Song Meaning of “Tinkerbell” by Gain
Gain’s song ‘Tinkerbell’ tells a story of unrequited love in search of a magical escape. The narrator yearns for a life beyond what they know and desires to be far away from reality. As they try to express their feelings, the emotions are too deep to put into words. Instead, they offer up a humble plea for the appearance of Tinkerbell—the beloved fictional fairy from Peter Pan—to take them away.
The narrator knows that true love isn’t enough grant their wishes, and so they remain lost in longing. Yet there is still an element of hope that one day they will find a way out of the pain and despair and they will never look back. The chorus of the song reflects this sentiment:
“Tinkerbell, come find me
Take me away from here
I don’t wanna stay anymore
Take me away, far away from here”
The longing desire to be taken away to a different world is representative of the seemingly hopelessness of getting one’s feelings reciprocated. Furthermore, the plea for Tinkerbell to take them away symbolizes the power of the imagination to give us the escape we desire—if only for a little while.
