About This Track

‘Wings’ by SZA is a 2013 track from the album ‘S’. The lyrics place a narrator on the edge, feeling physical closeness and describing a partner as “murderous”, before slipping into a state of euphoric surrender, with the recurring plea to be woken when it is over. Between the threat and the ecstasy, the song leans into a dangerous, self-aware haze, marked by the repeated sense of falling, power, and numb ease.

"Wings" is a track by SZA, from the album S, released 28th October 2013. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about SZA.

Lyrics

Wings

[Verse 1]

Wouldn't you like to believe

I'm on the edge

I feel your palms on my back

You're murderous, you're murderous

[Refrain]

Swept and I fall, euphoria

Breeze in my eyes

Wake me when it's over

Wake me when it's over

[Pre-Chorus]

So painless, I feel the fall

Power trip, I need it all

I need it all

[Chorus]

When you're around, I feel it

When I'm alone, I feel the waves

Crashing down, down

Here in your arms, surround me

I feel your wings

What are you made of?

So what are you? What are you?

[Verse 2]

Forget I'm alive when you're here

Can lay here for miles

I know you feel me

You're comfortable

I feel your soul

[Refrain]

Swept and I fall, euphoria

Breeze in my eyes

Wake me when it's over

Wake me when it's over

[Bridge]

In the horizon, I see your face

I doubt you live when you say

How could you need me?

How could you need me?

How could you need me?

[Chorus]

When you're around, I feel it

When I'm alone, I feel the waves

Crashing down, down

Here in your arms, surround me

I feel your wings

What are you made of?

So what are you? What are you?

When you're around, I feel it

When I'm alone, I feel the waves

Crashing down, down

Here in your arms, surround me

I feel your wings

What are you made of?

So what are you? What are you?

It feels like SZA could do anything next, as she takes on London's O2 Arena

There’s a pop dungeon where artists live, sometimes for years, where they say, “it’s coming!” about an album that’s in the works (ahem, Rihanna, ahem, Sky Ferreira). SZA did a stint down there after releasing her cult and critical fave debut ‘Ctrl’ in 2017.
