Lyrics
I once fell in love
I experienced love at some point in the past
without a parachute
I entered into this love situation without a safety net
I jumped and crushed
I took a risk and suffered the consequences
into the blue
I collided or encountered difficulties in a vast, open space
I'm bound to you
I am connected or tied to someone
caught like a bird in the cage
Feeling confined, like a bird trapped in a cage
locked up and tied
Restricted and restrained, needing freedom
I need to have space
Expressing the desire for personal space
give me the keys
Requesting liberation or release
'cause I need to be free
Yearning for freedom, asking for control or the means to achieve it
oh can't you see
Expressing a plea for understanding
I'm down on my knees
Being in a vulnerable position, symbolized by being on one's knees
I'm begging you please
Pleading for mercy or help
set me free
Repetition of the plea for freedom
set me free
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire for liberation
set me free
Reiterating the request for freedom
and oh set me free
Continued plea for release
(bird in a cage
Describing the feeling of being a bird in a cage
bird in a cage
Repetition of the metaphorical bird in a cage
bird in a cage just wants to fly
Elaborating on the desire to fly, but facing obstacles
but the door is locked and theres no reason why)
Highlighting the locked door with no apparent reason for confinement
set me free
Repetition of the plea for freedom
oh set me free
Emphasizing the plea for release
set me free
Reiterating the request for freedom
oh set me free
Continued plea for release
I once fell in love
Recalling a previous experience of falling in love
without a parachute
Repetition of entering into love without a safety net
I jumped and crushed
Repetition of taking a risk and facing consequences
into the blue
Repeating the idea of encountering difficulties in an expansive space
