The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Feathery Wings" by the artist "Voltaire"

In "Feathery Wings," Voltaire addresses those on the brink of despair, who have lost hope and contemplate suicide. The lyrical hero, existing in a "different dimension," witnesses human suffering and empathizes with it. He feels their "taste of tears," "pricks of pain," "smell of fear," and "sounds of crying."

The hero himself suffers, trapped in this "place" and longing to return "home." He is exhausted by the pain and suffering around him, yet he still strives to help, dreaming of "feathery wings" that would allow him to become a savior for the drowning and a prayer for the dying. He urges the desperate not to give up, to smile in the face of death, because their suffering is ending, while his is just beginning.

The ending is filled with the hero's pleas not to be left alone in this "place" of suffering. He begs not to be left behind, as he yearns to see the smile of the one he is trying to help.

You, there on the bridge

Where have you been, whats your name?

And you, there you on the wall

Where will you go to once you fall?

You, lost at sea

Do you need me, do you need directions?

Hey, put down the gun

What are you thinking?

You were someone's son

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

The sounds of crying

A long, long time ago I fell to this place

From another dimesnion

And thrust amongst the beasts

And they way they behave borders on dementia

Now through all these years

I can barely take it

I don't think I can make it

Take me away from here

I want to go home

I'm so sick and tired of the

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

The sounds of crying

As you standing at the edge of your life

What do you remember?

Was it all you wanted?

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

I wish I could protect you here

Oh, please don't cry

Now smile as you're standing

At the edge of your life

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

To take me away from here

It's me you leave behind

If only I could have been there

I'd be a hand for the sinking

If only I could have been there

I'd be a prayer for the dying

See the pain etched in my face

I'm so sick and tired of

The taste of tears

The sting of pain

The smell of fear

The sounds of crying

As you're standing at the edge of your life

What do you remember?

Was it all you wanted?

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

I wish I could protect you here

Oh, please don't cry

Now smile as you're standing

At the edge of your life

Your troubles are over

Mine are just beginning

I'm trying to earn a set of feathery wings

To take me away from here

It's me you leave

You're gone from here

Don't leave from here

Don't leave me here

I hate it here

You're gone from here

Don't leave me here

I need to see you smile!
