Lyrics
I was like a dying bird
I felt weak and vulnerable, like a dying bird.
Flying backwards
I felt directionless or regressive in my endeavors.
Staring up
I looked upwards, possibly seeking guidance or answers.
Quite absurd
The situation seemed strange or surreal.
I was like a worn-out shoe
I felt worn out and used, like an old shoe.
Tied upon a line
I felt constrained or restricted in my actions, akin to a shoe tied on a line.
On high wire
I was in a precarious or risky situation, comparable to being on a high wire.
Quite a view
I had a unique or remarkable perspective despite the challenges.
Ooh, but I
Expressing a realization or revelation.
Had a moment when the world was all but mine
At a point in time, I felt a sense of dominance or control over the world.
Ooh, and I
Indicates surprise or disbelief about an unexpected alignment.
Never though that in that moment we’d align
An unforeseen connection or harmony in that dominating moment.
You were like a whispered word
You seemed insignificant or forgotten, like a whispered word.
Long forgotten
A sense of being neglected or unnoticed for an extended period.
Long unheard
Despite being forgotten, you were well-rehearsed or familiar.
But well-rehearsed
Emphasizing the depth or extent of rehearsal despite being unheard.
Ooh, but I
Similar to line 10, a realization or revelation.
Had a moment when the world was all but mine
Feeling a sense of dominance or control over the world.
Ooh, and I
Surprise or disbelief regarding an unexpected alignment.
Never though that in that moment we’d align
Unexpected harmony or connection experienced in that dominating moment.
You were like
Reiteration or emphasis on the comparison.
You were like
-A dying bird
A reaffirmation of feeling weak or vulnerable, akin to a dying bird.
