Broken Wing
Eagle's Cry: A Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
Every day
Expressing a recurring experience of separation or longing.
That I can't wake up next to you
Desiring the closeness of waking up beside a loved one.
I'm feeling locked away
Feeling emotionally isolated or imprisoned.
Like a mountain lion in a zoo
Comparing the emotional confinement to a caged mountain lion.
Every day
Reiteration of the emotional struggle on a daily basis.
Driving me crazier
Intensifying emotional distress and frustration.
I'm feeling pushed away
Sense of being pushed away or rejected.
Like an iceberg from a glacier
Metaphorically feeling detached like an iceberg from its glacier.
Hell yeah
Affirmation of being confined or restricted.
I'm locked up in an iron cage
Emphasizing the feeling of imprisonment in a challenging situation.
Hell yeah
Continuing the theme of drifting and isolation.
I'm drifting on a frozen lake
Metaphorically portraying a state of uncertainty or instability.
Every night
Shift to the nighttime, indicating a recurring pattern of distress.
I'm staring at my telephone
Expressing a focus on waiting for communication.
You said you needed time
Recalling a previous request for space or time alone.
You just needed some time alone
Highlighting the true need for solitude rather than separation.
Every night
Repetition of the nightly yearning for connection.
I'm praying for my phone to ring
Expressing a hopeful anticipation of communication.
But in the morning light
Contrasting hope with the morning reality of continued pain.
I'm still an eagle with a broken wing
Symbolizing personal brokenness despite the desire to soar.
Hell yeah
Reiteration of awakening in an empty and lonely state.
I woke up in an empty bed
Describing physical and emotional numbness.
Hell yeah
Highlighting the harshness of the emotional state.
My feet are cold, my brain is dead
Emphasizing the impact on both physical and mental well-being.
Yesterday
Recalling an incident involving neighbors and conflict.
I heard my neighbors calling names
Noticing negative interactions and verbal aggression.
Through the wall
Describing a tumultuous and destructive situation.
I heard them screaming, heard them breaking things
Highlighting the intensity of the neighbors' argument.
When suddenly
Transitioning to a positive turn in the neighbors' relationship.
Their quarrel took a different turn
Describing a shift from conflict to reconciliation.
They started making up
Noticing the positive change with hugs and kisses.
I could hear their hugs and kisses burn
Symbolizing the warmth and intimacy of reconciliation.
Hell yeah
Reiterating the struggle and questioning its purpose.
Is this ment to be purifying
Pondering if the difficult experience serves a purifying function.
Hell yeah
Expressing the intense and painful nature of the experience.
It feels like hell it feels like dying
Emphasizing the suffering and feelings of despair.
I miss you
Expressing longing and a sense of emptiness in the absence of a loved one.
I count the notches on the shelf
Counting the days of emotional hardship.
I miss you
Reiterating the feeling of missing someone dearly.
One for every day in hell
Symbolizing the accumulation of emotional pain over time.
Day twelve
Specifying a particular day in the ongoing struggle.
