Lyrics
Is this what I’ve become
Reflecting on personal transformation and questioning one's current state of being.
Oh
An exclamation expressing realization or emotion.
A tamed animal
Feeling subdued or controlled, akin to a domesticated animal.
A clipped-winged bird
Suggesting a sense of limitation and restriction, like a bird with clipped wings.
Oh
An expression of pain or emotional distress.
Did it even hurt
Questioning the intensity of the past experience and whether it had a lasting impact.
And even if I hit the ground
Contemplating a potential fall or failure.
Time to leave these walls behind
Deciding to move beyond current limitations and challenges.
I’ll be waiting for the signal tonight
Awaiting a signal, possibly for change or a new opportunity.
And I’ll spread my stunted wings
Expressing a desire to overcome obstacles and limitations.
Feel the space I’m meant to fill
Seeking to occupy the space that feels authentic and fulfilling.
Extend my broken limbs and
Describing the process of extending oneself despite previous difficulties.
Jump into the light
Choosing to embrace a brighter and more positive existence.
Always known I needed more
A constant awareness of needing more than superficial or mundane experiences.
Than paintings of the horizon
Valuing depth and substance over superficial beauty or distractions.
Hanging on the door
Rejecting mere decorations and seeking meaningful connections or purpose.
I’ll follow the way to the sun
Pursuing a path toward enlightenment or self-discovery symbolized by the sun.
Draw my shadow on the sand
Leaving a mark on the world, creating a lasting impact.
And fill my lungs again
Rejuvenating and revitalizing oneself.
Do I stand on the edge
Contemplating a risky situation or decision.
Oh
Acknowledging the potential for missing out on enjoyable experiences.
And miss all the fun
Comparing oneself to a timid bird in a situation that should be liberating.
A scared little bird
Feeling apprehensive despite the apparent freedom.
In an open cage
Highlighting the paradox of feeling trapped even in an open environment.
And even if I hit the ground
Reiterating the decision to break free from constraints.
Time to leave these walls behind
Emphasizing the importance of leaving behind limiting circumstances.
I’ll be waiting for the signal tonight
A continuation of the anticipation for a positive change or opportunity.
And I’ll spread my stunted wings
Reaffirming the commitment to overcoming personal limitations.
Feel the space I’m meant to fill
Reclaiming personal space and identity.
Extend my broken limbs and
Expressing resilience and determination to move forward despite challenges.
Jump into the light
Choosing to step into a brighter and more positive phase of life.
Always known I needed more
Consistently recognizing the need for a more fulfilling existence.
Than paintings of the horizon
Rejecting the superficial and seeking deeper meaning and purpose.
Hanging on the door
Choosing substance over mere adornments or distractions.
I’ll follow the way to the sun
Persistently following a path towards enlightenment or self-discovery.
Draw my shadow on the sand
Leaving a lasting impression on the world.
And fill my lungs again
Rejuvenating and revitalizing oneself once more.
Is this what I’ve become
Reflecting again on personal transformation and questioning one's current state.
Oh
Reiterating a sense of feeling subdued or controlled.
A tamed animal
Echoing the sentiment of being like a tamed or controlled animal.
Oh
Emphasizing the restriction and limitation, akin to a bird with clipped wings.
A clipped-winged bird
Confirming the sense of being constrained and unable to fully soar.
Yeah
Concluding with an affirmative acknowledgment of the constrained state.
