"Hurts" is a British synth-pop duo, consisting of Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson. Their song "Wings" primarily centers around themes of support, comfort, and protection. The lyrics depict a person who feels like they are falling out of control, spiraling downward metaphorically from a state of happiness (Cloud 9). They ask for assurance that their loved one will be there to catch them when they fall, metaphorically referring to wrapping their wings around them. This symbolizes the desire for emotional support and comfort during challenging times. The song also introduces the idea of standing on the skyline, presumably representing a moment of decision or commitment. The person recognizes their flaws, symbolized by the hole in their parachute, and fears being pulled down by the weight of their struggles. They seek reassurance that their partner will be there to catch them, even if they are lost in a storm and calling for help. The chorus repeats the plea for their loved one to wrap their wings around them, emphasizing the need for protection, love, and support. The bridge briefly suggests a moment of freedom and joy while flying above the valley, possibly symbolizing a respite from their worries. Overall, "Wings" is about the vulnerability of individuals in relationships and the importance of having someone who will be there to offer support and maintain their sense of security, even during difficult times. The lyrics convey a yearning for unconditional love and reassurance that the person singing the song will not be abandoned or disregarded.
