Lyrics
This bird just learned to fly
This bird has recently acquired the ability to fly.
Grew its wings up in the sky
It developed its wings while soaring in the sky.
Across the rivers and ripples of my mind
It traversed the rivers and ripples within the speaker's mind.
Blissful 'til the end of time
The experience was joyous, extending indefinitely.
This bird just learned to spy
Now the bird has acquired the ability to observe or watch.
Watching us up in the sky
It observes from the sky, looking down on homes and busy streets.
Across the homes and busy streets
Many different faces are observed, representing a diverse array of people.
Many faces for one to meet
These faces offer numerous opportunities for interaction.
Take me to the island
The speaker expresses a desire to be taken to an island.
You're the only one
The listener is singled out as the only one capable of guiding to this destination.
Who knows how to get there
The listener possesses exclusive knowledge of the route to the island.
Take me to the island
Reiteration of the desire to be taken to the island.
You're the only one
Emphasis on the exclusivity of the listener's knowledge.
Who knows how to get there
Restatement of the listener's unique ability to guide to the island.
Leave us alone, leave us alone
A plea for solitude, requesting to be left alone.
Leave us alone, leave us alone
-This bird just learned to cry
The bird has learned to cry, shedding tears in the sky.
Shedding tears up in the sky
Tears fall across rocks and bended trees.
Across the rocks and bended trees
The emotional experience brings the speaker down to their knees.
Brings me down to my knees
An intense emotional response is evoked.
This bird just learned to die
The bird has learned to die, descending swiftly from the sky.
Falling swiftly from the sky
Falling across the moon and grayish clouds.
Across the moon and grayish clouds
A reference to death, symbolized by the reaper and a blackened shroud.
The reaper wears his blackened shroud
A representation of the finality and darkness associated with death.
Take me to the island
Repetition of the desire to be taken to the island, emphasizing the listener's exclusive knowledge.
You're the only one
-Who knows how to get there
-Take me to the island
-You're the only one
-Who knows how to get there
-Leave us alone, leave us alone
A plea for privacy, reiterating the need to be left alone.
Leave us alone, leave us alone
-This bird, this bird
A concluding reference to the bird, possibly symbolizing a cycle or repetition.
