Magpie's Reflection: A Soul's Journey through Struggles and Faith
Lyrics
Magpie, magpie, I stand here watching the world go by
Observing the world pass by while addressing a magpie, symbolizing curiosity and reflection on life.
I wonder do you ever question why?
Wondering if the magpie, a bird associated with intelligence, ever questions the world like the singer does.
I’m still here wondering what you knowing
Expressing a sense of ongoing curiosity and uncertainty about what the magpie might know.
I’ve seen more everyday than I could dream
Claiming to have experienced more in daily life than one could imagine in dreams.
I don’t mind no what I tell you
Indicating a lack of concern about what is shared with others.
I don’t mind no what I say
Reiterating a lack of concern about personal expression and communication.
I don’t mind no what we’re saying
Emphasizing a shared indifference to the content of the conversation.
But it’s a hard hard fight
Acknowledging the difficulty of the struggles faced in life.
A hard, hard fight
Repeating the challenging nature of the ongoing fight.
And I’m turning this one in,
Deciding to surrender or give up on something.
I’m turning this one in
Repeating the decision to give up on a particular situation.
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sign
Committing to not turning back and recognizing a sign or signal.
I won’t turn back not for anyone
Declaring a refusal to turn back for anyone.
I’ve seen the sign, and I know what is mine
Acknowledging the recognition of a significant sign and claiming ownership of what is rightfully one's own.
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Expressing skepticism or disbelief, emphasizing the appearance of deception or falsehood.
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
-You didn’t take I don’t think you mean quite what you say
Questioning the sincerity or accuracy of someone's statements.
I’m hoping you’re the friend you claim to be
Hoping for authenticity in a claimed friendship.
Oh crow, crow, will you tell me ṗlease,
Asking a crow for information, suggesting a desire for wisdom or insight.
Tell me please what you know
-You’ve seen more of the book than I could dream
Comparing personal knowledge to that of the crow.
I do not know what to tell you
Expressing uncertainty and lack of clarity in communication.
I do not know what to say
-I do not know what we’re saying friend
-But it’s a hard hard fight
Reiterating the challenging nature of the ongoing fight.
A hard, hard fight
Repeating the difficulty of the ongoing struggle.
And I’m turning this one in,
Deciding to surrender or give up on something.
I’m turning this one in
Repeating the decision to give up on a particular situation.
I won’t turn back, I’ve seen the sign
Committing to not turning back and recognizing a sign or signal.
I won’t turn back not for anyone
Declaring a refusal to turn back for anyone.
I’ve seen the sign, and I know I have faith
Affirming faith and confidence in the recognized sign.
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
Reiterating skepticism or disbelief, emphasizing the deceptive nature of lies.
Eh what a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie looks like
-Eh, eh yeah
Silence when I won’t be here anymore
Anticipating silence in the absence, suggesting the end of communication or presence.
Silence when I won’t be here anymore
-Silence when I won’t be here anymore
-Silence when I won’t be here anymore
-What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
Repeating the theme of lies and falsehoods.
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
-What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
-What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
-What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
