Green Birds
Emotional Turmoil in Green Birds: Reflections on Pain, Hope, and Resilience
Lyrics
I'm falling, I'm failing
I'm experiencing a downward spiral, facing failure.
I'm ballin', I'm faded
I'm living a lavish lifestyle, but I'm also losing touch with reality due to intoxication.
In a blue light, I'm Lain-ing
In a serene blue light, I am immersed in the world of Lain, possibly referencing a sense of detachment or escapism.
In a pale fire, I'm bathing
Surrounded by a faint fire, I am absorbing its warmth or possibly undergoing a transformative experience.
Stay quiet, I'm quiet
Advising to remain silent, possibly indicating a need for introspection or secrecy.
Underneath in the basement I'ma hide
Seeking refuge in the basement, indicating a desire to hide or escape from external pressures.
All the green birds, they passing by
Observing green birds passing by, a metaphor for fleeting opportunities or moments in life.
Cover your ears, open up your eyes
Suggesting to block out negative influences and be more observant of one's surroundings.
I'm fine, I'm fine
Asserting a sense of well-being or composure.
I been awake a few weeks tonight
Expressing a prolonged state of wakefulness, possibly indicating a restless or intense period.
A world on fire, I'ma be in the light
Amidst chaos, aspiring to be a source of light or positivity.
Mama said, baby we gon' be alright
Reassurance from a maternal figure that everything will be alright.
مافي ولا غيم في السما

I'm fine, I'm fine

-A cedar burnt down and you dance on the ash
Metaphor of a cedar burning and dancing on the ashes, symbolizing destruction and revelry in its aftermath.
It all falls apart, look at what you have
Reflecting on the disintegration of what was once held, prompting introspection.
You live in my memory, my dear
Addressing someone living on in memory.
They sold you for a price
Highlighting the commodification of a person, sold for a price.
It's all the same again
Stating the repetitiveness of the situation.
Another day, another lie
Expressing the monotony of deceit in daily life.
I'm falling, I'm failing
