If you were going to give someone a pair of wings so that they could learn to fly, would you give them a broken pair?
"You want to learn to fly? Here, take these broken wings. Good luck."
"Gee, thanks."

You mean the line in Blackbird by The Beatles? It's a nice sounding line, but under scrutiny it doesn't hold up. You're right.

I think it's saying that freedom is a mental state which can be learned and helps you to get up again, even if you feel like a metaphorical angel with broken wings

It's a response to America's song, "Sister Golden Hair":
"Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?"
Songs with pointless lyrics aren't always bad. Listen to Elton John's "Take Me To The Pilot". Bernie Taupin (who *wrote* the lyrics) said once, "If anybody knows what that song is about, please tell me."

Of course it's metaphoric for even when your body is broken, your spirit can still soar!
