LITTLE BIRDS
Reflections on Self-Discovery and Longing in 'Little Birds'
Lyrics
called it a night while the sun set
Decided to end the day as the sun went down
watched the light drain out of the wall
Observed the fading light, possibly symbolizing a loss or decline
little birds in the dark filling the sound
Sense of small, unnoticed entities (little birds) contributing to the surrounding atmosphere
i wanna know what it?s like to be so sure
Desire to understand the feeling of absolute certainty
to feel so right ending it all
Craving the sensation of making a definitive, justified decision, even if it's about ending things
but i don?t let it cross my mind that much anymore
Reflection on avoiding thoughts of extreme actions (like ending one's life) more frequently now
look at me, all “alive” and everything
Feeling outwardly lively despite inner conflicts or struggles
all for spite but all the same
Seeming energetic and present despite harboring animosity, driven by a desire to prove something
letting all the wrong notes ring
Allowing mistakes or negative experiences to resonate
while the right ones fade away
Valuing the disappearance of positive experiences while dwelling on the negative
started a fight when i came downstairs
Provoked a conflict upon entering a lower level or ground floor
out looking for blood
Seeking confrontation or intensity due to frustration with silence or lack of activity
so sick of the quiet, just mad at myself
Feeling fed up with the absence of noise, possibly upset with personal choices or circumstances
because i?m trying to make it about me now
Attempting to redirect attention to oneself, a recurring pattern of behavior
like i?ve always done
Expressing a desire to create something different or unrelated to personal emotions
i wish i could write anything else
Longing to escape from the recurring theme of self-centric emotions
than just me, all in love again and again
Continually falling in love, repeating a pattern, acknowledging a lack of change
i guess some things just don?t change
Recognizing certain behaviors or emotions as unchanging over time
i wish you two could meet
Wishing for two individuals to meet, potentially nostalgic or longing for connection
i wish an awful lot these days
Expressing a strong sense of longing or desire for various things recently
someone painted your name
Someone symbolically marking a specific location with another's name
on the brick of h & j
A reference to a place where a name has been marked, significant enough for repeated visits
i still go out of my way
Making intentional efforts to revisit the place where the name is marked
just to see it
Continuing to go out of the way to see the marked name, suggesting significance or attachment
