Little Birdy
Flight of Resilience: Embracing Life's Turbulence with Little Birdy
Lyrics
Little birdy, you're hitting thirty
Reflecting on the passage of time, addressing a little bird reaching the age of thirty.
Forty, fifty, on a twenty-five
Acknowledging the challenges of aging, emphasizing a sense of acceleration despite a slower pace (twenty-five).
Hear it hum and count the sum
Listening to the humming sound, contemplating and tallying up the accumulated emotional pain during late-night drives.
Of the tears in your heart on your late night drive
Noticing the drifting petals and shifting sand, possibly symbolizing change, while expressing emotional turmoil.
Well, the petals are drifting, the sand is shifting
Describing a person not contributing their fair share and feeling burdened.
And you are not lifting your weight
Indicating a struggle to lift the emotional weight and responsibilities.
You're thinking that you might have to stay here tonight
Considering the possibility of staying in a difficult situation overnight.
But baby, just fly away
Suggesting a plea to break free from the current circumstance, encouraging the bird to fly away.
Just spread your wings and fly
Reiterating the encouragement to spread wings and fly, emphasizing liberation and escape.
Just spread your wings and fly
-Little rose, your strength, it shows
Addressing another character, a little rose, acknowledging their strength amid growing darkness.
But the darkness grows, oh, oh
Noting the increasing challenges and difficulties represented by the growing darkness.
And you're feeling torn, but you bear your thorns
Acknowledging internal conflict and pain, but also recognizing resilience in bearing thorns.
And the dark gets scorned, scorned down
Expressing defiance against the negative forces in the dark, turning them away.
Your tone is mellow and your bones are hallow
Describing a calm demeanor and empty, hallow bones despite being above the clouds.
But you are not below the clouds
Highlighting the distance from difficulties but acknowledging they are not beneath them.
Don't deal with the storm, no, don't do it alone
Advising against facing storms alone, encouraging vocal expression and seeking help.
Baby, just please sing it loud
Urging the person to sing out loud, possibly as a therapeutic or cathartic release.
Just spread your wings and fly
Repeating the call to spread wings and fly, emphasizing the importance of freedom and breaking free.
Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
-You've fallen down this one way road a million times before
Describing repeated experiences of hardship, pretending to be someone else, and the frustration of unheard expressions.
You pretend to be someone you're not, love, your lungs are sore
-From screaming the words you adore when you have no voice
-And it goes unheard
-You go unheard
Emphasizing the silence and lack of acknowledgment for the person's struggles and expressions.
Just spread your wings and fly
Repeating the encouragement to spread wings and fly, underlining the persistent call for liberation and escape.
Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings
-Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
-Just spread your wings and fly
