Broken Wings and Forbidden Things: Canary's Melody Unveiled
Lyrics
I was like a bird in the light with a broken wing
Feeling restricted or unable to fully experience something due to a limitation or injury.
And I met a broken man, said he would carry me
Encountering someone who offers support or assistance.
And we went into the dark I was like a prize
Feeling valued or coveted in a situation.
And we were goin' deep in the mine.
Entering into a deep or intense experience.
I might be yellow but I ain't the sun
Describing oneself as cautious or reserved, not wanting to take on a prominent or intense role.
and if that's what you want, set me free,
Expressing a desire not to be constrained by someone else's expectations or desires.
Set me free.
Reiterating the plea to be released or liberated.
I remember the steel chamber,
Recollection of a specific place or situation, possibly indicating confinement or constraint.
He said, this is marriage little bird.
Labeling a situation as a commitment or a significant, binding connection.
I would tip toe in his shadows
Operating in someone's influence or dominance.
With a broken wing that never could heal, yeah
Being in a state of perpetual vulnerability or unhealed pain.
Repeat Chorus
Repetition of the desire for freedom, emphasizing its importance.
Yeah
Indication of agreement or affirmation.
Oh, set me free
Reiterating the plea for liberation.
Set me free, yeah
Emphasizing the plea for freedom.
Oh, set me free
Repetition for emphasis, expressing the intense desire to be free.
Bridge
Transition to a different section of the song (bridge).
It was emptiness to feel a flesh
Describing an emotional void despite physical presence.
so numb to a heart
Being desensitized or indifferent to emotional connections.
Mmmh
Ending the song abruptly or leaving the conclusion open-ended.
