Lyrics
I may be a bird in a cage
I may be confined like a bird in a cage
But at least I have my wings
Despite the confinement, I still have my freedom represented by my wings
Yours were sawed off with your talons (talents) put in chains
Your potential (talents) has been restricted, symbolized by talons being cut off and put in chains
It's not your fault
It's not your fault, indicating empathy or understanding
But you are locked up just the same
You are also confined or restricted despite innocence
Nobody told you could fly
You were never informed about your ability to break free and soar
They told you nobody need wings
False beliefs were ingrained that wings are unnecessary
And one day my door will open
Hope for eventual freedom and breaking free from confinement
And I will fly free
Anticipation of liberation and the revelation of true potential
These shackles will be broken and you will see
The current restrictions will be overcome, revealing the untapped capabilities
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
Metaphorical journey through time, facing challenges
I will squeeze all the juices
Determination to extract every bit of experience or essence
I won't leave one drop behind
Commitment to fully engage in life without regrets
I am never alone
Feeling accompanied and supported
Because I have you by my side
The presence of a significant other providing companionship
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
Navigating societal norms or rules in the dark
We will always need the sunrise, need
Despite challenges, the need for positivity and new beginnings
I am not like you, I cannot be bend in to that mold
Declaration of individuality, resisting conformity
And I can never be convinced
Firm belief in personal convictions, refusing to be persuaded
It's true that you can only see what you've are told
Critique of limited perspectives shaped by external influences
And in my daydream underneath the endless sky
Escape into imagination under the expansive sky
I cannot sleep, I cannot sleep
Insomnia or restlessness during daydreams
And watch the night pass me by
Awareness of time passing during contemplation
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
Reiteration of the journey through time, facing challenges
I will squeeze all the juices
Intention to make the most of life's experiences
I won't leave one drop behind
Commitment to living fully without regrets
I am never alone
Feeling supported and never truly alone
Because I have you by my side
Significant other providing constant companionship
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
Navigating societal norms or rules despite challenges
We will always need the sunrise, need
Continued need for positivity and new beginnings
That I am drifting, sifting through the sands of time
Reiteration of the journey through time, facing challenges
I will squeeze all the juices
Intention to make the most of life's experiences
I won't leave one drop behind
Commitment to living fully without regrets
I am never alone
Feeling supported and never truly alone
Because I have you by my side
Significant other providing constant companionship
And though we are followed by the rules in the dark
Navigating societal norms or rules despite challenges
We will always need the sunrise, need
Continued need for positivity and new beginnings
