Little Birds
Embracing Grace: A Song of Liberation and Solitude
Lyrics
Hey, I never stay for the after party
Expressing a tendency to leave social events before the after party.
I shake their hands and go.
Quickly greeting people and departing from social gatherings.
See it used to be I needed drink and company
Reflecting on a past reliance on alcohol and companionship.
Cuz that was all I'd known
Describing a previous limited understanding shaped by past experiences.
Give me the little birds, the little birds in the yard
Desiring simplicity and freedom, metaphorically represented by little birds in the yard.
Oh they want for nothing but space
Little birds symbolize those who need minimal and value personal space.
Give me the silence when the snow freezes hard
Seeking tranquility during challenging times, like the silence during frozen snowfall.
and thank me for coming
Expressing gratitude for the experience and recognizing personal growth.
cuz i’m tired of running
Expressing weariness of a nomadic lifestyle and a desire for stability.
and I want for nothing but grace
Yearning for grace, suggesting a wish for elegance and poise in life.
Hey i used to say it was love or it was hate
Recalling a past tendency to categorize emotions as either love or hate.
I saw in black and white
Seeing the world in absolutes, in black and white terms.
And oh I thought I'd know who was friend and who was foe
Expecting to easily discern between friends and foes, right and wrong.
and what was wrong and right
Reflecting on a previous certainty about moral distinctions.
Give me the little birds, the little birds in the yard
Reiterating the desire for simplicity and freedom, represented by little birds.
Oh they want for nothing but space
Emphasizing that those who seek minimalism desire personal space.
Give me the silence when the snow freezes hard
Preferring silence and calmness during challenging times, symbolized by frozen snow.
and thank me for coming
Expressing gratitude for the experience and personal growth.
cuz i’m tired of running
Expressing weariness of a nomadic lifestyle and a desire for stability.
and I want for nothing but grace
Yearning for grace, suggesting a wish for elegance and poise in life.
Seems like being small don’t bother me at all
Feeling unaffected by challenges or difficulties associated with being small.
And I abide the rain
Accepting and enduring hardships, represented by abiding the rain.
Always used to find some trouble in my mind
Formerly finding trouble in thoughts, now having a changed mindset.
but now I'm not that way
No longer possessing a mindset that seeks trouble or negativity.
Give me the little birds, the little birds in the yard
Reiterating the desire for simplicity and freedom, represented by little birds.
Oh they want for nothing but space
Emphasizing that those who seek minimalism desire personal space.
Give me the silence when the snow freezes hard
Preferring silence and calmness during challenging times, symbolized by frozen snow.
and thank me for coming
Expressing gratitude for the experience and personal growth.
cuz i’m tired of running
Expressing weariness of a nomadic lifestyle and a desire for stability.
and I want for nothing but grace
Yearning for grace, suggesting a wish for elegance and poise in life.
