Birdies Even Sing in Hong Kong
Embracing Change: A Musical Journey of Self-Discovery and Love
Lyrics
Had a dream it would happen this way
Expressing anticipation or a premonition about a particular outcome.
When I opened the letter, I knew what it would say
Upon receiving a letter, the speaker expected its content and was correct in their assumption.
And it did
Confirmation that the anticipated event or information did occur.
Spun on my heals, shut down my brain
Reacting physically and mentally, possibly with surprise or disbelief.
Opened my umbrella and I prayed for rain
Using a metaphorical umbrella, the speaker sought protection or relief, symbolized by rain.
Then I said
Verbal expression, likely in response to the revealed information or situation.
Shall I be a horse, should I ride away
Considering the option of distancing oneself, possibly from the revealed situation.
Shall I be somebody new today
Contemplating a change in identity or persona.
Be a butterfly by the candlelight
Imagining transformation into a delicate and free creature.
Shall I be somebody new tonight
Considering a potential change in identity during the night.
One thing I know. Don't say I'm wrong
Asserting confidence in a personal belief, despite potential criticism.
Birdies even sing in Hong Kong
Emphasizing the universality of joy or beauty, even in unexpected places like Hong Kong.
Curled up small, crawled through a crack
Describing a physical action of retreat or escape through a small opening.
Rode down the elevator, rode right back
Experiencing a repetitive cycle or unproductive journey.
Time for bed.
Indicating a need for rest or withdrawal from the situation.
Found a room that was just like mine
Finding a familiar or comforting space.
Looked out the window, the weather's turned fine
Observing improved conditions, possibly reflecting a change in perspective.
So I said
Expressing a decision or choice in response to the observed improvement.
Shall I be a train puffing down the track
Considering the possibility of a straightforward and determined path.
Shall I be the joker in the pack
Contemplating a role associated with humor or unpredictability.
Shall I be an owl hooting in a tree
Reflecting on the idea of wisdom and observation, perhaps with a nocturnal aspect.
Shall I be a lady bumble bee
Exploring the notion of a gentle and industrious identity.
One thing I know. Don't say I'm wrong
Reiterating confidence in personal beliefs, specifically addressing potential criticism.
Birdies even sing in Hong Kong
Reaffirming the idea that positivity exists universally, even in unexpected places.
Don't be afraid of this state I'm in
Encouraging acceptance and understanding of the speaker's emotional state.
I'm in love with you
Expressing a romantic or emotional connection with someone.
Don't be afraid of this state I'm in
Repeating the message of emotional connection and urging acceptance of the speaker's feelings.
I'm in love with you
Affirming love for the listener and reinforcing the emotional theme of the song.
