Blackbird
Embrace Freedom: Blackbird's Journey
Lyrics
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Describing a blackbird singing during the darkest part of the night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
Metaphorically suggesting to take one's damaged or hurt aspects and learn to soar despite them.
All your life
Referring to the entirety of one's existence.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Implying that all along, one has been waiting for a significant moment like this.
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Reiteration of the blackbird singing in darkness.
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
Encouragement to understand and perceive things deeply despite adversity.
All your life
Referring again to the entirety of one's life.
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Expressing that one has been anticipating a moment of freedom like this.
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Calling upon the blackbird to fly away.
Into the light of the dark black night.
Directing the bird to move into the brightness despite the dark.
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Repeating the urging for the blackbird to fly into the light amidst darkness.
Into the light of the dark black night.
Reiteration of the direction to move towards brightness despite the dark night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Restating the image of the blackbird singing in darkness.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
Re-emphasizing the idea of learning to fly despite being damaged.
All your life
Re-emphasizing the entirety of one's life experiences.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
Reinforcing the anticipation of this significant moment in life.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
Repetition emphasizing the long wait for this particular moment.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Reiteration emphasizing the long-awaited nature of this moment.
