“In the song, the character starts to feel that he is rooted to the ground, but there is a force pulling him up to the sky. A voice calls out, "Come up and be a kite”, and he is drawn up to the sky and takes the form and texture of a kite. Suddenly he’s flying “like a feather on the wind”, and for a...
[Intro]
Come up and be a kite
[Verse 1]
Beelzebub is aching in my belly-o
My feet are heavy and I'm rooted in my Wellie-os
And I want to get away and go (I want to be)
From all these mirror windows (I want to be home)
I look at eye level, it isn't good enough
And then I find it out when I take a good look up
There's a hole in the sky with a big eyeball (There's a hole in the, there's a hole in the sky)
Calling me
[Chorus]
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond
A diamond kite on a diamond flight
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the lights, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
[Post-Chorus]
Come up and be a kite
[Verse 2]
I feel the rush along my body, like a bullet
I'm 2D after a push-and-pull feeling
And I want to get back to safe home (I want to be)
I love the homeland dome (I want to be home)
I got no limbs, I'm like a feather on the wind
I'm not sure if I want to be up here at all
And I'd like to be back on the ground (I'd like to be, I'd like to be down)
But I don't know how to get down-down-down
[Chorus]
Come up and be a kite
And fly a diamond night
A diamond kite, a diamond kite
Ooh, what a diamond
A diamond kite on a diamond flight
Over the lights, ooh, under the moon
Over the lights, ooh, under the moon
Over the moon, over the moon
[Outro]
Come up and be a kite
Come up and be a kite
