Bye Bye Blackbird
Farewell to Hard Luck: Bye Bye Blackbird's Sweet Escape
Lyrics
No one here can love or understand me
Feeling unloved and misunderstood by those around.
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Receiving a series of unfortunate stories or experiences from others.
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Deciding to leave behind all worries and troubles, flying away.
Bye, bye, blackbird
Expressing goodbye to a symbolic 'blackbird', suggesting leaving behind something negative.
Where somebody waits for me
Having an anticipation of meeting someone.
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Describing someone as sweet, possibly a romantic interest.
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the farewell to the 'blackbird' while acknowledging the presence of someone special.
No one here can love or understand me
Reiterating the feeling of being unloved and misunderstood.
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continuing to receive unfortunate stories or experiences from others.
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Preparing for rest and signaling a late arrival.
Blackbird, bye, bye
Another farewell to the 'blackbird' as a metaphorical representation of leaving behind something negative.
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeated farewell to the symbolic 'blackbird'.
Where somebody waits for me
Reiterating the anticipation of meeting someone.
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Describing the sweetness of someone, likely a romantic interest.
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the goodbye to the 'blackbird' while acknowledging the presence of someone special.
No one here can love or understand me
Emphasizing the feeling of being unloved and misunderstood in the current environment.
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continuing to receive unfortunate stories or experiences from others.
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Preparing for rest and signaling a late arrival, echoing a previous line.
Blackbird, bye, bye
A final farewell to the 'blackbird', repeating the symbolic departure from something negative.
