The King of all Birds
Identity's Melody: Searching in Love's Echoes
Lyrics
Look out, look out
Expressing a warning or alert to pay attention.
Here I come now, fists out
Announcing arrival with determination and readiness for a confrontation.
I'm a fighter bird
Identifying oneself as a resilient and determined individual.
I'm a Harrier hawk, a wild flock
Comparing oneself to a Harrier hawk, emphasizing wild and untamed nature.
I keep time by the city clock
Using the city clock as a reference, indicating a reliance on urban rhythms.
When the moon is steady, I'll find you
Promising to find someone during a stable moon phase.
I'm not lucky and I'm not scared
Denying reliance on luck or fear, suggesting self-reliance.
There could be goldmine anywhere
Expressing the potential for unexpected opportunities anywhere.
Anyone that I might want in this world
Expressing desire for specific individuals in the world.
They're asleep in the arms of another girl
Noting that desired individuals are currently in relationships with others.
Who will they be when the lights come up?
Pondering the identity of these individuals when faced with reality.
Everyone that I ever loved in my life
Reflecting on past love and connections.
Now calls somebody else their wife
Observing that past loved ones are now committed to others.
Who am I to you?
Raising a question about personal significance to someone else.
Get up, get up
Encouraging someone to get up and overcome challenges.
Get it together and climb on up
Urging to gather oneself and rise to the top.
To the top of the tree
Metaphorically aspiring to reach the pinnacle of success.
I'm an owl now, a lonely owl
Adopting the persona of an owl, emphasizing solitude.
Who, who, where, what, why, when?
Posing existential questions about existence and purpose.
How the hell did I get this far without you?
Expressing astonishment at reaching a point without certain individuals.
Pull my feathers one by one
Suggesting vulnerability by offering one's feathers to be pulled.
Put 'em in your pocket when I'm gone
Asking to keep a memento when gone, implying departure.
Anyone that I might want in this world
Reiterating desire for specific individuals in the world.
They're asleep in the arms of another girl
Noting that desired individuals are still in relationships with others.
Who will they be when the lights come up?
Pondering the identity of these individuals when faced with reality again.
Everyone that I've ever loved in my life
Reflecting on past love and connections once more.
Now calls somebody else their wife
Observing that past loved ones are committed to others persistently.
Who am I to you?
Repeating the question about personal significance to someone else.
Who am I to you? Am I just anyone?
Raising questions about personal importance and uniqueness.
Who am I to you? Am I just anyone?
Repeating the uncertainty about personal significance.
Am I the only one?
Pondering if there is a singular connection with someone.
Come on, come on
Encouraging someone to come together and provide support.
Put me back together, let me soldier on
Asking to be reconstructed, expressing a need for emotional healing.
I'm the king of it all
Asserting oneself as the king or ruler of everything.
I'm a little wren, I'm happiest when
Adopting the persona of a wren, finding happiness in simple joys.
I hitch a ride on the wing of a friend
Enjoying companionship and support from friends.
Looking down on everything then
Gaining perspective from a higher vantage point.
When the road gets weary, love
Advising to remember a specific person during challenging times.
Remember who I'm dreaming of
Concluding with a reminder of the person in the dream.
