Whippoorwill
Flight of Self-Discovery: Whippoorwill's Nightly Song
Lyrics
I find myself
I am reflecting on myself
Tossing stones at the whippoorwill
I am engaging in a futile or symbolic activity, possibly expressing frustration or discontent
While he sings on the windowsill
Observing a whippoorwill singing outside the window, suggesting a connection to nature
After dusk
After the evening
I read all the books
I have consumed knowledge from various sources
Studied all the arithmetic
Studied basic arithmetic, possibly referring to formal education
Bought into its politics
Accepted and adopted certain political beliefs
In a rush
In a hurry or without careful consideration
But I'm flying
Experiencing a sense of freedom or elation
Riding
Traveling swiftly
The lightning in the wind
Metaphorically riding the wind, embracing a powerful force
And just around the bend
Anticipating a positive future, just around the corner
A radiant morning sky
Describing a beautiful morning sky
But the bird just sings at night
The whippoorwill, a nocturnal bird, contrasts with the morning sky
I'm building a wall
Engaging in self-isolation or protection
Getting lost in the Albertson's
Feeling disoriented in a familiar place (Albertson's)
Throwing back Ibuprofen
Using pain relief (Ibuprofen) for emotional pain
For the bullet in my heart
Metaphorically dealing with emotional wounds
I'm calling it off
Ending or canceling something
Bring my body from the night
Transitioning from darkness to light, possibly a metaphor for change or renewal
Have the birds keep singing right
Seeking continuity in positivity, asking the birds to keep singing
Into the morning sun
Moving towards a positive future represented by the morning sun
Cause I'm flying
Experiencing a sense of freedom or elation (repeated theme)
I'm riding
Traveling swiftly (repeated theme)
The lightning in the wind
Metaphorically riding the wind, embracing a powerful force (repeated theme)
And just around the bend
Anticipating a positive future, just around the corner (repeated theme)
A radiant morning sky
Describing a beautiful morning sky (repeated theme)
But the bird still sings at night
The whippoorwill, a nocturnal bird, contrasts with the morning sky (repeated theme)
How I've settled in the mourning
Reflecting on settling into sorrow or sadness
How I've only sung at night
Expressing a pattern of singing only during the night
It's always darkest before morning
Highlighting the darkest moment before a positive change
Maybe I've grown to hate the light
Possibly expressing a dislike or aversion to light or positivity
Cause I'm flying
Experiencing a sense of freedom or elation (repeated theme)
I'm riding
Traveling swiftly (repeated theme)
The lightning in the wind
Metaphorically riding the wind, embracing a powerful force (repeated theme)
And just around the bend
Anticipating a positive future, just around the corner (repeated theme)
A radiant morning sky
Describing a beautiful morning sky (repeated theme)
So I'll sing into the light
Expressing a willingness to embrace positivity and sing into the light
