Black Winged Bird
Black Winged Bird: Embracing Change Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
Night can't come quick enough
Night is eagerly awaited, possibly as a respite or escape.
My faults shine in the sun
My flaws or mistakes are exposed when everything is illuminated.
A train bridge of spies
Metaphorical reference to a bridge associated with espionage or deceit.
Watches all the cars collide
Observing the chaos of life, symbolized by cars colliding.
I roll my green sleeves over Ruby
Symbolic act of covering vulnerability (Ruby) with green sleeves.
I don't blame you for doing it to me
Acceptance or lack of blame for actions taken by others.
Real girls don't take aim
Real girls don't aim with precision, contrasting with the next line.
Like kings do these days
Contrasts traditional roles, suggesting a change in power dynamics.
I made my mind up to be a black winged bird
Decision to embrace a rebellious, free-spirited identity.
Never turn my head for how things were
Commitment to forward-looking, avoiding dwelling on the past.
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn
Leaving opportunities or positive experiences for others to destroy.
And I'll soar on my way
Expressing a determination to move forward despite challenges.
Sad as the state of things we can't change
Recognition and sadness regarding unchangeable aspects of life.
Now we're paper dolls all aflame
People portrayed as fragile figures in the face of adversity.
In houses that all look the same
Uniformity and lack of individuality in societal structures.
Rows of regret
Reflecting on a series of missed opportunities or mistakes.
An arson for a wilderness
Symbolic destruction for the sake of creating something new.
I hide my saints in the willow trunk
Concealing the purity or goodness within oneself.
You started me on this junk
Acknowledging an influence that started a negative path.
Now my black lungs are blue
Consequences of negative actions, represented by the change in lung color.
But I'm still singing to you
Despite hardships, the commitment to communicate or express oneself remains.
