Lyrics
Days of summer your end is in sight.
Anticipating the end of summer.
So herald the birds on the wing.
Symbolizing the approach of change, possibly fall.
Look to the heavens and see how they fly.
Encouraging to observe the sky and flying birds.
And hear well the song that they sing.
Listening attentively to the melody of the birds.
Southwards they're flying, their homes left behind.
Describing birds flying south, leaving their nests.
Unchained by the nests that they've made.
Emphasizing freedom by being unchained from nests.
They're following the sun as they always have done.
Emphasizing a journey following the sun, free and fearless.
Not waiting, not wanting, not afraid.
Conveying a sense of independence without waiting or fearing.
Ask now yourself what your goal is in life,
Prompting self-reflection on life goals and constraints.
That's holding you tight as a chain.
Comparing life constraints to a tight chain.
Prisoned by progress, desire and greed.
Highlighting imprisonment by progress, desire, and greed.
Have you traded your freedom for gain.
Questioning if freedom has been sacrificed for material gain.
Trained to be tame from the day you were born.
Describing societal conditioning to conformity from birth.
You can still brake away if you try.
Encouraging resistance against routine and conformity.
So fight against drudgery, you're really a man.
Urging to fight against monotony and embrace one's humanity.
Awaken and look to the sky.
Calling for awakening and looking beyond the mundane.
Days of summer your end is in sight.
Reiterating the anticipation of the end of summer.
So herald the birds on the wing.
Symbolizing change with the heralding of birds.
Look to the heavens and see how they fly.
Encouraging sky observation and bird watching.
And hear well the song that they sing.
Re-emphasizing the importance of listening to bird songs.
Southwards they're flying, their homes left behind.
Repeating the description of birds flying southward.
Unchained by the nests that they've made.
Reiterating the idea of being unchained and free.
They're following the sun as they always have done.
Re-emphasizing the journey following the sun without fear.
Not waiting, not wanting, not afraid.
Reiterating the theme of independence, without waiting or wanting.
