The Funny Bird
Embracing Impermanence: A Tribute to the Transience of Life
Lyrics
Well goodbye southern spy
Goodbye to a spy from the southern region
I've come t' love you in th' lite
Expressing love in the light
Always starin' in th' Void
Constantly gazing into emptiness or nothingness
Have yr etes all been destroyed
Questioning if your eyes have suffered damage or impairment
All these diggin' little hands
Referring to various small hands that are digging
Of all the stones that never had
Mentioning stones that were never owned or possessed
Yr the only one I know...
Addressing someone as the only known person
An' farewell gold'n ring
Saying goodbye to a golden ring
Oh you hollow little thing
Describing someone as hollow or empty
Like a wave along th' coast
Comparing to a wave along the coastline
I've come t'love th' hi's and lows
Developing affection for the highs and lows of the experience
When in th' end yr just a band
Acknowledging that, in the end, one is just part of a band or group
A funny bird that never lands
Characterizing as a funny bird that never finds a place to land
An' yr th' only one I know
Reiterating that the addressed person is the only one known
Farewell gold'n sound
Bidding farewell to a golden sound
No one wants to hear you now
Stating that no one is interested in hearing the sound now
An' of all th' happy ends
Reflecting on all the supposedly happy endings
I wouldn't wish this on a friend
Expressing reluctance to wish the mentioned situation on a friend
But yr th' only one I know
Reaffirming that the addressed person is the only one known
