Lyrics
I'm like a bird
I feel confined and restricted like a bird.
Stuck in a cage
I'm trapped in a cage, symbolizing limitations.
A few miles to roam
I have some space to move, but there's no real escape.
But no getaway
Despite having a bit of freedom, there's no true getaway.
I'm like a bird
Reiteration of feeling like a bird stuck, emphasizing confinement.
Stuck in a golden cage
Now stuck in a luxurious but still confining golden cage.
It's better here
The speaker finds some comfort in the golden cage.
You can't fly away
Highlighting the inability to escape from the golden cage.
I wanna be a bird
Expressing the desire to be a bird and be free.
And I wanna be free
Reaffirmation of the longing for freedom.
No Damocles
Desire for a life without constant threats or dangers.
No sword above me
Yearning for a life without imminent risks.
I wanna be a bird
Reiteration of the wish to be a bird and experience freedom.
And I wanna soar free
Expressing the desire to soar freely like a bird.
Those golden spoons
Describing the paradox of wealth – both a prison and a key.
Are both prison and key to me
Wealth can be confining yet holds the potential for liberation.
Take me to a ghost town
Expressing the wish to be in a place untouched by history.
Where history wouldn't influence me
Yearning for a location free from external influences.
And I'll be in this ghost town
Imagining being in a ghost town to escape personal history.
My own history will not haunt me
The desire for personal history not to haunt the speaker.
If I was a ghost
If the speaker were a ghost, free from past influences.
Without previous strings
Envisioning a mind without previous constraints.
My mind unbound
Freeing the mind and leaving behind a life of royalty.
My body left a king for some
The body abdicates the throne for freedom.
If I was a ghost
If the speaker were a ghost, devoid of physical form.
Without my bones and skin
Without a corporeal presence, unable to celebrate with others.
I couldn't celebrate with friends
Being unable to engage in the joys and flaws of human connection.
Embrace the love and sin
Expressing the inability to experience both love and sin.
A broken pulse asks for something else
A disrupted heartbeat seeks something different.
That might compel the bad to its hell
Desire for change that may lead the wicked to their downfall.
A spell, you can't repel
A powerful spell that cannot be resisted.
No way to tell your way, you just dwell
Uncertainty and dwelling in one's own path without guidance.
I'll decide my own fate
Claiming the right to determine one's own destiny.
And make my own mistakes
Taking ownership of mistakes and choices.
The puppeteer's gone away
The puppeteer, a controlling force, is no longer present.
And I stay
The speaker remains, now free from external control.
Take me to a ghost town
Repeating the desire to be in a ghost town free from history.
Where history wouldn't influence me
Yearning for a place untouched by historical influences.
And I'll be in this ghost town
Reiteration of the desire for personal history not to haunt.
My own history will not haunt me physically
Ensuring personal history does not affect the speaker physically.
Take me to a ghost town
Expressing the wish to be in a ghost town untouched by history.
Where history wouldn't influence me
Yearning for a location unaffected by historical events.
And I'll be in this ghost town
Reiteration of the desire for personal history not to haunt.
My own history will not haunt me physically
Ensuring personal history has no physical impact on the speaker.
