So After listening to the music and reading the lyrics of the popular song Defying Gravity from an Amazing Musical known as Wicked I felt like "explaining" it in my way.
The Wicked Point of Veiw
When the song is sung in the Musical by Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. It is describing her feelings of being trapped and held back. She knows she could make a difference but, the Wizard and his assistant Madame Morrible have other plans to use her for. When Elphaba finds out that the Wizard and Morrible only want her to use her witchcraft to create "spies" for them and to get rid of the Animals in Oz, she snaps.Going with Galinda, now known as Glinda (Due to her recent name change when the Animal Dr. Dillamond is removed from Shiz Campus) to the highest tower in the Wizards Castle, Elphaba tries to tell Glinda that together they could fight the Wizard and restore Peace with the Animals, and stop them from becoming animals.In The end Glinda gives Elphaba a broom, which she uses a levitation enchantment on and leaves the Emerald city as a fugitive. An Enemy of Oz.
My Point of Veiw
To me this song is one that says nothings gonna bring you down. Nothing can stop you and hold you back. I'm through Excepting Limits Cause someone says there so. To me people in the everyday world are telling you you have to do this you have to do that, but sometimes you don't. Sometimes you also just have to take a leap and say things you never expect to say to anyone. No matter how things end up there will always be a bright side. Sooner or Later.
