Baby Bluebird
Yearning for Freedom: Baby Bluebird's Bittersweet Flight
Lyrics
They said you never felt lower
Expressing a sense that you've never felt more down or unhappy.
Looking at her over your shoulder
Observing someone while looking backward or from a distance.
Slow motion, slipping away
Feeling like time is passing slowly and things are slipping out of grasp.
She's writing songs about leaving something
She's creating music about leaving something behind.
Sad ones about believing in one thing
Creating melancholic songs about believing in one specific thing.
And watch it fade away
Witnessing the gradual disappearance of something meaningful.
But if you'd given me most of you
If you had given a significant part of yourself to me.
I'd have handed over all of me
I would have given my entirety to you.
But it's in the rearview
However, that's in the past now.
My baby, baby bluebird
A term of endearment for the person who's now distant.
They say it's never over
Implying that things continue despite being declared finished.
Chipping away at the boulder
Slowly breaking down a large obstacle.
Spinning of the wheels
Repetition or lack of progress.
And writing songs about coming undone
Creating music about falling apart.
Or falling in love with the idea of someone
Falling in love with an idealized version of someone.
Who isn't really real
Realizing the person isn't as expected.
But still when I saw you
Despite everything, seeing you caused a deep emotional impact.
My heart, it split clean in two
Experiencing intense emotional pain upon seeing the person.
So pretty in the rearview
Beautiful but distant, like an image in a rearview mirror.
My baby, baby bluebird
And if you'd given me most of you
Similar to line 8, expressing reciprocity in a relationship.
I'd have handed over all of me
Willingness to give everything in return for someone's commitment.
But it's in the rearview
But that's now a past experience.
My baby, baby bluebird
Repetition of the endearment, highlighting the emotional connection.
My, my, my baby, baby bluebird
Reiteration of emotional connection with endearment.
My, my, my, my baby, baby bluebird
