Stolen Bird
Journey of Love and Loss: Stolen Bird by Hot Left Pole
Lyrics
Just like snow
Comparison of something fleeting or transient, like snow, to the situation or feeling described.
On a shooting star
Metaphorical reference to a rare occurrence or an unreachable goal.
If you go
Suggests a warning or consequence if a particular action is taken.
You won't get far
Implication that pursuing that action won’t lead to success or a positive outcome.
I had your back
Expression of loyalty and support from the beginning of a relationship or situation.
From the very start
Continued commitment and assistance despite circumstances.
Now I walk your path
Transition to following the same path as the subject of the song but feeling hurt or betrayed.
With a broken heart
Conveyance of emotional pain and vulnerability resulting from the situation.
I've got your hand
Mutual support and connection emphasized.
And you've got mine
Sense of missed opportunities or a relationship nearing its end.
We're just out of time
Feeling that time is running out, possibly indicating regret.
A borrowed tune
Reference to borrowing or taking inspiration from something.
A stolen bird
Metaphorical imagery of a stolen or lost feeling, possibly freedom or happiness.
The man in the moon
Symbolic mention of a silent observer, possibly signifying the lack of communication or understanding.
Never says a word
Continued emphasis on silence or lack of expression in the situation.
A midnight stroll
Contrast between nighttime and a casual, morning activity, hinting at conflicting emotions.
A breakfast beer
Unusual or unconventional behavior in response to the situation.
I'm home alone
Sense of loneliness despite physical presence due to emotional absence.
But you're always here
The persistence of the other's influence despite physical separation.
I've got your hand
Reiteration of mutual support and connection.
And you've got mine
Reemphasizing the sense of running out of time or opportunity.
We're just out of time
Sense of a missed chance or a relationship coming to an end.
And just like snow
Repetition of the comparison to snow on a shooting star, indicating the fleeting nature of the situation or feeling.
On a shooting star
Reiteration of a rare occurrence or an unreachable goal.
If I go
Warning or implication of consequences if the speaker departs or takes action.
I won't go far
Belief that leaving won’t lead to significant change or progress.
You had my back
Recognition of past support and loyalty from the other person.
From the very start
Commitment to following the same path but feeling hurt or wounded.
I will walk your path
Willingness to continue despite emotional pain.
With a broken heart
Expressing emotional vulnerability due to the situation.
I've got your hand
Reiteration of mutual support and connection.
And you've got mine
Highlighting the sense of running out of time or opportunity.
We're just out of time
Reiteration of the feeling of time slipping away.
