Starlings
Flight of Starlings: A Journey of Persistence
Lyrics
The starlings are back again
The starlings have returned.
They're not here to make amends
They are not here to reconcile or make amends.
They want to uproot everything
The starlings aim to disrupt and upheave everything.
And take over the once west wing
They want to take control of what was once the west wing.
Though you want to throw the stones
Despite your resistance, you inadvertently invite trouble.
They find their way into your homes
Stones thrown metaphorically find their way into your personal space.
You're up to leave at the crack of dawn
You are prepared to depart early in the morning.
Got your luggage you've got your little
You have your belongings ready.
Carry on carry on carry on
Repeated emphasis on the need to continue despite challenges.
Carry on carry on carry on
-Travelin at the speed of light
You are moving quickly, perhaps avoiding reality.
In fiction and in your own mind
In both fiction and your thoughts, you're on a fast journey.
The days all turn to weeks and months
Time passes, but you forget important things.
But you've forgotten more than once
-You regret letting them in
You feel remorse for allowing the starlings into your life.
The starlings swore they'd act like friends
The starlings promised friendship but betrayed that trust.
The road just stretches on and on
The journey seems endless.
Is there even room for your little
Uncertainty about accommodating your small possessions.
Carry on carry on carry on
Repeated encouragement to persevere despite challenges.
Carry on carry on carry on
-After years you hear it's safe
After a long time, safety is rumored.
The starlings have gone back to space
The starlings have returned to their space.
Back towards home you are drawn
You are naturally drawn back home.
There's no need to bring your little
No need to carry your small belongings anymore.
Carry on carry on carry on
Repeated insistence on continuing the journey.
Carry on carry on carry on
-Carry on carry on carry on
-You've got to carry on carry on carry on
Emphasizes the ongoing need to persevere and move forward.
