Lyrics
If I was a bird I'd be hiding into corners
If I were a bird, I would seek refuge in corners.
If I was a bird I would gladly come back home
If I were a bird, I would willingly return home.
If I was plane I would know my destination
If I were a plane, I would have a clear sense of my destination.
If I, If I, If I, If I, If I, If I, If I
Repetition emphasizing contemplation and uncertainty.
If I was a tree I'd be rooted, I'd be settled
If I were a tree, I would be firmly grounded and settled.
If I was a tree I'd be comfortable in comfort
If I were a tree, I would find comfort and stability.
I'd be comfortable
Repetition emphasizing the desire for comfort and stability.
Be comfortable
-Be comfortable
-In comfort
-I'd be comfortable
-Be comfortable
-Be comfortable
-In comfort
-And if there's a path
Introducing the concept of a challenging yet hopeful path.
Long but with an ending
The path is long but has a definite conclusion.
Hope there's a bed
Expressing hope for a resting place or a bed along the journey.
Into rest
Alluding to the desire for eternal rest.
Forever
An expression of permanence and longing for eternal peace.
And if I'm in my prime
If I'm in my prime, I envision myself proudly adorned.
I'm sure a hell dressed in pride
Confident self-perception in a state of excellence.
Brave and bold,
Describing oneself as brave, bold, and possessing a youthful soul.
A childish old soul
Highlighting a juxtaposition of childlike qualities in an adult.
Oh look at me
A self-aware acknowledgment, possibly with a tinge of self-reflection.
Is there a homebound gaze
Pondering whether others perceive a sense of longing or return in one's gaze.
Or do you see me as I am
Questioning if others see the true self or a lost version.
Lost and all but I got both my hands
Despite feeling lost, acknowledging the possession of both hands, symbolizing capability.
To make me better then I am
A commitment to self-improvement and a desire to be better than the current state.
Make me better, make me better
Repeated plea for personal improvement and growth.
Make me better than I am
An earnest desire to transcend current limitations and become a better version of oneself.
