Artist: Lana Del Rey

Genre: Pop

Length: 5:48

One of the two songs Lana wrote for Tim Burton’s movie Big Eyes. While “Big Eyes” is the theme song for the movie, “I Can Fly” is the end credits theme. It captures the female protagonist’s emotions as she is set free from the pre-feministic cage she was in.

I Can Fly lyrics

I, can fly
You had me caged up like a burning red summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, I'm fire awaiting to fly
I, can fly
I had pride, wishes in the summer, I was bathing in sunlight,
Painting in the garden, like a ghost in meteor light,
Running fast from something with my eyes wide, like so suspended in the sun
I had a dream that I was fine,
I wasn't crazy, I was divine
I, can fly,
You had me caged up like a burning red summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, I'm fire awaiting to fly
I, can fly
Your lies were hard, kisses in the summer
I was dreaming of a lake, dreaming of the water where I'd rise like a phoenix
Sore and iron from the fire, I've got things to tell you, like, I know that you're a liar
I had a dream that I was fine,
I wasn't crazy, I was divine
I, can fly,
You had me caged up like a burning red summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, I'm fire awaiting to fly
I, can fly
Your words cut like a knife in butter
I was fighting for my art, fighting with my lover
Thinking there's no water
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
I, can fly,
You had me caged up like a burning red summer
You saw me waiting, I was crazy, I'm fire awaiting to fly
I, can fly
