He Is Not A Bird
Innocence Unraveled: Reflecting on Life's Swift Strides
Lyrics
Girl
Refers to the addressed person, likely female
As your little hands grow
Observing the person's growth, possibly metaphorical
We're stumbling too fast with ease
Expressing difficulty in keeping pace, possibly in a relationship
Release me
Requesting freedom or relief
You're just scheming
Accusing the person of deceitful plotting
Your innocence is lost
Highlighting the loss of innocence in the person
You know
Emphasizing a shared knowledge or realization
You know i'm not the only one
Acknowledging the person's awareness of others
Not the only one
Repetition for emphasis, indicating more than one person
Cut your sympathy
Instructing the person to withhold sympathy
You know i'm not the only one
Reiterating the awareness of others
You know i'm not the only
Continuation of the acknowledgment of not being the only one
No i'm not the not the only one
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing not being the only one
No i'm not the only
Continuation of the emphasis on not being the only one
He can run like me though
Comparing someone else's abilities to run
No but he sure as hell can't fly
Highlighting the inability to fly despite running
He can run like me though
Reiteration of the comparison of running abilities
Cut your sympathy
Repeating the instruction to cut sympathy
Cut yourself beside you
Suggesting self-harm or emotional distancing
All your simple lovers
Referring to the person's past simple lovers
Taking my shit again
Expressing frustration about personal belongings being taken
Again ... again
Repetition of frustration or recurrence of the situation
