Hummingbird
Flight of the Unheard: A Hummingbird's Melody
Lyrics
Oh baby I'm a light left on
Expressing readiness and openness, like a light left on for someone.
Still waiting for the moment
Awaiting a significant moment with anticipation.
Burn steady and the fuse is gone
Continuing to burn steadily, but the opportunity or energy is running out.
Hang heavy, and I've blown it
Feeling regret for a mistake or missed chance.
Oh baby I'm a flightless bird
Comparing oneself to a flightless bird, unable to soar freely.
Crying out to the treetops
Desiring attention or understanding, like a bird crying out to the treetops.
Wing's heavy and my voice unheard
Feeling burdened, and the voice goes unnoticed or unheeded.
Keep saying I'm enough, oh
Asserting one's worth and seeking acknowledgment.
Watch your step
Providing a series of advice or instructions, encouraging resilience and self-awareness.
Find your love
-Use your legs
-Keep it up
-Brace your heart
-Know yourself
-Face the dark
-Ask for help
-Like a hummingbird I will hover
Metaphorically describing the singer's existence as a hummingbird, hovering but unable to attain desired goals.
But never taste the fruit
-Like the memory of a lover
-That flickers into view
-And all the things you wanted, that kept on calling you
-And you try, but cannot choose
-Oh baby I'm an unmade bed
Portraying emotional vulnerability, akin to an unmade bed still warm from someone's presence.
Uncovered in a half light
-Still warm from your sleep in here
-So empty that I could cry
-And oh baby this is what you say
Quoting words of determination and resilience, despite potential challenges.
I'm never gonna not run
-You never would've killed us dead
-You were right on the shotgun
-Watch your step
Reiteration of advice to persevere and keep going.
Find your love
-Use your legs
-Keep it up
-Like a hummingbird I will hover
Revisiting the hummingbird metaphor, emphasizing the struggle of wanting things but being unable to choose or attain them.
But never taste the fruit
-Like the memory of a lover
-That flickers into view
-And all the things you wanted, that kept on calling you
-And you try, but cannot choose
-No don't, don't let me let you down
Pleading not to be a source of disappointment and seeking support to avoid letting someone down.
Don't, don't let me let you down
-Don't, don't let me let you down, no don't
-No don't, don't let me let you down
-Don't, don't let me let you down
-Don't, don't let me let you down, no don't
-Oh I still want you baby
Expressing continued desire for a person and requesting assistance to stay strong in difficult times.
So help me stay from words
-Oh I still want you baby
-So help me stay for worse
-Like a hummingbird I will hover
Repeating the hummingbird imagery, underscoring the inability to taste the desired fruit and the difficulty of making choices.
But never taste the fruit
-Like the memory of a lover
-That flickers into view
-And all the things you want to, that kept on calling you
-And you try, but cannot choose
-Like a hummingbird I will hover
Continuation of the hummingbird metaphor, exploring the memory of a lover and the challenges of decision-making.
But never taste the fruit

Further elaboration on the hummingbird theme, reflecting on unattained desires and the struggle to make choices.
But never taste the fruit

Highlighting the difficulty of making choices despite efforts.
