What happens when heartbreak feels like gravity and freedom feels out of reach? “Nba” paints that bittersweet picture. The singer asks sorrow to stay out of the way while pushing a past love to “fly off” into a distant cosmos. He is stuck on the ground, watching someone else soar, because “these wings aren’t mine.” The track captures that mix of wanting space, craving escape, and realizing you are not equipped to take off—at least not yet.
The repeated image of borrowed wings highlights a painful truth: sometimes love gives us the illusion of flight, but when it ends we see how earth-bound we really are. By telling the other person to drift toward “strange shores,” our narrator admits it hurts too much to stay side by side. “Nba” is ultimately a melodic goodbye—both a gentle nudge toward new horizons and an honest confession that the singer must first learn to craft wings of his own.
