Nightbird
Nightbird's Flight: A Melancholic Journey Through Memories
Lyrics
Some old hotel room in Memphis
Reflecting on a past time in an old hotel room in Memphis.
I see the city through the rain
Observing the cityscape through the rain.
I'm just chasing me in my time
Engaging in self-reflection and introspection.
And remembering some pain
Recalling and experiencing some emotional pain.
You see there once was a boy
Describing a boy in a dire situation on the streets.
And on the street he'd surely die
Implying the boy faced a life-threatening situation.
So the night bird took him in
The "night bird" took the boy under her wing, providing refuge.
And she taught him how to fly
Teaching the boy essential skills, helping him overcome challenges.
See the night bird softly fly
Questioning why the night bird flies alone.
Why does she fly alone
Expressing curiosity about the night bird's solitary flight.
Is the moonlight just a flame
Contemplating whether moonlight serves as a reminder for her.
For her memory now she's gone
Reflecting on the night bird's absence and the memories left behind.
To big bars and honky tonks
Describing venues like bars and honky tonks where pleasures are sought.
Any pleasure can be found
Highlighting the availability of pleasures in such places.
You can get just what you want
Emphasizing the direct correlation between money and desires.
If you lay your money down
Suggesting that desires can be fulfilled with financial investment.
And lonely sailors do their drinking
Depicting lonely sailors facing perilous situations.
My my my how the brave men do die
Commenting on the bravery and sacrifices of men.
And the night bird sells her pleasures
Describing the night bird's trade, evoking sadness.
Bringing tears to my eyes
Eliciting emotional reactions, tears, due to the night bird's activities.
See the night bird softly fly
Reiterating the question of why the night bird flies alone.
Why does she fly alone
Expressing a sense of wonder or concern about her solitary flight.
Is the moonlight just a flame
Raising the question of whether the moonlight triggers memories of her.
For her memory now she's gone
Repeating the theme of the night bird's absence and the lingering memories.
So I guess I'll go out walking
Deciding to go for a walk despite the rain.
Lord let the rain keep falling down
Seeking solace in the falling rain.
I guess I'll go and chase some memories
Intending to revisit and reminisce about past memories.
In the dark side of town
Choosing to explore the darker aspects of town during this journey.
See the night bird softly fly
Pondering again why the night bird flies solo.
Why does she fly alone
Reiterating the curiosity about the night bird's solitary flight.
Is the moonlight just a flame
Persisting in questioning if the moonlight triggers memories of her.
For her memory now she's gone
Restating the theme of the night bird's absence and the lingering memories.
For her memory now she's gone
Concluding with the acknowledgment of the night bird's departure and the lasting memory.
For her memory now she's gone
Affirming the finality of the night bird's departure and the enduring memory.
