Lyrics
You say you want out
You express a desire to escape or end a situation.
I know what you mean
I understand your intentions or feelings.
I call you 'black bird'
I affectionately refer to you as a 'black bird.'
I call you 'dark queen'
I affectionately refer to you as a 'dark queen.'
The isolation I put you into
The isolation I've imposed on you is for your protection.
Is your protection and safety too
Your isolation serves as a safeguard for you.
In your eyes, in your wings
In your eyes and wings, there is a yearning for freedom.
There is hunger for skies above high
Within you, there is a longing for the vastness of the sky.
And I know, and you know
We both acknowledge that you can never truly fly.
That you could never fly
Emphasizing the impossibility of your flight.
Have you ever seen the daylight?
Have you ever experienced the brightness of daylight?
Black bird fly
A call for you, the black bird, to fly.
Have you ever seen the rainbow?
Have you ever witnessed the beauty of a rainbow?
Black bird fly
A repetition, urging the black bird to fly.
Do you wanna see the moonlight?
Do you desire to see the serenity of moonlight?
Black bird fly
A renewed call for the black bird to take flight.
Do you wanna see the rainbow?
Reiteration of the longing for the rainbow.
Black bird fly
A persistent call for the black bird to fly.
You say I'm crazy
You label me as crazy for my unconventional actions.
I'm doing strange things
I engage in peculiar behaviors that others find strange.
You pine within walls
You feel confined within walls despite having wings.
Although you've got wings
An acknowledgment that wings do not guarantee freedom.
But I know, and you know
We both recognize that the brightness of sunshine is overwhelming for you.
That the sunshine's too bright for your eyes
Your sensitivity to light is a hindrance.
And I know, really know
I genuinely understand that this world can be harsh.
That this world is too cruel
An affirmation of the world's cruelty.
So think twice
A plea to reconsider your decision due to the harsh reality.
One night, one day
At some point, you will cause me emotional pain, and you will fly away.
You'll make me cry, you'll fly away
A repetition, emphasizing the emotional impact of your departure.
One day, one night
Eventually, you will leave, and I will witness your final flight.
You'll leave me watching your last flight
A repeated notion of watching your departure.
Cause you could never fly
Highlighting the inevitability of your inability to fly.
