of overcoats, where a design of the same shape is used to hide a row of buttons. This style is common on a wide range of coats, from single-breasted Chesterfields to covert coats.
An open fly is a fly that has been left unzipped or unbuttoned.
Trousers have varied historically in whether or not they have flies. Originally, trousers did not have flies or other openings, being pulled down for sanitary functions. The use of a codpiece, a separate covering attached to the trousers, became popular in 16th-century Europe, eventually evolving into an attached fall-front (or broad fall). The fly-front (split fall) emerged later. The panelled front returned as a sporting option, such as in riding breeches, but is now hardly used, flies being by far the most common fastening. Most flies now use a zip, though button flies continue in use.
Moko
In the mythology of Mangaia in the Cook Islands, Moko is a wily character and grandfather of the heroic Ngaru.
Moko is a ruler or king of the lizards, and he orders his lizard subjects to climb into the basket of the sky demon Amai-te-rangi to spy on him. When Amai-te-rangi pulls up his basket, he is disappointed to find it full of miserable little reptiles, which escape and overrun his home in the sky.

Moko (dolphin)
Moko (2006 – 7 July 2010) was a male bottlenose dolphin who associated with humans on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand from 2007 to 2010.
Moko, short for Mokotahi, a headland on Mahia Peninsula, was three-years-old as of July 2009. He resided at Mahia Beach for two and a half years from 2007 to September 2009, and became a major attraction there. He received worldwide fame when he rescued two pygmy sperm whales in March 2008. A year later, he trapped a woman out at sea. At the beginning of September 2009 Moko moved 80 km up the coast to Waikanae Beach, Gisborne, and in January 2010 he moved to Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty for five months before following a fishing boat to Tauranga on 3 June.Scientists were worried about Moko's welfare after a study found he had been scarred by boats and a fish hook. He was found dead on a beach at Matakana Island near Tauranga on 7 July 2010.
History
Rescue of pygmy sperm whales
In March 2008, Moko was seen helping two pygmy sperm whales that were trapped between a sandbar and Mahia beach. A local man who found the whales told his neighbour, Malcolm Smith, who was a Department of Conservation worker. Smith and other rescuers tried for an hour and a half to re-float the whales, with no success. Smith was wondering if it would be better to kill the two whales when Moko appeared. Moko approached the pair of distressed whales and led them through a narrow channel to the safety of the sea.

Unkraut
by: Phillie McIch seh` draußen auf der Straße wieder mal braune Fahnen wehen
Opis mit ihren hirnlosen Enkeln am Zaun im Garten stehen
und sie erwarten den Zeitpunkt um wieder aufzumarschieren
um mit der Faust zu regieren, uns alle auszuradieren.
Ich weiß, dunkle Wolken seh`n am Horizont immer bitter aus
und in den meisten Fällen bestätigt wird da ein Gewitter draus.
In Zeiten, wo der Kampfhund Mode ist, Politik 'ne Droge ist,
du `n blinder Pilot nur bist, wie`n Vollidiot im Showbizz.
Euch wird's immer geben, weil Unzufriedenheit Neid erzeugt,
und über Generationen hinweg macht ihr euch weiter breit,
wie die Pest über's Land oder wie AIDS in Afrika,
ihr seid wie Scheiße am Schuh oder die Zyklonen für die Galaktika,
ihr Spastiker, wie soll unsere Zukunft ausseh'n,
wenn wir nachts aus dem Haus geh'n, nur noch bewaffnet draußen steh'n?
Ich fang an zu beten und verbarrikadier' mich vor der Außenwelt,
wenn die mit braunem Dreck verseuchte Maschine unseres Landes ausfällt.
Warum Unkraut nie vergeht ist die Fangfrage,
warum sind Faschos auf den Straßen so 'ne Landplage?
Weil der Staat die braunen Massen wohl zu übersehen scheint,
also ballt eure Faust, wenn ihr mit mir dagegen seid.
Wenn ich heut auf die Straße geh' werde ich meist von rechts ein Stück gehetzt,
dann fühle ich mich von Angstschweiß durchnäßt Jahre zurückversetzt.
Wir haben doch alle demonstriert mit Kerzen auf'm Schützenfest,
doch Lichterketten nützen nix, wenn du mit dem Gesicht in der Pfütze liegst
und um dich herum die deutsche Jugend - hart, dumm und antriebslos,
kahlrasiert, uninformiert und die Zukunftsangst ist groß
und genau deshalb sind sie so, weil sie hier nun mal zuhause sind,
doch das heißt nicht, daß ich für diesen Dreck jemals Verständnis aufbring'
auch nicht für den Opi von nebenan, denn der kauft für seine Enkel
jedes Jahr 'n Paar schwarze Stiefel und dazu weiße Schnürsenkel
und er erzählt den Jungs Geschichten über wie es so damals war
und er dichtet was dazu, das macht die Story spannender.
Die Kinder lauschen gespannt, mit ihrem flauen Verstand,
komm' auf kranke Ideen, wie "Ausländer klauen uns das Land"
und daraus werden Massen von Faschos, die sich auf die Straße trauen
und wollen dann friedlichen Menschen, wie mir, auf die Nase hauen.
Damit kämen wir wieder zurück in die erste Szene,
ich das Gesicht in der Pfütze und einen Stiefel auf meiner Vene.
Er gab keine Diskussion, nein, man trat sofort rein
mir fiel nur noch ein Wort ein (FUCK) und danach biß ich in den Bordstein.
REFRAIN
Das ist hier leider nicht nur bei uns so, sondern auch in anderen Ländern,
nur bei uns ist es am schlimmsten, deshalb müssen wir was ändern.
Der Kampf wird geführt von Kennern, von mir und meinen Männern,
wir nageln Faschos auf Ständer und die Pisser verbrennen dann.
Was wird aus dir, wenn du auf einmal die Wut kriegst oder hilflos zusiehst,
wenn dein eigenes Blut fließt?
Wirst du dann mitkämpfen, weil dir jetzt auch soviel passiert ist
oder steckst du ein, gehst allein heim und ignorierst es?
