Analysis of Rapture



I let the music flow around me,
Wrapping it close.
Pulling my wings to me,
I fly more than most.
As the feeling washed over me in waves,
On this day
It paves
A brand-new way.
I want to fly
Near the sun
Fly so high
Just for fun.
Fly high to the light,
When all around is night.
